I beg to differ. I thought so on first glance, but having looked at all the developer resources, the watch is still a dumb terminal, meaning that you still have to push screens to the watch and receive notifications.

On the plus side, the new menu is nicer and the touch screen has 9 sections not 4. But that doesn't warrant the price hike. Except if the new killer feature is: "it works out of the box" !

What's "new" is the new unified android app to manage several accessories. Also, I have just bought an MW600 headset that looks exactly the same (as the new "Smart" bluetooth handset), the only difference being that on the old version, all text on the device work only if you had an SE phone.

Sony, you can't hate them enough.

I tried a method that, yes, this rom (Dell Streak 5 "on the device using DSC Prerelease 0.7 v2 (Gingerbread 2.3.3) rom to have this directory;

Thank you, I am still unaware of the application of (Dell Streak 5") drakosha method LiveWare latest version of the one used to, going to try.

My device Samsung Vibrant T-Mobile U.S. (T-959) "ICS 4.0.3 Passion 10.6 Beta" rom on using. I installed Market the latest version "Liveview Application" and "LiveWare" applications never had a connecting problem but the plugins not working practices. Used with MW600 music functions no problem.

Sorry for my English.
[General Accessories] Bushrod:
Now I'm really pissed. I had to pry it out of the watch holder and now it won't turn on or charge. I think I dislodged the battery or something. Fark! No charge light and it won't turn on.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------

I don't think it works with ICS yet.
[General Accessories] Bushrod:
Whew. Found the right place to smack it and it turned back on. I think I'm going to try to slip a credit card underneath to get it off the watch holder next time.

Also, after editing the incoming_connections.conf file to change the value to 1, it seems to held a much better connection today.

The new SmartWatch is available for preorder from a couple of retailers now (no exact release date) - priced at around £70 which is much less than I expected.

http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-smartwatch

It's still unforgivable that they can't get the LiveView working, but if the new one is £70 and actually does what it says on the tin I may well be tempted. The LiveView cost me £18 plus £1.50 for the LiveView Manager app and still doesn't work properly, but I'll try not to think about that...

Cheers,

Tim
[General Accessories] gelvlc:
SE say their new watch is compatible with very few models. So i think it must have the same problems as the first watch.

And left after leaving the first customers I do not want to fall back into the same trap by not having a SE mobile brand.

I suppose this one is not water-resistant either?

I have tried to find out, but found no statement at their official site.

Imho this is one of the big downsides compared to TI's MetaWatch.
[General Accessories] JerryPi:
Well Metawatch in its current state is not that feature packed. Because its a developer platform, and relatevly new the development just started picking up. I have both the liveview and digital metawatch. And i must say i prefer the metawatch because it functions primarly as a watch, the display is always on and you can just glance at the time. And seccondly its build quality is way above liveviews, its water resistant plus i get text, email, call, calendar notifications all that with a battery life of about 3 work days.
[General Accessories] tj80:
It's IP54 - in other words, splashproof.

This list is growing - it was only 2 phones when first announced, it's about a dozen now (all still Sony). The publicity has stated it will be compatible with 3rd party phones, maybe they're just being cautious? On the other hand, they may have done some bodge with the Bluetooth connection like they did on LiveView which means it will never be stable on "standard" phones.
[General Accessories] thebrave:
My SGSII doesn't suffer from the problem where the phone has to ask again for authentification. Only remain the fact that the LiveView software doesn't manage to stay in memory, but the AutomateIt fix solved the problem.

Also, I dropped it a few days ago, loosing the right button, but managed to repair it.

Right now, I'm happy with the device and I get around 2-3 days of battery.

I bought the "Liveview Manager" and it keeps the services of liveview application always alive. But in my case i don't have a stable connection with my Galaxy Tab 7" 2.2 :'(

I now know how to use this LiveView to its best.

My LiveView will not have any single signal drop if I use it outside my house. I still can't find what it is that makes my LiveView lost the connection with my phone when it is located in my house.

This brings me to the fact that I will have to turn my LiveView off every time I come back home. I've been doing this for over 2 weeks and my LiveView connection and battery issues are now gone.

The LiveView battery was being consumed by the disconnection issue due to the fact that LiveView would have to start reconnecting or repairing each time it got disconnected. But now when it is not disconnected from my phone that often (or at all), my LiveView goes live for like 2 days, loosing less than 20% of the battery. Note that I use it 6 - 10 hours / day. So right now, my LiveView last for 4 days at the least and I'm so happy.

I use all the functions, included the RSS one. I set the RSS and Twitter to 3 hours per sync. Other than that, I use 1 hour or 30 minutes profile.

Now I'm madly in love with my LiveView.

