Both.
To text from TABLET, first install this app on your phone, then install our MightyText tablet app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mightytext.tablet
I use Tablet Talk and it's the same way, the app runs on both devices and they stay connected via BT or Wifi. I may have to give this one a try and compare.

Tablet Talk isn't free but you only need to purchase it once, I'd try this other one first.
MightyText uses the network. My favorite part is I can view my texts via https://mightytext.net/web/ and also send from there. So if I forget my phone at home I can log in from work and view/reply/send. They do store the texts on their server so you are risking that I guess. You can specify how many days worth of text to save on their side. This gives more detail as well http://mightytext.net/
Mighty text is pretty nice I like it
+1 for MightyText. I use it on my N7 and Moto X 2013. There is also a Chrome extension for texting from your computer.
Can Mighty Text let you answer phone calls via your Tablet? By that I mean the phone still answers the call, you can just remote it from the tablet.

Tablet Talk can, I want to try out Mighty Text, just seeing if it's there. With Tablet talk if the phone rings, I get a pop up on my Tablet to answer it. It's primarily for someone using a head/bluetooth. I use my tablet in the car for Nav/Music and my phone as a hot spot. I can answer calls from the tablet without needing to pick my phone up.
I do like the server based model with Mighty Text. Tablet Talk depends on the devices connecting together via BT or over the same wifi network.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I thought you wanted an app that let you actually take the call through your tablet with voice, not just control the phone being answered. MightyText does have an option to notify the tablet/PC when the phone is ringing, but I'm not sure if you can initiate the call with it or not.
I just checked my settings and turned it on for my phone. Not sure why it was off.. but the other day for the first time since I started taking the bus to work in July I got a phone call on the ride home. I had my headphones in, which were plugged in to my tablet, so I didn't hear my phone until it got to the loudest ringer (escalating "Maneater" by Hall & Oates ).

The notification is nice, at least you know you have a call. Nice ring tone btw..
I finally got everything worked out in the car so that the tablet connects to my head unit for music and the phone connects for phone. The tablet and phone connect to each other via BT for Tablet Talk to work and the tablet uses the hotspot on my phone. I almost have it all automated also, just need to work out something in tasker to turn my hotspot on when I have some time to play around with it.

Depending on the order of events, you could turn on hotspot as soon as your phone connects to the car. And when your tablet connects to the head unit, turn on wifi (if you keep it off for battery saving).
I actually have Tasker turn my hotspot on when I get out of the car (if it's M-F from 6:30a-7:30a; when I go to get on the bus), and turns off when my tablet detects that I'm near my work WiFi. In the afternoon Tasker enables WiFi at 4:30 when I leave work and stays on until bluetooth connects in my car again after I get off the bus.

Thanks for the tip, I figured I could trigger it off the BT connect, gotta see if I can get the app to open and turn on, on a stock LG G2 so it's a modded copy of the Verizon mobile hotspot..

I don't have a modded Hotspot app, but I use the Tasker toggle in Net > WiFi tether. Works great. If you're rooted, you can also use shell commands to simulate input if you need to open the Hotspot app and press a button. Not hard, I can share details if needed.

Now that I'm on a PC (was on my phone last night) I can explain the shell command option. If using the regular Net > Wifi Tether option doesn't work in Tasker, try this way.
First, go to Developer Options in your settings menu (if you don't have Dev Options, go to Settings > About Phone and tab the build number 7 times until it says you're a developer) and turn on Pointer Location. This will put a gray bar at the top of the screen showing the coordinates of where you're touching. Go into your hotspot app and note the coordinates of whatever buttons you need to press to enable and disable the hotspot. The coords you want are X and Y and should be the second set of numbers from the left.
Have a Tasker action open the hotspot app you need, then make a new action with Script > Shell.
In the Command portion, type:
Code:
input tap X Y
Where X and Y are the coordinates you recorded earlier for whatever button you need to press to enable hotspot. Make sure the Use Root checkbox is checked. If you need more than one input command, make another Script > Shell using the same method. I usually put Task > Wait for 1 second between input commands just to give the phone a moment to think. Do the same in reverse for your exit task to turn it back off again.
Once you set it up, press the play button in the lower left corner to test it out. You will need to grant Tasker root access if you haven't done so previously.
Let me know if you have questions, happy to help.

When connecting my phone to my car stereo, I get permission requests for the call history and phone book. I understand this is normal, however if I check the "don't ask again" box, the next time I connect the phone it doesn't retain that permission. My question is this: is there any way to permanently give the stereo access to the phone book and call history, so I don't have to OK it every time?
Thanks in advance.

You may want to look at the car end of this. My system (Ford sync) offers to download my phone book after which it doesn't ask for those permissions again since it has the data locally (which is probably why I don't experience this problem). See if you can get your car to download the phone book. Other than that, I can't confirm whether this is a bug with aokp or just a bad flash or something.
Because right now, it is missing a couple of things that are probably available, yet I have never found..
I am using the stock JB 4.1.2 on a Bell network Galaxy Nexus
- I would like to be able the Google Now voice search feature without having to touch the home button.. can't I set it up in some fashion to simply say "Google" from the lock screen instead of swiping to the Google button?
- I would like to have the phone read out my texts messages.. my friend has an S2 that has a Hands Free mode that detects when he is driving and speaks out his emails.. can't find something similar for the Nexus.
and speaking of Hands Free.. when you go to setting - Speech output you have a choice of Always of Hands-free only, but I have never found a way to turn on or set up a Hands-Free method of using the phone
- and finally.. has anyone ever gotten their phone to work with the SYNC system installed in Fords? I wish I could use the blue-tooth in SYNC to talk to Google now on my phone..

