Motorola Motoactv :: Using A Standard Garmin HRM Strap With A 16GB Unit?
Jan 18, 2012
Got one today and it doesnt want to pair with my unit. A friend of mine has an 8 gig unit and the same HRM strap and its working fine.I ask because we all know that the 16Gb and the 8GB units are not really the same thing...(different firmware)
I purchased the ACTV last week and havent been able to see my HR in any of my runs... Its currently showing the following info, HEART RATE MONITOR 33366 ANT+, when i click on the sensor it sats sensor paired but not connected. Am currently wearing the hr strap and its not working. It works right away on my edge 500 if I turn it on, so I know the HR strap works.What can I do... I need the HR data on my runs, if I cant get it working, I have no use for the ACTV?
I just got a 16gb unit, got it installed to my pc, but having the following problems
2. The unit is currently with 4.54.61, according to the forum there is an update that was released in early Jan. When I try to update using the update feature in the motocast USB software I get a message that there is no available update and the unit has the latest firmware. how or where to get the update?
While trying to remove the Motoactv from the wrist strap the screen went to some sort of boot screen listing the version and something about plug in with usb cable. I am always careful not to push on the buttons when removing the unit from any of the mounts. It would not respond to anything I did. I even tried plugging it into the computer via usb. Nothing! Finally I just held down all the buttons until it turned off. When I powered it back up everything seemed to work correctly.How did this short happen and how do I get my watch out of the wrist strap?
I want to get a heart rate monitor strap to go with my Motoactv, which I love by the way. I went to the Motoactv site and to Amazon to get a Moroactve heart rate strap and they are out of stock. What should I do? Buy a Garman Ant+ HRM strap?Wait for a Motoactv HRM strap Or maybe sometime in the future we might actually be able to get the SF700 again?
My MA is stuck in the wrist strap. I have taken it out many time before with out much force but this time it is really stuck. Maybe sweat got into it then dried. Not sure.
I got a Motoactv 16Gb (software version is MA 1.7.10 N16) and is been impossible to connect with a Garmin Premium Heart Rate Monitor (010-10997-02). I had tried everything from Motoactv factory reset to wet the HRM. Until now nothing work and still waiting to use my Motoactv. From this Forum I had read some comments on great connectivity between motoactv and this HRM.
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.
Received a new 16GB Motoactv this evening. Completed set up of MotoCast on my MAC. Unit was working fine, GPS / Radio etc.
Then checked for software update, it found 4.56.76, downloaded the sw and started to update. After about 30mins the MAC had a box saying updating, do not disconnect and the screen of the unit seems to be cycling. Initially I'd see the red batwings then an image of the unit and the progress bar underneath. The yellow moves about 1/3 along the bar then stops, after a minute or so the unit seems to power cycle > batwings > and so on....
After about 45 mins I disconnected the unit from the USB/MAC, tried a start + pwr reset but I still only get to this cycling mode (batwings > image + progress bar). Unit was charged for about an hour before I started the initial set up.
My units are set in metric. Everything seems fine when I look at my workout. But if I look at the public version of the workout, I see the values for the metric units but with american units instead.So 5.74km becomes 5.74mi and 5 min/km becomes 5 min/mi.
I just bought a used unit advertised as 16GB but based on 6.7GB Free space I am guessing it is really an 8GB unit. it says model number is Motorola-F100
Just installed newest Motocast software. When I check for device update it says I have the newest version. It seems according to the website that I don't have the newest vesion. It says There is no update available for your device. Current version Blu r_version.4.54.50.Motorla-F100.Retail.en.US. How do I update the device if it says none are available.
My motoactv just showed up in the mail today. In addition to the fact that the included micro USB cable appears to not work consistently (it's connecting fine now that I'm using a different one), my computer AND motocast both show the device as having 6.7GB of memory.
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 just plugged in and setup my 16GB Motoactv on my Mac with current version "Blur_Version.4.54.50.Motorola-F100.retail.en.US", and the pop-up says "There is no update available for your device".
But the website says new version for the 16GB available: "Blur_Version.4.56.76.Motorola-F100.Retail.en.US"
Is there something I can do - or was the update actually pulled?
When I plug in my Xoom tablet for charging, the unit will blink the indicator light if it's powered down, or the "Charging (xx%)" and lightning bolt on the battery icon will blink when powered on. It also takes a longer time then normal to charge.
pioneer deh 590ib head unit will not auto connect it works but i have to connect it manually and put in the 0000 password everytime i get in the car everything else auto connects?
I prefer using Handcent SMS, and get my notifications from it.However, I'm also still getting notifications from the standard SMS, even though I've de-selected notifications on it.Anyone know how to stop it?
Today morning i checked my Motorola Defy and found out that the one of the 4 standard touch semsitive button which is the menu button does not have any lights.
On 1.83, a Contact will show as many phone numbers as I entered for it.But on 2.3.4, if one of the numbers is non-standard, like "*82-1-800-555-1212" (entered without the hyphens, of course), it doesn't show up under that contact. It still stores it, but I can't use it, can't dial with it, etc...Is there any way around this bugEdit: It shows up okay, if it's the *only* number for that Contact. But if there's another one (formatted normally), the non standard one doesn't show.
I just purchased the Standard Dock and I must say, it is a very nice and works well charging my phone while watching movies and stuff. I was wondering, can use its cord to charge my phone? From what I understand, the dock is a rapid charger, but won't over charge the Atrix.
On my Droid X2, I would like the standard email app(POP3 for Cox) to open in folder view, inbox, sent, deleted, etc and not default to opening to the contents of the inbox. Is this possible?
Also, I moved a message from my sent folder to the inbox and then decided to move it back. Inbox and Trash are the only locations available when I select the message and then select move.
I know this is an old phone, but I like it and plan to keep it a while longer. It works well; however, I just purchased a 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo audio adapter for it.I can not get the adapter to work with standard stereo headphones. When I attach them there is no sound in the headphones and music is still playing from the phone's internal speaker. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so any pointers would be helpful.
So you turn on the X2, you have the green tab that you move to the right to access your home screen. I also have a security lock pattern that I use to unlock access. Is there a way to eliminate the standard unlock feature, so that I don't have to go thru 2 unlock screens to get to the homescreen? On my original Droid, once I programmed the lock pattern in, the standard one went away; not so with this one.
I looked through the recent threads to see if this has been covered, but was unable to find anything. I use the standard dock at work a lot; mainly for charging the device and listening to music. After the GB update, I noticed that the little widget for playing/pausing/FFD music is gone.
Any ideas as to why, and is there a fix for this? Anything in the market to d/l for a quick Play/Pause function witout having to exit from the dock software?
I'm running stock software, with no mods on the phone. Also, I am not talking about the "Play All" app launcher which moves you to the Music app and proceeds to shut the screen off at the regular screen time-out interval. This was a widget working within the Widget Clock dock software upon docking the phone in the standard dock.
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.
