Sony Ericsson updates LiveView – better compatibility & stability promised

The interesting little Sony Ericsson LiveView Bluetooth SCREEN THING seems to have taken on a life of its own, with quite a few third-party apps and plug-ins out there designed to make the most of its tiny little OLED screen.

Sony Ericsson has also released an update for the LiveView software, which you should be able to find at your local SE support site. Here’s what new, different and a little bit better about LiveView in 2011:

Improved stability in the phone application (update available on Android Market since some weeks ago)

Improved plug-in handling and limit of number of installed plug-ins raised to 30.

Connection stability improved – most identified reasons for random disconnects should be fixed now.

There were some cases of random reboots reported, and all those reported crashes have now been resolved.

Compatibility with competitor phones is greatly improved, both in regards to stability and to battery life time.

Automatic reconnect when coming back in range improved.

There still are a few stability and reconnection issues seen in our test labs around specific competitor models on Android 2.2 but they should hopefully not be frequent and should resolve after a reboot if experienced.

The price of the LiveView still seems to be hovering around the £50 mark if you fancy giving it a try. Read more about this update on the SE Product Blog.
