Not if you don't recompile from source I don't think. From Tapiriik you are able to choose the dropbox source folder and rename file, which is cool.

I've also tweeted Tapiriik to see whether adding Motorola as a sync source would be on the table, but no response. Perhaps if everyone here asked him he might think it's worth it? Then we wouldn't need to root our devices and muck around at all.

http://redsneaker.us/ already has a manual MotoActv to Runkeeper sync. The two just need to get together :)
[Other SmartWatches] summoner:
Well so far my experience -

1. TCX Exporter does not append the activity type to the file name (I think I saw it on the forum somewhere)

2. Recompiling is beyond me..

3. I have asked Colin to update some more options for the Dropbox connector. I think given the state of affairs that is the best independent option

4. I have managed to use IFTTT to rename files incoming on the Dropbox! -> Then tapiriik syncs them to Strava/ Endomondo! Yay!

I'm waiting for Colin's update on the tapiriik dropbox connector to have this work more cleanly...

--summoner
[Other SmartWatches] mversion:
Oh yeah, I might give that a go. I thought the whole rename file setup option was to achieve that. See: http://imgur.com/HF4DoB8 but perhaps your method will work. Care to share your IFTTT recipe?
[Other SmartWatches] summoner:
Well I am not sure about the renaming thing - I thought it was for naming files coming from other sync services into dropbox

Here's the recipe - enjoy

Short note - IFTTT renames my file to .txt which bums up tapiriik... Still looking for a solution.
[Other SmartWatches] sab2624:
Appreciate this forum as I have been using MotoActv for over 2 years and now working to find ways to keep it going without the Motorola website.

I have successfully rooted and installed TCX_Exporter. After the installation I am unable to access the SD card via USB either with Mac or Windows. I have stopped adb on USB, but still cannot access. Any way to get access back to SD card for the music and manual upload of the tcx file?

Edit: After using command >adb shell stop adbd I am able to see SD card. However, after power cycle of MotoActv the USB / SD Card is not longer available and need to issue the command again. Any way to resolve this.

Cannot type on Motoactv

Has anyone else had the problem with not being able to access the letter bar when setting up dropbox/runkeeper/googledrive? When I click on settings, then click one of the options to login to my account, I click on the box to enter my user name and the keyboard doesn't show up so I can't enter username or password. Is there another way to enter it?
[Other SmartWatches] dclutter1:
I had that happen but it was a long time ago so I don't remember all the details. I think uninstalling / reinstalling eventually fixed it.
[Other SmartWatches] mversion:
Yeap. it happens when you haven't updated the MotoActv firmware. Just do all the upgrades through MotoCast, that used to fix it for me.
[Other SmartWatches] tyfont85:
Thanks that worked.

On a different note, does anyone know how to load a planned workout without using the motoactv website? I like being out to plan out my interval runs but you cannot create intervals on the watch, and with the website being down I have been unable to load a planned workout.

Thanks.

Autosync and file locations

[MENTION=238068]superdave[/MENTION] is truly super - I'm so glad he developed this app as my motoactv would be defunct without it - I just wonder has anybody else got any sync issues - the TCX exporter creates the .tcx file perfectly after each run, but it doesn't show up on the device and it won't send to Runkeeper etc. I've got to connect via USB to my PC and upload the file from the device - my Mac refuses to detect the motoactv now.

Weirdly, I have a collection of a few older runs (numbered 180-192) in the TCX Exporter folder - they sit in a folder called '192' - I can select these individually and send to Dropbox/Runkeeper but not newer ones. These runs all date from October (before I rooted the device) and in fact there are runs I did post the last one that also precede the root but for some reason also don't exist. I've attached pictures so you can see the folder and the run .tcx files within it.

When I look at the files on the motoactv when mounted on PC I can't actually find where this '192' folder is located- and in fact I deleted the 'new' .tcx files of recent runs (not sitting in a sub-folder so easy to find) so I could search for any remaining .tcx files to find and see if I could figure how/why these older runs are being stored and if they're preventing the new ones from being created here.

The motoactv still syncs the new runs (post-root) to the portal (I can't get into the analysis function, but it shows my latest activity) - so I wonder if that's the reason the new TCX file isn't syncing to Runkeeper? Not that that changes the weird '192' folder.

