Thanks!

For WM 2003, you only have to install .NET CF 2 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en). Then it should work. The only worry could be the setting COM ports in registry. But since you have the watch, just try that.

Hello,

I have the same Problem ..... outgoing Com Port only Com6 & Com7 available
I created Com5 (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\S erial\Ports\SupportedPorts)
But If I want to use these Com5, I get an ERROR :
"The Com connection could not be produced. ......."

Could anybody help (maybe in German) to solve these "Outgoing Com Port 6 & 7" Problem ?
Please in German, my (and others) English is terrible, Thanks

Sorry I've been away for so long. It took sony 6 weeks to send out my replacement watch so I've kind of dropped off the map for a while. It sounds like people are making great progress!

Anyway, I thought I'd post a link to a very basic version of the app I was working on.

Just unzip the files to a folder on your device and run the executable.

If your watch has not already been paired with the phone then put it in pairing mode and click menu->discover. Otherwise just hit menu->discover.

Select your device from the drop down menu and click connect.

If pairing for the first time press the button to check the date when the watch first vibrates, otherwise just press the button after clicking connect.

Once connected the date and time will be set and you will recieve Caller ID name and number when receiving a call. I included a call and sms button for testing purposes.

Anyway, give it a try ... I'm curious what versions of WM this will work on as I wrote it for WM6. Any feedback is much appreciated.

In the mean time I will be trying out the other app listed on this site.

Just a quick side note.

The app I am working on gets around all the registry hacks I had originally used and instead uses a direct socket link to the watch rather than a com port. This may help those of you that are having trouble configuring the connection for moneytoo's app (Pretty Sweet BTW).

The app, however, was written specifically for the MBW-100 but may work with others if the AT-Commands are similar.

Here's the latest version of my application for MBW-100. Currently at version 0.1.2

I pretty much rebuilt my original application from the ground up to make the software easier to use and make it more practical for the addition of new features.

This version currently supports the following:

1. Pairing of a new Watch directly through the app (added support for different pins).
2. Establishing communication with an already paired Watch.
3. Creates a registry key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\btWatch) for device setup and options.
4. Options Menu to enable/disable features.
5. Current Options: CID, SMS, EMAIL, VIBRATION and Number of rings to Vibrate on.
6. Fully functional incoming call notification (name/number + vib for n rings)
7. Notification of incoming Text Messages.
8. Notification when new Email arrives.
9. Digital Date and Time are synchronized with the phone.
10.Added debugging mode to allow you to see behind the scenes for testing purposes ("Monitor Connection")

Setup is fairly simple. Extract the 2 files from the zip to a folder on your phone and run btWatch.exe. On 1st use select menu->setup->add watch. If your device has been paired click search, otherwise set watch to pairing mode then hit search. Select your watch from the list and click connect. Once this has been completed you will only need to press the connect button in the lower right on future use of the app.

To use it after the device has been setup simply click connect and press the button on the watch used to display the date. The watch should vibrate after a vew seconds and the date/time will also be updated. You can change options at any time whether the watch is connected or not. There is a test menu so that you can check that Call/SMS notifications are working as well as enable debugging mode. When you are happy with your options you can click the x in the upper right to minimize the app and use your phone as usual (with the added benefit of your bluetooth watch).

Anyway, I hope you all like the new version better! Please let me know if it works with your watch and also let me know what make/model of watch you have (and version of WM) so that I can ensure that the software is compatible with all of them. I'd also appreciate any ideas you may have for "outside-the-box" features to add, such as hourly stock price updates for your favorite stock, weather, etc.

Thanks for pointing this out. I guess I still have things to improve.

I wanted to try your application on WM5 smartphone (Qtek 8500) but it fails with NotSupportedException. I will try this later on Kaiser. I'm really curious.

BTW: What's your future plans?

Currently the app requires CF2 and was compiled using the WM6 SDK. I will have to install one for WM5 and recompile to see if it helps. I really appreciate the feedback, let me know if it works on the Kaiser. Have you tried with any WM6 phone?

Furture Plans: Info from phone such as # of unread email & SMS messages, etc. I would love to add many of the features you have created for the MBW-150, but am unsure if it is possible on the MBW-100. I do however intend to add direct support for the 150, but do not have one to play with. Would you mind posting the AT Commands used to send the currently playing audio track name to the MBW-150. Any info you have on the 150 will be very beneficial in adding support to my app and may help me create a few new features for the 100.

[pcfixitman]

By the way I just saw that the MBW-150 also uses the following AT Commands during the initial connection:
ATE0
AT*SEVOL?
AT*SEMMIR=2
I will add support for these to the app tonight, which should allow basic functionality for MBW-150 owners.
