You have to look for this setting at your watch not at the phone.

Just got the Huawei 55020533 (not sure how else to identify it). I have Bluetooth turned on and set to Play Phone Audio on Watch. I've checked every volume setting to make sure it's at its loudest. I should say I'm hard of hearing, but I can hear the alarms and other sounds, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if I'm just SOL. Any help?
[SOLVED] I had an app on my phone called Auto Speaker that was interfering. Works great now.

Congrats on your Huawei Watch! It a awesome smartwatch... enjoy

will it not conflict when connecting the phone to the audio system of the car with that setting?
Update: apparently not as it is working fine

In my experience, yes and no. I have to manually connect it to my car each time (select the H/U in BT settings). Once connected it's fine. I didn't have that issue on my G Watch R or any other Android Wear (Moto 360, G Watch). My old Gear S2 had that issue but that watch was garbage. I'm going to look into a Bluetooth management app to see if I can prioritize my stereo higher than the Huawei Watch. Even with that issue, it's a great watch.
I've only had this watch for a week or so but so far I'm pretty happy with it. It looks great, there's a nice selection of aftermarket bands that look good for a reasonable price. Calls aren't as loud as I'd like but they're fine when there's no background noise. Playing music on this watch sounds nearly as good as my phone. It seems louder/cleaner than phone calls. I haven't tried any roms yet but they're coming soon. I like to give stock a chance for a week or so before modifying.
My only complaint is I wish it was a little thinner like my GWR was.

Sony Smart Bluetooth Headset SBH50 Review

Hey guys hows it going?
I just purchased one of the new smart bluetooth headsets from Sony which is the SBH50 model and I received it yesterday. Been using it for a day now. Just here to give you a review.
Now first I wasnt sure if it would work the way I assumed originally or if any of the features were compatible with the Xperia S. But bought it anyway as I mainly need it for calls.
As soon as I took it out of the box I immediately touched the headset to the back of my phone and boom. It was connected immediately. Received a notification to download the companion app. Downloaded and thats it. I was soon enough set up ready to go. So simple.
Sound quality is awesome for calls and music. Even the FM radio. The signal for the radio is also good. Unlike on the mw600 where the radio would cut out because the signal was weak.
When you receive a phone call the number pops up on screen with the name, compared to mw600 would be just the number. The notification for text to speech I still havent tested properly however so far seems to be working. I also havent checked the messaging notifications yet however I have seen the email and gmail notifications.pop up on screen.
The multipoint feature is excellent. You can select one device as a primary device and still receive notifcations from both devices and listen to music from the other.
The battery life is also amazing. Switched it on at 7 am and its still on id say about 75%. Most of thr battery has been consumed by me listening to the fm radio this morning.
Oh and there is an option to view your call log on the device too which is quite nice, especially if you want to ring back a number in the call list.
Build quality is very good I found. Feels slightly plasticy but good quality. Not the cheap plastic feel.
Theres a lot more which can be covered and I will add to this review the more I get to know the device and its features.

Got mine as well few days ago. Lost mw600. Not sure what Sony is thinking with 'smart' range as it regresses, since any bluetooth ever, had double click to redial and long press to voice dial. These, including mw1 are missing those functions. Also in comparison with mw600 now we need app to display contacts (sure not it shows names as well), but permanent ongoing notification in status bar and notifications kills this softaware for me.
As long as it does not allow me to change button options and setup, this smart bluetooth is not gonna be 'simply smart' for the foreseeable future. Opening api for Devs might help.
Also don't understand why bluetooth with basically same features, sans NFC, as mw600, is 30 percent larger in volume, while offering same talk/music times as it.
Rant over!
Basically, only reason I'm keeping it is because of possibility of firmware updates (if mw600 had this it wouldn't be obsolete yet and would buy again. Than again that company does not exist anymore) , making it somewhat future proof. This only applies if Sony keeps their end of the bargain.

