if the sony smartwatch is anything like my motorola motoactv, then the answer button only pops up if you have headphones connected to the watch itself. if no headphones detected, it will default to decline.

It works, but not flawlessly. There's an issue with the OS that can activate talk-back (or parts thereof). It only comes into play if you install some of the third-party notification apps, like Watch It (really good). It can be fixed permanently (in a non-ideal why) or temporarily fixed (less convenient but does not require disabling Engines). You'll know when you've got this issue, because your phone will unexpectedly say to you "the folder is opening..." when you open a folder. It's a minor irritation, but it gets on your nerves very quickly.
The watch itself works very well with my Note 2. Never dropped connection so far, seems to reliably get notifications (I have actually started to turn some off - as I get more than I thought I did!).
I like how it works with my phone. I see the Smartwatch as an evolutionary step to a decent version, which hopefully Sammy or Google will release. And at $100, you can't really go wrong.
Quite a few apps, and one or two of the paid ones are worth it, but mostly the free ones will do you just fine.

Actually i just wanted to know that the apps for smartwatch are perfectly working with Note 2 or not, as i tried the call handler app in smartwatch with note 2, then i find that there is no accept button on smartwatch to accept the call only decline button is there and also find the issue with the music app. So the issue is just with mine or every one facing the same . If you are facing the same issue then is there any way to get rid of this.
Please please please reply.

The SmartWatch is not fully compatible with the Note 2 for the phone answering App. It only works fully with Sony phones. There is no accept-call option in anything other than Sony phones.
Regards.
Considering you probably will want to take the phone out of your pocket before answering it, I don't see that as a real issue. "watch it" (and other programs that use accessibility settings) clashes with some other settings on the phone causing unexpected voice feedback and disabling the continuous input on the stock keyboard.. Other than that its fine..

Can we control our music player functions like play/pause,next,previous,forward-rewind also how is the battery backup with continuous use. I am also thinking of buying this product. Also does it have a earphone audio out port?

Yes you can control music: start/stop, last/next, volume up/down.
No, there is no earphone port (use bluetooth headphones - who needs cables?)
I have found the watch controls music flawlessly, albeit not very conveniently in all honesty. Personally, I use the watch more to screen incoming messages and notifications. I don't try to do anything too fancy as it's easier to just use the phone.
On the subject of incompatibility with the TTS engines, there's no doubt this is an inconvenience, but not a great one. What happens is that the Note II (and I think other Android phones) starts talking to you when you don't want it to. For me, the biggy was it speaking out aloud "the folder is open..." (or "...closed") whenever I opened/closed a folder containing Apps. To say the least, it's distracting. If you disable the TTS engines (as I have done, undone, redone etc.) to fix the "folder is open..." issue (which fixes it for me, anyway) then you lose "DRIVING MODE" capability (which I rarely use) at least, and probably other speech apps too. The good news is that Navigation still works fine, even with the Samsung and Google TTS engines disabled. This is clearly not ideal, but only Google can fix it at the OS level, and they seem to be in no hurry at all.
I still think the Sony watch is a good product, as it allows me to receive and screen emails, RSS, tweets and to read them discreetly. It's much less distracting (and much less obvious, e.g. at meetings) than trying to read a phone.
I do still hope Samsung looks at this market though, as they will clean Sony's clock if they ever launch a similar product.

Heh. No it's very common. I know of two fixes: one is TEMPORARY, but does not require you to disable any apps; the other seems to PERMANENTLY fix the problem, but it results in disabling TTS apps. You have to figure out which of these two evils is the lessor:
Temp fix - go to setting-> applications and find the two TTS Aps (Google and Samsung). Clear the cache on both. It temporarily fixes the problem (on my Note II anyway). Bad news: it comes back, seems to be random. I have never figured out why, and now I don;t even try...
Permanent fix (the one I have today). Go to settings->apps and DISABLE said google and Samsung TTS engines. Problem goes away, but you may lose some important functionality (I haven't - Driving Mode is killed, but I don;t use it anyway). You can always re-enable these apps, by going to settings->apps, scrolling all the way to the bottom and re-enabling them. I have tried re-enabling, but this little bug comes right back after a random delay, so now, I just accept it.
Regards,
Andrew
PS - don't blame Samsung, blame google. This is their problem.
PPS - all SonyWatch notification apps seem to trigger this - on my Note II anyway. I tried 'em all.
Had to resurrect this thread, are you guys talking about the smart watch 2 or 1? I am thinking of buying smart watch 2 atm.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, if it's normal behavior and if there is a way to correct it.
When I get a phone call, I get the standard caller ID. When I take the call, it changes to the "add a note" card with the caller id image in the background. But when I hang up (from the phone) this card never goes away. If I'm in the office with the watch on the charger in my living room and take a call, I can go in there an hour or two later and that card is being displayed in full brightness in the charger. This is a bit fo a pain, especially if I'm sitting on the couch with the watch in the charger and take a call.
It seemed to me that when I first got the watch, this didn't happen; when I hung up the call, the display would go back to my watch face. I was hoping that once the Lollipop update came through (which seemed to take forever to come) it would go back to the original behavior but it hasn't.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is this by design? Is there anyway to either make it go away on call end or stop it from displaying at all?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
So nobody? I'm the only one in the world experiencing this?
Same here
I am also facing this issue and haven't found solution till date. At first I thought one if call recorder app is causing this , still no luck even after removing that app.

