Can anyone send text messages via voice?
I'm using messages and not paying verizon, so via bluetooth.
Try this... (on the watch)
Pull up the google assistant
"send a text message to (person), '_________' "
I'm given two options
X Cancel
> Send
via watch
Error screen with a cloud
Sorry, something went wrong
I cannot get it to send.
What I think is happening is that the watch is trying to send the message via Verizon and their Verizon's Message+ app that I have disabled.
How do I set the default to google's Messages app that I use on both the watch and phone?
Anyone able to get this working?
Any ideas?
FYI yes, I can send a message normally via the watch and the app and yes I can reply to texts when they come in.
This is just an issue when I try to initiate a text via the assistant
OK - got it working for anyone who wants to know
Go to apps and find (simply hit the button)
"SIM Info"
open it
Hit the 3 dots at the bottom
3 dots again for "Advanced"
3 dots a third time for "Stop Using Carrier Profile"
Hit the check mark
You should now be good and ready to send via phone

I legit don't see that with my watch, can someone post picture or 2, upgraded to Wear 2.7.0 and android 7.1.1 on watch.
Where are you lost?
Same versions.
"that" is difficult to work with.
Maybe you could post pictures of what you see

Things listed is not possible with my wear 2.0 update either. When you click on sim info with newest update, the app gives an error for no connected to verizon(something like this)
Was possible with 1.5 or whatever it ships with.
Again, I am on the SAME version as you.
It works for me.
Have you disabled any apps?
Or, changed any settings that may be causing this error.
Also, try to get the error message in it's entirety.
Maybe a photo?
........
Maybe try turning on or off cellular service.
Maybe try restarting.
Try a few things. It should work, because it works for me.
But, sadly because it works for me and I am on the same version, I'm not the person to help you.
Maybe someone else can chime in.
Good luck
This works for me as well. Please post a screen shot of where you are stuck since the instructions posted earlier worked fine for me.

Here's what I see.
You may have to do a reset?
Fyi I already have it disabled. (Start vs stop)
No 3 dots here either, bummer...
Had to do a factory reset, i disabled cellular and all verizon stuff. Must be misunderstanding what you typed, I found it after clicking on side button once and scrolling down for sim info, I was going under settings/apps/system apps which is wrong lol.
thx mate.

So this indeed does work - BUT - what if I WANT LTE data on the watch and to be able to send an SMS vis Google Assistant? Any ideas on that? I seems like Assistant is trying to send via the default messaging app and it does not have 'permission' to send via LTE. So either the messaging app would have to be Messages+ or the permission granted. The solution is above my knowledge of Android.

I agree with you. Disabling LTE altogether is NOT a solution but rather figuring out how to reassign the default messaging app may be the answer.
Unable to send text via assistant after following steps
Hi,
Thank you all for this thread! I just got this watch and followed all the steps mentioned. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to send texts via the assistant as it tries and the gives up saying " could not connect to phone". The same can be seen in the notification panel where it shows that it's disconnected from the phone. I've tried everything including a factory reset, deleting carrier and disabling all version apps. Here are some screenshots of my sim-info on my watch. Kindly let me know anything else that you feel that I should try. Thanks!

you should try and install the stock google message app in your phone, it worked for me and try to keep your watch in wifi it can also help
I did it it changed the messaging ("through Phone" from "through watch") but neither sends a message ( i am using the google messaging app) " says couldn't connect to your phone" nor calls (still says "through watch") Any thoughts?

We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not...

i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.
Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".

Hi my brother is currently using Note 3 and so do I. I texted him and he didn't reply me back. When I saw his phone, I saw the sms notification but the moment I clicked it, it showed "The process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". And I told him something was wrong with his phone.
But he said it was a trick, he clicked some commands and showed me that the message app worked fine and showed every texts he had received and sent. When I clicked the message icon, the error message was shown again. But he wouldn't tell me how he did it. His current firmware is 4.3-N900XXUCMK2.

[QRCODE]I've had my phone for a while but sometime this month whenever I get a call I get an additional blue pop up saying unknown number and after the call ends a blue screen comes on. The name says Free caller ID. I checked the Privacy policy and the email underneath is [email protected]. When I googled it, it gave me DU caller but I have never installed a Caller id and I can't find DU caller or Free caller ID anywhere on my phone but this is keeps coming up whenever I get a call.
Is there any way to get rid of this? Please help

I just checked and I see a "Caller ID and spam protection" but it is off
I am having this exact same problem and I found the exact same detail when I did my Google searching.
This only recently started and I have no idea how or why. And if I search for this app or for a setting nothing comes up. When the window pops up you can turn off the settings and I've done it about 10 times and it always turns them back on.
This is annoying the hell out of me but I want it turned off but I simply cannot find any way to access it other than when it pops up

Does your carrier offer any kind of spam protection? I am with T-Mobile and they do have Caller ID service with Spam block. Another carrier Verizon, also offers something similar.

