Got a live view today....(very smal review..)

So folks,
today the sony ericsson live view arrived. It´s quite cheap in germany (42 euro).
The package contains:
Live View
Wrist strap
Clip
Charger (mini USB, also loads the phone it you want to!)
Manuals
So the device is really smal and does what it promises.
I read some bad reviews at amazon.de, but until now it does not seem to be as bad. The connection between the phone and the live view broke up when it was about 3 meters, so that´s OK so far (could be better).
Reading SMS or the other stuff works.
Sportypal Pro does not work. (that´s one of two released apps that have live view support)
Instalation is easy, no problems there.
The clip has broken down after trying to release the live view for the second time.
Can´t say anything about battery life time until now.
But... I would say, thinking about future plugins for 3rd party apps, this litte device can be something really relly cool. I mean, if you have for example a OSM navigation app, that has live view support, you can easily fix that wrist strap on to the handlebar of your bike... and so on...
It also works as a remote for the music player (can be interesting on skies).
But now a little question. What musicplayer is that (pic) ... This musicplayer has to be installed at the phone natively, but i have no link to open it...
Best regards
(sorry for that really bad english, but it´s very late, the day was very long)

I would love to hear more about your live view as time goes on. I see great potentials in this little gizmo. Question; can you pair live view and a bluetooth [email protected] same time?
Also that native music app is available through creating custom shortcut with adw or launcherpro. There's prolly a thread with shortcut apk file somewhere in this forum. Good luck!
Free X10!

just got Live View this morning - actually, not for me, for my wife as she's got an X10. But since she's on T-mobile and they haven't issued their 2.1 update yet, we couldn't try it out on that device but did manage to do so on my HTC Desire.
First impressions of the box/presentations were pretty shoddy. For some reason here in the UK we were issued a 2-pin European plug (suggesting that etraders got their first batch from abroad) rather than a 3-pin one. Lucky I had an adapter at home. And it wasn't even in the box, it was just shoved in a bag in the mail package.
The accessories with the device are very plasticky. You get a wrist strap, a clip (to attach to pockets, bag handles etc) and a watch housing so you can attach it to the wrist strap. Actually getting the damn wrist strap/watch housing connected was very fiddly, took us about 20 minutes of messing around with little metal pins they supply to get it right. Again, why they couldn't have done this themselves is a mystery and making the customer do it is just frustrating.
First impressions of the device itself are decent, the calling/message notifications work well, the screen is large enough that you can read full text messages and you have the option to mute/reject calls when they come in.
Couple of annoying things: it does seem to lose its pairing fairly easily, maybe it's because we're using the Desire at the moment and not the X10 but I'm not sure. Also, the notification light (e.g. it flashes green if there is a message) doesn't last very long, just a few seconds, it would make more sense if it kept on flashing until you viewed the message.
Oh, one more annoying thing. If you lose the pairing, the watch can't show the time since it takes the time from the phone. My wife wouldn't mind using this as a watch as well, but she would need to have the phone with her all the time and paired up if that was the case. Again, not terribly practical.
there is potential though, the idea of plug-ins is a good one and hopefully there will be a lot of these to expand the functionality of the device.
Will write more once my wife's phone gets the update and is connected.

please look at that can print incoming calls, whether the caller's name

Yes, it does

What is the battery life like?

Anyone tried it together with eg. the MW600 bt headset ??
- can both devices work with the phone at the same time ??

sry I don´t have a second bt device.
battery life will be tested this week.

Couldn't try it with the MW600, but was able to test it with another stereo headset, the HB205 (Sony Ericsson). Worked fine no problem, tried calling the phone and the headphones stopped the music and rang the tone while the Liveview displayed the name/number and vibrated. I would imagine it would be the same for other bluetooth headsets.

Just to clarify, The liveview doesn't lose the time if it disconnects, it loses the time if you then turn it off completely (therefore resetting it).
In fact last night I went to find it to charge it as I only wear it at work, and I pressed the button and it was saying 1.06 am, and i hadn't even had my bluetooth on let alone had the thing near my phone.
Same thing with some of the connection issues, sometimes it goes wrong completely, but depending on what you do in certain situations, you can reconnect quickly.
The problem is SE haven't spelt these out, even pairing the thing in the first place was a nightmare, I had it for 48 mins and couldn't even use it, as i didn't know all the delicate things about it when things don't work. Couldn't really give this to someone as a gift as a casual user, may effect sales until they get the app working better. But I am okay with it now and its doing what I need it to do, and lasting the day.

It seems to me the native Android media player, can someone confirm? The odd thing is that I haven't found a way to start this media player stand alone...
I'm actually disappointed that the supported media player isn't Mediascape, so I can't start music from phone and then switch to Liveview!

