Does anyone know how to disable the auto answering of the watch. I don't want to have to switch every call to my phone from the Bluetooth menu when I receive a call. I can't find a toggle in settings on the gear app or on the watch itself.

I don't have it yet, but it might be in the bluetooth settings on your phone

What do you mean?
if you answer a call with the phone, it will use the phone for speaking with. if you answer with the watch, it will use the watch to speak with.
if you don't want to talk on the watch, don't answer with it.

Nope that isn't how it works. I answer on the phone and the call audio is on the watch. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. Then I have to manually switch it to handset.

I have call audio enabled in bluetooth settings.
And yes, that is how it works. I just tested it. I answer with my phone, I can speak on the phone. Audio doesn't go via the watch if you don't answer with the watch.

Did you ever consider that it might work differently on different phones? That isn't how it worked by default on my pixel and T-Mobile s3.

It shouldn't be any different.
It's a Pixel. Very basic device. Bluetooth works like it's 1999.
I have a different weird problem. I just got the S3 (T-Mo) came from the S2 (T-Mo). I have used the Note5, Note7 and S7 Edge all T-Mo with the S2. I got rid of my personal phone (T-Mo) and started using my work phone (S7 Edge Verizon) when I still had the Gear S2. My calls would sporadically auto answer or not be received at all; going straight to Voicemail. This phenomena never occurred when I had the T-Mo phones, so I am wondering if it has something to do with how the Verizon phones interact with T-Mo phones. This is now happening with my (T-Mo) Gear S3 connected to my Verizon S7 Edge. Is anyone having the same problem? Or anyone NOT having this problem but using a Verizon Galaxy phone with a T-Mo Gear S watch? I'm curious if I just need to tweak a setting I am not familiar with on the Verizon S7 Edge (some menus are different than the T-Mo phone) and the way they forward calls is different, as well and I don't completely understand how it works compared to the T-Mo phones.
I am having the exact same problem and my gear is identical to yours including TMO. I will try disabling the phone audio in BT but this should not be happening at all.
I have to disable this daily, horrible. Every time I leave my car it automatically switches bt phone audio back to the watch. What a bummer!
Same problem here. Nexus 5X and Gear S3. Even if I dial out from the phone, the call gets redirected to my watch. Same if I receive a call. Even if I answer on phone, audio gets sent to the watch.
Any solution?
I'm having the same issue. It does not matter if I answer on phone or watch, the audio is always on the watch. How do I make it smart to tell the difference? I'm using a Pixel. Thanks
Might take a look at this:

I had the same problem. I disabled the phone audio profile and it worked. However the second time this happened and I disabled the phone audio profile it turned the blue tooth off and I would not get messages or call notifications on my watch. I turned on the phone audio profile and now I get the phone notifications but also get the answering on my watch (even though I answered on the phone). I have tried disconnecting the watch, rebooting the phone but nothing.
Solved with MacroDroid:
Trigger: Call active (any contact)
Action: Kill application Galaxy Wearable
Constraints: Trigger fired Call active
AND In call
App Alive BG Galaxy Wearable
Hi
When I get my S3, will I be able to go back and forth between my S2 Classic and my new S3 Frontier? Will my S7 Edge let me do that? Sometimes I will want to wear the S2 and other times the S3.
TIA
Yes. I own an S2 and S3 frontier. The gear app holds both profiles. All you have to do is turn whichever watch on and select the profile. Only problem that I have is that when I switch back to my S3 my Samsung Pay has to be set up all over again. That needs to be fixed but other than that it works like a charm.

Thanks for that! Just had an email from Amazon that they should be shipping my Frontier next week. I don't suppose step counting etc knows it's the same person and cumulates my activities across both watches? Or do I end up with two activity profiles, one for each watch?
TIA.
Your step record is attached to you Samsung account, so it should be transferable from one watch to another. Just remember to sync them

That's great! Thanks!
I have a problem. My gear s3 stopped receiving phonecalls. Everything else works normally. Does anyone have the same issue??
I have similar issue. I can make calls using Gear. But incoming calls are not forwarded to the watch. What phone are you using? I am on Nexus 6P, running Oreo.
Anybody using a Nexus 6P with Gear? What ROM are you on?
Having some issues with my Z and my gear s3. Notifications finally work but I still cannot use it as a bluetooth speaker and mic for calling. Samsung was pretty unhelpful.
Ive reset it a few times with and without backup, reinstalled the app and many reboots of both devices.
Any ideas guys?
Moto Z Play Android 8.1
Gear S3 Frontier 3.0.0.1
I have the latest Galaxy watched and just connected it to the 7. I get app notifications on the watch but no calls or texts. I checked the settings and did all I can think of. Is this an incompatibility issue or is there something I'm not doing?
Thanks!
IIRC, the calls only come to the watch when you're away from your phone? That's how it was when I was using it on my Note 9. Haven't tested calls on my 7 Pro yet with my GS3 Frontier but texts came through.
Texts and calls come to mine no problem. Works pretty flawlessly.

I don't get anything as calls, call log, messages or inbox. Very weird because on my s10+ it was working fine.
I completely reset the watch. Didn't think of that at first. I just "connected to new phone" before this. I'll keep everyone posted.
Yeah when you change phones you have to reset the watch. I have the GS3 Frontier and this was I had to do. Mine works with getting notifications from textra, WhatsApp and calls no issues.

I just woke up and that's the first thing that came to mind. I don't have the OOS messages app on there. Thanks!
Do you have the Samsung Accessories plugin installed? And the Galaxy Watch plugin? You need both.