Anybody had this problem? It's not the end of the world, but since I cannot see the device via USB on my Mac at home, getting access to my runs involves remembering to take the motoactv to work to use a PC... and I'd like to be able to have the sync function work for the new runs, since it clearly can for about 10 runs I did back in October.

Thanks!!

Motorola removed their Motocast service, so TCX Exporter became really crucial.

Did anyone manage to rebuild this package with fixes?

[Other SmartWatches] pyuros:
Don't work

I tried 100 times to be in bootloader that colegio normally.

Then I launched the tool MotoACTV_Root_Tool_2.0.1 and pressed the button "Open ADB Command Prompt" and wrote "adb install Motoactv_export.apk" and always writes me:

* Daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* Daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

Where am I wrong?
[Other SmartWatches] cramblda:
pyuros - make sure the motoactv is plugged in to your computer via USB and you already have the USB drivers installed. Also, make sure you have rooted the device. If you have not rooted the device, take a look at the clear droid root tool about half way down this page
[Other SmartWatches] pyuros:
Thanks cramblda

cramblda - I have root the Motoactv. I have connect the Motoactv with and without bootloader. I have used MotoACTV_Root_Tool_2.0.1 and pressed the button "Open ADB Command Prompt" and wrote "adb install Motoactv_export.apk" and always writes me:

Settings.apk not signed

Superdave, if you are still paying attention to this thread -

MY Motoactv (and the old ones I wore out) all stopped talking to the true MotoACTV portal, so I am installing an alternative portal access. I had no trouble installing your exporter, but Settings.apk is currently unsigned. Is this something I need to work through myself to prove I'm smart enough to use the app, or did something break between 2013 and today?

This really looks promising. I'm hoping to be able to SEE my runs again soon.
[Other SmartWatches] sab2624:
I recently resolved my MotoActv connection to the portal by using the same ID and Password, but entered this under the "New User" option vs current. It went through and I still have all my old data and the watch to talking with the portal again.
[Other SmartWatches] welchomatic:
Yeah, I tried every option, including the one you suggest. I also have a few older MotoACTV watches with near dead batteries. Every one of them, working fine last time I used them, are now unable to connect to the regular portal. so no I'm trying to use both RunKeeper and this MotoACTV_Exporter. I can see that I'm exporting to the SD card, but would like very much to automate the process so I can send workout data to my coach, just like the old days.

<edited the next day> I think I found my answer. Partially. Instead of doing an install, I did a push to the APP directory and rebooted. Now I have the Export option in my Settings window, but I still can't get past exporting to /mnt/sdcard. I suspect the answer to my remaining question: How do you configure the exporter to export to 'the cloud' is buried somewhere in this 27 page long thread. I'll have to set some time aside and start reading through every post.

<edit later that same day> OK, now I'm hosed, and I think I learned why the MotoACTV site is down. I returned my MotoACTV to unrooted stock, thinking the reason I only saw my workouts and an EXPORT button (that worked in as far as it exported to /mnt/sdcard) but could not find any way to configure the watch to upload to google drive, dropbox, runkeeper, etc. I figured I might need to go back to stock, then go through all the upgrade processes. I WAS on 1.7.10, but am now on 1.6.6. And what's worse, my Macbook is looping through an endless request for password to modify my networksetup.

Here's the issue. There is a firewall between the world and the MotoACTV website. I can't get any firmware updates. So.... I think I'm stuck. I'm hoping there's an IMG file somewhere I can get hold of and use recovery mode to bail myself out. I'm going to try using Cleardroids ROM or the RunKeeper ROM and see if I can at least get back to the SDCard export.

Grrr!
[Other SmartWatches] welchomatic:
Annnnd... now I'm almost back to where I was. It seems Jay2455's easy modder isn't being hosted, and I deleted my copy of it long ago. I think I can use the SDcard export until i figure out why I can't configure the exporter, but I need to remap the START button back to being a start function instead of pulling up the keyboard/slider. Does anyone know what to change in Runkeeper's ROM sholes-keypad.kl file to turn the start button back to it's original function?

