I alternate between wireless (bluetooth) and wired headphones. Today when I tried to connect my wireless headphones, a pop-up message appeared telling me to first disconnect my wired headphones. The problem is that I had no wired headphones connected. I tried connecting/removing the wired headphones, rebooting, etc., but I am still unable to connect the wireless headphones.
As a FYI, this started to occur at the same time I received a message telling me to connect my device to receive an update, but when I connect to my computer I get a message that I am up to date.
I want to know if the D3 can connect to wireless headphones and a bluetooth heart rate monitor simultaneously? I am thinking about purchasing a bodymedia link arm band and I would like to use this while also using LG HBS-700 bluetooth headphones. How does it work?
I'm interested in getting the S10 bluetooth headphones and wanted to see how good they are. I will mainly use for running, but will also use when I ride my bike by myself.- Is it really sweatproof?- How does it fit under a bike helmet?
I JUST got this on Tuesday at night and today is the first time I'm set to run with it. I plug my headphones in and get ready to run (I sync with GPS and everything)... only to have music not work. Ok that's weird, I go to the FM radio and it says, "No Signal Connect headphones to listen to FM radio".
If I spin the headphone jack around it works once and then quits on me. I then can't get it working at all. If I power down or up I can hear EVERYTHING (beeps). That's without moving the headphone jack and after getting the error (that I can hear the beeps fine by leaving the moto on the table).
Is it possible that you can use audible alerts on it without headphones?Also is there are any plans for maybe a feature to track your sleep using the accelerometer?Since you can use it to track everyday activity in terms of calories and stepps walked during the day. It seems like a great tool for that.
My issue is that the red headset that came with the MOTOACTV unit doesn't get recognized. When I try to play music with them plugged in, it just doesn't do anything (play button doesn't turn to pause), and if I try to use the FM radio, it tells me that I need to insert a headset. I have tried to rotate the plug around, to pull it out slightly, or to push it in and make sure that it is 100% snug. None of the above actions have changed the result.
I tried using the MOTOACTV with another pair of headphones that I had, and had no issues playing music or the radio through them. So the unit seemed okay.
This lead me to believe that the headphones were defective, but when I plug them into both my ipad and also droid RAZR directly, not only do they work as headphones, but the microphone seems to work as well. So that kind of rules out the headphones too.
issues with their headpone control button? My headphones don't allow me to use the button to forward, stop, etc. Is there a known issue with this out there? The control works sometimes, but most of the time it does not....even at the beginning of workout with no moisture at all.
I have a set of Jaybird JF3 Freedom BT headphones (fantastic running headphones BTW!) - both the Motoactv manual and the device itself tell me that when the Motoactv and my BT headset are in range of each other and powered on, they will auto-connect. Of the 30+ times I've used them, this only happened once. Every other time I have to go into Settings - Wireless - BT Headsets-JF3 Freedom and hit the "Reconnect" button - then they reconnect right away. One random time, they auto-connected. I didn't do anything different than I normally do.
I've been watching this product (and these forums) since the MA came out. Now that I'm cleared to run again, I'm really ready to make a purchase. I am so completley on the fence between this and a Garmin. I realize people are more apt to post the negative over the positive so help me make a comparative list:PRO MANo separate IPOD!will track other activitiesbluetooth headphonesMatt's responsiveness on these forumsCon MA (concerns, eally)battery lifeonline portal issues (as seen on these forums)"water damage" issue - rated as ipx7?!GPS reliabilityPRO GARMIN 410more stable?familiar with garmconnect (I have an etrex for trail use)A true running GPSI've tried the Garmin but I have not tried the MA - I'd LOVE to though.
I go out for a few runs and I noticed that me heart rate read very low and erratic (25 bpm then 60 bpm) this only happens when I use my Bluetooth headphones with the chest strip HRM. I have tried it with the stock headphones whith great results.
How can i set multiple wireless setting on my MOTOACTV? Currently i have 1 setting and is working fine? How can set additional wireless setting for diff location?
I have seen people having several problems with sync'ing. My problem is probably a variation of the basic underlying problem.I got my Motoactv a couple of days ago. I did a workout, and then tried to sync it wirelessly. I tried several times, but each time it gave me a network error. So then I connected the device to the computer via USB and the sync was successful.The next day, I did a couple of workouts. This time both the wireless and USB syncs failed numerous times. After reading several other posts, I did a factory reset.I then did a workout, and tried the wireless sync, and that failed. I didn't try the USB sync at that time. I went to bed, and when I got up this morning, Motoacdtv said that the sync was successful. So sometime during the night, the wireless sync occurred. I then did another workout today, and then did a USB sync which was successful. Another workout, and then the wireless sync (without intervention) worked.
There is a wireless printer on my office network that I would like to be able to print saved files from my phone to. How would I do this. Is there an App or ?
Ok.. Before I say I give up and my phone and the docking station were a bad purchase, let me ask for some help here, since the forum seems to be pretty helpful. And help me with establishing the initial connection with my webtop dock.
