It says “Open KeyUp so you can talk”
Android only lets KeyUp use the microphone in some situations. Open KeyUp once and talk again.
What it is
Android protects your microphone: an app in the background may only start it in certain cases, like when you turn the crown with KeyUp crown talk on, or tap a KeyUp notification. When Android says no, KeyUp doesn’t send silence. It buzzes twice and the KeyUp notification says Open KeyUp so you can talk.
When to use it
Use this if you pressed talk (or KeyUp tried to turn your open mic back on) and got two buzzes and this message.
How to do it
-
Open KeyUp on that device (tap the notification, or the KeyUp icon). The message goes away.
-
Talk again. With KeyUp on screen, Android always allows the mic.
-
On a watch, turn on screen-off crown talk so the crown can start the mic with the screen off. See Turn on screen-off crown talk.
