Hello all,
I have a LG S Watch R and a Note 4 in use. But after updating my Note to Lollipop it is not possible to make phone calls via 'ok google' call command (on the watch) any longer. The watch displays the call circle but ends up with 'try it on your phone' or so. Same thing with the wear app 'mini dialer'. It works like a charm on Kitkat but refuses to make phone calls on Lollipop. On the phone the voice command still works like expected. I've also tested this function on a Nexus 5 (Lollipop) together with the same watch and it worked. So the watch can't causing this. Other wear apps and functions are working as before.
Does anybody has encountered the same problem?
Greetings
Resurrecting this one. Finally noticed the same thing was happening to me. Did you ever find a solution?

Been searching for last several hours and not resolution. Got the Gear and one of the apps is a voice memo which then transfers to the phone (Verizon GN3) for future playback. Problem is that when trying to playback on the phone of that file, there is no sound whatsoever. Checked all volume settings on phone and no reason for the silence. Just to make sure I "shared" them back to myself and played just fine on the PC.
Anyone know why this would not work? It's nice to have memo feature on the watch. While not the only thing it can do, it was one I was looking forward to use. Any ideas from anyone?
So, as the title says, can you "mute" (silence the ringing tone, on the smartphone, of) an incoming call *without rejecting it*?
To be even more clear: the same action on my current smartphone (Note 3) is performed by pressing the volume rocker (up or down) and that results in the phone still "ringing" (as far as the caller is concerned) but no sound coming from the smartphone.
I am interested in getting my first Android Wear device (an LG G Watch R) and this, together with full notification mirroring and Google Keep integration, would be one of the reasons to get it, for me.
Another very big one would be being able to read a TXT/DOC/RTF/PDF file but AFAIK that's not (yet) possible...
TIA!
Come on... no one?!?
Does this capability really interest so few people??

Hi,
what happens if you cover the watchface with your palm (same gesture that puts the watch in standby) while receiving a call notification..?
May you try it?
I heard from someone who has an Asus ZenWatch that it does what we are after but he also said that he thinks that is exclusive to the ZenWatch (an Asus mod, in other words).

Mutes the call on my phone by covering the face of the watch with my hand, I have a Zenwatch. Does not hang it up.

So you are confirming what that guy said... now it remains to be seen if the fact that it is exclusive to the ZenWatch is also true
Good thing that somebody is doing it, anyway, 'cause it makes a lot of sense and it will most probably be adopted by Android Wear natively (just like Google has adopted in "mainstream" Android a lot of Samsung's good ideas...) :good:
So... may somebody with any smartwatch other than the ZenWatch, try this??
Well...Doesn't mute my phone.. On the moto 360

It'a part of the software on the Zenwatch
Thanks everybody.. so it's confirmed.... oh well, I hope Google (or more OEMs) fix this glaring omission soon!
Tried on my lg g r, mutes the watch but not the phone, but at least the watch stops disturbing me, I was about to go mad for a while when people kept calling during a meeting, since muting the phone don't stop the watch from vibrating

Hi, i have been trying also to find a solution for mute the call on both ( phone and watch moto 360) the only thing i can do is when receiving a call if i cover the watch it stops vibrating but the phone still rings, the same if you press the side button, stops the watch but not the phone. Hope they add this feature i miss it a lot.
Regards
Just to confirm additionally... Gear Live does NOT work to cover watch to mute phone (Galaxy S5, stock lollipop).
Out of curiosity, why do you not want to dismiss the call?

