Motorola Motoactv :: Ability To Set Timer In Seconds As Well As Minutes And Hours?
Mar 29, 2012
Can we get the ability to set the timer in seconds as well as minutes and hours? I do super-sets at the gym with 15 sec rest intervals and it would be awesome if I could use the timer to count from 15 secs down. Currently it appears the shortest time I can set the device to is 1 min.
I'm looking into buying a MotoActv but I can't get a clear answer from the product documentation is this device has an interval timer.uite simply, I want to set a time period (45 seconds) which counts down, sends a notification through the headphone (beep!) and rautomatically esets the timer and continues counting down.This seems pretty simple and there are some references to it but I'm hoping to get a straight yes/no before I buy. (Secondarly, if anyone has info about a version two coming down the line I'd love to hear about that as well - this seems like a great device and after spending the last week looking at EVERYTHING I can say it's an underserved market - just ready for a version 2 to really bring it home).
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.
For the past 2 days my battery has drained so quickly, and now my calorie/step count is all off. My battery was at 100% when I've taken it off the charger and drained much quicker than it has before, when I've just worn it as a watch/pedometer without workouts/music/heartrate off.
Now I noticed my calorie count is : 3525 and my step count is only at 1807, and no I'm not looking at it backwards.
On my sensor menu, it says my HRM is paired but not connected. THis is the only thing different (getting an Ant+ HRM and paired it) other than the Golf Upgrade that I've done to my MOTOACTV 8GB.
This has happened to me in my last 3 workouts. I start a workout (2 outdoor runs, 1 bike) and about 1 or 2 seconds after the workout starts it immediately gets paused without me hitting anything. I then have to hit start again and it seems to work okay from there on out. Is this another newly introduced bug others are seeing too? I never saw this until the latest update?
I've had this watch 2 weeks and I'm really annoyed at Motorola. Watch just updated to latest software, and it seemed to be ok. Went out tonight on 11 mile run. Watch failed 20 seconds after starting workout. Stop running. Try again. Failed again. I do this like 6 times, even powered the device off and back on. Then, somewher around mile 9 into run, it started recording 0.98 miles... hmmmmph... so I stop running again. Restart. Nope, fails again after 20 seconds. I get home and sync workout.. it knows that i went like 0.98 mile, but there is now raw data.
1. Don't you all test your software before releasing?
2. Can I rollback to previous version? It needed help, but it worked.
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.
I had an interesting experience after the update on my run today. Up to now my MOTOACTV has been fine, but today I had the music just stop several times mid-workout and it would not start again for several minutes despite pressing the "music" button quickly or even going to the music screen and pressing the play button. Within a few minutes of trying, however, it would start back up like normal. Also, my heart rate monitor was dropped once, but "sef-healed" and it seemed to be about 10-15 bpm off from normal at times. (This could be a low battery on the hrm, so I'll replace that and try again).
Disappointed in ability or lack of ability to customize notification profile. my bb was very friendly in this allowing me to change ring tones and separate out if I wanted notification of certain email accounts during day but not at night wish their was more ability to customize and break down notification. help with a work normal sleep mode but still unable to separate direct connect from phone call or text from email
I have a Atrix Lapdock connected to my Photon...so...its not an 'approved' configuration.That aside...do the other lapdocks provide a setting to configure the charging of the phone via the lapdock? for example, I'd love a setting on the lapdock that would say to start charging the phone only if the phones power was down below 50% (or some configurable amount) and stop at say 60% full. (With a toggle to keep its functionality as it currently does.) I'm finding that I tend to use the lapdock in shorter bursts, 20-30 mins, and if the lapdock didn't automatically charge the phone, I think I could get weeks worth of power off a single lapdock charge it if wasn't always automatically charging the phone.
Am I the only person who is unable to figure out how to play system notification tones over a bluetooth ear piece? My old Moto Q did. What I'm talking about is to have meeting warning tones and e-mail / text message arrival tones play thru the earpiece. For that matter - why can't we redirect ALL sounds that go to the phone's speaker go to bluetooth???
I have missed more meetings and not responded fast enough to a number of e-mails because of this.
Anybody have a way to make this work? I haven't found anything in the market place that works.
I have Atrix 4g. I like to listen to some music while going to sleep.I am using my wifi most times. Can someone give me a recommendation for sleep timer for music app.
I'm sure at one time when I use the setting,phone ringtone (left most screen, top switch) and set it to off, there was a timer that popped up asking me to specify a time. I can't seem to get this back.The app I had been using to set volume became too buggy with the last update and it isn't supported well. I've been trying different apps so it may have been an app that caused the timer to display.
see Smart Actions include the ability to control MEDIA volume in addition to the existing ringtone volume. The best examples of when this might come in handy:In the car, being able to turn media volume up to loud so you can stream music through your stereo and control it entirely through the car stereo. I find mysef always having to find my phone and turn media up on the phone first, so I don't accidentally blow a speaker when I get in the car without the phone connected.At work being able to turn the media volume to mute. This way I can sneak a round of Scramble or Words with Friends in without my cube neighbors hearing the tell tale sounds of the games.
I would like to have my bluetooth headset read my texts with the ability to reply. Is there an app available or something built in the turbo that will allow me to do this? I currently have a Plantronics explorer 505.
Would like to use scanner but don't understand why the security lock timer is disabled (greyed out) so I use the pattern instead so I can utilize the lock timer.
I returned my first RAZR because the crackle and buzzing on speaker phone / playing videos was too much. On this phone it's less pronounced but still there. Anyway the sleep timer on thus new phone does not work. I did a factory reset and nothing. Non related but I noticed that my 4G speed on this new phone is way slower. Maybe that's a Verizon issue.
Took away the wonderful feature of the stock alarm starting out at low volume and increasing to full volume....I want it back! The wonderfully useful & simple Sticky Note, and the neat & simple Weather widget, and I just discovered the Alarm-Timer is now just an alarm (no timer) and is without the increasing volume feature, they are all gone in JB.
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.
Have just got my new X6 and its great except that i am having problems with my connection to my bluetooth car kit. It connects fine and has paired with it but it seems to disconnecting every 25 seconds or so and then reconnecting 25 seconds later. Its driving me bananas cos each time it does it the radio cuts out. If i am on a call it seems to keep connection. I fell i may have missed a setting somewhere but cant find anything about this.
The apple logo appears for 5 seconds then disappears for 10 then appears for five and so on. I can get it to the connect to iTunes screen but as soon as I unplug it from the wall it shuts off completely. A laptop with iTunes isn't enough to power it up.
