ANT+ support?

Can anyone confirm, if this phone has hardware support for ANT+ protocol (used for lots of fitness accessories and devices)? Xperia Active and other previous generations phones supported it.

Google Play Market should allow to install this app on compatible devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket

It really is a dealbraker for me.

Hmm, weird, my acro S has the app.
Having the app doesnt mean support it? It comes with the acro S firmware.

I can confirm that the ACRO S has ANT+ supported! The "ANT radio service" app is pre-installed in my Acro S, The Acro S uses Broadcomm (BCM4330) chipset, it supports ANT+.:smileyhappy: Please trust me, Go ahead.

Can someone who has this device do what other user did on Xperia Go?

I installed ant+ service and ant+ demo, started ant+ demo and got message: ANT+ not supported

What does Arco S says when running ant+ demo?

Hey, I hope I'm not too late, I have Acro S and ANT+ HRM working togheter.

So its surely supports ANT+

I use Acro S and Heart rate monitor from Beurer every day with Endomondo.

I have similar question, Does anybody knows is Xperia NEO V supports ANT+ ?
