Android Wear 2.0 Call Delay Answering on Phone and Watch Bluetooth Voice Call Enabled - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is a noticeable 10+ second delay when receiving a call and answering it on the phone and the setting "Play Phone Voice Call" on the watch is active. In my case this is with a Pixel 2 XL and Huawei Watch Sport 2. There is no fix for the issue at this time. If you are also having the same issue please send feedback and report the issue through android wear. Please read more about it and star the issue at the issue tracker below. Hopefuly this will get fixed soon. It makes the call feature on android wear basically unusable.
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/71010564

This issue was reported back in December 2017. Some confirming that it was faulty even on Pixel 2/XL's launch back in October 2017.
There are about 300+ comments in the issue tracker. That just shows how bad this problem is turning into. Currently, the fix that Google released only works "sometimes". Since the same bevavior was happening to my Gear S3, I strongly believe that this has something to do with how they designed the Pixel 2 line. Hardware, software? Not sure. If you read the issue tracker, you would find that other Wear OS/Android watches are exhibiting the same behavior as well.
I did reach out to Google store's customer service and sighted the issue tracker. They are allowing me to return the phone even though it was purchased back in October. I'm still not ready to pull the trigger just yet. Pure Android is too good! If you're thinking about returning yours, note that they will keep offering an exchange but always insist of getting a refund!

Same here on ticwatch E with last updates + a nexus 6 updated to android pie . I start to think there's something wrong in stock android roms because most of the times this problem happens on pixel , nexus or one plus devices . My old lg g watch uograded via custom rom to wear os 2.0 is a little bit faster to react to calls ,even if it's not able to answer it on the watch, at least till September of the last year . Now it's a little bit slower but the call notification happens all the time and at least it's not starting to ring after 20 seconds till the end of the call when I just answered on my phone

I have the exact same problem. Pixel 2 XL and Huawei watch 2.

Hi,
Have found a sort of fix for this issue for my Ticwatch pro and S10+ set up.
Download CallApp Connect to phone and watch. Use a tasker profile (not my idea, got it from another forum) to wake the phone immediately when a call comes through and then calls appear within a few seconds. Still not ideal but much faster than waiting for the Wear OS stock app to wake up eventually and miss the call. Time to open changes depending on whether you use AO display or LCD, faster with AO.
Also dispalys a photo of caller if you have one which stock app misses also.
Downside is the app on phone is heavy on the ads/pay options and may just add a different annoyance to your life. For now I have choseen to continue using the stock phone app to find contacts and see how long i can ignore the ads!

I created a small app that would wake up the watch when there is an incomming call, its works by detecting an incomming call and tries to push multiple notifications to watch one after other to try to wake up the watch as soon as possible, and self clear the notifications once the watch is woken up. heres the link: https://gofile.io/d/7DIfyo

Its signed with a debug signing key, but that should not be a problem, could you please mention the error you are getting?
EDIT: it seems that the apk was build with test only, i will build a apk soon with testonly false and post again.

Report any porblems or potential bugs & potential solutions here

Though it would be nice to consolidate any issues we have or potential bugs as well as possible solutions in one place.
Here is what I have found in a little over 24 hours.
1. Can't change lock screen wallpaper. Changes just won't take.
2. In settings>security>smart lock>trusted paces everytime I tap on "add a trusted place" I get a pop up stating "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped"
3. There apears to be no direct way to block numbers from the dialer or contacts like on my Nexus 6P

+1 , i try and i get that error message and bugs i have came across so far are the follow :
1- Camera Freezes and Stops Working. (Way to fix that is Reboot Device)
2- The Adding "Trusted Places " under Smart Lock. (same as you)
3- Can't Enable ZTE Apps when they are Disabled (ZTE Music/Video/My Voice and probably more), i disabled the Music app by mistake thinking it was the Google one and the ENABLE was grey out, hated i had to Factory Reset to get it back.

I'm using US Purchased one (Model: ZTE A2017U )
Got mine at Best Buy two days ago.
Got mine at Best Buy two days ago.
I haven't played with the camera, so comment on possible issues. Will do so this weekend.
I also just noticed my wallpaper doesn't scroll (it scrolls fine on my Nexus 6P and LG G5).
Weak cell signal.
May security patch
Weak low light camera.
I'm sure those can be fixed to some extent with a software update.