My ultimate solution was to buy the Huawei watch. I never could determine the cause which survived every fw upgrade. Between that and the miserable battery life, it was the right decision. The Huawei is better in every way for me and two months into it, I still haven't run the battery out once.

Are you sure it's your devices and not you? I find "Okay Google" to be awkward to pronounce, especially several times in a row, due to the "k" and double "g" combo. Wish we could change the hotword. I just touch the watch...find this to be easier and more reliable. Once I do that, I find the boice recognition to be surprisingly accurate, even with names, foreign-sounding places, etc. Does your watch recognize voice if you activate it by touch? If not, you may have a microphone problem. Also, if you have an accent or something, or a stutter, I'd try having someone else say it to see if it's the device or it's you. And also, make sure the watch is lit up first and out of ambient mode. I don't think it works when the watch is in low power mode. As for not working on the phone, I had that issue on the Note3 as well when using Nova Launcher, worked fine in TouchWiz. But I'm pretty sure the watch keyword detection is not dependant on the phone, since I can activate mine even when it's disconnected from my phone.
I'm having issues with my OK Google too. It's like my watch microphone isn't working. I can't do any voice dictation into the watch. It just says "Sorry didn't catch that" when I talk to it. It worked at one point and seems to work sporadically. Now it doesn't work at all.
Not sure for how long but I think it's something like 1 week that voice commands don't work any more for me.
They are opened as web searches instead.
eg. I used to say "OK Google, set a timer for 5 minutes" and the timer would start. Now it opens web link suggestion...
Same with most other voice commands that used to be really useful.
Anyone having same problem?
Hi!
I bought one sony sw3 3 days ago, and have the same problem...I say the voice comands and it always do the search... anyone solved this? In my note 2 the comands are working fine, like call someone, send a text...
In the watch it always makes the search sugestions.
Thanks
Greetings all,
I tried to find this issue before posting a new thread (I did find an old thread with no solutions to the issue but I didnt want to try to revive a dead thread from a year ago) so I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate and if so please link me to the existing thread.
I have an on going issue that ATT has been useless with so I am reaching out to the XDA community now in hopes that I do not need to start using my phone as a door stop.
I have done a ton of research on this issue and it seem that it is software related but the few fixes that I have tried have not helped at all.
The issue is when I am talking on the phone the "mic" will cut out and sometimes so will the speaker. I can be talking just fine with no issues and then the person I am speaking with says its like I hung up. Some times I can hear the person fine but they can not hear me and other times it truly seems as if the phone was hung up. Some times the issue lasts 5 seconds other times its upwards of a minute. I am on my second phone, att was nice enough to replace it once but the issue persists on the new one as well. The issue occurs on the handset as well as bluetooth. Every so often I luck out and have no issues with a call (normally under 3 minutes) but typically when I use my phone as an actual phone the calls are longer than 10. The issue also occurs when speaker is turned on as well with the phone sitting next to me on a table so I do not think it has to do with any form of auto mute (like the old thread I found mentioned).
One of the things that I had found was to make a call with skype and it magically fixes it. Well sadly to say it I have tried that multiple times and it still did not fix it. I have tried running my phone just stock and the issue still occurs so i do not think its an issue with what is installed (mostly just google apps for work and a few games).
If any one has any ideas please let me know. At this point I am willing to try almost anything. Thanks
Turn off Enhanced LTE (HD Voice).I just had an AT&T rep confirm that this is their networknetwork problem. Apparently, HD Voice (VOLTE) isn't quite right, and the bugs are numerous. Turn it off, should fix these issues and maybe more.

I just reset my note 4 to stock last night. I just checked and Enhanced LTE is off and I am still having the same issues that others are reporting and just terrible signal strength in general. If I am indoors anywhere I am lucky to have 2 bars and then half the time calls don't go through. I am headed to the ATT store now to see what they say. I am on next and could upgrade but looking at the list of available phones from ATT I don't know if anything is really going to be better. I don't want to shell out the cash for a nexus 6p but I may end up doing it.
Turning off enhanced seemed to help but I still encounter the issue from time to tine. I'm just counting down the days till my 6p shows up...

