Anybody successfully using a wearable device with the AM2?
I'd love to get the Sony SmartWatch 3 because you can use it as a gps/run tracker and music player without needing the phone nearby. However, I don't think it's compatible with the AM2.

Wearables work fine. I have the lg g watch. But because the phone isn't getting updated anymore with Google's 18 month rule the Android wear app won't get updates after April 2015 so I'm guessing it would still work but you wouldn't get the features from newer Android wear releases.

O dont. Think app updates and os updates are cut with the same knife..
I think that as long it's Bt 4.0. And android 4.3 + can be compatible ..
More like I hope hahah

Just got ham2. Only problem I have with the g watch is music controls don't work. Guessing its a jelly bean thing. Got an app for the watch that works.
Using and loving my pebble watch in conjunction with my HAM2. Two beasts when it comes to battery life. The pebble has enhanced my experience with this phone.
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.

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

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.

can confirm no issues in .32 firmware
This is ridiculous. I bought the freebuds hoping to get the best experience from having same branded phone and earphones. The results were disappointing to say the least. The buds sounded just ok on the phone and i thought i'll update them and hope for the best. To my surprise the mate 20 pro could not find the freebuds to update them. I then decided to try with my HTC u11 Plus. Not only did it recognize them immediately and managed to update them but the sound quality while using my HTC was far superior and i was actually impressed by the freebuds. I then swapped back to the mate 20 pro and was still unable to get them recognized by the freebud app and the sound quality was once again just ok at best. I did have the freebud app set to manual in app launch with everything enabled and still nothing.
The app doesn't work for some reason, I updated the firmware via a different device
Same issue
Hi,
I can confirm the same issue. They need to update the Freebuds Assistant app big time. It's really bad to start with, and now doesn't work with the latest Huawei flagship(Mate 20 pro)!
I'm waiting for Freebuds 2 from China, I jsut hope they'll update the Google Play app to support it, I think I've read something about a Freebuds 2 app, but that was reported as being only available in the Huawei China own appstore.
It doesn't work with the Mate 20 Pro, I tried on my old Nexus 10 tablet didn't work, then I tried it on a Lenovo tablet and it didn't update but said " now you have the latest version"

I'm using a Sony WI-C400 Bluetooth Stereo Headset. I've been trying out if my Poco will find it but has failed. I've tried using a Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro to find my Poco but it's still not found.
Is this a normal thing in Xiaomi EU? If it is, are there any fixes for it?
I have the same problem with my car Bluetooth. The phone can be recognized, but pairing fails. Probably the phone, as my previous Xiaomi phone was paired with no problem. Hope it is fixed with an update soon.
Hello xda community.. I have one little problem with my jack or idk. If I plug headphones to my phone (jack 3,5), it play music via speakers.. Where can be problem ? before 2-3 days works well and today. I have a P10 Lite (try a lot of ROMs but on every ROM didn't work).
One note : I try a app "Lesser audiswitch" only then it works well, but how it's possible ? Thanks for any help, idea to fix it.
It not problem with headphones because on another PC, phones works well !