On unlocked devices there is a setting, but someone already reported that it is not turned on, still it would be good idea give a carrier a call and find out. I have used T-Mobile app to access my account and there was a section on my plan where I could select paid service or use the free one(they are different) and it mentioned caller id and spam block. It is possibly that it was enabled not on your phone, but on your carriers side and it could very well be a free service. I think Play Store has an app called "Hiya - Caller ID & Block" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.webascender.callerid That is what unlocked S8 is using when users enabled it in phone app.

I am not on an unlocked device so it is definitely not that. And it's also somewhat new is not always happened. And yes it is a free service because within the app popup when you check the settings it eludes to this.
I have done pretty extensive searches on my phone within settings & certain logical apps and there is no way to get access to whatever this is if it is an app or a setting. The only access to any settings related to this app or when it pops up but like I said you can shut the whole app off and it just turns itself back on and undoes your settings. Whatever this is you can't get to it directly.

I understand, but what I was trying to say for example on unlocked devices there is a toggle for that kind of service which lets user know about spam and caller ID, but on carrier devices this feature is removed because carriers have their own service that they like to charge user for. My device for example doesn't show anything like I saw in the screenshots. You can open settings and type "notification access" in the search and it will show you the list of apps that have access. See if you can find it there and take appropriate action.

Hey, someone from another thread found a solution. I cleared my Chrome history, cookies, and all synced data and I haven't had the issue anymore. I didn't format my phone tho

Hi am having the exact same problem and haven't found a solution yet. Its driving me crazy!
I am using a Samsung S8 and this app/feature literally appeared out of no where.
Any help or leads would greatly be appreciated!
I've been having the same exact issues that started a few weeks ago. I'm using a Samsung galaxy s6 edge from T-Mobile. I'm going to go into the store tomorrow to see if they can offer any solutions. This app is incredibly annoying! Especially since it wasn't authorized to start sending notifications!
I've messaged the email address they gave on the privacy policy asking how to discontinue the services. I got an email back with what I assume is Chinese characters in the body of the email and photos showing what to do. Worked for about a day and then came right back. I'll update if T-Mobile has any useful tips.

So I didn't get to go to the T-Mobile store but coincidentally I was uninstalling apps that I don't use a few days after I made that post. I ended up uninstalling 2 apps, one of which was viva video and I think this might have been the root of the problem. Last time I clicked on that app, it looked completely different and I wouldn't have recognized it as viva video if the name wasn't there. I also noticed that the app will open and run by itself but will not show up in my open apps list (hopefully that makes sense). Even when I had not used it for days, it would still show up in my battery optimization list as an app that needs to be closed. Must be a bug with the new face life. Haven't had any issues since then. I really hope this helps.
Hi
I'm trying to get Android messenger working on this. I have message+ disable and cellular also disabled.. I gave Android message permissions but when I click on watch face with message logo

Yeah, the Verizon face sucks, not much customization but you should be able do it in the android wear app on the phone, works for me. Just remove the message app tab and re add it ( first install the android messanger)
Use different face, watchmaker is great
Hi, I was able to change faces and such, but still unable to send messages with the android app and message+ is disabled. Also my microphone seems to not work, ok google doesn't work and a voice call the other person could not hear me.
kinda a pain. thx
I struggled with it for a bit as well. so what i had to do was do a factory reset (after updating wear 2.0). then somehow, i paired it to my phone, but skipped the rest of the initial setup stuff it wants you to do like giving it your phone number and setting up vzw message. first thing i did was disable all of the system apps like "phone" and "vzw messages" and/or wear24 app. Never having opened vzw messages, i downloaded google messages from play store. It works great now. google now works perfectly. i don't try to make phone calls off of it so can't help you with that part. but make sure you turn the cellular radio off after every reboot (just to save battery).
this is an amazing whatch for someone like me who does not *want* to have an lte watch. I just wanted a bluetooth only watch with a high res screen, big battery, modern wear processor for $80 shipped. - nfc and heartrate and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well. It gives me all of my notifications so i don't have to take out a phone during meetings and it's much snappier than my urbane was. - nfc, heartrate, and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well.
I've disabled msg+ and installed android messenger.
I can receive texts, but the only way I can send a text is via google assistant because even though the app is installed, the icon wont show in the app drawer.
But after I go through the voice process (send txt to blah blah blah), it errors out on sending it.
I've granted all permissions
Since there are not many Wear24 threads here I will see if any of you can help.
I agree with mistermojorizin - for the price it is now if is a good watch. My issues is this:
I want to use LTE and have it working fine. I can send and response to messages from Message+ (ugh), but when I use google assistant to send a message - which I have done often with other watches - I says sending with watch and hangs on a spinning wheel.
Anyone else see this and have a suggestion? If I could change the app that Assistant uses to send the message to Message+ that might solve the issue, but I haven't see how to do that.

