Liveview With Custom ROMs

I am currently running the excellent and quite stable Oxygen 2.0 RC5 Gingerbread ROM but there are some issues with the BT connection force closing when the liveview connects.

What happens is, that the LV and phone (HTC Desire) will pair and connect (i.e. you get and can navigate the functions of the LV) but the second it connects the LV app FC's and all you're left with is the device showing the time and nothing else if you OK the FC notification on the phone.

It's a real shame but I'm looking for a fix atm and will post if I get one.
[Nexus One Accessories] anotherdroid:
same here Rolex922. i'm running O2RC6 and have the same situation. i don't get FCs on the phone, just the LiveView pairs, will load up the screen but like yours, the second you use the watch, it has to reconnect.

i did read last week that LiveView does not work with Gingerbread, period. so, hopefully Sony will make that a priority.
[Nexus One Accessories] Rolex922:
anotherdroid,

Thanks. I didn't know it was a gingerbread issue as I was running CM6 prior to that and all was ok. I do hope that SE come up with a fix. I actually like the device.
[Nexus One Accessories] danguyf:
I love the idea of the LiveView, but I've been a bit scared off by the reviews I've read here and elsewhere.

The upcoming Velocity Micro Cruz has me hopeful. The screen is half an inch larger than the LiveView -- not sure if that's an advantage or not yet -- and is an LCD touchscreen rather than an OLED. Hopefully it'll have a nice price point, good battery life, and no bluetooth connection issues.

[Nexus One Accessories] anotherdroid:
danguyf, the LiveView seems to be reviewed continuously spot-on. most are dissatisfied with it's battery life, connection problems, etc. i've experienced all of them. but, for me, i use this watch for relatively short time periods and mostly when i'm riding my motorbike and don't want to be bothered reading my phone while i'm driving ;)

i barely had a good month toying with it due to my more important desire to put Gingerbread on my HTC which broke bluetooth connection to the LiveView. otherwise, the 1 month i was able to use it, it's a great toy and not to be considered some outrageously expensive thrift. it's affordable and it's really the first android-ready (promoted as) BT watch. it's a great *toy*. and it tells you the time, which is awesome.
[Nexus One Accessories] kpjimmy:
Bit the bullet and bought one...

Even with the less than stellar reviews, I got one at a great price. I always liked the BT accessories that SE had so I figured what the hey.

The band is nice for what it is, the clip is sturdy.

Right now charging up. Will post my thoughts on my N1 using Rod's MIUIMOD rom.
[Nexus One Accessories] kpjimmy:
Initial impression

This thing is a cool toy really. The connection problem is there, but really not that bad. I had the liveview freeze up on me a couple times and also reboot the phone lol...but that was only once so far in playing with it.

I have to say the screen is nice and crisp. The apps that are on the market are nice. You can only have 6 plugins at one time, just a fyi. The liveview app is good, but there is another program that houses the liveview program, both are free and that app, liveware works pretty well.

I can see where the connection lapses and you need to reconnect. I haven't worn it for a day so I cannot tell yet, but like others here have said and what I have read, it seems that the next update should address some of these problems. Bottom line, I do like it for what it is and does. And for the price I paid for it, it's totally worth it :)

Will report back after some days of usage. Anyone know of another type of watchband that is compatible with the liveview? I'm going to look around myself :)
[Nexus One Accessories] kpjimmy:
Here is a sort of 'fix' using the openwatch app and few other apps, one which is a paid for app, but bottom line it works and kept my connection for at least 2 hours until I had to leave work (the liveview is at work for now to test )

Latest SE Liveview update Fixes Issues With Gingerbread

The latest update released a few days ago from SE, has addressed quite a few connection issues, especially with gingerbread. BT now works with Oxygen ROM RC-7 (gingerbread) on my HTC Desire.

I've only been running it since last night but the connection seems a little more stable and the restriction on 6 plugins has been lifted to a max of 30. I haven't noticed any difference in battery life but time will tell and SE say they have addressed battery life performance.

Have fun.

Dear Developers/Hackers,

XDA Orbit I / Windows Mobile 6.0 and 6.5.

I would like users to only visit two websites with build in internet explorer mobile.

As it does not have some funcionality as Desktop IE 8.0 or similar there is nothing under options / preferences that lets me limit the allowed websites.

Is there an easy possibility / hack (not hosts file, this leads to other problems) by which I can do that?

Thanks

Hello!

I read a forum post on another site that Paid Apps wont be immidiatly available in all countries. Can anyone here confirm or deny that?

I live in Sweden and I don't want to miss out paid apps that often have a better quality (not saying that it isn't high quality free apps).
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
I'm just going off memory but I believe every country that has phones officially available will have paid apps. However, not all applications will be available in every country.
[Windows Phone 7 General] XaaR_:
I have seen the source to the claim now, and it's not put straight, the only thing said is that the answer to that question "will spread like fire on forums", which in my ears sounds like it wont be available. But I don't see why they would restrict it in WP7 when it's working in WM6.1, feels like most of the work should be done (payment handling and such).

