Is anybody else having trouble using Ok Google for sending texts? It recognizes the recipient alright but stops dictation way too early, even if I pause just for a second. Then it doesn't seem possible to resume dictation. Does anybody know how to get around this? (Android 5.1.1)

ask to send a message, then wait for it to prompt for who, and after that wait for a prompt for what you want it to say.

I use that function while on my motorcycle through my helmet a bunch, and breaking it up like that allows me to confirm/deny each step because often the wind noise makes it impossible to hear what i said.

I find that sometimes, after the "OK Google, send a text to $PERSON" my watch will ask whether it should be to their mobile, work or home landline. A way to set it to only send text messages to mobiles would make sense but I can't find any way of doing that.

You probably need to go to Contacts and long-press on the proper number, and use "set as default" (or something similar) option.

I have in fact set it as default, but the watch still likes to ask "which number".

I don't use it to send messages, but the few times I tried to set a reminder with it in the past couple of months, it failed miserably, stopping dictation too early or simply ignoring the command entirely. On a Moto G (3rd gen), Android 6.0
