Answer call and talk through wear device - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was wondering if it is (or could be) possible to use the watch mic to talk in a phone call and use the headphones to listen to the person on the other side.

I dont think that would be possible at least not until the bluetooth headset update goes through. since theres no headphone jack on the devices.

Oh, no, what I mean is talk through the watch mic and hear through headphones attached to the phone (assuming the headphones don't have mic of course).

Do not Google HotWatch.... They are a complete mess and you may never get the watch you paid for. Constant lies, misdirection, and broken promises.

I use smart watch witch a headset or earplugs

I've heard that they now sell headphones with a built in mic!! Technology is awesome. The rumor on the street is that wireless headphones will be a thing soon.

My AKG headphones specially built for listening to music and dj use don't have mic, that's why I'm asking.

I'm very interested in this too!
I think the Samsung Gear can do this, but that's Tizen not sure about anything else.
I think it would be wise to invest into a watch with mic and speaker and wait for possible Android Wear update that would allow to make/answer calls this way. But I have not found any info regarding this.
Anyone?

Or even easier, would it be easier to achieve talking into the watch but hearing the other party from the phone speaker? Like let's say you're doing dishes or fixing something and can't pick up your phone at the moment but just turning your wrist wouldn't be a problem

They should have that option in next update. Although I think I saw an xposed module or an app that let you launch the calls directly though the phone speakers so it might work for you.

futuristic
certainly is a nifty feature, although i don't think its possible yet, it will definitely be coming next year

Gear S will have this since it's a stand alone device not a commission. Similar to the omate truesmart which was a nice little device that ran full android.

Is there already a app for?

I'm searching for 2 weeks and i haven't found nothing. I think we have to wait Big G for an update that u can choose if u want to speak trought phone or thought watch.
Or we have to wait a good developer to support for made an root app or an xposed module or something like that i don't know.
We have to wait a long time for now.

why you don't want to use watch phone to talk directly ?
they don't have microphone built-in ? i am sorry i haven't
used it ,that is why i asked .but as i knew ,smart watch
can answer the call ,they should be not problem with talking
and listening through it ,shouldn't it ?

[Q] iPhone headphone-controller for android

hey gues does any one know if the iphone headphones + controlers would work for the HD2? im looking for some headphones at a decent price to repleace my lost HTC headphoens.
Hmm.. I think those controllers only work with the iPhone. You should know how Apple tries to prevent using their accessories on other hardware

They work (sort of), I've got a set, answering calls works and so does play and pause, only volume up and down doesn't work (referring to the 'in ear' versions that were approx £60)
They really do? Which kernel are you using? I would have never thought that they do

G2 to PS3 via bluetooth

Does anyone know if by any means it might be possible to use our G2 as a bluetooth earpiece with speaker on of course for use with a playstation 3? i hate all the dinky earpieces and it just seems like it would be a really great feature and we have made some pretty good bluetooth advancment over the past few years. Just wanted to shoot that out there to see if i can get any input or ideas on the possibility of this option. Thanks, veritasaequita
That would be pretty cool, or for XBOX. I only use it for borderlands System Link Games but having a way to just have my phone play it instead of a stupid headset would be awesome

i've been thinking the exact same thing, but not for the g2 as i don't own it lol more like the G1 i am thinking of getting desire z some time early next year (due upgrade on december 10th but to leave the plan im on to save monies)
that would be interesting though will keep an eye on this post.
as for the xbox, does it have bluetooth?
I was looking for an app for this not too long ago. Yes Xbox has Bluetooth for its controllers, but I don't believe its accessible
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Sounds like the best we get is the Wii Controller lol
I asked with no true answer
I asked this along time ago when I owned a G1, they said it may be possible but no one ever put the idea to test. Im guessing the G2 has more bluetooth capabilities being a newer device and probably can do it. I think we need a developer.
I have the G1 here willing to test anything dangerous and the G2 is the baby
My understanding when I had my MyTouch 3G was that the Nexus One had a higher level of Bluetooth that could access the Wii Controller and my phone could not. I'm sure it's the same kinda thing.
I would think it should. Ps3 uses bluetooth 2.0 and says is backwards compatable with bt 1.0 i dont have a ps3 and dont use bluetooth so i cant be certian but it should be a software issue so an app is needed

WIME Nano Smartwatch, looks nice

Interesting Android smartwatch here. It can actually be used as a standalone phone, bands are GSM/GPRS Quad Band:GSM 850/900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 MHZ (can this be used on AT&T?).
What I'm not seeing is if it can be used as a dialer for your phone, so you can just leave it in your pocket and make and receive calls like the Gear.
What do you guys think? I'm tempted to get it just to play around with.

Doing some further reading, yes you can initiate a call to your phone with it, woot! It also has music over bluetooth and local storage. It looks like it has no speaker/mic so you have to use a headset with it, boo, but that's ok.

