And - this isn't technically "call recording" as there's no dialer or cell radios.

So, I found this app (*WARNING*) it's HORRIBLE "Personal Call & Voice Recorder" it pops annoying adverts, notification bar adverts, and creates icons on the desktop on every execution!!! HORRIBLE. HATE IT. But, it does allow automatic background voice/or call recording.

And it has 6 different selectable inputs available on moto e.g. (Microphone, speakerphone, line, intercept..., ) and it (for the most part) is functionally accessible on motoactv screen.

I set it to start recording on mic

plugged in 4 contact headphones (with mic) to motoactv

and initiated a call on my phone

call was automatically routed to motoactv

motoactv automatically switched to Launcher moto software

after conclusion of call... It went back to Personal Call & Voice Recorder with a prompt to save/email recording.

But my motoactv was soooo slow and it tried to instantiate another advert that my system crashed and I didn't have the patience (GODDAMN swype takes a long time to bring the keyboard up).

But my point is, maybe if someone has an overclocked moto and fifteen minutes or so, they could give this a try and see if it actually records the audio on at least one of the six different inputs? (OR another application that does background recording)?

If not, I'll try and delve into this more tonight.

[Other SmartWatches] vipfreak:
I reacquired a Motoactv watch after being disappointed with the current crop of watches out now. (how hard is it to make a watch with a micro sd card slot...). I also didn't like the closed interface because I just wanted to utilize the music player. I tried to get a custom setup via a rom, but it doesn't seem as straight forward on this thing to mod. I was able to do root, but then couldn't get the watch to mount as a drive on my PC.

I'd only like to get a music app (I like folders not tags...) and maybe streaming radio on this watch. I'm not quite sure how to go about this. I've read a lot of threads here, but just can't follow it.

Thanks for your help in advanced.

BT Heart Rate + BT Headphones simultaneously

Does anyone have tried to connect two BT devices simultaneously with the the MotoActv?

Ideally I'd like to connect the Wahoo Blue HR (Already have and working) with a BT Headphones (don't have yet and but thinking about the Plantronics Backbeat GO) simultaneously.

Thanks for your inputs!

Cool Android Boot Animation...

This is a simple conversion. I am not the author or the artist behind this beautiful boot animation. All I did was resize it to match the MotoACTV's screen size.

Back up original animation by copying bootanimation.zip from /system/media on your watch to your internal SD card. Rename it to Motoboot.zip.

Download attached bootanimation.zip and copy it to /system/media on your watch.

Remember to have your watch rooted first. I personally prefer using root explorer. It makes life easier for modders.

Enjoy

Hi there Jay...

I was wondering if you could help me out with some grinding issues I've been facing with the watch. After heavy usage and intensive testing, I have faced the following:

1. As posted by reddog, LCD Density Changer won't change the DPI regardless of what value you put. I have superuser installed and updated with automatic enabled permissions. I've tried all sorts of tricks I could think of... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

2. Several apps have a search option (Magnifying Lens Icon) allowing you to search their inventory. Examples: VEVO, Youtube, AppPlanet, and many other... When clicking on the search Icon, the applications crash and quit back to Go Launcher. Again, I'm not sure what;s going wrong here.

3. Someone posted that Skype is not signing in. I did some research and found out that Skype for Android uses some dependencies not found on the watch. Suprizingly, the Skype Lite version for Android works flawlessly (without VOIP :-P). I'm attaching the Skype Lite version in case any one's interested.

4. Have you figured out which app is suitable to watch Youtube without the lags and loss of syncs ?

Would really appreciate your help and advice.

Is there a certain Root Explorer that your using to copy and paste to the System? I've tried with RootExplorerv2.17.2 and can't get it to paste into /system/media, when I tap on "Mount" it does nothing!? Any suggestion?

Also would love to see a list of Apps y'all are using that work with the MotoActv with links for Downloads!

Thanks to BigNas76 for setting this Thread off and a Big Thanks to Jay4255 for making life with this MotoActv sooo much easier!!!:D Big Up man Great Work!!! And the rest of the MotoActv peeps on the Thread keeping it alive!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
What the OP could do is go through the thread and post links to the most valuable posts in the original post. :) That would help tremendously!

