Does it work with LG Optimus 3D (p920)??
[General Accessories] kaze00:
Better late than never, but...

The messaging app is not always running. Android will run an app when needed to for th purpose of delivering SMS messages.

The home app is kicked out of memory quite a bit. So it's not even close to always running.

I'm looking to buy one of these soon. Is there an app that lets you view all notifications no matter what they are?

New owner here, with 2nd gen device!

LV works quite well, apart from the music control plugin. Which is why I bought it. :( It is unresponsive, freezes frequently, the disconnect issue is horrible, and the battery is eaten alive in a couple of hours max.

Yes, that is with a "sleeping" device, with the 0 4 fix, and on a SGS with CM7.

The text / call vibration reminder works well, and so did the twitter, the latter I disabled, as you only get alterted the first time for any type, and there is only one type of vibration alert for all events.

So, for a watch and a "hey, you got an SMS" gadget, it works perfectly (so far). For anything else, don't bother.
[General Accessories] punshkin:
Can someone tell me the difference between 1st and 2nd Gen devices?
[General Accessories] nagi603:
AFAIK...

The second gen comes with a new watch strap that has a solid back, as opposed to the first gen, which had a hollow one. The old had problem keeping the LiveView attached to it, people had to resort to taping it or using velcro to keep the device in place. Oh, and it also comes with a (now obsolete) upgraded fimrware.

(I have a second gen one.)

any atrix wif custom rom owner tried pair wif liveview?i tried pair wif it on a phone shop,but it keeps dc.izzit maybe the liveview did not update yet?or it just not compatible wif atrix?
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
Folks, after stopped/restarted BT processes described here, added liveview into ignore lisk in my task killer and set minfree to mild setup - my LV works better and closer as expected.

BTW, I´ve tried yesterday to change my BT keys to 0 4 (instead of -1 and other) and all my BTs paired, including LV, crashed. Permissions were fine, double checked. So, I guess this solution doen´t work for everybody.

I´m using a X10a stock 2.3.3 GB.

Thanks a lot!
[General Accessories] krtarnold:
Where exactly did you get your second gen? I do not really have the extra money for one of these but if I can find one for 40 or 50 bucks I might get it.
[General Accessories] avatar_43:
Not really an issue. but anyone know where I can get the new strap?

managed to get my LV working fine with my SGS just the bugger keeps falling out.
[General Accessories] punshkin:
It's only 29€ on Amazon Germany
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
I saw it for selling more cheap then I paid at eBay at DealExtreme shop, free shipping.
[General Accessories] MichaelAmrs:
Well,In terms of battery life, the LiveView tended to last for a day for us, so it's best to charge it up every night. In fact, you'll have to make sure your phone's juiced up for the day as well -- you don't want to end up with a dead phone and accidentally resetting your LiveView thus ending up with a non-functional watch...
[General Accessories] wolfgr:
my lv worked fine till today.I cant shut it off.....its not stuck,its working fine (connecting,etc) but i think that the power button not working.Any idea?
[General Accessories] timspb:
I think this is easily fixed by editing the /system/build.prop

if we have not such line, we need to add this:

# apps to be kept in memory (specified by process name)

# use with caution, RAM is limited!

sys.keep_app_1=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveview.launch

and then we must to restore the premissions of build.prop

and the system not stop this app due to low memory. :)

P.S. Sorry for my english :D
[General Accessories] monkeydrufy:
Ok guys,

new issue here, nexus s and nsclollab (based on cyanogen 7)

[General Accessories] TracerBullitt:
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that's the "gen1" version though, with the open-back wrist strap holder... Is there anyway to tell if this is the case or not?

I feel most places selling this (Amazon, Ebay) are simply copying and pasting images rather than posting new ones. DealExtreme's offering has images that show its the "gen2" version though. Right now, I'm thinking this is might be the best bet...

Where else have people been getting their second gen LVs, and how much?
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
Why my MINFREE Manager it doesn´t keep the secondary serverat 8 or 10 value?

My phone is rooted, I set Apply & Apply at boot and it doesn´t work anyway. #weird

Second, phone keeps reconnecting and bluetooth status remains "paired, not connected" and everytime I need to manually connect it.

I´m using stock 2.3.3 GB, and I would really appreciate if somebody shed some light into this questions for me.

Dumb question here, folks:

Should I edit my build.prop only with the line below and afterwards correct the permissions to

and then boot - or I should enter the ammount of RAM to be reserved somewhere?

But now my biggest problem is it doesn't show me sms notification. And this was the main reason i bought it. So can some one help me pls here.

Hi folks!

I have a problem after the bluetooth fix suggested some page ago.

