I'm interested in getting the S10 bluetooth headphones and wanted to see how good they are. I will mainly use for running, but will also use when I ride my bike by myself.- Is it really sweatproof?- How does it fit under a bike helmet?
View 5 RepliesI have a set of Jaybird JF3 Freedom BT headphones (fantastic running headphones BTW!) - both the Motoactv manual and the device itself tell me that when the Motoactv and my BT headset are in range of each other and powered on, they will auto-connect. Of the 30+ times I've used them, this only happened once. Every other time I have to go into Settings - Wireless - BT Headsets-JF3 Freedom and hit the "Reconnect" button - then they reconnect right away. One random time, they auto-connected. I didn't do anything different than I normally do.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been watching this product (and these forums) since the MA came out. Now that I'm cleared to run again, I'm really ready to make a purchase. I am so completley on the fence between this and a Garmin. I realize people are more apt to post the negative over the positive so help me make a comparative list:PRO MANo separate IPOD!will track other activitiesbluetooth headphonesMatt's responsiveness on these forumsCon MA (concerns, eally)battery lifeonline portal issues (as seen on these forums)"water damage" issue - rated as ipx7?!GPS reliabilityPRO GARMIN 410more stable?familiar with garmconnect (I have an etrex for trail use)A true running GPSI've tried the Garmin but I have not tried the MA - I'd LOVE to though.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI go out for a few runs and I noticed that me heart rate read very low and erratic (25 bpm then 60 bpm) this only happens when I use my Bluetooth headphones with the chest strip HRM. I have tried it with the stock headphones whith great results.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI JUST got this on Tuesday at night and today is the first time I'm set to run with it. I plug my headphones in and get ready to run (I sync with GPS and everything)... only to have music not work. Ok that's weird, I go to the FM radio and it says, "No Signal Connect headphones to listen to FM radio".
If I spin the headphone jack around it works once and then quits on me. I then can't get it working at all. If I power down or up I can hear EVERYTHING (beeps). That's without moving the headphone jack and after getting the error (that I can hear the beeps fine by leaving the moto on the table).
Is it possible that you can use audible alerts on it without headphones?Also is there are any plans for maybe a feature to track your sleep using the accelerometer?Since you can use it to track everyday activity in terms of calories and stepps walked during the day. It seems like a great tool for that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI alternate between wireless (bluetooth) and wired headphones. Today when I tried to connect my wireless headphones, a pop-up message appeared telling me to first disconnect my wired headphones. The problem is that I had no wired headphones connected. I tried connecting/removing the wired headphones, rebooting, etc., but I am still unable to connect the wireless headphones.
As a FYI, this started to occur at the same time I received a message telling me to connect my device to receive an update, but when I connect to my computer I get a message that I am up to date.
My issue is that the red headset that came with the MOTOACTV unit doesn't get recognized. When I try to play music with them plugged in, it just doesn't do anything (play button doesn't turn to pause), and if I try to use the FM radio, it tells me that I need to insert a headset. I have tried to rotate the plug around, to pull it out slightly, or to push it in and make sure that it is 100% snug. None of the above actions have changed the result.
I tried using the MOTOACTV with another pair of headphones that I had, and had no issues playing music or the radio through them. So the unit seemed okay.
This lead me to believe that the headphones were defective, but when I plug them into both my ipad and also droid RAZR directly, not only do they work as headphones, but the microphone seems to work as well. So that kind of rules out the headphones too.
issues with their headpone control button? My headphones don't allow me to use the button to forward, stop, etc. Is there a known issue with this out there? The control works sometimes, but most of the time it does not....even at the beginning of workout with no moisture at all.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been having some trouble with my bluetooth headphones. Usually they work very well, I can listen to music and also make calls with them, but once in a while I will encounter a problem, when I answer a call, it will be completely mute. If I turn the headphone off, it will still be off. Even if I hang up the call, then my phone will now be completely mute (I can't even listen to music anymore). So I reset, and then my phone is back to normal.

