[Q] Answering a call handsfree - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to answer a call handsfree, using a voice command?
Thanks.

Moto voice does it while driving at home etc

Please explain how as when i am driving and get a call I have to swipe to answer even though the phone is in driving mode?

Try enabling "Talk to me" under Moto - Assist - Driving settings.

Incoming call

When i am using my Kaiser and i am in the middle of a conversation, and there is a incoming call i get to know about it but the caller does not get a busy tone instead he gets a normal ringing tone.
This creates confusion as the caller feels i am ignoring his call, whereas actually i am in the middle of a conversation.
How to ensure that the caller gets a phone busy tone when i am in the middle of a call?
Cheers.
Start>Settings>Personal>Phone>Services
Click on "Call Waiting" and click Get Settings , enable "Notify Me"..
Read the WIKI and STICKY for more info.
he actually asked how to let the other caller get a busy signal... he seems to be seeing the call.
to answer the question. i think you need to set it with your operator.
Sounds like you're wanting no "call waiting" at all. Best bet is to ask your cell phone company if they can either remove that feature or disable it.
I didn't see any phone settings in my Tilt that would allow the user to do so.

When i enable the call waiting notification, and i am on a call, the other caller gets a busy signal (you get to hear beeps and not the phone ring)...& i get a missed call from the caller on my phone...
That's what i thought i thought the OP wanted...
thanks reaper it is working now.
Most welcome mike...

[Q] Drive not announcing incoming call but missed call

Hello,
wife's Moto X is connected to older VW bluetooth which only let's you dial through the phone or pick up incoming calls. That was the reason I got her the Moto x, so the drive assist would announce calls and she could place calls hands free. However, when a call comes in, it just rings, no announcement. When the call is not picked up, the phone then says "missed call from xxx". So drive is working somehow but not all the way. And when the "missed call from xxx" announcement is being spoken (and the screen goes black with the red microphone circle), the phone doesnt react to any voice input.
I upgrade and downgraded the assist app, didnt make any changes. I'm using the "having issues with bluetooth - other audio" option.
Any idea? Thanks a lot!
Have you been into the settings of assist and checked the boxes of the actions you want when you are driving? Also, is your GPS in high accuracy?

yes and yes. Drive assist shows up as symbol in the notification bar. And it runs because missed calls are being announced, just not incoming one's. Wife has replace the stock dialer, not sure if that makes a difference, because when I disabled it it was doing the same.
Try this: How to reset Motorola Assist
Thanks. I forgot to mention that I tried to clear cache etc. But reading through the comments from the link above, there are a lot of people having the same issue. I think I'll wait and see if the coming L update will fix things. Sounds like 4.4.4 update broke it for some. And I don't have much time fussing with the phone and car at the same time since it's not mine. But as of now, Assist seems useless and I could just use Google Now for the same functionality.

[Q] Outgoing call with car Bluetooth

Anybody know how to initiate outgoing phone calls on a N6 without having to swipe to unlock the phone first? I can make outgoing calls only after I swipe to unlock which really defeats the purpose if I have to fumble around with the phone before making a call.
The bluetooth connection is working fine, the phone has a pin lock but the car's bluetooth is setup as a trusted device and, when in the car, I can just swipe and it unlocks without asking for a pin.
I've searched around and found a lot of people asking the same question about Samsung devices doing this and apparently there's a Samsung call setting for outgoing call conditions. I haven't found any similar setting on a stock N6.
I'm running an unmodified N6 with 5.0.1.
Any help would be really appreciated

Thanks for the suggestion. Only way is voice control? That thing never really recognizes my commands right. The phone automagically transfers my contacts to the car so I was hoping to just be able to select the contact using steering wheel controls.
Thread Cleaned and be nice & play nice.....or else.
Working with sync!

The outgoing call? function works with my sync system but will not work with my old Sony system, for some reason it does not always hear the mic with screen off. I'm thinking it's an older version of bluetooth in the Sony. There are occasional bugs with Sync but they are random and cannot be reproduced.

urbane 2nd 3g edition..

two questions-issues..?
first is there an option for setting watch to ring when phone is ringing... like it was on lg g watch r.?
we dont have numbersync option i might add.. phone has its number amd watch completely different... my carrier does not support 2 sims on same number.
so now when phone is ringing watch is silent with no notification or anything...
second question is there a way that i get speech recognition to work in messenger or whatsap?
it works normally when searching web.. eg. ok google... traži nasumi?nu stvar (search random stuff in croatian) i get resukts on croatian in google..
but when i try to reply on whatsapp message whatever i say in croatian it only hears english..
thanks for any reply

On the LTE version, when not using numbersync, there is an option under the bluetooth settings on the watch that says "play audio on watch'. This has to be on for the watch to ring when connected by bluetooth. When you're paired by cell data, you have to forward calls to the watch's number.

hey. thanx man that worked great with one issue..
when i make call from phone as usual it stucks thinking that i am using bt head set (urbane)... and because of that proksimity sensor is off... so screen stays on... i disabled end call with power key so for now i manually turn screen of when in call until i found better solution..
phone is heavily modifired moto x style running 6.0 android.
found solution about screen not turning off.
instaled app from playstore to force screen of in certain conditions... in a call in my case.. so now it works like it used to do...
now only to get watch to understand croatian when replying ro messages...

Hello. I also have the same problem. If the answer to the report whatsapp Czech so it writes random nonsense. At home I have first-generation Moto 360 and there is not the problem. I'm sorry for my English using Google Translate :zmatený:

using voice command to answer / reject calls

It's got to be in here some place but I cannot find the setting to turn on voice answering or rejecting of incoming calls. All my previous Galaxy phones this was my favorite feature. Did they leave it out? Please tell me that isn't so
I loved this. I was searching for it. I dont think its here. /me cries in the corner
