Motorola Motoactv :: Plan To Incorporate Support For The ANT+ Fitness Equipment Device Profile?
Nov 8, 2011
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.
"MOTOACTV cannot connect to the server. Please try after sometime." when trying to sync fitness data. Tried with the USB cable as well, not working either. Is the service down?
Scheduled a fitness test on the website yesterday, it DL'd to the Motoactv, I ran it - and it uploaded to the Motoactv site as a run.I'd like to start a training program, but I can't as it hasn't registered my fitness test.
My internet connection is fine, I can use the webiste, it connects and everything. It just won't sync. It won't even do it over wireless. I tried restarting the device, restarting my comp, resetting the modem.Any ideas? I have about a weeks worth of runs that I'd kinda like to upload.Edit:This is an example sync history everytime i try:Start sync with "MOTOACTV" at 2012-01-07 15:35:54Syncing Fitness data with the MOTOACTV.comFitness data sync failed.Sync summarySync start time = 2012-01-07 15:35:54Sync stop time = 2012-01-07 15:36:14Windows OS = Microsoft Windows 7Device = MOTOACTVPhone model = F100USB speed = 2.xTransferred files count = 0Total Transferred files size = 0.0 BFitness data sync failed.
Had my motoactv about a month. Traveled from the US to ireland. Did a successful sync of one run here. Changed the watch to local time, and did another run - now I'm getting "Fitness data sync failed." The motoactv software tells me to check the logs for more details. I do. More details = "Fitness data sync failed.". Not a very helpful 'more details'. I'm assuming this has something to do with the time change, but upon setting the time back to Eastern, it still fails.
I bought the 16GB MOTOACTV, and I've been struggling for days to get it working. After countless restarts, uninstalls, reinstalls, configuration, etc., I think it finally works... except for one thing. The device fails to sync fitness data through MotoCast USB. Every time I connect, a window pops up titled "Connection Error" that says "Your MOTOACTV device cannot connect to the internet."
Of course, I've updated the device software to MA 1.6.12 N16 and Motocast to 1.2.9 (with Motcast USB at version 1.7.0151.0). and I've let everything related to the MOTOACTV through my firewall. The music sync works, and I can see all my playlists from iTunes and Windows Media Player, and I can even sync the fitness data through Wi-Fi (Settings->Wireless->Workout Sync->Sync now).
I just got done reinstalling MotoCast and MotoHelper 2.1.40 Driver 5.5.0, and that didn't help, and I've done a factory reset and tons of reboots. What else is there that I can try?
Windows 7 Professional SP 1 x64 MotoCast for Windows Version 1.2.9 MotoCast USB Version 1.7.0151.0 MOTOACTV Software Version MA 1.6.12 N16 Model Number Motorla-F100
I've only had my MOTOACTV for a few weeks, and its been slowly developing my fitness music playlist. I thought this was a really cool concept when I got the device. Now the issue is, I have a lot of music on my device that I just like to listen to on a regular basis, but not so much during a workout. When I was working out and those songs that kill my buzz play I skip them, but even with a second of playtime, it logged the music with my average heart rate and activity during the song... which then placed the song into my fitness playlist.
As of today, my month-old Motoactv will no longer sync my fitness data either through a direct USB connection or Wi-Fi network. I've synced many times over the past four weeks both ways without any trouble, but after today's run, I tried to sync and nothing happens. Motocast USB will start up when I connect to my PC, it will attempt to sync, then returns with this message:
Total Transferred files size = 0.0 B Fitness data sync failed.
Start sync with "MOTOACTV" at 2012-02-26 16:28:28 Syncing Fitness data with the MOTOACTV.com Fitness data sync failed.

When I attempt to sync via Wi-Fi, I get the error: "Network Error. Internet Connection unavailable". Everything was working until today. Now, neither options work.
