Hey Guys,
I have an issue with my Fuze and am hoping there is a simple setting that may help me out.
I have an Xlink Bluetooth gateway in my home, and have a Jag XK with bluetooth. Previously I had an 8525 where the bluetooth worked well.
I got the Fuze and I thought all was well. But for the last week, when I get an incoming call the blue tooth rings (houseline on XLink or XK Radio), but when I connect the call I get dead silence.
I can make outgoing calls via bluetooth and both devices work fine.
On the Fuze, if when ringing i hit answer on the phone, rather than the car stereo occassionally it connects.
Since I have the same issues (silent connection) when connecting via Xlink or XK I figured it must be an issue with the phone.
Any thoughts or ideas ?
Thanks
Dave
The issue is with Voice Command not with phone. If you update Voice Command to 1.6.19209 it will fix your issue. The other option is to turn off Announce incoming Calls option.
Update Voice Command
The phone has version 1.6.19971 --- So that would be a downgrade not an upgrade....
Does that still make sense ?
Dave
You've tested that specific version and it works? NATF said he tried his version from his Tilt and it didn't work. Please confirm!
Nice work!
You guys are really on it! I started noticing this problem today after enabling 'announce incoming calls' yesterday... didn't even occur to me. So I disabled it as per your suggestion, and it's working fine. Thanks very much for that. If I wanted to roll back to that earlier version, where could I find it? I still have my Tilt which I upgraded to 6.1 (battery's probably dead)... could I get the .cab off of it? Do we know for certain the earlier version works? Thanks again.
We were on it for a long time. You'll see multiple posts about that.
Hi i am trying to send files from my nokia to the htc fuze but apparently i am not been able to send the files
can i someone advice how come i can unlock this feature for bluetooth so that i can transfer files between one cell phone to my htc fuze via bluetooth
well no one can help me huh!
---delete---
Start by going into each phones settings->bluetooth settings-> make this device visible to other devices. sometimes you can set up a password for the connection, just make it 0000 or something quick, then just connect them and start sharing
i did all that but still i m not been able to send files from and to my cell phone

make sure the nokia is also setup and your not overlooking something there.
also try start->settings->connections->Beam and check receive all incoming beams.
Hello,
I just faced an issue and hope one of you can point me somewhere to fix this.
I have an active sync server connection setup. When I now download a mail attachment and my mobile is called the phone does not ring at all. The call is diverted directly to voicemail.
I tested the same with other phones (Treo Pro (WM6.1) and Nokia deives (symbian)). All using the same operator and same SIM card.
Using the Palm I was able to get 8 out of 10 calls on the phone and was able to pick them up, using a Nokia 10 out opf 10 came to the mobile, so no call loss at all.
Using Raphael I get none out of 10, which is not that nice.
Do you have a Reg-Key or something else I can use to get this issue fixed?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Jan
Mhhh.... It seems that no one else has this issue....
Any idea how to modify the priority on the GSM interface, so that the device stops data transfers when a call is presented????
Thanks for any help!!!
Ive got the problem right the other way, i tired to download some 200mb file and Opera canceled the download a few times because of some incoming calls.
I don't know some option to change this behavior...
The option to change that setting is in Settings/Phone/Services/DDTM Mode then turn that option on or off. Hope that helps a bit.
I just noticed my watch will not receive phone calls when it is connected to the phone through wifi. For example, when my phone is out of Bluetooth range, but still connected through Wifi, I can receive notifications, as well as receive and reply to texts, but calls are not forwarded.
I have the wifi only version of the Gear S3. Not the LTE version.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you have a non samsung phone? If you do then i think thats why because the call forwarding out of bluetooth range works a little different on samsung phones vs non samsung phones.
I do not think that non LTE S3s can receive calls on WiFi. They only pair via Bluetooth for calls. Data is ok for WiFi, but there was no mention for WiFi calling that I'm aware of. That is why the LTE models do standalone mode via cell network.

