this is exactly what I have on my device manager but mine is not recognized by the update service.

which cable are you using for the usb connection ?
[General Accessories] Johnston411:
the micro usb that came with my desire hd.

i've tried leaving the deice selection empty and picking x10 but after rereading what it says when i plug in the liveview it tells me my software is up to date and it is actually a wipe and restore that is being unsuccessful.

the liveview still works though
[General Accessories] wiaza100:
Battery after the update is very good

Two days ago, but still almost fully charged
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
unfortunately I still can't update.

there must be something that I am missing but I can't find what.

any advise ?

- the unit goes into DFU mode successfully (I see DFU on the screen of Liveview)

- I connect it to my PC with a Nokia USB cable

- I have the latestversion of SE Update Service running

- I see SEMC DFU device on my Windows Device Manager

what is wrong ?

which version of Update Service do you have ?
[General Accessories] GUYKES:
i have the same problem help please?????
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
I read in the N1 forums that someone chose the x10 mini and it worked. Anyone confirm?
[General Accessories] wiaza100:
Is there a way to solve the problem of the delay to show the caller's name and the occurrence of vibration for incoming call
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
Just updated with the SE software using x10mini and when I connected it, it read that there was an update. I then updated and of course read "failed" but when trying to update again, it read that I have the updated software. I shut down the LV and restarted it. I then unpaired and then paired and connected the unit and all works again. Seems more responsive and reconnects faster than before. Maybe it's a placebo kinda like I feel like my car feels smoother after an oil change lol...

My only gripe is that the clock/watch doesn't keep the time when disco'd from the phone. Anyone know if the third party apps keep the time if disconnected? I don't think so....any thoughts??
[General Accessories] dazultra2000:
I've updated my LV, re-installed all the apps and re-paired the LV. Done all the task manager/memory management tips that have been mentioned but still it's useless.

Sometimes I can go a couple of hours and it stays connected and all seems to work great, but then it fails and is a nightmare to reconnect (usually have to turn off bluetooth, turn off LV, turn both back on again).

Anyone got any other bright ideas or are we just waiting now?
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
I had it connected for a good two and a half three hours. I think it was my fault it lost connection because I was adding plugins from the mkt. But when I do lose connection, I usually just go to the liveview application and use that to connect. And connects without an issue for me.

Keep in mind I do not have any task killers installed though.
[General Accessories] GUYKES:
X10,x10 mini, x10 mini pro nothing works...
[General Accessories] dazultra2000:
Let's run through it.

1. Install se update service

2. Run se update service

3. Click next

4. Select x10, click next

5. Turn OFF liveview

6. Plug liveview in via micro usb

7. Hold down both buttons on liveview until usb plug and DFT appear on the liveview display.

8. Update service should recognise liveview, click next

9. Install update. It will say it failed.

10. Unplug and reboot liveview by holding power button for 10 seconds.

Try that...
[General Accessories] akhenaton85:
hi guys, can anyone help me? I received the LiveView tonight and I put him in office for the first time, unfortunately the house was also my cousin that I was disconnected from the office, access, reconnected, rekindled and off ... moral of the story hour is running with the LED lit constantly and with an icon in the upper left corner which I think is the clock, but No but there are numbers but rather of the dots. I 've tried to reset but does not turn off ... ideas?
[General Accessories] dazultra2000:
Sorry, either you've translated your text or you've used some dodgy autocorrect because your post doesn't make sense. Office? Cousin? House? Rekindled?

It sounds like you either haven't installed the liveview app on your phone or you've not connected it right...
[General Accessories] Cuchulainn:
I updated the liveview and it holds a connection for a while, however, twice in the last few days it has slowed down the phone so much that I have needed to pull the battery. It really could be a great device, but these really are moronic bugs to have in a piece of shipping hardware.
[General Accessories] nemo20000:
I think the worst aspect is that it (still) requires the LiveView app to be running constantly on the phone.

It is absurd that this thing requires JerryDisplayService, LiveViewService and JerryBTManager services to be running, taking well over 4MB(!), and still can't connect, update or even respond to the device.

Mind you I'm constantly amazed at how much memory EVERYTHING uses in Android.
[General Accessories] Drakosha:
Please look into this post - there's some hope, but it needs a little attention from developers.
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
With the last FW update from SE, openwatch, autostarts, liveview app, and minfreemanager, I have been connected for 4hours straight. Check that, I JUST had to reconnect it by pressing the left tab button on the LV and it reconnected in a jiffy....

So far so good IMO
[General Accessories] akhenaton85:
Yes sorry guys. Now i will explain it better. I've a problem with my liveview... i've received this gift yesterday and when i've turned it on the liveview start pairing with my phone. The battery was low so after a while liveview turn off. When i turn it on now i've black screen and active status bar with battery and a clock --:-- . There is nothing that i can do with it... touchscreen is blocked , right button doesn't work so i can't connect it to my phone. The only thing that work is power button so i can turn it off or i can flash it. I've tried to flash it with SEUS but i've always the black screen. You can find an image in the first post of talksonyericcson support forum.

