Hi all,
I've got a Sony Smartwatch but there are some issues with it - mainly the firmware.
If I plug the USB cable in to my PC and check via Sony Update Service, it says there's a new version available - so I update.
When I then pair the smartwatch to my phone (I am using it with my old Xperia X10) the X10 pops up saying that version 0.1.a.3.7 is available and asks me to update. So I then update again.
If I was to plug the phone back into my PC and check on SUS, again it says new firmware available! And so the cycle goes on, so which is the latest?
It just seems whatever version I am on my SW is always losing connection to my phone, even if it's right next to it, so maybe I am doing something wrong?
Many thanks

Just connect your watch to the phone while its upgrading and the notif will be gone. The lates one is that comes right up your phone

Hi,
I bought the SmartWatch 2 (SW2) and it arrived a week ago.
I have a THL w3 device, with Android 4.0.4 on it(built in; not a custom rom) and rooted.
When it first arrived about a week ago, I tried to connect it again and again and the SW kept displaying the SW->Smart Connect screen. the Smart Connect didn't show that popup window with a link to install the SmartWatch2 app, and even when I installed in manually there was no "edit settings" row in the Smart Connect app.
I tried to connect it to my friend's Motorola Atrix (Jelly Bean, not sure which one) and it worked, and then when I tried again on my phone it seemed to work. I was able to install some applications and even though whenever I turned the SW off and on or the Bluetooth off and on I had to unpair and pair the SW in order to connect it, not to mention that 90% of the times when I paired them there was no pairing request, the phone said it's paired, the SW got stuck on the screen "SW V phone"(connected) but they weren't actually connected.
A few days later, yesterday, I noticed that what i just described only happends when the phone is completely on and ready to use, because if I rebooted my phone and then when it turned on I emiddiatly paired them, it worked and there was a pairing request and everything. but only if I paired them before all the apps were ready, which meant that there was an app that caused the pairing to fail when that app is ready.
I used "Disable Manager"(from the Play store) to disable the Smart Connect app and then I was ablt to pair the phone and the SW properly, only now because the Smart Connect app is disabled I can't use the watch...
I hope I described what happened even though English is not my strongest language...
Summury:
My phone is not fully compatible ith the SW, and the fault is Smart Connect's.
The Motorola Atrix works perfectly with the watch. Is it because of the android version?
If you have any ideas please let me know.

Having trouble understanding, but if the problem is your device's stock rom you could look into trying a custom AOSP rom. Might aswell get something more recent than icecream sandwich. Get on kitkat. Get cyanogenmod 11 and use Gravity box with xposed modules.
Are there any custom mods for my device?
The problem is I couldn't find any custom roms for THL W3. it's not a popular device, and even though I really want a newer version(at least Jelly Bean...) I searched a bit and I didn't find anything.
Is cyanogenmod compatible with every phone? Are you sure that's the problem?
Hey guys! So I'm (hopelessly) trying all the ways to make this work but simply can't. Both Xperia Z3 and the new Suzuki Vitara are MirrorLink 1.1 compliant, however, after successfully establishing the connection via the USB calbe to the car, the phone doesn't react to any attempts to launch the apps from the car's touchscreen even though it signals the connection as alive and shows the apps on the phone. Repeatedly tapping on one of the apps on the car's touchscreen brings the app up for a split of a second but then it simply closes.
Has any of you managed to connect to MirrorLink successfully, preferably in the exact same combination of the car and the phone?
Thanks a lot for any advice!
P. S.: Please no replies telling me to try a different USB cable and similar, been there, done that.
Reveet to kitkat. Unfortunately only solution... And tell us if it worked... Good luck

UPDATE: Older versions of Lollipop (ending with .28) as well as KitKat ROMs have absolutely zero issues. Therefore, the only solution at the moment seems to be not updating to the Android 5.1.1 builds.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get the Mirrorlink APKs from earlier builds and deploy on 5.1
Are you sure about it? My Xperia Z1 have the 5.0.2 ROM, and does not show up - Connects but cannot do anything else, " Repeatedly tapping on one of the apps on the car's touchscreen brings the app up for a split of a second but then it simply closes" - same here.

Yep, tried and tested. I reported the bug the official way and presumably a fix will come in one of the future firmwares (Marshmallow would be my guess).
Hi guys,
Does anybody know what would be the reason my XZ to connect normally to any USB devices except one?
I need to say that the "one" device that the XZ wont connect is also working normally with Z and Z1, but with XZ wont communicate. What happening is just to sound twice as something is connected through USB, but nothing more. It even doesn't charging as should be.
I have tried to plug in to the "one" USB with the XZ off and then it starts receive charging for a while - until the battery status showed and then it stops again.
I hope to find solution for this with your help.
Note, the USB debugging is ON
note 2, I have managed somehow to get working one time and it was working for the whole day, but on next day it was not working again without any changes or updates to be received.
Not sure but have you tried using the "Detect USB device" option under the notification panel?
Hi mate, yes, sure i have tried and the reply was USB connected, but no further, nothing more happens.
Same here with my Dji phantom controller.

Have you clicked on the USB notification and selected what you want in the dialog box?
I had a similar issue today after using adb. I restarted phone and deleted devices from PC. Reinstalled device and all was good. Panicked for a moment there.

Yup, tried every setting and every Dev mode option. Nothing works.

Not sure what "one" means but maybe faulty cable? or usb input.
First of alli beg your pardon for my English.
I have a Xperia Z5 (E6683) about 6 months ago and everything worked normally until I upgrade to Android 7.1.1.
My cell phone does not recognize that it is plugged into the charger or the PC.
- Restore factory settings.
- Reinstalled Android.
- Installed Android 6.0, 6.0.1 and 7.0.
- PC Companion
When I finish installing any version of Android, the USB connection of the cell phone works normally. I can recharge, transfer files ... After 1 or 2 days the USB simply stops working or if I reboot the phone the USB also stops.
I tried Android 5.1.1 and the usb works to load, but not to transfer files. If I restart the smartphone connected to the pc it recognizes that it is connected, but I can not recharge.
Apparently it's not a physical flaw, it seems more of a logical thing, since it works normally when I finish installing Android. It seems that some internal Android process causes the defect to appear.
I've been researching for almost a month, but I do not think anything like it, has anyone ever seen this kind of defect? Would anyone know how I can solve or indicate some place where I can search for a solution?
Thank you.
Hi.
I've checked 3 pcs of Mi TV stick - each time after updating to latest update the stick is turning on by itself in 20 seconds after turning off by remote.
The new piece from box before update is ok, after installing latest update same issue. Does Xiaomi knows some solution to this bug?

I have the same problem bro. Still not found the solution.
I got the solution - at least that worked for me. The problem was with charging adapter from xiaomi phone. When stick was charged from PC USB slot then no problem with turning on by itself. It seems those sticks need power from low voltage sources like PC USB or TV USB (that I didnt check). Try it.
In my case there is no difference. TV Stick turning on by itself no matter if it was in TV USB, PC USB or plugged in charged which came in package.
It was my 2nd TV Stick because 1st was sended back because of classic problem with remote - losing connection and you need to unplug the device.
Unfortunately I have same issue with latest PI.1727. It's not able to stay in standby. On my side I'm sure it's a reason of updated hdmi-cec code. Once upon a time I was able to shutdown both tv and stick with a single button click. It's a dream now. I wish we were able to downgrade firmware.
Same issue on brand new Mi TV Stick updated to PI.1727. It wakes up with no reason.
Same issue here. I can shutdown MiStick + Tv, but I can't turn on both devices from remote using HDMI-CEC.
And both devices turn on automatically every day at same hour.