It should be able to. It says it on the website it need a phone app for calls to work on the non-lte version. My guess is an update will fix that.
Have you turned on Remote Connection in the Gear app on your phone?
Settings>Gear Connection>Remote Connection

Yes, that's on by default.
The picture says requires WiFi and a voice call app. That means some third party app' but not your telephone operator's and voice line from them. At least this is how I would interpret that.

Any update on this, im curious can you receive calls when you are within the bluetooth and wifi range? I asked about the voice call app and never got an answer back. What is this app and where do you download it from?
There's no voice app yet that runs on WiFi and has VOIP functionality, afaik.

But can you make calls if you are connected via Bluetooth at least?

Yes, that part works.
great thanks for confirmation
It would however great if there is at least an option for sending a "missed call" message.
So no bluetooth, because you left the phone in the house a few rooms too far away, but still trigger on the s3.
And also for other messages. I do not seem to get them either.
Tested with just bluetooth switched of on the phone.
When I use the messaging app on the watch I can read them via wifi.

On old Gear S, after BT disconnect, the watch is connected with the phone via Samsung account.
Because there is a sim involved, the Gear app redirect the calls to the watch number but all the notifications, SMS, WhatsUp, etc are relayed to the watch via Samsung account.
This is the part I don't understand in S3 .. if the phone and watch are connected via wifi, why the notifications are missing?
Fine, there is no voice even if they advertised something about a voice app which does not exist, but notifications?
I think i know why the voice call app is not released. This watch has a horrible wifi connectivity issue. I found this bug out and reported it to Samsung developer forum hoping for a fix. While the watch does report "Connected" all the time when you are connected via wifi.
I setup a few tests a foot away from my router without any other devices on the 2.4GHz network to saturate it. I noticed there was constant timeouts, this explained why trying to use the Gear Watch Designer to load a new watch face took so many retries. Sure enough the Wifi connection is anything but stable and worthless if you ask me with the constant timeouts.
A small app that only sends a "missed call" message via Wifi would already be mothers little helper.

BTW I understood that Bluetooth 5 has a far larger range?

Think of bluetooth as a euphemism for "connected at the hip". Whether its a keyboard, headset, stylus, watch, or other gadget, if it works via bluetooth it's only designed to operate within a few feet of the mothership. If you don't want to carry your phone on you everywhere, get the LTE version of the watch.

hummmmm...always a problem somewhere with this watch : or it doesn't work if non stock roms, or does'nt want to connect to samsung account using wifi (but the samsung account says it is !)....a little bit tired about that !!! even if i looove this watch !
I have 2 different WiFi routers. I connected my watch h to one and my phone to the other. I also turned off Bluetooth.
I used a different phone to make a call to my phone, it did not ring but i received a missed call notification on the watch , I could receive sms and whatsapp messages and can reply to them.
The only thing I couldn't do was make and receive a phone call from the watch.
Some question I wish to know as I'm planning to buy Gear S3 Frontier in the future.
For example, I'm using Huawei Mate 9.
1. I'm confused in people saying making call and receiving SMS don't work, and some say work, exactly which one is true? Is it that you can accept call but can't start call from the watch?
2. Any one that uses What's App, Wechat, Hangout, specially Facebook Messenger etc, are you able to do reply to these apps(like in notification area)? Like not only the quick message, to be able to type manually on watch and reply (Voice or Keyboard)?
3.In relation to question 2, how well it work with remote connection?
Thanks.
I have a Pixel and a Pixel XL. I can initiate and answer calls fine on my non-LTE S3. I can start and respond to messages as well. I haven't tried the other apps you mentioned.
I'm on a htc 10, lineage OS and I'm unable to initiate calls or send SMS with s voice
I have HTC ONE M8, answer to both of your questions is yes it's working fine, connected via Bluetooth, phone calls sms replying as well as initiate call or sms. WhatsApp and other can receive and reply but cannot initiate new message.
(Didn't tested when connected to same WiFi network.)

