Gear S2's Bluetooth capability, greatly reduced. - Samsung Gear S2

Hello friends?
I would like someone to help me about the bluetooth connection of my Gear S2, because when I close it side by side with the smatphone, it connects through bluetooth and when I move away at least half a meter from the connection.
I do not know if it is the configuration of the software or if it is referring to a hardware problem, that is, some problem in the bluetooth module of my Gear S2.
I would also like to know, if anyone knows where is located on the motherboard of Gear S2, the module or chip responsible for the transmission of bluetooth.

Thank you!

Gear S2 - Meizu Note 2 - lost BT connection when...

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english.
As i told in the title, my gear s2 is unable to reconnect BT after i turn it on-off on my phone (or after i reboot my phone).
Every time i shutdown bt or reboot phone, i have to partial-restore my gear s2 because samsung gear manager cant reconnect (it sent to me a little viber without connect).
Please, do you have any idea or trick for solve this problem?
Is there any way to "freeze" BT situation during phone restart? Maybe it could preserve my connection.
Thank you all.
And thanks samsung, stupid cheater (universal smartwatch, yeah! )
I solved with a trick, but when i move myself in another room and i lost BT connection, gear s2 wont auto reconnect to my phone :crying:
New problem: impossible to pair Samsung Gear S2 with my phone while Jabra headset is connecting to my phone.

I Have the same problem, it´s always with a MM 6.0 rom. Any solution for this? Is there more people with the same issue?

Possible to connect external HR monitor to Gear S3?

Is it possible to connect an external HR sensor like the Wahoo Tickr to the Gear S3 using either Bluetooth or ANT+?
On samungs Web page it says that theres no ant+ radio on the watch. :crying:
So isn't there somebody that have tested the watch with a Bluetooth hrm?
Interested on that as well. As the watch doesn't have ANT+, it can only connect to Garmin compatible HR using the watch (less ideal, need watch on person). As for BT HR, not sure - in the watch menu, one can only find connecting to headset, not HR bands...
If there is no provisioning for external HR input, even if you connect with a Bluetooth HR band, there will not be any communication to it. From what we know, the only Bluetooth devices the S3 talks to are your phone and wireless headphones.
Sent from a TMo V20
I would also like to pair my Wahoo Tickr X with my Gear S3.
Are there any custom roms in which the developers could add this functionality?
I sold my Gear S3, it is not good for fitness purposes unfortunately, so bad!

Bluetooth redirect question

I am trying to set up my watch and have looked around everywhere and only getting a couple of dead end results. I am hoping someone has a solution or work around for what seems like a basic problem. I have the s3 frontier and it is connected via bluetooth to lgv20 and the lgv20 is connected via bluetooth to plantronics voyager legend headset. My goal is to quick dial a contact from the watch and it be routed over to the earpiece seamlessly. Right now when i try to swap the call the only options available are phone and dial pad, the third (bluetooth headset) is greyed out. If i swap to the phone obviously the call plays over phone and i need to manually make the change to plantronics from the status bar. Ofcourse all this changes after the call and reverts back and defeats the point anyway if im pulling out the phone in the first place. I have tried disabling the call profile from the s3 but that disables my ability to make the call in the first place, which is not an option. I tried third party apps to reroute the call and "soundaround" worked once, once. Any options or theories would be very much appreciated, this is like the core reason i got this thing and cant believe it would be such a hassle.
I also have the SAME PROBLEM and I also would appreciate any help...
In my case I have an OnePlus 3T + Gear S3 Frontier. I have used several BT headsets with same "bad" result.
Thanks in advance...
I have a Huawei P9 Plus + Gear S3 Frontier + Plantronics M55...... and SAME PROBLEM, i can enable "call profile" on S3 or Headset but not both.
When I connect S3 and headphones to a mobile samsung the "call profile" can be enabled on both, I tried it with samsung KZoom, and all works fine !!!
I wrote the assistance Samsung ... I hope he has a solution because the problem occurs with all bluetooth headsets, including the car's hands-free !!!

Gear S3 and Car phone audio connection

I have a problem with phone audio connection when using my car, Gear S3 by default set to answer calls, also my car bluetooth sets to accept calls when it's on.
Problem is when I get into my car, Gear S3 still connected as phone audio connection and my car cant connect to phone audio.
Is there a way to set priority for bluetooth connections that when I am in my car turns off Gear audio connection and turn it back on when I am not in car?
Or is there any other solution to solve this issue?
Thanks
Model name and Firmware Version could help to understand more...
SM-R760?
or
SM-R770
or
SM-R765?
Firmware version you can check for instance via this Code:
Code:
*#1234#
Maybe you know... Software differences could mean also differences in features and BUGs...
Best Regards

It's R760
That is strange. I have a note 4, both gear and car head-unit connect to it by bluetooth. My phone audio connects only to the device that answers the call.

Maybe it's because I am using non-Samsung device?
Do you enable phone audio for your watch bluetooth settings?
Watch is connected for phone audio at the phone's Bluetooth setting.

So both your car bluetooth and watch bluetooth have phone audio option enabled and both of them connect to Gear at same time?
How do you answer calls then?
Both car and s3 are connected to the phone so either one can answer a call.

And the audio is routed to the answering device. It would be nice to be able to answer the phone with a swipe on the watch and have the audio go to the device of your choice. My old Moto 360 did this, probably because it had no speaker though. It was convenient.

My car doesn't connect to phone audio while Gear is connected, I have to disconnect gear first. Phone is Nexus 6P
Seems the Nexus 6P has a bit of issues with bluetooth connections with cars, https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=.....1.1.64.psy-ab..0.2.341...0i20k1.cGibaV3ew9Q
Maybe can you can try it with another mobile to see if the problem lies your phone or car.

I can confirm the Nexus 6P bluetooth issues. It drove me crazy. Switched to an S8+ and those issues disappeared. In re to the OP, my gear s3 works seamlessly with my s8+ and my car's bluetooth connection. Which device answers the call, it's gets the volume. I noticed mention about being able to direct the connection to a different device: this option exists for my S8+ but I haven't seen it on the Gear. Maybe because of a lack of screen real estate?
I'm using oneplus 3t and have exactly the same issue, both car and watch are connected and none can take the call. Has this been resolved by anyone?

Question Really Galaxy watch 4 can't be connected to Galaxy tablet?

Hi, just bought the galaxy watch4, I can pair it with galaxy active tab 3 but wearable app gives error, I've read around that samsung tablet doesn't permit to connect to a samsung watch, it's abosolutely redicolous! How could I fix this problem?
Thanks
You can't pair the watch with the tablet, but if you want to use the watch without pairing it with the phone, you can hold press the galaxy wearable icon as shown on the video:
thank s for your kind answer, I don't understand the meaning of this video, it seams a way to skip the pair process present at beginning to use the watch. But I need werable app working on phone to receive notificationsm manage calls and so on. The werable app don't want to pair when is installed on tablets, that's amazing but true.
Maybe I can pair somehow, but to receive just datas about blood pressure and so on, useless.
As I know, the only way left is to hack phone and change its ID, so the app will believe it's a phone and it will work.
Samsung support is horrible, they just joke you, they promise they understood the problem and fix it soon, to reply within 24h, all bull*ts
Con somebody please tell me if I can buy a watch from another brand and have it working on this Galaxy tablet? Maybe through Google Waer OS app? Thank you for your kind answer
