I have my S2 connected to my Nexus 6 via bluetooth. My S2 is the LTE version with T-mobile. When someone calls my cell, it rings on my Nexus as well as the S2. I'm ok with that. But if I answer the call on my Nexus, my S2 acts like a speaker phone. Don't like that. I want to be able to answer call on my nexus and use the nexus for the call or answer the call on my S2 and take the call on that. Is that possible?
Fron my understanding if you are using your watch on Bluetooth connection then the watch will act like a Bluetooth speaker if you answer a call on your phone. Only work around is to disconnect Bluetooth from your phone when you answer the call. Think of playing music thru a portable Bluetooth speaker and receiving a call while listening to music. You'd just disconnect Bluetooth from your phone to have a private convo.
Any help from HERE?
Yeah. I read that too. Not happy about it. Samsung needs to fix that issue. I had the urbane before s2. The s2 seems more of a work in process. Miss the integration of Android apps into the watch such as spotify.
Another reason Samsung needs to get rid of Tizen and only use Android Wear.
I have a Samsung Note 5 and don't have that problem. I can answer from either the phone or the watch on my S2 T-Mobile. If I had a non Sammy phone I would not be happy, hopefully they will fix in an update, or a Dev will put out a program to help. They advertise the watch as working with any Android 4.4 or above phone, they do not mention limitations if you are not on a Samsung phone.
I came up with a solution that fixes part of the problem. I use an app on my phone called Macrodroid. It's an automated task app. I created a macro that when I answer a call on my phone , it turns off bluetooth and vice versa when I hang up. So that works fine when I answer a call on my phone the call is not picked up by the S2. But when I answer the call on my S2, Macrodroid can't tell tell the difference that I'm answering the call on my S2 not the phone and turns off bluetooth. Not good!. There are more sophisticated macro apps out there, but I'm not that good with those. Maybe someone smarter than me can create one.
I also used Macrodroid to automatically call forward (and cancel forward) my cell phone to my watch when they are disconnected via bluetooth.
Go to settings, Bluetooth, and click the gear next to your watch. Uncheck phone audio. No problems now hopefully that's what you're looking for

this solves the problem!
You dont want to use a macro to turn off bluetooth completely when a call comes in , especially if you use a Bluetooth headset with your phone..
I had forgotten where I'd seen this until now.

I kept trying to find the "Phone Audio" setting on the watch's bluetooth settings, not the phone's. Doh!

I'm trying to use Gear 2 with Nexus 4. The most annoying thing is next: when I'm calling, or receive call, phone transports audio to the Gear, and I need to push the button on gear, to move the stream to phone again. So, there is the question - is there any way either to prevent android to send audio to headset by default, or prevent gear to receive this, or move automatically stream to phone somehow.
I have root on gear and on nexus, if this matters

I use the same combination of gear and phone.
I also don't like the calls to come in on the Gear, if I am expecting calls, I unpair the bluetooth to prevent it, but that is not a good solution.
I want to take phone calls on my phone only, like you.
I couldn't find a way to prevent it.
I hope too someone else did.
maybe we need to uninstall one of the provider apk's

I have been looking for a solution for this as well. The fact that I'm using a bluetooth stereo headset makes it even more complicated. I did however found this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734876
Basically it recommends us to use tasker and secure settings to disconnect gear 2 when phone rings or 'off hook'.
hope that helps.

thanks for your reply and help. i did read that..but some people said it used to work..was wondering which version worked..
silly of samsung to disable this feature.
I still have an option to answer a call on my s2 classic. I hope it wouldn't just disappear like the messaging on the 4 app shortcut widget.
I recently went between an s7 edge and a pixel with my gear s2. I noticed I was no longer able to take calls on the watch when I went over to my pixel, but it was not a problem when using my s7 edge.
I figured it out. I don't know why, but I can say for certain that when a gear watch connects to a samsung phone, it defaults to the connection being a media and phone device (rather than the low-powered mode that, say, android wear watches do). Automatically. Always. On my pixel, the connection as a media and phone device must be initiated manually.
On my pixel I went to bluetooth devices and connected to my gear s2, which connected as a media and phone device. After that, the watch will answer phone calls on the watch directly. This all makes sense. The only difference is that on my pixel (anything other than my samsung phone actually), it does not default to connecting to the watch as a media/phone device (only low-powered peripheral).
Hope that helps.
I know this is old, but I wanted to offer a solution to the same problem I faced with a ZTE Blade Max. Goto bluetooth settings and click S2 in paired items then settings or options, then tick the option for phone audio. Problem solved!

