Try as I might, I can't get the golf course data to download. I'm not sure if it's the internet connection or the device itself but I'm back on stock 1.6.6 and it won't download. Could someone upload the data from their golf folder so I can add it to mine to see if it works at all, I would need the virginia data.

Thanks.

Edit: I finally got it to connect through USB, had to keep hitting retry on the error box 3-4 times for it to connect. Seems like it has a really short timeout time or something.

Stuck in Recovery, no battery?

Hi, thanks for your work with this. I am stuck in a bootloop with clockwork mod, it seems. Here's my situation:

I followed the directions in the first post up to placing AnyRoot on my sdcard. Problem is, I unzipped the files to the sdcard. So, when I booted up clockwork, I had no way to apply the AnyRoot update. At the time I was confused as to what was wrong, but came to the conclusion AnyRoot should have been in a zipped format (whether that is the correct conclusion, I am not 100% sure). After futzing around for awhile, I read the the end of the post that states I should 'fastboot erase misc'. Problem is, when I enter fastboot now, I get the "Battery low Cannot Program" message. I have tried charging via both usb and a wall outlet, but no matter how long I leave it plugged in, it seems I can't get a charge?

I am wondering what my options are at this point. From the evidence I see, I need to pry open the case and manually charge the battery. I am hoping I am wrong. Any advice or comments on my situation, please?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
You can't turn it off completely and get it to wall charge?

[Other SmartWatches] Canelwen:
When I try to charge it via the wall, one of three things happpen:

A) Motorola M appears, goes to CWM-Recovery: no charge accumulates.

B) Motorola M appears, goes to black nothingness: no charge accumulates.

C) Nothing happens.

(A) happens most often, with a (B) here and there. (C) happened once as far as I am aware.

Unplugging the device from the wall while it is powered on in CWM results in its immediate shutdown. It is also pretty tricky to get it into fastboot, but once I do the low battery message appears, followed inevitably by a shutdown.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
There's a method to clear the fastboot no charge message in the wiki, have you tried that yet by chance? It might work long enough to do a misc image clear

Sent using XDA-funded carrier pigeons
[Other SmartWatches] Canelwen:
I read through and searched the wiki, but I was unable to find the method to which you refer. My watch can only hold itself in fastboot for ~5 seconds or so before powering down--I can scarcely get it plugged into my computer. Not sure if that matters with the method.

However, while perusing the IRC logs, someone mentioned the use of a Motorola USB Factory cable to bypass the need for a battery and get it connected to a computer in fastboot. There are a few on e-bay for ~$10. I am thinking this may be a decent/easy/safe solution to my situation?

Of course, if I can get by without one, that'd be even better. I did attempt to open it up and peek inside, but I haven't a clue as to how to open this thing without breaking something.

Hello, me again--from a page or two back.

My USB Factory cable came in the mail today. I giddily plugged it in and flashed a stock image onto the watch. Now, I have a new problem--well, not really *that* new. All is dandy while plugged into the factory cable--boots up normally. However, I still cannot get the battery to charge. The only way the gadget runs is while on factory cable life support. When plugged into the wall via usb charger, the little white light on the side comes on--and nothing else.

I don't have much idea why this is the case. :( Open to suggestions/possible causes.
[Other SmartWatches] Canelwen:
So, I left in plugged into the wall, with just the white light on. After roughly 10-20 minutes, it booted itself up. Now it's sitting at the home screen, seemingly stuck at ~5% battery power. It really really does not want to go to that pretty battery charging screen I remember so fondly.
[Other SmartWatches] Canelwen:
So, happy news: my brother snuck in and took the watch while I was out, stuck it in *his* usb charger, with a different cable. The result? it actually charged! No idea why. But, we're happy. :P
[Other SmartWatches] FreeFly:
That's very odd. I've had bad cables before that prevented from charging, but not one that would limit the charge to 5%. I can't see how a charger producing enough voltage to charge at all would not be able to get past 5%.
[Other SmartWatches] DahIzzo:
same thing here

to be honest i kinda think that the motoActv can

ONLY be charged by a USB computer connection (usb cable).

i even tried diffrent cables there- all worked!!

(some from HTC; blackberry- all micro usb cables)

but however it does not work while on the normal power charger...

kinda odd....

but somehow- its exactly like that...

Warning

If you upgrade to the latest version of stock software (1.7.10 or 1.7.11) you will not be able to go back. Well, ok, you can go back but you won't be able to sync data any more.

It seems the MotoACTV site either changed the data format for syncing from the device to the website or they're now tracking which software version you are using. Either way, if you upgrade and sync to the site, then burn an image based on an older stock version when you try to connect the device to the site "replacing an existing MotoACTV" will fail. I don't know if you can add it as an additional device--didn't try it since it seemed lame.
[Other SmartWatches] FreeFly:
Installing other apps will not make you lose your stock workout apps. You can remove the stock apps if you wish, but installing new ones will not do so. In the worst case you can always go back and flash one of CEnnis91's stock images and start over, so don't sweat it.

Bluetooth low energy

Hi,

I'm would really like to connect my iPhone to my Motoactv but it seems bluetooth low energy is not completely implemented by Motorola.

I have tried to build an image from source (included latest bluez) but that wouldn't build. Probably because i'm a complete noob when it comes to Android ROMs.