Ah that's good to know. As for what's app or facebook messenger. Reply is all I need. Hardly initiate message on watch.
Thanks guys. Good to know it's working well with other phone.
Two more things I wish to know.
1. If I accepted a call with watch, can I redirect it to phone directly on watch or I have to manually go to phone and choose to not use Bluetooth in that caller screen?
2. If I have a Bluetooth headset connected to my phone for example. I answer call using watch but can the call go through headset instead? What if i accepted the call using the Bluetooth headset button instead of watch. Will the audio re route properly?
Thanks

I am using Xperia Z5 initiate calls works fine from watch by finding contact and tapping phone icon on watch, using s-voice its very hit and miss. Can initiate texts from watch by going to contact and tapping the envelope button, initiating texts with s-voice requires samsung phone ('send text message to xxxx' gives 'sms service is unavailable) can reply to texts, etc but only while notification is present, after notification cleared have to start from scratch. Its all pretty poor overall tbh.

Can't help enough as not tested in detail.
In Bluetooth settings headset gives both options for phone audio and music
But watch gives only phone audio (so music sound can't come from watch, only music control possible)
And
If I select phone and music both for Bluetooth headset, then watch disconnect by itself as it wants phone audio.

Btw. When you set the reminder, are you able to set for example. Today February 1. And I wish to remind myself to buy something on February 3. Can I do that? I hear it's strictly within the day only.
How many languages to the watch support tho? Does it support Japanese by any chance?
Does it have auto brightness?
I can say now that I went back to full stock rom, everything is working fine now. I can make and answer calls. I wished someone had told me earlier. I been calling Samsung support for days and they havent been anymore useful then the manual, telling me I needed the lte model to answer calls
On my mate 9, I can Not make a call through the watch neither reply to message text... Things I was able to do with my S6.
Probably due to emui and his special dialer.
But I can read SMS and email anyway

Oh Dang. The inability to make a call due to mate 9 might be deal breaker. Are you able to view incoming caller name/number and accept call? Had you try third party dailer to see if it work? Since you have mate 9 and gear s3. Are the reply options from notification work? Like manually type or hand writing reply incoming What's app, hangout and Facebook messenger. And also, do the music player remote control work with stock music player? Do it display the current track playing properly?
Thanks
Just to be clear, there are two versions of the Frontier, one has an LTE radio. The LTE model is able to handle calls, texts, and run apps like Spotify without being connected to a phone. The BT model must be tethered to a phone in order to do these functions. Both models need to be connected (via BT or cellular) to a phone in order for notifications (ie. Hangouts, email) to pass through.

I know this question was from weeks ago but as I also have a S3 with a Mate 9, maybe I can help a little bit:
Everything works, including getting all notifications and asnwering them from the watch, and making and receiving calls in the watch. I have the S3 BT only model. My Mate 9 is with stock rom. Samsung Gear Manager working perfectly.
I have just one issue: sometimes, when I make a call using the phone, the call is automatically routed to the watch, without my permission, and it seems there is not any configuration or parameter to force all calls to not be routed to the watch. Of course it is easy to bring the call back to the phone (using the BT button in the dial), but as I initiated the call from the phone, it should not be redirected to the watch at the beginning. And this is something that happens eventually, not allways. It seems to be some kind of bug. I read about the same issue in other threads (S3 with other non-Samsung phones) here in XDA but could not find a definitive solution yet. If somebody can help on this, I would appreciate.

I'm using a Pixel XL as well and I'm planning to buy one. What limitations do you encounter when pair to the Pixel? Samsung Pay is also one of my reasons to buy this. Is it fully functional?
UPDATE:
Samsung Pay fully functional. But there are limitations if you use Gear S3 with non Samsung phone and BT headset (mine is Level U Pro ANC).
1. Call profile could only be activated either on the watch or level u pro, but not both simultaneously. If you choose to keep call profile on BT headset, you can use the headset for calling, but you cannot initiate call or answer call from watch. If you choose to keep call profile on watch, you cannot use BT headset for calling. That's also the case with car BT.
2. You can receive and reply to SMS on watch. But initiating SMS is a different story. No built in SMS so on watch so you can use watchface with messages shortcut to initiate sms, BUT all sms you initiate thru the watch WILL NOT REFLECT on the sms thread on the phone itself (Android Messages).
3. You cannot see your SMS history as well.
