Recenzia hodiniek Sony Ericsson MBW-150 Executive Edition (SK)
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":
Code:
smartWatchM.exe
IOException

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.

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.

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

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.
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
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:
Code:
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()
schaggo: I tried calling my phone while watch was out of reach - without any crash. So maybe I have corrected it meanwhile.
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).
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...
I just downloaded the newest version (0.1.3.1 I guess).
I ran intro a problem though. I can't successfully establish a clean connection anymore. It hangs at AT+CCLK? and before that throws ALOT of ERROR: No data. Press... to start. at me. It does that again after a couple seconds. The watch just continues to connect (<<<<<<<B>>>>>>>)

Waiting for connection. Press a button on watch to initiate connection.
Edit: Strangely though, it seems to work now. I tried a couple times with disconnecting, turning bluetooth on and off on the device and the watch, and now it seems to work.
This may happen from time to time if sWM doesnt respond to all initiation commands. It's probably because watch was already sending commands when you press Start. But I'm not 100% sure anyway. Even I have to deal with this sometime...
Turn on/off BT on both watch and WM. Try waiting few seconds (before you press button on watch). Or restart your WM. This helps a lot.
EDIT: I have done some fixes in v0.1.3.2. I believe this prevent from that error as much as possible.
EDIT2: One more time... v0.1.4.0 should be more power-savy, and has faster responses.
Ok, downloading V0.1.4.0 and testing. I'll report back in once I find more stuff to complain about
GREAT .....
Great Work .....
NOW, I can finally buy myself the BlueTooth / Abacus for my WM 6 PDA !!!
You must continue.
THX
I found the new version to be very very fast. Congrats on that!
From time to time the watch reports a lost connection though.
Watch and PDA are on the table and out of the blue the watch vibrates and shows lost connection. Dunno if it's a fundamental bluetooth problem or some communication errors with the program.
Another thing: my mum called me today and the watch only vibrated without showing the number. I gonna run a test right now: Indeed, the watch only vibrates without passing on the number. It shows the "Missed call" though after I hang up. Did you change anything in that routine?
Edit: Minor annoyance spotted: smartWatchM doesn't speak foreign languages, ë for example shows up as ? on the phone...

This never happen to me. I lost the connection only if I leave room without my phone. I guess this may be weak BT. Or maybe WM close sWM because of memory?

I've just checked that and it should still work. If the watch rings without showing phone number/caller name, this is result of
wrong initiation. I tried that several times today and got this error only one time. Exiting the application and starting again helped. My only advice is: Do not immidiately start the communication but wait a while. My connection is successful in 95% tries. BTW, I do not turn off BT.
I will test sWP on other devices.

