Motorola Motoactv :: Indoor Calibration For Running?
Jan 8, 2012
Tried to callibrate MA for indoor running;Did what the prompts said -- however, it says for the 1st 2-mins. run easy -- my MA DID NOT let me go for the total 2-mins...tried a couple of times and it usually cut me off at about 1-min?When I look at my workouts OF COURSE the paces are off because it didn't calibrate...I saw that I could "correct" the distance on the MA, but how can I go to my MA.com and enter in the laps column my actual splits..ie., 1-mile??
I actually Don't track calories but was wondering why this indoor workout said 0 calories burned? I DID wear my HR monitor...(Incidentally, I have a new NordicTrack treadmill AND the calories burned compared to my Garmin AND the MA (when I got calories from outdoor run) were ALL completely different..by a lot).I enetered the same data for all 3 re. weight, etc...

I am trying to understand how I can do an indoor activity without getting speed and distance data in the results.I have used the Motoactv primarily for outdoor training for hiking, walking, mountain biking, and inline skating. Additionally, I am using for various indoor activities including plyometrics, weightlifting, indoor cycling, and indoor inline speed skating.I have been able to understand the use of GPS for speed and distance calculations (albeit with a number of accuracy impacting calculation concerns as noted in other posts in this forum). What I do not understand is the speed and distance calculations for the indoor activities. Nor do I have any idea on how the accelerometer (or pedometer) capabilities are used in speed and distance in conjunction with GPS for outdoor activities.
Specifically, for indoor activities other than those which are directly correlated to running, walking, cycling, or an elliptical, how are the speed and distance calculated? For example, when I did an hour of weightlifting using that category, the workout results showed that I had travelled over a mile with various speeds. It seems sensible to me that only a few of the indoor workout categories make sense for speed and distance data. I would not expect yoga or weights to track distance. Additionally, in a pretty intense indoor speed skating practice yesterday, I used the Motoactv for the first time to track my HR data. It produced some speed & distance data for the times in which I was skating, but the accuracy was in no way close. I expected no speed & distance data & I would not expect accurate data for inline speed skating (although that would be awesome). how the various indoor activities use the pedometer for speed calculation? Failing that, does anyone know how to stop an indoor activity from tracking speed & distance? Or finally, do any of the indoor activities NOT generate speed & distance?
The Motoactv device has a lot of functionality over & above competitive GPS watches in it being able to intelligently use the GPS or the pedometer for distance calculation for the specific activity. Hopefully, it also has the software logic to NOT calculate speed & distance for certain activities. Recent Garmin devices allowed you to "Use Indoor" if it could not find a GPS signal which turned off all speed/distance calcs. To prevent inaccurate non-sensical data on the Moto, we need to be able to specify activities without speed/distance or be able to turn off GPS & pedometer for specific activities.

I got the motoactv for Christmas. I tried the treadmill calibration and like others indicated it didn't last the 2 full minutes. I have ran twice since and it doesn't work at all. I ran for 1.5 miles at a 5.2 mph and it recorded a .86 run and the mph was no where near 5.2. It basically said I was going about 2.5 mph. When I look at my graph, about half the time it didn't have me moving or moving at about 1 mph!.
I want to try and recalibrate it - where can I delete my original calibration so I can try again? Also, is there anyway to edit my run to put in the correct mileage? I don't see any edit functionality.

Is there a way to reset the pedometer without performing a new calibration?

Is anyone else having an issue with calibration for pedometer or running? It always starts saying you will walk/jog/run for two minutes, but my Motoactv has been inconsistent, mostly counting down from 120 but then ending with around 70 or 60 seconds left.

Tonight I was running and about a mile or so into my run it stopped tracking it and did nothing for a half mile or so, and then I suddenly heard workout starting/workout starting in my headset and I looked and saw that the odometer was back at 0. The music never hiccupped and I never touched the screen or any buttons. This is the first time this has happened to me. I have the latest software update.

tonight I will be doing a 2 km warm up run. Then running 800 meter repeats x 6 then 2 km cool down. Is it possible to track each 800 meter run to see speed and time?

In the midst of marathon training the last two weekends, I've gone to pause my MOTOACTV during a 12 miler and 13 miler when waiting at a stoplight, yet in both cases the MOTOACTV ended my workouts!
This is without me hitting "end workout" on the screen..

I know that the audio coaching automatically advises you of your stats at 50% and 85% of your set (distance) goal while running.I could have sworn that previously I had the ability to set it to give status updates at a marked distance (0.5 mile, 1 mile, etc.) regardless of my distance goal. Am I correct, and that functionality is now gone? Or was I possibility using another setting or option, like intervals (I don't think so)?Please advise. I know I can do the shake/tap check any time, but it's so much more convenient to have the preset coaching.

When creating running workout, is there a way to have more than the 2 intervals. For Example, it I'm training in different Zones, I may want to train in Zone1 for 5 minutes, Zone2 for 5 minutes, then Zone3 for 5 Minutes and repeat that set 4 times. Right now, it appears I havew to enter Interval (single) for Zone1, Zone2, and Zone3 and then add those intervala in that order 4 times instead adding them once in a single stage and then tell it to repeat 4 times.Is that correct or am I missing something? If that is true, I think you should make that enhancement in your next update.

