WLAN Connecting to Home network to access the Internet

All,

just received my little one form Amazon. Very nice indeed.

However, I am not able to connect to the Internet over my home network. If I am doing a network scan the Motoactv is not even detecting the SSID. Not sure what to do since IU am able to connect with any other device around to the Internet/ Fritz.Box.

Thoughts ?

Thanks a million.
[Other SmartWatches] Artimis:
The MotoActv has a 2.4Ghz Wireless b/g radio. If you have a router running at 5Ghz only or is in strict Wireless-N only mode, you may have difficulty connecting.

Also make sure you router is configured to broadcast the SSID.

Pavel, very nice indeed... Just a quick question since I'm a noob as far as wiring/ re wiring hardware. How difficult was this to put in the motor and the transistors, and switches?
[Other SmartWatches] pavel_t610:
Hello!

Not difficult for me. I have a little expirience to working with solder. If you have no expirience with a soldier I not suggest make this modification.
[Other SmartWatches] funkigreendog:
I realise this isn't quite on-topic, however I'm not sure where else I can get an answer on this.

Looking at picking up a Motoactv now that they can be had quite cheap. I realise support is dead, and I've done a bit of research and understand that I can root it and continue exporting workouts to runkeeper etc.

I'm just wondering if the motoactv site is still functional, and if not (as I'm sure it wont be up for ever) what functionality does this remove from the watch?

In particular can you planning, setting HR zone's etc on the watch itself or by some other means?
[Other SmartWatches] Artimis:
The MotoActv site/portal is still active. I still use it. If the site were to go down, you would lose quite a bit of functionality. You can still see workout history on the watch but you cannot make any edits, deletions, or manually add workouts either. You also do not get any type of cumulative daily summaries or comparison charts (only individual exercise stats). Daily calorie count and steps taken can be seen for a particular day from the main watch screen but the counters reset at midnight and there is no way to see past information anywhere else other than on the portal (unless we are talking about manual data export).

Heart zone settings, etc. can be set on the watch and seen for individual exercises.

I suppose all the data above could still be manually exported from the watch and loaded onto another site if the MotoActv Portal were to ever disappear but I've never messed with this at all so can't speak to it from personal experience.
[Other SmartWatches] hynfya:
Thanks Pavel.... Yeah not that experienced with soldering, but I'd try it, cause it seems that the only thing missing form ma is vibration for notifications...

Thanks for your input.
[Other SmartWatches] pavel_t610:
You should be very carefully!

Hello!

I bought motoactv from a few days. Is a very good item.

I just root and make a lot of modify. In particular is very very goog cleardroid rom. I translated it into my language and all works great......

But now I want to try using my wife's MOTOACTV with the European stock rom.

But I'd like to mantein 1% battery modding, export TCX menù, and showing date on watch screen on top left.

Export menù is OK work fine on stock EU rooted room, but the other two things that I would have, I don't know where to start:rolleyes:

I've looked everywhere on the forum but have not found how to install these fundamentals mod.

Can you help me?:)

Woot.com has a sale today on the 8GB MotoACTV Golf Edition for $80. I pulled the trigger on this, just because I don't see that many differences between this and the Galaxy Gear. Expect some people to wander over here in the next few days.

My initial question is: Are there multiple versions of this device beyond the 8GB/16GB models? If so, will my flashaholicism be affected?
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
Just 8 and 16gb, 99.9% of all the devs bought the 8gb and so everything is for the 8gb. Some things work on 16gb but are often untested. Hope this helps. :)
[Other SmartWatches] kvswim:
Thanks for the reply. Next question: Is source code available? e.g if one was so inclined to put something higher than Gingerbread (from what I've gleaned so far, this is the most current available) on this device, would it be possible with enough effort? I know 256mb of ram would put a serious damper on 4.0+, but, you know, "theoretically" :)
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
AFAIK it's not available. We have custom recovery, DPRom9 and cleardroid. DP was working on a full gingerbread rom that did not include the stock motoactv launcher or any of the workout features, but that's about it. To be honest there hasn't been an update for either rom in months. I'm pretty sure the device is considered dead.

