LT28i ICS and Smartdock issue

Anyone with the Smartdock and running the LT28i version of ICS is your ion detecting the smartdock correctly in the Smart Connect (liveware) app? I even did a complete wipe and had it completely stock but Smart Connect will not detect the smartdock or a livedock. It sees when I have just the usb cable plugged in as being just the charger but neither dock is detected nor can I select either dock in the setup of Smart Connect.

Same, just get charging notification.

Hmm that's not good. Anyone else confirm it's not working?

My xperia ION LT28H works fine with live dock.
You must update the app on the market.
then, when the smartdock is connect via HDMI, the tv laucher start automatically.
You can also create a new profile called "smartdock" and select the app you want to lunch when there is no HDMI (clock for instance, like the xperia play).

We aren't talking about the lt28h firmware. I'm talking about the lt28i version of ics.

Already did. He is passing it along. Also posted on the Sony mobile forums and have them looking at it.

Just want to bump this and see if you got a reply.
I'm having this problem as well, but the circumstances are a bit different.
The stock LT28H firmware correctly detects the smartdock and rotates the screen as-is, as soon as I have it in the dock and it starts charging. After I update the smart connect software, it no longer acknowledges the dock unless it is connected to a TV via the HDMI output. Not sure if it's an intentional software change or a bug.

What firmware are you on. It was working for me on the LT28h 3.7 firmware. Haven't heard anything from the dev at Sony but he was busy with CES so I will follow up shortly.

I'm currently on LT28H 3.7 as well. However, this has been happening for as long as I can remember having the phone. On every update I always wipe my phone, and the smart dock detection always works, as long as I don't update the Smart Connect software with the one from the market. As soon as I update it, the dock is only detectable if it's connected to a TV. So for now my only workaround is to not update the Smart Connect app.

ah ha. Nice catch. Okay so I just uninstalled the updates I had for Smart Connect and it rolled back to Liveware Manager and yep...smartdock works and is detected without HDMI being plugged in. Sending an email right now to my contact. Thanks for the info.

[Q] Anyone here have the Sony internet Google TV player - nsz-gs7?

I've been trying to get the IR remote on Xperia ZL to get to work with the Sony Internet TV player nsz-gs7, but so far nothing! ZL works with my TV, but is unable to find the controls for NSZ, or learn from the NSZ remote, has anyone faced a similar situation?
Are there any other nsz-gs7 owners who have a Xperia ZL, i'd like to learn more on how you're using ZL with it.

There's an app "Media Remote" by Sony that works just like the remote for the Sony Google tv

The NSZ-GS7 takes commands via Bluetooth only.
You haven't run across any rooting info for it?

Thanks for the suggestions. I ll try them out. But do you guys have any idea of what is wrong with the "throw"feature? That is by far more convenient, I just click throw on my phone and I can instantaneously see videos, listen music or see pictures on my pc. No need to install app on the phone (moreover you have to install something on the laptop). Moreover you can also throw to a wifi TV. It is written on the Sony website that the laptop has to be DLNA compliant. How can I check that on my laptop? It is a pretty recent laptop with windows 7, I thought it should be DLNA.

Laptops are pretty hard to setup for DLNA actually throw feature is used for. DLNA certified products like music system, bluray players...etc etc..so fr laptop better use some app they work juat fine

[Q] ZL Remote Control Configuration

Anybody know how to configure the Videocon d2h HD settop box remote control on Xperia ZL Remote Control App.. I tried all the manual setup procedure and was able to configure buttons using d2h remote control, but on settop box it is not working. I was able configured Samsung tv remote and zl remote control with samsung lcd tv working absolutely fine without any issues. But why it is not working with the d2h settop box. Is there any difference between tv receiving signals and settop box receiving signal.
Please help if anyone has idea about this.
Thanks

Did you use the Samsung control preset that came with the app?
or you set it by manual learning
and on what version are you on?
the remote app was broken before 4.2 .67 firmware
that was the version where it worked fine for me
4.3 is fine too
all other earlier version has the problem when you use the learning function(it learns it but when you press it it doesn't work)

Same problem here,
Currently on stock 4.3 version, even tested with 4.2.2(previous version)
I m not able to configure my FastWay Hd Set Up Box remote by manual method..
It didnt work on STB...
Only default configured codes are working Like SonY Led Remote and Samsung

For those all who have manual learning problems. Its a hardaware defect. You can get your device replaced by sony

Yes, sony told me the same. But it worked on 4.1, and I read a comment where someone wrote that bug got fixed in 4.3.
I still have hope...

Folks do anyone of you have an APK for this Remote Control App? I want to try this on my Nexus.

I had the same problem when I bought my ZL
problem was fixed on 4.3 update
or you could try flashing AOSP ROM
and use the AOSP remote control to test it(the app is in app & theme section)

has anyone been able to connect XZ2 to DJI controllers ?

i have been VERY disappointed NOT to be able to connect XZ2 compact to DJI's Mavic Pro controller.

thanks !
