Hi, i'm disabled and only have the use of one arm, is it possible to completely control the 360 watch using my voice ONLY?
I believe so. You can tell it to call or text people in your contacts, tell it to dial numbers, start apps on the watch, etc. Is there anything specific you are worried about not being able to do?

The better option is to customize it like a pendant to wear around your neck. (Moto 360 looks good that way. .see here with steel connect M hook in the video on this page)

..then you can completely use it to swipe and accept calls and voice and use all the features
Using it like a watch on your arm. .yes you can use OK Google and call. .send messages and all. .but you cannot swipe the cards off or accept or reject a call

You can use your nose to swipe off the cards..
I'm not being funny.. I'm not disabled and I do it all the time.
I probably look a bit silly doing it, but when I need it to work it does.
Is swiping the only time you have to touch it

I'd like to somehow configure it so that the phone will ring when my wife calls even if I have the phone on silent (if I'm sleeping away from home and there's an emergency).
Any way to do this?
Thanks.
Set a silent ring tone for all of your contacts except her
Try RingMaster from the Market...
My go to tool for these kinds of things is always Tasker, very versatile.
Download a Silent ringtone with the Zedge app and set it as you phone ringtone. Set a normal ringtone for anyone you want to hear.
I use setting profiles to create a night/sleep profile that keeps the phone quiet, unless someone in my family group calls.
I have this set on a time schedule that depends on the day.
Does lots if cool stuff like silence your phone during meetings, lower volumes during work etc... its a little easier to use than tasker IMHO.
I haven't tested yet but Llama has this function called Noisy Contact which allows you to set a different ring volume to some contacts while the phone itself keeps the original volume setting.
Just search market for llama

Llama is fantastic. My phone goes silent at night, but if my wife calls it will ring.

Yeah llama can do a lot more than just profile managing. If set properly it could potentially boost your battery life a little. I ask it to turn off wifi and sync at night if I'm home, which is kinda nice.
I would love to see NFC implementation tho

try autoring in market

I like doing this with Tasker and allmost every thing I need with this program.. I personally like not have many different app. installed just to take care of 1 thing each..
Therefor I like Tasker that much.. since this one program can save me for installing a ton of apps.. and its rock solid !!!

Try Selective Silence
You could do it also with Xposed and Xblast Tools. Use Quiet Hours for all day and whitelist your one contact. You could even set how many times she or he can get through while those hours are active

I've been following your post, hoping for an answer too. I have wet hands often and would get alot of use out of a true hands free phone.
So far in my research, the answer is No.
Not very useful to have voice commands that you are required to use you finger to activate...

someone will have to make an app that links the proximity sensor to wake up command using s-voice .....not impossible, but a dev needs to work on it....and sorry i am no dev
Great Question
I ran into this issue with the blue tooth headset.
I use the security screen with pattern and discovered that my blue tooth headset will not dial out when the screen is locked. I dug into it and figured out that it was because it uses the s-voice app to provide the prompts.
I'm not sure, but I think Google has provided hooks for applications to work when the screen is locked, but you do have a security puzzle. If S-Voice can override the screen lock, you just defeated the purpose of the screen lock.
What we need is either a simplified S-Voice that only accesses the known numbers and nothing else, or a special mode you can easily place the phone into that enables the full S-Voice app to override the lock-screen, like a car mode, that you would enable and disable as needed. Has to be easy or you won't use it.
Thoughts?
Hey all,
Please don't flame, I am just looking for help (and I did search, I just want to make sure I am reading the state of things correctly).
I got a Moto360, and I use a Gear Fit. Is there still no way (on an S5) to use a "quick reply" to a text? Using the stock app? It is so nice on the Fit to just swipe a pre-configured text reply. I can't seem to do that on the 360, and what I read indicates I have to use a third party app?? Seems backward, but do I have that right?
Also, I can't seem to get my 360 to vibrate when I get a notification (email or text). I'm sure this is just user error, but I can't find the setting.
Thanks
When you receive a text, swipe to the right until you see reply, then if the speech request comes up, tap the screen again to get the quick reply options.
Pull down from the main clock screen and you'll see the mute/unmute. You're probably muted. Muted in this device's case means vibrate/don't vibrate (there's no speaker).
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I tried it, and when I get to the speech request, there don't seem to be any other pages. I swipe all directions, and all I can do is go back. Do I need to configure it somewhere?
You say you're swiping in all directions. Just tap in the center. So to sum it up:
Recieve text message
Swipe to the left to read it
Swipe again to the left to Reply, then tap
When speech req box comes up, tap, and that should bring up the canned reply menu

