MotoActv compatible with GN?

**dbermanmd** · 11-07-2011, 02:38 PM

I am really psyched about getting a new phone to replace my BB Storm 1 and even more so after seeing all the reviews of the new android devices coming out for Big Red.

I was pretty much set on the GN until i came across the MOTOSACTV.

I was wondering if there is or are comparable devices for the GN. I exercise a lot and have been in the market for a heart rate monitor. This device really intrigues me and the fact it is tethered to Motorola Android phone(s).

thanks in advance as always.

David was thinking the same thing. Did some homework and I also believe any droid phone. Download motoactv. Not sure its avail yet. Comes stock on razor tho

I clicked on your link and found the attached file on the xda forum. I used chrome to phone and just downloaded the .apk straight to my GSII epic touch and it worked without a problem.

Thanks for providing the link. I haven't gotten the MotoActive yet, but I think I will definitely get it now that I know it will work with a non-Motorola phone.

Please let me know how you like if ABC of it works on a treadmill. Only reason I have an iPod still.

I installed this apk on my Evo, and it seems to work, but I don't actually get the notifications. My phone shows the motoactv as "paired but not connected". Any ideas how I can get these two devices to play nicely together?
