I am using Android Auto with my 2017 Honda Pilot and Galaxy S7. Maps, music, phone calls work fine. OK Google works great. I am encountering a problem consistently with replying to text messages. A text message would show up, I would play the message. Google asks me if I want to reply. I say yes. But it keeps asking me "do you want to reply" or "I am done" repeatedly. For some reason, it's not listening/hearing my answer. Anyone run into this?

HI
ive searched for this for a few days now and got nowhere
so from my Gear live
i say OK Google
Send a text
It asks me to whom and then whatever name i say it comes up with a grey screen with a cloud on it saying no phone number for this contact.
All my contacts are on google and i have tried the samsung messages app and Hangouts as my default
Any ideas ?
Thanks
I just reset my phone and watch. It is also saying that contact integration needs to be turned on. I've not got the watch with me, but the setting is in google now on phone
Just checked and is already on but thanks anyway
[Q] Can't reply to texts using "reply" button and voice; everything else works
I've encountered a really strange problem on my watch (Samsung Gear Live) lately. Not a single texting app will let me use the "reply" button with voice.
Example: Friend texts me, text pops up on my watch. I swipe it and click "Reply" and try to reply using my voice. The text will write out on my watch screen, but the red Google mic icon just sits there for about 10 seconds as if its still thinking it's receiving input, and then it takes me to the "disconnected/watch is offline" screen.
But the watch is obviously not disconnected: I can exit that app and tap the screen and say "Okay Google" and then say "Text friend 'hi how's it going'" and the text will send without a problem.
I've encountered this error when using Coffee SMS, WearResponses, and Google Messenger. I've reset the watch, and cleared Android Wear data, and the problem still persists. This makes no sense. Any ideas/suggestions?
I am having problems on my GMC to get SMS messages on my AA. When I set it up I chose to include everything except the Phone permission. I chose to use contacts, sms, maps, mic. I have no problem receiving the notification card and listening to the playback on a Hangouts message. But when I receive a text it only shows up on my phone and I get nothing on the Android Auto screen in the truck. Its like I never received a message, so then I have to read it on my phone. I have no problem with using voice commands to send Hangouts and SMS messages, just no notification on the SMS.
The reason I didn't include my phone permission was because I like the way the Intellink works on the truck and so when an incoming call would come in and Android Auto had access I would have to go through it to answer making my steering wheel control useless. So I changed the settings but only removed the phone and now I can use the phone through the truck Intellink but am not getting the SMS notifications through Android Auto.
Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I just got my Zenwatch 3 today. Everything is fine but using whatsapp is inconvenience... there is no dedicated app...
If I keep swiping in the home screen to right eventually I will reach a contact page, after selecting a person there is some options like make a call, send a sms, and "whatsapp". However the whatsapp action is not working, everytime I press that there is a loading circle appears for a few seconds, then saying unable to reach Google...
Receiving notification and replying a whatsapp message has no issue, but I just can't initiate whatsapp from the contact page... tried to start whatsapp in phone but not helping...
I tried to search for solution but seems no one has this issue.. can someone give some tips on this? Thanks.
I just checked it with my watch and can confirm the message. I can't remember if it worked when I first set up my ZenWatch. It's my first Wear Device and I just have it for three weeks, so I don't know if it should work in general.
When I choose that option on my watch it gives me speech recognition to write a message. I am not having any problems whatsoever. It just doesn't work too well if my phone is dozing.
Anyone got Google allo working properly? I receive messages ok but android auto says it can't reply to them and also it can't send a new message either. I find this mad as WhatsApp for example works perfectly & it's not even a Google app.
