Err... 100 pounds... Well, it could replace my wrist watch that cost as much, but what about the battery...?

2 to 4 days depending on use according to some reviews I've read
The original live view is 30 on amazon now
Sent from here to there.

I like this ...and waiting for release no idea how much it is

yes I think they removed the video... It was on SEitalian chanell and there was some livesound upgrade too but I can't find them anymore...

As far as I understand this is only a remote for your phone apps ,
such as
Messaging
Social network viewing
Answer /reject calls
Music controls
Camera controls
You can't
Make calls
Sent msg
Post on social networks
Store anything on it
Or use without a phone
That's why I think its too dear ,at 60 quid it would be worth a punt
Or
If it had its own storage 8-16gb for music etc so it could be a stand alone watch/mp3 player for running etc maybe a pedometer ,GPS track etc then I'd pay 150 to 200 no prob
But for me its got to little features for that money ,its a gimmick which would most like remain in my draw after 2 weeks
Its also not pretty enough to be anything but casual wear so it won't replace my current watch.
PS .this is only my opinions and thoughts on this .

Same here
I like it but don't think I'd use it for a long time.
For must of the stuff it does I'd just pull out my device and save 120 bucks for other stuff.

The I'm watch is much prettier and the motoactv has better features both more expensive but I'd use them for a lot more and a lot longer
Don't think I'll be jumping yet tho ,next Gen should be much better I think.
Sent from here to there.

does anyone know if it's backwards compatible with the previous liveview plugins?
and I sure hope it doesn't suffer from the same connectivity issues as the first gen liveview smartwatch.

LiveView App in the Market!

Hey guys, just checked: theres an app called "liveview application" in the market ;-)
So launch shouldnt be too far away
Sent from my 2.1 X10i using XDA App
Are you buying one? If yes could you share the points that you think matters for you to own one?
Thanks
I'm definitely considering buying one, or at least asking for it for Xmas if I don't get around to buying it. I've kind of been wanting to get a watch anyways and this brilliant little device would be a nice watch and great for seeing what messages friends are sending to me while I'm working. I'm also an accessory whore so theres that as well. Why buy a fancy watch when I can get something that connects right to my phone and does much more than tell me the time
If it isn't astronomically priced I would consider getting one. Sony made an older bluetooth watch that is still available on ebay for a fairly high amount though.
I amuse myself with the thought of kids in school being able to check their text messages / social networks from their watch. I would have.
I have one since yesterday but display wont work,battery wont load,so bad.
Send it back.

Yes, it's difficult to get the phone to a backpack when riding the motorcycle.
Tomorrow I get my Liveview . I also think I will have problems with the battery. I will explain.

I'm actually thinking of buying this one too. regarding battery life, right now I have my x10 connected to my mbw-150 and IS800 and so far my phone lasts a day, granted I only wear them when I go out which is like 6 or 7 hours a day.
6 hours are the normal battery time for the liveview device!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
6 hours battery life is putting it a little low. Got mine since Friday 19th and have been using it since.
The battery holds for about 14 hours with on and off (regular) usage.
But as with all new devices, you'll probably drain that thing dry in about 5-6 hours, since you will be fumbling it all the time.
But as time goes and you'll use it normally, you should see a days worth of usage from the thing.
What concerns me, personally is the stability of the Software.
I don't know, how much is the apps fault (fixable), or that of the device (I've read no mention of it being update-able).
I already wrote SE for a statement on the matter.
As it is now, the device regularly quits working.
It wont go further then showing you the watch (time and date).
Nothing else.
After turning it off and on again, it automatically connects again and works though (taking about 10 seconds and two button presses).
With that behavior it's quite unreliable for notifications (it's main purpose).
I hope, SE can somehow fix that.
Got mine from ldlc.com
work nice.
But I'm a little bit disapointed with my mw600 now. I don't understand why the LiveView can display my contact name and my music title and the mw600 not ....
Dear All Thanks for the application
can anybody post the other 7 applications for live view since i dont have the android market in my x10 mini pro
apprecaite......
Can anybody please provide the updated version of liveview.apk?
Thanks, Sigi

SE Liveview is it any good?

I'm thinking of getting a SE Liveview. I want to know if it's any good as they're selling for about £20 on Play.com and to be fair it looks like a really cool accessory.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
its just 13 quid by now. but my personal experience i am telling you not to buy. i have liveview for like 3.4 months but never used it cause you need to sacrifice the battery of your phone which is already a problem.
I love it but I would by the new version Sony made much more attractive works better called live watch or some thing
Sent from my R800a using XDA App
I personally think it doesn't affect battery life too much. It does lose connection sometimes, and that can be a pain. I think there is an app to get rid of that problem though. And the new watch is called SmartWatch I think.
It's a pity I don't have the £75 for the Sony Live watch. Tar for the opinions guys.
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
Got mine same day as my play. Doesn't affect battery that much afaik. Connection issues have been a problem. I just shelled out a buck for liveview manager in the store. Supposed to fix connection issues. Haven't fully tested it yet but I hope it works, I love mine. Especially great because I can't always feel vibration and I can when it's on my wrist.

