Hi,

U are not the only who has this issue. Sony is still looking for the solution.
If you root the phone and delete the liveware app after that download the newest, it would work without problems.
Otherwise there is no official solution yet.
I went to a repair centre and they downgraded to gb from ics because I couldn't use my smartwatch...

I'm considering getting a LiveView watch off ebay, and was wondering if it's compatible with ICS. Now I've seen this thread I might bite the bullet and get one for £19.95 they seem a bargain.

That is cheap. It is compatible but so far none of the plugins seems to compatible with ics on any ics device due to the liveview application so its from sonys side. But its still useful. Ive been getting texts which ive been checking during my training at work.

The easiest way is to root then use link to sd to convert LiveWare Manager to a user app, update from Play Store then convert back to a System app. That's what I did, mow just waiting for my LiveView to get delivered by Mail Man.

I've been using my LiveView with my Arc S since I fully charged it, and with the LiveView Charm app installed and started on the Arc S I've only had connection dropouts when I've strayed to far away from my phone. The lack of compatability with ICS on the Plugin front is a pain, but since the LiveView has a decent digital Watch screensaver and as far as I can tell all the stock Plugins that come with the LiveView work, I know to the All events tile, Text messages tile, Facebook tile & Find phone tile works. Not too sure about the Missed calls tile as I've not had any missed walls since I've been using the LiveView, the only tile that doesn't seem to be working is the Calendar tile.

i have Xperia Arc S and live view watch and the connection keep drop when not using the watch on ICS 4.04 ,even when the watch in the range of the mobile Bluetooth .

its ugly thing that you need to re-establish connection every half hour , it make the watch kind of useless object .

Ive purchased an app called liveview manager and it kinda prevents the drop issue. I mean its once every couple of hours even then its very rare
