My Vario III was connected to my PC last night and I was just browsing ebay.
All of a sudden, the phone gave a bleep and when I looked, it was on the dialling screen. Closer inspection showed that where the numbers usually appear, I had the word "Fender".
I had been on the musical instruments section of ebay and had just typed that word into the search box!
Well I turned the phone onto sleep mode, then back on again, it synced as normal and there was no repeat.
I'm just curious to know if anyone else has had this experience?

Yes I have!
It wasn't a problem as such (as far as I'm aware), just sort of a curious thing to happen.

MyMobiler happens to do similar tricks, dont' be affraid
I received 2 messages from people that i called them during the night.
I think its the lock program for the diamond.
Sometimes, it unlockes itself instead of tapping unlock twice.
Is there a program/tweak for unlocking on a saver way?
I dont want to ruin all my call minutes and bother people calling.
Have you seen Slide2Unlock?

You are doing this "bad english" thing on purpose aren't you? Almost every single browser out there has spell check built in. Your grammar is more or less correct, so it's definitely nothing to do with you being a foreign language speaker. What on earth are you trying to achieve?

Agreed, it seems a bit acted out.
AT&T Galaxy S3, unrooted, stock rom 4.4.2.
So yesterday on my way out of the office, I noticed that Accuweather said it was 95 degrees outside but the weather card on my Gear Live said it was 72. Weird, but whatever.
On the way home my wife sent me a chat via hangouts, and I replied using voice from the watch.
At home about a half hour later, I tried to set a reminder using "ok, google"....and nothing happened. Tried 7 or 8 times to get the watch to recognize the command with no luck. So then I tapped the watch face to try to get it to start listening so I could set a reminder and it couldn't hear me. It just went to the list of commands. Now even in hangouts it doesn't recognize that I'm speaking.
I'm using the Google Now Launcher on my GS3. I have Ok Google Everywhere turned on there, and in the voice search widget I can see the microphone icon go to "deactivated" when I do the wrist gesture thing on the watch to get it to start listening to me.
It's almost like my microphone hardware went bad
I've rebooted the watch several times and the phone as well. I am using Airwatch MDM and it was updated July 31st. I am not sure if "Ok, Google" has worked since then because I'm not sure I used it this weekend.
I think my next steps are to remove Airwatch to eliminate that variable, but it's required for me to get my work email and calendar on my phone.
Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions?
I had something similar happen to me a few weeks ago. I would say "OK google" and nothing happened. After a couple of hours though, it started working and hasn't happened since.

So--in this order--I've reset the watch, removed Airwatch, decrypted the phone, reinstalled the Wear app....and I got nothin.
Paired it with another phone and same thing.
Called Google, went through all that again while on the phone with a tech (bless her heart, it can't be easy being tech support for a brand new product that pretty much only technophiles buy).
40 minutes later...She had to pass it on to level 3 or whatever, and I'm expecting to be contacted within 48 hours.
I'm having the same issue. Did you get any solution?

I hope it's not a hardware issue.
I had a similar issue (voice completely stopped worked... ok google, as well as touching the screen and then giving a command). I did a complete device reset twice, as well as used the toolkit to wipe/reinstall. Nothing fixed it. Called google, who just confirmed that I did everything they would have, and had a new device shipped out to me. I have to return the broken one. Called them Monday morning and had the new device Tuesday afternoon

So I, too, called google and they shipped me a new watch under warranty. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had this problem, BUT....
Now my *NEW* watch has done the same thing!

I too am on my third watch being shipped out today in fact. New one worked just fine for 2 weeks and then no microphone at all even after a compete device reset.
Add one more to the list. Just got off the phone with Google, sending me a new watch. I am admittedly a bit nervous, hearing that even the replacements are having the same issue. I wonder what the refund protocol would be in that case?
Just an FYI for anyone down the road, they do put a hold on your card for the cost of the watch, and say it will be released "within 21 days" of receiving the defective unit.