You can overclock it with android overclock and rom toolbox pro to 1000mhz. You can install chainfire3d. You can run both the motoactv launcher/workout features as well as something like adw launcher ex and run netflix, play games etc.
[Other SmartWatches] kvswim:
Interesting. So, if I flash one of these roms, will I lose all the functionality of the stock ROM?
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
No you can keep all the stock functionality

Can anyone with the motoactv arm band confirm if the strap can be replaced with a different band? I was thinking about replacing the arm band's strap with a leather wrist band to use as a watch. Not a fan of the hard plastic material in motos oem wrist band.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
yeah there is a band for women as well
[Other SmartWatches] Bladder61:
I have an arm band and no you can not replace the strap. the plastic clip that the Motoactv slide into on the elastic band is actually sewed onto it. In the picture link below you can see the square stitching pattern inside the clip.

Motoactv Not Charging

This is the second Motoactv that I've gone through. Soon I'll be upgrading to an newer smartwatch, but at the moment my only one is my Motoactv. I got my first one about two years ago, and a second after that stopped charging. Now my second Motoactv is having some charging problems, the light will turn on, but nothing happens, it will not charge. Before that, I was able only to charge it when it was off. It seemed that it would randomly stop charging after a while though. Can anyone help? Is this a problem that is common in old phones? Is my Motoactv gone for good? :'(
[Other SmartWatches] dragonfly1113:
I've had my motoactv for 3 years now and haven't had any charging issues did you try another charger cable? Or even just a car charger?

Looking into buying a Motoactv. Primary use would be for music while running/at the gym - I want a small media player like my Sansa Clip (that just broke) that I can use with Spotify, since my local music collection is now outdated due to streaming everything. Sounds like the Motoactv can do just that and can be had for under $100 now. Is there any issue with buying the 8GB vs 16GB vs Golf Edition? 8GB is enough for me, just looking for the most compatibility/stability with ROMs and it sounds like the 16gb has more issues for some reason. Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] Prack:
No need to worry about golf edition. If you install a custom rom you will get golf added as part of the rom. There isn't a lot of difference between the 8 and 16 however in the beginning all the devs had 8gb so the roms had been developed for the 8gb version and the 16gb devices didn't always work. I would highly recommend you stick with an 8 GB. Hope this helps.

Has anyone been able to install Spotify as of recent? Doesn't show up via the market search tool and the apk from their site doesn't uninstall. I know they recently forced people to reinstall/transfer to a new version of their app, but I'm hoping that change didn't kill off support for older devices like this.

Edit: nevermind, used the web interface of the play store to search and push it to the device. All is good and the latest version surprisingly still looks good on such a small screen! And it plays on my bluetooth headset (was worried since someone said google music didnt)
[Other SmartWatches] king conan:
Guys, I wanted to ask your opinion:

I own since 2012 the motoactv. I love the concept. I love to have it hacked so I can use spotify and other apps. I has so many features that is difficult to believe it was launched in 2011.

But it has two big problems. Poor battery life and it is too ugly to wear it in every situation. Other problems like abandoned device or no more support are important too.

So here we are. 2015 is getting closer and if we want something similar we don't have many options. We can get a chinese experiment or trust weak crowdfunding projects.

Or hope Android Wear gets where we want. Or may be today Apple blows up everything with a super smartwatch.

The Apple stuff is not in my radar since long time ago, but if a great device shows up with many features independent of the phone... who knows.

So. Do you think android wear will get to the point we can get rid of the MOTOACTV?

I know google said a couple weeks ago the next big update will bring support for GPS in watches and bluetooth music without the phone.

That is exactly the path many of us want.

In my mind all I want is a decent watch to wear all day with the extra independent features of GPS tracking and (why not) support for offline playlists from Spotify.

Do you think the new Sony Smartwatch 3 can get there?

I copy / paste my thougts from another thread:
[Other SmartWatches] Sqwaller:
How to extract OS from Moto

I know this will sound strange but here it goes.

I originally had the motoactv 16gb, I rooted it and unrooted it and rooted it again. The problem I had with rooting it was that the motoactv after root would lose battery power by about 20% per day even if it was turned completely off. Additionally the motoactve would lose power rapidly when I used it. It would go from 100% to 50% in about an hour even when battery saving was set to marathon. I use a BT headphone, GPS when on the trail.

