Motorola Motoactv :: Golf Rounds Syncing To The Android App?
Apr 30, 2012
I've played a few golf rounds and synced them to the website, but they arent showing up on the Android app. Has anyone here been able to sync a golf round and have it show up in the app? When I do a manual sync it says it has updated successfully.
Is there a way to set up the motoractv to be able to give me tabata intervals of 20 seconds on 10 seconds off? I would like the music playing and to be told when to start/stop.
Don't know why I can't find this anywhere on teh MOTOACTV site...looking for the list of golf courses that are available for the MOTOACTV Golf Edition-
how to add on golf courses ... I'm not referring to the courses that is in the MOTOACTV database.I'm trying to add courses which are not in MOTOACTV data base.
Can I download the Golf software on the normal 16GB MotoActv? I don't need 20,000 golf courses, I golf at like 10. However, I don't want to go without score tracking or course downloading.
I have previously been syncing my golf workouts automatically with success. Recently, the rounds (workouts) will not sync. I have tried manually initiating sync from the device (runs forever) and syncing USB (times out) without success then tried reseting the device to factory. I reconnected USB and had to choose replace my devictill no success. I was able to re-download courses and my previous rounds were still on the device (this confuses me as I performed factory reset
I play the same courses quite often. And, I have certain things that I would like to manually map as spots that I like to be at on the course on any given hole.Is there a way to hit a button on a location on the course and manually mark that spot? Like a custom targets per hole?
I just bought this Golf Edition GPS and all 18 holes on the Golf Course are listed as being PAR 4. This is wrong, is there any way to change these PAR SETTINGS? Some are Par 3 and some are Par 5.
Response from the customer service Europe Motorola:"....We inform you that the program of golf, since the Beta, will not be upgraded to the metric system and will remain with the yard...."
I used my watch this weekend to play a round of golf. The round took about 4:15 to play and when I was done my battery went from 100% to 10%. My watch is on "marathon" mode and I left the screen on the whole time. This barely seems like enough to get through a full round of golf, is this the battery time everyone else is seeing?
2 weeks ago I ran a marathon which took me a little under 4 hours and I'm pretty sure my battery was at 50 or 60% when done. I also left the screen on the whole time. The only thing that has changed between then and now is that I upgraded to the latest version of the software.
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.
Is there a way to edit a workout after it has been synced? This includes my golf scorecard.Not that I am trying to cheat, but I didn't enter my scores in during the round.
I know that when you press "start" to mark your next shot the distance of the last shot flashes on the screeen.
Is there a way for me to see the distance from the last shot without locking in the position with the "start" button? This is a feature I would use all of the time with my other GPS unit to know how far away I was so I would know approximatly where to start looking for my ball if it wasn't sitting out in the open. Also very useful for letting your playing partners know how far their drives went.
Problem: When I attempt to do a course update or add new course it will run for hours (circle keeps spinning) and drain the battery. I reboot the device and it shows the last update was done that day (no time statement to confirm last attempt successful) but I'm not sure if it completed properly.The mulitple segment course update works great (hence my attempt to update my courses) at Flanders Valley, NJ.Has the update feature been fixed so changes to skydroid can be updated to the MotoActv?
I bought my Golf Edition a few days ago. Ran into some issues but eventually resolved it myself (as I ended up in a circle trying to reach someone that could support me from Motorola but without any luck). Just want to share my experience so that if someone ran into the same issue, they probably can try it.I live in Ontario, Canada. My Motoactv came with US maps and I needed to download Canadian course packs.I have my device connected by USB. I followed the instruction on screen to download the Canadian Ontario packs. It gave it a five seconds trial and gave me an error of "Insufficient Memory, remove some music". I have no music stored and i had over 12 Gb of space left. I reset eveything to factory condition and still didn't work.
I went to a Wi-Fi hotspot at my golf club, got it connected and retried again over Wi-Fi. It didn't work and gave me the same incorrect error message.Getting quite frustrated, I was trying one last time at home before makting the decision to return it, placing the device close to my Wi-Fi router at home. This time it works very well, and downloaded everything.So, it looks like that the "Insufficient Memory" message could mean that the connection between the device and the server is not strong or fast enough and have nothing to do with memory. The work around is to retry in a place when the Wi-Fi connection is very strong and fast.
using SW v. 6.6 Setup->Workout->Golf->Clubs Profile..Distance ranges are limited, the upper limit should be increased, 20 yards per club. I need about 10-15. Can this be done in an upcoming firmware update?
MotoCAST is really starting to be a problem. I cannot sync wirelessly at home (yesterday's question). Now I cannot sync at work via USB. I get a "Fitness Sync: Timeout" message. Is there an issue with MotoCAST or the website or is the issue with my MOTOACTV device.I've had this thing a week and I'm seriously considering returning it.
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.
Anyone having issues syncing their device with the website. I went for a run yesterday, shows up on the device says it is synced and it is still not available on the website. This is very frustrating. I attempted wireless and wired sync and both say they have completed successfully. The weird thing is when you go to the music tab it actually uploaded correctly with songs/distance but the run doesnt exist.
When can we expect more maps for the rest of the world? E.g. Asia? Australia/NZ?On Motocast USB, I only see a way to sync entire iTunes playlists to the device. How can I select individual songs? And what if I don't use iTunes to manage my music? There's a post titled "How do I load music on my MOTOACTV", which states that there should be an "(NO NAME)" drive on my desktop when the device is connected, and I'm supposed to be able to just drop songs into its "Music" folder, but there is no such device appearing on my desktop/finder. I only see a device called MOTOACTV, but I don't see an obvious "Music" folder there.
i have a planned workout that shows up appropriately on the portal but does not sync to the motoactv despite many attempts. it says "no planned workouts are available. plan your workouts at [URL]."
I was wondering if it is possible to install the android Spotify app on the MotoActv? Spotify lets you stream unlimited music for free (and be able to download the music for a small price a month). I don't have MP3-files on my computer, but with Spotify on my MotoActv, I could leave my mobile at home.
I've just synched my device with a second install of itunes having just bought some new tracks on the laptop. I now have duplicates of all the tracks that were on there previously. Both itunes are authorized against the same apple ID and have the same track list/playlists excepting the recently purchased tracks.
I was unable to find an option in motocast to clear music off the device and with multiple versions of each track on there I suspect the performance/fit track algorithms are going to be diluted in effectiveness so I've performed a factory reset.
This used to work, so not sure if something changed, but a few days ago I added a bunch of running workouts to the calendar on the Planning tab at Motoactv.com and after syncing the device several times, still no workouts show when I go to Running->Outdoor->Planned. This screen shows "No Planned Workouts Available. Plan your workouts on MOTOACTV.com" These are non-interval workouts that were added.
