Motorola Motoactv :: Notifications/Alert On Zone Change?
May 23, 2012
Is there a way during a workout Run or Weight Training to get a notification or Alert when I hit a zone. This would be useful especially if I am doing interval training.
I've had a MOTOACTIVE for about a month now and I still haven't gotten to grips with the Pace & Power Zone settings. I could be wrong but to me it seems like they're just not working.In the Pace Zone settings the lower and upper limits are all set to meaningless values and I've tried a number of times to set them manually with no luck. Then the Power Zones Templates are completely blank and I am unable to set anything at all.
Interesting discovery during this morning's run - happened to flick the unit for a metrics update and, along with the other data, the audio coach announced an average pace that was actually the average pace for the whole run rather than for the current mile!All I need now is for the audio alert at the end of each mile to give me the average pace for the whole run and I am happy.
Oh, except that towards the end of the run the unit went weird on me (the voice announced in my ear that I had burned 4000 calories in 7 miles and then it stopped recording the distance I had run. It was raining but I think this is all connected to the sleeve of my running top swiping the screen and changing settings as I ran - hope so anyway!).
I can't seem to change my text alert the tick is next to my new alert when i try to change it but the old alert still sounds when i recieve a text, any ideas?
I have the weather app on my 16G, and while I get weather updates every hour when I am just wearing the device, when I am in workout mode, I do not get the hourly weather updates consistently until I stop the workout. This isn't right is it? I should get the weather updates every hour regardless of mode.
Since there is no thermo on the Motoactv, I like to know the local temp while on long training rides.
I have tried several times to setup my Samsung Droid Charge and get it to connect to MOTOACTV. Every time I have run the smartphone setup and run MOTOACTVon my phone, I select the motoactv on through the app and it says to pair. The pairing codes on the phone and the device match and I select the "pair" option on motoactv and the "allow" option on the phone. The message stating to allow bluetooth pairing remains on the screen and I am not allowed to go through any further options. Finally this evening it let me through the options to allow calls, etc
I need to get my Motoactv notifications delimiters of SMS messages, but also phone calls (even without the involvement of headphones ), email, twitter , etc. Will it ever work ?
i just gotten my motoactv. updated it to latest version but the notification doesnt work when i get a sms or call. the unit was paired to my iphone but i cant connect the bluetooth with the motoactv.
I've had my Actv for a while now and haven't had a problem till recently. I'm not getting notifications on it anymore regarding phone calls, text messages, or reminders. I still get weather and facebook though. I did check my motoactv app to make sure the boxes were still checked to receive the notifications.
Before getting slammed for this: I tried to search first! The search functionality appears to be either very confusing, or broken. I could not see any results for my search, or any notification of 'No Results'.That being said, my real question is about Gmail and Gtalk notifications. I get notifications of calls and texts, but no Gmail or Gtalk. I have the app installed on my android phone (running ICS) and the device is paired properly (indicated by both the app and the fact that the two other notifications work properly).
I know we can change the call alert sound. That's easy enough to find. Has anyone found a way to change the chirp itself? I am speaking of the Talk Permit chirp. I figure if the DuraMax and DuraCore can change the sounds, we should be able to. They have like 6 or 7 changeable chirps in the event you don't like a loud beep. I personally would like a subtle tone when I have my ear piece in driving down the road or when I'm at work. An 80dB blast to the eardrum at 4000 Hz kind of stings.
When I travel and change time zones events in my calendar shift, which can be a problem with flight times etc that are always set up in local time and then suddenly appear 1, 2 or 3 hours earlier in my calendar. How do I turn off that feature?
I would like to know if there is a way to avoid calendar appointment times changing when the time zone automatically updates. I would book theatre tickets in New York at 8pm and put that in my calendar. When my BB Curve updates the time to New York time from South African time, all my appointments also change by the 7 hour difference.
Is there a way of keeping the calendar entries at the entered time when the phone updates it's time zone. This also happens when updating the time manually on the phone.
hey there does anyone know how to change the zone /country u live on the phone, i got given a ph and was obviously sourced from china and i need to use it in Australia where i live and it wont work because it is set to dial the china area code not Australia area code, phone is a blackberry bold 9000
I want to change my screen name on the MotoActv website. How do I do this? When I go into settings, it doesn't allow for this, only things like height, weight, password, etc..
How do I change the time of day of the workout? I chose the beginner Carmicheal 5K plan and did the first workout today. Before I did the workout I noticed that it had me starting at 4:00 AM. I have no problem getting up early--but I'm not doing any workout at 4:00 AM. I usually start between 7:30 - 8:00 AM. Is there a way to adjust that?
When the workout synced it showed up as just a run and still has me listed for another workout today. In another words it recognized my workout but not as part of the traning plan. I don't think I need to run two of those a day--one is enough! Is there any way to correct that?
how to change the Motoactv device to show miles instead of km? I cannot figure it out and I've searched online and through the manual. I have figured out how to do it on the Motoactv website where you can schedule workouts and view your information.... but I just cannot get the units changed on the device. I've gone through the device and tried the settings menu, but it didn't seem to be in there either.
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.
How do I change the order the music is played in? When I sync a playlist from iTunes, the music does not play in order. I can't seem to figure out what order it IS playing. No where do I see playlist options.
i am looking at getting a motoactv in the next couple of days, im just wondering is it possile to change the default unit from mph to kmh? im from australia and the device is not here yet so i cant find out myself.
I just finished a full wipe and chose to set up everything from scratch and not from Google backup. I know how to set up sounds for within each messaging app. But I can't find where to change it for Gmail app emails.
My Droid X2 seems to randomly change the tones I have set for contact specific rings, the default ringtone and notifications. I have done 2 factory resets and it keeps doing this. Is it a setting I am messing up or is it something wrong with my phone?
