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.
For that my friend I'd suggest Open Watch (you can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554551).Very dissapointed that it doesn't work with X10 though . Currently in communication with SE about why it doesn't work, no answers yet though.
can anyone confirm that the stock wrist strap can be replaced with custom one?
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.
Basically the liveview holder has no back so it can be pushed out from behind
can anyone confirm that the stock wrist strap can be replaced with custom one?
Good to hear it's functioning well. And as you guys say, future development with Apps could be promising.
I've had the MBW-150 watch with my previous Sony Ericsson mobiles. Very dissapointed that it doesn't work with X10 though . Currently in communication with SE about why it doesn't work, no answers yet though.
I can conform that U can put a custom one,
it costs about 3-4€ in ordynary watchmaker's store (see attachments pic.)
Batery life is not so good like in MBW-150. About 2 days for me.
I can't wait until someone make a plugins like Timer with vibrations on end or plugin to change vibration scheme for calls and others. TXT reader from specified folder would be nice too
sportypal pro works, but you have to update the SE live view app.
and you have to register and get a trial version of it,.
On the other hand, anyone is facing frequent disconnection of LiveView?
I also noticed that it doesn't reconnect automatically like the MBW watch. Any setting to make it reconnect by itself when phone is in range?
OpenWatch plugin: Could get it to work. Only get the X icon on top of the plugin on the LV device.
Eh, is it possible that this is one more unfinished product by SE? Sry to hear you broke yours.
How about battery lasting?
Would be interesting to get app the uses liveview as shutter for camera