I'd really like to know what you guys see when you navigate "Settings" "Export TCX". All I get is a top bar saying "Settings <bat_lvl>", next lin, "workout export" next line is a drop down list of recent workouts, next line is a button saying "Export". No other options.
[Other SmartWatches] eddierab:
I just rooted and set up my refurbished motoactv. I've still got all the files I used and may be able to help if you still need help.
[Other SmartWatches] welchomatic:
I am still interested. I'm satisfied with the way I have the watch now. ClearDroid Image, with Motoactv_export and the modifies Settings. However, now I see no use for the watch's integrated WiFi. If I could have it export directly to 'the cloud' after a run, I'd be really happy. I've already exported and uploaded several runs and rides to TraningPeaks. Oh, to have it be wireless again.

And a minor complaint - Bluetooth stopped working too! So now the only port I'm using is USB.

Please let me know if you are able to configure the watch in any fashion to export workout data using WiFi instead of saving it to /mnt/sdcard.
[Other SmartWatches] marji09:
Just started using this after 2 years and MotoActv sync no longer works so this is awesome. I rooted, installed and added it to the settings.

EDIT: Sadly runkeeper does not parse the heart rate data (or other data i.e. cadence I'm guessing) in the TCX file. I uploaded the file to Garmin Connect and it parses all data correctly.

Any chance of auto integration with Garmin? I'll actually try and add that myself.

Cheers
[Other SmartWatches] jblaylock:
I just rooted and installed the exporter. It worked fine once, but after I power cycle the watch I can no longer get my cpu to recognize it when it's plugged in. Is there a fix for this? I ran the adb shell..... command and initially it was recognized, but the next day it wasn't.
[Other SmartWatches] mmontminy:
Still working? no Dropbox or Gdrive.

I know this is an old-ish app now, but it looks like the perfect thing to make my MotoACTV useful again.

I've been pulling my hair out with the various apps available. They either don't do what I want, or don't work with my HRM, or support Google Fit, or, or, or...

MotoACTV does what I want, but obviously the portal is nearly useless now, and I want my data in Google Fit.

This app seems like the answer. If I dump my data to TCX files in Google Drive via wifi, it looks like I should be able to setup an account on fitnesssyncer.com to pull that data, and push it to Google Fit.

The extracts seem to be happening, but when I check the Google Drive option in settings, I just get an all white display. I'm assuming that's supposed to be a login page.

When I try Dropbox, I just get a "Loading, please wait a moment" popup, that I can't get rid of.

The holy grail would be an update to this app that syncs with Google Fit. Suddenly, MotoACTV's would become relevant again :)

Strava upload

I've added a strava upload feature, this is *very* hacky at the moment, but thought anyone else still using this might be interested, I will clean it up a bit (lot) more. (check for upload success/failure etc!)

https://github.com/ihewitt/Motoactv_export

Edit:

cleaned up error conditions.

attached built apk with api keys.

updated to v13. added cadence estimation.
[Other SmartWatches] mmontminy:
I might be interested.

I know I briefly played with Strava, but I forget why I uninstalled it. It either didn't talk to my HRM, or Google Fit, one or the other.

I just want some data on my indoor exercising, and the ACTV seems to do the best job of estimating distance and stitching it together with heart rate, steps etc. While I think it still works with the portal for me, I know that's iffy, so I'd prefer to get it into Fit, since that's also tracking my non-workout steps etc.

If I have to go through Strava, and it doesn't molest the data, I could work with that.
[Other SmartWatches] mmontminy:
I took another shot at getting this working yesterday, and had some success.

I noticed after re-reading the thread, that many others had similar issues, blank screen trying to get drive/dropbox auth going, or no keyboard showing up. I had the same issues. After using ClearD's tools to restore to stock, I went through the several updates from Motorola to get back to current, re-rooted, re-installed, and now I can auth, keyboard works. I see a few others had done the same with similar success.

So I've now got my MA pushing a tcx file to Google Drive. I've got fitnesssyncer configured to scan my google drive, and push the data to google fit. I've been doing this for some time now using a Wahoo Tickr Run to push workout data to Drive.

I haven't had a chance to run the MotoACTV through an actual workout and see if it's going to auto-sync, but hope to soon. I saw that others had issues with data with no GPS info (indoor workouts) that I don't know was ever resolved, so this might end up at another dead end for me.

I see an issue was created on the forked github for Fit integration. Hopefully work on this continues.
[Other SmartWatches] adizarko:
Hi,

First of all i would like to say thank you for this app developer - great job!