I got my Motorola Atrix and the webtop docking station at August (2011).After finally succeeding to connect it all together - phone-keyboard-mouse-docking_station, I was quite happy every time I connected it and it worked properly.
I just bought this devices and when i plug it into the computer via the USB cord, I get an error message saying that "Your MOTOACTV device cannot connect to the internet". It then tells me to check my security software to ensure that it has permission to communicate through any firewall. I have done this and it still wont connect.
I got a Motoactv 16Gb (software version is MA 1.7.10 N16) and is been impossible to connect with a Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (010-10997-02). I had tried everything from Motoactv factory reset to wet the HRM. Until now nothing work and still waiting to use my Motoactv. From this Forum I had read some comments on great connectivity between motoactv and this HRM.
I've been trying to access support from Motorola about my device's inability to connect to the internet and create a Motocast ID. It is now not even giving me error messages, and Motocast isn't starting up anymore when I plug it into my computer. I don't have wi-fi as that would involve having to buy a TV and various other unneeded things to get a wi-fi package, so I use a dongle for my internet. I am really unhappy about the service from Motorola and the fact that they've released a great idea before it's actually ready to be used.
The way I understand it, the device is supposed to connect to the computer like a USB mass storage device and then autorun the motocast software, however there appears to be absolutely no support online for what happens if the device doesn't show up on the computer as a USB mass storage device. Mine completely fails to register with the computer other then to produce the BUH DUH sound that Windows makes when a USB device is connected or dissconected.
My computer is running Windows 7, I've tried rebooting the computer, installing motocast off the internet and rebooting, I've tried different cables, different ports, I've rebooted the device multiple times, nothing seems to work.
Can Anybody please tell me why my MOTOACTV doesn't like to connect to GPS? My distances and times are WAY off. I would estimate that 30% of my runs have connected. I tried today, with a clear shot of the sky without a cloud to be seen and it wouldn't work. I wasn't moving and have the MOTOACTV on my arm. I waited for 2 full cycles while it tried to connect. I am sick of it. The time is set correctly on the unit to Daylight Central Time. It is giving me the correct time. The portal doesn't seem to have the option for a Daylight Central Time. It should still work. I am really getting fed up of the chats with support, only to be told I need to call and have it taken care of. I even told Matt about this a couple of weeks ago. I got no response from him. What is going on with this? When it works, it works well. If this wasn't a gift, I would return it and hope for a better outcome with a new one (no receipt).
I have recently purchased a motoactv which works great, but when I try and connect it to a computer it doesn't connect properly. The initial connection via usb managed to install the USB Composite Device driver, but failed to install the Motorola Networking Interface and the Motorola ADB Interface. Nothing else happens. Whenever I connect or disconnect I do get the notification sound, but again nothing else. It does not even appear in my computer. I tried system restore to a previous point to remove the drivers and try again, but on the initial connection of the device exactly the same thing happened again. I have tried installing motocast but have had no results with that either.
How to get rid of the connect / disconnect notifications in an Android phone that is paired with a motoactv? The app was notifying me every 15 mins about getting and loosing connections to the Motoactv. Was driving me nuts so I killed the app.
I can't get this device to work behind a proxy server. When I connect the device to my computer (at work) it says it can't connect but there is a "proxy settings" button. I click it, I fill out the appropriate information, it doesn't work. I try several variations, it doesn't work. How to be able to successfully connect the device behind a proxy server?
i've searched and have tried everything possible.*connecting the device to either a PC or MAC, after having factory reset it multiple times, does NOTHING. device isn't seen, nothing mounts, nothing at all.i've tried:- uninstall/re-install motocast with device connected AND disconnected.- let win7 install drivers BEFORE motocast install (just plugging device in).- install motocast BEFORE letting windows install drivers (uninstalled everything, reinstalled motocast before plugging device in).- all of the above steps on both PC and MAC.- all motocast files/installs are of the latest versions directly from motorola's website.this is getting insanely annoying. is there something i'm forgetting to install? motocast includes the wireless and USB connectivity, correct?
*also, after installing motocast THEN connecting my device, the motorola adb interface driver attempts to install a second time but fails - it succeeds when installing motocast initially. i'm assuming this is where my issue lies as far as my computer seeing the device. when searching for the driver, though, i'm simply instructed to download motocast.
Every single time I connect my watch to the computer via USB cable I get this "Connection Error": "Your MotoActv device cannot connect to the internet if your computer requires a proxy to reach the internet, please click proxy settings." Then I click the "Try Again" button and it successfully connects. This happens every time without fail. It's annoying. Can that be fixed?
I have not been able to connect to my router and keep getting the error incorrect password or other error.I have tried power cycling my router, removing the password, changing the password to something simpler and motoactv stlil cannot connect.I am 100% sure the password is correct and all my other devices can connect to the router fine as well.
