Motorola Motoactv :: Golf Clubs Profile Distances Too Short
Apr 9, 2012
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?
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'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.
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.
I recently became a Motoactv owner, in my Settings I have tried without success to upload a photo. I click on the silhouette and a Window comes down, I go to a photo on my computer but when I click on "Open" nothing happens.
Why won't it let me upload a profile picture (web portal)...I have a jpeg and its under the max file size but it will never take. I see some people were successful and have photos.
I would like to know if I can rename the Bike Profile names. I am getting My Mountain Bike8 now and how can I reset to become My Mountain Bike1? I have already deleted/forgot from My Mountain Bike1 to 7.Moreover, from the attached photo which I captured from your website, the names of the Bike Profile seem modifiable. How can I do that?
Why is the Apple iPad not listed as a potential selection under tablets when editing my user profile? The only option I can choose is "I don't own a tablet", which is not true! The Apple iPhone is listed, so the Apple iPad should be listed as well.
So 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.
Is there a plan to incorporate support for the ANT+ Fitness Equipment Device profile? Seems that this is the only fitness related profile that is missing from the MOTOACTV. I would love to be able to use this device primarily with the Concept2 Indoor Rowing machine (as well as some Spin bikes at the gym). The Concept2 monitor software supports the FE profile and it would be nice to be able to pair the MOTOACTV to track the many meters that I'll be rowing this winter indoors. In addition... just a future thought... the accelerometer would open up the possibility of using this device as a stroke coach for on-water rowing (i.e. stroke cadence)! Nothing wearable exists like this on the market for us rowers...we have to log our workouts manually and don't have a means to retain detailed metrics such as power graph over time etc.
Will the next iOS update provide users to set up profiles that can be changed manually or by a chosen location setting. Or an a app with the same ability
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.
