How to stay BT connected without handsfree function - Samsung Gear S3

Hello.
I have a trouble when Gear S3 (Frontier) is connected to S7 Edge via bluetooth and I also want to connect Jabra bluetooth handsfree. Connection is switching from Gear to Jabra during call.
Is there a way how to keep Gear connected but disable handsfree function?

When I do that it disconnects Gear at all.
To be clear: in BT settings in phone there is only 1 option to set: voice and media transfer. Ther is no option to keep "data connection" but disable "audio transfer".

Hmmm I don't have this problem. I have to hit the Bluetooth icon on the watch to talk and hear on my Bluetooth headset. If not I have to talk and listen thru the watch. My watch is paired to my phone but not my Bluetooth headset. The headset is only paired to my phone

Maybe I described problem wrong. I'll try once more:
- Gear is connected to the phone via BT
- I would like to call with my Jabra handsfree
- Without any problem I can connect Jabra to phone in the same time (Gear and Jabra is connected to phone)
- When I make a call, voice/sound is switching from Jabra to Gear (because Gear can work as handsfree as well as Jabra)
So I'm asking if there is a way how to:
- keep Gear connected to phone (to receive notifications etc)
- but disable handsfree function in the Gear
- and use Jabra as handsfree only

You should see a Bluetooth icon when the watch is dialing out press that. For as long as I had my gear s it's been you have to manually press the Bluetooth icon

I'm not dialing from Gear. I'm dialing from phone. But sound of call is switching from one handsfree (Jabra on my ear) to another (Gear on my wrist). And it's same for incomming calls.

Hmm I see. I Don't have this problem everything goes thru the Bluetooth automatically when I dial or answer from the phone. I have both Bluetooth options checked on my headset and the call audio unchecked for the gear s3. I am using a samsung galaxy s6 edge plus ,lg headset and the gear s3

Gear stays connected when you uncheck "call audio" in BT settings? My not.

After you unchecked, the watch became "Samostatny", which means it is disconnected from your phone.

YES!!! I KNOW THAT!!!
The point of this thread is a question:
CAN I STAY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED WITHOUT AUDIO/MUSIC TRANSFER?
I got advise to go to BT settings in the phone and uncheck "audio". But it disconnect Gear totally. I can't receive notifications etc. But it is exactly what I do want to:
To stay connected but without audio option. Because it causes malfunction of my Jabra handsfree.

it is disconnected, then how can it be "stay connected"

Someone has understood how send a call from gear to headest?
i've tryed different model of headset, but the result is the same.
It's possible that's depends from the phone (Nexus 5x) and not from headest?
I hope who no need a Samsung smartphone for a basic function like that.

This is what you want?
Keep notifications on the gear S3 but not using the calling option.
I have the same problem when connection to my car kit. I can switch it manually off without loosing the notifications on my gear.
Strange that you can't.
But what I would like to know, is it possible to use this setting, calling audio no-notifcations yes, as a default. Can I choose this somewhere in settings?
Thanks in advance

Bluetooth Headset

I have a bluetooth headset for calls and music, and previously I used to pair it to the phone. Now I cannot do that because the Gear 2 needs to phone pairing, so I have paired the headset as media to the phone and then paired the headset to the watch.
However, when the call comes in, it doesn't direct it to the headset... does anyone know if this is possible?
My Gear 2 is connected to phone audio and my head set is connected to phone and media audio. When a call comes in is answered with the phone is goes to my bluetooth headset. If answered with the gear 2 i can push the bluetooth symbol that shows on the watch and it transfers to my bluetooth headset. This is with a Note 3 stock.

I am using GPE, so non Samsung TW. If I try and pair my headset to Phone and Media, the Gear 2 disconnects from bluetooth
There is an option to pair the headset to the watch, but that doesn't seem to do anything either
/Edit: I have the LG Tone HBS-730 if that helps and the S4.

Make and Receiving Calls default directly on bluetooth headset ?

Hi there !
There is a way to set my Gear S3 Classic to default call and answer on my bluetooth headset when my bluetooth headset is connected to my phone ? Now every time when I make a call I have to choose and select from watch, those three dots from right and choose bluetooth headset instead phone which apparently is set to default ! In my older Gear S2 Classic when the bluetooth headset is connected all sounds and calls is redirected to the headset not phone !
Thanks !
I have the same problem with OnePlus 3T + bluetooth headset

bluetooth question

Hello,
I am having an issue with BT connection- I do not want take calls via BT on the watch but I still want to receive notifications (via BT). I connect to BT normally, and I go to settings, BT, and unselect "call audio" because I have a headset I use, but the watch disconnects completely from BT and the watch is now in standalone mode and does not receive notifications. So, how can I be connected to BT but NOT take calls on the watch? Any ideas?
I have my watch and my plantronics bluetooth paired to my S7 and what I do is when I get a call is see who calls me on the watch then I answer it with the my bluetooth. Only thing that kind of suck is when I have call waiting and it doesn't show on the watch.
Does it ever show call waiting if you're connected via bluetooth?
It doesn't show on the watch but you will hear a beep tone on the Bluetooth headset. Well at least on my Bluetooth it does.
CAn you connect the watch over wifi to the phone? Tot est, turn off bluetooth on the watch and see if it will connect via wifi - this might solve the issue

Unable to pair BT headset, Bragi "The Headphone"

When searching for BT headsets on my gear sport the bluetooth ear buds "The Headphone", from the company Bragi, doesn't show up no matter what I do. This seems to be a problem for several others, also for the gear S3.
Anyone who can think of a workaround?

Pick Bluetooth Audio

Is there a easy way without opening up Bluetooth connections to disconnect my Bluetooth headset ?
The problem is I maybe playing a game and listening to audio from the game and for some reason the headset kicks in. "The On/Off switch of my Bluetooth handset is not great"
I lose my Audio my phone, then I got to open the Bluetooth connections and disconnect the headset.
Sometimes I want the device to ignore Bluetooth accessories and just use the internal speaker; my old OnePlus this was easy but not so much with the Pixel 4a.
Got to be so annoying I am thinking about buying a new headset.
