Liveview connection issues with Xperia arc.

---

Ive had the liveview a while now and it was working perfectly fine with a motorola Defy. Ive recently bought a Xperia arc and now it disconnects every 15-20 minutes. The only way to get it to reconnect is to unlock the screen. The phone and liveview have the most up to date software according to SEUS and the liveview app is the latest from the market.

Has anyone else had issues or does anyone know if theres a work around?

edit : ah crap, this was meant to be in general - could it be moved?

I do this 3 steps:

-1º step
-Using Root Explorer, apply the Fivef Process (this seems to be needed only for non-Sense 2.3.x ROMs - looks like Sense in 2.2 builds allows LV to connect without confirmation).

copy this file with e.g. root explorer to your SD card. edit it with e.g. astro as described below and then copy it back with root explorer. Restart your device.

/data/misc/bluetoothd/[device bt id]/linkkeys

your linkkeys file has to look something like that:

00:1D:BAD:8C:57 FF579860A41CD5A627D9D1596526715C 0 4
00:01:95:08:20:6F 809CC84592E6C1B06AB750170C365812 0 4
6C:23:B9:9B:4A:85 5AF503E766858EA7916D46C16DD31A34 0 4

The last entry is my liveview.
I just changed the last two numbers from I think
-1 0 to 0 4 so that it looks like the other entries.
The 0 is the linkkey type and the 4 the pin lenght.
But I don't know what the 0 stands for.
Have no time for futher research.

I just know that now the liveview automatically reconnects without an annoying pairing prompt.

-2º Step
- Find in the market & install the BEST Android program I've seen yet - "AutomateIt!"
- Create the following rule in this program:
-TRIGGER: BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED (LIVEVEW)
-ACTION: START APPLICATION (LIVEVIEW)
Using this incredible program, you can completely control every aspect of your phone's behavior - for example, automatically start PlayerPro and disable WiFi when wired headset is connected, automatically start WiFi when GPS detects that you have entered your home or office (!) and do million other cool things.

-3º Step
-Install liveviewcharm from market:
This application will maintain processes from "liveview app" always on, preventing android system to kill them.The LiveView app needs to put itself in the Notifications bar in order to keep from getting killed when it's in the background.

I think that guide will fix all liveview connection problems with all compatible devices and CM7/MIUI/STOCK.
