Sony Ericsson LiveView™ Issues

---

Hey is there anyone out there also having strange connection issues on Sony Ericsson's LiveView ?

I'm running a HTC Hero with the latest cyanogenmod.

I can pair the device in the setting. The display always just displays 0:00 AM.
when i try to connect in the software it always is listed as disconnected. when i try do build a connection from liveview side (upper left button) it's showing an animation that it's connecting to the phone. the led on the top left starts turning green, then the display freezes and it falls back to displaying 0:00 AM (and not being connected).

when i tap on the listed device in the software (guessing that you connect it that way) the second line saying "disconnected" disapears for a bit, around 5 sec., and then comes back as disconntected.

i once but only once managed to get it working somehow. DON'T ASK HOW, MAGIC, Star constalation, nobody knows, i randomly hit connect on both sides and it turned out to work that one time.

when working the time display on liveview show the actual time on the phone the display and you get all the notifications you could wish for. But at some point i had to reboot and it work never again =(

i had in mind that the my bluetooth headset (also sony ericsson, mw600 nice piece btw., loving it) might intervene somehow but it worked nicly, both at the same time.

please does anyone have an idea?!
really getting frustrated, had such high hopes in that device and really was looking forward to write some cool apps and plugins for it but now ...

First off where did you buy it?

got mine since yesterday, bought on phonehouse website in France.

Several issues for me to , on HTC Desire / Froyo 2.2 non rooted

I didnt fond any trouble to connect it to my phone but then :

First day of use : several crashes and slow down of my phone
forced to remove the battery of the phone... bad feeling

Second day of use : Left physical button is no more responding !!!
(my device falled down from my desk, 1 meter high...I wonder if it comes from this)

Impossible to empty the liveview's cache, even if the application says "all notifications are now removed" they still are in the device memory...got almost 200 since yesterday.

what is working now ? :

all facebook & twitter notifications, calls history, RSS, volume up, volume down.
I didnt received sms yet so i cannot tell, and track seeking does not work.

I wrote to SE about my left button who doesnt work any more...

My order should be here on Monday. Can't wait
