Yesterday, I bought a soft names LiveView Manager which costs 1.95$ on Play store (Android market). If you've rooted your device, you can install this soft and change the configuration of your phone which could help it reconnect to LiveView automatically without warning
[General Accessories] deciocavallo:
yes i've bought it too and i think that is very usefull :)
[General Accessories] spiderman_anhvu:
This morning, I read an article about the support conversation from Sony team. They said that the connection could be improved if you use bluetooth only on your phone. It means that you should turn off the wifi connection (mobile data(3G, HSDPA) still ON) and turn on bluetooth only to make the connection more stable. I did like they said and Oh yeah! I haven't met any disconnection from that moment until now. Everything work as a magic :D Hope this help! :D

Hi!

I would like to buy a SE LiveView, but I have an important question.

If it's once synced with the phone, can it remember, measure and display the correct time?

So, for example, if my phone's battery﻿ is down, can it still measure and display time or it has to have a connection with the phone all the time?

Please answer this as soon as possible, thanks!
[General Accessories] JerryPi:
Yes if your phone dies and the liveview was connected at that time it will still keep and display the time. But if you turn off the watch it will reset the time on it.
[General Accessories] CoffeeCone:
Once you sync it with your phone, it will remember the time, provided that you don't turn the LiveView off. If you turn it off and open it up again, you need to reconnect it with your phone. As for myself, I don't see a need to turn it off though because I use it as an actual watch and the text and call notifications are just a plus (for me at least). So yeah, to answer your question, YES, it will remember the correct time.

I do this 3 steps:

-1º step

-Using Root Explorer, apply the Fivef Process (this seems to be needed only for non-Sense 2.3.x ROMs - looks like Sense in 2.2 builds allows LV to connect without confirmation).

-2º Step

- Find in the market & install the BEST Android program I've seen yet - "AutomateIt!"

- Create the following rule in this program:

-TRIGGER: BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED (LIVEVEW)

-ACTION: START APPLICATION (LIVEVIEW)

Using this incredible program, you can completely control every aspect of your phone's behavior - for example, automatically start PlayerPro and disable WiFi when wired headset is connected, automatically start WiFi when GPS detects that you have entered your home or office (!) and do million other cool things.

-3º Step

-Install liveviewcharm from market:

This application will maintain processes from "liveview app" always on, preventing android system to kill them.The LiveView app needs to put itself in the Notifications bar in order to keep from getting killed when it's in the background.

I think that guide will fix all liveview connection problems with all compatible devices and CM7/MIUI/STOCK.

thanks to Drakosha Old, fivef, ishii.
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
Thanks psycmos,

I use what he told them all already, but still experiencing connection problems due to the closure of the application LiveView due to low memory. Smart RAM Booster app I installed and I added the whitelist LiveView, LiveWare and LiveViewCharm applications, I got better results.

Not think we need to use the AutomateIT application, the task of implementation LiveWare doing well (I tried both).

Smart RAM Booster settings:

- Boost Level: Medium

- Whitelist: LiveView, LiveWare, LiveViewCharm

- Boost automatically: check

- Ram threshold (MB): device ram capacity 1/3 (MB)

Edit: I uninstall the other task killer applications.

Sorry for my bad English.

Fix for Broken Watch Strap Holder

My adapter for the watch strap broke like many others have posted. The two tiny tabs at the bottom of the adapter snapped off. My fix is to use a tiny bit of poster putty (used to hold posters on the wall). I apply a tiny pinch in the two corners where the tabs broke, and it holds great. Have'nt had it pop off yet. I pull it out to recharge and then just pop it right back in.

The small watch module is off of a cheap replica Breitling watch I have. I just wired it onto the strap and now I can see the time quickly, and only have to press the LiveView button when I get an update.
[General Accessories] badfelafel:
terrible

I was so excited about the liveview and it arrived today

Everything is terrible about it

I have had it connect a few times for maybe 30 seconds each

Now it wont connect at all

Updating the firmware (a painful process) didnt help

It wont connect at all now for liveview charm to maintain the connection

Fixer needs me to root phone, nope.

Just a tremendous waste of time - shame.

Going back

that's it disconnected and wont reconnect. I'm thinking its the bluetooth on the htc that's doing it
[General Accessories] krazilogicz:
do you know if this guide is also relevant to CM9 ICS?
[General Accessories] badfelafel:
update

In case anybody is interested I have been using/playing with the liveview and this is what I've found:

Liveview Charm will keep the connection alive for longer, but it still drops every time. If Liveview Charm has been used it messes up the bluetooth controller on my HTC Wildfire and the phone has to be restared

But if I don't use Liveview Charm it still drops the connection after maybe 10-30 minutes, but so far has reconnected easily. And it will reconnect just by pressing the top right button on the liveview, I have not had to get the phone out or mess around with bluetooth.

So today am fairly pleased...

