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

Can anyone please explain how to make and receive a call on a watch with a speaker? I tried initiating a call on my ZW2 and it went to the phone. I then tried answering an incoming call on the watch and it also went to the phone. Is there a way to make it go through the watch (only if initiated by the watch)?
Yes, I do have Marshmallow on my ZW2. Yes, this is the model with the speaker.
I sideloaded the update and initially had the same issue, I would scoll to my contacts and then try a call, it would use the speaker on the phone.
To fix it I sweep to the menu on the right (applications), then scrolled down Phone. From the phone application I then placed a call from the contact list that came up. That activated the speaker for me.
On the Zenwatch 2:
-Go to settings then scroll down to "Bluetooth"
-Tap "Play phone audio on watch on"
-Go to settings then scroll down to "Sound"
-Make sure the volumes are high enough on all of them so you can hear
To make a call on the Zenwatch:
-You can either say "Okay Google, call ______" or you can keep swiping left from your watch face until you see a bunch of your contacts
To receive a call on the Zenwatch:
As far as I know, if you answer the call with your phone, it will automatically use the phone's speaker.
If you answer with the watch, it should be using the watch's speaker
Okay, I found it. Thank you, both KevOne and Bladder61.

I've got some questions also. I'm trying to decide between the smaller Zenwatch 2 without the speaker and the larger one. Wondering really how useful the "call from your watch" feature really is.
1) If I've got a bluetooth unit in my car, will the phone automatically switch over from the watch to the in-car system when I turn the ignition?
2) Is the watch speaker loud enough that you could carry on a conversation on the street? I imagine you might have to hold it up to your ear.
Ever since i have had my watch, i notice that when i get into my car, my phone (i now have a Nexus 5x, previously a 6S Edge) wont connect for audio via bluetooth. It connects for media just fine, but the only way to get it to connect for audio is to manually go into bluetooth settings on the phone, find Handsfree, tap it, unselect audio and then select it again. I thought it might have been a phone problem, but its happening with two different phones. Then i thought maybe its just my car, but i have tried with two different vehicles. And someone on Google+ just reported the same thing. Last, when i connect my bluetooth headphones, if i get a call, my headphones will not ring, but the watch will. This didnt previously happen. Any suggestions? I tried doing a search but didnt see this mentioned anywhere. Thanks for the help.
I have a lg g3 (ls990) running cm13 and have noticed the same, I think the watch take priority, my workaround is to put the watch in airplane mode when I'm in the car, tedius but it works

I had the same problem, but took care of it with Tasker. I'm not all that good with it, but I created two profiles. One connects Bluetooth to the radio when the radio is detected. Another profile connects to the ZW2 when the radio is not detected. Works for me. Your mileage may vary.

I have the same issue, my workaround is to disable the audio routing in the watch while in the car.

Me too, but, as someone not well versed in Tasker, it was pretty easy. More importantly it does not require any manual changes every time I get into or out of my car.
I know this post is no more helpful than my previous one, but I wanted to encourage you to give it a try if the thinking is Tasker is too much of a PITA. In any event good luck.

Simply as trigger BT, "In conjunction with radio" and as an action BT "Connect with Radio Phone / Media"
Hey everyone,
I've seen a few mentions of this issue but would like to have a thread to specifically discuss it and maybe find a resolution.
After pairing a bluetooth music device for the first time it will play just fine.
Come back some time later, the device reconnects automatically but no sound will play (even though your music app shows that the track is playing).
Turn off bluetooth, or just disable media streaming for the device, turn back on/reenable and sound comes back.
This is an extremely annoying issue that wasn't present on my last Android 5.x.x device. I'll forget about it until I'm driving and then have to wait until I stop to safely restart bluetooth.
Please let's keep this topic reserved for this specific bluetooth issue. If you have a different issue please start another thread.
My device: Spring LG G5 (LS992) on 6.0.1
Notes so far:
Simply restarting the phone doesn't fix it.
Unconfirmed - Happens only after switching bluetooth devices (going from your car, to your home stereo, and then back out in the car). I switch vehicles a lot for my job.
Suggestion here is to clear app data for Google Connectivity Services. Will try today.
Like mentioned in the other topic I might have the same issue on my Nexus 5 (2013) with Android 6.0.1 and parrot carkit. How is your Bluetooth volume on the phone when you start playing music? To me it seemed to be worse when Bluetooth volume was muted actually.

I have the same problem. Came from a G4, which worked fine playing pandora in my car. On my G5, I start pandora on the dash app, it opens on the phone in accessory mode as normal. Everything looks like it's playing ...dash shows what's playing and all, but no sound. I haven't tried the restarting bluetooth/media audio on the bluetooth device settings, but I'll try that after work to confirm it's the exact same problem.
I have been experiencing this issue on my LG G5. I have phone audio, but no media audio. The car display shows whatever is playing on the phone, including the time code as a song advances for instance, but no sound. I have checked in bluetooth settings to ensure both phone and audio are on. I've disconnected and reconnected. It did work 1 time, but that's it. I've had the phone for a little over 2 weeks and its fully updated.
I have the Same issue in my car, everytime i need to disable/Enable Bluetooth to get Sound working.

