WOW! I feel like I just had a conversation with a wall! Checked this out, this is the chat transcript from the conversation I just had with a Sony Ericsson chat support specialist, I was trying to find out how to download the SDK for the LiveView. LOL

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You are currently in position number 1 in the queue.

You have now been connected to an agent.

Aimee watson: Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Chat Support. My name is Aimee, how can I help you today?

Daniel: Hello Aimee

Daniel: I'm trying to find the SDK for the new LiveView accessory for Android

Aimee watson: Hi Daniel, I just read your question regarding the LiveView accessory.

Aimee watson: You can download the SDK from the Android Market.

Aimee watson: You will need to do a search for 'LiveView TM'.

Daniel: the SDK (Software Development Kit) should not be in the Android Market as it will need to be installed on a desktop PC to write software/plugins for the LiveView... desktop PC's cannot download stuff in the Android Market

Aimee watson: There is also another application you can download from there called Liveware to add compatible applications to the accessory.

Aimee watson: In the UK, it is not possible to do this on a PC.

Aimee watson: It is only possible to do this on the handset itself.

Aimee watson: Which is by using applications available in the Android Market.

Daniel: ok. so developers can write to apps for the LiveView directly from the Android Phone itself?

Daniel: thats a new concept i'm not familiar with

Aimee watson: If developers are wishing to create an application to use with the LiveView accessory, it would need to be uploading within the Android Market.

Aimee watson: You can then use Liveware to load this to the accessory.

Daniel: yes, but I am a developer wishing to write software FOR the liveview, how would I do this?

Aimee watson: You would need to contact the developers team.

Aimee watson: Would you like an Email address for them?

Daniel: I would need an SDK that contains the core API's that the LiveView uses. Sony Ericsson is suppose to be releasing this SDK for developers and I have not been able to locate it. Yes that would be great

Aimee watson: Here you go: devsupport@sonyericsson.com

Aimee watson: If you drop them an email, they should be able to help you further with this.

Daniel: perfect, thanks for your help

Aimee watson: No problem. I hope you get that sorted.

Aimee watson: Is there anything else I can help with at all?

Daniel: Nope that will be all.

Looks like you can push "any key" to show the display. That shouldn't be too much of a problem in my situation. I wonder if that includes the soft directional buttons surrounding the screen?

Like you said, it is hard to tell how the experience will be until we get our hands on one for ourselves. I'm hoping for mine to be shipped today, too. But it might ship Monday. I usually get stuff in about 5 days from the UK.

You may want to get in touch with Paul @ MoDaCo in regards to development. I hear he's already looking into making some apps for the LiveView.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
Mine just shipped via Royal Mail. Waiting for updated tracking information! :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Mine shipped today as well. Tracking says "We have received your item, posted on 12/11/10 and it is being processed for delivery abroad."
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] osupra:
it works w/ the g2?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Works with any android 2.0 or higher device

Always hated the way watches felt on my wrist... cool item though for people who wear watches still.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Yeah, I've never really worn a watch much. But I'm a sucker for gadgets. I remember back in the day, late 90's or early 2k I had this pager/sms watch. It was awsome tech for the time lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] k0sun7eash3d:
I can't wait. Just ordered mine. I'm actually really curious to see what plug-ins developers will come out with.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] FC1032:
:p yea the only reason why i never wore a watch was because i had the habit of looking at my phone (even if i had a watch on)

So hopefully, since this liveview thing doubles as a notifier and the lot, i would start wearing a watch :)

LOL, I just had the thought of people cheating in exams with these!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Areafift1:
Hey guys and gals. Anyone care to share a link to one of the retailers that will ship to the U.S.? I'm excited to get my hands on one of these.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
http://www.superetrader.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?cPath=All+Categories&keywords1=liveview

They have a special MoDaCo edition LiveView for £48.97 (£11.01 cheaper than the normal one!). This is where I ordered mine and they ship to the U.S. Came out to $108 US dollars after international shipping.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] danbec:
Got it, not blown away for the moment

For those who're considering this. Just got mine today in Paris (from Phonehouse.fr in France).

