I'm having a problem with my samsung 7.7 tablet. On the whole I'm happy with it, however incoming calls are simply not registering. I have spoken to my telephone company, O2 and they tell me they have prioritised the tablet, along with my mobile call to receive calls. I don't think the problem can be solved by O2. In the pop-up window, bottom right hand corner the sound symbol remains grey, vibrate and mute both light up green, which tells me these states are active, but the sound will not activate. I do have sound on the tablet, e.g. if an email comes in.
I can make outgoing calls, but no incoming calls come through. They are coming through to my other mobile.
The tablet is not rooted. It is running on ice cream sandwich , Android version 4.0.4.
I have tried a factory reset, but this has not solved the problem. When I bought the tablet incoming calls worked. I don't know what caused them to stop.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Does our HTC One Mini support the Bluetooth MAP Protocol so that car stereos can read incoming texts? Android 4.4 (KitKat) supposedly has this feature built in, but it doesn't seem to work with mine - even after upgrading to Tr1gg3r's Stock KitKat ROM. Anyone else even see it as an option in their Bluetooth settings?
Never mind - HTC responded promptly to my inquiry. It does have the MAP protocol. It just doesn't seem to work with any device I've ever owned! *confused*
Anyone here ever got their car stereo to read incoming text messages?

I recently rented a 13 Toyota Camry and it had the hands-free setup and it would read text messages and read the incoming emails as well!!! I have a Jeep Compass and it will doesn't read text or email messages but I am checking if the Jeep system would do that... But the HTC mini one apparently do that and I am running the Andriod 4.2.2 and I am updating to 4.4.4...
Hi, I bought Nokia Lumia 1020 last year (2014) which ran out of warranty now. Recently I started facing the problem with my calls. For every incoming/outgoing call, I can hear the recipients voice but the recipient cant hear me. Other person can hear me only when I am in speaker mode or using the headphones. Always we may not carry headphones and lifting calls even for emergency in speaker mode while at office is very inconvenient. I don't want to change Nokia as I Love it for its other features like look & feel, camera etc.
1. I did power and volume reset - No change.
2. Tried taking calls by changing the direction of the phone, removed cover etc - did everything that I read in other posts. Nothing worked.
I want to get this problem fixed, without changing the phone, what do you reckon?
The warranty is 2 year.
Thanks for the information. I thought warranty is for 1 yr only. I will try to get it exchanged.
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.
So this is a weird situation. My wife and I both have a Galaxy S20 and go through T-Moblie. Just recently, my wife's phones starts to ring as if she is making a call on speakerphone but she wasn't even touching her phone.
After 3 or 4 rings, it clicks and stops. We've checked her call log and there is no record of an outgoing call.
We've restarted the phone. We've checked various app and settings but honestly have no idea what we're even looking for.
When we first got our phones, we notice that they don't make a notification sound for texts unless we set an individual ring tone per contact.
However, we've had these phones for 4 or so years and this just started less than a month ago. As far as my wife recalls, she hasn't had an update and one isn't available. Her last update was May 24, 2023.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