Did a running fitness test this evening and it gave me the audio prompt that I'd completed it. Its showing on the portal as having been completed, but its still showing on the watch as planned even after I sync'd.
My blackberry protect on my torch 9800 is not working it keeps showing "the service plan on your blackberry device dose not support this application. Please contact your service provider for additional information or to update your service plan" pls someone should help me out cz I need to restore some contacts that I backed up!
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.
In the portal there is only for 5k and 10k a training plan. I would like to train for the marathon and need to know if there will be a training plan for 21k and 42k in the near future.
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?
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?
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.
The unit doesnt tell you that you have finished a stage of your multi run
You need to pause then start the next session Then just the final kick in the nuts it doesnt tell you when to speed up or slow down like the Garmin does.
Mine is exactly same problem as the one posted below I think it is definately a design fault. url...Im have problems with support for my motoactv I bought it in us bu live in UK, Australia and Jakarta.The support chaps are telling me that I need US address and are refusing to offer me any support.My device fell out of the armband about a metre on wood floor when i was at the gym and the screen cracked from the corner.This seems to be a common issue with the device.Is has been going on with support of 6 weeks and they keep sending emails saying it has been resolved, when it most certainly has not.
I am looking to buy a second hand bold 9000 on 3 network. What I would like to know please is whether I can use the wifi to access the internet and email from my wireless router free of charge or do I have to have a data plan to do so. The idea I have is to use the limited internet and messaging that 3 offer on top up whilst mobile , but to only use wifi indoors.
I cant seem to get my verbal progress report when i tap my screen.take me though the settings to make sure i havent missed anything before i take it back to the shop?
so my Motoactv broke - I got a new one... went through set up - it included the option to "add device" which I selected my new workouts wont sync to the on line site - wifi works - and I plug it in to sync - both sya successful sync but they dont show up on my account on line?
When I click device update in MotoCast ->I get new software is avaialble for your MOTOACTV.
Current Version: MA 1.6.7 N8 New Version: MA 1.6.13 N8
I press 'Update Now'. A dialog appears Download 0% - then another dialog pops up "The update could not be downloaded. Prease try again. If the problem persisits, please visit our support site. Your device has not been updated."
I have been trying for 2 days with the same result as above. I tried unplugging device, using a different USB port, etc. nothing seems to work.
I plugged in the Moto and discovered that there was a device update. In light of problems I was having (described in a separate thread) I did not have time to let it run. Decided to do so in the evening, but was unprepared for the rigamarole I encountered. The device would not update until I updated Motocast, which took FOREVER. And after all of that, the Motoactv won't even update. The device manager box tells me that my Motoactv is running the most current software version and that that version is N/A. 0 for 2; my device is not running the current version and the version it is running is 1.7.2 N8, not N/A. That is not the version number I saw this morning when Motocast informed me that there was an update available.
Just got in from a run. Device won't sync, just sits there with 'syncing' on the screen for minutes on end. Also, the MA website won't let me into the workout data. It just says 'unable to process request'. Device synced fine Sunday, but not today. First elevation issue, not I can't even sync my workouts or view them.
I have had my blackberry for over a year and have had no problem until about a month ago. I redid my 6months blackberry internet booster like usual, but when it had been activated, none of my apps will work and none of my emails come in. My browser still works like usual though. I have phoned t-mobile up but they keep saying everything is correct and to just keep restarting my phone. i have been restarting it by doing the battery reboot about 3 times a day for the last month. I still cant use my apps. I phoned them again and they said blackberry was down aand it would come back in the next few days. No-one else i no has this problem. What can i do?
when i click on my facebook app it says ' you are currently on a service plan that does not support this application. if you want to use this application, please conact your service provider to upgrade your data plan' but i am on pay monthly and can get onto the internet jus not the facebook app. Also my phone will not connect to any WIFI at all.
I accidentally deleted a workout from the MOTOACTV site but still have it on my watch, how do I get it off after it no longer has that up/down sync icon?