- I'm on a HTC Desire

- there are 2 apps to be downloaded from the Android store: LiveWare manager (this seems to manage the connection and the plugins) and LiveView (the actual tool to manage the device).

- the pairing was immediate but not the connection, and somehow I got to it after random manipulations.

- I've tested notifications from phone to device: it works for calls & SMS. (I did not setup Facebook and Twitter as I totally don't see the point of getting buzzed every 10 seconds...). The vibration is very light and short, I don't think I'll ever sense it on my wrist. Wish it could be configurable.

- However all actions from device to Phone do not seem to work, or they even make LiveView hang. This concerns the music player controls (not working), and some way where from the device you should be able to display the lost calls list on the phone display (but as I said - it hangs the LiveView manager).

By the way... there are only 2 additional plugins: one is a Sony Ericsson new product notification app (useless) and one from SportyPal Pro, a training tool.

Basically so far it's just useful to see lost calls and read SMS without pulling out the phone. And as a watch.

If anyone out there wants to code something useful, I'd like:

- a plugin that displays 4 different timezones on my LiveView watch at once.

- a low battery alert (meaning the phone battery).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Thanks for the mini review! My LiveView should be arriving any day now. (Seattle, WA USA). How does the build quality feel? Do you happen to know if it's water resistant?

I emailed Sony Ericsson about the SDK for the LiveView and got a this response lastnight:

Hi Daniel,

The SDK will be published within two weeks so you will be able to download it on our website.

BR

Najat

So hopefully we can start coding some plugins very soon!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
That'll be nice to get the SDK. I think if we want any good plugins, we'll have to make them ourselves. This is not going to be a very popular gadget.

I'm just psyched to get a new watch. The fact that it has some functions that work with my phone is just a bonus!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Dj_Frost:
Can you see incoming calls and mute the phone ringer as it advertises?

Oh and calendar, can you see the entries you've put into that?

If you find any other things that work straight off the bat let us know! :)

Aside from price is there any difference? thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Not sure if there is any difference aside from the price. I have not received mine yet (should be here any day though).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Received my LiveView this morning! It is charging now now. I will be playing with it soon and will come back with a review in a day or two.

But for now, a few observations upon arrival:

1. The US Postal service sucks. First they routed my package to the wrong city and then once it arrived, the LiveView box was completely crushed. I'm surprised the unit itself wasn't damaged!

2. The charger will not work unless you have a European adapter (it is a european style outlet plug). However, the LiveView uses a standard micro-usb charger so not really a big deal. I have a few of those.

3. Removing the clip from the device to attach the wrist strap was a bit tricky. The entire back bezel removes from the device, not just the metal clip. I will update with pictures later.

EDIT: Been using the LiveView for several hours now and wanted to post some findings.. Its not looking good. I'm having major connectivity issues with the LiveView connecting to my G2. It seems to disconnect everytime I try to do anything (check messages, facebook, missed calls, or even just turn on the screen and change screens on the liveview). This also does NOT seem to be an issues that only I'm having. I did some searching and came across several forums with people having the same issue with different phones.

MY ADVISE: If you haven't purchased one yet, wait until Sony Ericsson fixes this issue. The thing is almost unusable. The clock function doesn't even work without first being paired to a phone.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] reukiodo:
Actually, the Sony MBW series is quite old. I've had the MBW-150 for a while, and used the Windows Mobile and Android variants of OpenWatch.

While it does work as advertised, I went from a watch that would last 5 years on a tiny battery to this giant watch which can last a month if bluetooth is disabled. It lasts only 1 day if I have bluetooth enabled and used as advertised. At least it's a rechargable battery...