What can i do?
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
doesn't recognize in my case...

The Windows devicemanager sees it, but SEUS does not.
[General Accessories] deepred86:
Maybe cuz u have to select X10 mini ... just a supposition
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Does anyone know how to edit LiveView Application so it would be able to show more than around 500 characters from LiveView.db ? I managed to find and edit records from that database to manually add "new" events shown on liveview with desired text but it only shows more or less 500 characters. I am convinced that this kind of behavior is saved somewhere in LiveView Application.
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
Maybe the apk itself?
[General Accessories] de_MarK:
It's probably coded in JerryProtocol class. I doubt if someone is able to fully decompile an .apk, to do changes and build it again.
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Thanks, for answer. I was able to extract com.sonyericsson.extras.livevew-1 with root explorer I found in res/layout a lot of jerry_devices, jerry_find etc but I have no idea what to do next (I am curious about this line " fadingEdge="8192" "). If I was able to change number of characters viewed by liveview and merge that with ability to edit SQL liveview databases it would make a great option for inputing and reading long text very easily.
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
I tried many choices without success...

Does anyone have the same problem with me ?
[General Accessories] de_MarK:
What's the purpose of such ability? Why do you want to increase size of a text sent by notification plugins?
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
I don't want to increase the size of notifications, because they are already that big, it is just liveview that is showing only part of it. If You check out "LiveView.db" and there "buffers" You will see that in column "body" there are full emails, etc (that records can be easily edited within the phone). And it would be for many reasons, as far as I know a lot of people are looking for a plugin that would read txt files, and this ability would be a good substitute for that.
[General Accessories] de_MarK:
IMO it would be easier to create a sandbox plugin instead of trying to use notifications. I suppose that every notification has to be send in one "trip" so that's why a text limit exists.
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Hmm, Gmail is a sanbox plugin but still it has text limit, in options there is possibility to change email snippet lenght but it doesn't work at all. That plus the fact that I am not able to create a sanbox plugin is the reason why I am looking into this.
[General Accessories] deepred86:
I did it the first time i received it and it worked, if it's not finding any update maybe it's because it's *already* updated. Btw tried with my Buzz it doesnt work, keep on disconnecting and it doesnt reconnect by itself when coming into its range. .. waiting for a stable release.
[General Accessories] gbil:
FYI there is a new update available and also update service properly displays Liveview as a device option.
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Well I am shocked, it acctualy works fine now and there is difference in bluetooth options that it shows LiveView is "connected" instead "Paired, but not connected"
[General Accessories] gbil:
It works much better for sure, it also passed my 'toilet test' :p . Every time I went to the toilet because of the distance it was losing the connection and then it wouldn't connect. But after the update it connects instantly.
[General Accessories] frankman:
It runs faster now, but the time format has changed from 24h to am/pm.

Is there someone with the same problem?

I think that all plugins are running faster and smoother. Reconnection is better to.

Now i'm hoping i'm getting my 24h time format back soon...

edit:

After reconnect, the time format is in 24h mode again. Thanks.

the best after the update is: Its reconnecting after restart without doing anything!

It's great!

Now let's hope Sony Ericsson ad multitouch to the liveview! ;)
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
did you download a new version of Update Service for this ?
[General Accessories] sergioka:
no, just start the software :)
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
I can see the new option in Update Service software but it still does not recognize my unit.

Anyone else in my condition ?
[General Accessories] ankhazam:
Do You guys use LifeWare Manager or only LiveView Application? :)
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
I am using my old USB cable for Nokia E71.

Would that be fine, or should I use a Sony Ericsson cable ?

I also tried with Samsung Glaxy S cable with no success...
[General Accessories] dr.bahaeddin:
update

hi. i did what updater said me to do. but when the live view gets on the DFU mode there is nothing happening. its waiting. nothing at all. what should i do?
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Only LiveView Application.

While in DFU Mode just disconnect USB cable and reconnect and it should start right away.
[General Accessories] dr.bahaeddin:
i did what u said but still nothing. my SEUS version 2.11.1.9 and when it comes to choose phone menu i see live view option and i choose it. i tried to choose x10 , x10 mini, x10mini pro and x8 still nothing.
[General Accessories] seekay666:
Same here!!