I was told if the 3rd one had any issues whatsoever they would issue a refund. Just an FYI
Same here.... It is randomly working for me.... Most of the times it does not work.
I have reset the watch 3 times already and seems to be working for some minutes and then it stops working again
Looking back at my calendar, I was in an extremely loud (hearing protection required) environment the day before i noticed my first watch failed and immediately before the second one failed.
I don't see anything in the manual or warranty that indicates this is a problem, but I now suspect the mic couldn't handle it.

Interesting theory... I work in a shop where hearing protection is required, plus I go shooting at an indoor gun range. I don't remember if either prior warranty replacement happened right after extended time on the shop floor or shooting range, but i'll keep it in mind.

I think you are right. Number 3 no longer works after I went to the range today...
I went to the shooting range yesterday and had to exchange my Gear Live at Best Buy today. The microphone clearly can't take the SPL. I would suggest not wearing your Gear Live in any environment that requires hearing protection.

Mine quit responding after I went shooting. My second stopped after using a saws all.
Same problem, but don't think it's hardware...
First watch I had was dead out the box. Second one was fine for a month, then occasionally it would stop listening to voice commands. Sometimes "OK google" would work, other times not. Then later it would work again. No reset or charging or any interruption between it working and not. Sometimes when "OK google works, the "speak now" screen would come up, but it would no longer listen - so it can't be a hardware thing since it heard me immediately before it stopped working, and in fact I can go back to the watch face, say "OK google" again, it'll go to the "speak now" screen, and again won't respond. Also, when it's on the "speak now" screen, after a pause it just scrolls down to the next option in the menu ("take a note", "Play music" etc). I haven't used it anywhere loud (no gun ranges or anything), and the problem is sporadic, but frequent enough to be unusable as it should be. I did all the usual to try to fix the problem (re-pairing, removing apps, resetting, restarting, including a factory reset) but to no avail.
I have sent it back for another replacement ($200 temporarily on my card...), but I'm worried about this problem, and the dead out of the box issue. If it happens again, I'm going to get a refund, and choose another watch. Such a shame because this was a Christmas gift for me.
Same problem
I was looking for someone with the same problem as mine and found this post. Happens exactly the same for me and, reading your answers I realized the microphone stopped working the day after I went to a shooting range too. In real my voice commands do not stop working at all, but I have to SCREAM besides the watch to work.
My problem is, I live in Brazil, and bought a used watch during a business trip to the USA, than I don't have the coupon, or warranty. Anyone knows if it is possible to change only the microphone? seems difficult to replace welds on this boards. I guess will I have to replace the complete main board. Does someone have done that already? It is hard to find replacement parts for these watches...

Just to complete the information, according to IFixIt (www .ifixit .com/ Teardown/Samsung+Gear+Live+Teardown/27038 - remove the spaces on the beggining of the link), the microphone is a InvenSense ICS-43430 (I don't know how they know that, because on the picture, over the mic is written NL2031).
Considering this is the right component, it is really cheap to buy a replacement - store .invensense .com/ProductDetail/ICS43430-InvenSense-Inc/495200
Than lasts only the final question. It is possible to replace this component? People who gave cell phone assistance should be able to do that?
same here.
Count me in. The microphone stop, working about after 3 weeks. The problem is I live in Greece and i bought it through ebay from US so no documents nothing. Isnthere any solution on this?
Was demoing the Note 4 at a nearby Mall. I was told that you can wake the device up by saying "Hi Galaxy."
I didn't believe that at first so decided to give the voice prompt a try.
I said Hi Galaxy, the screen turned on, and I responded "Oh SH!T"
S Voice's Response was, "Oh No, I hope nothing bad happened."
I tried the voice recognition service again, and her response was, "Oh DEAR"
Hilarious! :crying::good::laugh:
It's so true, you can try it yourself.
Does this feature drain in the battery in any way since the mic is always on?
