I have experienced a few occasions where I have been on a call in Android Auto. When switching off the car the call does not transfer to the phone as I would expect but I suddenly find I'm talking to my wrist. Is there a way to prevent this happening? (I rather liked the Galaxy Watch Active I had before since it had no speaker. There was no possible combination of settings and stupidity that could cause it to make a sound!)
Well I certainly don't get the choice when it happens although I am hoping there is a setting somewhere to prevent it. I just had a similar issue when I started a call with a headset plugged in (yes the Zenfone has a 3.5mm socket). I unplugged it hoping to go to speakerphone (I was talking to TV licensing and they needed to speak to my 91-year old mother-in-law) and instead it just transferred to the watch! I don't understand why it didn't continue on the phone! So I ended up holding a watch to the hearing aids of my confused mother-in-law...
In my view it should never transfer to the watch unless you call or answer from the watch to start with.
(Sorry it took a while to respond - I didn't get a notification)
During a call, you could choose the output, whether to the phone internal speaker, speaker phone or bluetooth output, in this case your watch. These choices are always available in the call menu.
