[Q] Which voice dial app?

Hi guys,
I recently got a Sony Xperia Ion HSPA. Because of the road rules I need a voice dialing app. The Xperia didn't have one included. I contacted Sony but apparently there are no such apps offered through Sony. I then downloaded a few from the Google play store (both free and purchased apps) but none of the apps downloaded worked for me or has the functionality needed. In a nutshell I went through everything that comes up on the Google play store when you search for voice dial or voice dialling.
I was wondering if you guys could help.
The phone:
-) The phone runs on Android 4.0.
-) I got a wired headset with the phone, will occassionally use bluetooth
App requirements:
-) Must start up on either pressing the answer button on the headset or on use of a 'magic word'.
-) Must not use the internet as I do not have a huge data allowance.
-) Must allow me to make calls by saying a name.
Note:
-) I got a built-in voice command app on an old Sony Ericsson Cedar J108 which works a treat. I am looking for something similar.
Thanks!

[Q] Moto 360 can't connect to my lenovo phone

Hi guys,
the moto 360 doesnt connects to my phone. I hope someone knows a solution for this problem.
My situation:
The phone is a Lenovo S920 with chinese firmware. It has android 4.4.2 Vibe UI 2.0 and i flashed gapps-micro. the latest version of play services, google search and android wear are installed. Everything works perfect.
The website from google with the wear compatibility check works.
Pairing with the watch works also but it doesnt stay connected, just for a few milliseconds.
With other phones the watch is working and the bluetooth from my phone works with other devices, like speakers or computer.
For me it sounds there is a problem with the bluetooth. Is there a opperntunity to fix this. I'm wearing the watch since two weeks without any functionality. Well, it just does what a watch does, telling me the time

I fixes it. After I installed new firmware on my phone android wear asked for a permission to use bluetooth. But after any disconnection the pop up displays again. It doesnt remember my choice.

local apps on smartwatch 2 - bluetooth off

hi i'm a new to smartwatch 2 dev and have some questions, hope someone could enlighten
while i'm still trying to learn the framework
apparently the smart extensions api basically have
Control and Widget as programmable objects / mini-frameworks
https://developer.sony.com/referenc...onyericsson/extras/liveware/aef/widget/Widget
https://developer.sony.com/referenc...yericsson/extras/liveware/aef/control/Control
from the documentation it seem to indicate that the apps actually run on the phone and the 'host application' *sends* - bitmaps , layouts, lists to the smartwatch via bluetooth say, hence, if bluetooth is disconnected or switched off the app basically stop running (at least on the smartwatch).
Q:
1) app runs on phone and beam data (screen, layouts, events) to-from watch via bluetooth
it is correct to say that this 'smart extension' app runs on the *phone* and communicates with smartwatch 2 via bluetooth (sending screen updates etc & with bidirectional comm, e.g. the responses)
this is very inefficient and *eats battery* if that's true and it would not be possible to run the app if bluetooth is disconnected.
2) local apps on smartwatch 2
can the app run locally on the smartwatch 2 itself (i.e. no comms, bluetooth is *disconnected*, disabled) and basically as a local app on the smartwatch 2? how could that be achieved (using the same control & widget classes? needs 'active low power'?
(this is important so that apps can run locally basically using the smartwatch as a platform on its own, independent of the phone or other remote devices, saving battery etc as well)
thanks much in advance

Hi!
Basically smartwatch 2 - is an additional screen to display information from the phone through the BT. If there is no communication on the clock, you can only see the notification came earlier and run local programs. These programs (flashlight, alarm clock, etc.) are built into the firmware and can not create such a program. There are off-line clock and date. There's a picture or a font loaded in the hours, and then they are schami countdown.
As a result, if you make your plug-in, it is necessary to optimize (reduce) the exchange of information, hours and phone to save battery power.
Sorry for my English.)))

Google Maps audio not coming through Toyota Entune. Other phone audio does. ??

Can anyone explain how to get Google maps audio through my Toyota Rav4 Hybrid Limited Entune Bluetooth, or why it is not working for me? I think I got to work once but don't remember how.
The Bluetooth connection automatically works for the phone audio and phone music player, but not for Google maps audio. If I switch off Bluetooth on the phone while running Google Maps, the Maps audio directions work from the phone. If I switch it back on, the audio is lost. Suggestions?
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Android 6.0.1

Bluetooth issues?!

I got a Nokia Steel HR watch, which I was using with my Xiaomi MI5s and my Sony Tablet. Working all the way through - but with this Moto Z2 Play, it cannot be connected through bluetooth. When I want to connect to the device, it says that PIN is not accepted. When I do this with other phones, it asks for a PIN - this phone doesn't. Other bluetooth devices, e.g. my H&K Speaker, are working - but this watch isn't connectable. Any clue what this could be about? I did also reset network settings and wiped cache&data for the bluetooth app... no effect.

Same problem here. On Nokia support website it saids Motorola 2nd gen phone (which update to 6.0) have some issues and Nokia gives as solution to use another device ...

Moto z2 play has problem with bluetooth devices in general. I have problems with my bluetooth headphones and with the pokemon go plus, wich I was using without problems with my previous galaxy s7. It seems that the issues was solved for the moto z play (1st gen) with the november security patch update, but it is still present for the z2 play. They should solve the issue with android O, along with the cell standby battery drain. At least, I hope. No solution for now.

So this issue is just with Nokia products?
