My Live View arrived today and I tried to switch it on and it wouldn't switch on, I thought the battery is probably flat so I put it on charge, I couldn't use the supplied charger as it was a European 2 pin charger and I live in the UK and use 3 pin plugs.

I left it for the 2 hours as the manual told me to, but the led was still red. I decided to try and use the charger that came with it using a shaver adapter, but that didn't do the trick either. I also performed a firmware upgrade but didn't seem to make any difference.

Then I unplugged it will wouldn't**switch on. It would only switch on when the charger was plugged on.

The display when the device is switched on shows that the battery is charging, but it seems its not holding a charge.

Is the left button supposed to do anything it seems it can't be pressed.

Apart from sending it back to Amazon is there anything else I can do?

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 to pair with, which pairs quite well.
[General Accessories] Andy Phillips:
Have you paired it to your phone? Mine would turn off in seconds if it was disconnected for any reason (which was all the time!) and it wouldn't turn back on unless it was plugged in.

TBH I gave up on it and bought the SmartWatch....4 days without charge and no disconnects :cool:
[General Accessories] pl8715:
As soon as I unplugged it from the mains it just wouldn't switch on. I even left overnight to see if the live view would go green but it didn't. I can only deduce that I've got a duff unit. I was able to pair it on the mains but as soon as it was unplugged the unit just switched off. The only way it could get it to switch on was if I plugged it to the mains.

I did notice that my unit didn't have the usb cable in the box. I ended up sending it back.

The smart watch 2 looks good, but doubt if I would get it for the same price as the live view.
[General Accessories] ardsar:
I get this issue now and again. Keep pressing and releasing the button. It eventually turns on.

Got my replacement LiveView, but it seems that the Facebook and Twitter notifications don't work. I attempt to log in but says on my phone an error has occurred please try later on my Facebook app, on Twitter it says incorrect account information. Could not log in despite having both the Facebook and Twitter with the correct user names and passwords. The Facebook and Twitter icons don't show up on the Liveview screen.

Has anybody else had this problem?
[General Accessories] vigoos:
Yep. Facebook does not support LiveView now. Get custom notifier and then use it. We need to hopefully get a forum for ourselves. Anyone agree to this?

[General Accessories] pl8715:
I've spotted another possible bug. I've just reflashed my Galaxy Note N7000 with JB 4.1.1, I connected my LiveView which works fine when it's connected if I get a text message it doesn't clear from my phone. I view the message on the LiveView then go to my phone to open the message for it to clear but it doesn't, it stays as if its an unread message. I turned my Liveview off and did a test and it cleared when I opened it on my phone.

PLEASE HELP! I just got my live view and my phones blue tooth does not even see the liveview device when it's attempting to be paried... Any suggestions? I have an HTC One S with viper 2.0
[General Accessories] vigoos:
Okay. First long press power button till two leds blink. Then search. For that go to LiveView app, go to manage LiveView and then search for LiveView finally search for it.

If it doesn't work see if your Rom has Bluetooth problems. Still having problem pm me or mail to me at vigoos@live.com

I got same problem:

Reported by simichan.. [MENTION=652814]gmail[/MENTION].com, Apr 24 (5 days ago)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open openliveview

2. Click Settings and select the LiveView device

3. Push right Button from the LiveView

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

On the status bar on the Phone appears: OpenLiveView LiveView connected.

After showing the pairing-Symbol on the LiveView, it displays 0:00 AM and is not connected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Sony Ericson LiveView with actual Firmware.

Rooted Samsung Galaxy SII with cyanogenmod 10 M3 (Android 4.2.2)

OpenLiveView 1.0.2.2 and 1.0.3.1, both with the same Problem, pairing not possible.

Please provide any additional information below.

With the original LiveView App the pairing is possible.

If i pair it with the original App with the OLV opened in background, i got 2 Messages in the status bar: LiveView "connected" (from the LiveView App) and OpenLiveView "LiveView connected", but on the LiveView is only the original Software

no text and calendar functions for sony liveview mn800

I just got my sony liveview mn800 a week ago and im having issues with the text and calendar functions because when i press the right/select button, an X appears on top of the icon and doesn't open. i cannot also get a notification for new text messages or new calendar events. the weird thing is the other functions(missed call, find phone,camera plug in)works. I'm using Nexus 4 JB 4.2.2 and had updated the liveview to the latest firmware already.I have also tried it with Xperia Z JB 4.2.1 but still same problem. But when I tried it with Xperia GO ICS 4.0 its working fine. Tried to have it replaced but the replacement unit has also same issues. So the store told me that this is a compatibility issue for phone on the latest JB firware and the MN800. If anyone has a solution, i would really appreciate it. thanks.

Newbie with Liveview (& HTC One)

Hi, i recently bought one HTC One and Sony Smartwatch. The combination works well under the Smart-Connect apps but i can never make the Liveview works ... despite the 2 have already paired under Smart-Connect; the Liveview can never pair the phone with the watch.

I have not modifed the HTC One firmware.

Many thanks for the valuable advice.

Its not really an error. From the launch of the device it could not view more than just the incoming text, was the same on my Kyocera Echo and my HTC Evo. Could never scroll through. And the FB issue, I read it has to do with their update from another forum, so I am presuming it is the same issue with the foursquare and the calender. I hear the MN2SW works flawlessly.

plugins won't disable

I recently bought a cheap LiveView and I have installed most of the free plugins available to mess around with them.

However, I am having some trouble disabling them - they simply won't turn off!

I have gone through and disabled every plugin that has an "enable" checkbox (some plugins don't have this, very rude!) but the plugins are still working on the LiveView itself!

My phone is a Galaxy S3 running a custom 4.2.2 ROM. And I updated the LiveView using the Sony updater software.

Any ideas folks?

Hey man, did a search of your posts... after google's search for the Danionics battery part number brought up this thread.

How did your battery upgrade go? It seems like there might be some extra room in the bottom of the liveview for a slightly better better. OR, outside the case in other applications. I'm thinking of adding in an inductive charging loop :)

Would love to see the results of your teardown. Thanks.

LiveView Battery Charging

I just received my LiveView and it has been sitting on the charger for a few hours, but it does not seem to be charging correctly. When it is plugged in and off, the notification light blinks green and red slowly (not the pairing sequence, which is faster blinking). If you turn it on, the charging icon says it is charging, but sometimes the little "lightning bolt" on the battery icon disappears and the low battery notification light starts blinking while it is plugged in. If you unplug it when its on, it shuts off. Please advise, thanks!

Liveview Pair Fix, Without ROOT :)

For thouse who's having disconnection issues with their liveview i found a permanent fix, and you don't need to pair from your phone again and again

Pair once your liveview in bluetooth...

Then download Bluetooth auto connect from PlayStore.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.refluxa.android.bac

and pair your mac address then you're good to go...

Whenever it disconnects press the right button on liveview to auto pair it,

It works, even if after restarting liveview, you don't need ROOT or any liveview charm or anything :)

How update firmware? Sony update no longer supporting

Hi, Anyone successfully update the firmware recently. When I try to use Sony update service that worked a few months ago on a different liveview device (that I laundered, it still worked afterwards for a while) the service has been discontinued and Sony's newer US software no longer supports Liveview. Does someone have a link to foreign sony software that still updates the firmware. Appreciate any suggestions. Problem is losing bluetooth connection despites tricks that previously worked with upgraded firmware (liveview charm and fixer).
