Want The Moto ACTV App On Your Non Motorola Phone? Come Get It

When we initially covered the Moto ACTV in New York when the Motorola Razr was unveiled, we pretty much thought it was cool right off the bat.  However, there is one little thing buyers need to be aware of when purchasing the device.  It only works with Motorola devices.  So, if you’ve purchased an HTC Rezound or a Galaxy Nexus, you’re kind of screwed.  However, we all know it’s only a matter of time before our favorite dev community, XDA always comes to the rescue.  Thanks to some talented folks, permissions from the app have been pulled and it will no longer look for Moto Blah, thus now allowing you to receive phone calls, texts and calendar events on a non-Motorola device which as an original selling point with the device.

Download:  Just install it on your device the same way you would any other third party apk (with “unknown sources” checked off)

    Excellent Watch……… I love it

    What a cool looking watch, and funky headphones too. I received the watch for Christmas and love it…. BUT I cannot pair it with my Iphone even though it says that this can be done by downloading the MOTOACTV app.  No such app is recognised in the Apple Applications Store, at which point I found this forum and immediately followed your link to download this on my two non- Motorola handsets. However, this app link opens immediately to ”Invalid Entry”…. as this was only last month I wonder why this app link is no longer working? Can any one of you experts please help or resend a link that will work?  Incidentally my Blackberry has paired to it when I tried for the first time, but I use my Iphone for personal use so would prefer to pair it with this handset.
    thanking you in advance…

    Hi Kellex, I just re-read your post… I was the most recent subscriber… would you be able to re-instate the links as I am desperate to try and get the app on my Iphone … its such an expensive wrist watch and such a waste if it cant be paired with other handsets. I would send you a big virtual hug…. many thanks!