I've copied the file linkkeys to the sd with root explorer, edited to 0 4 with "Open in Text Editor" feature in root explorer, then copied back to the data/misc/bluetoothd/randomnumber then i opened the file and its' completely empty. Also if i try to pair the liveview again it ask for the code but no pair.

Also i checked the file and its' always empty, i also tried to write manually, save & exit, reopen and the file it's still blank. I've tried to mount the partition as R/W but nothing changed.

Where is the problem?

Edit: after some trying the bluetooth its working again enabling all the read/write/exec permission on the file linkkeys.

Anyway i cant starting the pairing automatically, in linkkeys i see randomnumber 4 -1 o I changed to randomnumer 4 0, doing so the liveview can pair but always after i accept the prompt in the Desire asking if i want to pair, WHY it dont do automatically Y_Y

Im on the latest MIUI XJ

LiveView Manager

Hi guys, I have found this app on the market LiveView Manager. Unfortunately it is a paid app but it is very good. It uses the xda bluetooth fix (if you have root) and make the liveview connection more stable (even more than automate it trick) because it periodically checks LiveView Service. Five stars for me.

Cheers
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
Exactly the same problem here, I´m certainly will give a try to Matroska´s hint reg. LiveView Manager at Market.
[General Accessories] matroska:
LiveView Manager app improves for sure but not fix the problem completely. Now it is usable though. It is for sure better than AutomateIt solution, and the app manages the linkkeys fix automatically. I think it is worthy. By the way I think the main problem is the firmware. If it were reliable, it would be a great gadget, especially now that is quite cheap.

Matroska
[General Accessories] Dashie84:
Sure with liveview manager it's better than before but keeping disconnecting so it's not useful for the call when the phone it's in silence mode Y_Y
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
Just wondering here why SE just abandon such good Projects like X1 (stucked at Windows in older version), X10 after a long long negotiation received GB and finaly, LiveView - pure gold, with just one fw updated in 2011 and many many "homemade" (and some good ones, certainly!) apps at market.

The best one IMO, SportyPal, they developed some time and money, I guess only to make the ad video. Just it.

Unbelievable...
[General Accessories] khakhi:
Unbeleivable indeed
[General Accessories] matroska:
I would like to have the source code of LiveView application in order to integrate at least the features that LiveView Manager seems to have (notifications and better connection checks). I would like to have also the source code of the firmware of LiveView. It is a great product and now the price is the right one but it is not always reliable and this makes me a not so happy consumer.
[General Accessories] khakhi:
Sony ericsson dont realise that ppl will actually flock to buy the product if they just put a bit of an effort into it
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
Isn´t there the APK developer kit available?

I guess there is something around, because I don´t remember exactly where - but I saw some different stuff developed, even here at xda.

I believe only native apps supports LV - such as music player (which scrolls the music title at the display), sms, gmail notification and so on.

Third party apps certainly had a different software structure.
[General Accessories] willfck4beer:
It's working amazingly on Myn Warm nightly ... worked even better on MIUI aosp... likely due to HTC messing with the BT stack.?

But still very very good on sense.

SMS, Gmail, facebook, rss, caller id, plugins all working - haven't yet figured out how to have the stock mail program announce to the liveview - but I figure the K9 plugin is a generic announcement gateway? and so this should be easy enough?

Can't get the weather app to work.

Everything else works amazingly on evo3d and evo4g!

Hi,

I have X10 mini pro with CM7.1.0 Gintonic.SE Rom and I'm not able to use my LiveView.

I followed all the tricks in this forum and I managed to get some improvments but not good improvments. So I'm able to re-sync without the password, but only if the request is coming from LiveView aplication.

If I use the LiveView right button to re-sync nothing happens. What should I do to have this working again?

Edit: Found something that resolved this issue, it's very strange but it worked :S

"Hook it up to your PC via USB and stick it in DFU mode (from off, hold both the hardware buttons until the USB logo and "DFU" appear on screen). Let it try and find drivers (it won't) and that's it. Hold the power button for about 10 secs until it shuts down and unplug again."
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
I´ve bought LV Manager too, but to be honest, there´s no improvement detected so far: disconnections stills happens often.

Polling frequency rounds on 2min and surprise (oh boy...) there´s one more icon in my taskbar. :-/

What's that app? Does anybody know or can translate? Seems to do something with the killed LV services

※Sony Ericsson LiveView MN800用アプリです。

LiveViewのBluetooth接続をアプリ的に切断されにくくする目的のアプリです。他のBluetooth機器に比べてLiveViewだけ極端に接続が切れやすい場合にお役に立てるかも知れません。

「Start」ボタンを押すとタスクバーに常駐し、LiveViewのBluetooth接続を「アプリ的に」守ろうと努力します。無線的に切れる場合は無意味です。

The application for the ※ Sony Ericsson LiveView MN800.

