Galaxy Tab + Sony Live View - anyone tried it? - Galaxy Tab General

Hiya,
Just curious if anyone has connected the Sony Live View to a Samsung Galaxy Tab yet?
For some people (especially non S-E), they are having the Live View cause lockups on the host device, frequent BT disconnects, etc.
Reason I ask: I envision in a perfect world, carrying the Galaxy Tab all day in the briefcase/portfolio, using the Sony Live View to screen incoming calls/check alerts, then answer calls on a BT headset.
-Jayson

I just recieved my LiveView. I can connect it via Bluetooth to my GalaxyTab, but the LiveWare Manager does not find the LiveView.
Seems to be a special SE-Thing...
I'll try a little bit more, but I think I return it to amazon...

That's disappointing news. How can this not be compatible, I heard it's compatible with most android devices? I was thinking of getting one to use with my Tab/HTC Desire and to double as a watch as i'm in need of one.
So what's the deal?

It works fine, i tested it earlier, i have been using the liveview with my x10i for the last 2 weeks and now its on the tab for a few days. You download the liveview application, you dont have to download the liveview manager. To connect the liveview you need the liveview application off the market. I get better range with the liveview tab setup, must be better bluetooth on the tab. Works fine, im on european jk5 firmware.

Do all the features work? Media player control? RSS etc?

no, working are: facebook, twitter, sms, find phone. The media player only controls volume. The downloaded weather plugin works fine. Downloaded gmail plugin works fine. I assume there will be a galaxy tab music plugin as there already is a htc music player plugin. Im not sure which rss reader works with the liveview.
The good thing is its easy to switch between tab or x10i for the live view.

Thanks for the info. If I was to use it with my Tab, I'd have no interest other than in music controls and RSS, and GMail. I don't, and never will use the tab as a phone, it's huge.

Will the LiveView show the name of incomming callers, or will it just like the mw600 headset just show the number of who is calling?
EDIT: I went and bought one a few hours after posting this questions so now I can answer it myself. It show both name and number of the caller.

DONE! thx all!

samsung tab crash every 10-15 minutes (every BT refresh time?)
hi everyone,
I use my Liveview connected to my Samsung TAB.
Facebook WORK! RSS WORK! Twitter WORK! Gmail (plug in from market) WORK!
everithing WORKS fine but just for 10-15 minute!!! after that time my TAB crash! (very,very slow... it will block!!!)
pls note that I put a refresh time on my TAB exactly every 15 minute...
Any idea/suggestion?

Do any one more than me experience that the LiveView and the Tab loose connection quite often (maybe every hour or so)?
Sometimes it will reconnect just fine but often it won't work until I have restarted the Liveview application on the Tab. Just now I even had a force close happen to the liveview app.
So does anyone have this working flawless?
TAB: XXJID/XWJJ3

Just ordered mine from ebay , I hope it works well with the latest jm6

New Official Panel: Evernote

New Panel from SE: Evernote.
Eh.. Links and description would be good?
Anyway, since you won't, I will.
Remember everything! Evernote turns your mobile phone into an extension of your brain:
Take notes, snap photos, draw sketches, and record audio. Evernote keeps it all in sync and always available.

not really my cup of tea but it's better than no new panels at all ...
thanks for the link ...
Sounds like a limited version of footprints, without the fun bit, the maps!
Hmm, that actually sounds usefull. Well, at least, if it weren't for the ultra slow panels.
I'll check this out in a sec.
[Edit] Heh. I like it. Although the INK NOTE is the only one i can imagine myself using, its pretty neat. Thumbs up for S.E. this time!

It's not, Evernote is first and foremost a noting program. There is also a PC client. It's like OneNote Mobile with ink support.
Can you tell me where these notes are stored?
I mean I never ever used this software before, is it storing it in the internet/server?
I checked it out and it's pretty sweet. (the panel-free version, of course) This seems like a great option if you want to work on a document both on a PC and on the X1 without all the hassle of syncing/attaching/etc. One unfortunate thing is that is seems like once you close an "ink" note, you can't re-edit. (But I have Screenwriter, an awesome handwritten note program)

The Sony Ericsson panels are updating the images as well. If you change the layout or background the images on the panel manager change as well.
ive been using the panel free version of evernote for a while now.. it is pretty cool... very handy...
gonna check out the panel now.. sort of like dashwire.. i dont like the panel, but i like dashwire... i have a feeling i will have the same thoughts about evernote...