Two small issues that i have encountered -

1. Dropbox login button (in the web view) is disabled. You can fill in the user and password but you cannot click on the login button.

2. GDrive - the tcx file is not being exported to it.

Other than that - Runkeeper and Strava working great!

Thank you.
[Other SmartWatches] lm_1970:
Same problem with Dropbox.

Workouts not uploading to Runkeeper.

GDrive working sometimes, sometimes not.

Thanks to the developers.

This is a very useful solution for those whose motoACTV don't sync anymore with the portal or the phone app.

And it seems that it is happening to everyone here.

However, the portal is working for me and shows all the activities I've done so far.

Isn't it weird? Everyone is saying motoactv.com doesn't work anymore...

Installations for dummies

Hi, Dave, I recently read your post and I want to use your software because (believed or not) I still use my motoactv, doy you have a step-by-step guide to do this?

thanks
[Other SmartWatches] bolt_of_thunder:
I too am interested in this as I can no longer sync to the portal. Is there a guide available somewhere? Thanks for keeping the motoactv alive and useful!

Oh and does the heart rate data import into strava?
[Other SmartWatches] bolt_of_thunder:
Extrememly happy to report it works! Manual export and uploading to Strava over wifi worked perfectly! All data from my indoor bike rides from the last two days transferred over (miles, cadence, speed, heart rate). Oh man I'm freaking excited! Just when I thought the Motoactv was dead.

I did find one thing that kind of sucks, but make sense. If you're on the stock ROM you can't launch the Export App unless you are connected to the computer and using ADB to start the app. And for ADB to recognize the device you have to run the Root Tool and re-root the device each time. Looks like I need to install a ROM so I can launch it whenever I want. I'll be trying out ClearDroid's latest ROM since his root tool worked so well.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!!!

Hi,

I'm trying to (still) get some life out of my motoactv, it still has all the features I ever wanted (gps + music).

I'm trying to install the exporter on DProm v8.1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746904), but I'm getting the following error:

Hmmm!!

The exporter worked just fine for about 4-5 times, but now the files are incomplete?!

"Unrecognized file type? workout_201608231730_16.tcx" is what Strava says for example, when I take my bike for a ride like I did today, about 75km, but in the file (when I look in notepad) it says about 64km.

Does anyone know what the problem is? I love this watch and I really want to keep using it, but If i cant use the files in Strava/Endomondo then I have to buy another one :/

Hi all,

Thanks to all of you here for keeping the MotoActv still alive even in 2016!. I managed to get a brand new MotoActv 16GB Golf edition and was able to root it using ClearD which is awesome. The MotoActv came with 1.7.2 N16 firmware. Used MDM 2.29 on the Mac and it upgraded mine to 1.7.10 N16. Was able to install TCX Exporter and it uploaded TCX to Google drive. Used fitnesssyncer to sync to VeloHero portal which is really a very good one (even better than fitbit and garmin portals). All is good. However, I'm facing couple of issues though on the device:

1. The battery is erratic. I'm seeing it is discharging @ 10%. Not seeing in 1% decrements. Also, seeing it is discharging quickly. Can somebody please help on this?

2. Sometimes when using the Export menu option for TCX, seeing "Google services not available". Need to try couple of times to get it work.

3. Initially, after pairing Polar H7 chest strap the Workout app will crash. Applied the Workout apk patch and now it is working great. Even though the HR value is accurate every sec as seen on the Treadmill dashboard, the calorie burn is kind of low. Wanted to confirm that MotoActv is calculating calories based on the HR value and not by some standard formula.

4. Is there any way that the TCX Exporter will auto sync to Google drive once I'm in the known Wireless vicinity instead of manually going into Settings and doing a Export?

I think overall, it is a awesome piece of product and intend to keep it for years to come.

I'm going to post this question in all available MotoActv discussions just because it is a discontinued product and people may have lost interest in it.

Please help.

Thanks.

can anyone help me re music sync

Hi,

I heard about the motoactv and just bought one off of eBay. I plugged it into my mac and I can now see the motoactv drive in the Mac Finder. From what I have read from the manual it is suppose to launch a window that enables me to sync my music to it. However, nothing is coming up. Does anyone have any idea of how I can get this to sync music with iTunes?

I know this thread is focused on sync of running info, however, any help would be greatly appreciated.
