Not really relevant to the Mako specifically, but anyone know if voice-only calls on Google Hangouts default to the "ear speaker" when connected? On GTalk they would always default to speakerphone and I'd have to manually set it to "use handset earpiece." On Gingerbread phones there isn't even an option to set it to "use handset earpiece." I don't need the whole world to hear the other side of my convo if I'm placing a voice-only call.
BBM is smart enough to default to the "ear speaker" if you choose not to enable video in a call. I hope Google learned from that...

i dont know does it i turned off the announce incomming calls
I don't think incoming text messages would be considered incoming calls.
Perhaps there's a 3rd party Bluetooth extension that can do this (like Jetware or BlueCast). I haven't used either one, but perhaps they'll point you where you want to go...

Hey, as we all know, WM doesn't have a real and stable built-in voicemail program, due to hardware restrictions. I know you can't record the incoming sound (unless its on speaker), but I'm looking for a program that will do the following:
1. If I don't do anything when a call is received, I want the program to do nothing, meaning the call would go to the regular voicemail.
2. When I get a incoming call, I want to have 2 options: Answer or Filter. If I press filter, the program would answer the phone call, and automatically play a message (same as voicemail). Now I can't record the incoming voice, but I can listen to the caller and decide if I want to answer or not. This would give me the big advantage of a built-in voicemail and bypass the hardware restrictions.
So, to sum up, if I can't answer a call and can't listen to it at the moment, I won't lose anything, but if I want to filter my incoming calls, its a great way to do that.
What do u think, is there a program like that already? Is it possible to create one?
When on the normal sound profile, you can set an audio notification for when you receive a voicemail.
When on vibrate, I can't seem to find any way to set it to give a vibrating notification in the same way. Is this not possible? [In other words, someone calls and the phone vibrates, you decline the call...they leave a message...I want it to vibrate again to indicate they left a message.]
My workaround for this issue was to start using google voice for my voicemail. The google voice visual voicemail app has a vibrate option for notifications of new voicemails.
Is there any way to make the phone automatically answer an incoming call, place the caller on hold while playing music to the caller while appearning to ring normally as set by the audio profiles until it is answered or until a set number of rings has been reached? Sort of like ring back tones, except everything would be controlled by the phone. Then if no one answers perhaps it could double as visual voicemail and take your messages right on the phone? Is this technically feasible? Is there anything out there already that performs this function?
I like your idea, but I don't know any API to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's impossible.
Is there a way to send SMS messages, receive incoming Google Voice call notifications or make Google Voice calls yet? Seems like this is something that Google would want to support for users like me who use a data only plan with Google Voice with Hangouts as their primary phone service like myself.

The only way I know is to get SMS messages on the watch (and call notifications) from Google Voice. Answering the call on your watch, routes it to your phone, not your watch.
Here is how you do it.
Sideload "Hangouts for Wear OS" from apkmirror[dot]com (can't post links yet)
Open Hangouts on your computers web browser.
Enable voice in the settings.
Enable the contacts permission on your watch, under the system settings.
Open Hangouts.
Restart Phone.
Install Hangouts on your phone.