Is MOTOACTV compatible with any bluetooth headset? My boyfriend bought me a "Stereo Bluetooth Headset" by AudiosynQ I set the device in pairing mode and navigated to the "Add Headset" section under wireless settings but the device kept saying it was unable to find the headset. Do I need to have MOTOACTV paired with my phone (Iphone) somehow first or pair the headset with my phone first and then MOTOACTV?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI thought my battery life issues had been resolved. But i jsut recently got a set of bluetooth ( Jabra SPORT Bluetooth Stereo Headset ) headphones and noticed that battery life is back down to nothing ( 3.5 hrs ish).
I'm wondering does anyone have a rough estimate of the battery drain that blutooth has on the ACTV ? should i jsut give up and go back to wired for cycling :(
how to squeeze more juice in blutetooth mode . I'm already in marathon mode , with short screen timeout. I don't anve and ANT+ stuff going on..
Polar has just released a low energy Bluetooth HR transmitter. That unit will talk to a Motorola Droid Razr. I'm thinking the droid and moto are the same technology and it will work with the moto, can anyone confirm this? I'd love to phase out the current straps for a more reliable bluetooth. The guys using bluetooth on their phone have none of the HR spikes, drops, we do. It is much more seemless and reliable. The Moto is the only wrist device that supports bluetooth, but so far they've not been able to get it to work, so I'm wondering what the latest scoop is.

View 2 Replies View Relatedjust finished my run on the .73 version for the first time. The device battery definitely lasts a little bit longer -- still dies close to 3 hours. Won't last all the way through my marathon training.That said, a couple of other things also happened. I added the Garmin foot pod to the devices linked to the MOTOACTV. I also have the Jaybird Freedom 3 as a bluetooth headset connected. Two things happened:
1. Approx 1.25mi into the run, i went to look down at the watch and it stopped tracking. I didn't hear anything in my ear -- no "workout stopped/paused" nothing. I heard it "workout started" when I began.
2. With the Garmin foot pod my avg. pace was higher -- than using the MOTOACTV without a pod (just the gps) -- is that normal?
3. About mid-way through the run, my music stopped -- i looked down at the MOTOACTV and noticed the bluetooth icon was gone (i.e., disconnected). I'm not sure why, i checked my headset and it was still on.
I cannot connect may Polar WearLink+ Bluetooth heart rate monitor to motoactv any suggestions? When it scans for the device it comes up none found. however the Polar WearLink+ Bluetooth connects to my phone just fine.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSo this is a little bit of a fail, you can not use the moto actv to stream music from phone over bluetooth to it. Which means no Pandora, Slacker, Spootify.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to connect to a bluetooth device that requires a code to be entered? I am trying to connect to my Microsoft Sync radio so I can stream music. The MA detects the Sync but when I click on it it just says connection fails. The Sync requires that you enter a code so I assume this is the reason for the connection failure.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've seen a lot of people with different Bluetooth issues but not much about what's happening to me. I assume Bluetooth is just bad on this phone. use Bluetooth headphones while I'm at work. I have to pause a lot of times obviously. Around 90% of the time I have to use my phone to continue playing what I was listening to.
Pressing play with the button on the headphones does nothing. Sometimes if it's around a minute or two later the headphones button will work. If it's longer it never works. Is this happening to other people. I am unrooted. The only change is unlocked bootloader. I am also still on MDA89D. My phone doesn't seem to want to update.
I tried the other day to connect my Bluetooth stereo headphones to the Playbook....
The headphones connected but did not work....
Does anyone know if the Playbook supports Bluetooth headphones...or has anyone successfully connected stereo Bluetooth headphones to the Playbook..
I'm planning to pick up a S6 next week but I have one quick question. I have used Samsung devices in the past and if I had my headphones connected and I paired my device with my car or Bluetooth speakers the audio would continue to play through the headphones and I would have to disconnect them before audio would play via the Bluetooth device.