After I supposedly brought it back to stock it would still lose battery power when turned off. I did this with the Root Tool 2.0.1 and a 16bg root image(for rooting) and a 16gb unrooted image (to bring back to stock). I put these files in the image folder, inplace of the orginal fiels that the Root Tool contained I believe this to be the source of my problems (guess).

I continued to use it then one day I had an accident and the screen was cracked. I went online and purchased a motoactv that did not turn on. I was able to take the screen off the one that did not power on and replace the cracked screen on my rooted motoactv. I put the cracked screen on the one that did not power on and to my surprise I was able to bring it back to life with a little effort and searching posts. I think it was stuck in the bootloader but found the way to fix it here at xda.

At any rate I got a couple more motoactvs and eventualy got one with a good screen and now I have two working motoactvs, One with root and one stock. The stock one does not lose any power when turned off even if I leave it for a week. The power drain on the stock motoactv drains as I remember, I can go for a two hour bike ride or run with BT headphones and gps and it drains to about 70%. Obviously this is much better than the rooted motoactv. So what I would like to do is copy the operating system from the working motoactv and install it into the rooted motoactv so I can have two unrooted motoactv. No idea if this is possible but thought I would ask.

I have some .zip files with the unrooted image but I can not get the rooted motoactv truly back to factory using the unrooted image I have.

I have switched the battery with the other working motoactv with no root and same battery drain. I know it is not the battery so it has to be the root (or my tampering with the image files in the Root Tool) that has either caused the wifi or gps or BT radio to constantly drain (this is a guess).

So anyone with the know how to extract the OS image from the working non-rooted motoactv, I think in the past I have found instructions to do this but for the life of me I can not find them now.

Any advice?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Root tool with unrooted actv - backup; then restore the backup to the rooted one? I can't remember how it works but I believe the bootloader was always unlocked and this should be entirely possible without root.

Are they all 16gb units? We've always had problems with those from day 1, sadly. Battery on my 8gb drains normally, maybe 20 percent daily, as I was wearing it last week.

Anyone having issues getting their Motoactv to sync to itunes using the motoactv software?? I can't for the life of me get it to sync?!?! It's rooted running Dprom. Tried stopping the adb shell and it recognizes as a usb device, but the motocast software i have installed won't see it and pop up the menu i used to have to sync to itunes?? Thanks guys!!! STILL LOVE THIS WATCH! :laugh:

motoactv is amazing

Just got the moto 360.

Made me realize how amazing MOTOACTV is!

How could a 2011 device do so much? Wifi, Gps, bluetooth, internal storage, android play store. Gosh you can even install youtube in it.

MotoACTV has better features than moto 360 in many ways.

So if you guys have the chance to keep it, you should.

Moto 360 is beautiful. It really is. But neither android wear nor its features are any better than motoactv.
[Other SmartWatches] fernandoavc:
Motorola could just release their api's for the early adopters of motoactv , they had it all first... Sad to just abandoned us behind... But nice comments tho!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
So our motoactv wiki was going to be shut down due to wikispaces moving to a pay per use setting. Only higher education wikis for use in educational settings got to use it for free. So, on a prayer, I submitted ours for use as a higher education wiki. The result, sadly, was...

It was... Approved? Whatttt? :) we get to keep our wiki!

Hi. I have a big problem. My MOTOACTV caught Fastboot Loop. When I hold down Volume Up + Volume Down + Start + Power, screen watch flashes only. So I connect Motoactv to current and showed logo with red battery 0%. I have to wait when it will be 100 % ? And then try command fastboot oem fb_mode_clear?

Thx for help.

Sorry for my english.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Yes, make sure you plug it into a wall outlet and not a computer USB cable. For some reason, charge mode cables work best instead of data mode. But you've got the idea, correct.

i LOVE my motoActv! I use it every single day. I hope their website never shuts down too. I really want someone to take this same device and just ramp it up to 2015, but without too much changes because it's truly awesome. It would be great it it was waterproof not slight rain drops proof so I can swim with it.

The only negative I have with it is that the belt clip didn't grip good enough and it fell and the screen now has cracks all over it, thank goodness I have a screen protector, 1+ year after the drop it still works perfect.

Hey guys, long time no see. Glad to see this thread is still alive and kicking. Still have my Motoactv, it's now my main MP3 player.

Anybody here had or have same issue with MOTOACTV?? Software or Hardware??

