Is it possible to voice dial from our bluetooth headsets? I have a blueant z9i and i haven't figured out a way to easily do this... is it part of android even? Maybe this could be a reason to upgrade my earpiece.
I seriously cant be the only one here who has attempted to voicedial from a headset??? Its not working for me on my blueant z9i, but what is everyone elses experience attempting this?
I have not been able to voice dial from either one of my headsets. Both moto, neither handsfree or stereo headphones w/ mic.

Well, since nobody is answering your post, best I can do is tell you what mine does, different hardware though.
When I press on the earpiece button, my phone beeps once, and the voice command is activated. You say, example, "Call HOME", and the phone beeps twice, a menu comes up on the screen where you have to touch-select what you just said out of a selection of 3 to 5 items . Then it dials the number.
The feature is useless - since if I have to dig the phone out of my pocket to touch the screen after saying the command, I may as well as just dialed it with my finger to begin with... so you're not missing much.
Plus - if you drive a standard - letting go of the wheel, or giving up shifting to futz with your phone - is simply not an option in regular city stop n go traffic. Handsfree, with finger confirmation, lol. Got to wonder sometimes.

I am trying to use the voice command feature w/my Galaxy S4 w/4.4.2 (KitKat, NK1).
Voyager and Edge headsets have a feature where a 2 second press on the Mute button when not in a call will launch Voice Search on the phone so you can use voice commands from the headset (e.g., "Call xyx on mobile") to make calls.
While connected to my phone but not in a call I press the Mute button for two seconds. I hear a brief low tone (from the headset) and then nothing - I never hear the Google Voice search tone/prompt coming from the phone through the headset.
Everything is configured properly as far as I can tell:
1. Audio over Bluetooth and requests over Bluetooth are enabled in Google Search.
2. Bluetooth commands are enabled in S4 settings when the phone screen is locked.
3. Phone is connected via BT to headset.
4. Legend has been granted access to contacts and call history. (Not sure this even matters for this issue.)
5. Firmware has been updated on the Legend to the latest and rebooted the headset and unpaired and paired it again.
I tried disabling S Voice (I never use it, but went ahead and turned it off) and that didn't help.
FWIW, I get the same results with the Edge headset as well. (Also updated to current firmware.) Since both fail I'm thinking that this is a Samsung issue.
Help! Any known work-around to get this to work. This makes the headset useless to make calls w/the phone in my pocket - I have to take my phone out, wake it up, enter my pin, and hit Home to go to the Google voice search prompt and then talk via the headset. Not exactly convenient.
Help! (And thanks!)
Holy Buttons, Batman. Figured it out.
<gulp> Operator error.
Was hitting the wrong button. Call button for 2 secs, not mute/voice command button.
Crawling back under my rock now.
I updated and paired with my Xperia-z3V, and was extremely pleased that I could call with it.
I unpaired and paired with my other Xperia z3v and calls wouldn't go through the watch speaker. It simply dials through the phone itself.
To unpair you have to factory reset. The 2ND phone has all the same apps of the other one.
I powered everything down, powered back up, did the factory reset again, still not ankle to make and take calls with the watch.
Wondering if this isn't a simple fix I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated.
Open the Phone app on the watch itself and grant permission to make phone calls.
Every permission is granted. Power cycling, even another reset. Still the same. Acts like it did before the update. I can dial with it, but my phone comes on and all sound goes through it. The speaker works when I set the sound on the watch settings. Very frustrating.
Use the phone app on the watch to initiate the call.

Yes, of course I am.
This seems to be a Bluetooth issue. I repaired it to my other phone and it works, but I can't find any settings on the phones that are different.
What makes me think it's a Bluetooth issue is that, while paired to the second phone, when I try to call from the watch, the outgoing call screen pops up on the phone and the "Speaker" option flickers between speaker and Bluetooth device for a second. It always reverts to the phone, but just to the regular phone ear speaker.
It's actually paired and functioning properly with my work phone, which is what I need it for. But it's just frustrating not understanding what's wrong.
On the watch... go to settings/Bluetooth and toggle on 'play phone audio on watch'.