Can confirm that supported music player is Android native player, which is a real bummer as I use mediascape for all my music. To activate, simply depress right button on liveview for 2-3 seconds.

I bought one today at a Telenor shop in Stockholm. It cost me 567SEK (60 EUROS) and I would recommend no one pays more than that for a LiveView in Sweden.
I agree with all the previous reviews. It does what it says on the tin ! But it is not ready yet to gift to your girlfriend for Christmas... The strap and holder are cheap plastic and I managed to bend one of the mounting pins whilst carefully trying to put it all together, if they had assembled the watchstrap before-hand it would have saved alot of problems. The instruction manual gave no direction on this at all ! If anything, the single diagram of the watchstrap was misleading.
The LiveView is smaller than expected, if anything it is too small and I wouldn't have complained if it was a little larger and 'styled' somewhat. It's the sort of thing that (and I hope SE have registered patents !!!) SonyEricsson could sell the LiveView module to a proper watch manufacturer like Seiko who could make something more stylish out of it. As it is, it is a small, square bit of plastic which performs some functions but is clearly capable of much more.
This is one of those things that you think is a good idea, but far too early for release. I can promise you that you will all be wearing a 'LiveView' type device in five years time.... But the current version is really still on the geek/hacker level.
But I do hope this does result in some interesting apps in the next few months.
My current, major technical concern with LiveView is that if it is more than 2 metres away from my X10 then it loses connection. My Bluetooth headset can easily manage 5 metres and so should LiveView. But it does manage to automatically reconnect to my X10 when in range, but it leaves the "Find my phone" application pretty useless.

so whats the definitive answer on the mw600 connected at the same time as liveview ?! can both be used at the same time ?!
can u listen to music whilst reading texts emails etc !? ...ie both devices connected at the same time without disconnection (i can cope with the calls being halted or an odd stall when i get a text but if both cannot be used at the same time then it defeats the object of having wireless devices with the bluetooth headphones and the liveview to control it!

I can confirm that LiveView and Mw600 can work together, at the same time with no problem !

Sony Smart Bluetooth Headset SBH50 Review

Hey guys hows it going?
I just purchased one of the new smart bluetooth headsets from Sony which is the SBH50 model and I received it yesterday. Been using it for a day now. Just here to give you a review.
Now first I wasnt sure if it would work the way I assumed originally or if any of the features were compatible with the Xperia S. But bought it anyway as I mainly need it for calls.
As soon as I took it out of the box I immediately touched the headset to the back of my phone and boom. It was connected immediately. Received a notification to download the companion app. Downloaded and thats it. I was soon enough set up ready to go. So simple.
Sound quality is awesome for calls and music. Even the FM radio. The signal for the radio is also good. Unlike on the mw600 where the radio would cut out because the signal was weak.
When you receive a phone call the number pops up on screen with the name, compared to mw600 would be just the number. The notification for text to speech I still havent tested properly however so far seems to be working. I also havent checked the messaging notifications yet however I have seen the email and gmail notifications.pop up on screen.
The multipoint feature is excellent. You can select one device as a primary device and still receive notifcations from both devices and listen to music from the other.
The battery life is also amazing. Switched it on at 7 am and its still on id say about 75%. Most of thr battery has been consumed by me listening to the fm radio this morning.
Oh and there is an option to view your call log on the device too which is quite nice, especially if you want to ring back a number in the call list.
Build quality is very good I found. Feels slightly plasticy but good quality. Not the cheap plastic feel.
Theres a lot more which can be covered and I will add to this review the more I get to know the device and its features.

Got mine as well few days ago. Lost mw600. Not sure what Sony is thinking with 'smart' range as it regresses, since any bluetooth ever, had double click to redial and long press to voice dial. These, including mw1 are missing those functions. Also in comparison with mw600 now we need app to display contacts (sure not it shows names as well), but permanent ongoing notification in status bar and notifications kills this softaware for me.
As long as it does not allow me to change button options and setup, this smart bluetooth is not gonna be 'simply smart' for the foreseeable future. Opening api for Devs might help.
Also don't understand why bluetooth with basically same features, sans NFC, as mw600, is 30 percent larger in volume, while offering same talk/music times as it.
Rant over!
Basically, only reason I'm keeping it is because of possibility of firmware updates (if mw600 had this it wouldn't be obsolete yet and would buy again. Than again that company does not exist anymore) , making it somewhat future proof. This only applies if Sony keeps their end of the bargain.

