I have a Verizon Moto X and generally love the phone. There is one aggravation that I haven't been able to figure out, and looking within this forum or across the Internet hasn't helped. Basically, Assist won't read incoming texts or the CallerID for incoming calls. Doesn't matter if I'm connected to bluetooth or not.
Likewise, when I put my phone in the "official" Griffin car dock, I get the "driving mode" symbol in the notification bar and the phone shows me a dreamscape. I don't get any "driving mode" screen, or see any useful function.
Am I missing something here? Is there some actual functionality associated with driving mode? And is there some trick to getting Assist to actually read out what it's supposed to read out?
For me (AT&T Moto X), Moto Assist works great. I only have sleeping mode and driving mode enabled. Driving mode appears to be based on the location sensors. Assuming you have the location settings enabled (no tin foil hat here), the device seems to go to driving mode whenever it detects you traveling fast enough to be in a car. Walking / Jogging do not trigger it.
Whenever I am driving, the Moto X is connected to my car's Bluetooth system, and when I receive a text message, it says: "<contact> sent you a message. Say "listen" to listen to the message." You say "listen" and it says "<contact> said <message>."

Not on mine. It resolutely refuses to read anything out loud using Assist. Doesn't seem to matter if it's connected to bluetooth or not.
Mine doesn't work, I just disabled it.
Internet connection?
I would't be suprised if this relied highly on assisted GPS which requires internet connection from time to time. Do you have mobile data enabled?
Also Google Geofences API usually does not work without internet connection, and the functionality there is very similar.
FYI: Mine doesn't seem to work either, but I don't have data plan, so can't test it

Do you have location services enabled? Are you on the latest firmware from Verizon? You should be on "139.15.1.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US" (Source)

Verizon? Same as jldeitch?
Location services are up and working. Latest firmware confirmed. But no talking texts. Sigh.
I've had the Moto X for six days now, and I was disappointed that the first time I turned on Moto Assist while driving it didn't read an incoming text to me.
However, I think that it comes down to the sensors and whether or not it believes that you're driving. In that first time that I tried it, I was driving relatively slowly through a residential area with lots of stop signs. I don't think that the Moto X actually determined that I was driving. The second time I tried it, I was driving on a highway; when I had my passenger send a text to me, it worked like a charm.
Last night I was in stop and go traffic during rush hour on that same highway and I received a number of texts that were not read to me because the Moto X didn't detect that I was driving.
It would be nice to have an "I'm driving; read all texts to me regardless of speed" mode, but it doesn't look like you get that on the phone (though perhaps you might with a car dock).
Does it only work with contacts?

I was on a trip yesterday and I noticed that when I turned on flight mode, it also turned off Bluetooth. I have a bluetooth GPS receiver that I use with my Alpline but wasn't able to in the plane because when I turned off my phone it also killed my Bluetooth.
:?: Is there a simple way to turn of JUST the phone radio, but leave the bluetooth up? My XDA II allowed me to turn off the phone's radio and leave bluetooth up. It just looks like bluetooth, WiFi and Phone have all just been lumped into Flight mode. Is there a system tweak or even a utility? I would be ok with either. Just found this annnoying. Thanks in advance for answering my question.

There's no way that I know to have flight mode on and still be able to use bluetooth, wifi or gprs on the XDAIIi.
I also know that you can on the XDAIIs.
Actually there is.
Check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36788&highlight=flight+mode
The interesting part is :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\FlightMode]
"IsFMCheckEnable"=dword:00000000
"WarningMsg"="Please turn Flight Mode off first"
Change "IsFMCheckEnable"=dword:00000001 to "IsFMCheckEnable"=dword:00000000
It allows you to use WiFi and Bluetooth while in flight mode. I found about this only minutes ago, and I'm sure glad I did
Cheerio !
I'm pretty sure that on flights it is illegal to use any form of wireless transmission hence BT & WiFi turning off at the same time as GSM. This is because they are all in the microwave band and can allegedly interfere with aircraft instruments.
If all else fails, turn flight mode on, turn BT on, the phone part will ask for a PIN which you must enabled this, select cancel and the phone part will turn off again leaving the BT active.
Thank you Mr_Smoke!
That App Radio Off works GREAT! I knew there had to be a simple fix.
:arrow: Bluetooth interference with instruments debunked:
http://www.bluetooth.com/NR/rdonlyr...7E/0/Aircraft_Safety_Report_for_Bluetooth.pdf
:!: Good article where they tested a 727 and 747 with bluetooth devices. They state that both UHF and VHF had a VERY remote chance of interference, but that the threshold would drop off before the device could emit enough power to actually interfere. Communications devices on aircraft have all been shielded and tested to higher energy levels than a simple BT signal from a PDA could push out. The only cavet is that use is prohibited during critical phase of flight (take off and landing) which is when the airlines currently make you turn off your devices.
I love using a BT GPS receiver (I put it up to the window and close the window shade to hold it in place) with Pocket Earth.