New Issue, I've noticed that double tap to wake doesn't work consistently, in fact I think it doesn't work more than it does work.

Haven't seen that issue around on the forums. You should also post this in the ZTE USA forums so that one of the mods can help you better.

S99 Smartwatch getting to know.....

So I searched here and could not find my phone model which is an S99 from Gearbest. I just got it in the mail today and I know how to operate it for the most part but have a few questions.
I have got Google Hangouts to work with it which my main phone number is a Google Voice number which works great for me to make and get calls and texts without having to use a SIM in the phone.
The biggest things I am trying to figure out is how to put it in a "sleep mode" so that the screen does not turn on as I move around in my sleep. I have put it in airplane mode but I dont want to dot that for 2 reasons.
1. the screen will still turn on if I move.
2. I want to keep Bluetooth on to use Android Sleep to track my sleep (the best sleep tracking app I have ever used).
Is there any video or other tutorial about this watch?
Or anyone know how to put it in a sleep mode?
???
76 views and no replies. Did I post in the wrong area?
Is there just not much support here for the S99 watch?
If there is support somewhere else for it would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Type: smartwatch
From: China
model number: S99
Android version: 5.1

thank you for that however I just searched under that and there was nothing here for that either.
Is there not that device listed here on this site?
The main question I have is how do I set the ZGPAX S99 to get notifications to my watch without a SIM? I know I know it is sold as a stand alone watch to bed used with SIM but I have already downloaded Google Hangouts to the watch which is what I use for my main phone number and text anyway and it does get notifications there but not when the screen is turned off which is lame. I want with the watch face off (not lit up) to light up or at the very least vibrate when I get a new text coming in. Only when I press the button to light up the screen and swipe right to the notifications screen does it pop up all my missed notifications. I must be doing something wrong please advise...

Hi
There is an option on main screen, its an icon with a watch and some arrows at sides, that prevents the screen to light on when moving your wrist
I saw on a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR1OClhlJYg around min 27

Hi
Don't know if what I say is right becase I just ordered the watch and I'm waiting for it to arrive
I think you have to link the S99 with your phone through bluetooth, and then you will have notifications on your smartwatch

The S99 watch actually broke, both sides of the bands completely off in less than 30 days of wearing it. I liked the watch and Gearbest was kind enough to let me return it for a full refund(store credit) so I got the Finow X3 plus and am very impressed! Well, I was impressed by the look and feel and the Android integration. The only bad part was linking it up to the watch for notifications. That was horrible! It worked sometimes but not most of the time.
Soooooo, I just got the Samsung Gear S3 watch and WOW! That is an amazing watch! 100% reliable with rotating bezel and very long battery life, the ONLY thing I miss with the Samsung watch is it is Tizen OS. No Android or Android app store. Tizen has come a long way though since I owned the first Tizen watch so I dont mind it so much anymore.
Hi
You seem to know what you're doing! Not being tech savvy doesn't help. Hope you got your setup going.
Does anyone know how to get the full keyboard? Cannot find the + sign anywhere. This is stopping my wifi password being entered, therefore no internet

Thanks freddy5.
I just need to figure out a way to install the darn update now. Tried 10 times, changed sleep to 30 mins etc, but the phone simply reboots and no update!! Phone as stock factory, no root etc.
Is there a secret way to install it that I am unaware of?

Bluetooth is not working with this update. i'am not able to connect to any other device.
used for testing:
xaomi redmi 3 pro
huwai media tab
samsung galaxy s3
uelefone metal
samsung galaxy tab 3
all devices can see each other but pairing fails.
always get a pairing error : (auto) pin wrong
still 6.01 ?
or 7 ?
6
Yeah bluetooth still sucks, i. e. when i pull the phone out of the pocket in my jeans - headset looses the signal, phone app playback is still on, but I cant hear anything in my headset. I have to hit play/pause button - first hit (nothing) - second hit (i can hear "pause" beep sound of headset) - third hit = i can hear the sound back again. Happens with both of my headsets. LoL, what a lame thing and royal pain in the butt whenever i need to manipulate or pull the phone out...
GPS still also confused as hell, teleporting me around different streets, navigation is quite impossible