Yes, this is checked on both Sony Xperia Z3v phones. Now Nisbet phone works properly to make and take calls. It'll do the command, but voice still defaults to the phone. Often when I receive a call I'll simply grab the phone and answer, but the watch will continue to ring.
Look on your phone side (Xperia z3v), go into your settings and then Bluetooth. This should list all devices paired with your phone. Look at the entry for your Asus Zenwatch. Does it show connected for call audio? Compare what the Bluetooth settings say on your working z3v verses the on that doesn't work. Good luck.
I'm having the same problem. In the bluetooth settings of my iphone 6splus it shows Asus Zenwatch 2 connected when I click it just has option to forget device nothing else.
Having the same problem. Watch's only bluetooth option in settings is scan for nearby devices (which finds none) or unpair device. On the phone's side (Nexus 6P) in my BT settings, it only shows "use for contact sharing." Watch doesn't tell me there's a phone call. Pretty useless IMO. I'm a week over returning it too
Hi guys, Does anybody know why I got a message "unfortunately message+ has stopped" while trying to setup calling feature. Any ideas?
No audio on watch only on phone

I found another bluetooth device that had "Call Audio - on". I selected "off" on this device and "on" for the Zenwatch2 and now I get audio on watch and can make and receive calls thru the watch.
Still no success. Anybody found a solution?

I previously had a Zenwatch 1 and now a 2. Trying to make and take calls. I did all above but still could not get the watch to make calls. It just make the call on the phone. Anybody found a solution. "Phone Audio" is enabled in Bluetooth settings and Phone Audio enabled in watch too.

EDIT: NVM, not it worked, i check everything in the settings of BT and everything was ok, i unticked and tick to see, and did a restart. Tried a few attempts to make a call from the watch and nothing, switch the sound off and on, and now is working thru the speaker of the watch with the option of phone in the watch. I just hope for google to implement a button to switch from the watch speaker to the headphones or wireless headsets
Hello everyone
I bought Amazfit GTS 2 recently. It's a great smartwatch. One of its options is connecting the watch to the phone through Bluetooth and then I'm able to receive incoming phone calls on the watch, answer them and speak with the watch's microphone. It is a very useful option, however I have found one problem I need help with:
1) When I set the watch to receive incoming phone calls, as mentioned above, then the problem is that when I CALL someone (an OUTGOING phone call) I am NOT able to switch to speakerphone... What happens is that the phone call screen shows that the phone is connected to Bluetooth (GTS 2) and there's no option to switch from that to "speaker"....
Is there any option to keep the incoming calls through the watch option WITHOUT losing the ability to switch to speaker mode on outgoing calls?
Anyone has a solution?
2) Additional little question: I read that the GTS 2 is "5ATM" in water resistance.. now, this specific watch has a speaker and a microphone, so I was wondering- does 5ATM mean I can actually swim with the GTS 2 underwater in a pool? The microphone socket/the microphone itself won't get damaged from the water? Water won't be able to penetrate the watch through the speaker?
Any help with my questions above will be appreciated..
Thanks in advance..

I have the same and this feature only works for incoming calls.
The water resistance reaches 50 meters, there should be no problem in the pool.
So I usually send an receive Whatsapp audio messages, and sometimes I listen to these messages by placing the handset on my ear, it is a cool functionality that allows me to listen to the message through the top speaker when the proximity sensor is triggered.
The problem is that sometimes something is flipped over, so by default the message would play through the top speaker, and when I bring the phone to my ear, the message is played through the bottom speaker. I've been embarrassed by this a couple of times when I'm trying to listen to a message when others are around me. The only solution I know is restarting the phone, which is very inconvenient.
Any idea why this is happening? and how to fix it? P.S: my phone is not rooted.
Thanks