The application for the purpose of application are less likely to cut the Bluetooth connection LiveView. May be easy to serve you if you just LiveView extremely disconnected compared to other Bluetooth devices.

"Start" button resides on the taskbar, the Bluetooth connection LiveView "application to" strive to protect. If the radio does not make sense to cut
[General Accessories] haro138:
I just downloaded the app you mentioned. I guess it protects the liveview from dissconecting? Not 100% sure but I downloaded it regardless. I'm running it with liveview manager. I downloaded it turned it on and now it says its "protecting". Lets see if it has a positive result. I'll post again once I've been running the app for a while.

Let´s cross our fingers and mentalize for this new update, to be the #1 goal of LiveView and finally, stop this disconnection issue and make it even better, faster and reliable!
[General Accessories] SGT_Watkins:
I agree, although I can't even begin the update until I can power my LiveView down, is that a known issue, the power button not working?
[General Accessories] Bushrod:
I just got mine for Christmas and updated it then so I've been running this for 5 days. I get disconnected once in a while. I've had to use the Minfreemanager and AutoupdateIt tricks to keep it connected and working.

I just installed the LiveViewCharm app, so we'll see how well it works.
[General Accessories] Kamui_:
Keep it pressed for 5-8 secs. For me guys last update and the paid liveview manager is the perfect combination. All work great. No DCs except if I go out of range and then come back, then the LV doesn't want to reconnect.
[General Accessories] Bushrod:
I disabled LiveViewCharm. It seemed to slow the phone down way too much. Any one else?
[General Accessories] haro138:
Yeah the LiveViewCharm app just killed my battery faster. Didn't disconnect any less. Matter of fact that in conjunction with liveview manager seems to make the liveview not want to connect.

And as far as that update goes I tried to install it and when I connected the Liveview it said that I was already running the most current firmware.
[General Accessories] tj80:
I wish it were true, but I'm pretty sure there's no new update. The download on the SE website is identical to the one I downloaded 3 weeks ago, and is shown on the website as version 2.11.12.5. Strangely, though, when I run the installed Update Service it says version 2.12.1.13! Either way, it says the current firmware is the most up to date on the device.

Herny66 - Have you got this installed and has it made any difference? What leads you to believe it's a new update?

Thanks,

Tim
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
SGT, try to turn it off (sometimes its i little bit weird to do it, you gotta press the button after the screen is on and then, leave the button pressed for a while), then you open the SEUS soft and plug the cable into the pc, forward all the instructions and then last, plug the cable into your LiveView and then finally press left 1st + right 2nd and hold it pressed until SEUS says to release them.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

TJ, (I read your post, but just checking in) at least you went until the screen reports you that there´s no updates available for your LV?

Mine is 2.12.1.13 either (and sony´s website reports 2.11.12.5 available, and when I try to install it, I can do it - but version remains the old one .13), but fortunately, update comes and my LV is up-to-date now.
[General Accessories] SGT_Watkins:
Well, I read somewhere to just let the battery die then plug in the cable, do a full charge and try the Left+Right button with the update, nothing. I can not get the LiveView to turn on at all.
[General Accessories] tj80:
Yep, it connects to the Liveview and says the firmware is the latest. It does give the option of reinstalling anyway though so maybe I'll try that. Any way of verifying the firmware version installed on the device?

Cheers,

Tim
[General Accessories] Bushrod:
I'm pretty sure 2.12.1.13 is just the version of the update software and has no relation to the version of the LiveView firmware.
[General Accessories] Aekio:
Is it just my unit or every liveview has the yellowish screen? Mine is so yellow that I can really tell the different with the normal color screen.

I've checked youtube videos but those seem to be normal. Can anyone please check your LiveView screen for me just to make sure that my device is normal or it is needed to claim.

Thank you very much.

PS. Here in Thailand, LiveView is a premium free gift to whoever buys Sony Ericsson Active. However, my unit is pairing with Xperia Play.
[General Accessories] Myzhar:
You are right :)

However this evening I connected my Liveview after updating SE Update Service software and I received a new LiveView Firmware.

I do not know if it is old or not, it's been a while since I have not tried to update it, but now, using ICS Official Google Music Player (on Galaxy Tab) I can see track information using Music Control.

I'm testing now the connection stability... I need a few days ;)
[General Accessories] rodmartin:
SGT,

I suggest you to fully charge your LV before try to install any update.

I believe if you can´t turn on/off using the button, it is hardware problem certainly.

If you CAN, then just folllow the steps told and you´re on the way :)
[General Accessories] Kamui_:
Read it somewhere else before...this is a usual problem with some of the OLED screens SE used. The guy with the same prob took a replacement.
