I just got my new moto x. Love it. But i'm sad that there are no smart actions anymore. They were so convenient. I know that moto assist does a lot of similar things, but there is no way to customize it like you were able to before. I like to set ringer to silent when I connect to specific wifi networks and such for work and home. Is there a way to do this through moto assist or are we out of luck?

I know Moto X has been advertised as being able to do so many things hands free, but I can't seem to figure out if its possible to answer calls hands free, and then automatically turn on speaker phone.
There may be apps that can do this, but I assumed it would be possible by default on the X. It'd be nice to be able to use the home dock and answer calls without having to touch the phone at all.

Yes as far I have heard about MOTO X functionality it has the feature to answer the call with voice , without any touch experience...but that voice apllication does not work out actively or properly in a crowded area...but this is quite interesting one and will surely sell MOTO X at carrier
Still a cool feature

Do you happen to know what the command for it would be lol, I can't seem to say anything that will actually answer the phone.
I had never heard I could answer my phone without touching it.
You can answer calls and have it speak back text messages with voice when in driving mode, I'm still trying to figure out how to enable driving mode while not driving.

Is anyone else getting "False Positives" from Touchless Control? I've been getting several per day where I may be in conversation with someone and perhaps I say "OK" as part of the conversation but Touchless Control thinks its been given a command. Especially annoying when it proceeds to "butt dial" someone in my contacts.
Retrain it in a quiet room. I also select confirm before dialing.
Yes, I had the same problem on my new GSM unlocked one, was not a problem on my other one.
It activated even when I wasn't speaking several times.
I retrained it and has been fine since.
It happens...not a big deal if you select confirm before dialing....as Steve-x said.

Hi all
I am running lollipop and was wondering if I should use the moto custom voice to wake device with screen off, or use the one built into lollipop in Google now.
Is one better than the other ?
Besides being able to use a custom phrase on moto voice ?
I remember reading somewhere that the Google works better cuz its direct.
Any feedback would be much appreciated
Thanks and have a great weekend

Try them both, pick which one you like better.
Google Now can't wake your device unless it is charging.
Only Moto voice will work with the screen off of its not charging.

That's not correct. Lollipop has it built into the OS. Check under google now / settings and voice (voice detection). It's there. Screen off as well. And I think it works better than the moto x one after testing.
I'm well aware of it supposedly being built into lollipop. But it doesn't work with the screen off on the moto X unless its being charged. I've disabled moto voice, enabled google now voice detection from any screen and turned the screen off. Said "OK Google" nothing happens. There have been a few of us here that have tried it and it doesn't work. It does work, though, when it's being charged. If you're able to get it to work please let us know how you did it because I would rather use Google now.
My Google settings on CM 12. Does not work unless plugged in for me.
Haha my bad. I also have a nexus 6 so when I went to my moto X I assumed that it was the same. And I guess I tested it with the screen on. And alas, upon trying it, you are right. It doesn't work when the screen is off. Oops
This thread is close to the question I was researching but my question is more generic. I just got my new MotoX a couple days ago and I'm confused, what is the difference between Google Now or the Moto Voice apps? My old phone was a MotoX 2013 so I'm used to using Google Now for everything, now my new X seems to have two apps that do the same thing? What's the deal?

Moto Voice can wake up your phone, which Google Now cannot. Moto Voice can read your your new notifications (either on command, or during a set period of time), Google Now cannot. Most other voice commands are heard by Moto Voice, and then passed over to Google Now. The two don't really overlap in their abilities. They work together to give you the best of both worlds.

Oh, now I get it! Thanks!
I want my custom phrase to launch Google Now instead of Moto Voice since most of the time, Moto Voice hands it off to Google anyway and that takes time. I realize there's no setting for this, but I can use Tasker to detect when Moto Voice is active, and launch Voice Search from Google instead. For me, the key benefit of Moto X is the low power "always on" listening when the screen is off.
This works great when the screen is already on. However, if I use my custom keyphrase when the screen is off (most of the time), Tasker doesn't seem to recognize the launch of the Moto Voice application, and nothing happens.
I'm using an unlocked, but unrooted Moto X 2nd Gen (2014) phone. Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can accomplish this?
Hi there!
I used to have a dual-sim Moto G4 Plus, which was pretty comfortable for dealing with home/office numbers/lines/accounts.
My Moto X4 comes in a single-SIM variant, and although the easiest way to bring dual-sim would be to simply replace it with something else, I just like it too much to get rid of it.
So! I set call forwarding from one number to the one on my X4, whoch works alright. However, now there's no way to know when someone's calling me from my work number, and when it's from my personal one. I remember some phones used to tell you for a couple secs, and some apps managed to "catch" that notification and make a persistent one of their own. However, the X4 doesn't even have the brief notification. I tried using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=joe.forward
It has a "Mode 2" option that's supposed to work even when no brief toast notification is displayed, but it didn't work either. Anyone know of some other way to detect a forwarded call? Bonus: If I could set it to avoid forwarded calls on a schedule, that´d be perfect. But right now, I'd just settle with the notification (tasker sounds like an option for this last part, though).
Any ideas or clues will help, by the way! thanks!