So my question is: is anybody willing to build a ROM with all the bluetooth low energy files so the Motoactv can talk to the iPhone 4s and vise versa?
[Other SmartWatches] speedyink:
The Motoactv is only compatible with Android devices. You need the motoactv app from the market to pair them, which like I said, is Android only.

Although it would be neat to enable us to pair normally with our phones.. but i think it's deeper than just the low energy mode.
[Other SmartWatches] robbertraktoe:
Yes it is deeper. You would need an app on the iPhone and an app on the motoactv. Writing the app is not the problem. Getting a complete implementation of blues on the motoactv is.

And like I said, I can write the iPhone app and maybe the android app but the blues install / implementation is way over my head.
[Other SmartWatches] tansoftware:
I have been heavily working on the bluetooth stack in MotoACTV. The blues stack supports low energy devices. The BT hardware chipset supports v4.0 LE devices. This was all confirmed via JTAGing the watch. I am in the final stages of modifying the stack to support the following profiles:

- DUN

- PAN

- HID INPUT

- SINK

- AUTO

with no restrictions whatsoever.

Tested a BT mouse and keyboard, worked perfectly.

Once this is done and posted, I will start working on getting USB HOST & OTG support enabled on MotoACTV as well.

imaging MotoACTV from OSX Howto

I use my Mac for all my Motoactv stuff.

You have to get the Android SDK for Mac:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Unzip the zip file, open a terminal in the same folder as you unzipped the file, then you'll have to run:

tools/android update sdk --no-ui

This will download the actual sdk tools. The only ones you really need are adb and fastboot, so once you find them in the "platform-tools" folder you can kill the update process with ctrl-c. (unless you actually want to do android development)

I would copy adb and fastboot somewhere in your $PATH remove the android-sdk-macosx folder entirely. I've set up /usr/local/bin in my PATH, but then I've modified my BASH environment to be very Linuxy...

Now unzip the stock root images, so you have a folder with the .img files you need--should be boot.img, preinstall.img, and system.img. In your Terminal cd to this folder.

Be sure you have a fully charged MotoACTV before you begin!!!

Now that you have fastboot, you can put your MotoACTV in fastboot mode by turning it off, then holding the volume-down and power buttons until it briefly flashes (about 3-5 seconds), and you'll see the fastboot prompts.

Be aware that while in fastboot mode your MotoACTV is burning the battery even if you have it plugged in, and it can burn through it very quickly.

In your terminal you can run the following command (copy and paste them into the shell):

fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
fastboot reboot

Your MotoACTV will reboot when completed, and you'll have the image loaded.
[Other SmartWatches] FreeFly:
By the way, if you're interested in the Golf functionality any 1.7.10-based ROM will have it. I just posted mine:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28880718

Or you can burn CEnnis91's stock 1.6.6 image and update the software through MotoACTV several times to get to a stock 1.7.10 (with golf) device.

Considering motoactv portal in not working in the proper way, extract workouts from the device can allow us to bypass the portal and export our rides everywhere.

It's been stated numerous times, search doesn't work yet period. There is no fix and no rom has it working. Try the market search app to get around it.

Accessing SD Card

Hello, I was just trying to access my sd card (rooted, with dprom); I used the easymodder tool to mount the file system and stop adb, but it still is not appearing. Occassionally with my repeated fiddling my motoactv would lose access to its own sdcard and my live wallpaper would get all messed up and my app tray would only show apps on the phone. At one point my computer said that my G: drive had to be formatted to be accessed. I cancelled but still couldn't see the G: drive (which I assume was the motoactv briefly).

When I remove the cable the sd card is once again available to my motoactv, but I don't know how to get my computer to see it. The motoactv acts totally fine afterwards.

And thanks btw for the tips on this forum. I am really enjoying my rooted motoactv. If you guys are looking for a nice watch face, I really enjoy wp clock 2 as a live wallpaper and using widget locker and just blanking it out (using the back button to unblank it). My only issue is that my internal space is so limited (28 mb) so I can't install much else! I tried using that link2sd method but everytime I linked something my internal space decreased!
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
With DPRom you don't need to use the modtool to stop ADB, just go to Settings, Application Settings, development, and deselect the first box, debugging.

Then, you should be able to access the sdcard always.

Don't use any link2SD method! All packages are being installed to sdcard by default, there's no way to run out of storage.

Only remember to move important programs to the internal storage.
[Other SmartWatches] a.mcdear:
The problem with this that I keep experiencing is apps (most specifically Widgets, but some actual apps too) don't run correctly when installed to the SDCARD. I honestly have been trying to find a way to eliminate the /sdcard partition and move all that space over to /data instead, so far haven't been very successful.
[Other SmartWatches] dproldan:
Those are the important programs I meant. Launchers, widgets, keyboards, and apps that should always be available. You have to move them to the internal storage from Settings, Application settings... look for it, there are buttons to move them individually to the internal storage.

As you have noticed, every time you share the sdcard with Windows, the programs installed in the sdcard become unavailable to android. You have to avoid that for important programs.

I wouldn't recommend completely removing /sdcard, but rather shrinking it to your needs. Maybe 2 gigs, with the rest added to /data. If you completely remove it, you might not see your device as a usb drive when plugged into the computer.
