Why is there no way to change the audio path? When I'm navigating, I like to hear the voice from my phone. As long as my moto 360 is connected to my phone, the audio is routed to the watch which has no speaker so I hear nothing. This is kinda ridiculous to me that I can't change this like on other Bluetooth devices. I have to disconnect my watch to navigate bc of it.
Am I missing something or can this be fixed in a future update?
EDIT: Fixed! This issue has been fixed by someone. Maybe it was an update to Google maps? I used navigation yesterday and audio came through my phone as all as notifications on my watch. Very cool!
You don't get a voice but should feel a vibration when turn approaches.

Yeah I do, I just prefer to hear the voice and how many lanes turn and all that additional information the voice gives. I can look at the phone and it will tell me but I just prefer the voice. I also found out it will still work if I connect to my car stereo and the audio will come out of the stereo while it does the directions on the watch, so that's my best work around at the moment
Had the same issue yesterday. It was a major disappointment to say the least. Totally disconnected it from the phone which makes the watch almost useless to me

So, while navigating there's no turn-by-turn voice?
That's not good!

Did you also got voice through the stereo with no 360?...
Let's say, only with navigation from your cell...

Ya, I use navigation all the time when I'm out of my normal areas of driving. Always comes through my car stereo via bluetooth.
To get the voice to come through on the phone make sure Car Mode is disabled. If it is enabled it will try and send audio through whatever bluetooth connection it has. ...I think
I don't have my watch yet, but try going to the bluetooth settings on the phone and select the watch. If you have a "Media audio" profile with a check mark, try unchecking that. That should reroute that audio to the phone.
Will know for sure Tuesday when I get my 360!

Of course. With music streaming, the music would get quiet and the nav would be loud. I've used nav on my phone for ages.

So should I be hearing music through my handsfree?
I used my phone for GPS for the first time and I love hearing Nav notifications through my handsfree set. What I couldn't figure out is how to keep using my handsfree set without music playing through it. Nothing would play through the AUX port of my car stereo unless I turned off my handsfree.
I want to be able to hear music through the car stereo and notifications / calls through the headset - is that possible?

I don't think it's possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your phone manages both at the same time. You could have them go through the same one tough. That's what I personally do, both on bluetooth audio system (car).
How did you manage to get it to play on both? For me it seems like it has to be one or the other

Both on bluetooth? I simply have both running at the same time.
My issue was that it seemed like I can only do one or the other. I saw in the settings for my voyager legend that you can make calls through headset but have music still play through car stereo
That works

Not sure I completely understood what you're trying to do, so this may not be what you're wanting.
But if you go to your Bluetooth pairings on the phone and then go to the settings for your Car Stereo Bluetooth pairing, there is an option for either Call Audio or Music Audio. You can de-select the Music Audio so that only Call Audio plays through Bluetooth to the Car Stereo.
All I want is to be able to still hear navigation notifications in my headset while still be able to hear music through car stereo. That doesn't seem possible. I either hear it....
1) All in my headset (phone calls, music and notifications) or car stereo
2) Phone calls in headset (and navigation notifications if I'm on the phone) with music and notifications in car stereo
But I want it to be phone calls plus all notifications in headset regardless if I'm using the phone and music in car stereo

I went ahead and did a little search. Android seems to do it on it's on so I'm not sure why you can't connect to both and hear what you want in both.
I personally don't connect to 2 devices at the same time but I do get/hear everything in my car audio system (navigation, music, calls, notifications) and that can all be at the same time. The music sound will just lower when navigation girl speaks and when a notification comes in.
Now I dunno if you searched for this but I did find a app that might help (can't try it myself as I only connect to one): Smart Bluetooth Widget Free. There's also a paid version.
And like the other guy mentioned, you can select in the bluetooth options what you want to be streamed through it.

Did you read what I said? I gave a link to a app that might help him (which I haven't tested so can't confirm).
So I bought my Smartwatch 2 a few weeks ago (imported it from the UK) and it's great, the only problem is that it interferes with bluetooth music streaming and bluetooth call quality. I have a 2012 Chevrolet with bluetooth for calls and for media streaming, and I have not had any issues with streaming content over bluetooth until I purchased the Smartwatch. I also have an LG G2 on Verizon, and I thought that might be causing the issue, so I isolated the true cause; when I turn off the watch while playing music, the quality instantly improves. Also when I make or receive any calls in my car the quality is so tremendously bad that I can not understand a word of what the other person is saying. If I switch back to the normal handset via the in call menu on my phone, the call quality improves again.
Am I the only one out there with issues like this? And If not, has anyone found a way around this issue or know of what should be done?
(I know this isn't a Q&A forum, but I was not able to locate a section for Q&A on the smartwatch)
Here no problem with the smartwatch 2, htc one and parrot bluetooth car kit. Maybe your phone needs custom kernel or rom for optimised bluetooth emissions.