PS. I use the normal LiveWare Manager app, didn't pay for any extras app.
[General Accessories] gelvlc:

hey all, i know this is a stupid question, but i can't seem to get any of the plugins working.

I haven't used my liveview in a long time and decided that i would try it again.

but i don't remember how to get the plugins to show up on my liveview...i went into the pluggin area on the liveview app itself, but can't seem to get it to find any of the plugins...

any help?

Thanks in advance!

[General Accessories] pjku79:
I have read through tons and tons of threads with suggestions on how to fix the liveview, but there seems to be a lot of different answers. Is there a consensus on what the best way to resolve the connection issue is? Is there some where is have a step by step for someone that is a beginner? Also, while I am asking questions, I noticed some instructions said you had to be rooted, but with all my searching I couldn't find instructions on how to root the liveview. Is that documented some where.
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
Before Liveview pair your device and then perform the following steps;

also;

Rom using data> misc> bluetooth> incoming_connection.conf file exists;

00:21:9E:94:AD:23,-1,1326587152292-1000 ------> MN800

MN800 row changed;

00:21:9E:94:AD:23,1,1326587152292-1000 ------> MN800

I obtained this way the best results.
[General Accessories] slammish:
after updating my linkkeys file and the firmware with the sony ericsson updater my liveview no longer connects at all, just tries to pair until the liveview decides to turn off. takes about 3-5 minutes - it succeeds in supressing the pair request dialogue, but i think that may be keeping it from being paired all together.

any suggestions? i set the linkkeys file back to how it was, but it doesn't help. i've restarted the phone. is there a way to reset the linkkeys file?
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
Approval of the your LiveView device want to pair 2 times. After approval of the first check should not see the second window, in this case lowering the statusbar can see and confirm the confirmation prompt. After the second approval, pair problem must be resolved.

Sorry my bad English.
[General Accessories] slammish:
the english isn't so bad- i can make it out- i'm just glad you responded so quickly. there's nothing to approve at all though, there are no prompts whatsoever to pair with my liveview anymore- even in the statusbar.

my liveview first shows the circular sync icon, then the phone shows that the liveview is paired but not connected, then the liveview will sit with the phone icon ... the liveview icon for more than 3 minutes, then it will shut off. no notifications on my phone or on the liveview. sometimes the liveview will show a lightning bolt when it fails to pair, but mine doesn't even do that anymore.
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
Liveview reset of your device is useful. To do this, need to re-install the SonyEricsson Update Service software using.
[General Accessories] slammish:
i just did an update again (reset) and it still does the same thing

my phone no longer asks me to pair the device. i think it's my phone's problem, not the liveview- i think it's whatever that linkkeys file is. i removed all edits i made to that file though- and i saved it as all files instead of txt, so that's not it.

would it hurt anything to wipe out the linkkeys file? do you think it would reset it?

update: okay, now when i use root explorer to view the linkkeys file with text editor it is blank. i go to paste in my original file's contents and save, it saves, then it's blank again.

this is so frustrating
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
I think the phone does not already running Liveview trouble-free operation.

If possible, try to update rom.

I do not think about anything to do with Linkkeys file.

Unfortunately, I can not recommend another solution.
[General Accessories] slammish:
thanks for trying. the phone no longer asks me permission to pair with ANY device after editing that linkkeys file.
[General Accessories] slammish:
the only assistance tech support will offer me is a factory reset of my device.

i HAD liveview working, though it was only fora few minutes after my phones screen would be off. granted, that makes it completely useless... but it would still kind of work. is there anyone here that knows how to fix this?

in summary, the phone no longer requests permission to pair with any bluetooth device- and does not pair automatically.
[General Accessories] pjku79:
I updated mine and did the steps suggested above today. I'll see how it works.
[General Accessories] slammish:
i just downloaded an app called bluetooth fix repair and it allowed my device to pair. the fix doesnt... Stick. after it's paired, and then loses connection, i have to run it again to get it to pair. it only has so many uses, so iunno what i can do to keep it alive.
[General Accessories] pjku79:
I just wanted to add my 2 cents not that i have been wearing my liveview for a couple weeks. I was really concerned about connectivity and battery life, but I have been pleasantly surprised. After doing the mods suggested above, my liveview is rarely disconnected (not enough to be concerned). On occasion I still have to click on the watch to reconnect (maybe twice a day) and when I do it connects right back up (don't have to touch the phone).

Also, I am pleased to announce that the battery lasted 5 DAYS this week. Although I would have been fine with 2.

I am still looking around for good apps/widgets. I wish people didn't give up on this so early so there were more out there.