The LiveView interested me until I read this thread. I'm tired of having to recharge my phone every day - my nokia lasted a month, my RAZR lasted a week, my G2 doesn't even last a whole day.

I'm willing to sacrifice battery life for more power and features... up to a certain point. A powerful and featureful device is only as useful as the life of its battery. I wish more manufacturers would be aware of this.

I believe a phone should last at least 24 hours of constant use and a watch should last a month of constant use.

I read the recommendation against the LiveView. This is my recommendation against the MBW series as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
I should've just went with that basic caller-id watch. It looks nicer, is half the price, and does exactly what I want it to do: show the time, and give occasional notifications via bluetooth. If Sony comes up with an update to allow you to disconnect the LiveView, but still keep and show accurate time/date info, that might make a difference for me. As it is right now, this thing is going to do nothing but collect dust.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] xjlx659:
What a bummer. It had such a great potential.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Namzaj:
(I should learn to read the fora BEFORE buying stuff)

Received my Liveview today and tested on both HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy Tab. Both have connectivity and performance issues, the SGT comes to a full freeze with the Liveview app.

I just read the SonyEricson website and found out SE is investigating the issues AND CHANGED the compatibility page:

I do not read anything about SE going to fix this for other brand phones.

My recommendation for now: DO NOT BUY, it does not work and judging by SE statement, they don't feel responsible.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
I hate to say it man, but throw it up on E-Bay. That's what I did with mine.

The auction still has 4 days to go about its up to $80.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Gadgety:
I use my MBW-150 with WinMo. The watch battery lasts over a week without recharge in my usage scenario (most frequently using it to control the music player).
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jay_jay_n:
Which galaxy tab are you running so it definitely doesn't work? I've been looking for a great Bluetooth watch and this seers great but now just depressing does it work at all on the tab? Missed calls or texts at all?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
Thanks for the tip. I'll do that! I haven't used ebay forever. I've so much success with craigslist the last couple of years. The LiveView has a pretty limited audience, though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Yeah I hear that. I mostly use Craigslist these days as well. However, I put it up on Ebay to get it out there to more buyers, as like you said, the LiveView has a pretty limited audience.

Mine just sold on Ebay lastnight, final bid was $91.00
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] huntman21014:
Would you be willing to sell it to me? If so how much would you want for it?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tankmorph:
LiveView...for sale...bargain basement price!!

I got it for about $100 shipped from the UK. I still have the original packaging, and I will include a US adapter for the power plug.

With that said, I'll take a loss on it and do $75 shipped. PM me your address and I'll give you my email address so you can pay through paypal if you want.

Let me know...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] MacaronyMax:

If you had the old version of the YouTube app, you wont find it on the market. The new one is slightly different but maintains the same functionality. It'll say Google as the developer.

I'm fairly sure it's only available if you have 2.2.

Yes, i'm rooted

I got android 2.1 (x10 mini pro), does that mean that I cant install it again?
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
It should still come up. Google made it modular like Gmail so that different versions of Android could run it. For now you can play Youtube videos from the youtube mobile website. Those will play with the Android's built-in video player.

I simple way to unFinnish your phone settings and revert back to original kit

[without going back to 1.6]

0: Back up phone

1: Uninstall SE Companion

[I guess you might be able just to delete data in appdata folder, but uninstall is safer]

2: Reinstall SE Companion

3: Push old (1.6 version of your own kit worked for me, if you saved it that is) build.prop to system folder using "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system" command if necessary to get Write ability, see [ thread id t=740338 ] .

Otherwise just edit the build.prop to correct kit number (it should work)

4: In SE companion Click more in support zone and then click repair

5: SE companion should download the files necessary and then update your phone to the proper kit

6: Magic you are back to your own kit with proper keyboard settings and 2.1 (Ah, YuS - your kit needs to have the update of course)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
So basically all you have to do is revert your /system/build.prop to it original version and restart, right?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] m0d:
Repair - YuS.

But, you have to uninstall and reinstall SE Companion.

