So how much longer have we got to put up with the non working Liveview ?

I am getting frustrated with the lack of support from SE regarding the Liveview on anything other than Sony phones.
so much so that i thought i would write a scenario as follows
A good friend pops in to see me , sees the LV
Whats that he asks ?
Oh it's a Liveview, it displays messages , vibrates on calls etc
What does it do? , so i would press the button and it displays the connection screen,
Whats that ?, it's just a connection screen it displays when it loses connection
Does that happen a lot ?, yep fraid so but someone from sony knows that it does this on non sony phones and they said they would look into it
Any news on when ?, To be honest i dont think that they actually are as we have nothing for ages
But when it's disconnected does it still vibrate etc, NO
sony do say it's compatible on the website with the HTC Desire but i suppose opinions differ, everyone other than SE thinks it means it works but they think it should just connect for a short while.
hold on i'll just restart everything , ok there
Can i try it, yep here you go
I'll call the phone and you can see what it does (calls phone)
did you feel it vibrate , Was that it just one tiny vibrate, yep but you can sometimes feel it when it's on your wrist, sony said they will look into that too but same as before not heard anything.
can you upgrade it ?, Yep SE have released a firmware upgrade 6 months ago but nothing since
whoa it just popped out of the clip, yep it does that but SE have released a new version that fixes that.
oh when do you get that , err i dont, SE seem to have no idea its out.
so if i buy one i can get the new version, dont know as most stores still seem to have the older one in stock.
i assume that you can get the new one from sony ?, err no, no-one from sony seems to know it exists, i have asked about it but again no news
but surely that's a design fault so even if you could buy one it should be supplied free, err yep but it's SE so i won't hold my breath.
so hold on this Liveview does not work with the phones it is advertised for, even when it is connected it does not vibrate properly and it has a design fault that although fixed is not available to buy let alone supplied for free, what a complete waste of time
Yep
See where this is going ?
this could and should have been an excellent product but at the moment it's a complete waste of time
there are reported workarounds about but the liveview software is awful and when having to autostart it it outs a big OK Button you have to press on the screen before you can use the Liveview or the Phone. and of course while disconnected it does not work
The Design faulty Watch Clip should be replaced FOC
And the virtually non existant support should be better than yes we know this is an issue ill pass it onto someone else that will bury it away.
If it states on the SE website that it works with certain phones then make sure it does and fix it
have we got recourse for refunds from SE under the trade descriptions Act ?
Please fix these issues

Well it seems that SE have sprung into action and delivered a fix that only SE can do
they have now taken down all of the compatible devices and put this disclaimer instead
The Sony Ericsson product defined above is verified as able to  communicate via Bluetooth™ with devices from other manufacturers as  specified on this Web page. Sony Ericsson does not guarantee that use of  the device will be uninterrupted or error-free. The performance of this  Bluetooth™-enabled product with other devices not listed may vary,  because not all Bluetooth™ devices are compatible.
Brilliant fix ?????????
so now my question is that I have purchased this going by the info on the website at the time that it was compatible with the Desire
now SE have decided it is not compatible who do i contact for the full refund ?

  • Recently had to have our mac hd recovered.  Now I no longer have iPhoto.  Since it came with the mac when we purchased it, how can I get it restored without paying for it?

    We recently had to have our mac serviced and restored.  The hard drive was corrupted from an update.  The mac has been restored but we no longer have iPhoto.  The only option I see at Apple support is to purchase it again.  Is there a way I can get it back free of charge, since we already paid for it?

    You should be able to to to the App Store and download it again for free.  If often will show a price but when clicked on will revert to Installing and not cost you.

  • How much longer before wireless ThinkPad keyboard?

    How much longer do we have to wait for a wireless ThinkPad keyboard?
    Current ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint is ridiculously priced, considering it's on a wire, while you can buy a very decent wireless keyboard from Logitech for half the price. (I'm referring to the K340, which has quite a decent key-press experience.)
    Seriously, nowadays wireless keyboards are no rocket science, nor expensive to manufacture. Lenovo totally dropped the ball here. Or maybe Lenovo thinks its Lenovo-branded wireless keyboards are reasonable competition for the ThinkPad family? Well, either way, Logitech wins.
    Get your act together!
    Of course I realize I'm most likely talking to a wall. After all this is the company that has just released it's a top-shelf laptop family (X220) that lacks USB 3.0. And in the past - workstations for CG artists and CAD engineers (T61p) with a TN display and a D-Sub port. Also, 16:9 displays (i.e. a ratio useful only in movies) in business laptops.
    Seriously, you need to hire a new person for feature policy. Someone with common sense.

    I second that, third that and fouth that.  Instead Lenovo seems to be heading in the opposite direction w/ the latest USB keyboard dropping the UltraNav and keeping trackpoint only.  
    A wireless UltraNav would be a kick butt wireless accessory which I'd buy in a flat heartbeat.  Just think how useful it would be home theater setups or just in general... as I am having so many issues w/ my USB Ultranav and doc 3.
    My dentist office uses a wireless setup in each patient room and they have a wirelss keyboard and mouse.. you should see them using the mouse sometimes.  A wireless UltraNav is the best of both options! 
    If I could take the keyboard off my W510 and the fingerprint reader and integrate that into a wirelss ultranav.. then there's perfection.

