Ok, first of all I know this is going to sound dumb. The other day when I'd get a text message my phone would tell me with a voice that I've received a message and who it was from. Now it's not doing it. It just started doing it then stopped after a few days Did I turn off a setting or something? I'm stock rooted with Google now and wallet. Any ideas?
That's either driving mode or you messed with the accessibility settings. It's more than likely that you activated Driving Mode which is the notification bar and is very easy to tap accidently.

Yup, probably driving mode (although I don't know what driving mode is supposed to do other than announce texts/calls)

yep, that was it. Thanks
I'd also like to know why they have put in a separate switch for this.. shouldn't it be incorporated into the dock mode?

Because not everyone has a dock for their phone when driving.
I had this happen to me when i pressed anything while in chrome. I guess it was "Missed It!" interfering or something. Weird.
Hi!
Is there an app to mute and turn off vibrate when I lock the device? My phone is my primary device, connected to the same accounts and I would like the tab to only make noises when I unlock it. So far I didnt find a setting or app for this. Could you help me?
Try tasker or locale

Tasker worked like a charm, but I will search for this silent sleep in the afternoon, I'm guessing it uses less resources since it's more specific
Every time I'm on a voice/internet call, screen doesn't turns off and my ear/cheek extends notification bar. Even more, phone performs some actions from notification bar(deactivates WiFi, go to settings, Bluetooth, Aeroplane Mode). It becomes annoying and I can't find a way to fix this.
Any suggestions?

Thanks , but the sensor thing is something completely new to me. I'll try to figure it out.

I'm on TMobile. And I just got an update for the always on display. It now has the option to show notifications on the on the screen. I clicked this on the settings but I'm still not seeing the notifications. Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes tge new update for s7edge has some new features, but unfortunately samsung exceeded the third party notifications, i don't understand why, doesn't make sense..
Try this
Settings - Lock Screen & Security - Other Security Settings - Notification Access
Turn Always On Display to ON, the update didn't turned it on by itself.

Is there an option for this in Gear Manager like on Android Wear? I just got an S3 for Christmas and I need this functionality for my job. I don't want to open it if there isn't an option like this. Any input will help. Thanks!

There are several ways to keep the watch silent. It can be put in Do Not Disturb mode. You can control notifications passed through from the phone. You can set the various volume levels to 0 or vibrate only.
Download SoundProfile app and use location tasks to set phone to silent or vibrate when gear s3 is connected by Bluetooth and normal when disconnected. Works great for me.
This guy wants to silence the phone ringing noise, from his watch on an incoming call.

I want the phone to not make a sound at all like on Android wear. When my G watch R is connected to my phone, my phone automatically mutes. It's a setting built into Android wear.

Put the phone in Do not Disturb mode. Or leave the phone in your locker/desk.

If the phone is in do not disturb mode the watch won't get notifications.

Then silence the phone. Don't assign sounds to notifications. Set all the volume levels to zero. I've never seen a phone that couldn't be setup to not emit sounds.

Doing all that defeats the purpose of having the option. I dont think you understand. Doing all that means I have to undo all of that when I don't have my watch on. Android wear is just smarter than tizen I guess. The watch will just go back!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
OK, another option is to create a Tasker script to automate the process. Lastly, the Frontier LTE can operate when remotely connected to a phone, notifications pass thru even if the phone is miles away, if you're not suppose to have a phone, leave it behind and just wear the watch.
But if you don't see the usefulness of the S3, then by all means return it and spend the money on something you want.

Of course it will, at least with a Samsung phone. My S7 Edge is set for DND right now and I'm still getting email and text notifications, phone calls, and notifications from other apps. The phone doesn't make a sound.
Watch is gone now so I'll never know. Thanks for all the answers and advice. Mods you can delete the thread.

Old thread, but FWIW, Tasker is a really easy way to take care of this, as noted.
I do believe it SHOULD be part of the Gear S3/S2 capability to do this natively (choose which device to have audible notifications on when they are connected) but w/Tasker you can set up a couple of profiles/tasks in just a few minutes and have the same result. I've got Tasker Profiles for when my phone is connected to my cars/watch at the same time (max phone volume) and for when my phone is only connected to my watch (set phone to vibrate).
What I don't have is a way to set my Gear S3 to silent when the phone is set to max volume when in one of our cars...I can't control the watch volume settings from Tasker AFAIK. But that's only when I'm in my car so I can live w/that.
This option should be native to S3 since they have both LTE and non-LTE most Smartwatches are capable of doing this such as the Apple Watch and Android Wear its just Samsung's Tizen refused to implement it. Im pretty disappointed with this watch.

Is there any way you could share what you did in Tasker? I am looking for this feature, but not sure how to write it up.

I switched from Android Wear to Gear S3 as well and found no option for that even using tasker (just cannot find a sound profile in tasker that works for Samsung for total silence, only got "vibrate").
Finally, simply choose the silence stock profile in the drop-down Notification panel. Sure you need to resume it (can be done by tasker for this) but that's the life for Gear S3. Nothing to do with Tizen but developers from Samsung.

I understand what your wanting to do. i own a Huawei watch and in android wear there is a setting to silence calls, Notifications on the phone itself once set for either or both. and when you place the watch on your wrist the phone automatically stays silent and your watch vibrates or rings .. (what ever you have it set to do) i have mine set to vibrate. so no matter where i am or in a meeting i never have to worry about the phone sounding off. its a very nice smart feature. i have LTE S3 Classic due in today... I hope it can be done with that as well.

Its a shame its not a built in option. I agree with OP. I have no time or desire to learn how to use Tasker. I've tried before and just didn't get it.
Your last comment is unnecessary and not very helpful. We don't use devices in the same way so users look for solutions, especially where they exist elsewhere.
Reviving this post again. I just bought a Gear S3. I come from Apple's world: iPhone6s and Apple Watch 1. I switched to Samsung S7 Edge because I do think it is a better phone than the iPhone 6s, and I bought a Gear S3 because I really used my Apple Watch and, added to this, I prefer the Gear S3's design.
Anyway, I am VERY used to the fact that when I worn my Apple Watch, the iPhone got silenced (and not only silenced, actually the notifications only arrived to my watch if I remember well), and when I took off my Apple Watch, the iPhone was active again. That is a BASIC for a smartwatch in my opinion.
Well, I have read this thread, and many others, and I did the Tasker trick, but, correct me if I am wrong: it does not get even closer to the desired behaviour. I mean by this, the phone is muted if the watch is DISCONNECTED from the phone (BT wise) which is not what I want. I want the phone to be muted when the watch IS NOT WORN, but it is still connected (when you take off the Gear S3, it does not disconnect from the phone).
Did I miss something? Is it possible to do it with Tasker?
I cannot conceive that the guys from Samsung would not implement such a basic feature, I mean, come on: just detect the "worn" status (which they already do anyway for other purposes) and offer the option to mute the phone.....come on, you can do it guys
I think you all missed post #3.

I am using the soundprofile app and it works perfect! As soon as my watch connects to the phone via Bluetooth, the phone silences and for example, when I turn off the watch, the phone goes back to normal sound profile.
You can also use different sound profiles related to where you are (based on geo fencing). I am a fan of this app, works super!
Yes, it is absurd that we have to use a 3rd party app for this, but hey, at least it works.
