Again, don't forget to update your LiveView device using Sony Ericsson Update Service application. Run Update Service choose X10 then Next. Turn off LiveView. Connect to USB cable. Press and hold Right button, then Left (Power) button until DFU appear on screen. Then update will guide you through the update.

If some would like, please post some ideas you want to see implemented on LiveView...

I'm not able to find the following plugins in the Market, is it possible for someone to post them:

LiveView™ Weather plug-in

Where am I LiveView™ plug-in

TIA
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] down4wotever:
I also noticed that these two plug-ins have gone walk about. Methinks it may have something to do with permissions from Google, especially the "where am I plug in" which clearly pulled information from Google Maps.

Hello!

Would you mind to share these APKs?

I can't access to market right know!

[LOL, I accidently thanked your post :P]
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] LoRd D:
Ty a lot!

I found them in another topic and installed them but liveware dosent recognise my device!

Dunno maybe its cause from my ROM!

and pls share your plugins!
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] chrxss:
Has anybody the Where am I apk file? I can't find it... I have the weather apk if anyone is interested...
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] LoRd D:
seem it removed from market!cause of problem with google's permission!

It's completly used Google map!
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] Ceger:
I'm interested.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] azian_advanced:
not sure if it applies but since the "where am i" liveview app has been removed from the market because it uses google maps without googles permission, asking for the apk may be deemed as warez and might get you in trouble on the forum. like i said, i'm not sure if it's the same as warez or not but maybe someone can shed some light on this before more and more people start asking the same thing.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] Ceger:
I don't understand why it is an issue if the plug ins are free and use Google services like hundreds of other apps do. Maps and other Google apps has an open API for such things.

Confused.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] dalethefarmer:
I'm interested. Please post :D
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] dalethefarmer:
Is not warez...

Please post the apk, anyone?
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] down4wotever:
Seconded. I think if Google were were that concerned, they would use their remote wipe function. The "where am I" plug in is one of the coolest and practical on the liveview
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] starbridge:
I need the weather apk, would you please so kind as to give me this APK?

I have had my Liveview for a day, now. Early days, but so far it does what it says..Will consider doing a full review at some point. I will add, that this gadget is more useful than essential, but so far, so good...

I'm using Wolfbreak's CM6 ROM and it takes me 10-20 tries to get my LiveView to pair with the phone. Even when I get it to work, it disconnects and takes forever to reconnect again.

I don't think SE plans to ever fix this problem. I would love to have one of the xda devs to come up with an update fixing all of LiveView's issues.

btw, I have the Whereami application in a backup file from the stock 2.1 ROM. The next time I plan to flash a new ROM in, I'll post the file up for downloads as long as it's legal to do so.

Just got a Liveview app update on the market. Any thoughts on what's new. No news yet, even from sony ericsson product blog
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] KingCifer:
so is any1 recommending liveview? or is it just useless with all the blutooth problems?
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] CharlesW123:
I love mine, I think some of the BT issues are more to do with the ROM you have one the phone than the device or the Liveview app. Have to say though that since the update to the Liveview app yesterday mine has not failed to auto. connect backup itself once yet (in about 9 hours use), so getting a lot better :)
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] Ulvesjo:
After last update the connection is more stable but the change log said there where an updated firmware for the device but seus did not find any.

If anyone have problem with connection after update try to force an firmware update and remove pairing from phone and repair.

[XPERIA X10 Accessories] down4wotever:
Market update a step backwards?

(Solved) Anyone else noticed that with the recent market update, liveview is restricted to only 6 plugins as in its early days? Or am I missing something?
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] azian_advanced:
I've re-updated my liveview firmware through UpdateService (link) which hard-resetted the device, then I re-paired it with the phone and it seems to run a bit better now.

It still disconnects after a long while which is probably what it's programmed to do to save battery but now it always connects on the first try (instead of 10 tries). i'll be doing this every time I switch to a new ROM. maybe the liveview doesn't like having more than one device paired in its history and after every ROM upgrade, it needs to be hard resetted.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] spacegravity4me:
I saw a review for the live view before the first update that said that if it wasn't connected to a phone then it couldn't tell the time. Is this still true after all the updates? I honestly think it's a pretty big deal.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] azian_advanced:
even if the liveview loses bluetooth range or disconnects from the phone, the time is kept on the liveview watch. if you reset the watch, then you lose the time. so just don't turn it off.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] exlive3:
thanx!

really useful information...am considering liveview...how can we check if it have the latest update??
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] Borecz1:
Just like with any other SE device: via SEUS. The procedure is exactly the same, with one difference, you can't select LiveView when SEUS asks you to select your device. Instead, you select X10 and continue. Then you need to connect LiveView in flashmode (which is done by keeping both buttons pressed simultaneously and connecting it or something like that... you can find that information in this thread) and after that it will show whether or not there is an update available ;)

[XPERIA X10 Accessories] gooph:
It is a pretty neat toy but is not all that useful in my opinion. I bought mine right away and have updated it. It does lose its connection occasionally. There are many interesting plugins but most are too many presses for them to be convenient. If you use it as a watch, I would be careful about bumping it as it does snap off relatively easily.

