So as i undderstand there is a speaker in the moto 360 2, and today i recieved an android wear update that listed speaker usage for calls and sounds as one of the changes, anyone figure out how to enable this on the watch?
AFAIK, the Moto 360 2015 does NOT have speakers...

How exactly did you find out that there is a speaker, since there isn't any?

that is what the spec say, i haven't found any tear down (and i'm not willing to sacrifice my own) but i'm still curious what the slot below the microphone does?
Android Wear is completely independent from the Moto 360 2nd gen. It's just the app that allows ANY Android Wear device (Moto 360, LG Urbane, Huawei Watch, etc) to share information between the phone and device. That spec in the update was only referring to some sort of fix or tweak for those Android Wear devices who DO have speakers.
The Moto 360 2nd gen (and 1st gen) does not have built-in speakers, so this change in the update does not apply to our watches. Simply put, without a speaker, no update in the world could magically make your watch produce sound. Lol

Since the band now connect to lugs instead of the phone body, that slot beneath the microphone is there to assist in opening the device. It is not a speaker outlet.
Besides, it would really be awkward to talk to a watch in public XD
I don't even use my phone on handsfree when in public.
I saw my brother do it a few times with his Apple Watch (phone conversation that is). It wasn't exactly clear and easy, but it wasn't terrible either.
If my watch had a speaker I'd probably use it in a pinch if I couldn't get my phone out right away or I was a maybe in a different room in my house. But then I'd probably only do it long enough to answer the call and tell the caller to hold on while I went to the other room to get my phone.
At work I usually have my BT headset on so I wouldn't use it then... well, except for days like today when I forgot to grab it, dangnabbit!

Hi!
This might sounds silly but do you guys know if anyone is working on something like this for android?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nod69aTzsM
An app that makes your phone to a small guitar amp?
The iphone version has been out for a while but i cant find any info on a version for android..
The company behind iRig have been speaking about a android version but i dont think they even have started working on one yet.
It would be a really nice application! To allways be ready to record without setting up the computor and stuff like that ya know, or to just sit in the sofa with earplugs and play some sweet solos and riffs without having your gf whine about the loud music..
Found this dude trying to make something close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz-9mxWa2VA
Just checking if anyone knows anything?
Best regards and thx for all the awsomeness!
/Patrik
This would be awesome, I would definitely buy it. It's like a Line 6 pod but much cheaper.
I hope they're working on an android version. Android needs better quality apps.
Also, it's more of a multi-effect pedal than an amp. Just letting you know
I actually sent then a message on youtube to see if they were working on one. This is what I got.
This is the Mac/PC version. If you look at our AmpliTube iRig playlist you'll find the iPhone version. We're currently looking at the platform but do not have any versions for Android.

Yeah, multi-effect pedal.
Imageing all the fine stuff you could do with it!
You could use it as an effect to plug in to your amp. (maby quite alot of effects, if you can make your own sounds. And with new developing you never have to buy a new effect-pedal again.. ).
A strummer for electric guitar in the studio/rehearsal place.
Play with earplugs on the sofa.
and so on...
I'll buy!!
it needs dedicated hardware don't forget (about 10 seconds in on the video)
your phone only has one 3.5mm jack plug...and you need to plug a guitar into it and an amp into it too.
also, what happens if you've got your amp turned up to 11 and then you get a phone call?

I've bookmarked that link
I am amazed that this can be done on the iPhone but not on Android.
There is another program called Ghettoamp on the market, though the devloper admits that there is still latency (he records, then processes the sound input). 20ms I think.

Why can't it be done for android? This app is really cool.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It should be possible...
Android phones definitely have the processing power to do this. The only real problem is you're input and outputs on your phone, there's really only one... the 3.5 mm jack...
But there's maybe a way around this. And I'm not an engineer or developer or genius of any kind I'm just saying what I think should be at least possible... Everyone knows AD2P Bluetooth right? You could get you're input through it.
You use the microphone of a bluetooth headset, but instead of the microphone, you get your input from you're amp/guitar/whatever... could it be as simple as soldering a headphone jack to the PCB connections on a bluetooth headset? Dunno but let's asume it's possible.
Then you connect your phone to the headset, and you've got input... Great.
The problem now is that I don't know what android does when it has a bluetooth headset AND a normal set of earphones... Does it play from both, does it by default choose, I don't know... Say you still get output from the headphones, you could easily get the output to any speakers, seems rather pointless to use the phone's loudspeaker... This part from bluetooth input to audio jack output will maybe need a modified audio driver or something...
Once you've got input into the phone and output out of the phone, you would like to have some effects and/or amplification right? That's the point isn't it? I know nothing about programming such things but maybe a few developers who do will stumble onto this thread and share their expertise...
Once again it should be possible, but for just anyone to do this it'll be very challenging, more likely and hopefully companies like Gibson or Marshall or Ibanez (their Japanese, and this seems like a Japanese thing to do) for instance will see the need for something like this, and get working on it... If they make something like that and it works well, it'll make a LOT of money... For instance after you've bought this device, they could SELL effects, to be downloaded on a sort of 'plugin-basis'. And once one company does it, all will have some variant of the concept. I know I'd buy this...
Edit: Read about the apparent latency issue that Android has... So I don't know if it's that possible just yet, maybe ICS has bettered this flaw in previous Android versions, one can only hope...
Sorry for refreshing this thread, but I'm curious if there is such app for android available right now?

