hey guys, i just got my charge and downloaded the app "tango", which allows video chatting.
but when i try it and i turn on the video my friend cannot hear me.
i remember when i got my phone the guy at best buy said the charge cannot send data and voice at the same time
so i am amusing this is the problem.
my friend has the Tbolt and it works fine.
If video chatting is out of the question for the charge why did they even include the front facing camera.
also is there a way around this? how can i get video chatting to work on my charge.
any ideas
thanks guys.
i've found this thats how i came upon tango but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
is it just my phone or all charges?
Make sure your friend does not have mute selected, and does have the speaker selected.

The developers of Tango are aware of the audio issues associated with the Charge, and are working to resolve it. Here's a post from another site:

Hey all,
Yea, I think I'm having the same issue.
Tango doesn't work, yahoo mess doesn't work. Fring DOES work!
Thanks for the help.

something new with Fring, because when I used it, it wouldn't use the front facing camera.
Yeah Fring was update a few hours ago. But the volume is too low for the program to be honestly useful.

Has anyone been able to get skype video to work on the charge? I just got an upgrade available and I'm debating whether to get this or the thunderbolt which can use skype but the battery life is a major concern.

It is low. If you are outside or in a noisy place you'll have issues. But for me it's not too bad. I use it at work to talk and cheack on my son at home. If I don't call him he'll never take a bath. Hell when I was his age I was ironing my clothes and smelling fine. Had girls all over the place. This boy don't give to you know whats.

Don't look like it. I just checked the reviews in the market place and as of 6-8-11, people are still rating it poorly because of that.

Not sure if you're aware, but that just means you can't use data while on voice CALLS only. Data doesn't disable your microphone.
I've downloaded Qik but haven't tried it yet. Anyone have any luck?
Hi everybody, do you know if there's any possibility to answer to a telephone call activating from the gear s2 the speakerphone of you phone? ( i'm sorry for my bad english..)

Unless you have the 3g version the phone call will be on your phone at the same time as the watch, and the only way to really answer it would be to be on your phone.

Yes, I'm sorry maybe I wasn't clear enough, my fault! When I receive a phone call the gear s2 gives on his screen 2 options: answer or refuse...I'd like to know if there is a way to click on answer and the phonecall starts on my phone on speakerphone so I can talk without handle it...

Not currently possible, but it's a great idea and Sammy should update it so that it can.

No but that would be great, currently just answer via the phone not speakerphone
Possible workaround is to turn on answering calls with voice commands (under accessibility) then saying 'answer' should automatically force the speaker. I haven't tested this and am unsure if this will work via the watch of course. You can always pretend Another option would be car mode but not the most practical.

Tested, and it doesn't work. Voice commands turns speaker on if I talk to my phone, but not if I talk to my watch. This really is a bummer, it would be nice if the phone is on the table, and I'm on the couch, for ex.
What's the purpose of answering through your watch if you still need to pick up the phone? Yeah I know, Bluetooth and all that, would still be nice though.

why i can't answer a call with my gear S2 as the apple watch without 3G, in this case it will act as a Bluetooth hands free speaker..............it is very disappointing
The reason is very simple: it is a Samsung Gear S2 with Tizen - not iOS
With the Gear 2 this is possible without any problem, provided by Samsung. They know how to do it, even with Tizen. How they manage there products is very strange sometimes.
I saw it on the video that when you get a phone call, the watch vibrates and have a green tab on the left to let you slide and take the call and a red tab on the right that let you reject call. But on my s2 classic , when I get the phone calls, I just see the reject call tab but not the answering tab, I know I can only speak on the phone but can I answer the phone on the watch speak on the phone?
Sorry for bad english
Yes you should be able to Reject and Answer calls directly through the watch. I have Accept in green on the left and Reject in red on the right side of my sport edition. Do you have it pair to a Samsung phone or other, not that that should make any difference.

Are you able to initiate calls from the watch?

Yes I can make calls on watch , already tried resetting the watch and still no luck
Mine is paired with a Samsung Edge+. I can answer phones just fine.
The green answer slider ONLY works on Samsung phones. I have a Nexus 5, and I definitely don't have the green slider. I'd like it cause my android wear watch has it, but it doesn't really do much, since you can't talk into the watch since there is no speaker to hear the other person. So, nice, but not terribly useful.
it might be different on the 4G watches that just hit, since you can talk and hear right from the watch..

