# Live mode
The so-called Live mode makes a smartpad behave like a bluetooth-connected normal graphics tablet. Stylus input is immediately transmitted to the host computer and the tablet can thus used for digital drawings or as a mouse replacement.
It is possible to use the live mode with tuhi. However, this is not shipped in the flatpak, and so people need to start this from git:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tuhiproject/tuhi.git
cd tuhi
sudo ./tools/tuhi-live.py
```
There are a few pitfalls that may arise:
#### the device has not been paired with tuhi, yet:
```
11:44:38 ERROR: tuhi.wacom: **** Exception: DeviceError.AUTHORIZATION_ERROR ****
```
In that case you need to need to start tuhi (the gui) and follow the above instructions to register your device.
Then you can start the live mode again.
#### the device has not been paired with tuhi through flatpak:
```
11:44:38 ERROR: tuhi.wacom: **** Exception: DeviceError.AUTHORIZATION_ERROR ****
```
You need to run the flatpak in the background for the authorization token to be valid.
Note that tuhi 0.2 has issues with the live mode, so you need to upgrade to v0.3 first.
#### something else happened:
Keep trying. Sometimes, it doesn't work on the first attempt (yes, that's a bug, but hard to reproduce and fix).