I don't know exactly what I did that made this start happening, but right now every time a toast message pops up it stays on the screen for over 10 seconds. If there are other messages queued up then it will display all of them one after another each for over 10 seconds. I did a Google search and could not find a solution. Has this happened to anyone else?
I've tried everything short of a factory reset. I rebooted and safe mode and it still happens. I reset all of the application preferences, as far as permissions and that sort of thing goes, that fixed a few issues I've been experiencing but the toast problem persists.
Is this a bug? is there a solution? Can you adjust the timeout for toast messages? Are there any third party apps that change this setting on an unrooted phone that I unwittingly may have used?
Will I be forced to do a full factory reset to fix this problem? It's really annoying, haha!
thanks in advance for any help
I did everything including a factory reset and those toast messages still did the same thing, so I am thinking it definitely is an OS system upgrade problem!!! It is so annoying !!

I still don't understand if this happens on everybody's Pixel 3 or if it's just ours. if it's just a few people then there has to be a common thing that caused it to start doing this. I haven't thought about it too much but my first suspicion was SystemUITuner. did you by chance install that and change anything using it?
I can't think of anything else that I have had to enable permissions with ADB for on here that would have messed with the display settings.
I've been rooting every phone I owned since cupcake. usually owning more than one at a time because well that just makes your power level go up exponentially ... through carelessness and not reading what I needed to before purchasing my Verizon Pixel 3 XL, This is the first phone I've had in my life for more than a month or so that was a daily driver without root.
my point is, I really can't think of a reason why the timeout for all toast messages system wide would suddenly change to be 30 seconds long instead of three. I would have bet on it that that is something that you need root to alter. ??*

looking at Google's past release schedule and also starting to hear rumors about Android 11 (they did put a system image up on Google's page but you cannot install it without an unlocked bootloader), we should start hearing official announcements about it soon, with beta1 probably end of April beginning of May.
Even if there are a few not annoying bugs I think it would be worth the upgrade to get rid of these toast messages covering all kinds of stuff that I need to be reading NOW! not in (in the case of three or four toasted pop-up great after each other) 2 minutes later when I've already Ben distracted and can't remember what I was wanting to be able to tap on that was under the eternal-1 toast message timeout.
it's very interesting to me that if you Google this problem there's maybe one or two results. I'm very curious what we are doing to cause this issue. if you or anyone from the future is reading this and knows This information please leave a little response or just post a link it, so maybe I can die happy having finally solved this riddle

I stumbled upon this after googling the same issue.
I'm not sure if we had the same issue, but I just noticed that it was the "Time to take action (Accessibility timeout)" option, under Settings > Accessibility that made my toasts be long than 3 seconds.
Although it should be on "Default" by default (duh), so if you didn't change this, it must be something else.
Just thought I'd mention it.

Just an FYI, coming from AT&T prepaid 6 years during the covid party the depth AT&T is it has taken me 9 months to move to postpay. It is a corporation a complete morons above customer support. All my problems are met with an upsell attempt and I have bit once or twice in return I was kindly bitten all this to say that they put a Motorola one 5G Ace 64 4G ram in my hand and I have the same issue except might hang for 20 to 45 seconds it seems like 90 seconds! May well be. Obviously they're not translucent but the desktop or any operation underneath it will take a finger command if you know where the hell to push. I did not get it from Amazon but I was looking to upgrade to the 128 prior and post this phone and one of the main salesman there with Motorola America which of course is not a Motorola product it's just a Motorola name. The ruination of a long-standing pioneer groundbreaking company! and he wanted to know more information from me and wants me to become a free paid intern or some crap and help them figure out what's going on so there you go? I am sure I am not the only one and just as sure as I am of that, I am sure that the people that make them and sell them and talk about them all day to potential customers or two customers have no freaking idea what their products do.!!

i dunno how leaving a toast message on top of the buttons you need TO take action helps but that is what caused, likely, or at least what corrected the issue for me.

I can't find this accesability option on my note 10 + g975fd bubi know it was some kind of setting somewhere because I remember turning it on trying to see some message it waS throwing while I was setting up some Tasker task. Which makes me think it might have been turned on by option for a tasker action but I'll be damned if I can find it again. It's actually nice most of the time but lately it's been really annoying to me because it shows over the keyboard and most of the time an OK or cancel prompt. And like previously mentioned if there are ten of them its quite a long time to wait. And I also turned something on that does a toast every time an intent is launched so you can see how this has multiplied the issue. I think it's one of those situations like (in Tasker you can say launch so n so app, one of the potions is to make the app launch a new instance and another is to have the app not appear in recents. That's all fine gravy for that instance but nobody anywhere ever says that from now on any time you launch that app that it will launch a new instance and it won't appear in recents) whether it's in Tasker or from the Launcher or if you just switch to another app and back. It quickly becomes an issue when you are trying to enter passwords or watch Netflix and do something else real quick. And if you don't put 2 together with 2 because you didn't notice right a way it can be a brain bender trying to figure the little problem out. I'm thinking that's what I have done is set some obscure option for God knows what experimental task and now its stuck that way. But it's really not something I want to bother joã (Tasker de"sorry for spelling") with and he may not know anyway. But thanks for the thread and any other suggestions would be appreciated.