When exercising on the treadmill at the gym, I have tried the "Walking/Indoors" program. At first I calibrated it at 3.0 mph (I actually run at 4.5mph). The pedometer seemed to be right on track, but the speed was just all over the place. So I read discussions in the forum that said it should be calibrated at the actual mph at which you walk/run. So I recalibrated today at 4.5 mph, and still the speed was jumping everywhere but the correct number.Full disclosure: My excercise routine is a power-walk (all that's left for me to do due to a spinal condition). I wear the ACTV on my wrist because I like to keep checking the stats. Even if I hold my arm still in front of me, the speed keeps oscillating.

my new (3 weeks old or so) MAXX's compass until today. The compass worked flawlessly. I never had tried to calibrate it. Then, while driving home today with Google Maps, Maps suddenly noted that my compass wasn't calibrated and asked me to calibrate it. Now, the compass is off by 10-80 degrees as I turn around. I tried re-calibrating again with GPS Status and got the same result. The compass calibration routine on the MAXX is broken. I don't know if this is a Google Android issue or a MAXX issue. Is there any way to reset the compass calibration to default values?

I was quite pleased with my new (3 weeks old or so) MAXX's compass until today.The compass worked flawlessly.I never had tried to calibrate it. Then, while driving home today with Google Maps, Maps suddenly noted that my compass wasn't calibrated and asked me to calibrate it.Now, the compass is off by 10-80 degrees as I turn around.I tried re-calibrating again with GPS Status and got the same result. The compass calibration routine on the MAXX is broken.I don't know if this is a Google Android issue or a MAXX issue.Is there any way to reset the compass calibration to default values? The solution offered by fletc33, which I assume closed the discussion, does not relate to the problem the original post talks about nor does it offer a solution. The problem we have has to do with the compass on Google Maps. it is not a frozen compass, or calibration of the compass. it has to do with the compass being off in Google Maps and the degree of the deviation varies erratically. The problem in not that the compass is off by some degrees, or that it is frozen, the problem is that the the compass is going all over the map when in google maps.
I have researched this problem for a couple of month, reading posts (here and on other forums) about this and similar problems and I'm yet to find a solution to this specific issue.I am going to take a short video of my phone rrunning google map to better illustrate the problema, nd post it to this thread.

I recently used a bad battery in my phone, which ran down to 5% very rapidly, and then worked forever on that 5%.
Unfortunately, since then my other two (good quality) batteries also deplete very quickly... so I think the battery indicator has become inaccurate.
How can you delete the battery stats file on the Atrix?

I just recieved a warranty replacement DX2 yesterday.So far, it is a neat phone and I am quite pleased.However, I am unable to fiind the selection to calibrate the compass. In my old Droid X it was in Menu>Settings>Location & Security>Calibrate Compass.Now, Calibrate Compass is no longer there.Perhaps the DX2 compass doesn't require calibration.

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.

I don't know what can be done but the white balance is off for indoor shots, they are more like a sunset color than ambient! Is there a way to adjust the white balance?

I was just wondering, does your S5 has shaky camera too ? When im indoors and take photos, when i zoom in they are almost all blurry. And it was not so low lighted situation. It was pretty bright actually. Outdoors it seems fine but indoors it's has more noise then my S3. Is this normal ? And front camera is definitely better on S3.

I have a strange situation with my camera results on my 950 when shooting indoors with artificial lightning. Photos come out like too much hdr was applied, like were darkened somehow although rich capture is off. I can see the photo looking fine but after a few secs the post processing is applying some sort of hdr or something that results in a worst looking picture.

Poor network reception, not a network provider issue. SIM works fine different phone. It does not receive any signal indoors need to be outside or near a window. What may be wrong with the phone?

Granted I have only begun playing with the camera and the many adjustable features, but already indoor shots seem to have an unnatural green hue. I have even shot pics (in my basement) using a professional camera light to simulate day light and still the picture colors are way off no matter what setting I use or adjustment is made. I guess it's just the result of being a "phone camera"? Nevertheless I was surprised that even professional lighting bulbs yielded little better than a fluorescent or tungsten bulb. How to get better indoor pictures without daylight?

W995 has an indoor 3G signal problem. When you hold it in your hand like you mostly do, 3G signal disappears and the phone switches to 2G mode. Hence, outside of the buildings the phone generally keeps 3G signals without any problem. Checked it with another 3G capable GSM Operator's line but nothing changes. I can not make video calls when I'm home. I've got the latest software for my phone.

Anyway, sitting here in North Sweden and shooting some lowlight / indoor with C902 & K750i just for fun. I've never compared k750i & C902 indoor before, so I got surprised how similar they became.

Go to settings, general then gestures calibration is there. If your having probs with your screen staying black whilst making a call so you cant end it etc then hold your finger over the sensor whilst calibrating. It worked for me.

Since Friday the screen of my N97 has been all over the place. I touch one part and it's unresponsive, I touch another and it does something that I didn't ask it to do.I figured out quite quickly that it was the screen calibration that had gone to **bleep** and although I had no clue as to why, I re-calibrated the screen.Success for a few hours then the same happened again.I re-calibrate the screen, everything works fine for a few hours then I have to do it all again.I've re-flashed, soft and hard reset and still it's the same.Had to resort to using my N95 at the moment until I find out if there is a solution or whether it is getting returned to Nokia under warranty.Any suggestions would be helpful.

Am I the only one that is having trouble with the calibration of the touch screen on the Torch 9800. This is so far the only complaint about the phone.