Sometimes my phone doesn't connect anymore to my car Bluetooth, untill I switch off my watch! When I then switch my watch back on it does not connect to the phone anymore.
This behaviour is intermittent so difficult to troubleshoot. What seems to help is to reboot my phone, so maybe it is phone related (HTC One X+).
I only have problems when I get out of reach BT wise. Mostly they reconnected but when they don't I have to unpair, reboot both and pair from start. Luckily it doesn't happen too often

I have exactly the same problem! I have the note 3 on att and a 2012 Audi Q5. I noticed it was only an issue when I receive a call...and shutting off the watch doesn't help.
I realize that this is because as long as I am on the call, the phone is sending a signal to the watch (keeping the number on the watch face). Even if I turn off the watch, the phone is still sending. The caller's voice is totally garbled. If I turn off the bluetooth, audio quality to the phone is fine. This is a killer for the watch! I can't use it in the car! If it only rang but didn't keep the info on the screen, it would be fine. I wonder if there is an app out there that will buzz the phone when the call comes in but then stop transmitting to the watch.
I guess I could turn off the phone handling app.. but that would defeat the purpose of the watch.
Does ANYONE have an idea how to fix this? I am at my wits' end!

If you mean that you have switched the SW2 completely off, in this case sending is clearly not possible, bluetooth is an handshaked protocol....

I have switched it off.. Eventually the distortion clears. Maybe the interference continues a bit because the car - phone bluetooth connection was somehow altered by the watch transmission?
I don't know how these things work but the distortion of the voice only happens when the watch is connected!
I am amenable to any suggestions.

Probably this is due to concurrent BT connections limitations or reciprocal radio interferences, or to a BT stack overload in one of those devices (likely the phone that has to keep 2 connections going at the same time).

If the source of the problem should lie in the phone BT, the Sony SW2 couldn't be blamed.

My personal advise is that probably the first (and only) workaround to try could be to change or modify the phone that apparently has some problems with double BT connections.

I stream, and take calls in my truck, with no issue in sound quality. How can Sony be blamed... are the supposed to account for every app combination, Bluetooth drivers, roms ect? Now its possible u have a defect.... if it was a detrimental design flaw I think a high percentage of us would experience the same, n that's just not the case....

I totally agree, but for somebody it's apparently too hard to believe...
I have 3 Bluetooth audio devices: car kit, Bluetooth speaker and Bluetooth stereo headphones.
The car kit and speaker work fine when the watch is connected but the headphones (Blueant X5) stutter while playing music and behave badly when trying to talk on a call. If I disable Bluetooth on the watch, it works fine.
I wonder if it's related to the Bluetooth version of the respective devices. Both the car kit and speaker are much newer than the old headphones.
Maybe your issue is similar. Do you have access to another phone you could test the watch against?

I suspect that if a device (for ex. a phone or a headset) hasn't at least Bluetooth version "3.0 + HS" (released in 2009) it's likely to have problems keeping 2 BT connections correctly working at the same time.

The car is a 2011. The watch and phone are state of the art....
I installed call handling pro which allows me to limit the number of seconds the watch displays info on an incoming call. This secondarily limits the time this phone-watch communication disrupts the voice bluetooth communication between phone and car. It has helped. The downside is that, when not in the car, I lose some of the benefit of the watch. I'm ok with the tradeoff. It is a workaround.
I'll never use it as a music player, that's just way too impractical (battery life), however I was thinking it'd be great if it could be synced with a car stereo with bluetooth so that while using the GPS feature, we could actually hear the voice directions.
Probably a long shot...

As long as your phone is hooked up to the Bluetooth in your car, you will be able to hear the navigation directions.
You don't even have to pull the phone out of your pocket, and the watch will still vibrate and show the turns
No way, really?! So I can get directions by speaking "ok, google" to my 360, and as long as my phone is synced to my car stereo, I'll be able to hear navigation directions? That's really cool!

Yeah, remember your phone is doing all the work, your watch is just telling it what to do and showing the notifications, so it will run the program on your phone with the screen off...
You can also tell it to play a particular song on the phone and it will play through the speakers. And when you say "OK Google", it mutes the sound so it can hear you talk...

I have no idea about the BT, however I would think it would be the phone listening for your voice commands. As far as you notifications, using your root browser, go to /system/media/audio/ui and use whatever sound you want for whatever notification. You will have to change your new sound file exactly to what your wanting to replace. So if you want to change your phone unlocking sound, you would rename your sound file to
Unlock.ogg :good:

By default, assistant should listen through your phone. You can however, set it to listen through the BT headset. Per that setting it is 'if available', no idea what that means however.
Assistant settings > phone > other voice settings
As to the stock UI sounds, they can only be changed if you have rooted your device.

I don't think those settings will do what he wants. I have a Bluetooth Plantronics headset and hearing aids that connect with Bluetooth. For both I have to tap a button on the device to answer. The Plantronics headset will answer if it is off my ear and I put it up to my ear, but that is a setting in the headset, not the phone.

I just got a chance to look, and unfortunately no, the setting isn't there. I connect to an FM transmitter in my car, and still need to reach over and slide to answer when someone calls. I just want it to automatically answer so I don't need to touch the phone. When I use my ear buds that would be nice as well.
