Motorola Motoactv :: BLE Low Power Consumption Stereo Headsets?
Jan 1, 2012
Is anyone aware of any BLE(bluetooth low energy)/low power consumption stereo headsets? I am currently using a Jabra Clipper but I'm certain it does not support BLE. As after an hour and 40 minute indoor run with Moto's chest strapped HRM, display always on, backlight all the way down, sampling set to two seconds, my MA only has 50% battery remaining after starting fully charged.8GB running .78
I purchased a pair of S10-HD (allegedly) stereo headphones yesterday. I paired them with my iMac/OS10.6.8, but they only play in mono. My other bluetooth headphones from Creative play stereo just fine, so why does my S10-HD only play in mono?
I've read the owners manual and followed the instructions. My wife and colleagues have done so, too (as they have the same headset). And, yes, we've tried re-setting the device as well. I've also called Motorola tech support -- and even got through to Level 2 Support. They couldn't figure it out either. The manual's instructions clearly do not match the functionality of the H730 hardware. How to stop the rather annoying voice prompts.
I was using my wireless headset for several months without any issues. I was wearing them today at the gym, made a phone call on them after the gym, and was listening to Howard Stern at work when the batteries started dying. No problems - was using them continuously for over 3.5 hours. I plugged them in, charged them for 4 hours, and now they won't turn back on. When I plug them in, the charging light comes on, then the blue "charge complete" light comes on after a couple of minutes, but when I try to turn them on, I get nothing. I purchased these because they were advertised as "sweat proof", but I'm beginning to think not. So my question is this, Motorola, am I doing something wrong, or, as I've found mentioned in several places in these forums, is there a design issue with your product?
Usually work time of my Nokia between charging was 4-5 days. For two days I am really happy if it can keep power 1 day. Is there any known bug in software (I did update of Ovi Store and Opera mini) causing high power consumption or is it common that the battery die after 7-8 moths.
Every time I register a new email in my BIS network, it appears in my blackberry as a newly created application. Does this drain resources and battery?
I have a desktop cradle and have upgraded to Android 4.0.3, and now the power consumption when in the cradle is so high that charging from USB is not always enough to avoid the battery running out of power. (And I'm even connected to a USB hub with separate power supply.)
The unit worked normally for my workout yesterday. This morning I tried to turn it on for my workout, and nothing happens. I plugged it into the computer to see if I had inadvertently killed the battery. The white charging light comes on, but the display doesn't show the battery percentage graphic, and nothing happens when I push the power button. The Motorola charger is at home, so I can't try that until after work.
Received a new 16GB Motoactv this evening. Completed set up of MotoCast on my MAC. Unit was working fine, GPS / Radio etc.
Then checked for software update, it found 4.56.76, downloaded the sw and started to update. After about 30mins the MAC had a box saying updating, do not disconnect and the screen of the unit seems to be cycling. Initially I'd see the red batwings then an image of the unit and the progress bar underneath. The yellow moves about 1/3 along the bar then stops, after a minute or so the unit seems to power cycle > batwings > and so on....
After about 45 mins I disconnected the unit from the USB/MAC, tried a start + pwr reset but I still only get to this cycling mode (batwings > image + progress bar). Unit was charged for about an hour before I started the initial set up.
I've had a MOTOACTIVE for about a month now and I still haven't gotten to grips with the Pace & Power Zone settings. I could be wrong but to me it seems like they're just not working.In the Pace Zone settings the lower and upper limits are all set to meaningless values and I've tried a number of times to set them manually with no luck. Then the Power Zones Templates are completely blank and I am unable to set anything at all.
Am I missing something here? Should the MotoACTV bike speed/cadence sensor be tracking power/watts itself of is there another accessory that I need to get? It's recording all other info without difficulty. I've only used it about 3 times but always get a 0/0 when it comes to the power/watts reading.
Purchased a MotoActv brand new from eBay about 3 months ago. The best product to date i have used for tracking my gym session.I have noticed that everytime i press the power button, the volume increase and the music section starts ups. Very hard to track my gym work majority of the time as it stops the start button to work.I have updated to the latest version, no change in behaviour.Powering off is not an option as it automatically goes into bootloader mode, very hard to get it out of bootloader mode.
Before timing out and shutting off the display MOTOACTV changes to a monochrome display for a second.To wear the device as a watch, is there a way to enable this monochrome display for extended periods and thus burn less power?
In another thread various monthly data use amounts were discussed.I have an (grand fathered) unlimited plan, so data use is irrelevant.But I wondered what is the average monthly data consumption.This month is atypical for me at less than 200 megs so far. Usually it is more like a gig or more.What is your monthly data use?
If you use your RAZR / RAZR MAXX for tethering, or as a hotspot, for connecting a WiFi-only tablet or laptop PC wirelessly to the Internet, how is it affecting your phone's battery power consumption?
Is there a guide as to how USB headsets are supported on the Atrix? Motorola sells a couple of micro-USB ones, so they're obviously supported in some fashion, but a 'regular' Logitech USB headset doesn't work for me when connected.
I've just got the motorola rokr S9-HD headphones and I cannot find a way tu turn on the SRS WOW features, based on the manual I have to press the forward button for a while to turn it on but nothing happends, I even hold it for 30 seconds,
I have an iPhone 4 and want to use it to hook up to an aftermarket Pioneer stereo via USB. I was wondering if anyone has already done this and if anyone has had any issues. I don't have the stereo yet because I am a little wary of incompatibility because I have heard that iOS 4 has some issues with car stereos. Let me know if you have done this or if you have gotten it to work.
i don't know if this is configuration but i'm having trouble using my s11 headset with windows 8. after they are paired they disconnect when media starts playing - netflix, hulu, Internet - and not just via the browser, also using the netflix win8 app, for example.
my S10 HD which has great volume with phone calls but volume is too low when playing music Did a reset but no luck...Am I missing something I have tried 3 different headsets and all are the same
I just got a Motorola Elite Sliver headset, and it won't stop beeping. I get four quick beeps, then silence for about thirty seconds, then the beeps again. It does this whether it is paired with anything or not. it will stop during a call or listening to music, but when nothing is going on, the beeping kicks in.
How do I set the music settings? The manual says to press and hold the multifunction switch until I hear a voice prompt. The menu cycles through bass, treble equalizer and vocalizer but doesn't say how to change or adjust those settings.
Connect 2 head sets simultaneously to Bluetooth on the DX ? We're traveling to Europe and I have Audio Tours loaded on my DX. Would be great if BOTH of us could listen to them at the same time during our walk-around. I just don't want to pay for a new headset just to TRY it. I will if I get confirmation that it works.
Music volume is too low to hear but phone calls are fine did a reset and it was ok once but has never been the same volume as volume with wired earphones am I missing something?
I found this headset among some items my wife was throwing out. I plugged in the charger and very quickly there was a solid green light circle showing. I left it on the charger, not knowing what the light meant. after all day on the charger there was no change so I unplugged it and began looking for instructions. I secured the quick manual for the H700 which said that turning it on was accomplished by swinging the microphone boom out all the way. I did and no lights of any color showed. What might be going on with this headset. I am guessing that my wife maybe bought this headset last July.