Bluetooth has been the one problem I have with this phone. I lose connectivity to my Moto 360, my headphones need to be unpaired before I can use them again, it's seriously driving me nuts.
I am having momentary phone audio cut out when using my car BT. The radio will come back on for several seconds and the the phone will come back. I am wondering if the VoLTE function might have something to do with this. I have disabled VoLTE so I can test it although I really have no clue if it is related.
I believe this has to do with having 2 devices connected. The 1st will act as phone connection and the 2nd as audio only. The phone might think for some reason you still are connected to both or you actually have a lot of range in one of them and remains on.
Disabling VoLTE resolved my problem.

First of all let me say that folks are reporting different issues with Bluetooth. Mine was that when connected in my car I would lose phone audio for 10 or 20 seconds repeatedly. The radio audio would come back on and after a while the phone audio would come back.
VoLTE, as I understand it, allows voice and data simultaneouly. I disabled it on my G5 under settings/call/VoLTE. Once you disable it you will no longer see "HD" displayed in you dialer links. My problem resolved completely. I called T-mo this morning and cancelled my replacement handset.

If you disable that, you lose Band 12 in America on T-Mobile, which I need since I drive through some pretty backwoods places where Band 12 is my only way not to switch to Edge.

VoLTE may not even be your related to your problem. I would try disabling it just to troubleshoot.
FYI still having to turn bluetooth off and on very often.
It does only seem to happen when I connect from one device to another i.e. I listen in my car and later that night I use my bluetooth speaker. Phone thinks music is playing on the speaker but no sound from speaker. Turning bluetooth off and back on fixes immediately (after reconnect)

I have Sony xperia z3 and only use Bluetooth with one device and have the same issues. Only started with 6.0 upgrade
I have the same problem on my H850:
When I turn on my headset, it will show "connected to call audio" in Bluetooth settings (my bluetooth is always on due to my Pebble smartwatch). No matter how many times I turn on and off my headset, it will always only connect to call audio, despite the option "use for media audio" being activated. If I unpair it and pair it, it connects to both for this one time, before going back to the previous behavior. If I turn bBluetooth off and on again, it will connect to both call and media audio again for this one time before returning to the previous behavior.
Since it's the intl version, there is no VoLTE option.
Is there a way (settings or using an app) to fix this and force the phone to connect media audio every time?
I have the exact same issue, except that I have an android wear watch.
My only solution so far is disabling call audio for the G5 in the Bluetooth definition, but that really sucks.
Have you found any solution?
This is a known issue with LG G5 and the sad thing is that LG doesn't have a clue. Unpairing and repairing is the only solution until Android 7 upgrade. I went as far as resetting to factory defaults, T-Mobile even replaced my device..same issue. **** SOLVED WITH ANDROID 7 ****
I still have the same issue with it showing as playing with no sound and it continues happening even after the Android 7 upgrade. Issue is intermittent, restarting phone or headset or disabling and reenabling BT are only solutions I've found so far. I confirmed the vol is on high on both device and receiver.
Happens on my Kia Soul, Sony SBH50 and SBH52. The only BT devices I don't seem to have the issue with is my old MW600s, so it may be related to BT version on the headsets. May be related to switching devices sometimes, but I've had it occur when using only one device, but having made a call, or left range with the headset away from my G5. Calls still have audio but Stereo/Media BT profile doesn't operate, even though both ends make it seem as if it does.
Thanks,

Hello everyone, I am coming from a Moto X Pure which was able to read out my text messages and allow me to respond while in my vehicle driving. Not sure if it was a Moto specific capability or if Google Assistant was performing that function, or a combination of both. I do know that under Moto Voice I did have the Talk to me option enabled which says it will read aloud texts and phone calls. Doesn't say anything about me responding to messages, but that's where I think it could have been a combination of Moto and Google getting the job done.
Does the S9+ support anything like this, and if not, are there any options such as Android Auto that would work similarly? My vehicle isn't Android Auto enabled, but I think the app can work on it's own. I should add that when I say read my messages to me and allow me to respond, it's when I am listening to the radio and not streaming music via bluetooth. My Moto would interrupt and say I had a message from "XXXXX" and ask if I wanted to hear it. It would then ask if I would like to respond.
Lastly, I have a 2017 Subaru Forester Premium if that matters. Thanks as always for any help as I am a S9+ noob currently.
On my phone, the Samsung "Car Mode" app does this.
You may wish to search the Galaxy Apps store, locate and install "Car Mode", and see if it works for you too.

I installed it and I'll see if it works. So this will interrupt your radio listening and read to you the incoming message? Does it automatically enable when you are driving or do you have to enable it manually each time? Thanks.
Don't know about the "interrupt your radio listening" part.
On my vehicle, unless you've selected the BlueTooth source on the car's audio system, you will not hear anything from the phone other than from the speaker of the phone itself.
Maybe your car is different.
In my car, when using the phone's BlueTooth as the audio-source, it will notify (if configured to do so) of incoming messages - and allow for voice-driven responses as well.
It does have the ability to automatically enable the phone's car-mode when the BlueTooth connection is (re)established.

