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?

Whatever car app I am using on my S6 it will open BT but not autoconnect to my htc stereoclip bt receiver in my car. I have unpaired and re-paired many timed. The only solution is to shutdown the bt receiver and restart it, why is the S6 not connecting by itself when the app ask it to?
Sent from my precious
So very annoying. There's an app called bt auto connect, try that. It only worked for me occasionally, but maybe you'll have better luck
Galaxy S6 (Verizon)

Tried it but nothing changed, the only way to for my S6 to connect is doing it manually or to turn off-on my BT receiver everytime.
I ordered NFC tags but I wished there is a fix.
It looks like samsung TW is forbidding auto-connect for a weird reason
I can't find a pairing mode. The Gear App does is seamlessly with the phone and IconX but need to pair it directly to the watch.

Use Bluetooth to exchange data or media files with other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
1. From the Apps screen, rotate the bezel to *Settings.
2. Tap Connections > Bluetooth.
• Bluetooth: Turn the Bluetooth feature on or off.
• BT headset: Search for Bluetooth headsets and connect them to the Gear.
Note: The headset can be only used for playing music on the Gear.

I've done that but it doesn't see the IconX. Is there a setting on the IconX I need to put the IconX into?

Have you done this?
Insert the earbuds into the charging case, close it, and then take out the earbuds.
Put the earbuds in your ears to enter Bluetooth pairing mode.
If the earbuds do not connect to a mobile device within three minutes, Bluetooth
pairing mode will be deactivated. To enter Bluetooth pairing mode again, insert the
earbuds into the charging case and close it. Then, take out the earbuds and put them
in your ears.

Perfect. Thank you!
Does any one know if the iconx earbuds can be paired up with the gear fit 2? That is
Does any one know if the iconx earbuds can be paired up with the gear fit 2? That is, may I stream music from te gear fit 2 to the iconx via bluetooh? Thanks!!
the real question should be, does the iconx connect to multiple device at the same time or only one at a time. now i cannot figure out how can i switch from the mobile to gear s3 as it seems it only connect to one and every time you want to switch you should go through the whole hassle of pairing it again from the box.
I'd be happy to just pair them with my Tab 4. Kind of sad they take something as standard as Bluetooth and cripple it, requiring an app and not allowing it to do a basic dumb pairing on anything Android. My tab 4 can see the IconX's. I put them in pairing mode but they won't pair unless it opens the gear app. But the app doesn't see them.
I honestly don't get it. A $150 pair of headphones can't pair to a tablet. Samsung says the Bluetooth profiles are not compatible.
Coming from the Galaxy S8, I was kind of disappointed to find that the Pixel 2 apparently only connects to one Bluetooth device at once. For example the phone will only connect to my car but not my headset at the same time as the S8 did. I like having that because when you don't want to take calls on the car speaker you can just send the calls to the headset without much issue. Is there anyway to get the phone to connect to multiple devices? Any mods that are available to get it working?

I've not figured out a way. In fact, as of the 8.1 update it made my bluetooth worse. When I connect to a BT device, rather its my headphones at the gym, or my car, I have to dial something and hit "dial" on my dialer. When I do that it makes the hangining up sound and then is free to be used for other things. Quite frustrating, really. :crying:
I had my p2 connected to an aftermarket head unit in my vehicle and set it to media only, connected to my Bluetooth ear piece for calls and shared my internet via Bluetooth to my PS vita at the same time. You just have to play with settings for each device.

I have wondered if its an issue with a mismatch between the two bluetooth devices.
It looks like this has been addressed somewhat in Android P. I am running the beta that was released yesterday and the device is now connecting to multiple bluetooth devices. There is a quirk that requires you to go into the bluetooth menu to change the current active device (Think it might have been like that on the Galaxy too) but it does maintain the connection to multiple devices now. It does automatically switch when you turn off one of the devices, such as your car, so this is definitely progress on this front I think.
I have a Galaxy S9+, Gear S3 and a 2018 Jeep with Android Auto. Every time I unplug my S9+ from the car's USB port (which breaks the Android Auto connection) the Bluetooth connection between my phone and watch is dropped. I then have to manually reconnect my phone and watch via the Gear app on my phone. Highly frustrating.
Anyone else have this, or a similar, problem?

Yes mate, having exactly the same issue, got a new Kenwood in car system and now my gear S3 and S9+ looses Bluetooth connectivity every time I get out of the car and have to manually reconnect them each time.... Really annoying!!!
I have a similar issue. I have a S9+ and often when I'm connected to my Sony AA head unit, my phone loses it's connection to my watch. Sometimes this happens immediately after AA launches. Often I will have to reconnect my phone and watch 3-4 times during my 1 hour commute. It also happens sometimes when I'm connected to my Bluetooth headphones.

I think I am having this problem too! I couldn't figure out when it would happen but this makes sense.
Hi All, does anyone know how I can get sound for my phone calls going out or coming in, my Bluetooth works fine with my music, but not calls??
I Have the Land Rover Freelander 2.
your type of car doesn't matter here.
What type of head unit is installed?

Does your phone show up in the phone app on the head unit? Like is it linked for contacts and whatnot?
Check the BT security settings in your phone for the specific connection.
Check which protocol is used for BT call audio and and which audio channel
