Notices

Hi,

I recently bought MBW-150 to use it with my N900 via OpenWatch. But It doesn't connect properly. The bluetooth icon turns blue for a second, then connection fails. "python /opt/openwatch/openwatch.py" exits without any warning and openwatchui.py doesn't generate anything useful too. (only message is about mkdir, It says ~/.openwatch already exists)

I've already tried to reinstall, reboot and pair them again but still doesnt work :| python-bluez is already installed, and I've installed python-imaging too but removed python-Imaging from dependencies b/c of the case-sensitivity problem. (I / i) Since there's no useful error message or source code I can't track the problem. I'm very disappointed about it now. OpenWatch for Linux seems like working -without any useful feature, but It makes it possible to test media keys and connection- so I think the problem is not my N900 or the watch itself, its the software.

Maybe its important: Since I couldnt get any output from my N900, I've tried "python2.5 openwatch.pyc" on Scratchbox and on N900, got nothing.

Nokia-N900-42-11:/opt/openwatch# python2.5 openwatch.pyc
Nokia-N900-42-11:/opt/openwatch#


If you can help me, or if you do know anything about how can I make it work OK or if you have any good advice, I need help.


PS: Also, I sent a PM to moneytoo on Maemo Talk! but It seems like he's away or he doesn't care much because the openwatch for maemo is now dropped It would be beyond great if it gets open-sourced. (Open-Watch? Why not open it :P ) I feel sooo lonely.

The major problem I've found is no vibration alear and no caller ID displayed for incoming calls.

@taike
worksforme on PR1.3.

Maybe you disabled it from the watch menu? I didn't try it, but In the watch's menu, there is a mail icon (second option from left), you can enable/disable it with top right button. afaik you can enable notifications using it.