You are thinking much too complicated.
The headphone jack of phones contains another pin for the microphone. A small jumper cable can be used that allows the connection of a guitar and headphones. Check out Amplitube iRig for an example.
(this type of jack is used so you can plug in a headset with microphone)
Bluetooth or something would be nice... but the latency wouldn't be, and that is exactly the problem.. Android has too much latency,
Look:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
Android is not capable of this because the way it handles audio is completely wrong. More recent devices have less latency but still too much. The problem lies very deep. It is a problem for game developers too. Please star this issue if you want Google to do something about it!

How about USB OTG connected to a Rocksmith USB connection?...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
The Irig will work fine for this you dont need bluetooth aor usb adding yet another layer of BS to the audio streams round trip. however now that JB is out latancy is stitting around 10-12ms on adevice such as the galaxy nexus wich is completely usable (1ms of latancy = 1foot from your amp) so 12ms would be like playing 12 feet from your amp,
If you cant play like this then on stage will never work for you.
As a side note usb audio is apparently supported in JB as well now
There are now a couple of apps on Android that at least have a range of guitar effects. Delay Effects Plus (via headphone type cable) and usbEffects (USB OTG) both have an option to use Native Audio, so if you have the Galaxy Nexus running JB the latency is quite reasonable (50-70 mSec). If you have a modded ROM you may get lower latency without Native Audio option as they both read the buffer size from the OS. Of course for everyone else the latency is still an issue and varies from device to device. So to those that said they would buy .... please do!
This very issue has put me on the fence on what kind of tablet I buy. Cannot decide between note, and Ipad 3. The accessories and ItunesU has been one of the biggest attractions for me.
Litlle heads up: in their latest newsletter IK Multimedia (of Amplitube) post a few job openings, one of them being "Android App Developer"!

I'm not aware of any headset with three button controls that work on Android phones. All single button headsets I've owned and tried have worked fine though.
Here's a link to a site I sometimes use to buy headphones from, with a direct link to headsets with mics and button controls. Unfortunately, many of them are made specifically to only work with Apple products, but like I mentioned, all single button headsets should work properly.

Even though their products tend to be overpriced, I currently use and recommend the Bose MIE2s. I also own the Klipsch S4s and enjoy their sound. There is a mobile version that's made specifically for Android phones as well.

Normally for music I use AudioTechica, which does not have a mic and control..
But if you want one, try the new Phillips O'neil branded "Specked"..
there are 2 versions though, one with Mic and one without....
With Mic version cost around 30 euros over here, but in US maybe it is cheaper....
It also provides an Adaptor which you could use for Nokia/Samsung mobiles...so it is a complete package....

my blackberry headphones used to work well on BB and on HTC Desire S.
by working well, I mean 1 press answer/end the call, long press redials the last number
when in music player, a press on the same button is pause/play.
on RAZR so far only long press works for redial of last number. short press activate voice commands, and play/pause simply does not work. Any idea how to revert to "normal"?

Well the working of the controls is strictly dependent on the interface chip used.... in that case, one particular control might not be completely useful into another phone..
Hence the new days headphones have minimalistic controls only.... and they do mention which phones it can be used with.....
the headphones with larger repertoire of controls are mainly bluetooth , since bluetooth is an open standard...

