Question on connectivity - Samsung Gear S2

I'm looking at taking the dive and getting this watch but before I do I have a question. At work I listen to music of my phone on a bluetooth speaker. Will the watch and speaker connect to my phone at the same time. I would like to monitor my notifications with out taking my phone all over my shop.

It works for me. I have the S2 3G with a Note 4 and several different Bluetooth speakers that I listen to almost daily. The watch stays connected to phone audio and the speakers get the media audio.

Connecting the S2 3G watch and a Bose BT speaker via the phone's BT at the same time works great for me.

Thanks for the replies. Looks like my gift to me.

Does this phone have bad Bluetooth ??

I'm curious to find out if anyone has issues with Bluetooth. I just spent a decent amount for a high quality Bluetooth stereo headset so I can listen to music while jogging or bike riding with no wires, and for some reason I can't seem to get good signal with it unless the phone is less than a foot away. I know the WiFi in this phone sucks completely, so I was curious if the Bluetooth sucked too.

your antenna or something must be broken if you have to be that close
It sounds like all around you need a new phone, I have never used Bluetooth but from the sounds of it there are internal problems

My WiFi works to about two houses away(my house is concrete brick and my router is in a corner, and Bluetooth has worked well for me. I agree its probably your antennae.

i got the motorola S10-HD bluetooth stereo headset and they barely connect to the device. but i heard if your on CM you should be ok with it. idk y but htc sense doesnt have the greatest radio for bluetooth in my opinion. i tested it on 5 phones, and only htc phones i had issues with.

Make sure the headset supports A2DP and Bluetooth 3.0.
I am able to stream shoutcast over 3g/bluetooth from my phone to my Pioneer DEH-P9800BT no problem.
I just got a new bluetooth 3.0 set from Fry's for like $30 and it has been working fine. Haven't tried music streaming yet.
Link here:

I have some issues with connecting and have to repair everytime but not sure if that's my kernel or cm7 or the headset itself. Will check later.
I'm on cm nightlie and have my issue....have tried different nightlies with same issue...but haven't tried other peoples roms cause their still based on cm7... mines support ap2d not sure about Bluetooth 3.0....

How can I receive a bluetooth audio stream on my GS3?

I've got an Avantree Saturn bluetooth transceiver hooked up to my home stereo. When it's in Receive mode I can send audio from my GS3 to the stereo.
However, you can also Transmit audio from the Saturn. I want to send the audio from my home stereo by bluetooth to my GS3, so that I can listen with headphones on my GS3. I don't want to use a bluetooth headset. I want my GS3 to receive the bluetooth signal. This will be helpful when I want to listen to the TV (which is hooked up to the home stereo) silently on my GS3.
I can't figure out how to receive a bluetooth audio stream into my GS3. Can anyone help?
Bump
Have you tried putting the device in discovery mode and then have the GS3 do a scan for Bluetooth devices. If the phone finds the device during the scan, it should allow connection and then present whatever options are available when connecting to that device.

Does the s3 have the option of receiving audio streaming? I think only particular Bluetooth devices have that such as stereos

That's the question that I don't know the answer to. I'm suspecting that it can't, since there doesn't seem to be anyone doing it and there's no app to allow it. These posts and others suggest that it's not possible: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...udio-from-pc-to-android-device-over-bluetooth
I guess that the apps that allow you to stream from a PC use wifi, not bluetooth.
If I had to guess. I would say No. It would be a nice feature. But I don't think our cellphones are designed for receiving audio through Bluetooth!

Battery/Bluetooth/headphones nexus 5

Has anyone else had the same problems I've been having? The battery life Is horrible. The Bluetooth never stays connected and when I get frustrated with the Bluetooth I try it use a set of in ear headphones with mic but that only works when it wants to. I've about had it I bought a moto x to try before I completely give up on the nexus. And I really don't want to have to go back to the iPhone 5 but I NEVER had any problems out of the iPhone. Thank guys and girls

Nexus 5 and galaxy gear

Hey guys. I've recently picked up one of these watches since I've read that it will somewhat work with the n5. The main issue that I have is the fact that when paired the watch shows up as a headset instead of a watch which my zwatch showed up as. Because it pairs this way I cannot use a Bluetooth headset cause all audio is filtered to the watch. Is it possible to edit Bluetooth profiles of devices or something? Thanks for any help.

It only works with Galaxy devices natively. It is possible there is a hack out there to make it work with the N5, but I haven't seen one.

Did you download Gear Manager? Secondly, I believe it may pair as a Bluetooth headset because you can make and receive calls directly from the watch.

Yep audio gets directed to the watch. I've managed to root w/custom ROM on the gear. But the biggest thing I've got to get working is notifications on the watch and audio on the BT earpiece. No luck so far.

Yep I've had gear manager followed all tutorials and got notifications working, its just the fact that I can't use a BT earpiece. I wonder if there is a Bluetooth file somewhere that determines what kind of device is paired to the n5, and if so can it be edited so the galaxy gear is showing up as a watch instead of another earpiece.

I'll have to ask my dad but as far as I can remember whenever he used the Galaxy Gear with his phone he never used his Bluetooth headset and I'm wondering if its because the watch is now considered a Bluetooth headset.

Unable to talk on phone using headphones

Hi all, anyone having issues using wired headphones with a mic while connected to the Mix3? I use my phone for work a lot so this is important to me. I can hear audio, but no one can hear me. It's like the phone isn't picking up the mic on the headset.
Thanks in advance
