Hello,
anyone else experiencing background noise while recording a voice message with the watch, e.g. a voice message for whatsapp?
Sounds to me the processor or any other component of the smartwatch is being picked up by the microfon. The noise is only to hear if the watch has to process a lot, like while using an app taking a voice message.
Actually I can also hear the noise if I press it close against my ear in a quiet environment and turn the watch on or start an app.
Try e.g. "Wear Audio Recorder"

I experience the same background noise. I have tried all free audio apps for Smartwear with no luck. I hope that somebody has a proper explanation whats behind this noise - hardware or software (no fix / fix)-

I've experienced BT anomalies on many Android phones in the past, but nothing as bad as this.
T-Mobile S4- Streaming Bassdrive.com via XiiaLive Premium/Bluetooth to my 2012 Hyundai SantaFe. Flawless. Good audio quality. Then I get a phone call which I answer (either with the in steering wheel button or on screen button) and I can hear the caller, but they are drowned out by distorted streaming audio. Also the caller can hear this distorted audio. This seemingly continues indefinitely.
I then usually tap the Bluetooth button or the speaker button to switch off. Call ends, and audio resumes perfectly.
Any thoughts on this? Tweak to remedy it? Thanks everyone for the support.

This happened to me once when i received an incoming call while listening to music. the music stopped (seemed that way) but the caller said they could actually hear the music still playing. i haven't been able to replicate it though.
It seems to me on the new android devices that the streaming audio in the background isn't actually "stopped" for some events, and instead is only turned down for others. For instance, using the Google Navigation, instead of stopping Pandoras music like my old phone did, it will now simply turn it down some so you can hear the voice guidance, then turn the music back up. I actually like this feature because you can still hear the music in the background.
I am wondering if there is some kind of bug that is causing this to happen for a Bluetooth call event where the music is being turned down instead of off?
We finally have our watches updated with the long waited 1.4 internal speaker enable firmware.
I was so excited to side-load the update to my watch and seeing the new features activated, but with more usage to the watch/phone (note5) I started getting frustrated.
Phone calls cannot be received (heard or voice out) from phone if bluetooth (Play phone audio on watch) is selected. (unlike my previous iWatch)
2nd flaw is the strange behaviour using Facebook messenger calling when audio is diverted to watch, but this time the calls fail.
I thought i would see if its only me facing this, is it the combination of my phone/ watch misfit? or its the update?
I have already factory reset my watch, to no avail.
Please share your experiences guys.
For me this works super cool, no problem. Speaker is very loud and clear. I use it 50% volume at home, whitch is enough.

When you accept phone call on a phone voice is automatically directed through phone's earpiece. When you accept it on the watch, voice goes through the watch.
You can also switch voice direction during call using button having BT icon within in-call screen. This is how it works for me on Nexus 5x and I find it quite consistent.

Unfortunately answering the call from the screen doesn't activate the ear speaker in my case, but I can activate the loud speaker!

Answering the call from the watch screen will answer on the watch. To me that is as expected. If you want to answer it on the phone use the phone to answer instead of watch.

I guess it's dependent on a device type, Android version it is running and most importantly a dialer app that it is running.
I can imagine devices having custom dialer supplied by a vendor that significantly differs from the standard Android one could yield different results.
Anybody else encountered FB messenger crash?
I'm facing very serious problems while trying to use HWatch to make/answer calls.
1. Without activating "Play phone audio on watch" everything works as before (no way to answer the call without pulling the phone). Somehow expected behaviour.
2. When I activate "Play phone audio on watch", I can answer the call on watch and apparently it thinks the call is going normally. Byt nothing can be heard on either side of the call. On phone the in-call UI is also displayed and no sounds played or recorded.
3. What's even worse, when I conventionally answer the call on my phone, it's somehow answered also on watch, with result being similar to 2 - no voice whatsover on either device - for about 10 seconds. After that the call is hung up on watch and starts to be hearable on phone. This is very annoying.
I admit, I have an old Samsung Galaxy SII running SlimKat 4.4.4 (which should include standard AOSP dialer). Maybe it has an old version of Blutooth or something screwed elsewhere. But for me the new 1.4 functions are now plain unusable.
Edit: Point 3 somehow fixed (or demonstrates randomly). But still: no audio stream between phone and watch.

Well I am somehow facing same issues with my GN 5 with the latest MM, in addition to crashing of FB messenger... Line and other voice calling apps are running fine.
Another big problem with voice call in 1.4 release. In I enable voice call on watch, I can't make voice call with Viber, because sound always goes through watch. Only i can't change to phone loud speaker, but not for ear-speaker. I don't know does other app's like skype has same problem, but I think can.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing but what I find to be frustrating is with the gear 2 I could go back and forth. But with this it's one or the other. If I initiate the call with the watch it disconnects the bluetooth call audio on my phone and then I have to manually reconnect them. but if I do this I can't have the watch answer an incoming call (when I answer using the watch it is picked up on the phone only)'
I guess what I'm saying is that with the gear 2 I can have bluetooth call audio connected to both the watch and the phone at the same time (maybe because watch and phone were both samsung). With this bluetooth audio can connect to only one device at a time..

sell watch, I did that
Hi, does anyone know how i can record a phone call with both sides of the conversation being recorded. I have found an app "ACR call recorder" However this app only records both sides of the conversation, if the entire call is on speaker phone. I have tried many other apps, most of them, the sound quality on the other end of the conversation is terrible. my phone is not rooted and i would like to keep it that way. Thanks!!
Hey everyone,
does anybody else have the issue, that when you record anything in a loud environment (e.g.: festival, loud car music, club),
that the recorded sound becomes super stuttery and even mutes out when it's too loud?
I'm having this issue on WhatsApp.
Can anybody else try turning up music loud and record a voice note on WhatsApp and listen to it if it also mutes out/stutters?
Thanks in advance!