I got one of these in the mail this week for my Xperia Z.
I was after a bluetooth unit with a 3.5mm output so i could hook it up to my Logitech Z2300 and control the music from my phone. Works well, only the bluetooth range is up to approx 15m line of sight. It'll do for my home entertaining.
I havent tried yet, but if i can connect my pc to it via BT as well i can play the songs off there too.
I dont really see the need for NFC since pairing with BT is simple enough.
Firmware can be updated on it via SUS.
The instruction manual included doesnt have any operating instructions. Im not 100% sure what the icons in the menu means.
Its very light if youre gonna clip it to your clothing, but to handle it is a little tricky cos it is too light.
Ive seen the Pro version of this, with usb on the end of it, so it can be used as standalone mp3 player. Wish i had seen that earlier.
The only thing I cant get it to do is connect to skype on my nexus 7 1st gen or on my xperia s

Well, I am somewhat happy with the SBH50 - I only had the MW600 for a short while before sending it back because of the volume controls.
However, it's terrible that you cannot launch voice dial with the big button (what does it anyway?) and the music controls will launch the standard music app if you hadn't launched a different one on the phone before...
I'm praying that this will become better.
My first one after a few weeks died. Wouldn't switch on at all thankfully Amazon replaced it for me.

Can anyone confirm the battery life of sbh50 when you only listen to fm radio, with no device connected? how long is it? because I need at least 10h of fm radio at work

I'm just looking for a replacement for my MW600 (first one got lost, second one got the clip broken and the last one all of a sudden died for no obvious reason ).
Now I already kind of decided to go for the SBH50 but coming across this thread I don't feel so confident any longer..
and the music controls will launch the standard music app if you hadn't launched a different one on the phone before...

Just to get this right- once you've started another app the buttons will control the playback of this particular app or start the default player instead?? (Which would be horrible since I'm exclusively using Spotify)
And something else which got me confused after having read too many reviews: Does the display turn off while listening/having calls? (The MW600 did and I would prefer it this way.)
And a last question especially for the previous MW600 users: Is the SBH50 comfortable to wear? From the pictures the clip doesn't really look secure to be attached compared with the old model..

Hi there. Yes the display turns off after a few seconds in a call, listening to music or when you stop pressing the buttons.
The clip is comfortable to wear however you will either need to clip it on to the neckline/collar of any top or anywhere along the zip line. You can't just clip it anywhere.

[Q] Sony Smartwatch 2 Bluetooth Issues

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.

I'm not blaming anyone. I just want it to work. Sony's big advantage over the Gear is that it is supposedly compatible with any android phone. It seems to have an issue here.

not sure what you are saying. I have an issue that has something to do with the watch, phone and car interface. I am looking to the people on this board for suggestions. You telling me that I shouldn't blame the watch and rolling your eyes is not helpful.
I am happy to not blame anyone and just have this work. I love the concept. I paid a lot of money for it... and I am hoping to find a workaround.

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.

Stereo not working.

Hi. I searched the forum's and couldn't find anything so here's my problem. I don't seem to be getting stereo output from my tablet.I have tried two headphones and downloaded a few stereo test from youtube and all they are all in mono . I've also been to the tablets settings and everything seems fine there.And before you ask, yes the plug is pushed in all the way.Thanks for any help.
what about stereo through the built-in speakers?
Same thing, mono sound through speakers as well.
Update: Stereo working now. I had to reset the tablet. Thanks for all your help.

Good to hear.
As I was poking around on my tablet, I noticed an accessibility setting that sets the audio to mono, and I thought of your thread.
Is your tablet the 10.1 2014 edition because i didn't see any setting like that on mine.

Yes, it's a new P605. It took me a long time to find it again, as it's in the accessibility settings, not the sound settings.
Settings -> Device -> Accessibility. (Then scroll down to see mono mode).
Yeah... Really easy to find
Lol, thanks dude. You get a thumbs up for that one. I can't believe I missed that in the settings. Obviously I wasn't looking hard enough but thanks again so if it ever happens again, (which shouldn't have happened at all) I'll know where to look.
I also have the same problem. I have the P605 version of tab. I've already ticked and unticked the mono/streo in accessibility but my output for built in speaker is still mono. Only the left speaker is functioning and the right isnt. For the headset, both produces sounds. I cant remember I installed something that have caused this.
Anyone who would like to answer my previous post?