I got one of these in the mail this week for my Xperia Z.
I was after a bluetooth unit with a 3.5mm output so i could hook it up to my Logitech Z2300 and control the music from my phone. Works well, only the bluetooth range is up to approx 15m line of sight. It'll do for my home entertaining.
I havent tried yet, but if i can connect my pc to it via BT as well i can play the songs off there too.
I dont really see the need for NFC since pairing with BT is simple enough.
Firmware can be updated on it via SUS.
The instruction manual included doesnt have any operating instructions. Im not 100% sure what the icons in the menu means.
Its very light if youre gonna clip it to your clothing, but to handle it is a little tricky cos it is too light.
Ive seen the Pro version of this, with usb on the end of it, so it can be used as standalone mp3 player. Wish i had seen that earlier.

Well, I am somewhat happy with the SBH50 - I only had the MW600 for a short while before sending it back because of the volume controls.
However, it's terrible that you cannot launch voice dial with the big button (what does it anyway?) and the music controls will launch the standard music app if you hadn't launched a different one on the phone before...
I'm praying that this will become better.

My first one after a few weeks died. Wouldn't switch on at all thankfully Amazon replaced it for me.

I'm just looking for a replacement for my MW600 (first one got lost, second one got the clip broken and the last one all of a sudden died for no obvious reason ).
Now I already kind of decided to go for the SBH50 but coming across this thread I don't feel so confident any longer..

Just to get this right- once you've started another app the buttons will control the playback of this particular app or start the default player instead?? (Which would be horrible since I'm exclusively using Spotify)
And something else which got me confused after having read too many reviews: Does the display turn off while listening/having calls? (The MW600 did and I would prefer it this way.)
And a last question especially for the previous MW600 users: Is the SBH50 comfortable to wear? From the pictures the clip doesn't really look secure to be attached compared with the old model..

Hi there. Yes the display turns off after a few seconds in a call, listening to music or when you stop pressing the buttons.
The clip is comfortable to wear however you will either need to clip it on to the neckline/collar of any top or anywhere along the zip line. You can't just clip it anywhere.

[Q] Sony Smartwatch 2 Bluetooth Issues

So I bought my Smartwatch 2 a few weeks ago (imported it from the UK) and it's great, the only problem is that it interferes with bluetooth music streaming and bluetooth call quality. I have a 2012 Chevrolet with bluetooth for calls and for media streaming, and I have not had any issues with streaming content over bluetooth until I purchased the Smartwatch. I also have an LG G2 on Verizon, and I thought that might be causing the issue, so I isolated the true cause; when I turn off the watch while playing music, the quality instantly improves. Also when I make or receive any calls in my car the quality is so tremendously bad that I can not understand a word of what the other person is saying. If I switch back to the normal handset via the in call menu on my phone, the call quality improves again.
Am I the only one out there with issues like this? And If not, has anyone found a way around this issue or know of what should be done?
(I know this isn't a Q&A forum, but I was not able to locate a section for Q&A on the smartwatch)

Here no problem with the smartwatch 2, htc one and parrot bluetooth car kit. Maybe your phone needs custom kernel or rom for optimised bluetooth emissions.

Sometimes my phone doesn't connect anymore to my car Bluetooth, untill I switch off my watch! When I then switch my watch back on it does not connect to the phone anymore.
This behaviour is intermittent so difficult to troubleshoot. What seems to help is to reboot my phone, so maybe it is phone related (HTC One X+).

I only have problems when I get out of reach BT wise. Mostly they reconnected but when they don't I have to unpair, reboot both and pair from start. Luckily it doesn't happen too often

I have exactly the same problem! I have the note 3 on att and a 2012 Audi Q5. I noticed it was only an issue when I receive a call...and shutting off the watch doesn't help.
I realize that this is because as long as I am on the call, the phone is sending a signal to the watch (keeping the number on the watch face). Even if I turn off the watch, the phone is still sending. The caller's voice is totally garbled. If I turn off the bluetooth, audio quality to the phone is fine. This is a killer for the watch! I can't use it in the car! If it only rang but didn't keep the info on the screen, it would be fine. I wonder if there is an app out there that will buzz the phone when the call comes in but then stop transmitting to the watch.
I guess I could turn off the phone handling app.. but that would defeat the purpose of the watch.
Does ANYONE have an idea how to fix this? I am at my wits' end!

If you mean that you have switched the SW2 completely off, in this case sending is clearly not possible, bluetooth is an handshaked protocol....

I have switched it off.. Eventually the distortion clears. Maybe the interference continues a bit because the car - phone bluetooth connection was somehow altered by the watch transmission?
I don't know how these things work but the distortion of the voice only happens when the watch is connected!
I am amenable to any suggestions.

