Motorola Motoactv :: Elliptical Step Count Is Inconsistent
May 4, 2012
I am currently using a variable stride elliptical trainer Precor 100i.When using device with watchband, the step count always shows zero.When using the device with armband, the step count is very inconsistent depending on the orientation on the arm (i.e. 40 50 % Difference Between workouts).When using the device with the hip clip the device is consistent within 5% which is good enough.In regards to the watchband. The directions say to not place your hands on the stationary part of the Elliptical.That make sense and since my hands are on the moving parts of the Elliptical I would assume that the multi-axis accelerometer would not have an issue keeping the step count.
I would also assume that the multi-axis accelerometer would not have an issue keeping the step count regardless of orientation on the arm (i.e. Up, Down, Side)I want to use the watchband so that I can get periodic updates on my workout intensity.
I just rollerbladed for 1 hour and 13 minutes, for 8 miles. I am 275 pounds. It told me I only burned 183 calories. That can't possibly be correct. The GPS did track the whole route, and it did get the whole amount of time. What is the issue with this?
I do have my MotoACTV set up correctly with my height, weight, and age.
Problem Description: My device did a sw update last night. This morning when I went to put on the device, Steps Count was at Zero (As Expected) and Calorie Count was at 3500. I would tyically see a count of 500 - 600 in the morning. When I took off the device last night it was at 3100. So i am assuming that the unit did not reset the calorie counter at midnight.Any Thought MOT Guys?HW: MOTOACTV 8GBSW: MA 1.6.13 N8
As a test I set a goal to walk 200 miles. Since then I have logged 2 rounds of golf (10 miles) but the miles do not count towards my walking goal. But they do count towards my second goal of working out 3 times a week. How do i fix this since golf is my primary walking sport. I want credit for the miles to show in my goal.
I'm a little concerned about the calorie counts it's been giving me; they seem too high. Has anyone else had this issue? Could it be my unit, or was I just underestimating my calorie burn before?
my motoactv would count my claps as steps. I was able to reproduce this issue and wonder if anyone is experiencing this problem with their motoactv or if mine is defective?
So yesterday looking into my portal, which I admit having been doing for a while other that for downloading the cvs. file to use with training peaks, thought, "new update for the device...probably new stuff for the portal", and guess what...yep, the motoactv team finally added steps and step rate (cadence) as a metric.Finally I thought, but is broken.The portal's able to show the amounts of steps taken but on the step rate it shows zero, and by zero I meant, no data whatsoever. I've been waiting for this to be added for to long.

So I'm planning on selling my 16 GB iPhone 3GS on eBay, but unlocking or jail breaking it before I do so. I'm looking to upgrade to the new iPhone 4, even though I don't qualify for the $199 price. Can someone give me step by step directions on how to do this? Specifically regarding what to do with my sim card and how to buy the new one. Any help would be appreciated thank you!
How to step by step to putting on games to a Samsung Flight SGH-A797? I've seen posts for other models and tried (no luck). I do not know the Internals Password, Have usb cord.
Most notably is the alarm. There have been days that it is very loud and others I had to make sure the volume was turned up because it was pretty quiet. Luckily I was up this morning and waited for my alarm to go off. It went off but it was very quiet, if I was still asleep there is no way I would have heard it which is opposite yesterday because it woke my wife up it was so loud. I have changed the tone but it hasn't made any difference.
Can someone please give me a step by step walk through to set my emails up?I have a Window Live ID. What is a Blackberry Enterprise Server administrator password?
The app works great but I don't always get alerts when new mail comes in. I am not sure how to trouble shoot this problem, the yahoo notification is checked off but doesn't seem to fix much. Anyone using the yahoo mail app have this problem? I know this may not be an Admiral issue but I figure I'd ask any way.
The voice navigation and re-routing only work on occasion. When i miss a turn, which is often because the turn by turn voice is silent, it just tells me i am off route.
I have noticed for some time now that my Droid can sometimes lose some of the recurring events in my calendar. They "dissapear" even when I haven't made any changes to those events. (If it happened once, I would admit that I may have done something and forgotten. But, I've had the problem for a while and am very careful with recurring events because of it.) Toggling the sync in the Settings>Accounts and Sync section sometimes helps, but often the best workaround is to make some minimal change to the event by logging in to Google Calendar and resave it. I typically add a space to the end of the event name. Once I do this, the future events appear on my Droid once again. Because this workaround does the trick, I assume this is a bug and not user error.
Is there any way to step down to 3G or even 2G on a non-rooted Atrix phone running 4_1.8.3?
I found tools to get me to the screens to make the changes, but they do not stick. I am not ready to root my phone. 3G or 2G for vocie is plenty clear enough for me.
I know there are other ways to save battery power, but would like to step down a G or two.
Why is there no way to look at your phone and tell how many text messages you have with out having to go into you text message? I had a samsung charge that had this feature and it was great option. When you are getting emails all day and calendar appointments notification showing up. It is easy to miss text messages notification.
Neither the email icon or the email widget show the number of unread emails. My previous phone (Droid Inc 2) did show how many unread emails were in the account. Does anyone know how to get the icon or the widget to show this? I have an exchange and a mac email set up.
Communications Authorities in Egypt changed Mobile networks numbers for all three providers by adding a number to each provider, for instance mine starts with 010 it will be 0100 and so on for other two providers adding 1 and 2.Now I have more than one thousands (1000) contacts in my phone book, how can I add this new digit to multiple contacts instead of editing one by one.
I've owned the MotoActv for two month, I got the mysterious "moisture issues" that everyone seems to be getting even though I've never used it in the rain. But the thing that is driving me nuts is the music. When I hit random shuffle of all my songs, I hear songs I don't want to hear... song that I do not own on my computer. Where are these songs coming from? Today I heard "Boot Scoot Boogie!" I abhore country music as does my wife. Doing a computer wide search shows no evidence that the song exists on my computer. Yet there it is playing in mile four. Other mystery songs have showed up too. The performance music playlist seems to be filled with songs I never heard of, yet evidently I perform well to them.
Let the developers know what new innovations you would like to see in Motoactive. Let them know what Apps, websites, hardware features that are out there that you love and would like to see incorporated into Motoactv.
I've noticed that not all notifications are showing up as heads up notifications. Snapchat notifications are, calendar event reminders are, but Gmail and Textra notifications aren't etc. I installed a third party app to fill in the blanks and provide notifications where TW didn't, but it's weird that it's not consistent.
My 4s on Sprint will show me that I have voice mails , but i am unable to tap and play all of them?

I just completed the Qi charge mod to my 1520. The charge mod does work, however the charger does drop off... Also I've noticed that the charge mod does not work through cases.