Skyvi will read your texts outloud.
Point 1 would require the microphone to be active all the time, killing battery, so I doubt it will happen.

The hands-free mode is probably only activated when it's in the car dock.
Work no longer let's us carry our phones with us there for the 360 will spend a lot of its time with no phone connection. I'm assuming it will still keep time? I only ask because an early Sony smart watch couldn't. What else? Can you still set timers use the stop watch? Can you use apps that don't require Internet connection like a calculator?
Anyone?
I don't have one but if it's like the g watch you will be able to still use the functions you asked about.

That's what I would expect.. But you never know these days. I just didn't want some usless brick that says please sync all day.

Yes, I can still check the time, set a timer, use the stop watch, etc. I haven't found a calculator app that works on the round display, yet.
It seems like voice recognition doesn't work, but anything you can run from the menu does. So you can set an alarm, timer, etc, though you have to use the touch interface which may not be as flexible.
I hope they give the option for offline voice recognition at some point. I think it would be very advantageous to be able to do basic tasks like setting reminders, alarms and creating notes etc. these could easily then sync once the phone is reconnected. There's no hardware reason why this wouldn't be possible it will just require implementation.

Also, if you put it in airplane mode, it doesn't even give you the voice prompt screen... instead it immediately shows the list of activities / apps you can do. Voice on that screen does not work at all. Too bad!

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. When you first take it out of the box, it asks for a language, after selecting one, no swiping, tapping, or anything else can get it from a screen saying to download the Wear app on your phone. It simply will not do anything until it does.
That's my experience, anyway. I couldn't get anything until my phone synced.

Yeah I talked to motorola customer service and they said that it won't ask that if it doesn't detects a android phone nearby. Hope this is true.
You have access to all of your watch apps like still. All apps that depended on your phone (like google now) won't work anymore. Basically what you'd expect.

How would WiFi work?
To get data from your smartphone you need to do what? WiFi is usually turned off on the Smartphone.
Do they plan on letting your watch hit WiFi access points, solo (no smartphone)?
If they do I wonder if there will be a keyboard to enter passwords to access secure WiFi? (I do know you can sideload a keyboard)
Also the battery life on this device is the best I seen but it is not great.
Got to effect the battery.

Good question. My original thought would be that it would connect to your home wifi or whatever you want to connect to. Or it could be your phone I guess as well. Either way, wifi offers greater range than bluetooth and I can't wait for this release. Maybe wifi will only turn on when bluetooth disconnects as it thinks you're out of range. But also have a option to have it on all the time. We will see.
WiFi Direct
My assumption is that, since the device supports Bluetooth V3, it will use WiFi direct for faster transfers between phone and watch. With the lack of a keyboard on the device (which I would describe as a lack, actually) nothing else makes sense. And in that case MP3 files or other stuff can be transferred much more quickly. Also, installation of APK´s and such can be done via WiFi direct.
But we will wait and see. According to the article, many more devices actually have a dormant WiFi module, as WiFi is built-in to the SnapDragon 400. The question is whether or not the manufacturer included an appropriate antenna complex in the device.
Maybe it can stay tethered when on the same Wi-Fi as your phone. That would be killer...I don't carry my phone around the house.

I'm really hoping that it google stalks the xda forums because I'm really hoping that the WiFi function works as follows.
You leave your phone at home. Your watch goes out with you.
It finds a recognised WiFi hotspot outside and it automatically connected to it and to the internet.
It seeks out your phone at home and syncs with it getting all your stuff pushed to you watch. Now that's a true smart watch.

Indeed. I will have NFC tags all over the place once this gets activated. Nightstand, the inside of my car door, laptop, desk, girlfriend.
They really should make NFC a priority to beat Apple to it, though, before their watch comes out.

The way I would do it is to simply have the saved WiFi networks list from you phone be synced up with the watch via bluetooth. And to save battery, only have the watch look for one of these WiFi networks IF it loses the bluetooth connection with your phone. Not sure if that's how it would work, but that would make sense to me. That way, it's seemless, requires little or no user input, and notifications just work, regardless of whether phone is in range or not.
aaaand here it comes:

Hopefully the roll out is pretty quick! Can't wait to have the wifi feature.

(Though, i am sure it will be here before the long forgotten replacement bands for the watch... )

Hi Guys - anyone here using a G4 with BMW iDrive (current NBT version)? If so are you able to get e-mails w/ the G4? So far, the best I can do is get text messages but my Exchange e-mail doesn't show up. The G4 bluetooth option to access messages is on, but not sure if it applies to e-mails. This worked perfectly w/ my Z2 (which is only running Android 5.0.2).
This is a '15 228i with Tech package & enhanced bluetooth / usb.
Any ideas? Thanks.

OK it looks like LG devices in general (G2, G3) don't support viewing e-mail via iDrive. Presumably, the G4 would have the same issue.

Strange. I actually have the opposite problem. For whatever reason LG doesn't offer the option to permanently deny messages permissions. It was like that on the G3 and now the G4, so even though I deny permission to messaging on the initial setup it automatically allows it every time after that and I have to go in and manually turn off message access every time I get in the car. Happens on all 3 of our vehicles and the 2 we had when we had G3s. At least with the G3 root was available and I could use AppOps to block bluetooth MAP access. One more reason my G4 is just lying on my desk unused until root (hopefully) becomes available :/
