Hi everyone,
I want to ask, has someone tried using the Gear S3 with a galaxy phone using Cyanogenmod and had the phone/call routed to the Gear S3 via Bluetooth?
I tried this, everything else works but calls don't work, only the notification. Can't make calls either with the Gear S3.
On Touchwiz everything works, as it should, but when I change to CM it breaks calls on the watch. Has someone found a fix or workaround for this?

Trying to figure out the calling features.
So, I have downloaded the Gear App on my S7. Under the Gear settings I have set up the call forwarding to send calls to my Gear S3. So far, this seems correct. Now when I call from another phone my S7 Edge rings while my Gear S3 rings. OK, fine. Then the S7 stops ringing and the Gear S3 stops for a few seconds. All of a sudden the Gear S3 starts ringing again. I let the call go to voicemail but the TMo voicemail never picks up. Am I missing something here?

Have you set up voicemail on the gear s3?

I have it set up now... I enabled Google voicemail for the watch. Tested that and it worked. Then I disabled that and let the TMo voicemail take over. It worked for some reason. Now the dillema is do I use the TMo voicemail or Google Voicemail? Issue is there is no way to retrieve Google voicemail on the watch?

Are you sure you're on LTE when the call comes in and not Bluetooth? For me when on LTE, my phone will ring a bunch of times, then when it seems like voicemail should pick up, the call finally comes in on the watch. Makes call forwarding pretty unusable.
I have a htc 10 but I can't get the gear s3 classic (no lte) to make calls or just talk on it. Also on s voice it says sms service not available. Is there anyway around that? Maybe editing the build.prop
Anyone have a solution to this? Could it be lineage OS? When I try to switch to viper rom gear manager keeps crashing
Searched through the archives but didn't find anything related. Is it possible to make it so that the Google Dialer(phone) app works on the Gear S3 the same way the stock app works with incoming calls? Using this with a Samsung S9+ and 8.0, latest update on Gear S3. Any help would be great. Thank you.
Apologies if this has already been asked and answered. I'm using the S9+ with my Gear S3 and I'd like to use Android Messages for SMS. Is there a plugin or something that I can use to bypass the Gear's requirement that I use Samsung Messaging for SMS? Thanks in advance for your help.

I am experiencing this same frustration. Were you ever able to find a work around?
No. Sadly, I have not.
I am using Gear S3 with Galaxy S7. I started with Samsung messenger on the phone, and then changed later to that of android. I can receive receive notifications now.
You always have been able to receive messages from other apps, it just doesn't function to the full potential of the native Samsung app. I used Textra for a long time, but with the functionality went back to Samsung. You would most likely have to root the watch. I've been waiting for a way to make my default app other than Samsung as well but in the year-and-a-half I've had this watch it hasn't happened
Hi,
I have my S3 Frontier paired with my Galaxy Note 10.
When I make a Whatsapp voice call on the Note the watch takes over the call.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I prevent this?
Found the setting in the Wearables app under notifications:-
I had "Show while using phone" turned on.
The problem has returned.
Any other users experiencing this?

Hey I have the same issue. Note 10 plus and gear s3 frontier. Simce November only. Also, my outgoing whatsapp voice calls over mobile data drops around 1 minute. Is that happening to you as well? This is so frustrating.

Found the answer.
When you start the Whatsapp Voice call Bluetooth is automatically enabled.
You'll see the Bluetooth emblem at the bottom of the screen.
Just tap it and the problem goes away.
Yes but do you think that's the reason why the calls drop? Do you face the same issue on mobile data?
Also, what changed in November? Everything was fine before for me. I had the watch before and whatsapp weren't playing on the watch. Now it plays and I can also accept whatsacalls from the watch itself
