Hi Guys,
I want to turn off phone audio on my watch so that it and my Sena Bluetooth don't argue with each other - pairing "through" the watch doesn't resolve it either. Problem is, if I turn off Phone Audio in Bluetooth settings on my S5, it disconnects the watch entirely. Any way to turn off phone audio and still keep notifications and apps connection?
Thanks!
Have you tried the notification settings in gear manager. Or gear turning them off. Limiting . Relaying etc
I don't have any conflict with my Gear 2 and Plantronics Voyager Pro. Whichever one I initiate or answer a call with doesn't affect the other. Did you happen to pair your headset with your watch? If so, that might be the problem. Mine are only paired to my phone.
Thanks guys!
I stumbled across the answer. It turns out that I had to remove the pairing with my Sena and then repair (after the watch). The Sena appears to now have full phone audio.

I have a bluetooth headset for calls and music, and previously I used to pair it to the phone. Now I cannot do that because the Gear 2 needs to phone pairing, so I have paired the headset as media to the phone and then paired the headset to the watch.
However, when the call comes in, it doesn't direct it to the headset... does anyone know if this is possible?
My Gear 2 is connected to phone audio and my head set is connected to phone and media audio. When a call comes in is answered with the phone is goes to my bluetooth headset. If answered with the gear 2 i can push the bluetooth symbol that shows on the watch and it transfers to my bluetooth headset. This is with a Note 3 stock.

I am using GPE, so non Samsung TW. If I try and pair my headset to Phone and Media, the Gear 2 disconnects from bluetooth
There is an option to pair the headset to the watch, but that doesn't seem to do anything either
/Edit: I have the LG Tone HBS-730 if that helps and the S4.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Basically when you get in your car and the car connects to your phone for phone calls and media, does the gear s2 stay connected? Also, how does calls work? Obviously you want the call to go through the car, but does it do it because the s2 has a speaker. I know the huawei watch has this issue. Can anyone comment on this?
Everything works like it should. You'll get notifications and calls, etc. on your phone, watch, and car stereo. I use it every day without issue.

Will the car take the phone call over the watch? Also the issue with the huawei was that since the watch connected to the phone as "media" it wouldn't connect to the car for phone calls and media streaming.

Your phone should connect to multiple Bluetooth devices. And like I said, yes, it does work fine. Calls and texts and whatever will buzz all devices connected to the phone. You can choose which to answer on.

Ok thanks. So with both the watch and car connected to the phone, the car takes priority in pushing phone calls through the car and not the watches speaker, and able to stream music from your phone to the car and not the watches speaker? All while still receiving notifications on the watch? Sorry, just issues I had with the huawei watch.
You got it. I use mine daily with my pioneer hu. When all three are paired, the radio takes call priority. While streaming music through the radio, the radio will switch to phone call with caller ID, the watch will notify and the phone all seamlessly together. Answering the call comes through the radio unless I hit private on the display then it switches to phone. When I get a text, my radio displays "new message received" and the watch actually shows the message like it was the only thing paired.

Hello,
I am having an issue with BT connection- I do not want take calls via BT on the watch but I still want to receive notifications (via BT). I connect to BT normally, and I go to settings, BT, and unselect "call audio" because I have a headset I use, but the watch disconnects completely from BT and the watch is now in standalone mode and does not receive notifications. So, how can I be connected to BT but NOT take calls on the watch? Any ideas?
I have my watch and my plantronics bluetooth paired to my S7 and what I do is when I get a call is see who calls me on the watch then I answer it with the my bluetooth. Only thing that kind of suck is when I have call waiting and it doesn't show on the watch.
Does it ever show call waiting if you're connected via bluetooth?
It doesn't show on the watch but you will hear a beep tone on the Bluetooth headset. Well at least on my Bluetooth it does.
CAn you connect the watch over wifi to the phone? Tot est, turn off bluetooth on the watch and see if it will connect via wifi - this might solve the issue
As a new S3 classic owner, after coming from a Moto 360, I have a ton of questions. Probably the most important one is this:
I'm used to using the watch to say "call {john smith}", and have the phone place the call. BUT, is there a way to NOT route the call audio through the watch speaker? I wear hearing aids that are also bluetooth headsets and that's where I'd like to route the audio unless I'm driving, in that case use the car. I have a S7 edge and while there are settings for my headset and car for call and media audio, there is not for the gear s3. Is there an setting somewhere to allow me to place calls with the watch and have the call audio routed to my headset (or car)?
Or is the answer to return it and get an android wear watch? I'm still within the 14 day window at best buy. I like the hardware features of this watch, but Tizen is making me a little crazy because I'm so used to the ease of android.
Thanks for any information.

Maybe Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > BT Headset?

The key in my OP is that there are settings for the headset and car in bluetooth connections for call and media audio, but the only choice under the gear s3 in bluetooth is to disconnect, which disconnects everything. That means I CAN"T say 'call {whoever}' and have my phone make a call.
My setup: Gear S3 Frontier [connected to] Galaxy S7 [connected to] vehicle.
The Bluetooth audio going from the S7 to the vehicle will crackle when my Gear S3 Frontier is also connected to the S7. When enabling airplane mode on the Gear S3, I will immediately hear the audio quality get better and the crackling stops.
Is the issue with the way the S7 is handling multiple Bluetooth connections? Or is there some sort of interference with the vehicle?
Same issue here with S8+ and Gear S3 Classic.
Multiple cars and same issue. Airplane mode quickly resolves it, but I would like to figure a way to not turn my watch off this frequently.
I don't have any Bluetooth headphones, but that may be a good step to further identifying the root cause of the problem. I haven't ever heard the crackling from my Bluetooth speakers so at this point I think its related to vehicular Bluetooth systems. My Bluetooth speakers aren't that great though so i may just be missing it.

I just tested a song with this little Bluetooth adapter that I have (http://gadgetunit.com/2017/03/29/mini-bluetooth-audio-receiver-for-3-5mm-audio-devices-video-review/) and indeed noticed the crackling. The song I used was "Seasons" by "The Veer Union" as the first 30~ seconds has very noticeable crackling. The moment my watch enters airplane mode, the crackling stops and the fidelity improves.
I'm leaning towards the phone that's being the culprit. What I might do is test watch + car connectivity with a few other devices I have around (Galaxy J7 on Android 7.1, Idol 4S on Windows 10 Mobile (not wanting to test features, but just need the phone to connect to the watch and a vehicle / speaker / headphone)).
