Let me tell you how god like you and pcfixitman are! very, god like, very...
But the program is not (yet) working on the Professional version of Windows Mobile 6.
I tried it on an Xda orbit 2 (HTC Touch Cruise) and the procedures seem to match, it changes the type of device into headset, I can assign an outgoing port and I can add an incoming port. All fine.
But there seems to be an incompatibility with the OS. It spits out the following error when I select "Open COM":

smartWatchM.exe
IOException
Es kann keine Fehlermeldung angezeigt werden, da die optionale Ressource der Assembly, die die Fehlermeldung enthält, nicht gefunden wurde.

But great work, I might marry you

EDIT: I softreset the PPC and now it just kind of worked. The devices communicated with each other, I got some output on the screen and I could make the watch vibrate. It doesn't work anymore *just now*. I'll keep trying...

EDIT 2: Since my girlfriend gave me the watch as a (ridiculously expensive) present and it didnt work till now, she - upon I demonstrated her your work - said, and I quote: "Offer that guy my body..."

This is coming along nicely, it works great on WM6 Pro. I thought about the program and came up with some proposals:

• Once you port it to unmanaged code (C/#/+ of some sort I guess) can you make it use language files? Users could customize/localize the messages like that.
• You could implement several control modes. Like music player control, or system msg control (show info/rss/battery etc msg) or whatever and switch modes by applying a button combination. Next/prev toggles between modes for example. You get the idea.
• If possible you could even implement some kind of a plugin system. An API of some sort so that ppl could write their own extensions to use the watches ability. I can't think of anything useful yet, maybe use the watch to control the PPC which then acts as an infra red remote control for the TV. Just whatever stupid ppl can come up with

Thats it, more or less, what I could come up with.

Once you port it to unmanaged code (C/#/+ of some sort I guess) can you make it use language files? Users could customize/localize the messages like that.

It's too early for that.
Most important thing will be text converter (text -> hex) that will allow possible dynamic text/graphic output to the watch (reading SMS/Email...). The display is 96x16 so even 2-line output would be possible.

You could implement several control modes. Like music player control, or system msg control (show info/rss/battery etc msg) or whatever and switch modes by applying a button combination. Next/prev toggles between modes for example. You get the idea.

Yeah, I got the same idea. First I'm gonna make some switching modes in WM application util everything will be optimized.

If possible you could even implement some kind of a plugin system. An API of some sort so that ppl could write their own extensions to use the watches ability. I can't think of anything useful yet, maybe use the watch to control the PPC which then acts as an infra red remote control for the TV. Just whatever stupid ppl can come up with

I've heard about remote control already. Plugins... Too early to say ....

Anyway, I'm still working on improving stability (dummyproof, avoid any crash), better (faster) event handling and adding new features.

[iruja]

Hmm, finally someone made a wm plugin for this great piece of hardware
Have been eying it before, but without a wm plugin it was pretty much useless.
When I get the chance I'll buy one for sure now.
Will check out on this thread for the progress you make

[schaggo]

Well of course it's waaaay to early for all that, I was just thinking out loud. Thats all. But putting graphics/multi line text on the display, oh god, buddy, you could charge 20 bucks for that thing if you'd finish it

It's working great btw, I tested it quite hard today. I ran across the following:

If the watch is out of range and you get a message, sWM crashes because (thats what I read out of the message) it tries to access the non-existant device on the com port sending the new msg notification:

bei System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.Write()
bei System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Write()
bei System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.WriteLine()
bei smartWatchM.Form1.timer2_Tick()
bei System.Windows.Forms.Timer._WnProc()
bei System.Windows.Forms.ApplicationThreadContext._InternalContextMessages()
bei Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
bei System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
bei smartWatchM.Program.Main()

[moneytoo]

schaggo: I tried calling my phone while watch was out of reach - without any crash. So maybe I have corrected it meanwhile.

[moneytoo]

schaggo, what watch do you have? MBW-150?
I have implemented few more features (battery status (5-level), notification repeat, new message type (envelope + message type)...) so you may test & report.
For now, sWM offers even more features than Sony Ericsson phone (in case you dont use Media Player control and dont need reject incoming calls).

[schaggo]

I have an MBW-150 Classic like you.
And it makes me freak out, because I owned a SonyEricsson P1 and was going nuts because the watch worked so well and all features *cough couch lol* were supported. And on WM nothing worked. But SonyEricsson actually was wrong, the watch has as many features, as the agent on the phone can control. So, well, let's say sWM is f***ing exciting! I'll get on testing...