If you try and send text message but it says send from watch and just sits there spinning, you need to disable VZW from sim info. That will also help battery life too. Only thing not working on my watch is the mic in a call. I'm using it with BT/WiFi only with my P2XL on T-Mobile.
I have installed Android Messenger and it works for me with the voice to text, I like that one a lot.
The watch in general is great, I wish that the speaker was louder (as I thought that it will be) and the NFC to be working. I paid $94 CAD for it, you can't even get a used Moto360 first gen in good condition for this price, never mind a high end device.
The band could be replaced, if you don't have Verizon for a provider why would anyone care for the antenna anyway? I have a Moto360 first gen and this is better with the Android Wear 2.0 and bigger battery, after 11 hours of moderate usage I am at 51% of battery remainig which is pretty decent.
Happy so far

Thanks for the siminfo trick. I think that might have done the job for getting voice assistant to use android messages instead of Verizon messages+. Before that, I could respond to text messages but just couldn't initiate a message using voice.
I also disabled the Verizon apps where I could. And I "deleted" Verizon as a carrier altogether (in the siminfo area). The other things I did to get going (and not wait for the system/google updates) was to sideload android wear 2.8, google play services, and finally the google app using ADB on my iMac. It needed all three it appeared.
Here's the command for ADB:
adb connect [IP of your watchort] (I didn't use a port)
adb install -r [app.apk]
Liking the wear24 quite a bit so far as compared to my old Moto 360 1st gen which is still going strong after a battery replacement. Kind of wish the watch diameter was as wide as the Moto 360. I'll do a video comparison of the two soon (makethistechwork.com).
Unable to send text via assistant after following steps

If you try and send text message but it says send from watch and just sits there spinning, you need to disable VZW from sim info. That will also help battery life too. Only thing not working on my watch is the mic in a call. I'm using it with BT/WiFi only with my P2XL on T-Mobile.

Thank you for the info! I'm using this watch with a Pixel XL and Tmobile just like you. However, even after disable version from the sim info, it still doesn't work. I have the same issue as before where it says that could not connect to a phone. I've included some screenshots showing my sim-info to illustrate what I'm talking about. Kindly suggest anything else that I can do since I've tried everything including factory resets.Thanks!
After updating the wear app and android messages, I can see previews of all my text threads, but when I tap the threads, messages crashes. Has anyone else seen this with all the recent updates?
EDIT: After futzing with permissions for a few seemingly related apps, Messages no longer crashes on me. I could swear I had already tried all of the changes I made this last round, but maybe I missed one every other time. If anyone else runs into this, I'll be happy to share permission settings to see if it helps.

Sure. First, I'll mention that I have removed all of the VZ carrier information, as suggested in this thread, as I don't use nor plan to use VZ, so that may or may not have anything to do with it.
I also disabled Message+, the default text app, in system app settings. I did not touch permissions there.
On to permissions... I pretty much went with all or nothing, looking through system apps and messing with anything that might have to do with messaging...
Android Messages: All on
Phone: All on
Wear OS: All on except storage
As I said, I had reset the phone a few times, and the last time, directly off of reset, my order was: update Google and WearOS system apps, disable Message+, install Android Messages, change permissions, open Android Messages. I didn't try to open Messages until after checking permissions.
Hey everyone
I have a fossil Gen 4 and having some issues. Regular google assistant seems to work but when I go to reply via voice on a text (using Google messages app) I tap the mix icon to reply and it tries to open but then immediately closes and goes back to the previous screen.
Anyone else have this issue or know how to resolve?
I'm in the process of doing a factory reset on the watch.
Previously I have tried clearing cache for messages, google. I tried uninstalling messages. Making sure all permissions are set correctly. I even rolled google back and nothing.
Anyone else encounter this?
Update.
Factory reset on the watch did not make any difference. Still doing it
Try open your phone and launch a web page (and refresh), after try the mic for dictation on watch to see what happen (when phone screen still on) ?

No, phone use is just to ensure all is right for internet connection. You must use your normal voice reply on watch but after you are sure that phone is connected to internet at this time.

Like I said assistant works fine on the watch. If I swipe to open assistant it will detect my voice just fine.
As per my OP I was saying that in the messages app when I go to voice reply and tap the mic icon it will open for a split select then close and go back to the options on how I want to reply

you have to do it through Play Store
Edit: Go to Play Store, swipe down, choose my applications option, Google...
Just want to chime in and say I have the same problem. Removing the update for the Google app by selecting uninstall through Google Play worked.
Unfortunately, I'm also unable to setup Google Pay on my watch. After opening Google Pay I tap "Set it up," it spins saying, "Getting your cards" then fails with "Something went wrong please try again." Works just fine on the phone app, any suggestions for the watch?
This latest update is a real doozy!

Now I have also this issue in my LG-W7 and Ticwatch Pro.
Solution is effectively to remove update for the "Google app". And like we have no option to remove update, we must uninstall the "Google App". "Google" is a System app, so uninstall do not uninstall but remove all update and now Voice command works again (and bonus it seem that battery life is better now..... )