Its a VERY sweet program to show you where you are, direction you are headed, speed, and estimated time to your arrival. The only thing I wish that program had was altitude information which I emailed them as a suggestion for their next revision to their software.

You sure about this Pug? The message says that only emergency calls can be made until the pin is entered, that would suggest that the phone is still functional.
Or is this different to the message/routine at start up?
On a far more important note, I hear your looking at jumping ship to an Universal - what are we going to do without you? :wink:

No need to worry, the missus is having the Alpine for Tomtom etc. A bit of a waste know but it' too big for her for everyday use. I'll still be looking about here in the Alpine section, don't want to let my fans down now.
Hello all!
I must say, this watch is a very nice toy to play with and very handy in meetings! I have used the watch for a few days now, but I (only) have 2 issues to be solved which I cannot seem to find the answer yet:
1. The watch is connected to my phone OK (all notifications come through all the time). However, when I say "OK google" and then for instance "show me my steps" or "show me the weather", it will go to a screen saying me the connection is offline (white logo on blue background on the top of the screen). When I dismiss that message, I see that my connection is still OK! Weird .... this happens to me practically 80-90% of the times .... on a very rare occasion it succeeds to show me the info I want. By the way, my internet connection is OK at that time.
2. I have my phone also connected with BT to my Volvo V40 (2013). However, with the watch also on BT, the carkit of my Volvo is now almost useless as the voice is completely messed up (from the caller to me, and from me to the caller), sounds very intermittend or something. It seems like the BT connection is not happy with having 2 devices to be connected at the same time. My phone is an iNew V3 ... could it be something with BT profiles or versions?
I have already tried to reset the watch, re-install wear on my phone, deleted the dalvik cache (phone), un-installed apps, but no luck. Anybody have a clue on the above?
Maybe your Wifi/3G connexion is in sleeping mode and is too long to unsleep ? the watch can not connect so quickly ?
You sound like having BT reception issues on the phone. This behaviour might be triggered by the bluetooth interface itself (on the phone - bad design) or by bad drivers (also on the phone) or by interferences from the wifi module. Is your wifi on all the time?
Regular wifi is on 2.4GHz, the same frequency as BT. Wifi, however, uses more Rx/Tx power compared to BT so, under certain bad antenna designs, WiFi can just mess-up BT.
On my phone (Z1C) is the other way around: having BT ON will cause bad performance on 2.4GHz WiFi .... so I just stopped using the 2.4 band for WiFi.
Give it a try, Worst case scenario: use another phone.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the reply. About the first idea ... well if I have my phone on the charger and already switched on, it still happens. So there I assume the 3G / wifi connection is already on and this issue will not be due to the delay of switching the data connection on. Am I right?
Second option: my wifi is switched on all the time, you are right. I will try to experiment a little bit with it, let's see if that will make a difference. And, changing the phone ... hmmm well that would be a very high impact of course. My iNew V3 actually works very well ...
I am still a bit struggling with accepting it is my phone causing this issue ... only with the voice regocognition I have this issue ... with all other commands and apps the connection is OK! Only with the "OK google" option it says "offline" ... and immediately (I do not see the colored circle). To me it looks more like a but in the software or something, but after 3 resets of the device I also cannot believe that ...
Any more options? Thanks!

try to pair your watch with your friend phone and to check this is not a problem coming from your phone. sometimes certain kernel do have issue with some of the bluetooth device.
Hello everyone. Sorry for my English, because I am using a translator. I decided to write this post, because it happened to me the same trouble and I found her cause. In anticipation of its Nexus 6, I decided to temporarily buy fairly cheap option LG G60 (X135). When watch came to me, I noticed the same problem. I then tried to connect them to the Moto G (1st generation), and there is the same. but by chance, in the evening, in my hands was LG G90 and I connected watch to this phone. Everything works without any problem. it turns out that despite the declared characteristics (Bluetooth 4.0) in all devices, it works quite differently everywhere. I hope with Nexus no problems.
Hi all, after opening this thread I tried several things and have some new insights:
- new update (5.0.1) solved my issue with going "offline" after a voice command. Now it works perfectly! But only if I am not connected to my carkit.
- if my watch is connected and try to use the carkit the sound is still bad. So I would like to have my watch disconnected if my carkit connects:
-- this could be done by only allowing 1 device to pair with my phone and prioritize carkit to be first and watch to be second.
-- this could be done by actively unpairing the watch if I receive a call (and connect when call is over).
The first option would be the most reliable and most simple. I tried to find an app that restricts only having 1 pairing and having a prioritize option ... but I cannot find such app. People any options?
Thanks!
Hi guys, in response of the above, the app TRIGGER might do the job, but it seems closing the Android Wear app or disconnect via Bluetooth does NOT disconnect your watch! Has anybody succeeded in using TRIGGER to disconnect / connect the watch with a automatic job?
Looking for opinions and suggestions for enabling texts and SMS messages to display on the MTCB unit while driving. What, if anything are you guys using?
I searched around already, and found one thread where someone was using tasker and other functions to get messages displayed on the unit from their phone, but that solution didn't appear to be very reliable.
Is there an app that everyone is using? Or am I just late to the party? lol
I realize quite a few of you are using 3G connections with your MTCB, so this conversation is more geared towards those utilizing their Bluetooth only phone connection.