  • How much longer before Lightroom 5.4 RC or update?

    The new ACR and DNG converter has been out several weeks. How much longer for Lightroom 5.4?
    I am about to go on an international trip with my Fujifilm X-T1, I could sure use the update.

    It is interesting that you are convinced LR 5.4 will be released when LR6 is imminent?  As you know once LR6 beta is released little will change in LR5 unless it is deemed vital.  LR4 was virtually abandoned when LR5 was released.  You will know when LR6 beta is approaching as there will be a degree of price dumping on LR5 - watch Amazon perhaps.  History suggests LR6 beta is anytime from April until September but my money is on soon.  Shelves have to be cleared of LR5 first though and obviously the LR6 beta ready.
    I have trawled the internet and so far little talk of LR6 and I suspect LR5 users will not be early uptakers unless they have an issue?  It is the new users and those with pre-LR5 (like me) that will be the early adopters.  LR4 cannot "see" or process Nikon D610 RAW files.  I doubt there will be an update ....... forcing me to drop LR, pre-process to DNG or upgrade.  The choice is mine.
    Like another poster I use LR4 as front-end to Photoshop.  LR is just not as good for screen real estate - perhaps a good change for LR6?

  • How much longer can an iMac G5 stay relevant?

    I have a 2ghz iMac G5 that I bought 6 years ago from Apple refurbished. It's been a great computer and it's still going.
    The OS is stuck at 10.5.8 and obviously I have not been able to upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion. I have the latest iTunes 10.5, but no iCloud support.
    But, it stil works. I am hesitant to get rid of it. It's starting to really get slow with the internet as no major browsers are still being updated for it. Safari is stuck at 5.0.6, Firefox at 3.6.23.
    How much longer should I expect to keep using it? Thoughts?

    I suggest you keep using it whilst it still does what you want.  I use my 2002 Powerbook G4 most days (even if just as an ad-hoc WiFi router for my iPad).  My 2003 iMac G4 does service only as a TV and iTunes player in the kitchen. 
    Most iCloud features are easily replicated with other free services; Dropbox for cloud storage and a Google account for calendars, contacts and IMAP email would be my initial recommendations. 
    With regards to the internet speed there is no magic bullet, but keep to the minimum the number of tabs you have open at any time in Safari/FF and install ClickToFlash - Flash being a common resource hog on the internet - you'll only miss a few animated/noisy adverts and if something you want to view in Flash you can click it to load Flash at that point.

  • How much longer until Reader 8.0 support???

    How much longer do we have to wait until ACF's can be used with Adobe Reader 8.0?  This is causing us some pain with our customers because they install Reader 8.0 only to find out that it does not support ACF. 
    Reader 8 has been out 4 months now, how much longer will it take?

    Krishanu,
    We have installed SP19 as mentioned in not 1036205 however we still get this error message from the ACF installer.  This is why I posted my original question as to when SAP will release a fix for the installer.
    <i>An unexpected situation has occured while downloading neccessary SAP components to your PC.
    Please have a look on the information given below.
    If this information is not sufficient to solve the problem please click on the 'Show developer traces' Button.

    That worries me because my internet browsers will eventually stop working when more they upgrade and my computer is still runing on Snow Leopard.
    Can anyone tell me how much longer I'll be able to keep this Mac before I have to replace it? It still works perfectly.

    Thanks for responding! so helpful! I was told by apple reps I can't upgrade to Lion and you stated the same thing but then you said if I 'move to lion 10.7' I would be able to?
    My firefox doesn't work very well on this computer it's really slow and doesn't load sometimes. and If I use tumblr it's even worse. I can't even scroll.
    My main concern is the browser upgrades. I want to make sure this computer can still be upgraded (so I can use netflix for at least another year or 2 etc etc)
    Lion is 10.7, Mountain Lion is 10.8.
    You should max out your RAM, but the Firefox issue may or may not be RAM related. If you restart and open no other applications but Firefox, do you still experience problems? If you don't, then it's most likely RAM related.
    It may be an Add-on responsible for the slow loading. Quit Firefox then reopen it in safe mode, by holding  down Option(alt). This will disable all Add-ons. If it appears to work better there, then you need to test by disabling each Add-on one by one to see which is the culprit.
    It may also be a corrupted Profile in your Firefox folder. Option-drag the entire Firefox Folder located in your user Library>Application Support. This will make a backup, which you can restore later. You will know it's copying when you see a small circle with a plus sign inside. Don't do this if that doesn't appear. There is a more elegant way to do this, but it may be trickier to get going than what I have suggested.
    Next, get a new Firefox application and install that. Doing this will create a new Firefox folder and Profile in that location. See how that one behaves. If it's better, then post back and I can tell you how to migrate things over from the old Profile. If it isn't, then just return the original Firefox folder to that location and allow it to replace the new one.
