Moto360 - One Feature Driving Me Insane - Moto 360

Hey Guys - I have a Moto360 1st Gen.
Longer story short:
I have my phone paired via BT to my watch, and also to my Cars bluetooth Audio. If im driving in the car and also have my watch on and I receive a call, the in-car bluetooth will notify me and i will answer the call via the car. However any Audio for the call routes through the watch and not the cars audio, AKA i cant hear them and they cant hear me. When I turn my watch off, Obviously, the Cars Bluetooth works fine -- But when both are paired at the same time, my car receives and sends no audio, the watch gets it first.
Is there any way whatsoever I can turn this feature off, so my car gets audio and not the watch? Ive tried a few things and nothing seems to work - other then old school turning my watch off manually when i get in the car and turning it on when i get out of the car

Bluetooth help

Hi,
I have several bluetooth questions.
1. On my old TP2, once paired with BT in my car, as long as I would leave phone bluetooth on, it would auto connect every time I started my car. Nothing had to be done unless I reset the phone or turn BT off.
With ET4G, I have to manually go to BT settings and clique on my car BT to have it paired every single time I get into my car. Is that the way it works for everyone or is there a problem? It finds the car BT when I start the car, but does not auto pair.
2. I know officially Skype and Gtalk do not support BT audio out. Is there a way around? I use those apps to video chat while on the road, and on highway, speakerphone is too weak. Besides, it is located on the back of the phone, right against the windshield holder. Any ideas???
Thanks.
Mike
My BT connects every time I start my car or truck. I have a Pioneer Navigation Radio in the Car and Ford Sync in the Truck. BT has been pretty good for me so far. If you have not done so, maybe try and un-pair and re-pair it and see if that helps.
No problem here with car BT connecting automatically.
If you want Skype BT, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 (bonus: you can turn off annoying start up/exit sound)

Bluetooth Connections

Hey there, I have a quick question about Bluetooth.
Here is the situation: I use a bt headset when driving every time. It's a godsend etc etc. But I also have an auxiliary port on my car's head-unit which I use to plug my phone into and stream music. I would like to minimize the amount of wires going around because sometimes I also have to plug in a usb power cable into the phone and then things get messy.
So here's my question: Can I have my bt headset paired and connected, and also get a Bluetooth audio receiver (like the official htc bt receiever: http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-bluetooth-stereoclip/) and have it paired and connected at the same time. This way I can stream music but also receive calls to my headset.
Thanks

Only if the car is compatible with streaming music via Bluetooth.
Well the head-unit does not have/support Bluetooth, this much is true. However it does have an Aux port like I said, and with the device I posted (that htc bt dongle) i can plug it into the aux port and stream that way. I know this will work but I don't know if I can also still use my bt headset for phone calls at the same time.
If it matters, the headset is a Jawbone Icon.
Thanks!
no one?

Yes, you can. I use that exact setup in my Nissan Juke. You can have multiple pairings simultaneously. The music even stops when you get a call, then resumes after.

Help me with Bluetooth

I have a bluetooth question and it's not specific to this tablet. And, it may not be fixable. I leave bluetooth on all the time for all my devices. It's necessary for keyboards, car stereo, etc.
I have my main bluetooth speaker paired with my phone (a Note 3) and my Note 10.1. However, when I turn the speaker on it automatically connects to the phone. This is a problem because the phone may be downstairs while I'm upstairs with the tablet. I want to play music from the tablet but find I have to go downstairs and turn off bluetooth on the phone and then go back upstairs to play music from the tablet.
Is there a way for me to force which device gets control of the bluetooth speaker? Can I send an I-want-the-speaker command to the phone to have the phone release it's stranglehold on the speaker?
It's frustrating behavior having a speaker that doesn't do what I want. Yeah, I could buy a speaker for every floor but that's not the economical.
You either have to switch BT off every time, or the speaker. If you switch off BT on the Note, the speaker may enter standby, and you have to activate both the speakers and Bt the next time.

Unpair the phone. Use the 10.1 for a minute then pair the phone again. That will probably give the 10.1 preference.

voice call issue when paired with moto360 and car

Here are the details
Honda Odessey 2013
OnePlus One 64GB, running 11.0-XNPH33R and franco kernel r16
Android Wear 1.0.1.1379611
Google Play Service 5.0.89 (1307510-038)
Google Search 3.6.14.1337016.arm
Moto 360 4.4W.1/KGW42N
Without Moto 360/Android Wear, my phone will pair with the car just fine
I can listen to audio (streaming from Tunein Radio)
I can make voice call, and the call will go through car speaker
With Moto 360/Android Wear, my phone will pair with the car just fine
I can still listen to audio (streaming from Tunein Radio)
However, when I make a voice call on my phone, the audio does not go through car speaker
Phone is still connected via bluetooth
On the dialer, there's an icon for directing audio to headset, speaker, or bluetooth. bluetooth option is not dimmed, but I can't select it either
In short, when Moto 360 is paired to the phone, voice call audio only go through phone speaker
As a test, while I am still on the call, with audio going through phone speaker, I goto Android Wear, and disconnect Moto 360. 5 seconds later, voice call audio go through car speaker!
Does anyone have experience with moto 360 and bluetooth voice call over car speake?
I hope this is a bug, and not a feature!

I have the same exact issue but with a Bluetooth earpiece, the voice call audio will not go through my BT earpiece. I've missed many important calls due to this. It's almost as if the voice audio is being rerouted to the watch!
Same issue
I have the exact same issue. It is with my wife's car, a 2014 MAzda CX-5 and also occasionally in my Nissan LEAF. It bothers me.
Same here with my 2014 Genesis.
For those replying to the OP, you might want to list your phone too, not just your car, since it's more likely the phone that's the issue.
On my Nexus 5, I don't see this issue with my 2004 Acura, nor with my wife's 2014 Jeep. I've received and made calls in both vehicles just fine, although, I will say that I haven't had much luck using the 360 to place the call. It always seems to fail to find the right person, or simply fail to understand my command at all.
I'm having similar issues with my G3 and BMW M4.... If my phone and the watch are connected, the car will *usually* connect normallyl... but if I make a call, the call usually goes fine for a while but then all of a sudden the car will lose the connection randomly. This did not happen before I had the watch. If i disconnect the watch from the phone, the car phone picks right back up and works normally. There have also been a few times where the phone and the car have not automatically paired now that I have the watch. Any fixes? Is there a way to prioritize bluetooth to the car connection? I did notice that one time when my call got kicked off the carphone was when a message was coming through.

Dual Bluetooth

Odd question. I bought a vehicle that has Bluetooth but only does phone calls. I attached a Bluetooth aux device to the radio, which allows streaming music. I need to have both to allow the steering wheel bluetooth controls for voice on my phone to work and music streaming. My phone and car work great when both bluetooth devices are connected to my phone.
So now the odd question, is there any way to have the phone pair to both simultaneously? It seems once it finds my car, then it stops looking for other devices and I have to manually connect the 2nd Bluetooth device. Thanks a head of time!

mine does this just fine. i was on a road trip bluetoothing to my fm modulator and when calls came in, it muted the music and made the phone ring thru the stock phone connection hardware. are you having troubles getting this same situation going?
No, they pair just fine. I just have to manually connect the 2nd device through the phone. It won't automatically connect to both once it finds the car.