Wear24 Questions and answers

I'm new to android wear but not to android.
Just received the wear24 (love it so far)
I am on metro with an lg g5 7.1 nougat and watch is 7.1.1 android 2.0 android wear app 2.8
I can't figure out how to make and receive calls. How to answer texts and the messenger app keeps telling me to install messenger on my phone and sending me to the play store messenger download which says open because it is already installed.
Any insight or help would be great this watch is now cheap and flying off of the shelves so I figured this could be a good thread.
Basically what to do when you first get the wear24 and how to use it without Verizon.
Thanks

There was a thread on Reddit regarding FB messenger. As of a couple days ago, the current beta version of FB messenger for the phone fixed the 'need to install' issue.
So... I'm in a pickle.
My Wear 24 lost connection with my phone, and wouldn't reconnect. I disconnected and reset the watch, and when I went back to reconnect to my phone, the check mark and x won't appear when the pin pops up.
I've tried clear my Wear os app data and restarting my phone, and shutting down and resetting my watch multiple times, no dice.
I attached a pic for reference.

You have to go to the wear app and disconnect the watch from there. When try to repair via the wear app again. You only need to click yes to the PIN prompt on the phone. Not the watch

I have disconnected the watch from the app. It shows me the new watch setup screen. That's what brings me to the watch pin.
Disregard. LG Package Disabler Pro was the culprit.

Try flashing it with a Huawei unlock file? Half joking, but it actually worked for a V30.
I'm able to initiate calls from the watch, can hear them through the watch speakers, but the person I'm calling cannot hear me. Other voice commands to the watch work, so I know the mic works.
I've removed the VZ settings from the watch, and am using Bluetooth calling options via my Sprint phone.
Any ideas to fix the lack of sound from me during calls would be appreciated.
I wasn't sure where to put this but this seems appropriate - I've had a lot of issue with logging my google account. i tried wiping/deleting the account off my phone and everything. the only thing that worked was turning off my mobile data and trying with just a wifi connection through bluetooth.
My watch is now on 2.12 after doing system upgrade...I keep reading about people being on 2.7 or 2.8....Why does my watch say it is up to date?
Note that the Wear OS version and the Wear OS APP versions are completely separate. 2.7 and 2.8 refer to the app version. Still on your watch, but different from the OS itself.
I just got Wear24 several days ago from eBay for $50 and it already has problem. Since the very first moment of the first booting, it's lower half of the screen flashing/flickering white like crazy. It doesn't happen when it enters ambient mode. At first I thought it is the software issue, but after resetting and updating the watch to Wear OS 2.13, it still presents. I'm thinking of return it despite loving it.
Anyone having the same issue?

"Searching for Android Wear updates" notifications

hello,
as the title says, i get these notifications all day long..
they appear for half a second and are gone before i can click on them.
the attached notification log shows that they pop up in irregular intervals, sometimes several times a minute.
i tried to disconnect and reset the watch, but the issue remains.
the problem came up just recently, but i didn't notice any updates.
any ideas what i can do?
watch: misfit vapor (fossil brand), android 8.0, wear os 1.5 (idk why it's not labled 2.something anymore, but it's definitely not the old 1.5 without playstore and so on..)
phone: sony xperia x compact, android 8.0
seems like a secomd reset made it a bit better.. now i get the notifications about 20 times a day..
what can that be? how often is normal?
could someone please check his log?
to get access you might have to enable developer options, then place a homescreen widget for settings -> notifications log
nobody?
xda isn't what it used to be...
I noticed the same. I belive it started after recent update of Google Wear.
I just installed Notification Saver app (my phone does not have notifation log option) and will revert back once I collect some information...

Yeh, it is checking a lot sometimes, sometimes not that much (6 times a day yesterday!).
But today a lot more (attached picture)!
This is not normal...
thanks for the info, so it's a google problem.
i reported it now via the feedback button in the wear os app and i suggest you do the same.
hopefully they fix this soon..

Nope, noting and I don't think they will ever revert back...
I didn't use my watch the past week or so... let me see next week if the problem persists.
just updated to wear os 2.0..
still the same..
