I like the ability to answer a call on my watch, but it gets annoying when not in an area where that is beneficial. It defaults to answer on the watch regardless if i answer on the watch or handset. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to disable it from automatically going to the watch every time.

If my watch is connected to my phone via Bluetooth, then the watch will vibrate when there is a call, sms, email...and that is normal. If I use my watch as standalone device and don't want to be disturbed, the I put it into DND(do not disturb mode).
Sounds like yours is working properly. I'm sure it's a setting or something but mine wasn't doing that. Always answers on watch. No matter what. I don't mean button... I mean audio comes from watch when I'm holding my phone to my ear.

This happens to me also, Nexus 5x with Gear S2 3g. It happens when answering a phone call on the phone, following a phone call answered from the watch. After the initial unintentional watch speakerphone occurrence my phone will function properly until the watch is used to answer the next call. Then the process starts over again. The watch needs to only play the audio if I answer the call on it but apparently it defaults to the last device used for audio when calls come in. At least the audio will stay coming out the phone until the watch is used again to answer a call. Very annoying...

Hi,
i got a HD2 which i also use in my car without hands-free kit. If there is an incoming call which i would like to answer i have to click to take the call, then slide down and click again to activate the speakers.
This is not very comfortable and there is a more or less time delay betwenn taking the call and actually hearing you opponent.
Is there any possibility to take a call with directly activating the speakers? Something like car-mode or a simple app that allows to take calls with activating the speakers.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, same problem for me.
Ok. Just found this in HTC Offcial Webpage.
"Switch between Speakerphone and earpiece during a call
Tap the Speaker icon on the Call Status screen, press and hold the Send Call button, or simply turn the device facedown"
Don't make phonecalls while your driving without handsfree-kit.
But if you do, read manual, the answere is in it.
In Vito Audio Notes Touch 1.03 Settings you can activate Speakerphone. But all incoming calls will open on speaker.
@ReneD70: Sure, you should avoid making phonecalls while driving but if there would be a way to answer calls with activated speakers this would be like a hands-free kit because there would be only one click on the phone.
I checked the manual but the only thing i found is how i can activate the speakers during a phone call like Quack2 allready posted. I didn't find something how about taking a call with speakers activated.
This cable will do what you want
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=638007
On top of all the other things this cable does, it also forces the call to be taken through the speakerphone on pickup

in and on the cooked roms if u answer the call and face the device on its face will auto activate the speaker with out the push of a button or slider
I love that you called the person ringing you your 'opponent'.
made me giggle
@ldx00: thanks for that link but this is not the best solution for me i think because i don't realy want to plug in a cable every time i enter the car.
@wingtytn: I don't have a cooked rom installed on my hd2. I got the original rom installed so i don't have this "feature". So this is not a solution for me too.
@madewokherd: Ok opponent may be not the best word for that
The best solution for me would be a second button to answer the call or a little app which causes the phone to activate the speakers when answering the call if this app is running. How can this be done? Would be great if someone could write such a hack or app.

with this app you can have a incomming call automatic on speaker,turn the app on iff you going to drive,turn it of if you dont go driving.
Thanks sitaniace for pointing this program out. Actually I found a newer version - 1.06 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369399
@mydom
I see, I always plug in in the car to keep the screen active, but if you don't, I see this is a problem. However, I also have a program called audioroute which I used to route the sound to the earpiece speaker when using skype (it defaults to external speaker). You can use the program to route all your sound to any output (earpiece, back speaker or headphones). If you search the forum you should be able to find it

Is there any way to turn on notification sounds (for new text msg or email etc.) during phone calls?
I find myself constantly taking my phone away from my ear during calls to check if there are any new notifications since the sounds get muted during call and find this kind of annoying. Seems like this should be a standard option, no?
Turn on pulse notification light in display.
You really talk on the phone so much and receive so many notifications that this is a problem?