Btw the live view manager works great. Definitelyworth a buck

No. It refuses to stay connected.

Sadly yes - I bought one for 20€ at amazon a month ago. Since some people even mentioned good things about the device.
But continuous disconnects made it unuseable - since it refuses to do anything with broken connection it was not more then a little weight,...
Beside the range was really short - wich also broke the connection once the phone was 3m away - and the reconnect when in range again ALWAYS failed.
Ofc i tried to get the latest FW update (last from 01.2011),... even flashed different ROMs to be sure it not the Phone....
I sent it back.
Beside this I noticed - it really not more then a gimmic --- the useability is quite low.
I haven't used the new 'smart' watch/liveview but i still have my MBW-300 Bluetooth watch, and it was a great investment. Not as many features as the Liveview by far, but still looks much better and for basic notifications/music control its awesome!
does anyone know if this can be used with other media players like beyondpod or astro podcast player?
I know it works for the stock music player....but can it take control of other aforementioned apps!
Personally waiting for this one: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android

I think it's a terrible idea. As I've stated numerous times: Why compromise the specs to fit on your wrist when you have a full-spec device in your pocket already? Make it remotely control the other device and FULLY integrate the functions!
All that does is make me have two Android "smart" devices I have to charge every night (actually, three because I also carry a tablet).
Allways dissconected
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It disconnects most of the time and I have had some hard time taking the watch back cover off. I even broke one of my fingernails trying to take the damn thing off !
So now it's time for me to get a Sony Smartwach

Sony Smartwatch

Well I was thinking about getting this Sony Smartwatch for use with the Galaxy Note (International version).
Any tips/suggestions to if it is good or not?
Also does the watch itself have a speaker? (either for the hour beeps or just playing music.)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
depends on what you plan to do with it. the sony smartwatch MN2 isnt too bad. it has a lot of features i'd probably use. the only thing i didnt like about it is that it cant do much of anything unless it is bluetooth sync'd to a phone. heck, the clock function wont even work unless its sync'd to a phone, which seems kinda pathetic to me for a device that has 'watch' in its name. just for that reason alone, i'd probably choose a pebble or motoactv.
The watch actualy keeps time even if/after bluetooth disconnected. It just needs an initial sync to give it the right time in the first place.
Use search or look further down this exact forum to see a longer thread about this watch.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Thats good to know because its definitely not true of the LiveView and the main thing that stops me from using it on a day to day basis.
have ordered Sony SmartWatch, will get it in some days, anyone using it with note please share your experience and any tips. Also if there is any other thread with more info please provide link.

[Q] Movies

I would like to start watching some movies on my note 2. I don't want to download them to my device. I was thinking of using drop box and a program which puts dvds as a file. It takes a rather long time and I would rather not want to do this every time. Is there a website or something that allows you to Stream your own movies for free?
most movies nowadays come with ultraviolet copies. if your dvds don't then try setting your computer up as an ftp server and host them yourself

if you were trying to "share" movies over your own home network, like watch movies that were on a home computer in another room, that would be easy. Stupid easy. Set your folder with movies as "shared" over the network, use something like BubbleUPnP player, or even XBMC for Android (quite a bit more complicated to set up, but Way Worth it, once you set up the library and shares) to browse and watch. (with XBMC, I woiuld set it up on the host sys, set up the libraries and metadata there for sharing over the network.)
if you are trying to "share" movies over the internet (from your home, I assume?), for you to watch when you were out at another location, well that's a hobby unto itself, and outside the scope of what you could expect here at XDA. Learning how to set up a "real" server (FTP, SMB/CIFS), takes time and (at least self-) education. People get paid to do that kind of stuff, right? Worth learning, if you have the time. But I don't have the time to even teach you the basics. There are no basics.
Not to mention most likely your bandwidth upstream from home, on most IPSs, is not very great. I wouldn't want to stream anything but standard definition vid files, And it might "kill" the internet use for anyone at home.
But for fun, here are some basic solutions and/or information for you to explore, get started. If you start to play around with networking, you'll quickly become a "computer genius" to family n friends. :

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9659/how-to-install-and-setup-windows-home-server/ (WHS is another fave, even though they dont "make" it anymore, it can still be found, and is a stupid easy way to "get started" in servers if you're comfortable in the Windows environment, I always recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to get into command line *nix kinda stuff, just wants to play around with a functional and easy way to have a server, works great, and completely instantly compatible, obviously, with any Win based PCs at home.)