D'oh. I missed it, I went straight down to the pictures. Either that or the page didn't load completely the first time. Either way, thank you!
That's not a bad price point at all... maybe a mini server or media player...
Feature phone software, bleh.
Although I guess for 100 bucks you can't expect it to run Android.
Edit: Hmm, just noticed no where does it say there's a speaker built in...guess you have to use a headset to use it as a phone.
Also only compatible with Android 2.3-4.0. Doesn't say it works with newer.

Strange, I was also surprised by that 4.0 rather then 4.x reference. And I think you are right about headphone 3.5mm jack as the only way to listen to the music. Would have been great if they would include a camera in there.
Is it ok to say that it looks kinda...ugly?
Or is it just me?

Haha, first thing that crossed my mind when i saw it.
Dunno why but personally i find most smart watches just tend to look either dull, or just plain awful. Maybe it's because of the space they have to work with? Dunno :/
You guys realize it's a phone? It might be nice to have as a backup phone, or if I just want a tiny phone. It doesn't run apps, but I never had much use for apps on a 1.5" screen.
It's interesting, I may grab one just to play around with. It seems to have AT&T bands. I don't plan on using it like a watch though, it's too ugly like that. I'd just stick it in my pocket or clip it on.

We're fully aware. It's just between recent offerings like the Omate Truesmart and previous offerings like every chinese watch phone out there, this one seems like too little too late to really make sense right now.
If you want a cheap feature-phone watch check out what's available to get a style you like. This one is pretty big and ugly for what it does.

So I got one and got to say this thing is a perfect companion for a phone at work. Built in mic allows you to answer on your wrist and be like I'll call you back it also has Bluetooth audio out and wireless headset support. Weird thing is contacts and messages won't work without a sim has to have one active or not I'm on Verizon so its pointless to try lucky I had art laying around and it vibrates!! This thing is sweet to be cheap!!!

From the watch description:
Smart Sync Function: Can sync with smart phone, downloading phonebook and call history (iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.3+) to the device. When using Android 2.3+ OS, download and install the WiMe NanoSmart APK on the Android device and the NanoSmart will sync with the Android device (Google calendar events, new Gmail notification, call history, phonebook, sent/received SMS).
Have you tried to install WiMe NanoSmart?
I'm on 4.3 AOKP linario I can't say its bougus but the contacts sync but....... With out each and every number having the country code in it it refuses to call or message weird right? Gmail hasn't worked or calendar. I refuse to downgrade for it. I use this to get away with texting and calling at work via mini Bluetooth headset and a beanie lol.

FM Radio?

Excuse me if this has been answered already. I have been searching and can't find a definitive answer.
Does the Oneplus 5 have FM Radio enabled?
No, No FM radio confirmed
Thanks for the answer. That is disappointing.

Or live in a place we're data is unstable at best. A shame really as only LG and HTC seem to have kept the fm radio chips.
The one time I definitely need FM radio is at the gym. A lot of gyms allow you to watch different channels by tuning in to different FM channels to watch TV while working out. I use Bluetooth wireless ear buds, and luv'em. I would like the option of tuning in with my phone (built-in antenna) and then bluetoothing to the ear buds. I know, so old-skool... get with the times... how would you achieve the same results? Any dongles/etc that would do the trick? Thanks in advance!

That actually never works. On devices that do actually have FM Radio, they won't allow you to connect to a normal Bluetooth device (like headphones) when FM Radio is active. Low-Energy devices such as smartwatches aren't affected by this.
Note that no phone has an integrated FM antenna; any phone with an FM tuner requires wired headphones to act as an antenna

That's a completely false statement. Receiving FM radio transmission works just fine with Bluetooth speakers.

I got the ZTE Maven 3 from Best Buy for $8. It seems to have a radio tuner. I'm sure most of the people here wouldn't consider using this super low end smartphone as their regular phone but using it for music, without a sim, seems to work well. For just over $20, I have a music player with 32 gigs for music.. It's only got 8 gigs internal storage, which is mostly occupied out of the box but thankfully it has a card slot.

Yes or on Bluetooth. There has to be a way of turning it off completely.
There's a xposed module for it named NoSafeVolumeWarning, but that requires root. There is no way to disable it without root. (screw you Samsung!) I have a rooted SM-950U, and even the xposed module doesn't work for me. Idk if there's an updated way to disable it, but if someone has one, that would be fantastic!
Although it mostly doesn't bother me when I am listening to music when my phone is connected to my wired headset, but when I am using Bluetooth Stereo headset, that is when I don't like it! I would remove it too, but I believe other phones are doing this as well, which is becoming a trend or is it the law that forces OEMs to do it?

Oh, I thought it was just the idiots at Samsung who were trying to be the savior of ear drums. I can't stand when regulations get in the way of a consumer and devices we buy with hard earned money.
That's what President Trump is trying to fix. If the left would let him. Instead MSM lies to you and tells you he's a Nazi colluding with Russia. Grow up and enjoy a strong America.