Bluetooth Audio Stutter

Hi all, got my LG G3 D855 yesterday moving up from a Nexus 4. My first impressions where mixed, the screen was certainly a massive improvement but the phone feels incredibly laggy in comparison to my Nexus 4, but I was willing to work with it for a while. This morning I've tried linked my phone to my car's Bluetooth just like I would with my N4 to listen to music on daily commute. However I've noticed that around 3/4 a mintue the music stutters - only when the screen is off. I tried both Spotify and Google Play Music, having the same results with both.
Anyone else with the same problems / know how to fix this? It's incredibly annoying and could easily be a deal breaker for me.
I have the D855 3GB, I don't have any BT issues (using it in the car and with BT headphones). Did you try to delete the pairing and re-pair the G3 to the car BT ?
I have the Nexus 4 too and I don't feel that the G3 is laggy as in your description (it stutters very rarely and this started to happen after I installed Xposed and some modules).
Mine is a 2GB version wonder if that is causing me some of these problems
If it's when the screen is off, it sounds like the phone is trying to save power with the cpu and is causing problems. Changing the buffering might help if you use an app that can do that, or disabling this feature of the phone could work too.
I've been using my cars built in Bluetooth audio, and also through jaybird bluebudz. Both work perfectly with no issues whatsoever, I'm in a European 16gb 855 with 2gb ram. I'll continue to test, but it's worked very well with mp3 through the standard music app

Do you know what version of bluetooth your car has and if it uses Apt-X? It could be that it has trouble with certain formats, or could just be an individual problem.
Sorry i don't know, it's a seat alhambra 2013, touch screen and built in. There is very little documentation on those things in this car. I'll Google about the jaybirds later on, but they're also very new.
I have a similar issue with tunelink auto bluetooth receiver in my car, but audio works just fine with my jbl flip speaker at home...

Are you using ART or Dalvik? I don't have the phone, but this is an important feature to me. Strongly considering this phone, but I don't want to lose features such as dialing a call with a bluetooth device.

Sorry for the late reply I was on holidays. I'm using Dalvik. Holding the headset button does nothing, double pressing the headset button does redial the last number. Google Voice Dial does not pop up. I've tried multiple headsets from different manufacturers with no luck. The BlueAnt headset says that this feature (voice command) is not supported by this handset.
There is a work around to re-map the redial button but its not the best option and only works about 60% of the time. It also costs a couple of bucks but that's not a big deal.
If you have a Android Wear device you can dial from that also.
Bluetooth Voice Dial missing is a huge disappointment for a flagship phone.
Playing around with a G3 at an AT&T store, I connected my bluetooth earpiece to the display model. I long pressed the earpiece button and a LG dialog box popped up asking what I wanted to do, listing a call xxxxx command. It listed names & numbers. I use a Plantronics earpiece. It's older, not the latest & greatest, but can be had for under $20. Does anyone else see this?
The AT&T is a model D850, if I recall correctly.

I have this issue still also. On ANY Lollipop stock LG software or rom, it stutters, but on AOSP it doesn't. I even emailed LG about it to only receive a snotty reply telling me that as I had installed a custom rom my warranty was void and they wouldn't help.
Has been driving me mad for months, small but very annoying blemish on an otherwise near-perfect phone!

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!

I get voice too through my car stereo and on my phone along with the vibrations on my watch.

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

Yeah me too in my gf's car but my car doesn't have Bluetooth so I have to completely disconnect from my watch if I want voice when navigating in my car

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!

There are no options like this for the moto 360

I've never used any sort of car mode
Hey guys, I dunno if someone important at moto or google saw this thread or its just complete coincidence but this issue appears to have been fixed! I used navigation yesterday and the voice came through on my phone as well as my watch buzzing me with the notifications as well! Very cool

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.