Notification pulse is turned on - that has nothing to do with sound. It bothers me because notification sounds worked just fine during calls on my Galaxy Nexus.
If I talk on the phone for 40 minutes but I get an important text message 5 minutes into the call that needs a timely response, yes, it is a problem.
Anyone have any ideas? This is an annoying issue.
+1. I'm looking to see if there's a solution for this.
Yes , I need to know the answer to the same , because missing out on important messages are a fear when I am on long calls . Thanks .
Anything new on this? Just got my Nexus 5 and I'm having the same issue.
Use tasker. Make a profile that makes a short vibration upon receiving a notification. You could use a sound instead of vibrate, but imo that would be annoying for you and the person you're on the phone with.
Nexus 5 issue.
There's a simple solution for this., just go into your settings>sounds and notification >interruptions. Here you can edit what notification will interrupt you while being on a call.
its been a week since i got my gear S2 (yay!), and i have noticed a problem.
I have noticed that when im answering a call through the phone or through the watch its showing me a image of (the app is opening on your phone or something like that, but there is no phone call interface.
is this impossible? i want to have the option the hangup, mute, keypad and so on...
anyone?
Hi all,
I am having an issue with my Galaxy S6 Edge+ with Bluetooth forcing the speakerphone when I am making a call and driving. This has just starting occurring since the Nougat update. If someone calls me I can still answer from the head unit and the Bluetooth works perfectly. The issue is when I make a call and press the steering wheel Bluetooth button. When I do this and say the name of the person to call I get the voice command saying "Calling so and so mobile...ON SPEAKERPHONE". It says it's calling the person but then says ON SPEAKERPHONE.
What is interesting is I played around with different settings, reset my phone, unpaired and repaired, and still the same issue since the Nougat Update. But what is interesting is that I found if I make a call while my screen is active (screen is on), and I make the same Bluetooth call, I can see the google voice icon pop up on my phone, the call is made CORRECTLY, through Bluetooth. However, if my screen is off and I make the call, it ALWAYS reverts to speakerphone. So as long as I touch my phone to make the screen active for 5 or 10 seconds or whatever I have the screen set to, as long as the screen is on the Bluetooth always performs correctly. I can not figure out how to prevent the speakerphone from being the primary source when the phone screen is off and I make a Bluetooth outbound call.
Again, if someone calls me, it doesn't matter if my phone is locked, screen is off or on, the Bluetooth always works fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Seems to me that the wakelock for Bluetooth calling is set to be inactive while screen is off. See if you can find that wakelock or some other wakelock that would disable Bluetooth calling and switch it so that screen off does not interfere.

@ droidriven, thank you for your reply. I have never heard of wake lock before, is this an option within settings on my Galaxy S6 Edge+? I never had this issue with prior OS's but with Nougat this issue immediately became present. If you could lead me in the right direction where I might find the wake lock setting for Bluetooth, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again.
it looks like you are on to something. I checked this again and anytime I make a call via Bluetooth voice command and where my screen is off, I hear the automated voice command say calling so and so....on speakerphone....but when it says this, the screen stays locked and does not activate on the voice/Bluetooth command to call. I am using google voice and see no settings for wake lock or anything similar but I have pinned this down to anytime the screen is off, the voice command/Bluetooth always go to speaker phone. If someone calls me, it always works correctly, but that is because when someone calls me, my screen automatically engages/turns on.
Anyone else have this issue? It's definitely a problem and dangerous to have to grab my phone to turn it on or unlock it before making a voice/Bluetooth call. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go to PlayStore and do a search for:
Wakelock Detector
Wakelock are system processes and don't have a "setting" to manage them.
Use this app to find the running wakelocks, if you track it down you can then look for a way to manage it the way you need it to work. It works with root and without, instructions for without root are in the link.

Then read this to understand wakelocks

Droidriven,
I have a little more info on this issue. I did more research and realized somehow my "S VOICE" app was disabled so I enabled it and right away this issue was fixed! With S VOICE enabled, anytime I use the voice recognition button to make a call the screen on my phone immediately activates and the call works without going to speaker phone. With S Voice I can at least use the voice recognition button to make a Bluetooth call while driving and not have to worry about the call going to speakerphone.
The only issue I have noticed is it appears S VOICE isn't as accurate as google voice and google voice worked perfectly for me before the Nougat update. Now that I've isolated this issue to google voice where the screen will not activate when using the voice recognition button on my steering wheel to make a Bluetooth call and which causes all calls to go to speakerphone.....is this still something this wakelock detector may fix? My phone is not rooted and I have downloaded the non-rooted version of wakelock detector, I just don't know if it's going to help or not. It's odd that google voice worked fine prior to the Nougat update, whether my screen was off or locked when using Bluetooth and now all of a sudden this issue is present.
Any suggestions on this now that we know it's only google voice that has the problem and not S VOICE?

According to this and many other links I checked out, this is a common issue due to G Voice and S Voice incompatibility.

Hi,
I've just got a watch 2 sport and when I've dialed someone off the watch and they are engaged I cannot see how to end call as icons disappear, I then have to get phone out my pocket , same when I'm on a call and want to end it off watch without getting phone out, unlocking it, then ending call, how do you?
Thanks.
Would like to solve the same problem.
u can set in option to ends call by pressing power button
I've tried wear dialer and that does what I want, ie there is an answer and a end call icon on the watch itself, it's not perfect because once in a call you can't see anything on the watch bar the dialer, if you want to see the time by pressing the home button it ends the call.
not sure if i understand good (my english is not very well )
if u have a call and wanna see for example time, just swipe dialer like u would close any app, call will remain and you will be able to see what u want and at the end of call press power button

Not my situation.
I cant see the call informations on my watch.
Once I pick up the call, call UI on the watch dissapear.
Kind silly if you are driving car and speaking to your bluetooth and you are not able to end call without picking phone out of your pocket.

That's what I can't understand, I call a number from my watch through my Bluetooth, the call ui disappears, the number is say engaged, I then have to go back to my phone to end call as the watch won't do it, the only way the watch will do it is by taking the call solely through the watch itself, the call ui then stays.
Not the best but I've stuck with wear dialer even though once on a call the watch only shows the call ui, if you want to know the time while on the call, you can't.