Hi there! I've tried to use this solution but I can't find any kind of option as the one you suggest. I have a Xiaomi Redmi note 7. Is there any other option you can offer? Thank you so much for your time!
you have to change your build.prop to show a samsung device. cent remember where it is in the build.prop, but im fairly certain that this is the issue. This popped up pretty frequently back when the watches first came out and i had to do this myself as i was running an AOSP ROM on my old S5 when i got my first smartwatch (Gear 2 Neo) until i flashed android wear on it and no longer had the option to answer calls at all on my watch
hi,
i recently got a gear s3 classic, wifi and bt edition.
whenever i want to make a call from the watch its just erasing the numbers and doing nothing. also when im trying to call a contact, it's freezin for a few seconds and after its doing nothing. when i receive a call i can just decline it but not accept it. my bluetooth seems proberly connected, im getting notifications and similiar thing, also the gear app says im connected. using it with a oneplus2 on RR, android 7.1.2.
i hope someone got fix for this.

Do you have other devices paired to your phone? If so, you might experiment by UNpairing other devices (headphones, bt speakers, whatever) and then try again.
I've seen my go both ways. But I prefer it paired with my car so have tried to limit the bt pairing between my phone and the watch to notices and some data updates but NOT voice.

thanks for your answer. i've tried this, doesn't work. i've also reseted my watch already and reinstall all the samsung stuff. not working at all.
ive fixed the problem so far. its caused by the rom, if i use the oxygenos it's working
I can confirm that there are a few custom roms (7.1.2) which supports the calling functionality in OP2.
You don't really have to move back to the stock Oxygen OS. :good:
PureNexus
HalogenOS
AICP etc..
So I'm running a S7 Edge + Gear S3 Frontier (Wi-Fi) combo. I've never had a single issue up until I updated to Tizen 3 yesterday. Everything looks fancier and better and so far I really enjoy it. But there's that little thing that irritates the hell out of me. When I call someone or someone calls me, the Bluetooth icon in the Call app is turned on by defaut so everything goes through the mic and speaker of my watch. I have to specifically click it again to turn it off every single time I make a call. Sometimes I forget to do so and it turns out rather embarrassing.
This has always been the default behaviour with my car's bluetooth and I've been fine with that. But this happening with the smartwatch as well is absolutely irritating.
Is someone experiencing this issue as well and any ideas how to fix it?

Did the same thing yesterday. Definitly started after update.
Same here.
I've already tried everything possible (I think ) Would turning audio bluetooth off cut the watch from the phone? Audio is my only option in bluetooth settings... I'm using Gear S3 classic along with Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

had the same issue, but after factory reset on my gear s3 it was fixed, have a try ...
Have this exact issue. Factory Reset the watch with no change.
Also turning off calls under bluetooth settings on the phone disconnects the watch from the phone thus this is not an option.
Gear S3 Classic paired to an Galaxy S10+
Does anyone else have this problem? I just got the Galaxy 4 smart watch (bluetooth, not lte version) a few days ago. When I initiate a call from the watch it dial and says "See phone" and the call is now coming through the phone. I can click a button on the phone to send the call back to the watch but obviously this defeats the convenience of not needing to have the phone in arms reach.
My husband figured out that its some kind of interference with other connected bluetooth devices (even though they are off), like my car and handsfree earpiece. If I unpair each of those items, calls work as they should. As soon as I re-pair another bluetooth device the problem resurfaces. I'd rather not have to pick one or the other to work if I can help it. Samsung support hasn't been able to fix it. Any ideas?
I should have clarified, I'm wondering both who does and who doesn't have this issue. Please comment even if yours works perfectly.
Samsung support seemed to suggest it was a software issue thar might be able to be fixed in a future update but I'm not sure if its an issue for anyone other than me.