These are just a few points to warn though. It is neat and it does what it advertises. I recommend: If you're looking for a cool toy then you should buy one. If you need a functional accessory, you may be a little let down.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] siacotos:
sorry to bump an old thread, but I just got a live view and im having all the dropping and freezing that everyone else was having but I can not find the update program. seems to have been taken off of the experia website. i know its a long shot but does anyone still have the file or a link to one?
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] HyaeneLeipzig:
Try PC Companion or SEUS ... link for downloading http://www.chip.de/downloads/Sony-Ericsson-Update-Service_44169249.html it is an german website, but I think it's working for you.

Choose LiveView and follow instructions.

Got one from play.com, could not get plugin's to show. Tried sporty pal pro and that worked! After reading this thread

http://android.modaco.com/topic/350283-compatibility-of-liveview-application-with-ics/

Seems you need to enable plugins to get them to show. Problem is you enable them through liveview!

Fix is to use something to open the plugin's preferences to enable it. Suggested answer (which worked for me) is to use ADW Launcher, create custom shortcut > activities > "select plugin > preferences" launch and enable.

Now connection issues are a different story!

Liveview - Driver for Windows

I have downloaded the latest version of PC Companion from sonymobile.com, installed the program first and then connected the Liveview with usb cable in DFU mode. I got an error message that windows 7 is not able to find driver for the liveview, usually the driver is installed with the program, so what should i do in this case?

:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] GigiAUT:
If you're running ICS, don't bother. It doesn't play nice with the app that the liveview needs to stay connected. Since I upgraded from Gingerbread, it's been a nightmare.

[EDIT 2]

Tweaking the Linkkeys file wasn't stbale.

I'm still seaking for the optimal solution, and I stumbled upon another thread which I'm gong to follow:

[HOW-TO][APP] Make the SE liveview work on ICS

It contains a complete list of possible solutions you can try. Tested on GB, ICS, CM7, CM9 and more!

Kind regards!

UltimateGeppie

[EDIT 2/]

[EDIT]

The connection seemed stable but wasn't. All the usual problems were still there :(

So today i tweaked the linkkey file (need root) and that seems to do the trick!

This tweak doesn't solve the real problem, but it makes a good work-around. The liveview device still looses connection, but when it tries to reconnect, you don't need to accept the connection. The phone simply accepts the connection.

[EDIT/]

So, recently I bought a second hand LiveView.

I had the connection drops), but with Livecharm installed it was a bit better.

This morning I updated the firmware on my liveView an now this thing rocks!

I don't need LiveCharm anymore and it just dropped connection one time during the day (fingers crossed). So I'm using a pretty basic setup without any hacks or tricks.

I'm using a custom ROM on my SE Xperia X10i.

(both Mokee and Champs x10s port are able to work with liveview).

They are both CM7 based.

If I can contribute (eg. by giving insight in details of my working setup) then just let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Nonetheless I'm hoping that developers wont abandon their OpenView project.

LiveView has much potential. Since I've got mine working, I'm reading all tweets, facebook updates en news (RSS) on the LiveView.

It even becomes annoying that i need my phone to post updates myself :)

So if you can get it to work, it';s a great toy.
[XPERIA X10 Accessories] Ultimategeppie:
To everybody that is interested: Sony updated their liveview app. The stability has heen improved a lot! You really schould try it.

Also, there is a thread about reverse engineering the liveview. Just Google: openliveview, or go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422106

This app is in beta, but does a really good job and never had connection issues.

Liveview has become a usefull and working device!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] KSandbergFL:
I just got a used HTC Universal. It had a generic WM5 install on it. I came here, looking for a WM6.x ROM. A couple years ago, I had great success doing this with an HTC Wizard (which I still have) -- I know how to flash a ROM. However, with the Universal, I am not having any luck.