[General Accessories] mtwidale:
Hi. I have just had exactly the same problem. I solved it by;

a) Unpair Liveview from your phone.

b) rename the linksys file (I used xlinksys)

c) turn off bluetooth and switch off your phone and LiveView

d) switch back on, switch on bluetooth and LiveView; scan for your device.

e) Pair with LiveView

f) connect via LiveView Manager

It appears that pairing recreates the linksys file. Hope this helps.
[General Accessories] Myzhar:
The linksys file is present and not empty.

The empty one is "incoming_connection.conf".
[General Accessories] mtwidale:
Sorry Myzhar, my reply was intended for slammish

EDIT: And in my previous post b) above should read linkkeys file, not linksys
[General Accessories] ayturkozmen:
Hi,

I'm sorry for my late reply.

Your make Liveview unpair and delete the following files;

"incoming_connection.conf"

"linkkeys"

Your make Liveview and phone reboot and pair again.

"incoming_connection.conf"

"linkkeys"

files will be again will be filled.

Sorry for my bad English.

Stuck

My liveview seems to be stuck. I just restored it using the Update Service software from Sony Ericsson.

What happens is:

1: Press "Power" button

2: Device powers up and shows Sony Ericsson logo and green light on "Power button"

3: Device finishes booting and displays --:-- for the time in the upper-right corner and the battery gauge in the upper-left corner, light on "Power" button stays green

I can't get it to go anywhere else from here. I've tried rebooting it multiple times, including the 8+ second reset, and I've restored it after this problem with the Update Service software. It will not enter pairing mode, and the device light on top seems to always be green unless it is off. Does anyone have a solution?

My device I plan on pairing this to is an EVO 3D, in case that matters.

Edit: I was getting pissed off with it, held both buttons for about 6 seconds from "Off", and it suddenly decided to go into pairing mode and pair with my phone. No idea what changed, but I guess it fixed itself. Now to see if I can solve all of the connection issues it used to have.

Edit 2: It paired, and displayed the 0:00 time in the middle of the screen, but my phone and liveview couldn't establish a connection. I turned the liveview off, and then back on, and it went back to the same issue previously described.

Edit 3: This is just getting ridiculous. I was able to repeat the process from edit 1, and got it to go back to pairing mode. I had my phone forget the pairing (unpair) and then tried pairing again, but now the liveview just freezes and my phone comes back with "there was an issue connecting to the liveview". The liveview freezes its display and the light on top in whatever position they were in last (if light on green, stays green, light on red, stays red, arrows in middle stop spinning, even light off and screen frozen)

Edit 4: I'm going to leave it in the frozen "pairing mode" described above. It still shows up under bluetooth settings on my phone, but I can't get it to stop freezing/having errors. Going to let the battery die and then charge it up, see where it goes from there. If anyone has any other suggestions, please post here or PM me.

Just figured out it was actually LiveViewCharm. Will post how it helps with my LiveView disconnecting issue.
[General Accessories] DomusX10:
Hello deciocavallo,

I write in English because these are the rules of the forum;)

Yes, I'm good .. I have bought in a package called "Active Fitness Pack" and then I also have the armband for my x10 mini pro, and I am fine.

The new one is called "LiveWatch" and is completely different ... larger screen, more features ... so it costs more.

Now with LiveView Charm finally I can use it without any disconnections ...
[General Accessories] CoffeeCone:
I think you mean "SmartWatch"? Also, what are your experiences with LiveView Charm so far?
[General Accessories] DomusX10:
Yes, "smartWatch"...sorry...

LiveView Charm to me it works fine with ROM MiniCM7 v.2.1.9 and nAa11 kernel...after connecting the LiveView, launched its app "Live View application" and launch LiveView Charm and put "start" ... and you're done!

No disconnections .. and when I want to quit, from the notification bar choose "stop" ... that's all.
[General Accessories] CoffeeCone:
I see, but what about battery power? Does it speed up draining the battery? Or have you noticed a considerable amount of battery drain while using LiveView Charm?
[General Accessories] DomusX10:
Absolutely not, for me. The phone battery is discharged in the same way, even with LiveView charm activated.

If anything, I noticed that the battery of the LiveView discharged more faster! :)

but it isn't a real problem...
[General Accessories] CoffeeCone:

P/S: By the way, at this moment, all things seem OK to me. With automateIT and liveview charm, I haven't got any disconnection from last night until now. My LiveView now is really a "live" View ^^

thank you i've buyed from amazon.de (25Eur with shipping :) ) the Sony LiveView.

Today is the first day, it works great with LiveView Charm, i've installed more plugins.

I think that the best is "GmailCheckerPlugin" for Gmail notifications and "CustomNotifierPlugin" for other notifications as Whatsapp etc..

There's a way to show the singles plugin in the first screen of liveview menu instead of plugins folder?

There's not a thread for plugin list and comments for best plugins?