Or possibly make another "MotoACTV Development" thread, with those links (and quotes possibly) in it?
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
Follow these steps:

1. Make sure your watch is properly rooted. I highly advise using SuperOneClick.

2. Before pasting to /system/media make sure that the status bar reads "Mounted as r/w" (Read/Write enabled) by clicking the "Mount R/W" button.

If both of these steps do not work:

- Try rerooting your watch again using SuperOneClick. A failure might have occurred while rooting the first time.

- Try checking another copy/version of root explorer. Your copy could be corrupt or malfunctioning.

My expertise will get you this far. Further troubleshooting requires a more thorough analysis of your problem.

---------- Post added at 03:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

That would only serve as a short-term solution. Ultimately what we need is dedicated forum. Hopefully xdadevelopers would provide us with one. Otherwise we might have to go for alternative solutions... Like setting up our own forum :-) But it's too early for this suggestion. Let's just wait and see. Your idea sounds great for now.

Charging LED flashlight

I was charging my watch last night, and noticed that the charging light is quite bright. Maybe an app to use kt as a flashlight would be cool! Thanks! I am running 16 gig with both motoactv launcher and adw ex. Adw works well because of the gestures you can set to do different launcher functions. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Jay4255:
1) I'm not sure what could be causing that. I'll try and figure out what's going on.

2) Many apps rely on the Google Search APK that is typically installed on phones instead of using their own search functions (like Amazon). Since that APK is missing from our device, the app doesn't know what to do and crashes.

3) Appreciate that, I'm sure it'll help someone.

4) No. I use my tablet for media, not my watch. I would suggest trying something like Startup Manager to turn off the things you don't need running in the background at startup. Will help free some RAM and possibly make YouTube work a little better.

I am also using 2.17.2. While you don't get a big notification saying something happened, but just to the left of the Mount button, you should see the letters "r/o" or "r/w" and the Mount toggles between them. To do modifications, you need to make sure it shows "r/w" before you do anything.

Thanks for the appreciation. It really means alot.

Fancy widgets weather not updating

Hey, love the weather widget in fancy widgets, but it refuses to update once installed no matter what I try. Anyone have this working and have any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] TheEndGame7:
OK, I was finally able to get Root Explorer into "r/w" mode... BUT, now I've ran into another problem with "Deleting or even Overwriting" the bootanimation.zip... or any file in the System/Media folder for that matter... "When I delete the bootanimation.zip and paste the custom one, it will still asked to overwrite it!" If I delete the bootanimation.zip and back out of the folder once I go back into it, bootanimation.zip is still there.

Keeps stating that there's not enough space (107.39MB used, 47.7MB free, r/w) and the file is only (1.66 MB) so what am I missing here?

To mount as a drive, use the root tool and select to Stop ADB and Enable USB. Or use ADB command "adb shell stop adbd". Been explained thousands of times, as well as on the FAQs and Wiki.

More Than One

Hi,

I've used the Actv with both a phone connected through the MotoActv app (HTC One - Root/Rage Rom) and a pair of BT headphones (Jaybird Freedom 3s) and other than some absurd battery drain, I didn't see any problems with audio streaming, communication with the phone, or interference with the workout tracking. Hope this helps.

Another charging issue

So, my MotoACTV was working just fine. Then one day, I plugged it in, the charging light went on for a few seconds and then it went out. Thing is if I held the plug with a forceful angle, it would charge the battery okay and the battery hold charge. Maybe it's the port?

So I disassembled the watch to examine it. What I learned was:

* If I plug in the cable with the battery disconnected, the light stays on

* If I insert the battery while the light is on, it goes out

* Without the battery, the voltage out shows the regular charging voltage at the battery out pins (~4.7 V)

* After I insert the battery the light goes out and the voltage shows the battery voltage (3.7 V)

* If I take out the battery with the cable still plugged in, the voltage at the battery out pins show 0V

What could the problem be? Is it the battery charging circuit? Is it a bad battery?
[Other SmartWatches] |SavageD|:
I would say it's the port. The mere fact that it has to be held at a forceful angle says so. The connections aren't in properly.

