Moto Connect doesn't have Chrome Extension

[ks73417]

Is it just my device? I have tried uninstalling updates and re-installing them. yet, no luck.
I have been using Moto X 2013 since Oct 2013 and this is one of the features I really like as I have my phone completely muted when I'm home.

Doesn't work for me either.

I am very disappointed that this feature is not currently working as well. I use MightyText but i was looking forward to using an official moto app.

According to Matt on the support forum, Motorola has no plans to update the app to support the Chrome extension either.

MOTO X PURE EDITION!

And with that, the app has become total bloat.

 

[YankInDaSouth]

Yeah, I disabled it. But I guess it useful to folks that have compatible devices to use it with.

MOTO X PURE EDITION!

That bites! I was looking forward to this since it is the only Chrome texting app I can get to work at my office.

Can I ask, what exactly was / is the Moto Chrome extension you're talking about? It sounds like it could be useful. I'm at my computer a LOT and was using a Google Voice number integrated into Hangouts on the desktop but Google Voice has been quirky lately so I'm switching back to using just my cell number from now on.

I have the Moto Surround and it's nice with Connect, and I would consider the Moto 360 but that stupid flat black sensor bar at the bottom... If Huawei can do a full circle display with the same sensors the Moto 360 has... why is Motorola incapable of going with a full circle display too? Ugh.

I may be returning the phone then, I have come to like this feature on both my X1 and X2. I also don't like the fact there is no email app either, it's on x2 which is running 5.1

Two Things :
1. For texting from your desktop, I'd recommend PushBullet (https://www.pushbullet.com/). Android app, Chrome extension, does what you want it to do and more. I did hte same thing with Hangout / Google Voice but Voice just has so many quirks (esp iwth MMS and group messages) that it was untenable.

2. The Huwai watch does NOT have all the sensors that the 360 has -- in particular, no ambient light sensor. I notice the flat tire precisely zero percent of the time i'm using my watch. (I notice the ****ty battery life quite a bit, tho... )

Yeah but I cannot get pushbullet to be reliable for sending text. Sometimes when sending a new text it just sits there "sending..." then the message just disappears as if I never typed it. I am ok because Verizon has a desktop app that allows the texting from my PCs and it is a really good program. I am disappointed that Moto is spamming me with this feature from my phone (see my previous post), yet it is not there at all.

 

[rdbutler624]

Got the same email and the same empty feeling when I tried to connect. And for the next person that says; "just use pushbullet". I would if I could, but it doesn't work at my office and this one has in the past, that is why I am on this thread.

 

[thebobmannh]

Ah, sorry, didn't know people had issues with PushBullet.

 

[CJ-Wylde]

If Motorola updates their Connect App to support the Moto X Pure, that'll be a nice solution for all of us without having to go 3rd party and possibly deal with additional battery draining.

Pushbullet is working ok for me.
