Answering calls by a voice command? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Would it be possible to answer a phone call by a voice command on my Huawei Watch? I am on skiing holidays now and it is sort of complicated to first take of the gloves and than swipe the screen. Or maybe there exists a gesture that could answer a call?
Thanks!

Ignored calls as missed calls

Hey guys,
Why do rejected calls show up as missed call? :roll:
Is there a way to stop this? every time i tap ignore or reject a call the phone says i have a missed call when in fact i did not miss it... :?
Thx
Jamps
Yeah, that's an unfortunate "feature." Been that way all along, and I've never found a way to correct it. I also don't view a rejected call as missed, though I suppose there are others who would not view it as received either.
ah damn...this really sux!!
Anyway, thx for ur help carlos...
Ciao

Close caller's call history after hang up

Hi,
How could I configure my touch HD so that it will not open caller (if already in contacts) call history after the call is hang up? Currently, I got to close it manually.
Please advice. Thank you
Yes, same for me. This trick did not work for me, unfortunately.
Would be great to have any suggestions

voice protection

Hi
I want to ask if there is a program to protect you and alert when the other interlocutor record your voice?
Thank you.

Bluetooth voice dialing

Is everybody else's bluetooth voice dialing just god awful?
S voice is crap, so it's frozen. Google's Bluetooth dialer is just the worst thing I've ever seen. Has anybody found out how to get Bluetooth dialing working properly?
Why in the world can't they just make Bluetooth launch voice search?

Old thread, but I'll revive it because I want to talk about the same subject. I agree with the OP, and I'm surprised how badly Android/Samsung handles blutetooth voice dialing. (My last phone was an iPhone 3GS, and voice dialing worked great from day 1 back with iOS 3 or 4, whatever it originally came with.)
I frequently use bluetooth voice dialing in my car, either from a headset or speaker phone. This is a must-have feature for me.
Svoice is completely unacceptable because it requires the phone to be unlocked. If you have to mess with the phone to unlock it, then that defeats the purpose of voice dialing. I do understand that Svoice can do other things besides voice dialing, things which should be restricted by the lock screen. What I don't understand is why they don't give the users the options to enable selected features such as voice dialing while the phone is locked. But they don't, so Svoice had to go.
With Svoice uninstalled or disabled, Google Search takes over the voice dialing duties. It works ok, or at least it used to with Google Search v2.x. One thing about it that I don't like is that it wakes the phone (activates the screen) when you initiate voice dialing, so you can end up with accidental screen touches while voice dialing (if you don't have a pass code, or if it hasn't timed out yet). The screen should remain locked.
In recent versions of Google Search (starting in v3.x?), they decided to make voice dialing worse! If a person has multiple numbers, you can not directly select one, you have to wade through a stupid menu every time.
Say for example I have a contact named Tim Brown who has 3 numbers: home, work, mobile
With Google Search 2.x, you can do this:
Me: Call Jim Brown Home (or I can even just say "Call Jim Home" if I only have one Jim in my contacts)
Phone: Do you want to call Jim Brown at home? Say OK or Cancel.
Me: Ok
Phone: dials
With Google Search 3.x it ignores the location and always presents a menu:
Me: Call Jim Brown Home (the word "Home" is ignored)
Phone: Say Select 1 for Jim Brown Home, Say Select 2 for Jim Brown Work, Say Select 3 for Jim Brown Mobile, or say Cancel
Me: (If I can remember which freaking number was Home) Select 1
Phone: Do you want to call Jim Brown at home? Say OK or cancel
Me: (Yes I do, you stupid phone, I just told you so!) OK
Phone: dials
What a pain in the butt that is. Ironically, if you open Google Search by launching the app (i.e. by interacting with the screen), then it will listen to the "Home" part. It just ignores it if you are voice dialing, which is where you really need it. Does anybody from Google actually use this stuff?
My solution is this. Since my phone is rooted, I have the option of uninstalling Google Search v3.x, find v2.8 on the Internet, and install it on my phone. Then be sure to ignore any updates in the Play store. This works good enough. I can select a specific number when voice dialing, and I can voice dial while the phone is locked. It still turns on the phone screen when I voice dial, but I can live with that.
Note that I don't use Google Now, so I don't care about any new features that are included in the newer versions of Google Search. If you do use Google Now, this solution may not be acceptable to you.
If anyone else has a better solution, please share it.
Thanks
I tried using the Bluetooth Launch app to activate google voice search instead of the voice dialer, but that didn't work while the screen was locked. So for now, I'm sticking with the solution mentioned above (i.e. using google search v2.8).

[Q] S voice starting on its own

Anyone having this issue where s voice is randomly turning itself on when you are having a conversation with someone? It doesn't matter if it's in my pocket or not, it just happens. Even more annoying is you can't change the activation command to something less nerdy and obvious. Do you guys turn off the activate when screen is on option?

another issue i have is if i tell s voice to "call marcos pizza" it only looks in my contacts. If I use google voice search, it looks it up and calls. Lame!
So, is that just how it is, s voice not as powerful? I'd really like to use the screen off wake up feature that s voice provides, but not if it sucks like this.

I guess another solution is to keep the "hi galaxy" screen off wake up for when I need it and just use the double tap for regular google voice for most functions
Hi galaxy
open google search
lol
