I have a sony smartwatch 2 which works perfectly with Nexus 6 stock, except I had a gear 2 neo with my S4 which I used to take calls on... yes I spoke into my wrist, was quite handy.... My question is, has anyone found a good watch you can take calls on that is compatible with the N6? I tried a mykronos zsplash but in setup the software was crappy and I ended up having to do a factory reset to get the phone to function again...... dont want to do that too many times lol
When I got my gear and Note 3 (from a guy on Craigslist) it worked perfectly. My very favorite App was "Pattern Dialer", which made it possible to speed dial from the Gear, and launch/hear the calls on the gear.
Then, I switched from Page Plus to Verizon, and the phone upgraded to Android 4.4.4. And pattern dialer stopped working.
I purchased another note 3 running 4.3, (and rooted it to prevent upgrades) in hopes that would solve my problem, but it didn't.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working or what I should do to make it work? I've got $100 if someone can make it work on one of my phones.
I have a toddler, and being able to answer and make calls from my wrist was really amazing. Please help me get it back.
Thanks so much.
Hey there. I have a strange problem with my gear. It was working fine without problems since last week. Then by itself when i accept a call on my phone, automatically the gear receives it and i have to turn it back manually to the phone. Its the same when i am calling. Everything just go first trough the gear, not the phone. Any ideas how i can fix it ?
Let me start by saying that this started around the 3rd of the month. I've looked everywhere and every possible solution I have found does not work.
I have the ATT version of the LG Watch Sport and I am using it on T-Mobile with a Digits SIM. However, I mostly just use it through bluetooth on my phone and not directly on 4g.
I have NEVER had a problem before where my phone is connected to 4G and connected to my watch through bluetooth, with using Google Assistant to text someone or make a call. Recently however, trying to get Google Assistant to register or even work unless my phone or watch is connected to internet is impossible.
I have reset the watch and started over. I have tried resetting phone and watch. I have tried updating all apps and I have tried rolling back some apps., but I have not found a solution. I get notifications from texts and email but cannot respond via watch or use google to send texts, etc.
Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution for this?
So I've got a couple problems that I hope someone here can help me fix.
I've only had my phone for a few days and things were going great until this morning. I received a text message and replied to it, but my response just sat on "sending..." until it failed. Once it failed I was able to tap on it to send it again, and it went through. Tested sending other messages to the same person and one other and I'm having the same issue. One person has a Galaxy S8 and the other an iPhone SE, so it's not limited to just Android or iOS users. All texts I try to send sit on "sending..." forever until they fail, then they send right away if I tap to resend. I've tried every supposed fix that I could find online to people that were having the same problem on older Samsung phones, but nothing has helped. The one solution that seems like it might help, I can't find on this phone. I've used both the stock Samsung Messages app and the Google Messages app, they both refuse to send messages and I can't find this setting in either app or in the phone settings. The setting I am referring to is called "message center" and it's supposed to be in the settings for the messages app, where you can change a number that corresponds to your carrier to allow text messaging or something like that. Like I said, I have no problem receiving texts.
My other issue is one I actually ran into on my Note 4 I was using before I got the 9. I had 8.1 installed on the 4 but I tried everything I could find online to try and fix this issue too, but didn't really have any luck. Now the problem has returned on my 9, I can't download updates or new apps from the Play Store. They just sit on "downloading". The download might finally start after letting it sit for an hour or so, but they won't initiate right away. So I've taken to using APKPure or APK Mirror to do my updates.
I've tried many things to solve both issues, but nothing has helped. The only thing I've not done is a factory reset because I really don't want to go through that already. Plus I did factory resets/clean ROM installs on the Note 4 and the Play Store issue always came back. I'm at wits end and am about ready to switch to an iPhone for good. Really don't want to as I much rather prefer Android and especially the Note phones, the 9 is a beast. But I can't take this Play Store issue much longer and not being able to send texts is not acceptable. So any help on either issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Have you tried changing your network settings? Have you made any modifications to your phone? Is play store problem on WiFi, mobile data, or both? Have you cleared data in play store and services? I think if you've had the problem with two of your phone, is there some commonality between the two? Some none mainstream apps or modification you did to both? If you've tried any and all fixes you've seen on Google, I think you need to factory reset, no point jumping through hoops to fix it if you're not willing to do a reset once at least. There are limited backup capabilities without root that you could use. But really you want to reset, and use as close to factory settings as you can for a while and see if the problem is still there before adding all your own apps and stuff.
What mods have you done to the note 9? Doesn't sound like a stock setup you got going there.Are you using the stock factory sms app or did you download an apk of it from apk pure?
My next question would be what network are you on and where and what model device.?

The text message issue seems to have resolved itself. I'm hoping it was just an issue with my network and won't return. I'd still really like to find the "message center" setting that's mentioned so many times online though in case I need it in the future.
I didn't bother listing what network I'm on since these issues appear to happen on many models of phones and all networks, but here is my info. 512gb model Note 9 on Spectrum Mobile, who is using Verizon's network I believe. My Note 4 on the other hand is a T-Mobile version running on their network through Straight-Talk.
Both issues happened on wifi and lte.
Like I said, I've done everything listed online I could find. I've cleared app cache, app data, reset network settings, booted into safe mode, booted into recovery to clear cache, installed the absolute newest versions of play services and play store apks, and whatever else I've read or thought of. And like I said, I've done clean installs/factory resets on my Note 4 to try and fix the play store issue and it always comes back. So I highly doubt doing so will permanently fix it on the 9.
I've been using Android since it first was released and have been in IT for much longer, but this play store issue has me stumped. The 9 isn't modified in any way other than running a dark theme from the Samsung Theme app. I guess if nothing turns up here I will give it a few days and then do a reset if it doesn't resolve itself, reinstall apps slowly so I can see if one of them is responsible even though safe mode ruling them out didn't work.
You don't need to worry about the message center, I'm pretty sure it's not even a thing anymore, I remember it from the days of the Nokia 5110 haha. If you really want to know it and your messages app has a setting to add it you can call your network provider for it or look on Google for your networks message center, but I'm sure it's not even necessary, especially if your test messaging works, if you needed to enter the message center and you didn't, you wouldn't be able to text at all. As I said, I'm positive it's a thing just from the olden days anyway.
As for play store, I have had a similar problem in the past but it was always just a short lived issue that resolved itself, but if it's happening to you repeatedly then I don't know, other than a reset.