I was using Android Auto the other day and it would interrupt and let me know that I had an incoming message from "xxxxxx", but it wouldn't actually read the message. I think my Moto X Pure had a capability built in to perform the action I am looking for. Not sure I am going to be able to get that with my new Samsung. I gonna try out the app you recommended today and see what happens. Hopefully I will find someway to make it work again.

It's a no go, car mode does absolutely nothing when connected to my cars bluetooth. Doesn't read out messages at all, not even when I change from radio listening to bluetooth streaming. This is extremely disappointing in a phone that costs this much and is running the latest Android OS. It seems Samsung just isn't useful for interfacing with car head units. My Motorola did this amazingly well. If someone has some insight on how to make this work, please fill me in. Why can't Android just work properly across all mobile platforms? It's kind of ridiculous and very annoying. Samsung makes a beautiful device but it seems less capable for hands free operation than all the Motorola phones I have had. Please help, this is a big deal for me.

Are there any specific settings that you have to enable? So when a message comes in it automatically reads it through your cars speakers and then allows you to respond with a message using voice only, no touching of the device whatsoever? For me it's odd, the Car Mode works when I'm not connected to my cars BT. It plays the message through my phones speakers and I can respond, but in my car it's useless. I can't hear it through my head unit.

If you can hear Car Mode working from your phone speaker, and not from your car's audio system, I would suggest troubleshooting the Bluetooth audio connection first.
Play some audio on your phone while connected to the car's Bluetooth connection. If you can't hear that, then Car Mode isn't going to be heard either.
Perhaps checking the phone's Bluetooth connection media-volume setting might be in order.

I should have mentioned streaming music works just fine and I've made sure the volumes were all up. It's weird but it doesn't seem to work with my car. I could hear the little ding prompt but when car mode was saying something I heard nothing. I downloaded Read Texts 2 Me and it works perfectly. Interrupts the radio when a text comes in and reads it to me. Also works perfectly while I'm listening to streaming music over Bluetooth. I think it's going to be my fix, android auto and Samsung car mode just aren't working for me. Maybe I'm missing something but it shouldn't be this difficult. It wasn't on my Moto.

The only other thing that comes to mind is checking the Bluetooth connection properties.
While connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth:
Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth
Tap the "cog" icon next to the connection for your vehicle.
Under the "Use For" section, are all of the options turned on?
As long as you've found what works for you, I guess you're good.
On my 5-year-old Ford, with Sync-2, Car Mode works without issue.
EDIT: I just had this issue with a Jaybird X3 wireless earbuds. So it's not the BMW's issue. Any new ideas?
Hi! Wonder if anyone's encountered this issue and have any idea how to fix it.
Whenever I make or receive a phone call while in the car, the audio will ALWAYS come out of the phone's speaker instead of through the car's bluetooth. I can see the "in-call" screen on the phone and it says that output is BT. I have to push the BT icon to turn that off and on again and the audio will now go to the car. Every single time.
Tried un-pairing and pairing again, tried rebooting the phone. Nothing. Only does this with the car (BMW 3-series, 2017), all my other BT headsets and my wife's car work perfectly fine.
Any ideas?
P.S. I'm very aware that this may be BMW's fault, since they're dicks and suck at software development. Still, if anyone has an idea, it'd be very welcome!!
Hmm, I do not have this issue on my F32 and S9+ Snapdragon. Have you tried factory resetting the phone and iDrive to clear out any other pairings or non-default settings? It is a pain to set everything up again but will be the quickest way to determine if this is an issue with the iDrive. Next would be trying an iDrive update.
How do you reset iDrive? because I'm noticing that it's not syncing all the contacts on the phone... prefer this to doing a factory reset on the phone (paaaainful!)
Bumping because new information added
Haven't gotten any calls while using my Jaybird, but in my Corvette call audio comes through the car speakers, not the phone. Same in my wife's Honda.
Something to look at: When I'm connected to the car BT, there's a notification from Samsung's Smartthings app that I can tap and choose whether audio goes to the car, or to the phone. Might be worth checking that.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to remember your selection from one session to the next.
Hola
I use a X3 daily for both work and my workouts. When I drive to work or so I connect to my Toyota Highlander ('17) and thus far absolutely no issues with phone calls. Mind you I make A LOT of calls all the time so I would be peeved no hell if I had such issues. Like mentioned above, resetting your phone might be required. Please keep us informed if resetting does help. Thanks.
No issue with my BMW and I have jaybird as well but only uses it for songs
Well, crap. Will have to reset phone and report back.
Thanks everyone!
UPDATE: Factory reset worked!!!
My guess is that when I moved from the S7 to the S9+, I used the "Smart Switch" app. Something must have transferred over that the new phone didn't like. Took me 2+ hours and it is a pain in the ass, but now I can use my car's BT and the X3 earphones to make calls!