Probably this is due to concurrent BT connections limitations or reciprocal radio interferences, or to a BT stack overload in one of those devices (likely the phone that has to keep 2 connections going at the same time).

If the source of the problem should lie in the phone BT, the Sony SW2 couldn't be blamed.

not sure what you are saying. I have an issue that has something to do with the watch, phone and car interface. I am looking to the people on this board for suggestions. You telling me that I shouldn't blame the watch and rolling your eyes is not helpful.

My personal advise is that probably the first (and only) workaround to try could be to change or modify the phone that apparently has some problems with double BT connections.

I stream, and take calls in my truck, with no issue in sound quality. How can Sony be blamed... are the supposed to account for every app combination, Bluetooth drivers, roms ect? Now its possible u have a defect.... if it was a detrimental design flaw I think a high percentage of us would experience the same, n that's just not the case....

I totally agree, but for somebody it's apparently too hard to believe...

I have 3 Bluetooth audio devices: car kit, Bluetooth speaker and Bluetooth stereo headphones.
The car kit and speaker work fine when the watch is connected but the headphones (Blueant X5) stutter while playing music and behave badly when trying to talk on a call. If I disable Bluetooth on the watch, it works fine.
I wonder if it's related to the Bluetooth version of the respective devices. Both the car kit and speaker are much newer than the old headphones.
Maybe your issue is similar. Do you have access to another phone you could test the watch against?

I suspect that if a device (for ex. a phone or a headset) hasn't at least Bluetooth version "3.0 + HS" (released in 2009) it's likely to have problems keeping 2 BT connections correctly working at the same time.

The car is a 2011. The watch and phone are state of the art....
I installed call handling pro which allows me to limit the number of seconds the watch displays info on an incoming call. This secondarily limits the time this phone-watch communication disrupts the voice bluetooth communication between phone and car. It has helped. The downside is that, when not in the car, I lose some of the benefit of the watch. I'm ok with the tradeoff. It is a workaround.

Problem pairing with a smartwatch

Hi,
I recently purchased a Huawei Honor Band Zero smartwatch and pairing it with the P8000 is a pain in the ass. I may have tried around 100 times (no exaggeration) and I managed to get it just once. But then, once I got too far from the phone while wearing the watch and it disconnected, I haven't been able to pair the two again.
I've tried with my previous phone, a Xiaomi Redmi 1S, and they pair every time in seconds. Then I can send data from the watch to the phone, and setup the watch from the phone.
I asked @BlueFlame4, author of the visi0nary kernel, whether this could be solved at the kernel level (along with other bluetooth related issues, such as music skipping over BT) and he thinks that maybe the BT stack is messed up, but the solution could be hard to achieve.
Well, today I've been trying again and have discovered a difference between the Redmi 1S and the P8000. When I turn on BT on the Redmi 1S, the watch appears as both a known and paired device. If I tap the device's settings button I can see an input device profile I can activate or not on the phone, such as BT headsets showing audio and voice profiles or options to share phone contacts. Well, on the P8000, I see no box to set up the watch as an input profile. But I remember seeing it the only time the watch paired correctly with the phone.
How can this be possible? Any way (the phone is rooted, so I can do almost anything) to get it working like it does with the Redmi 1S?
Thanks.

You have to look for this setting at your watch not at the phone.

Just got the Huawei 55020533 (not sure how else to identify it). I have Bluetooth turned on and set to Play Phone Audio on Watch. I've checked every volume setting to make sure it's at its loudest. I should say I'm hard of hearing, but I can hear the alarms and other sounds, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if I'm just SOL. Any help?
[SOLVED] I had an app on my phone called Auto Speaker that was interfering. Works great now.

will it not conflict when connecting the phone to the audio system of the car with that setting?
Update: apparently not as it is working fine

In my experience, yes and no. I have to manually connect it to my car each time (select the H/U in BT settings). Once connected it's fine. I didn't have that issue on my G Watch R or any other Android Wear (Moto 360, G Watch). My old Gear S2 had that issue but that watch was garbage. I'm going to look into a Bluetooth management app to see if I can prioritize my stereo higher than the Huawei Watch. Even with that issue, it's a great watch.
I've only had this watch for a week or so but so far I'm pretty happy with it. It looks great, there's a nice selection of aftermarket bands that look good for a reasonable price. Calls aren't as loud as I'd like but they're fine when there's no background noise. Playing music on this watch sounds nearly as good as my phone. It seems louder/cleaner than phone calls. I haven't tried any roms yet but they're coming soon. I like to give stock a chance for a week or so before modifying.
My only complaint is I wish it was a little thinner like my GWR was.