Does it display "ë" with SE phone? I think the watch support only ASCII. I will add feature that will unaccent the characters.
I doubt that WM closes sMW. I'm a memory freak and I immediately close every application I don't use anymore. And the Touch Cruise with 128mb RAM should be stong enough to run sWM
I guess I'm to dumb or the Bluetooth stacks in our phones are *not exactly* the same, hence the inconveniences. But they are minor and not really something to care about at this point. But as you said, restarting the program and turning bluetooth on and of usually resolves the problem very quickly.
As for the accent, I don't know. I'd have to check that. Let's see where I can get a SE from
(I actually have 3 laying around... just to lazy to switch sim cards )
watch+bluetooth headset?
I have an HTC Athena, it is possible to have connected in the same time the watch and a bluetooth headset? If is possible it will be the perfect combination....
Hi,
great thing it should work on WM6, because I got the watch as a present, and me or them did not know it would only work with some phones.
I have a question for you: How do i enter the registry values on windows mobile 6 (smartphone)
i installed PHM Registry Editor, and i can enter all keys and values but don't know how to do this one:
sdprecord"=hex:36,00,32,36,00,2F,09,00,00,0A,00,01,00,00,09,00,01,35,03,19,11,01,09,00,04,35,0C,35,03,19,01,00,35,05,19,00,03,08,01,09,01,00,25,09,47,50,53,20,52,46,63,6F,6D"
I tried to add a binary value with value starting from 36,00,.... and so one, but i couldn't enter all of it due to maximum characters. Kind of stuck here, anyone an idea?
Yeehaw!
Can't wait for the next version!
The latest one so far looks promising and works like a charm.
Thanks!
Hello all,
current version is 1.4.1 beta
my own attempt to add the missing "missed call" and "missed sms" reminder to WM 6, WM 6.1 and WM 6.5
the idea here was to keep it simple. the program can vibrate and or generate a chosen sound at a set interval, to notify the user that there are missed calls or unread sms messages. it will wakeup the device if needed to give the notification.
Note: The program has been created and tested on PocketPC phones only. This program might or might not work correctly on Smartphones.
to use:
install the cab on the device or the storage card.
launch the application and set your preferences.
click apply, the program will minimize. it is neccessary to keep the program running to have it generate new reminders, but it only uses the cpu when needed it does not poll every minute or so to see if a notification came in.
hope that someone will find this usefull
The program currently offers the following:
missed notification for missed call/ sms / mms and e-mail
No reminder when call is in progress
Option to set sound per reminder type (the sounds will,if needed, be generated all at once for the moment, this could be changed in the future)
option to "minimize to taskbar" or "minimize and hide"
Lock screen on phone call connect (I am using this myself and decided to keep it in. it locks the screen using the windows lock when a phonecall is connected. it unlocks the screen when a phonecall is finished. Default this is off, and you do not have to use it if you do not want to.)
Option to set vibrate time in seconds
LED vibrate number can be chosen from 0 till 20
Option to not wakeup the device
Option to not give reminder in set timespan (if you specify from 2300 till 0700, it means that the program will not generate a reminder between 2300 and 0700 each day)
About box
Should display in QVGA/VGA/WQVGA/WVGA
The program uses almost no cpu time, only when it is needed
one "advanced user" registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MissedCallReminder:
debug: Default is "False", if set to "True", the program will generate debug information in a logfile. to help me indentify problems.
NOTE: apparently Omnia devices use the sms count for both SMS and MMS, that means that the program should generate a MMS reminder if SMS reminder is selected. I would like to hear from Omnia users if this is true.

A small FAQ
Q: what does Vibrate LED number mean?
A: The LED number specified here is used to vibrate the device. This is different per device. Using the "Menu - Test vibrate" you can test if the number entered in the vibrate LED number field is the correct one for vibrating the device.
Q: what does the menu option "No icon in taskbar mean?
A: the option "Menu - No icon in taskbar" controls the "minimize to taskbar" or "minimize and hide".
When "No icon in taskbar" is NOT selected the program will minimize to the taskbar. the program can only be reopened using the icon in the taskbar. it is not visible in the taskmanager.
When "No icon in taskbar" is selected the program will only minimize. it can be reopened by relaunching the program. it is also visible in the taskmanager.
TouchFlo user should select the "No icon in taskbar". when doing this please close the program and relaunch it for the setting to take effect.
Q: What does "Lock screen on call connect" mean?
A: it locks the screen using the windows lock when a phonecall is connected. it unlocks the screen when a phonecall is finished. Default this is off, and you do not have to use it if you do not want to.
Q: I cannot relaunch the program when it is already running using the program icon.
A: please see post # 2:

Further explanation for the program does not start from program icon
I'll try to explain with some pictures how the program behaves when the no icon in taskbar option is selected or not selected. Just to be sure that it is not the cause for users who are experiencing problems with reopening the program using the program icon:
first situation:
You have installed MissedCallReminder and you start it for the first time, If you change nothing and select Apply the following will now happen:
Menu - no icon in taskbar is NOT selected (noiconintaskbar.jpg)
The program is not visible in any Taskmanager's application list
The MissedCallReminder icon is visible in the taskbar (Iconintaskbarnotselected.jpg)
When this is happening the program will not react to clicks on the program icon in the programs list, it can only be reopened using the taskbar icon.
second situation
You have installed MissedCallReminder and you start it for the first time, you select Menu - no icon in taskbar AND completely exit the application using Menu - Exit. You then restart the program and select Apply and the following will now happen:
Menu - no icon in taskbar is selected (Iconintaskbarselected.jpg)
The program is visible in any Taskmanager's application list (visibleintaskmanager.jpg)
The MissedCallReminder icon is NOT visible in the taskbar
When this is happening the program will react to clicks on the program icon in the programs list.
Request: If users experience this and are certain the above situation is not the case then i would be very interested in what the program registry settings are. if you are able to do this could those users please open a registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyMissedCallReminder and tell me the value of the key "minimizetotaskbar"
cool.. i'll be using it
FootPrint?
What kind of a footprint or memory usage does it require?

Looks neat
Throwing in an idea, hope it's ok. It would be good if you could have reminders for only missed calls and not messages (or the other way around for that matter - looks like you will get the same reminders from both on the screenshots).
I'm biking a lot and don't always won't to stop to read a new message, hence reminders can be a bit annoying. On the other hand, I'm wearing my headset so I always pick up calls

Good Job, it works on my KS20
I like it, it is simple
No Vibrating
No vibrating on ASUS P535!
How do you HTC people cope with the reminder witch turns on the screen. In your pocket, an unwanted touch on the screen could run an application?
The Asus P535 has an HOLD button!
Too bad the button apply can't be reached with a 240x320 (landscape) display like the one used on the IPAQ 914C

when applying the settings you can also specify the LED number to vibrate (default is 1) . please try this. perhaps it will be usefull to have a test option.
regarding the unwanted touch problem, i personally use S2U2, so when the device wakes up i do not have this problem.
what i can do is add an option that the device does not wakeup when a reminder is given. but that does mean that you will not hear any reminder until the device wakes up.

There are programs that still work in SLEEP MODE (for example, autoflight is always telling me the time....even in sleep mode).
*Memory heap size = 1Mb (OsRemindMe = 1,6Mb)

i think the LED number for vibrate could be any number between 0 - 5, but i do not know for sure, it is 1 on my Touch. i must admit that setting the LED number is not very clear for first time users. I do not know how to make it so that it automatically uses the correct number.
I'm in the impression that you can not hear a sound if the device is in sleep mode. but perhaps i am mistaken? Autoflight generates a sound without waking up the device?
Thanks it's great
Always wanted an app like that for my WM6.1
nice piece of work
pretty nice work.. however, it would be good if following things can be revised?
--> can you plz add in a feature "number to repeat". FYI, i'm now using Throttle Launcher. So, i can't trigger off the reminder alarm. it would be good if it stops automatically after x-times (which can be set by user),
OR..
whenever i read/aware the missed call/msg, this reminder program would detect that missed call / unread msg = 0, thus OFF the reminder automatically. (This would be preferable)
Many Thanks....
add in some extra information..

regarding above statements, perhaps i shall further clarify....
a) add in "number to repeat"..
example: reminder will give notification every interval of 2mins for 5 times
I'm now using Touch (with Throttle Launcher interface, 240x320), perhaps this reminder program need user to off it manually? yet, it's too bad that i can't trigger this button... so, i suggest 2nd option which stated above....
Thanks...

if the user dismisses the missed calls and marks the unread sms as read while the program is running ,the program should know when not to give the reminder anymore.
however problems can arise if the program is not running and the user dismisses the missed call/unread sms notifications. the set reminder will then not be cancelled. this should be fixed in the next version. the next version will also have an option to clear generated reminders.
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Personally I think this program has great potential. Just wish it could be revised to a better software.
I tried it yesterday. It rings to notify me that i have missed calls / unread msg.. somehow, I went to read the msg and checked the missed call.. yet, the reminder won't stop.. (and i din see any button to be pressed to stop, if there is any? )..
plz advise?
Thanks
