Hi guys
I have a SE X10 Mini running nAa-10 kernel & MiniCM7-2.1.8 (I know, i have to upgrade )
I'd like to buy SE LiveView (link: is.gd/bhkElm) but before i wanna know if anyone else use this item and if you like or dislike it or maybe there is the possibility to flash kernel or install custom ROM.
You know, general information. And how it works with X10 Mini, battery drain etc
TY
Greetings from Italy
LiveView is in general very nice device, BUT! LV disconnects almost all time... I had one (until dog bites it apart ), idea of remote display on your wrist is great if you forgive some issues... I'm now waiting for Sony SmartWatch (LiveView 2) to came on Czech market. Decision is clear for me now

Hi,
Currently I've got a xperia mini pro and now I wanted to know, if the xperia sola is a good phone. I think the specs are good and the price (ca 250€ in germany) is good, too.
But what do you think? I just want to root it, no bootloader unlock, no other firwares, for something like that I've got my mini pro. Just wanna play games, listen to music, use nfc tags and want a well running system.
Is there another phone, you could suggest me, which costs about 250€?
Thx in advance
Michael
Its an awesome phone..butter smooth....the camera is great. You can also show your friends some magic (Floating Touch)
Okay my brother will get one this evening so I can test it! Thanks :good:
One of the features I'm looking to use on the Xperia Z Ultra is ANT+ wireless sensors for cycling. The specs for this phone state that this is a feature yet my new phone does not seem to have ANT+. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
Dave
Check the Play Market.
Yeah, I've tried installing the ANT+ radio service from the Play market but it will not work. I have an Xperia Active with ANT+ and it works perfectly and is easy to setup new connections.

I'm having the exact same problem... when I open mapmyride I can only see the sensor for BT Heatrate straps but nothing for Ant+
Specs for the new Xperia Z1 indicate that it also has ANT+. Hopefully Sony will enable this on our phones soon.

Hi Guys,
I'm also an avid cyclist using Garmin Ant+ heartbelt direct to my trusty old wornout Xperia S and also Xperia Ion too.
Many say BT4.0 LE still has cutoff issues, and Ant+ batt last forever in heartbelt.....
I understand from speaking to shops that the LTE version has Ant+, but many said the 3G version does not. The SnapDragon 800 does have Ant+ feature in chip, there was some debate if 3G version uses this chip. Sony really should fully enable these by firmware if possible.
PS: The bluetooth signal needs to be switched on to enable Ant+.
Hope any of you could provide your experience of workability or lack off, thanks.
Bump. Still no ANT+ after the .526 update.
If anyone with a new C6833 4G phone is able to test ANT+ functionality for me it would be greatly appreciated.
as you know guys kitkat is low end friendly
and ics is the latest official firmware
and cm11 is nearly bugless
share your opinion :silly:
i tried cm11 on xperia p (by androdevlinux, Google: "Cyanogenmod 11 androdevlinux")
great rom so far, works very well, but has a serious limitation for me:
does not support Bluetooth A2DP and does not support Bluetooth tethering.
i need the first for my bluetooth headset and the latter for the gps device in my car :crying:

Just received the telephone the day before yesterday. Tried to get my HRM to couple to the device, to no avail. Looking into the problem with ANT+ tester, I discovered ANT HAL is completely missing (the ANT HAL service is present though)! WTF?
Sony advertises this phone as being ANT+ capable, but clearly it's not (yet!). I've contacted Sony about this, and are awaiting for their reply...
You mean you sent a message into the void, don't you?
Definitively sent from somewhere.

Afraid so yes... But miracles do happen still...
Maybe you got a test or demo unit. ?

I'm about to buy this phone but the missing ANT+ support is stopping me to do so.
It is obvious that ANT+ support on Z5 series is missing. Neither the tech specs on the sony product page show ANT+ under connectivity nor the device list of the ANT+ consortium (http://www.thisisant.com/directory/) lists the Xperia Z5 devices. All previous Xperia devices were shown immediately after the release day on this list.
For me this looks like Sony has dropped ANT+ support. Maybe they try to make pressure on Garmin to lower the license cost for ANT+. Who knows.

That would be disturbing. But a bit strange though, since ANT+ tester shows full ANT+ hardware and ANT HAL service etc. being present in the phone.
Reply from Sony on my enquiry was of course to throw back more questions to me and giving stupid advice like "repair your phone with out PC Companion software". When I checked this suggestion, just out of curiosity, the Z5 series wasn't even supported in this software, can you imagine? Fail, fail, fail.
Yeah looks like they crippled/removed ANT+ support in the last minute before release, maybe they missed to pay the license I really hope ANT+ support will be added with the next update.

That is a ridiculous move if they've dropped ant

Well, here in the Netherlands I don't even get replies from the Sony reps anymore. I've been exchanging FB messages with support, but all they do is refer to this stupid PC Companion software, which obviously can't solve the problem (especially since my Z5c is going completely crazy when I try to connect it to Win10 through USB. It's impossible to get a stable connection with the computer)...
As a "solution" I've now bought a dual-band HRM strap (Bluetooth and ANT+ capable) which set me back another 60 euros. Still better than having to wait for Sony to fix the problem they've created themselves, because that can take a long while, if ever!

none of mobile producers will admin that they released software with gaps, i expect this to be fixed in the new update
no update from sony yet, no ANT+ dedicated services installed by default
Surely the z5c is equipped with ANT+ h/w, just for whatever reason Sony haven't activated it into the current firmware... Correct? Or the device totally not equipped for ANT+?

I hope Z5 line is ANT+ equipped as per official specs but not enabled yet due to certification process not completed (as devices still not visible on thisisant website)
I have return mine today and asked for replacement (white unit)
Strange as in store Z5c had no problems detecting my suunto hrm

software.
Frequency band 2.4 GHz
Data transfer rate Up to 60 Kbps
Encryption AES-128

Actually other units in store were detecting my Hrm (even white) so there should be something eromg with my unit.

Just checked https://www.thisisant.com/directory/
Z5C and Z5 Premium are actually listed now. But very strange that the (standard) Z5 is not listed.
Guys, everything you need to connect ANT+ device is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.plugins.antplus
and basic app to check if it works (assuming you have ANT+ device connected) is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.hrmon_antplus
AFAIR the same situation was with Z3C. I installed two first apps and connected my old Garmin HRM. With Endomondo (free) is working like a charm. You need only to activate in Endomondo options.
