Phone Paired With SmartWatch and Car Issues
Posted: 09 Jan 2017 21:05
I have an Android Marshmallow phone, a car with bluetooth and a Samsung Gear S3 smart watch that is paired to my phone via Bluetooth.
Here is my issue:
When my watch is paired to my phone, my phone will connect to my car for Media Audio but not for Phone Audio as my watch is connected for Phone Audio and this seems to be given priority for phone audio.
If within the standard Bluetooth settings on my phone I unselect Phone Audio for my smart watch so that it is not used for this purpose then my phone will connect to my car for Phone Audio perfectly. However if I then get out of my car and want to use the microphone and speaker in my watch to make or answer a call I can’t as I have unselected Phone Audio to enable my car to work with phone audio.
I would like to automate my phone to have priority with my car for phone audio when I am in the car and also wearing my watch, however be able to use phone audio and reconnect with my watch when my phone disconnects from the car.
I have bought and tried this with Automagic but could not get this to work. I set up two simple flows. The first to disconnect from the smartwatch when connected to the car and the second to connect to the smartwatch when disconnected from the car but neither worked.
Some help with the correct flows for this would be appreciated.
