What do you mean by 'make it as a bluetooh headset'?

You mean spoof another BT device into thinking your sensation is a Bluetooth headset?! What reason would you have for doing that?!

I wanna buy a samsung Galaxy Tab, and it's embarrassed to make a phone call with the big one in size of 7 inch. (I only have one SIM card placed in Tab) So... is it possible that I make a phone call with sensation via bluetooth ?
Thanks again!

You can't make calls on a tablet anyway. Leave the simcard in your sensation!

Why?
Is it limited by sensation hardware or firmware? Or something else?

No, your tablet can't make calls, so you're never going to get any calls or txts if your sim is in it.

Yeah, the tablet's only use of the SIM would be for mobile data.
You are better of doing it the other way. Leave the SIM in the Sensation and use wifi tethering to connect the Tablet to the phone for mobile data.

I am sure that samsung Galaxy Tab can make calls , see the spec. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_p1000_galaxy_tab-3370.php
The tablet with support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS.
so.... is there any way to make calls by using sensation via bluetooth instead of bluetooth headset like BR950S ?

I know the way you said, but it will get heavy drain to battery with wifi tethering.

Yes you can make phone calls via GT P7500 (Samsung 10.1) but you hv to download an apk with tweaked firmware. I use it via Bluetooth ear piece. I am not sure if you can use sensation as Bluetooth headset though while using the tab as phone. For me, i get another sim card with the same no and put it in the tab. But i hv given away the Bluetooth ear piece hence unable to test.

Okay fine. But if you don't want to use the giant tablet to make calls, then my sollution is still your best bet. Use the phone as a phone and wifi tether the tablet to the phone's mobile data.
You get exactly what you want and everything works easily, and you don't have to create unique sollutions to get the tablet to push calls to the Sensation.

or use a voip solution on the sensation and call it a day

Phone calls on the none 3g model?

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.

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.

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.

Disable auto answer on watch?

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.

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

Samsung gear s3 standalone

Okay, so the scenario is...if i have gear s3 LTE version and i left my phone at home with wifi connected. can i receive phone calls on my watch even if the watch is not connected to wifi or my phone.
Also, would google voice be the solution to this?

Question Galaxy Watch 4 LTE call sync issue

I have the LTE version of the GW4. When purchasing I assumed it was identical to the bluetooth version. It appears that there is a difference besides the LTE radio. When I am connected via bluetooth all is great. I can get my calls on the watch, as well as make them. If I am remotely connected even on same wifi, everything works, including text, but not phone calls. From what I can gather, this is not the case on bluetooth version watches. Ive tried everything. I will get a missed call notification few seconds after the originating call hangs up, but no ringing on the phone, and if I initiate a call from the watch it wont go through, unless connected via bluetooth. Guess my question boils down to, can I chaange the firmware to match that of the blutooth version. I do not have a mobile plan attached to the watch, as my carrier charges $20 plus tax for wearable.
Thanks

Watch needs a plan is why.

If not using a plan you should get the Wi-Fi only one.

I already purchased the watch months ago. My question is a firmware question. Can the LTE version be flashed to the Bluetooth version firmware.