Hello to every one.
I am quite a new user of Evernote. I created and account and then I installed this panel. While i was connected through USB I did not have any problem to connect with the Evernote server.

Is your phone connected with the USB cable to your computer? I had the same problem, but once I removed the USB cable it connected instantly.

New Widgets From HTC

Just had a notification that new widgets are available, battery, call mom, coin flip, fake call, notes, quick record, sand timer, tasks, tip calculator, today in history and daily challenge.

Try installing it via HTC Likes - it worked for me there, but not from HTC Hub. Failing that, i'd upload the apk if someone knows where it downloads them to.

Best way to share game saves and twitter timeline between N7 and phone?

Found some solution online but couldn't try them cause I haven't received my N7 yet to try them out:
GameShare
DataSync
GameOn
Also is there an app that sync where you stopped at your timeline? that would be great.
Can you share your experience if you tried them? if not try and tell your experience to the Android realm : )
Hands down datasync. Well to be fair I haven't tried the other two, but that's because I never had to. Datasync works flawlessly even when it first got released for me. I used that to transfer some save data from a few apps today when I got my N7. Give them all a try but definitely start with DataSync.
Thank You!
What about twitter? is there any twitter app with timeline position sync.
the only solution I've found is using TweetMarker. which am trying when N7 arrives

Tweetmarker works quite well. The only two Twitter apps that I know of that use it are Plume and Tweetlanes. Tweetlanes isn't officially supported on tablets though, but the developer makes the apk availabale here: https://plus.google.com/104649936579980037256/posts/53SL5vZ3kZL
Boid is meant to add Tweetmarker support, but their development of key features isn't exactly quick so I wouldn't hold out.

N8000 Owner's - S-Voice Works

Since the 3G Note is really just a tablet-ized SGS3, the majority of S-Voice features work.
Here's what I've found works:
Initiating a call from a BT headset by name or by digit dialing
Sending a text message
Opening contacts
Navigating with Google Maps
Memo (I haven't figured out where they go though)
Schedule (new appointments and reading back your calendar)
Set Alarm
Set Timer
Settings (turn Wi-Fi/BT off/on)
Search (via Google)
Local (EG: nearby restaurants)
It's not 100% and things like trying to open the music player cause it to force close but most of what I listed works fairly well. All I wanted it to do was initiate calls from my BT headset and that is does fine. I don't know how well it will work on Wi-Fi only Note's.
Here's the APK if you want to play with it... https://www.dropbox.com/s/k2zan438aps3obb/svoice-signed.apk
As you’re playing with it, post what you’ve found to work and what doesn’t so we all don’t have to go through the same trial and error process. Pretty neat stuff though.

If you remember when the SGS3 was launched the S-Voice APK was pulled out of it and it made headlines because people were using it on non-Samsung devices. Within 72 hours all those people started to get "server error" responses so Samsung (actually Vlingo) put some type of filter up to determine the make of the incoming device. The N8000 probably gets by because it's so similar to the SGS3.
When I set an alarm for 8am.. it shows it as -4:00am.. ? and thoughts?
Doesnt work on JB base for me. Anyone know if the leaked S3 have S-Voice built in to it? Or is it only ICS firmwares that are compatible?

There is no stock S-Voice. The APK is from an SGS3. I'm guessing the Note II's will work even better because it has more in common with the Note 10.1. Again, for the N8000 vs. Wi-Fi versions because of their lack of a cellular radio.
N8010
I'm just about to try it on my N8010 i'll let you know how it goes on!
Someone sent me the Note II S-Voice APK and I tried it on my N8000. It didn't work at all and returned "cannot connect to server" errors which means Samsung's blocking it as running on an ineligible device on their side. So ancestrally the Note 10.1 is more related to the SGS3 than the Note II.

Some of the functions don't work because the apps that S-Voice is trying to open are either named something different or are in a different place on the Note. The APK posted is from a SGS3 and we're lucky it works at all as using S-Voice on a device Samsung didn't include it on usually doesn't work at all and says "cannot access server."

Smartwatch A9 (iWatch clone) .. what about it ?