Are you really asking it..?!? Because that way the caller KNOWS that you saw he/she was calling and you didn't want to talk with him/HER... :laugh:
Oh, okay... that makes sense I guess. I never thought of it that way. I guess I don't generally get that many calls that I can ignore.
Either that means I'm very important and and only talk about important stuff, or I'm very unpopular and no one calls me to chit chat.
I'm thinking of switching from Pebble to Android Wear. I'm curious, do notifications from your phone come through consistently and quickly? On Pebble (at least with Android) about 25% of the time a notification takes 2-5 seconds to show up on the watch, or never shows up at all. I'll feel my phone buzz and sit there staring at my watch, waiting. It gets really annoying! Happened with both my S3 and Nexus 5.
Has anyone experienced similar with Android Wear watches? Or particular models? Thanks!

no missed notifications at all .
Awesome. I think I'll be ordering Black Friday or cyber Monday. Now, to decide which one.
No missed notifications at all. Working great!
After 2 weeks with my LG G Watch R, I'm afraid that after 18 months with my Pebble I've grown accustomed to doing things in a certain way and that's not the right way for Android Wear.
Could anybody enlighten me?
My watch almost never vibrates. Mails, Whatsapp messages... it doesn't matter, most notifications show as cards (which I notice after a too long time) but I don't get vibrations.
My phone is a Sony Xperia Z3 with 4.4.4 (5.0.1 on the watch). When I used my Pebble it was always muted and most apps had notifications off. Now Whatsapp and Gmail have notifications on, since I read somewhere that Android Wear devices would only vibrate if the app was supposed to make some noise. However, I still don't get vibrations.
Thanks in advance

As far as i got with this (still no Facebook notifications here) this has to do with the sound options, very logical (not) on your phone..
If you have notifications set to just vibrate with no sound on your phone there will be no vibration on your wrist, someone needs to visit that google programmer with a clue bat i think :-/
If you want your watch to be the one to get the notifications and no sound on your phone, set up all apps on your phone to use sounds, and set in Android wear app, silence the phone. This will quit your phone from responding with sounds (an i think also vibrations) while your watch should do the heavy lifting.
Why they did it this way, Google only knows, we desperately need a alternative Android wear build with a much better control of vibrations and how each type of notifications should act!

That's not true. I have set my Google+ notifications to no sound but enabled vibrations. The system wide notification strength on my note 3 is set to 0. In this way only my lg g watch r is vibrating on incoming notifications....

Well. No notifications at all after updating my phone to lollipop 5.1. In Android Wear, the option to turn on notification is greyed out. Upon application startup, I get a message saying: "Android Wear needs you to turn on notifications" but I cannot turn them on. A full hard reset of both, watch and phone, did not help. Downgrade of Android Wear APP to different old versions did not help. My watch is useless now and my Ascend Mate 7 MT10 with Lollipop 5.1 is not downgradable to kitkat any more without unlocking the boot loader which I do not want to do. So, If I would have a Pebble, I think I would stick to it until Lollipop issues are resolved at least you want to keep you devices on KitKat and renounce to update to lollipop.
These are my two cents from a frustrating experience.
just install informer
All problem SoLved
just install "informer for android wear - notification"
Hi guys
I've had the Note 4 for a while but only had an issue I think after the marshmallow update. The microphone doesn't seem to pick up any sound: tried to record a voice memo and it's blank. WhatsApp calls, the other person can't hear anything, Snapchat doesn't record any sound. Weird thing is that when I call someone with the normal dialler it picks up sound fine. A restart fixes the mic issues and works well, but after charging the phone the mic stops working again. Any solutions?
Unlocked, Not rooted, Knox tripped though, & running android 6.0.1
I have the exact same issue when I moved to the German 6.0.1 N910FXXS1DPE6 ...
Restarting fixes it but is a pain in the ass

I have the same problem. How did you handle it
First noticed this in Android Auto car mode app.
Occasionally it just wont respond to "OK google"
I can start my journey, make a call using "OK google"
This can work fine, but sometime it will just stop listening.
It seems to happen after a call was made. Its as if the Call app has not released the mic.
This doesn't always happen and seems inconstant. It can happen from any screen not just Android Auto.
My wife's S8+ behaves in the same way
Once it is ignoring the "OK google" command. you need to go into the google app and it will start working again
However it has on one occasion stopped working in the app. A reboot fixed that.
Anyone else having this trouble or have a theory or a solution for this?
I have been encountering the same issue as well.