I have an S2 4G on T-Mobile and it works fine with my Samsung Note 5. The 4G version should work fine with other android phones, that is what they are advertising. We will hear from lots of 4G owner very soon as the T-Mobile versions are up and running now.
I did not realize you don't get the green slider on the BT S2 when you are not using a Samsung phone.
Gotta chime in
I have been struggling with this for days now. On Nexus 6 with lollipop and Nexus 6P with gear s2 Verizon version, you cannot answer or make a call on your phone. the audio and mic will default to the watch as if it is a BT headset. this is very annoying. With all my other gears I have not had this problem. To answer the original question of the thread: go to BT on your phone and check phone audio on the BT settings for the gear s2. then you can receive and make calls. But, for my issue, Verizon does not know what's going on and sent me a new phone which does the same thing, then blames Samsung, who then blames Google's M, who then blames Huawei, who then blames Verizon. I have been instructed, now, to call higher level support with Samsung... Will give an update!

Go to your phone's BT settings; select the settings of your gear s2 and check the phone audio box.
nexus 6, rooted, with a custom rom, on T Mobile, zero issues making or receiving calls from the watch, either in Bluetooth mode or stand alone mode.
I also successfully paired my Moto Bt headset to the watch, so I can make and receive calls from the watch, with my bluetooth headset on!!
so far, everything works exactly as I hoped!

Hi,
Tested Gear S2 wifi only model (Non-sim model) with Nexus 5, Huawei p8, Samsung S5, and Samsung A5-2016 models.
Green Call accept button is available only with Samsung S5, and Samsung A5. In other devices only Red Reject button is Available.

Not true, at least with the 4G models. It's worked just fine on my HTC M8 and my HTC 10. Very recently it stopped working (long after this thread was created), and I haven't done any major updates to my watch or ROM. So it must be something else, at least for some of us.
Edit: And... Now it works again. Very weird.

I have the S2 classic without Sim card connected to lg g3 and I don't have the answering option..
Can you please tell me what is the difference?

hey there, I just wanted to know how you answer calls with a smartwatch that doesn't have a speaker.
Thanks, Fritz_Frigursson
the 4g model does have a speaker..
Good morning,
Do you know if Gear S3 will have all its functions paired with an Android that is not from Samsung?
Or is it only with a Samsung mobile that all functions are active?
I'm using mine with an iPhone 5S, with the Gear Manager Beta for IOS.
Thank you!
Had it paired with an Asus phone, now with the Oneplus 3T. Did not find anything not working!

Sorry, my English is not very good, if I understand, you said that both in Asus and OnePlus all the functions work with on a Samsung Smartphone?
Yes
The S3 Frontier works flawlessly with my LG G5.
Exactly what does "limited capability" (from Samsung's web site) for calls, messaging, email, wifi sync mean? I have a Gear S3 with a Samsung S7 Edge, but am trying to convince a friend who has an LG V20 what a great watch this is... thanks for any info!
Is there any way to make phone calls directly from the gear using a non Samsung phone? Or Cyanogenmod?

Well if you have the LTE version of Gear, you can make phone calls from the watch without a phone at all.

As long as your connected via Bluetooth to your phone, then yes it works just fine. I use mine with an LG G5 and it works fine.

What dialer/ phone app are you using? I'm able to receive calls on the watch but only the answer/ decline option, not the answer directly from the gear (talk through the gear)

Well I just tested the calling options:
With bluetooth on and connected to my LG G5, it dials it from my phone but uses the watch's speaker and mic.
With bluetooth off and connected via the watch's sim, I can make and receive calls using only the watch.
I am using the default dialer on both the watch and the phone. Hope that helps...
Have you tried it with a bluetooth headset on a phone not Samsung? I and many others have serious problems because the bluetooth headset disables the Bluetooth "call profile" of Gear !!!
So the use of gear excludes the use of bluetooth headphones including the car handsfree !!!

I have V20 and I receive texts as notifications only. They donot store or sync into the messages app. So no conversation stays on device for reply too. Only chance to reply is when viewing original notification. A new message can be sent via messages though. My biggest complaint.

This was my experience as well with my Moto Z. The messages app was gone after pairing to the Moto. At least on my S3 Frontier LTE, the text messages are a little finicky (delays in showing up, no notifications at all) so this was a deal breaker for me. I switched back to my Note 4.
looks to work well with some phones, but seems not for all of rooted roms :'(
and on my oneplus2 (stock rom) can't find the Gear S app !! (just the Samsung accessory and Gear S Plugin)....
Hi Guys
i have note 2 rooted with Eclipse V9 rom which is android version 4.4.4 and want to buy S3 gear. can some one please confirm if it will work with my phone or not. Thanks in Advance.