Even using a 3G/4G dongle cannot solve the SMS reception problem because these SMS are normally sent to the phone number, not to the 3G/4G SIM number. At most the dongle can be used to send SMS.
ATM no easy solution to this problem (and for social networks use too).
Have you looked at Tablet Talk? I'm not sure it would work over BT since the BT in these devices is locked down, but I believe there is also the option of using Wifi.
The other thread was mine and I was looking for the same thing
As mentioned above, I don't think it's actually possible with these units since it seems the Bluetooth is locked down. Can't remember the specific details but I'm sure it's to do with the Bluetooth service that handles the messages.
I could be wrong though but I know its not possible with tasker anyway and I don't think tablet talk works with Bluetooth cause I looked into that too. At the moment the way I do it is through data which as you say isn't quite as reliable
If you find anything though let me know

That's why I started this thread, to see if anyone had made any breakthroughs since your initial post. I went ahead and wasted the money on Tablet Talk, and I can confirm that the Bluetooth connection is the issue (Error Code:1) with our units. This seems like such a basic feature that Android would be capable of... my wife's Jeep does it automatically in Uconnect.
One thing I was considering trying with TabletTalk is to go into the factory settings, with the 126 password, and toggle around the Bluetooth type the unit is currently using. I know saving anything in this menu will effectively reset my unit, unless I save settings in Xposed, so I need a block of time to try it that I don't have right now. If it would even make a difference.

Hey, so I'm fairly new to android auto, having been in my 2016 civic for only a couple weeks. Everything is working great apart from the text message issue. Basically when I receive a text, it shows up on the home screen but when I click it, aa won't read it to me. The screen goes dark and the microphone icon goes blue as if it's trying to read it, but nothing happens and it returns to the home screen. Interestingly, if I press the microphone and use a voice command like 'read my last text message' aa says: "actually, I can't read your messages yet". Any help would be massively appreciated, it's really the only issue I've had so far with the vehicle or Android auto. Thanks.
Sorry, forgot to mention the phone is a nexus 5 with 6.0.1. The usb cord is the original that came with the phone, plugged into the usb port in the car designated for smartphone connection. Also I'm in Canada, if that matters.
Have you checked the permissions on the android app on your phone? Sounds like it doesn't have permissions to view your SMS?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yah I went to settings/apps/app permissions/sms and enabled all the apps in there. I also went to android auto, messenger, hangouts, Google play services, Google app, and contacts individually to make sure sms permissions were granted. I'm able to send a text from android auto, but it won't read out texts that I receive.
I'm having the same issue with my Galaxy S7 Edge running Android Auto on my Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. I went on vacation and my car sat for a while and now when I'm in Android Auto mode I can't receive and send text messages. I ask Google for the weather or to do a calculation and I get nothing. However, if I ask Google to dial someone whether in my contacts for not, it dials the number. Does this make any sense? There doesn't appear to be any official Android Auto support. I contact Pioneer and they told me my contacts weren't syncing with Android Auto which was strange enough when they said it, but given the fact that I don't get a reply when I ask GoogleNow for the weather means my contacts shouldn't have anything to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
Same here: SEAT Ibiza with Full Link, Nexus 6 with 6.0.1 with SMS and WhatsApp. Could that be caused by some setting for language, text-to-speech? Everything else works fine, also sending messages.
PS: The system language ist German...
Similar.. it'll occassionaly read one message. But only one. Not always the first one per time I connect the phone to the car. Hyundai elantra 2017, vzw gs5.