Get the new range by Phillips/O'Neil... they have one button for all and also a volume control key which is useful.....
First off, apologies if this is not in the correct forum, I'm not sure if this is device specific or not...
I have 2 phones. An AT&T Galaxy S5 and a Samsung ATIV S Neo running Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview. The one feature I absolutely love about the Neo is the ability to read and respond to SMS over bluetooth in the 3 vehicles I own... they are:
2014 Chevrolet Impala LT with MyLink (no Nav)
2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS (with Mylink and Nav)
2012 Chevrolet Traverse (no MyLink or Nav)
On what I am guessing is the MAP part of Bluetooth, my Windows Phone works with each vehicle flawlessly to receive and respond to SMS. I can't say the same for my S5 (which by the way, is rooted, running SafeStrap, and running Alliance ROM so that I can have Car Mode, which AT&T saw fit to remove out of their version). I can only get the S5 to work correctly with the Traverse, which also happens to be the oldest vehicle. I have yet to find a 3rd party app that might be able to get around this.
It is beyond frustrating that a 2014 device such as the S5 does not work with vehicles that are relatively new in this regard. Is this true of all 2014 devices? I wish there was an easy way to find out. Most car manufacturers and even aftermarket ones don't even list any 2014 devices as being compatible with them... I know it might sound like nitpicking, but a phone (the Neo) that was released almost a full year ago works fine across all my vehicles... am I missing something here?
And yes, the new thing with Android and vehicle integration is all well and good, but probably won't be able to see that in action for what.. another year at least?
UPDATE: I have since moved on from the S5 and have tried an HTC One M8, and a LG G3, both with similar issues. I have found an app called Robin that kind of worked on the G3, and another called SMS, My Car and Me (SMS+Car) that sort of works on the M8. The M8's own car mode works best but far from perfect. Voice recognition is not good, and has an issue quite similar to responding to sms and emails on Android Wear devices. It gives you absolutely no time to pause before sending, but in the case of the M8, the window to respond is way too short.
Thoughts? Opinions? Advice?
So no one has a clue.. Am I asking this on the right forum? Am I phrasing the question wrong or something? Why can't anyone answer or offer any insight on this? A little help here please?

I cannot answer your question, but I'm not sure why you would want to use the XZU for this purpose as it doesn't have the loudest of external speakers.

Hey man, someone sent me this thread because I'm thinking of doing something similar. In my FJ Cruiser I had a Nexus 7 installed which routed to a Single DIN radio behind it (which was hidden so you could only see the N7). I realize you were wondering about BT audio. I suggest going the route of ZU to Single DIN which has hands free calling capabilities. You can BT to the Single DIN and then you don't have to worry about speaking loud into the ZU because the radios come with an external mic. You can use the Tablet Talk app which gives you dialer interface on the ZU and ability to answer calls and read/send texts.
Reason why I'm thinking about going ZU in the dash is because I just bought a '99 Cherokee XJ that uses the stupid 1.5 DIN size. People fit DDINs but it involves cutting into the duct system which I don't want to do. The ZU seems like a good alternative, with just a little sacrifice in size. Only thing that's holding me back right now is the power. On the N7 I used the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command so the tablet powered up when it received ignition power. I would then have Tasker shut the tablet down after 30 seconds without power. I didn't use Timur's kernel, that method worked perfect for me.
Did you end up installing the ZU? Could you test the "fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0" command for me to see if it works. Other option would be externalizing the power button but I'm no good with pulling apart electronics and soldering stuff.

I'm am getting rid of my Zu. Without being able to get HSP or HFP working it was a useless purchase as the Zu is nothing more than a secondary larger display for my standalone smartwatch. So I'm right back to where I was four years ago, multiple devices to accomplish the task that one could if only HSP or HFP was supported.

This is not the only thing, have you ever wondered why the hell it doesn't has QI charging? To make us to use their "Fast charging USB C solution..
The Nexus 6 has also had something similar with it's notification LED, which can be activated only If rooted..
Now I really don't know what to do, I'm thinking of downgrading to Marshmallow before my phone got into bootloop, and not having another paper weight on my desk.
The only thing i can assure is that my next phone will be an Galaxy S8, and not another Google Crap phone.

My device won't work with my Samsung TV JS7200 or Windows 10 Miracast receiver.

I am on stock 7.0.1 (latest). I didn't change anything in build.prop. I just go to Settings -> Display -> Cast
I've read online that it works with older Miracast (first, second gen) TVs. For e.g. it works with Roku 3 but not 4.

This is not the only thing, have you ever wondered why the hell it doesn't has QI charging? To make us to use their "Fast charging USB C solution..

Given that the 6P has a metal build and that no other metal phones(from the top of my head) have Qi charging, I would assume it was due to the the metal build. And in regards to saying that they are just trying to sell "Fast Charging USB C solution", wouldn't you think that they would generate more revenue from implementing a convenient way to charge a phone?
Based on your opinion and what you had said, it sounds like the S8 is the perfect device for you. It's so great to have a plethora of device choices!

Well, my dead Nexus 5X has a plastic body and Google removed QI Charger from it too, something I found really useful, which I was using since Nexus 4 and had to stop on the new ones..

Oh, didn't know that.
But I totally understand you.
Google played a "good guy" comparing to Apple for a few years now, and I really saw this coming. Basically they're just the same. Profit, profit, profit.
You want to cast? Buy a Chromecast.
I really wouldn't be surprised if their Project Fi gains success, and they decide to lock their future devices to their own network.
Nokia years ago was really something else, but it was in the way of the American capitalism so they had to remove it from their perfect market picture.