Because, if not it has the other 2.1 settings already saved in a folder (I am not sure which one exactly).

Uninstalling and reinstalling it forces it to download the 2.1 ("repair") version that is specified in the pushed build.prop

Hello XDAders, Sup!

First, Sorry for my english its not perfect *BEWARE*:cool:

Second, the theme of this post its about an App that allows Messaging Between Phones of Different OS(Android, WM, Symbian[OPTIONAL], BlackberryOS, iOS[OPTIONAL], OtherSmartPhoneOS's[OPTIONAL]) with the appearance and functions of the Rim Messaging Platform, Blackberry Messenger.

The options that i found where:

Whatsapp

Pingchat

Cnectd

pMessenger

Which of those will accomplish the task better???

The things that i think the messaging app must have:

*Push Notifications

*Always Be On, meaning even if you close the app u will receive messages from your contacts(like Blackberry Messenger)

*Be able to send text, Voice Notes(not more than 2 minutes), Photos and Any type of files[

OPTIONAL

]

*An Check mark That indicates if message its sent, delivered and readed(like Blackberry Messenger)[

OPTIONAL

]

NOTE: If you know any other apps that accomplish those requirements, say it! Will be thank'ed

pingchat is the closest to a blackberry messenger clone. None of them are very good at group chat, but they're all "working on it"

Kik Messenger could work :)

It's a new app so not perfect yet, but I think this could be the one you're looking for.

Since I'm not allowed to post outside links on the forum you can search for "kik messenger" to get a description

That's my question. Do you think that our S200 will have a new rom? It makes me sad to think that such a great phone, only a year old, will be death with WM 6.5 because there'll no be any software development any more...

I'd my hopes on Android, but it looks like it's going nowhere... I've recently installed the NFS Shift, and that made me think of what our phone is capable of.

What do you think?
[neoTouch S200 General] Axel85:
This question has just been answered...Maybe there will be in the future but it s almost impossible in our device,maybe in hd2 since is a phone with more comunity support.For the future i wish our phone could run android,wm 6.5 is dead and wp7 will dead in 1 year at leas for me since i belive there will be no support from comunity and software maker (wp7 havee many restrictions).Yes when you try games like nfs you realize how powerfull is the device but the software maker prefer to develop games for iphone for the money they turn back...They give us only ****ty 2d games impossible to play on touch screen device...Look at fifa 10 for windows mobile and iphone,the first look a mega drive game,the second a psx one

Ok, so this is a big problem for me. I recently got a new evo (little bro broke screen, so i got a replacement) and i instantly tried to root it. I am on hardware 0003 with hboot .79 running version 1.47. As you can see, I have gotten to 2.1 successfully. I started at 3.29 so this was pretty easy.

But now I have a huge problem. My hboot won't let me flash the pc.zips. I name them correctly, and it loads the zip, and even checks it, but just dumps me back at the menu with no error warning or anything. This is a really big problem. I can't even get back to froyo now.

So I downgraded to hb .79 software 1.47 using the rage against the cage and flashing misc method before the pc.zip. This took a few tries for the zip to update as well.

Then i used the flash exploit to try to root eclair. Everything went great. But my pc goes to checking, and then dumps me back at the menu.

Plz help me

Did you make sure you have plenty of space on your SD card and that you still have S=OFF? I would also try the eng bootloader (.76) since it comes with S=OFF by default
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
I do have space, but I don't have s-off. I have just run the flash exploit though, so I think that gives me a chance to flash the eng build and then turn s-off. Correct me if I am wrong. I am just trying to root. Again, s is still on
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
The flash exploit still works? I figured they would have fixed that by now, thats a pretty big security hole lol

ya, if you can get the # root prompt you should be able to flash the mtd-eng and then Toast's pc36img. Once you have root his part 2 guide should tell you how to do everything.

Edit: ignore that about the flash exploit, I forgot you said you downgraded lol