I always file those little grippers off my USB cables to avoid problems like these :/.
[Other SmartWatches] laaceituna:
sorry, "those little grippers" can you put any picture. Thank you
[Other SmartWatches] |SavageD|:
If you look closely in the image, you'll notice a tiny bump at the edge of the USB cable. These 'bumps/prongs' are used to hold the USB firmly in place when charging. However, they more often than not make the USB placement too tight, and over time, after constant tugging and pulling of the USB cable into and out of your device, it damages the port. I have seen it happen countless times to my friends many electronic devices. Never happened to me though since i always file it down.

It's a rather stupid design feature, I'm convinced that manufacturers do this to reduce the expected life of devices so you would have to buy newer versions :/.

[Other SmartWatches] rborg:
It certainly strives to solve the problem of not having notifications for all apps in motoactv, but mine hasn't been working consistently lately and I'm not sure why. I got a bit frustrated with it lately and haven't bothered to keep it running. Let you know tonight. I'll fiddle with it a bit.

I watched a few videos on it but I'm not sure it's worth almost 7 dollars. I don't know if you guys have found any really good uses for it please let me know and I'll give it a shot.
[Other SmartWatches] gigaguy:
I have had it for about a month. I really like it. I get work email on my phone, and getting that sent to my watch is really nice. I dont have to pull my phone out of my pocket just to see if it's something that need immediate attention or not.

Also, while I am out running, it's nice to see who is emailing, calling, or whatever. Once configured, it's pretty stable and works quite well.

You can also set it to send other alerts, like say if a pic upload fails to upload automatically.

Motoactv stuck with M with rings

Question can I use Cleard's tool to return to stock after I run the fastboot -w command? I am stuck at the same screen as well?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You don't even need to wipe. Return to stock auto wipes.

[Other SmartWatches] SageForce:
Okay last question if I'm on the bootloader screen but it doesn't say fastboot I'm not on the right screen correct? Because it still appears to have accepted the restore but still boots and hangs at the M logo screen until the battery dies.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Correct, the bootloader screen that doesn't say fastboot is not fastboot and will not work.

It would probably error out if it didn't work also. I suppose you could try wiping, but under normal circumstances it shouldn't matter if it went through the first time. There's even a button for that in the tool. It runs the -w command in a prompt for you. :)

Did the screen say anything in the command prompt that opened up?

[Other SmartWatches] SageForce:
Thanks for the response no it doesn't show anything. I have been in the fastboot screen and select return to stock. It erases and writes the preinstall and boot.img without any errors. Then restarts but still gets stuck in the same screen. It's really odd. I have even tried holding "Start, Vol + & -, and power for 30 seconds plus. And nada. So I'm outta tips and combinations. You guys have any other ideas? I can make a video of what I have done to show if you like.

Wait, does it only write those 2 images? If so, you're missing at least one big one.

Well earlier when I sent the screen shot the battery died while the M logo is shown with the rings flashing around the logo. I have recharged it and have just pressed the power button and now it's back at the M logo with rings flashing again. Going to see if it actually completes at some point. Should I try this to see if it completes after a few power on's

sent from - At&t Note3 - still stock
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You can try, but I'd try to turn it off and let it charge from the wall charger up to 100% when you can. You can try downloading cennis91's factory images for the 8gb and 16gb models, and flash one of those at a time, although the included image is the 8gb image that cennis91 posted. Maybe try the 16gb image? Oddly enough, they both booted up on my unit. Wipe before flashing. :)

Which Flash tool should I use? Root Tool 2.01 or Flasher V3 or do you have another tool to use to flash those Roms till I get it too boot? or should I use the flash-all.bat that's located in the images to try and get this sucker working again?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
The batch file may work, if you've got fastboot and adb drivers installed. Otherwise, use the image flasher v3, or you should actually be able to flash it through recovery, I believe.

WHY IN THE F didn't they include a microphone or speaker or vibrator? Why did they disable audio access? Really wish Motorola or Google or whatever would be a little more open, transparent, and helpful. Seems like these dickbags just release a closed product at $500... and then give up when they realize that people aren't going to pay that much for them... then two/three years later when prices have come down to a reasonable price that the Devs can buy them and develop and other enthusiasts get into the HW, the mfg has already abandoned the HW and locked down the SW releasing no more sourcecode or firmware or updates or anything.
