[P] LiveView + SXP is it possible? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello, i received as a gift a brand new LiveView watch (not the smartwatch), and im giving hell to connect it with my xperia p (non-rooted, everything stock, not even any pirate apps or games) so basically my question is how to connect that bloody watch to my xperia?
I spent whole day to make it work, i can tell u what problems i have so far:
1. connected for 2 hours, somehow the LiveView Application stopped working in my pocket- disconnected
2. Reinstalled the app and the plugins (music, camera and txt), rebooted the phone- still the problem persist
3. Now when i try to connect both devices (pairing them), as long as i hold the right key (select/back/connect key) everything is fine, if i release it, get the SE logo, and the watch turns off. it is fully charged, the phone as well, i got them paired in bluetooth menu in settings..

Odp: [P] LiveView + SXP is it possible?

Sony Xperia Z; cannot boot OS after root, keeps loading (until battery goes off)

Yesterday I rooted my phone. All went well. Installed ViPER4Android. While listening music through Bluetooth device, I wanted to activate ViPER4Android. The music started to play through the speaker although bluetooth connection was not lost. I reconnected, but still the same. I restarted the phone; It did not load. Actually, it kept loading (you know, classic Xperia waves). I made a hard reset: Power + Volume Up. Still no result.
Question: How can I fix the problem?
Note: I am not worried about any data on my phone.
If you can help but have no desire to register in the forum, write me on Twitter @amasimli, or send me an email [email protected].
Thank you.

Laptop won't read Xperia Z2 (or viceversa) - Xperia Companion won't work!!!

Hello, I am a new member and fairly new to all of this (Not very tech savvy). I looked for a similar question but couldn't find one, so I hope I am not re-posting a question already made.
Ever since the Marshmallow update to my Xperia Z2 I've been having lots of problems with it. The WiFi connection is very very faulty (even when standing next to the router), the camera acts up often, the device freezes often, apps stop working and close on their own, and a myriad of other problems; however what bothers me the most is the fact that the Xperia Z2 can't connect to my laptops or PC or any other device that I tried to connect it to (12 in total - so I know its not my laptop). The phone does charge when connected to the laptop, but I can't transfer files to or from the laptop. I should also mention that the Xperia Companion stopped working on my laptop and when I connect the phone to the laptop I get the option to try and install the software to the "device" but when I run it, I always get an error message. I downloaded the Xperia companion from the official Sony Site, but it still won't read the phone.
I have turned on (and off) the USB debugging mode and (like I said the phone charges only when USB Debugging mode is on) but the devices won't read the phone.
I tried contacting Sony Support but they never replied to any of my emails.
Has anyone gone through the same type of problems? if so, were you able to fix it?
Thanks for the time and help!
P.S. Happy Holidays to everyone! =D

XZ1 and bluetooth

How is bluetooth doing?
I preordered it a couple of weeks ago but I am a little bit worried about. I still can withdraw the order.
I have Sony's SBH54, Bose QC35 and a Peugeot 2008 car stereo, just to explain the case.
Thanks for the help.

Has anyone said there is issues with Bluetooth? I don't have Bluetooth in my car anymore but I had issues sending some files
Sent from my Sony Xperia XZ1 using XDA Labs
It has been reported by one fellow on the Sony's forum but he was the only one. He talked about car stereo on a bmw x1.
Curiously, symptoms was similar to the nexus' oreo Bluetooth problem.
I suggested him to get in touch with the car dealer but when I found the nexus thread I became a little bit worried: I have to drive a lot for commuting and I need noise cancellation at work, hence car stereo and qc35.
I had a Z5 and recently bought the XZ1. I use bluetooth on my car stereo on a daily basis and never had issues with the Z5.
The XZ1 however, is a hit and miss. It would connect fine but sometimes it either won't display media information or I won't be able to use media controls on my car stereo. Most of the time it would work just fine.
A solution which worked has been setting AVCRP to version 1.4 by developer options under the Bluetooth section.
QC35 are still to be tested because they've been sent to service, but car stereo and Sony SBH54 are fine.
I've already reported the solution to Sony's tech support.
XZ1 compact here.
No problems with my QC35, also no problem with my old car's bluetooth handsfree system (2005).

Old things used to be built better.
Thanks for the QC35 check.
I have noticed delays connecting initially to devices but fine after. I have noticed connection issues though with the new "near bluetooth" protocol. I can't connect to a Roomba Braava Jet at all.
Just found this, trying to test as we speak.

I have no problems using my xz1 with my srs-x11 and my peugeot 208 Bluetooth system. Mine works fine
XZ1 Compact Bluetooth complete failure
I have issues with all Bluetooth devices I regularly used with my previous phone. That includes a few portable bluetooth speakers like Ion Plunge or Philips PixelPop (connects but music does not play, hit or miss, had to forget and reconnect the devices manually almost every time), 3 different brand car bluetooth handsfrees including Volkswagen Go! bluetooth system, Opel Vauxhall integrated bluetooth, Renault Traffic integrated bluetooth. On car bluetooth either information is not displayed on the screen or device cannot be controlled from the car controls, sometimes when autoconnected to Volkswagen Go I see mute sign on the screen when my phone is not muted and music supposed to be playing. So much frustration considering that I got used to not having any issues with my old iPhone that I personally hated for many other reasons.
In case you guys haven't seen yet, there's various fixes coming with android's november update that should address most, if not all of those issues.
EDIT: I stand corrected, the mentioned updates are for the Nexus/Pixel devices, though I'm sure they'll be integrated into the Xperia device's software as well eventually.
I don't know where to put this, but this is the first thread that shows up on Google so I'll put it here.
I have had nothing but issues pairing my phone to the radio on my Hyundai Elantra. The headunit would report that it pairs successfully, but my XZ1 compact would never actually connect. Eventually "ELANTRA" would appear in my phone and the only Bluetooth feature available is Contact Sharing.
A few weeks ago some random method of me pairing and unpairing got it to work and I left it alone. I recently had to wipe my phone and start over, so I had to figure out how to pair this stupid thing again. I took note of what I did so I could share for others (and for myself when I have to wipe my phone in the future).
Delete all stored devices on your phone and headunit, and then go through the pairing process again. At the moment you successfully type in the Bluetooth pin code and hit pair, kill the power to the headunit. In my case, the radio lady was in the middle of saying "pairing complete" when I turned the key off.
The phone should switch from "Pairing" to "connecting", at which point you can turn the key back on. It should finish pairing and connect.
Hopefully this helps someone
I have a plantronics BT headset paired to my XZ1 compact and it kept disconnecting and reconnecting the next second. Sometimes the BT would show that is is connected but when i make a call, it isn't connected to the BT headset. I emailed support and follow their instructions below and still have the same problem, anybody experiencing the same? Hope there is a solution to fix this problem soon.
Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.

Like the others I also have problem with the Bluetooth after updating to Android 9 on my XZ1.
The problem is on my car Head unit, I can play song thorugh Bluetooth without any problems but when I receive a phone call or make a call although Bluetooth is still turned on but the voice come from the phone and sometimes it switches between the head unit and the phone repeatedly so I have to turn the Bluetooth off and answer the phone. About Bluetooth Avrcp which is on 1.6, some said if you put it on 1.4 might fix the problem but it didn't. And I also checked the avrcp For Android 8 is also on 1.6 and I never had such problems on Android 8. This all happened after updating to 9.
It's been months I'm searching for a solutions and I'd be grateful if someone could help.
