Hey,
I looked around the windows phone forums and didn't find a similar question. Was going to post this in Lumia 800 Accessories but figure I'll get a better response here (and it is windows phone generic).
Does anyone know a Bluetooth watch that will work fine with Windows Phone? I'm looking for something which will simply give me a subtle vibration anytime I get a phone call, text message, e-mail or any other notification.
I've been looking at these:

Not really a watch, more a bracelet but it vibrates when the phone has a call. It would be perfect for me but it doesn't look like it would notify you of any other notifications such as texts or emails. Phone calls and Texts would be ideal, I'm not really fussed about anything else.
I just want something small and simple which will vibrate/alert me when I receive something, allowing me to leave my phone on silent in my pocket when I'm in work but still alert me when I receive something.

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I tried another forum but never heard back. There are a couple of problems. I received an unlocked HP iPAQ 510 Voice Messenger for Christmas 2007. I can't find any information on fixing this or a fix for this.
When I am on the phone talking to someone, they can hear that I’ve received a message (voice, text, etc). They can hear reminder sounds and that I’ve missed calls. It just keeps on playing right out of the speaker. We just have to wait for it to play out. It doesn't matter if the call is on Normal, Outdoor, or Vibrate. The other party and I can still hear that a message or alert has come through. I did stumble onto an option under Settings>Accessibility. I can change the In-Call Alert Volume from 0-5. I won't hear the alert while on the phone if I set the profile to Silent or if I adjust the In-Call Alert Volume to 0. I would like a way to hear a regular beep and for the other caller to hear nothing. You know... as though I am using some other phone that works properly. I hate having to go back and forth changing my profiles. It must be HP related or something. My friend has an iMate sp5m and this doesn’t happen to them. We even compared our registries. I’ve not stumbled onto this in various forums.
Also, for incoming calls, I’ve chosen a ringer of my choice. When I answer the call, it stops playing this ringer sound immediately. I would like the same to happen for my messages. When I receive any type of text message, upon checking the message, the sound should cease. It is not doing this. How can this be fixed? Now after checking the forums, it seems that there is no real way to do this regardless of if it is Windows Mobile 5 or 6. However, I figured I'd ask or I could've missed something.
I chatted with HP a couple times and they had me do a master reset a few times. This didn’t help it. I called the repair number and they sent me another phone. I received the new HP iPAQ 510 today. It still has the same issue with playing tones while I am on the phone. Is there a registry value or something that I am missing?
I haven’t done much within the registry of this phone. I have completely unlocked the phone using SDA Application Unlock and changed a couple policy values.
Begging for help,