Thanks for sticking with me. I admit to being daft. Unless you're having a laugh on me, I just can't see it. When I get a text, I open it, tap "reply", get the voice dictation screen, and...nothing. I swipe, tap, double tap, nothing opens any submenu and I never see any canned replies. Any idea what I'm missing??
I'm using an S5, if that matters...
EDIT: It must have something to do with the type of messaging app. The stock Samsung app acts weird; this one just lets you hit "reply", then it sends a blank text. Handsent SMS doesn't even give you a reply option. Textra allows you to reply and pops up the voice reply app. If there an app that has the canned responses? Or is it just a flat spot for Samsung?
My experiences:
~Stock messaging app on my Nexus 4: swipe left, no reply feature on watch, only "open on phone"
~Go SMS Pro: swipe left, no reply feature on watch...which is weird because it used to have it...I swear it did...
~Messenger (from Google): swipe left (shows full conversation thread), swipe left again, tap reply, start speaking when it shows "speak now"
So it would appear that different apps do function differently on the watch.
Ah, yes, it does depend on the app you're using. I'm using Google Hangouts.
Note- Google Hangouts, not Messenger.
So, for anyone that cares, your mileage will vary GREATLY depending on what messaging app you use. It's a little disappointing that a relatively "dumber" device like the Fit (which I bought for $79) works like a champ with replying to texts, and the "smart" watch is a little dumb with such a basic feature. I will give Hangouts a try, although I am not crazy about the looks of the UI.
Thanks guys, and if there are others apps that work well with SMS, please let me know.
When you go to reply screen with Google screen, swipe up to reveal canned texts.
Works with hangouts and messenger

Be that as it may, and I'm sure it is, it still stinks.
So, if you're looking, the canned texts works with Hangouts and Messenger ONLY that I've found. Have you guys found a way to add custom canned text?

Sure. I just felt the distinction was important, as software issues get fixed or features added. Device design flaws don't.
There's an app called wear canned responses .. But your phone need to be rooted.. It uses xposed... Also xposed doesn't work on lollipop

Has anyone found any other apps that allow a text response OTHER than Hangouts?
Guys.. Don't know if most of you know this...I only thought it was possible in SMS.... But found out this yesterday
When you get an incoming call on your watch with red and green blobs on either side, you can swipe upwards to reveal auto reject call messages

Any option to modify this SMS messages?

acording to motorola tech, who I pressed hard to research, stated from a internal memo,, the MOTO 360 automated response messages are internal to the watch and CAN NOT be modified... I have HUGE problems with this as I thought it would trigger the automated responses FROM the telephone its self, as those CAN be modified, but why the hell are moto using an internal texes that CAN NOT be modified is beyond me... I need to use CUSTOM messages to respond to incoming calls, this is THE reason i bought the watch nexus 6 combo... FIX THIS PLEASE, I dont want to have to learn and program another device for a BASIC FUNCTION....
Hello, ok this has been bugging me really bad. My main use for a smartwatch apart from telling the time is to know when I have notifications when my phone is on silent.
Since maybe marshmallow on my Z5 I think the "do not disturb" feature is also applying to my watch.
My expected outcome for when my phone is in that mode is for my watch to vibrate when a message or call comes through hence I know there is a notification there.
It used to work like that and so did my other Sony smartwatches I have had however now it does not.
Am I missing a crucial setting or something?
The notifications come through fine but when in that mode there is no vibrate.
Thank you
Yes, I also have this... problem?
I have Marshmallow installed on my Z3 Compact and when I apply "Do not disturb" mode to my phone, the watch only displays notifications but does not vibrate at all. I think that's the main purpose of this mode.
Main purpose of the mode on the phone yes but surely not the watch

Yes... I agree and somehow miss Lollipop's priority option, it worked pretty nice sometimes.