Hi, I'm looking for a cheap smart watch and i have found this one. There's not much info about it on Google..
"Smart Watch A9"
Someone can give me a opinion ? Thanks.
Sorry, XDA dont allow me to post links , there's some info about it ... aliexpress . com / store/product/Heart-Rate-Monitoring-A9-Wrist-Wearable-Digital-Bluetooth-Smart-Watch-Devices-for-Samsung-LG-Android-Phone/1085663_32383810547.html?storeId=1085663
Bump. Anyone ?
I just received my A9 yesterday, and it is a pretty good product. All notifications work well with my Note 4. Callers can hear me loud and clear when in phone mode. The 240x240 screen resolution, although not 320x320 or higher like name brand models, is better than I expected. The UI is user friendly and easy to navigate. The heart rate moniter works, but I have not compared it to traditional heart rate devices/instruments, so I can't speak on the accuracy. The "lost device" feature works as well. Since I find myself walking away from my phone a lot when I'm home, I usually disable that feature because notification on the watch becomes quite annoying. I purchased mine from a popular Chinese distributor for $56 with free shipping. It took 3 weeks to arrive, but it was worth the price and the wait. Overall, it's a good buy. Anyone not sure about buying the A9, I say go for it.
It is a good smartwatch, enough some updating. how you can update the firmware?
I am having trouble with syncing messages and notifications. I can make phone calls and sync call logs but I can't find a way for it to work all the features with my S5. Any help would be great

My A9
Hi Guys,
Received my A9 today. Bought it as it was only 65 Euro and because I was curious as what it would be like as a 'clone'. Initially I was impressed by the looks, feel and the way it operated. This initial positove feeling was quickly followed by disappointment as the Mediatek Smartwatch app won;t connect with the watch. I'm using a Note 4 and although there is a Bluetooth connection the app which is crucial for many features and functions says 'connecting' but nothing happens. I see others here have had or are having the same issues. Any recommendations to get this sorted are welcome.
Ps. I made sure that my settings in Accessibility are correct and that I have the latest version of the App etc.
Many thanks,
Sly.

Hi I paired the watch with my phone through the BLuetooth pairing procedure on the phone as I would with any Bluetooth device. The Mediatek App simply stays in the 'connecting' mode.
When i check my Bluetooth settings is shows that the phone is connected to the watch for 'Call audio' 'Media Audio' profiles and Allow access to 'Contact and Phone log'.
I get calls coming through on the watch and that side is all working alright.
I'd still very much like to have the messages showing up on the watch...
I think it is a good watch, but the watch faces are ugly as hell.
Can't we develop better watchfaces for this watch? Or just edit the existing ones?
I received a reply from the supplier which contained a QR code. I downloaded the APK App and thought I was on a 'winner' but after installing the App I discovered it was all in Chinese
They are now going to send me a link to the English version of the App which seems to look completely different to the Mediatek Smartdevice App that is supposed to be working with the watch...
Do you have the qr code? And can you add the English version here?

I've installed the 'Fundo Wear' App and it communicates with the A9, SMS messages are coming through, calls can be made and you can add some more Apps like Google Weather. It's basic but for the money I'm satisfied with what it does.
The App wants you to register with a website for your health tracking details but although I did I cannot login with the App as it keeps telling me my password is incorrect...and it isn't

I think you need to activate your account with the incoming email from Fundo. I did but I can not connect my watch with this fundo app. It doesn't see my watch. But mediatek does.

I've completed the registration and that is now also working. I did notice that every time the watch disconnects from the phone because it's out of range it is a balls to get it to connect again...
So after a few hours with an App that seems to be working with the A9 I can come to the conclusion that it doesn't really. When connected it's OK. It does some nice things but unfortunately the connections is dropped on a regular basis and every time the connection is lost it's a total nightmare to get the App to talk to the watch again.
I simply couldn't rate this as a finished product or something that should be sold as such unless there is another App out there that actually works with the device.
On its own it's a decent watch but that really isn't really very 'smart'.
I'll keep messing around with it and try different Apps and will report back here if anything changes...
Techmade Smartwatch
I've said goodbye to the Fundo Wear App as it was a nightmare trying to connect the phone and watch every time the connection was lost. I've now installed the Techmade Smartwatch App which seems to connect immediately and offer similar functionality. The App is in Italian but its simple enough to get round this

Hello everyone.
I own the A9 watch too and I believe its a great build smartwatch.
But, I really want to know if there is a way to update the firmware and how can we change these ugly faces, the watch styles, maybe to rearrange the icons?
Is it possible? How can we "explore" inside the watch?
Thanks in advance