Man
This Happens To all The Phones that use windows mobile it even happend on my htc typhoon , n my cousinz htc feeler oxygen and htc gene and my ipaq 514 the song or melody carries on til it ends you could try editing the sound and making it like 10sec s0 it Does n0t Play That l0ng as for hearing the sounds in the phone call try puting it on loadspeaker and taking it out see if dat helps
Thank you for your help
Thank you for your reply and confirmation on the text message issue. Also, I turned on the loudspeaker while on a call. I sent a message and took it off and sent one as well. We could still hear the tone. You mentioned that you have or had a 514. Does this issue I'm describing when on a call sound familiar to you? I may have HP send me a 514 (if there are less issues) or maybe I'll look at getting an HTC Touch Dual or a S730. Of course I'll have to research them more.
IV never n0tiCEd
Well Iv never Recieved a text message during a call so i dont knw rather get a touch dual it beta da HP
Has Microsoft (or anyone else, for that matter) ever published a book, whitepaper, or anything else that actually explains how the various components of WM5/6 actually "work" in a real PDA phone?
I've seen various scattered documents at MSDN that tell how to write applications for phones running WM5/6, but I've never been able to find anything that coherently explains how a PDA phone running WM5/6 actually HANDLES incoming/outgoing phone calls -- the apps and DLLs involved, points where you can wedge your own handlers into the event chain, etc.
I guess what I'm really looking for right now is some guidance about where to even LOOK for that info... the official library/object name(s), the proper phrases to google for, etc. I have a hunch that what I'm looking for is NOT in the MSDN documentation tree for WM6 Professional PDA Phones, and is hidden somewhere else in the hierarchy... but finding anything at MSDN feels like searching for a needle in a haystack unless you already know exactly what you're looking for and what it's officially called ;-)
For what it's worth, I want to write my own replacement handler(s) for voicemail notifications. I can't stand the way WM6 stupidly makes me swat away the notification that I have voicemail, and decline to listen to it, then swat away a second notification that I have a missed call before FINALLY letting me know whose call I missed (and by extension, who left the voicemail message). I want to write a handler that shows something like:
Missed Calls:
Joe Smith @ 3 minutes ago (italics = left voicemail)
Jenna Ho @ 2:27am
Matt Johnson @ yesterday 11:52pm
Matt Johnson @ yesterday 10:23PM
on the screen instead.
Also, I use my cell phone as my "real" phone, and have an AT&T cordless phone that pairs with it via bluetooth. Unfortunately, it doesn't notify me of voicemail or received SMS messages, and I can easily go for HOURS without noticing (say, if I'm outside when someone calls, and they leave a voicemail message... until I physically happen to wake up the phone and look at the display, I'll never even know someone called). So... I want to build a circuit using a BlueSMIRF bluetooth-uart module and a microcontroller that toggles an input on my home automation/burglar alarm system (triggering a voice announcement over the loudspeakers), and have my handler app on the phone connect to it and trigger that notification every few minutes until I notice. I also wouldn't mind being able to make the phone go crazy vibrating in response to a received sms/voicemail message, so if I'm somewhere like a noisy nightclub wearing loose jeans and don't notice, it will keep vibrating and making noise until I do.
Hi everyone,
First I need to state that what I'm using is the new Fitbit charge band. It's a fitness band, not a smartwatch. I understand this but this fitness band does have an OLED screen that shows CALL NOTIFICATIONS, among other fitness data like steps, time, etc. What it doesn't do is show TEXT NOTIFICATIONS OR EMAILS.
This is going to be an odd question but I figure xda forum is just the place to ask. I need to figure out how to have texts on my phone show up as calls as well as text form notifications for my fitbit charge sports band. I've thought of everything such as forwarding to google voice and then forwarding back to my cellphone as a text to landline to receive my texts that way. But it seems the only way to get a text to landline is to literally have a landline telephone. Is there an app that could do this? Any help please!! I know this is confusing but I'm not the only person out there who would love this functionality.
Smartwatches just aren't low profile enough in my opinion and that is why I'm trying to jimmy rig this thing to work how I'd like.
Thanks for the help!!
Ok, so Tmobile finally got my digits working and it's awesome to be able to leave the house without my phone. Now with spotify, I don't have to take my phone to the gym anymore. I just hook my BT ear buds and I have everything I need. I can even use it like a phone with a BT headset and when I call people see as if I'm calling from my phone.
Now with that being said, I have only had one issue so far but it's not a digits or tmobile problem. The way I figure I'll just live with it. The nature of having your watch share the same phone number means you get duplicate notifications. For example, if I'm connected to the phone through Bluetooth or I have call forwarding set to get my notifications from my phone and somebody sends me a text, I get the notification from the phone and I clear it. Now when I disconnect from the phone. My text messages and missed calls show up as notifications from the watch.
It makes sense. If the watch is sharing the same phone number, the phone will forward the message to the watch but the watch is also receiving the message to. I know there is an option to block but I want to be able to get my texts and missed calls if I turn off my phone and am using the watch in stand alone mode.
I figured a fix though for those who use the forwarding function and will always have stuff forwarded from the phone is to block the watch notifications. My solution it to just go to the text messaging app and clear them manually, ignore them or just delete the message conversation.
Just something to make people aware of when using Digits if you haven't signed up for it already. I personally like it so far and will probably pay for the service if it's reasonable.
I had a heck of a time getting tmobile to set it up right but when they finally got it working I like it now.
I'm having the same issue...wonder if there's a way to stop the dual notifications?
Just for my S3 frontier and having the same issue. Any fixes?
HI all,
My gf's phone behaves in a really strange way...
During an audio call using common communicators, say skype, whatsapp, messenger, if a new incoming gsm/lte connection is coming, then it automatically takes priority over communicator call. Communicator call is put on hold.
What is most annoying, is that you are not able to inform the person on other side of the line that there is a new incoming connection - no, the second incoming connection is appearing on screen, current connection is put on hold. To clarify, user can chose whether to accept or cancel new incoming call, but the 'communicator' call is already on hold;(
I find this most annoying coming from iphone environment, where I have full control on all live and incoming connections and where no connection is prioritised. When im on a whatsapp audio call and a regular gsm connection is coming, I can let other person know that I have incoming connection and decide to answer, cancel or put current call on call. I find this rather normal behaviour. Unfortunately this is not the case on my gf's phone which drives me nuts
Please let me know if this is case of specific ROM, or android os in general? I hope you could guide me toward an easy solution, hopefully not requiring reinstalling new rom. Many thanks!
Phone is running MIUI Global 10.2.1.0, Android 8.0.0.