My right button doesint respond to any press... And when i spoke with se support bout uppdating the lv, i do as he say, use the se update prog, klick liveview connect the usb the first press and hold right button and then press and hold left button. When i do this the lv starts to pair and nothing in the update program happends. The guy at se support are saying that i must do something wrong, but i keep explaining to him that the lv´s right button doesint respond to any pressings at all. The guy still insissts that the problem is me.... ! So tomorrow im going to buy another liveview at another store, keep cool or the weekend then on monday return the old liveview claming ghat it was broken at buy....
[General Accessories] rexator:
I downloaded latest SE Update Service from SE webpage (ver.2.11.1.9)

I COULD SEE AND CHOOSE LiveView at device choose menu.

It recognized and updated LV in few seconds.

Now it works as it should.

Looks like SE managed to keep its promise this time!
[General Accessories] rexator:
yes, I downloaded ver.2.11.1.9
[General Accessories] dazultra2000:
I've just installed the official update and it's made no difference to mine. Wouldn't connect first time - had to initiate the connection from the app rather than the device, and within 30 seconds it had disconnected again and wouldn't reconnect.

I think the issue is with the app rather than the device, but it's still useless for me.
[General Accessories] de_MarK:
Same problem with Desire. Even if LV device issues are fixed the LV Application is still buggy and makes reconnections impossible.
[General Accessories] ankhazam:
Same on DHD, imho SE should remove the builtin media player support and move it as a plugin :/
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Just remove form bluetooth settings LiveView, and pair it again, and it should work great.
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
I updated and had the same probs. I actually did unpair and paired it again. I have a question though, would it be wise to uninstall the apps like openwatch, minfreemanager and autostarts and just have the liveview app by it's lonesome?

Not too sure if any or the combo of those apps have any effect on the liveview update.
[General Accessories] frankman:
There is a Liveview app update on the market now. Should be more stabil and supports up to 30 plug ins!

I think its working very fine now!
[General Accessories] dazultra2000:
Haha SonyEricsson must be watching us!

Updating now! Fingers crossed!

(Note, I have completely wiped my phone today to see if that fixed it. It did not. Hopefully this update will!)

EDIT: Nope...still rubbish. Sigh.
[General Accessories] kpjimmy:
Ok after the update, about two hours later, the unit lost connection but hitting the select button connected the LV right up. No resets thus far....
[General Accessories] skitty:
Liveview now works with gingerbread.

Woo!!!
[General Accessories] de_MarK:
My plugins stopped working properly after update. Could someone confirm that a clock in ContactCall / PowerAMP plugins doesn't refresh every minute?

I had the same problem - it is in for repair. for me it stopped working after the device hung.
[General Accessories] mrmrmrmr:
Dr.Bahaeddin,

I have exactlythe same problem with you.

I see that you are from Turkey. I am from Turkey as well.

Maybe we have a common cause of this problem.

Region ? Language settings ?

Where did you purchase it from ?
[General Accessories] dproldan:
For those with problems with the right button. The same thing happened to me a few days after getting the watch, and I can confirm that it's a hardware issue.

I opened the device and found that the switch had two of its four pins not soldered. I've been able to fix it with the right soldering tool, but the watch not easy to open. I'm a STM engineer, IMO when that soldering defect happens, it can affect large batches of a production.
[General Accessories] dr.bahaeddin:

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/pro...viewmicrodisplay?cc=gb&lc=en#layerid=liveview

apps been updated too

will see if it works with gingerbread but not holding my breath
[General Accessories] the_jako:
I updated LV and the App... but now with Gingerbread (Cyanogenmod 7) everytime the LV connects to the phone it ask me to pair it. You know... the sync that only should be done once.

Anyone with the same problem??
[General Accessories] zonyl:
Unfortunately, yes.
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
It happened for left button in mine LiveView, could You give some kind of description how to dissasembly this device? I managed to take off top screen cover and I have no idea what to do next.
[General Accessories] dproldan:
Here are some pictures:

http://adq.livejournal.com/tag/liveview

If you can already see the flat cable for the display, you can use a pin to lift the lock for the other smaller flat cable. Then you should be able to access two small philips screws.

In this pic, the lock is opened:

http://pics.livejournal.com/adq/pic/00023y7d/

Here it's closed:

http://pics.livejournal.com/adq/pic/00027thx/

Closing the watch is a bit more difficult, you should put the small flat cable in, close the lock, put the electronics in and put the screws twisting the top and bottom part of the device slightly. All this without breaking anything else. Not easy, I'm not responsible if you break it!

Soldering the button is easy, push the button against the pcb and apply the tip of a soldering iron to each unsoldered pin for a moment, do this to each pin for a few seconds in turns, until it lays perfectly flat on the surface.

Good luck!
[General Accessories] vinokirk:
Strap Issue

Lets face it, the strap in the box is crap! I really like the watch (and its strap) I was already wearing every day and I wanted to add the liveview to the existing strap. So I took out a few links and slotted the LV (in its little caddy) onto the strap.