Hi there!!! I'm new here and ive been reading a lot to solve myself my MOTOACTV issue, but.... I could not... was told you guys are the best in the world with MOTOACTV! :) Ive been using a motoactv for a while.... its my 2nd unit. And im having some issues. my motoactv is 100% original, just rooted to use the export app. Well..... i run with it, and i use a bluetooth and a heart rate sensor. ALWAYS. The thing is that weeks ago... it just stopped to find the hr sensor and bluetooth headphone. I thought it was broken, and thats it. But few days later, i tried again and it... worked. In other words: sometimes it decides to work, randomly.... and when i can pair with my bluetooth, i am sure the sensor is found either. When 1 thing works, it means both are. But sometimes, you hit WIRELESS-BLUETOOTH HEADSETS - add new headset... and nothig happens... Everytime it happens I perform a factory reset, which 50% of the time, resolves the issue. Ive been doing this since then and this is a pain in the neck... :) so, my question is: seems, to me, it is a SOFTWARE issue, not a hardware, cause it works from time to time. The only thing i know how to to is to factory reset the unit. Do you know any other thing i can do about it? Any test i can do:? I love this watch, man, believe it. There is a lot of new stuff around there, I ve been following the market..... moto360, gear s, lg g wtach r... etc... NO ONE, for me, beats the old MOTOACTV... i have mp3 via bluetooth, gps, wifi, bt, everyhig i need. You guys are my last hope. Do you think there is somthing I can do with my motoactv? Is it possible to reinstall the software or start it over somehow? Thank you so much!!!! PS: sorry for the poor English. Im from Brazil.... :)﻿
[Other SmartWatches] dvdfreak:
hi , i second that, in fact i bought a few more brand new set of MOTOACTV just in case the current set i am using when bonker.

[Other SmartWatches] devinpatterson:
Yeah great little gadget. I just installed Xposed on mine. Xposed allows you to tweak many aspects of the rom when it loads up dynamically. Essentially a lot of the tweaks we see in custom roms can be done through Xposed and we don't have to have somebody bake them into a new rom. I'v only just started, but I think it will open up a whole world of possibilities.

You *may* have gotten your wish, check out these pics;

It's the Abardeen F80. Here is the XDA thread, a review by Dr. Lex, and another board thread.

For me, one of the most interesting features is that it contains a gsm phone, so I can run out in the boondocks, without my cell. But it has a lot of other perks (android 4.2.2, 1.2Ghz dual cpu stock, 1GB ram, 5MP camera). It's just coming out from a Chinese manufactor, is a bit pricey (around $200) and difficult to obtain from any north american re-sellers.

Check out DR. Lex's review, it paints a pretty impressive picture....I have high hopes.
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
i own a motoactv and i already ordered one of these, it´s not that pricey since when motoactv came out it was about 250$/280$. Besides, this has a ton of features that motoactv miss, as soon as mine arrives ill do a video review ;)
[Other SmartWatches] devinpatterson:
Looking forward to that review, when do you think it will arrive? Can you link to teh seller you purchased it from? I'm considering buying one from Aliexpress, but I have no clue how trustworthy they are or what precautions to take. Guess I'll be doing a bit of research.
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
well, about the buyer you can check the Abardeen F80 thread wich contains a lot of info including the seller i bought specs opinions etc., and i guess it will only arrive in january, cause of christmas, etc, but heres my tracking nummber RP300155779SG.

I think the point of this is because if some sort of malicious software made its way onto your computer and from there It could root your connected android phone and uploaded its own software onto your phone from ADB youd have one nasty virus that has root access on your phone and could do whatever it wants.

Microsoft probably assumes that anyone rooting their phone would know better and know to allow the file.

Personally I like MSE and use it for all my computers. Never had a virus in years. Although the best AntiVirus software is having some common sense...

im still using motoactv when i run and bike. i export my workout to strava so i can still use my fone for pictures when i ride. on one ride, the battery drained and after charging it when i got home, it wont connect to wifi anymore.

I've tried factory reset to no avail. it still connects to gps and can still record my workouts, but i cant sync them to motorola site so the workouts stays on my motoactv only. is there any way to fix this? i dont if it has something to do with mac address being zero. too bad i crashed on my bike way back 2012 trashing the screen, good thing is the touch screen still works!
