I am loving my Note 10.1 so far. I use an Att S3 daily and was wondering if there is any way for the two to hook up maybe to send texts from my S3 using the Note.
I paired them using bluetooth and so far as I can see, it does not do a whole lot. I have a voice and data SIM in my S3 and a Data SIM in the Note 10.1. I have been switching SIM's back and forth, but there has got to be a way to get them to work togther?
I kind of remember hearing about a companion app from Samsung. I have yet to find anything though. Any ideas?

I've heard an app called "Tablet Talk" works very well for syncing and sending texts over bluetooth or wifi.
I don't know exactly what it does but have you proved the Allshare Cast app?

Anyone knows if it will be possible to make or take calls on the none 3g version when tethered to a phone?
I think the first generation gear s was able to do that but I can't find any information on the gear s2.
All the reviews mention that the 3g version is able to make calls when NOT tethered to a phone, no mention about the none 3g version when it is tethered to a phone.

You can make the call but the watch doesn't have a speaker so you won't be able to actually talk on it. You'll have to either pick up your phone or use a Bluetooth headset.

Is this verified or an assumption ? Do you currently own the watch?
The standard bluetooth models, regular and Classic, cannot make phone calls. There is no speaker on them. If you want to make calls from the watch you need to pick up the 3g model that comes out next month. That one has a speaker.
This is based on spec sheets. This is based on tutorial videos. And this is based on personal ownership and experience with an S2 Classic.

Thank you! Guess 3G version it will be.

It's been verified by multiple sources. That's why I think I'm gonna skip this watch. Classic doesn't come in 3g and I'm not a fan of the way the sport version looks.

I have the non 3g and I can initiate a call but have to continue on the phone or Bluetooth.

Yes, sounds like android wear is doing it today.
I wish they would do it like Apple is doing it with their watch. You can take and make calls regardless of the watch having 3g connectivity.

If I see someone making a call on their watch and obviously the call will be on speaker you'll get a slap on the hand. If you're going to have a conversation don't be that guy and have it on speaker.
I rarely talk on the phone in public and when I do, it's NEVER on speaker. That's just obnoxious. I think it would be good for when I'm at the house and my phone is in another room and I can't get to it in time. I could answer on the speaker until grabbing my phone.

the Gear S2 cannot make or receive calls. if you get a call you will get a notification and if you slide to answer it tells you the call is on your phone. when you try to make a call it says that its dialing on your phone.
this is the deal breaker for me, Im returning it this Friday. the Gear 2 is much more functional while the Gear S2 just looks better.

It doesn't matter on the phone as the sport/classic doesn't have a speaker, only microphone so it won't be able to handle an actual call. It can initiate one and you can have the actual conversation on your handset
agreed, this is a huge deal breaker for me... just picked up a refurb gear s for $150. Now I wait for speakerphone support through android wear!

The LG Urbane 2 does this with android wear. However, it has its own Sim. Not sure if that it what you are looking for.

I think speaker support will be coming to Android Wear sooner than later. Thought I read that a tear down of the Huawei watch showed an unexplained speaker present in the watch.

Don't want/care about sim card support, not until carriers allow sim card cloning so your watch and phone have the same phone number. At this point, I want BT, WiFi, and voice calling.

Just FYI, LG is working with US carriers to clone SIMS.

You can make and receive calls with the T-Mobile S2. Not that I plan on doing that but nice feature to have. It also has 4G.
I just got my s2 3g version and was wondering what the latest build number for it was. Mine is currently on OL3 but I've heard there is a newer one and wanted to check to be sure.

On the 3G model, OL3 is the latest. The 3G is really behind the Sport & the Classic right now. Samsung fail..

Well ****...that sucks.
I had seen someone talking about the new update fixing the hyperbolic issues, do you know what they meant?
Any idea when an update to ol3 will become available for the 3g version?

I have OL3 on mine. Tmobile version
Does T-Mobile have anything like AT&T numbersync? Managing a second phone number seems it can be confusing for the people I call from the watch. I understand AT&T numbersync makes it look like one phone number across all devices.

Not at the moment but T-Mobile claims to be working on adding number sync to plans sometime next year
I now see tmobile said that in Oct 2015...

Verizon has something similar with their tablets. I have an iPad that I can text and call from using their messages + app and it shows as my phone. This works while on WiFi also!!

I don't know for sure as I currently have a tmobs S3 because VZW doesnt sell it yet.
Verizon offered me a $100 off code for the gear S3. So I'd be able to get it off contract for $300 before fees. I already have the gear S3 with only wifi. Should I consider it? I'm really curious as to whether anyone has tried using it as a standalone device and if it is really practical.

It should work fine only thing you'll have to worry about is updates. I have the WiFi gear s3 classic so I only have to wait for samsung to release an update to the US while on carrier you probably have to wait for them to send out the update. Of there than that every thing else should work fine

Except S voice doesn't work like it should after it's last update which I think has been about two months ago.

I just bought the watch yesterday and S Voice was functioning just fine. Then I took a software update and it killed half the functionality. I can't reply to text messages with S voice unless I change my language to English UK. Then Everytime she talks to me she has an accent. There's a thread that many others have shared the same exact issue. I'm going to be returning mine. I love it except for S voice.

Yeah in my opinion s voice was going to be crappy from before the watch got launched. S voice in general is crap. It needs to updated to Bixby in the future hopefully that will help if not then a different voice system