I use Remote Media Center from the play store. In conjuction with remote potato server app running on your home computer to serve your media. RMC will utilize MX player to handle the video playback on your phone. (Install MX player). I've been using this setup for almost a year no problem. I've got tons of video and pictures, music I don't need to carry with me.

I downloaded this after seeing your post and have watched every new movie from 2012 I'd wanted to see but wouldn't pay $20 to go sit in a theater full of morons crunching popcorn, slurping soda, texting, talking and making my night miserable what a waste. I haven't been to a theater in 2 year's or so cause of that crap. Price is too high to go watch a movie that you miss half of from the rude idiots acting like they're sitting on their own couch and didnt just pay a small fortune to be there. I can't quite figure out why the prices have gotten so high its not like the theaters have gotten any nicer or more private. I could see a price increase if they weren't packing 200+ people in a 150'x150' room im seats where you're practically sitting on each others lap.

it's basic economics. wherein a business is not considered successful unless there is measurable Growth in profits to show to investors every year. (ie: "how can we squeeze more money from our customers while bringing production costs down/delivering less, and do it better than last year?") theaters have become the worst experience you can have for $15, hands down.
if it wasn't for IMAX, i wouldn't go to theaters at all. even then, at home i've got excellent surround sound, 55" screen. and i get to take pee breaks. and i make way better snacks than Regal. (you haven't lived until you've had my open-faced chopped steak and provolone sandwich)
and people wonder why i'm a verified, unrepentant, and proud pirate. over 700 movies in my collection, and counting. (not to mention TV seasons... and hundreds of thousands of songs...) that's why I maintain a robust server in my basement. any bit of my media collection is accessible by any terminal in the house.
call me a hypocrite if you like, but i never pirate software. and verbally slam those that do. *shrug*
Why would they have an app that allows for not so legal activity in the play store?
Questions like this is why they get pulled........ shhhhhh

I got it yesterday and really wasn't impressed with it at all.... Kinda glad I didn't pay for it. Maybe I have to try more apps to really be sure but on first glance I thought it was really bad.

Too grainy for me..not crystal clear and gives me a headache looking at it.

Kinda grainy, not sure if its screen protector or if its normal
Screen door effect is not as bad as people made it out to be. The controller is nice and natural feeling. I suggest using both head straps when you get it. Facebook account is mandatory for Occulus related software. And if you want to browse the internet in VR, get the dedicated Samsung Internet browser app, not the built in Gear VR browser on the bottom menu.

Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
it's been pretty good for me, with low expectations because I didn't see too many games coming out for it (I'm glad that promo gave us a few good games)
but still, needs work and more support
(Drop Dead) was a good experience for me plays a lot like house of the dead plus its free of course so very happy so far
not bad i guess, its not perfect but its free right
only few free stuff in the store mostly demo but over all not bad for a first time VR user
my 8yo daughter is loving it
Used it for about 20 minutes when I first got it. Haven't touched it since. Would have preferred a free SD card instead
Dead and Buried is fun as hell, so is Drop Dead. They make very good use of the controller. The 3 dimensional art in the "Oculus 360 Photos" app is pretty damn cool too, it makes me want to find more 3d art. I also enjoy taking 360 degree photos with my S8+ and then viewing the photos in the Gear VR. Watching videos isn't too bad either, you get that big screen feeling when you're no where near a big screen.
I havent received mine yet, did you guys get tracking in email? On samsung page it says gift sent but no date or tracking on it
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I now have 3 of these things [1 from the Note 2 and 2 for S8 and S8+]. The controller is a nice addition. I've played a couple of games so far and enjoyed the experience. Downloaded a simulation of flying through the galaxy. That was really cool! I enjoy it for what it is.

Cris, I received email updates from Samsung with tracking info once it was confirmed sent.
As for the headset, I came in with no expectations and as such, was pleasantly surprised. My entire family thought it was 'cool,' and my wife has actually put in more hours playing Drop Dead than anyone else, lol.
For those with the 'grainy' concerns, have you tried adjusting the image with the scroll wheel thing on top of the headset? I didn't notice it was there until the second day. (I didn't read the manual)
Didn't use the one at all that I got with the S7 edge, not once, and still haven't used the new one. Shoulda sold em. Maybe I still will. Idk they're cool but only for like 10 minutes. That's just me.
VR streaming sucks. I download all 180 and 360 VR content.
