New Update but no phone features - Asus ZenWatch 2

I reset and forgot the device on my iPhone 6s+ and I don't have the bluetooth option on my watch and i don't have the ability to make calls. Is there another version of the Zenwatch2 that perhaps i have an older model that doesnt have the new features even with the unlocking of a lot of the new features?

Open the phone app on your watch and it will ask you to enable Bluetooth phone audio.
You can also go into bluetooth settings on your watch and you have the option there to "Play phone audio on watch"

Android vs. Apple watch

Has anyone found Android software that would allow same type of call taking feature on the watch using it's mic and speaker as Apple Watch demonstrate? I have tried Unova+ factory software with Android phone software side, Swapp Link and none of them have a function where you can fully answer calls on your watch without taking phone out of your pocket and no BT headset connected to the phone.
I think RetroRom has this feature.

Anyone else with known software that allow to take a call on your wrist using smart watch speaker and mic? I have searched to no end and so far no go to use watch paired with your phone with ability to do what apple watch has. Sure there is software that let you answer but you still need to use your phone to talk or paired BT headset connected to your phone - watch can't do the job.
Please provide guidance if you know more about this critical functional add-on to make a full use of watch with the phone
Thanks
Sorry, it's called RetroSmart Rom. It has this feature.

Can't Make or Take Calls

I updated and paired with my Xperia-z3V, and was extremely pleased that I could call with it.
I unpaired and paired with my other Xperia z3v and calls wouldn't go through the watch speaker. It simply dials through the phone itself.
To unpair you have to factory reset. The 2ND phone has all the same apps of the other one.
I powered everything down, powered back up, did the factory reset again, still not ankle to make and take calls with the watch.
Wondering if this isn't a simple fix I'm overlooking. Any help is appreciated.
Open the Phone app on the watch itself and grant permission to make phone calls.
Every permission is granted. Power cycling, even another reset. Still the same. Acts like it did before the update. I can dial with it, but my phone comes on and all sound goes through it. The speaker works when I set the sound on the watch settings. Very frustrating.
Use the phone app on the watch to initiate the call.

Yes, of course I am.
This seems to be a Bluetooth issue. I repaired it to my other phone and it works, but I can't find any settings on the phones that are different.
What makes me think it's a Bluetooth issue is that, while paired to the second phone, when I try to call from the watch, the outgoing call screen pops up on the phone and the "Speaker" option flickers between speaker and Bluetooth device for a second. It always reverts to the phone, but just to the regular phone ear speaker.
It's actually paired and functioning properly with my work phone, which is what I need it for. But it's just frustrating not understanding what's wrong.
On the watch... go to settings/Bluetooth and toggle on 'play phone audio on watch'.

Yes, this is checked on both Sony Xperia Z3v phones. Now Nisbet phone works properly to make and take calls. It'll do the command, but voice still defaults to the phone. Often when I receive a call I'll simply grab the phone and answer, but the watch will continue to ring.
Look on your phone side (Xperia z3v), go into your settings and then Bluetooth. This should list all devices paired with your phone. Look at the entry for your Asus Zenwatch. Does it show connected for call audio? Compare what the Bluetooth settings say on your working z3v verses the on that doesn't work. Good luck.
I'm having the same problem. In the bluetooth settings of my iphone 6splus it shows Asus Zenwatch 2 connected when I click it just has option to forget device nothing else.
Having the same problem. Watch's only bluetooth option in settings is scan for nearby devices (which finds none) or unpair device. On the phone's side (Nexus 6P) in my BT settings, it only shows "use for contact sharing." Watch doesn't tell me there's a phone call. Pretty useless IMO. I'm a week over returning it too
Hi guys, Does anybody know why I got a message "unfortunately message+ has stopped" while trying to setup calling feature. Any ideas?

I found another bluetooth device that had "Call Audio - on". I selected "off" on this device and "on" for the Zenwatch2 and now I get audio on watch and can make and receive calls thru the watch.
Still no success. Anybody found a solution?

I previously had a Zenwatch 1 and now a 2. Trying to make and take calls. I did all above but still could not get the watch to make calls. It just make the call on the phone. Anybody found a solution. "Phone Audio" is enabled in Bluetooth settings and Phone Audio enabled in watch too.

EDIT: NVM, not it worked, i check everything in the settings of BT and everything was ok, i unticked and tick to see, and did a restart. Tried a few attempts to make a call from the watch and nothing, switch the sound off and on, and now is working thru the speaker of the watch with the option of phone in the watch. I just hope for google to implement a button to switch from the watch speaker to the headphones or wireless headsets

Marshmallow Notification (phone) settings

Hello,
I'm using the Xperia Concept marshmallow rom on my Z3 and I'm confused about the new notifications settings, especially those concerning phone calls.
To be clear, I use my phone as a music player in my car using an Aux cable. I need my phone to stop the music whenever I get a phone call so I can answer since I'm not looking at it while driving. Whenever I get a phone call it used to be in the new "peek" function and doesn't interrupt my music. However I changed this setting and also put the phone app notification settings as priority, now the incoming phone full screen is back but still doesn't interrupt the music.
Any ideas? I know it should be simple, am I missing something?

Car use Android Phone Ringtone ?

Hi
I'd like my phones ringtones to play out via my car..
My car supports 'Phone Ringtone' Mode :
“Phone ringtone”
You can activate or deactivate for an incoming call to phone ringtone. If your
phone is on silent mode, the ringtone transfer function is not available.
Note: Your phone may not have the ringtone transfer function.
I've enabled this but I still get the cars default tone.
Is there anything I can do, configuration or buying an app that will allow this to work ?
My phone is a Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1
Thanks

Bluetooth problems with Samsung Watch Music

Hello
Can't find any solutions for couple of days
A lot of Samsung Watches doesn't manage music properly with Nokia 6,7,8 etc
Maybe someone can help or know something usefull?
I have
Samsung Galaxy Watch
Nokia 8.1
Android 10
I can answer calls and talk via watches
But there is music app in watch to control music . It can show playlist or album cover but can't pause, select - control audio.
There is a text: connect to phone, but it can't - just write connecting and Couldn't connect after.
So maybe there is some bluetooth or security settings to change, seems to be nokia software problem, not hardware
Thanks a lot
