Hi,

In the official specifications on the Sony Homepage, I can't find any information about ANT+ support for the xperia Z5 series. According to other internet sources, ANT+ is supported by Xperia z5 phones and the previous Xperia Z3 phones also were supporting ANT+.

Does anyone have reliable information about this?

Hi,

Yes, the Z5-series should also support ANT+ according to the white paper:

ANT+ does not work, my Suunto HRM is discovered by my Z3 Tablet but Z5 Compact is not detecting it at all.

On http://www.thisisant.com/directory/ Z5 or Z5c is not visible/certified for ANT+

Shame Sony Shame!

In the meantime, did anybody test the ANT+ functionality of his Xperia Z5 and can confirm if it's working or not?

Works on my z5. Did you install the ant+ apps?

Tested with a Garmin HRM and the anr+ plugs sampler app

Connectivity is inconsistent with mine. Will detect my Garmin HRM strap and Garmin cadence, but drops after 5-20min. My other two ANT+ compatible phones do not have this problem.

I'm having the same problem on my Z5.

Specs clearly state ANT+ compatability, yet Wahoo or Elite MyTraining apps do not recognise it. ANT+ service is not enabled according to software. I can not see any mention of how to enable it.

Very frustrating.

Did you try downloading the Ant software from the store?

I see that it's on the list of supported devices. Did you try and download the Ant+ software?

Yes, have ANT HAL, radio and USB services installed as per photo. Phone just doesn't see the device (Elite Misuro) or even the fact that the apps are installed (see below).

I'm on my second sensor now.
