As a new S3 classic owner, after coming from a Moto 360, I have a ton of questions. Probably the most important one is this:
I'm used to using the watch to say "call {john smith}", and have the phone place the call. BUT, is there a way to NOT route the call audio through the watch speaker? I wear hearing aids that are also bluetooth headsets and that's where I'd like to route the audio unless I'm driving, in that case use the car. I have a S7 edge and while there are settings for my headset and car for call and media audio, there is not for the gear s3. Is there an setting somewhere to allow me to place calls with the watch and have the call audio routed to my headset (or car)?
Or is the answer to return it and get an android wear watch? I'm still within the 14 day window at best buy. I like the hardware features of this watch, but Tizen is making me a little crazy because I'm so used to the ease of android.
Thanks for any information.

Maybe Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > BT Headset?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs
The key in my OP is that there are settings for the headset and car in bluetooth connections for call and media audio, but the only choice under the gear s3 in bluetooth is to disconnect, which disconnects everything. That means I CAN"T say 'call {whoever}' and have my phone make a call.

Does an app exist that will allow me to use my Android handset as a bluetooth headset for another phone? Use case: my hated work Blackberry in my pocket rings, and I'd like my Desire to mute what I'm listening to, alert me that the other phone is ringing and let me use the Desire to pick up the call.
Get a google voice and both phones will ring. You can seperate contacts to recive different voicemails just in case you don't answer in time that way nobody knows the difference. All your work emails will still goto the blackberry. The only difference is you can answer from both phones.
Actually I have a similar request. I have a motorbike and a navigation set on it. To this navigation set I can connect a bluetooth headset.
What I would like is using my HTC Desire as a bluetooth headset, since that is already in my pocket. Then I could just put the phone in my pocket, earpieces in and connect to the navigation system without the need of an additional bluetooth headset.
Any ideas? Is it even possible technically or does the phone need to have some special bluetooth profile for this to work?
+1 for an app like that. Would be awesome to connect my android device to my stereo and use my mac to stream audio to it!
I am very interested in this too as I would like to connect my phone to my pc and make phone act like a bluetooth headset so I can sit back and watch movies at night .
Hi!
I noticed (wasn't really hard to) that calls made from cars using stock Hands Free systems dramatically lowers sound quality on the listener's end. That is totally common, even in high end cars, although in those cases it is (a little bit) less annoying because to better soundproofing, but generally issue remains the same: no noise cancelling. It kind of strikes me, how can a tiny bluetooth headset have that feature, and $100k car not have it.
I pair my Galaxy s5 with my Subaru car audio system to play music via car speakers, but making calls and repeating every word 5 times is an utter misery for both sides of the conversation. Using unpaired phone or bluetooth headsets like Jabra is the only way i can make calls from my car.
So:
The question is, if there is a way to use phone's noise cancelling feature (third party apps?) for the calls while paired via bluetooth with my car's Hands Free? Can my phone process sound from my car's mic?

thought about maybe getting a bluetooth headset?
Very Clever! Thank You!
My next question is: how can I pair 2 bluetooth devices to my phone at the same time, so I can make calls on the BT headset and listen to the music from phone on my car audio without switching between them...
Just to clarify...
I meant connected. I know I can pair multiple devices with one phone, but there can be only one active connection at a time, am I right?

yes unfortunately you are.
to the best of my knowledge you can only have one active connection
Hi all, expecially developers,
I need and app which can manage default device while taking phone call.
1. If i click to phone's screen to take a call, I must talk through phone. (Bluetooth headset must not take the call, or even my car)
2. If i click to my bluetooth headset when my phone ringing, I must continue to talk through my headset.
3. If i am in the car, some body called. If i click the car's screen or button to take the call, I must continue to to talk through car's speakers.
4. While i am talking through car, if i click to headset, Headset should take the call (Some times i have many people in the car and need to talk privately)
5. While i am talking through phone, if i open headset, or touch it if it is already opened/paired, headset should take over the call.
All above features already deafult in ios but not in android.
If somebody can make this app, I will be the first customer. I am sure that many others may buy.
Hello
When I have my bluetooth ear buds connected, I only want audio/calls coming through.
I don't want notification sounds (like a new email or chat message) coming through the ear buds.
Any way to do this?
I use Bixby routines as well, so if the solution is through routines, I can.
Thanks.
What about Separate app sound in Settings and set these apps to have notifications only on the phone, not in the Bluetooth ear buds?

sort of would work but not really
for example, I don't want to hear incoming notifications for whats app
but if I select whats app to play through phone only, then I cannot hear voice messages or videos received in whats app
In Goodlock's Sound Assistant, the reverse option is there. Play alerts through headphones only.
I want the opposite.
I've been wanting this feature for ages, but for a different reason.
Every time I'm in my car, or other vehicle, my phone connects over Bluetooth and I hear NO notifications, unless the car head unit is streaming using the Bluetooth.
So if I'm just listening to radio, the notification audio seems to be sent over Bluetooth and doesn't come out anywhere.
There really should be a notification manager that sets the rules or something.

When connected to bluetooth and Android 13/One UI 5, I can control output of sound between phone or bluetooth but thats with apps (like whats app, youtube, chrome, reddit, etc etc).
I know it sounds pointless, but still sounds neat and probably has its uses somewhere.
I want to connect my Bluetooth headphones to GW4 and re-route my Redmi 11i Phone's audio to the GW4 so that both audio outputs can be heard by one Bluetooth headphone.
Cause when I have connected my Bluetooth headphones to my phone and make a call from GW4, it will direct call audio to the watch (as the call was made from the watch), and when I switch audio from WATCH interface it will switch the call audio output to PHONE SPEAKER and Not the BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES I have connected to the phone unless I change that from the Phone itself.
So basically to avoid using the phone to make a call, I need my headphone connected to GW4 to get all the media/call audio into my Bluetooth Headphones. And the watch needs a Bluetooth speaker connected to play YouTube music ONLINE.
So ONE BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES = PHONE's + WATCH's Call/Media audio outputs heard.
You gotta hand it to me for thinking this. Please provide some solution. So I just an app to direct my phone's media (General audio) output to my Google watch 4 and I will connect my Bluetooth Speaker to the watch. I can accept ROOT solutions too, I'll just ROOT my phone IDC.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. I use Bose Buds and if I am listening to music from my phone and make a call initiated from my watch, it DOES go to the buds. Not sure if this is an issue with your phone or just the settings, but mine work as you would like.
