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.

For LG G2 Mini (D618 variant) it does not support USB on-the-go.

Thank you Zyper. I really appreciate your response. So that means, only the LTE version (qualcom snappdragon and nvidia tegra processor) supports it. Hmm seems great. Though GSM arena's review shows that it does not support it. Anyway, no need for me to have it rooted/bootload the g2 mini.
So can I use any type of USB otg cord?

I dont think LG G2 Mini (D620r - LTE) supports OTG either.

Oh I see. Thank you for the information. So in short, USB OTG is not supported for any lg g2 mini versions.
I saw a post somewhere saying that you'll have to bootload the g2 mini to enable OTG support? Is this true?

Hi guys,
Any suggestion on MHL adapter/cable working well with G3?
I have one (oem) that I used to use it with my old OneX but it is not working with the G3.

Judging by what you're saying it shows, you are compatible, Android Wear is compatible with 4.3 and above. However if your phone only has Bluetooth 3.0 support and not 4.0LE you'll see some battery drain outside the normal amount specified by both users of the device and the manufacturer. This is because 4.0LE maintains a link with the device without actively being connected to it causing it to use less power to communicate, 3.0 lacks this ability so your phone would need to keep an active link with the watch at all times.
That being said, don't let that discourage you from getting it, your phone is completely compatible as it is now and should give you an alright experience with the device. I personally love my LG G Watch and feel that it's the best purchase I've made in a long time.
thank you so much fantastic answer admins can close the thread
How to make the LGs Dual Screen Case work with other phones? There's always a way for everything with Android. I found a development page for the dual screen on LGs site but I don't know how to go about any of that yet. Maybe on rooted phones it would be easier to figure out or does it have to be written into the software? Thank you guys!

Dual screen case won't work for other phones.
Also this isn't the right section to post this.
It's using HDMI 1.4 slimport by Analogix
Could you use G8X dual case on V50 Thinq (one that is already set up for dual screen)?
Can you get it to work with other phones ? Older LG thinQ phones like the v35?
Naah. It surely won't work. Even if anything lights up the second screen somehow, a custom rom like that of LG's would be needed to use the same
The most you could do is mirror your screen and cant use it as seperate screen.

It will works fine bro U just need USB 4 SUPPORTED device or any Smartphone that capable Display output via USB port like all Samsung Flagships
U can use Samsung Galaxy S9 or any other Flagship Samsung with that dual screen and you will definitely get all benefits of Samsung Dex
I have my gaming monitor that have type c display input when i plug my Samsung Galaxy S9 to my monitor via type c to type c cable and it Works with My monitor
LG phones should works fine with any Type c input monitor and projectors
I don't have G8X to test but it will works fine :good:
It wont work.

tried v30 and v40
I've tried putting G8X DualScreen case onto v40, V50 korea, v50 us, v30, v50s
Only v50 korea shows usb connection, power supply mode
But the screen, charging, buttons don't work at all
Also you need matching firmware
G8X DualScreen case (v515) works with 901lg & v50s
Velvet DualScreen cases (g905 and g915) for example doesn't work with each other
hhy does anybody know hhow the dualscreen works? try to get it running on my crdroid rom but onnly butttons andd usb conneeection works for now
Can we create an app that would replace the need for the LG ROM or Firmware?
I recognize this is an old thread, but some of the questions here are still valid. I've been using a G8X with Dual Screen for the past year and a half and have no current plans to change up. This phone rocks and is still going strong.
If I understand correctly, the GX8 Dual Screen case is compatible with the V50S (not V50), right?
I'd like to get a V50S for the 5G capability, but keep using my Dual Screen case.

It is, the V50s is pretty much identical to the G8X, but it has more RAM and storage. The 5G is not very well supported, for starters it's the 2.5G variant, 41 NSA that works in some networks in Canada, US (T-Mobile), Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China and Thailand. It also has a smaller selection of languages and you cannot root it without breaking the fingerprint reader (the fixing hack does not work on the V50s as it never had the Android 9 version that has the bug needed to fix it). It does work well with the Dual Screen case thou, and as a Korean model you get the FM radio and the built-in call recording feature that's missing from the US G8X.
Wow, that's great info @zdanee , thank you! The more I look into it the less likely it becomes. While the larger storage and RAM are appealing, I'm on Verizon and wouldn't be able to use the 5G. Plus it has LTE Cat 19 vs the G8X Cat 20 so it has slower data speeds in general.
Thank you again for your insight!
So I'm familiar with windows systems, I'm not familiar with Android, but I know in Windows it's part of the operating system or graphics drivers that says " I have a main monitor, now I see a second monitor. Let's use it. Hey there's another mouse, let's use that."
I'm curious if software could be written to support this or if it's something that would have to be written into the kernel?
I tried to do it and ended up with my DS bricked.
See if this helps you in any way.