As you can see on the last picture there was no place to attach the bottom metal spring bar to the watch strap so I had to tape it on, brown tape was all I had. I also broke one of the metal spring bars on the watch so more brown tape had to be used. I still need to get some spacers for the top metal spring bar as the strap slides along the bar too much.
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
Well it went pretty well untill I lost lock for this little flat cable, do you have any idea what I can do now to make it work fine?
[General Accessories] dproldan:
The lock is only pushing the cable against the contacts under it. Try to cut a piece of plastic foil, the same size as the cable tip, put it on top of the cable and push them together into the conector. HTH
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
I found this lock, but it was broken and I had to use some duct tape to hold it together.I had some adventures with this fixing because I accidentaly torn wires from both physical buttons, soldering didn't go as smooth as I thought, it took couple of times to finaly get it done and just to be sure I used a little bit of duct tape to make additional pressure to this buttons so they would not fall off again.In the end I lost this damn lock. It took me a lot of time and nerves (There were points when I thought it was beyond repair and I just wanted to throw it out) but I finally got it working:D
[General Accessories] scorpion_s66:
I have to admit that after the LV update firmware battery life is change like a charm, it's second day of using the LV after update and only 50% of full charge is gone , wow i can't believe it,

but drop connection on my N1 2.2.2 still happen
[General Accessories] renolle:
Its an issue with the bluetooth implementation in the phone.
[General Accessories] Cuchulainn:
I'm not impressed with the liveview application update. Since I installed it on Friday I have used the liveview for about 6 hours and it has lpocked up the phone requiring me to pop the battery out 3 times!
[General Accessories] LockeOn:
After my LiveView repair it was working fine for a day, and now it hangs after Sony Ericsson logo, showing just battery indicator and little clock indicator in upper corners. Does anyone have any idea how to fix that? Would it be hardware or firmwre fault?
[General Accessories] Neris:
I use my LiveView since tuesday, first thing after getting is was installing the update.

I just love it, very few connection losses, with some PlugIns everything is working like I want it.

Oh, I use a Samsung Galaxy S, Android 2.2.1
[General Accessories] navodwickra:
same here :(
[General Accessories] zipr0:
LiveView + Nexus S = no go :-(

Unfortunately, the Liveview apparently doesn't really work with the Nexus S. While the bluetooth connection is relatively stable, the pairing process isn't working right. Each time the LV wants to reconnect, the NXS prompts the user with a bluetooth pairing request - it doesn't connect automatically. I have to click "ok" each time the LV reconnects -> not funny.
[General Accessories] hibiskus:
after update I didnt have to reset LV anymore, and it is really much improved with connecting and reconnecting now. Have 2.1 X10
[General Accessories] ElmarK:
I still have issues after the update. No automatic recollect, I always have to initiate it from the phone. Sometimes the icons in the plugin area are exchanged (e.g. digital clock has the icon of the music player).

My phone is DHD with the Christmas HTC update.
[General Accessories] dazultra2000:
The Desire HD definately seems to be one of the more problematic devices - which sucks :/

Mine is still useless. It has occasional bouts of solid working, but as soon as I put my phone in my pocket, which in reality is about 2 feet away from the LV most of the time, the connection drops and I have to restart the LV and bluetooth on my phone for it to work again, and even then it's only about a 25% chance I'll actually get a connection.

Replacing battery

Does anyone know if I can replace the original 80mAh 3.7v battery with a 250mAh 3.7v removed from an old mp4 player?

Ty
[General Accessories] punshkin:
If you can fit that battery in there... is it the same size or do you plan to extend the cover???

Since its the same voltage i dont see a problem but i am no expert so i'd suggest to wait for a more qualified comment
[General Accessories] gfranzoi:
No way I can make any other battery fit there, the one that comes with it it's way too small and it lasts no more than 4 hours idle :/. I'll make a small battery case on the wrist strap and just take the wiring inside.

I agree with the voltage logic, but I'm a little afraid to do it. I'll wait till tomorrow, if no one comment against it, I'll do it.

Thanks
[General Accessories] gfranzoi:
Done replacing the battery, works like a charm. I'll give it a full charge now and test the performance in the following days.
[General Accessories] killawatts:
I have the same issue. Really bugs me! If only there was a way to "whitelist" the bluetooth device based on MAC id. If not for one this one gripe I'd be totally happy with the devices performance. I'm running CM7 on my HTC Desire, and have updated the LiveView to the latest firmware.
[General Accessories] jorge934:
That's very good... my LiveView lasts 1 day connected and 1 week disconnected (like a normal watch). This way getting from a 80mAh to lets say... a 560mAh would be awsome cuz I wouldn't mind a weekly recharg.

Do you think I can achieve that by making a wrist baterry and connection it to the watch via Micro-usb? thus... costantly recharging the watch?