And of course it will be some region restrictions. Some apps is simply only useful in a local area.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the0ne:
from what we heard all there will be localised WP7 marketplace for each location and paid app ( if the de have added it to your local market ) will be avilable for purchase from day one

This morning I was greeted by a message from AT&T that makes it clear they REALLY want me to update.

My questions: What is in this update?

My phone has been rooted, had side loading was enabled, removed at&t apps, and installed the battery indicator update.zip. Is it safe to install this update on top of these changes?

If it is not wise to update now, how can tell it not do install the update? It seems that it will only let me delay it for a maximum of 3*4=12 hours...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
You might want to try updating it via Kies mini:

http://www.all-samsungphones.com/samsung-captivate-i897-kies-ver-10082-8-1-software-download.html/

The OTAs have been hit or miss =P Though I'd recommend you unroot first, just to be safe
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max_warheads:
My Gf's rooted, but unmodified system worked flawlessly with the OTA, admittedly, on the second try. First try it just complained and failed within 5 minutes. Rebooted and it was good to go with the OTA.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shovelhead84:
You can just use the home button to exit out and it is delayed indefinitely. That is what I did until I flashed a rom that already contained the update.

There have been several threads about this update and plenty of information concerning it. I would look in the Captivate General and Q&A forums if you just want info about it. The developers section is good if you want to flash a rom with the update already applied.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cypho:
Thanks, that sounds like a good plan.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitenerj:
Agreed, do it through Kies. Worked perfect for me.

I would also like to here what you use.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I use eWallet from iliumsoft.com - i have used it for almost 10 years. They now license per household and sync with everything:

I have it on my Desktop PC, my Mac, iPod Touch and android and it syncs with all of them and between all of them. The android "client" is read only; but I wouldn't switch even if it stays read only.

Face it, if you're actually going to give your KIDS anything more than a dumbphone, I'd be more concerned about them doing worse than looking at porn. You probably actually think that if they want porn, there's no way to get it on the computer since you have "filtering software" isntalled, right? Believe me, there's ways around ALL of those. Just go take a look at the Flash cookies. Also,Bing.
[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:

If they really want to wank they'll find a way. Don't get paranoid. Just tell then you have monitoring software on their phones and that should put them at bay until they register at XDA and realize it was a lie.

If you are that worried about it, you can try MobiStealth which is an Android monitoring (spy) software. I have not used it and cannot say it works but it is the only thing that I have found.

[HD2 General] Johev:
Hi all,

First of all I was not sure where to post my question, so I decided to put it in General. I hope I made the right choice.

As for my question, I tried to Google this, but no clear answer.

What is the benefit of the RAM tweak (576Mg)? Does it really give something more than just bragging rights?

And, is it possible to make a change to a ROM that does not have this (before flashing it) to enable the more RAM? (and can it be done by someone that is not a chef)

I am ask this because I like to use the Artemis PTG ROM. I like how clean, updated and smooth it is, but I have had some times happen to me that I would get an error when having some programs running in the background and trying to open the camera, that it would not open due to being low on RAM. Many people asked the developer to implement it, but he does not think it is an issue, so I ask if it can be done, and how hard it would be?

Thanks for bearing with me. :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you can't apply it to a rom that has already been cooked.

You need to make the change in the kitchen before pressing 'cook'.

Whilst the extra ram is handy for bragging rights, and ram disks, the regular ram should be easily capable of running the hd2 without maxing out.

Low memory warnings are usually not really connected to the amount of free ram, they are usually more about a program not handling its memory allocation correctly.
[HD2 General] Johev:
Thank you very much for your reply, it was very strait to the point and elucidating. I will update the ROM I am using with the newer version that came out, and hopefully it low RAM warning will be gone.

[Desire Accessories] InsolentMinx:
after my delight with the Brando screen protector on my HTC Touch HD, I've ordered one for my Desire.

Fitment was perfect, and in a year, i didn't get any scratches whatsoever, and the protector looked good as new too!

Use of the touchscreen wasn't impeded either.

I also ordered a Gel 'skin' type case from the Brando site too.

They should be arriving sometime this week.

Until then i was using the felt/velvet 'sock' slip on case that came with my Touch HD..... but at the weekend i found a leather belt-clip type case on a seat whiled getting off an Airplane, (which was a perfect fit) so i've been using that :D
[Desire Accessories] copex:
after trying a number of screen protectors i finally paid the extra and opted for the brando ultra clear. best i have ever used on any phone i have had.

i have even removed it, washed it then replaced it, no bubbles look as it did when it was first applied.

[HD Mini General] wimdows:
Hello fellow hd mini users!

Here's a nice problem four yous to solve.

All of a sudden my bluetooth stopped working. Nothing happens when I try to start it. The error message I get is that the BT stack can not be loaded (0x1).

I did not install any new software after the last time it did work correctly, and I don't have TomTom installed on my hd mini.

(One possibility I am contemplating, is that CleanRam is the culprit, but I ran it before without problems.)

I don't feel much like a hard reset.

Is there a way to repair or reinstall the radio software ( I found a BTstackTP2.cab somewhere, but I would rather not try this because it is designed for the Touch PRo 2.)

Good luck solving this one!

Battery life is still a concern