Made an account just so I could maybe help a few people. I'm using a Galaxy S6 with an AVH-4100NEX unit, and I was getting the same issue. Could send messages fine. Tap to read message - agonizing silence. Managed to solve it by factory resetting my device with Samsung's Smart Switch software. Backup. Reset to factory setting. Restore. Success. All the best!
**SOLVED** this problem has been driving me crazy, but I found the problem. Go to your Google Now settings, click "Voice" and turn OFF Bluetooth Headset.
Its to bad we can't have that on and use Android Auto. You have to choose either the built-in system in the car with Bluetooth or use Android Auto.
Anyways, I hope this solves your problems.
I was hoping Build A Wall's post was the fix but it didn't change anything at least for me. My GoogleNow works fine if I'm just using the phone in my hand. But ever since the end of June, when connected to my car, I can't text or ask for the weather but GoogleNow understand if I ask it to call someone or ask for directions. And even when it does work like making a call, it doesn't reply by saying "Calling Steve" like it used to. It's really weird. I'm wondering if Android Auto came out with an update and it screwed up things.
I don't think there has been another update, I just think it is primitive software that still doesn't quite work as it should. I have had similar problems that I have posted on here in that I could no longer send text messages but could still navigate etc. My situation now is that I have changed nothing on my Nexus or my car unit yet now it is working perfectly again! Hopefully, that is encouraging for you. I hope they will stabilise the software with some updates.

@mpisani sorry that didn't work. It sounds like your problem is a little different than mine. I was having the same issues as the fiest post in this thread. It just wouldn't read my text to me, but everything else worked great.
I hope you get it figured out.
I turned off Bluetooth entirley before starting the car, it didn't help.
Having the same issue. Next text will come in, screen will show that there is a new text and from whom, but when you touch the card the microphone in the right corner turns blue while rest of screen changes tone a bit to show its in background but there is no audio of text message being read. ask google to read new texts and google says it cannot do that at this time. I'm wondering if it can tell thru gps if you are in a state that has banned all texting while driving and they are trying to cover their ass.

Thank you so much - it worked!!! My Voice commands did not work at all, no matter what I tried (which was a lot) - it just turned on, listened, turned off, repeated. This fixed it. Now I can again give voice commands, and it will read messages to me as well!

I've been having the same issues with my new 2017 Elantra. It's sporadic in reading it, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Interestingly, when reading messages it uses the other TTS service and not the one from Google Now.
Going to try the BT setting and see how it works. Also was wondering if the issue was from the SMS app.

I don't believe it is the sms app purely because the fault is the same for me also with google hangouts which is of course a different app.
I'm really bored with it now sometimes working sometimes not no matter what solutions we come up with on here and try out.
Does Apple car play have all these issues with working just when it feels like it? Maybe we should all get iPhones so we can have software that just works as it should.
What about mirror link? Does anyone have experience with that? Or is it just music apps rather than communication like texting etc?

Since this new update, my LG v10 Android Auto experience is horrible - essentially voice commands hardly every work - I'm not getting full prompts all the time (sometimes I get audio beeps before/after, sometimes just before, sometimes just after, sometimes never!). I've found I can guess at what I should be saying when it's listening for voice input to send a text, but I get zero feedback from the system. And my received texts will not read back. Very Very frustrating. As I work for a Honda dealer, our engineers have informed me it's all on Android. I think I'll fire up my iPhone today and go back to CarPlay for a while and hope the next release fixes my issues - it's just not usable in its current form.
The Bluetooth setting worked for me. Really odd fix that I would have never guessed to try. Thanks for the tip
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
So far, like others, that odd setting fixed it. Google Now update must have introduced it.
Like so many others, I keep experiencing countless issues with AA informing me that it doesn't know how to send a text, that it's still learning of that it needs to gather more information. I'm on a Samsung S10 5G in a Kia Soul. First I tried a new cable. No help. I tried clearing the phone's cache. No help. Have tried multiple messaging apps. No help. (Currently using Pulse). Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.
How rubbish Rodney?
I don't understand your question. Its lack of consistency in doing things like simple sending/reading of SMS messages makes even the iPhone solution much more usable.
He is saying AA is crap and he is looking for a suitable working alternative.
I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. But I'm still learning *grin*
That's just it, I don't know. Are we stuck with it? Is there any app that can unify multiple apps and put them on the car's screen? I don't think so. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Apple's implementation of something is better than Google's.
In my truck not only does the factory head unit ask to read calls and text via Bluetooth but also via android auto. It could be possible that the two techs are competing and causing errors. One thing that may revel clue to or two is to park and open Matt log with your phone plugged in as you normally do and have someone send you texts and look for any errors.

Thanks! One question: What's Matt log? AA has also started saying something along the lines of, "Sure, but first let me get some more information" - around this point the voice generally fades out and I can't here anything else, but sometimes it also continues with - "select the prompt on your device" but there's never a prompt.
With my car it only works via the steering wheel controls when the phone is connected via the USB cable. I might have to see how it works with just OK Google.
I thought this one was fixed... but every time I've tried to send a text lately "OK Google text X person" ti gives me let me gather some more information... then nothing. Am I doing something wrong, or is texting through assistant on AA broken?