The device comes up in bootloader mode just fine. But no ROM I have tried, ever boots up. I have tried the MTTY DOC format, I have tried using MaUpgradeUT, I have tried using the ROMUpgradeUT.exe that comes with the ROM's... nothing seems to work. If I understand the various posts here -- the device is acting like the Carrier ID is still set, and no ROM will work until I clear the CID and/or find a ROM that matches the CID. But, I thought that the MAUpgradeUT was supposed to clear out the CID? Is there another utlity for that?

I have spent basically 8 hours today, trying to get this to work... I am willing to ship this to someone in the US and pay $$$ to get it working again. It's a nice device (looks brand new) and I really want to use it. It was working just fine on WM5, until I got the bright idea to re-flash it.

Can anyone help?

[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
I purchased a warranty or insurance for my G tablet(2 years) from sears. My question for those that work or have experience with returns, say I have 2 G tablets; 1 with and 1 without insurance. Can I return either of the two incase something happens to Sears?

I'm asking because I had originally bought a Nook Color for my sister's birthday, but she didn't really like it so I returned it. She wants the same one I have and knowing how clumsy she is, can my insurance protect hers?

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] wiredmonkey:
Depends on if they registered your serial number when they sold you the warranty. If so, you're probably not going to be able to do it.
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
I don't think they did, I went to return a gtab 3 days after purchase to get the $30 sale difference. When I asked if I was still able to purchase an insurance all they did was ask for my rewards card and receipt. I only paid the difference of $20 for the 2 year insurance. I would think that if you're covered, return one, then the serials would be different or change. I think they only go by item number/stock number. The only ones I know that go by serial is when you're going by manufacturer's warranty.

Any other help, or experience with this?
[G Tablet General] japhule:
It's too late but I'd recommend using an American Express card for purchases since they will extend warranty to another year. Other credit cards do it also but Amex tends to have pretty good service for their extended warranty.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I bought a 3y warranty from squaretrade yester with accidental "handling" damage added for c. $65... there's a 30% off coupon which worked for me: FBPREVIEW

(I've never bought a warranty from squaretrade before, but I've only seen positive comments about them, and no negative(a good sign as negatives are usually more common than positive comments) comments... seemed like a good deal to me as I'm sure that I'll eventually drop the gTab or spill something on it...)
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
Is there way to disable 2g/enable 3g only on WP7? I have a T-Mobile HD7 if that makes a difference.

On Android, you can go to the dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* and it puts you in a menu where you can change it from WCDMA preferred to WCDMA only. I want that same functionality on my HD7 if possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
I found the answer shortly after posting this. I swear I searched. Well anyway, to let anyone who wants to know, here are the steps:

Go to the phone dialer

Type ##3282#, Call

Tap the ... on the lower right of the screen

Tap Settings

Under "Network Type", select "3G Only"

Going back into the ##3282# menu/settings shows "Automatic" in the "Network Type" box, but it stays on 3G, indefinitely. I'll report back here if that changes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
thanks for the tip, might want to add it to the tips and tricks thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
Can you set it to 2G only? I live in a low network area and sometimes calls drop out when switching from the weak 3G signal to the strong 2G signal
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
I know the hd7 has that option under cellular but apparently not all phones have this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
What are the benefits of doing this? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
It's already in tips - it's called Field Test
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
If your phone has a 3G signal but the Edge signal is stronger, it reverts to Edge. You lose calling capabilities when not in a 3G area but if you are never out of range it stays in 3G all the time, as in my case.

I checked tips and could not find it. Search doesn't allow the search "3G" because it is too short and it finds no results for "3G only" and for "WCDMA only". Who would know to look for "Field Test"?
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
Not me either - I wasn't having a go at you, just saying it was in there
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
I know. I was commiserating. Sometimes techies aren't clear about what certain functions do. I consider myself a techie of sorts but I'm not a programmer. It was very difficult for me to find. It took 2 days of searching.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BecomingxInsane:
When you set the 3G only change, does it stick?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
this needs to be in Q&A, but; ODIN to JFD/JI6, then run the GPSRestore app from the market. If your phone's GPS still doesnt work, then it's the GPS hardware.

I've run GPS on all TW roms, and each one locks quick and accurate.

JL5 and JL5 GPS are spot on.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Good_Orion:
I don't think you're going to get murdered for posting a question. It just needs to be in the right forum. Next time please post questions in the Q&A forum to keep the Dev forum clutter free.

As far as your problem goes, when you say not working is your gps seeing satellites and just not locking or not seeing any at all.

Is your roof made of solid tinfoil???

Just kidding, but seriously, Odin back to JFD or some other 2.1 firmware and download GPS restore or something like that from the market and go stand OUTSIDE and test it.

If this fails, then you have faulty hardware. Send it to Samsung.
