I have a pair of Klipsch S5i (I realize these are the iPhone edition, but worked fine with my Rezound) that I am trying to use with the S3. They do work but when I try to make a call I have to unplug then replug in after I dial. If I make a call with them already plugged in the phone uses speakerphone rather than headset.
Any ideas? Any suggestions for other "high quality" earbuds that also have microphone?
That is strange. While I do not have any suggestions...My iBeats that came with my Rezound work fine on my S3 on stock rom and CM10 now.
What rom are you on?

Stock rooted. I wish I had kept my iBeats, over hyped but still good. :crying:

Yeah I haven't really spent much on headphones before so my iBeats work for me!
I have a feeling it is because of the product being developed for the iPhone. Can't think of any other reason these wouldn't work.
klipsch s4's work great on my s3.

Do you have the S4i or S4a with mic or just regular headphones? I would like to use for calls too.

UGH! I am having the exact same problem. I have two pairs of phones: s4is and the E2s. Neither works to make calls. I can't hear sound in the phones, and the mic is not supported. I pray this is a joke. How on earth can every other Android phone work with these? I just sold a 4s to get the GS3, and I'm already regretting it. My G2x worked fine with these phones. I use Headphone Controller to manipulate the function of the headphones for use with PlayerPro, but I can't figure out a thing about getting these to work for calling. I am definitely selling this GS3 if I can't figure this out.
Totally frustrating experience. First it was the stock mail app not supporting Exchange sub-folders, and not this. Grrrr. Any solution to the issue would be greatly appreciated.
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?
I'm going to install a different ROM on my lg g3, first stoke ROM and then costume ROM to verify if it's related...

Hello there,
I just received my xz premium today, and to my big surprise my headphones (Huawei am185) can't be used with the phone.
I get a message saying ''headphones not supported .......'''
Can that really be true? - never had that issue before with any phone nor' headset.
Is there a way to fix it, and what kind of headset doesent work, kinda scared buying a new pair of headphones that ain't from sony, if they dont work.

Not sure what to say about your issue... I have tried two different headset/headphones and both work without any trouble at all.
Well, i tried some other headphones aswell - they worked fine.
Maybe it's because its from huawei?
is it a certain feature that's not working with them or are they not working at all when you try to play music?
They are not working at all
