Motorola Motoactv :: Get GPS Lock More Quickly?
Feb 6, 2012
I start my run in the exact same place (end of my driveway) every single day. When I start an Outdoors running session on the Motoactv I stand in the exact same place, still as can be, and it still takes almost the full 4 minutes to get the GPS lock. I have no trees or buildings blocking my view of the sky.

Was disappointed to have my first lock up after only a few days use, but in the process of the freeze, my steps for the day has been recorded at 37,000. Is there a way to delete this? The reason why this is frustrating is that it has completely knocked out the scale on the wellness screen(as my max is usually around 15k steps).

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.

Sometimes, when I am actively using my XPRT, scrolling a web page, or looking at game scores, pretty much any activity I use the phone for, the screen will just shut off. I have the delays set very high, like 2 minutes or more, but the screen still gets in the mode of just wanting to be off.
So, the screen shuts off, I have to press the button on top the phone, then swipe the little slider to get back to what I'm doing. Then within 1 or 2 or 3 seconds it shuts off again. The happens for 6 or 8 or 10 times, then things return to normal. Then I can use the phone as normal again and the screen stays on.

I keep learning about this phone, But how to cancel a phone call quickly, I do see the android icon and the red END, on a normal call. But when pushing buttons and inadvertently going to somebodys phone #, I find later it dialed a number and I didn't know that. And I get charged. How do I avoid that? I use the back arrow- no, push home-no, menu-no. I seem to do this on e-mail as well.

I am on call two weeks out of four and need to keep my phone on overnight, but I don't want to be disturbed by any notifications (texts, emails etc.) apart from phone calls. My BlackBerry had a very simple way of doing this, but it doesn't appear to be possible on the Atirx. I hope I'm wrong, but there doesn't appear to be anything for this in Settings.

This has been frustrating me for the past 3 hours. I just opened my MotoActv today. I plugged it into my computer, installed Motocast, and set up my Motocast ID. I can sign into mymotocast.com just fine, but cannot sign into motoactv.com. It gives me the message "Invalid credentials. Please try again."

I see that people say they use the MA as a watch. Perhaps it's a problem with my unit, but if I wear the MA as a watch, no Bluetooth, no music etc. I have it timed out at 15 secs (makes a boring watch) and the brightness guite low... it never lasts the whole day before I have to recharge it. Seems a bit pointless having a "watch" that runs out of power before the day is through.If you use the MA simply as a watch (ignoring the silly steps counter which can't be turned off!) how long do you get?

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.

After having a ton of syncing problems that never got resolved I now get "Please wait, syncronization in progress..." screen for a long period of time. It will eventually time out.
I have tried uninstall, reinstall, and even a factory reset erasing everything. Nothing works. I have had this issue with the last couple versions of the MOTOACTV app but I am currently on 2.0.52. I emailed support a logcat a while back but never heard anything from it. I love the MOTOACTV, but without the app.
Oh and I am using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0.4.

So before this last update I think my wifi was always on. When I got back from a run by the time I could get to my laptop the data was already synced. After this update it seems the wifi is off and when I click on wifi settings it says "enabling wifi". How do I turn this off or on so either it always connect to my wifi when in range or stays off until i tell it?

I can't remove the belt clip.I'm encountering alot of resistance and I'm afraid I'll break the unit if I apply more.Can a guy put the clip on incorrectly or will it only go on one way? It slide on easy enough, but getting it off is another story.Please help, or I'm gonna have to send the unit in and have them do it for me. I've had the unit several days, but couldn't use it much waiting on the strap to come in, now this.

I would like to use the MOTOACTV for geocaching. For those who don't know it's a sport/activity where you go to a website and look up GPS coordinates for a treasure. You then upload the coordinates to a GPS and see if you can find the treasure. For the whole explanation you can go to [URL].With the golf upgrade it seems that the device can have a further update to allow geoaching. The device simply needs to know where it is and where the destination is, then provide the user the direction and distance from one to the other. That's exactly what it's doing for Golf. The only modification is that the user loads in the destination point rather than it being one of preloaded golf courses. In addition to getting to the geocache there are hints sometimes provided, so it would be nice to upload that to the device as well. This is generally referred to as "paperless geocaching". An example of a completing product is the Dakota 10 by Garmin.I currently use a handheld GPS for this activity but would much prefer to use this product. It would open up the product to a whole new audience of perspective buyers.
