Hello everyone,
I'm having some slight problem with my Samsung Omnia. It's from UK's vodafone but it has been unlocked and everything. Just received it today,
When I tried to make a call with it, the screen shows "Dialing..." and about 2 seconds later, it changed to "Call Ended". This seems weird to me. I can receive incoming calls though, as well as send and receive messages.
I tried to check the network settings and everything seemed fine. Later on, I realized there is a weird icon on the top right hand side of my screen, as shown in the attachment picture. Might this icon be the source of this problem?
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Is the call forwarding working on your ATT S2 3G watches? On mine sometime is working but mostly is not working. It is only working when i force it to work. What i mean with "force it" is i either turn off the Bluetooth connection on the phone or the watch and i watch the steps ... When the popup from the gear manager shows up that the phone is connected remotely, on the popup i get two buttons, "OK" and "Settings". If i press "OK" then the call forwarding works. If i do it unintentionally (really forget my phone at home or in the car), then the call forwarding fails four out of five attempts. Only once i had it forward the calls without me fiddling with settings or popups ... The ATT Gear S was the same way and i had to return it ... I was lucky that time that the manager allowed me to return it after the 14 day window. I do not want to be in the same situation (wait for the 14 day window to expire) and then wrestle with the ATT store manager ...
Any tricks or steps that i'm missing? I'm pairing it with ATT S6 Edge ... I did factory reset the phone and the watch ... In the Gear Manager "Use remote connection" is ON and "Auto call forwarding" is setup with the number of my watch and is ON. If i turn off the bluetooth on my watch, then i can receive and place calls with my watch number, so the watch sim is active ...
As of now, it seems to me that the ATT Gear S2 3G functionally is no different that the ATT Gear S 3G, which was nightmare to get it to forward calls. Just visually improved, but it seems that Samsung didn't worked out the issues with ATT on ATT's backend to iron out the kinks ...
I hope i'm wrong but i have very narrow window to test it that is working ...
I wonder if its an ATT issue, as my T-Mobile version, using a Nexus 6 phone, works perfectly, every time..
its weird that using a Samsung phone you would have issues with that..

Wait for Numbersync to start, then it wont be an issue at all. Gear S2 was supposed to launch with it, but it got delayed a bit. I am hearing next month for the role out. Then you watch will share the same phone number as your phone. Problem solved.

Is Numbersync an ATT only feature, or is that something native to the Samsung Watches?
Wondering if it will be that way on T Mobile also
thanks

The NumberSync-like feature is supported by the hardware inside the S2 3G. In Korea, a similar feature is already being utilized. The USA carriers just need to create & activate such a feature.

thanks, so it will probably depend on how many of the 3G watches get sold; if its not alot, then the carriers probably wont bother activating this feature..

Thanks. I did not know about this Numbersync. I'm afraid that the carriers here will not bother about this and besides that i will not wait for a month. I bought (and then returned it) Gear S because of the 3G modem ... I do not need a always tethered watch ... I bought Gear S2 3G with hope that Samsung and ATT worked out whatever was messed up on ATT's backend. If the watch doesn't have a 3G/LTE modem i do not need it ...
Another return it is then ...
NumberSync is specific to AT&T (it is a network service not a Samsung feature) and will let you use your primary smartphone number for both your phone and Gear S2. Other carriers have said they are working on similar services. It isn't a call forwarding solution - calls are routed to both watch and phone simultaneously and neither has to be powered on for the other to make/receive calls. Also calls from either show as the same caller ID. The call forwarding issue is odd since the commands issued to the network to start call forwarding are the same regardless of you forcing it off bluetooth.
I was having the same issue with my Gear S paired to my Note 5. When they seperated it would be random whether call forwarding turned on or whether they'd reconnect via BT when back in range. The last Note 5 update AT&T pushed out fixed it and they connect/re-connect properly 100% of the time. Here's a workaround I used that solved the problem for a short period of time. Go in to Application Manager and clear data on the Bluetooth app. It doesn't erase your devices or settings it appears to clear the cache. It worked right for a week then I'd have to reset the app again.
Hi,
I have the Samsung Gear S3 Classic paired with a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I noticed two things in my Gear:
1. One is that I am not receiving all notifications in my watch. These include Text Messages, Messenger and Facebook. I read in one forum to reset the Gear. I followed advice but I still get the same problem.
2. Two is that whenever I receive calls, the watch will vibrate, sound, and my phone automatically takes the call. Is there a setting such that my phone would not automatically receive the call?
I will very much appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks,
Noel
When I got my Gear S3, it did what I want: If I answered a call on the watch, it used the watch's speaker and mic. But recently (I'm guessing because of a software update), if it's in bluetooth range of the phone, the watch screen says "check your phone" and it answers on the phone (which is in the next room, out of reach) instead of on the watch. How can I restore the previous behavior? Thanks.
Hi guys, samsung has been useless at helping me with this but recently switched from og GW to GW 4 classic, the problem is I am not getting notified when someone calls me on my watch. After restart it works fine for little bit then again breaks and I get nothing. if I pick up the call on my phone then it shows that its in progress and I can hang up from my watch. I tried googling checking possible fixes but nothing. Phone is connected, I dont have any silent or DND modes. I tried looking into notification settings for "phone" app but there is no such thing. Anyone have any idea? If restarting fixes it temporarily then it cant be any settings right? Phone is galaxy note10 watch is regular BT one not LTE