The only thing I actually dislike, because it's bad design, is having to take out the liveview from it's case to charge it! Very bad.
[General Accessories] badfelafel:
but

it dropped at lunchtime and wont reconnect, despite resetting both devices.
[General Accessories] machmandp:
Sorry to say that I have had a few different Bluetooth watches over the years and the liveview is the worst I have had. Not least because of the non existant support from Sony.

I had the liveview just after release and in the approx 18 months only 1 firmware update was released which improved some things and broke others .

It has never worked properly and sony just ignored the problems and now they expect us to buy the smartwatch

I can see that going the same way. If it was any other company I may have some hope but not with Sony

I really hope that the reverse engineering

Is successful as that may be the only way to get the thing to work

When connected its fine but the constant disconnections make it unusable

I now use my old abucus watch again and considering its age its head and shoulders above anything that Sony can produce.
[General Accessories] badfelafel:
wish i knew

I wish I knew what was at the root of this. Got it connected again, had to do a battery pull on the phone, and it's been stable since. I think the watch is fairly OK and the problems are down to the HTC bluetooth controller or android...

Plug ins definitely break the connection though, if I avoid using them it can stay alive longer. Gmail is the exception and integrates nicely without causing issues.
[General Accessories] badfelafel:
liveview "thread"

I have threaded a piece of thread through where the bottom bar for the liveview watch holder should go and stuck it in the casing under the liveview... now i dont need to remove it to charge it! Ridiculous

[General Accessories] GigiAUT:
I can confirm that after downgrading my phone from MIUI 4.x to 2.3.x, I haven't had a single problem. I'm also using the paid all called LiveView Manager from the market. It costs about 1 euro but it polls the liveview every 2 or 5 minutes (you can set that yourself, even up to every 2 hours) and it never loses connection unless I'm out of range. That plus fixing the Bluetooth pairing (might be mentioned a few posts back) gets me about 2 days of usage with absolutely no problem.
[General Accessories] deciocavallo:
Today i've done the firmware update, i did think that my liveview was upgraded but wasn't.

I've downloaded the Sony Ericsson Update Service, selected Liveview, start the liveview in DFU mode, and updated the firmware.

For now the connection is super stable! incredible! Tonight i tested it again.
[General Accessories] tirlibibi:

I was thinking of getting back to GB but I really wanted ICS, so I found a way to make it work and made it into an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crdevs.liveviewguide

It should work at 100% if you also have liveview manager, because lv manager solves connections problems, and mine ICS problems.

I made a guide here on XDA that is has same results than using the app.
[General Accessories] deciocavallo:
I Can confirm that with the last firmware is very stable, the plugins works Great for me

but in LiveView application>manage Plug-ins,it showup No plug-ins installed...

how to solve this problem?

LiveView using on my Neo ICS
[General Accessories] philje123:
I assume you are on ICS.

In which case download Quickshortcutmaker from the market. You can then creat a shortcut to the plugin and launch it and enable it. It will then show in Liveview application.

In terms of notifications. Download CustomNotifierPlugin from market. You can then enable all the apps you want to receive notifications for (including facebook). Gmail doesn't work so then use GmailCheckerPlugin from market for that.

So i have installed an alternative launcher (like Nova, or ADW or Go Launcher) that allows to add to desktop the configurations apps of the Liveview plugins. So i could enable the plugins.
[General Accessories] BobCat78:
finally got to the end of this thread, and it's interesting to see the development etc.

one thing i am very curious about is the distance you can take your LiveView away from your phone before it's out of range. The specs suggest 10m, but I'm guessing it's not even close to that?
[General Accessories] iakovl:
i tried it at 8m and worked fine...
[General Accessories] BobCat78:
oh really!

I have an old HBH 980 SE bluetooth headset, older than the liveview, and it can still stream music through 2 walls (partitions in an office) about 5m away, so i was hoping this could at least do the same

maybe it is worth getting one then for £20

No ICS support...I reckon

I was on ICS and had the same problem. I downgraded again to GB and it work 99% of the time. Maybe I have the occasional problem where it refuses to connect and just displays time, or once in a while (not often. like once a week it happens) I have to open the LV app to connect. But right now, even if I leave the phone somewhere and come back much later, it reconnects on it's own because I hear the phone vibrate when I enter the room again.

From what I know, ICS has a different task managing system and that could be killing off the LV app when it goes into the background. I bought an app that supposedly fixes that, but it's only worked a dream on GB so far. No luck with anything on ICS...so I'm sticking with GB

You can only read the messages you receive while the LiveView is connected or while the Liveview Manager is running in the background.

I don't think there's a single living soul outside of Sony Ericsson that's managed to get the Facebook tile working. The Calendar tile does work, but it only shows something when a reminder pops up in your phone. The Calendar plugin, which is something different, is in the plugins menu. That works too and that will show you all your appointments at any time.

I've never tried or heard of the FourSquare app, but I can assume it's the same as the Facebook app, i.e: won't work no matter what. If you want Facebook or Foursquare notifications, you can always install the CustomNotifier plugin and set up your notifications in that. Works for me.
