Hi @Reza WM, yes you can receive calls on your watch, without going through your phone.

Before root i was able to hear a caller announcement of the caller id. The actual
name of the person calling me was sent thru the bluetooth. As in "Jeff" is calling
would be announced.
I rooted my phone and then it just announces the caller id number.
Does anybody have this same problem. I Unrooted I think to the stock ruu
but have no idea what kernel or software number it was.
I took the phone phone back and said that it was defective.
The service rep and everyone else there said they never heard of such a thing
Then i told him to pair my bluetooth with his TB and he was like holy **** thats
kick ass where did i get the bluetooth?
He then listened to it with my phone and just the number.
So i got a new phone
Now if anyone is wondering what bluetooth, It's under $20
(LG hbm 570) says it has caller announcement on it and it does work.
Here is my question is there a way to keep that caller announcement
working with the root.
When rooting what is it that would do this.
Is there a way to keep the same software version maybe?
Or the same kernel or what would i have to keep the same?
I need this so when my phone is downstairs and im upstairs and someone
calls i know who is calling.
I'm so use to name announcement when i had my omnia i910 yes omnia
it worked on.
I have no clue who's number is who.
Any help or info would be great.
thanks in advance

Anyone?
Or at least if i root what can i use so i don't lose caller announcement
Can anyone tell me what i need.
Like should i root with stock kernel or rom?
Anyone , is it even possible.
Does anyone else have caller announcment on there phone?
It is kick ass. If your not by your phone but have bluetooth on
and in ear you know whos calling you.
Or maybe an app that would do this?
Hey everyone. Picked one up today with the cancelation of the Urbane. If you have any questions let me know. I will try my best to answer them.
Also, for anyone who has one already is there a browser? I did a Google search and came across a shady website for UC browser for gear. Did anyone try it or use a different one?
no browser at this point
would you really want to browse the web on this thing??
I can't seem to find YouTube notifications. Is there a way? Also, is there anyway to auto call forward when disconnect from the phone?? Thanks.

in the Gear app on your phone, go to settings/call forwarding/turn on and set it up there
as far as youtube notifications, there isnt a built in way to get youtube notificiations at this point

Thanks. I see in the settings where I can turn it on and off manually but not an option when if I am disconnected from my phone it will auto turn on.
I guess an easy fix for the notifications is to turn on email notifications for youtube.

for me, it seems to automatically switch to "solo" mode once I am far enough away from the phone, so I get calls made to my phone on the watch, and calls made directly to the watch as well..
Can you pair the Verizon Gear S2 3G with another phone not on the Verizon network? I know you would buy the phone at Verizon and set it up initially on that account, but could you then pair with a non-Verizon phone. I use a Verizon phone personally and a US Cellular phone for work and would like to pair the watch with my US Cellular work phone.
it can only be paired to one phone at a time, and, I would guess that when paired to the US cellular phone, you wouldnt get things like call forwarding and anything cellular related to work
Is the Verizon version using number sharing? Are you sharing your phones # with the watch or are you getting a separate number for the watch?
The T-Mobile version obviously you get a second number for the watch. You can use separate carriers to mix and match your phone/watch setup. I have a work phone that is set up on Verizon. My family is on a T-Mobile plan. I added a $5 smart device to my family plan last year when I had the original Gear S. I have since upgraded my Gear S to the S2 4G model. All calls are forwarded from my Verizon phone to the T-Mobile Gear S2. It also works great as a standalone device when needed.

I had to get another number but sync my phone number to my watch through BT or Remote connect.

Thanks for the answer, so you can have a phone on one Carrier and have your Gear S2 on a different carrier. I have done this with my original Gear S and now my Gear S2. The Gear Manager software really just does a seamless forward of your calls and text to your other phone number which happens to be your watch. It doesn't care what network it just sends to a number.
would it be possible to buy this off amazon or something then use it as just a bluetooth/ wifi watch? Because i want the bigger battery and the GPS but don't want to take the calls on my watch.
Yes you can, that's what I do, but updates are still coming from Verizon, that means they come months after everyone else

I'm planning to buy a Gear s2 watch. I want to have the ability to make phone calls straight from the watch. Would it work if I bought a watch with the 3G but make phone calls straight from the watch using just bluetooth? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there any way to make phone calls directly from the gear s3 without using Touchwiz or Samsung phone?
I mean using like a Oneplus 3T or Cyanogenmod?
I don't think so, for now Samsung is blocking it trying to keep the advantages for the Samsung phone owners.
? I dont understand. I have a US classic gear s3 and it makes and receives calls just fine. I dont have the messenger app though but I do have samsung pay
btw I use a nexus 6p
I have a frontier gear S3 LTE T-Mobile and I can confirm that yes, you can make and receive calls from just the watch when setup with a non-TouchWiz non-Samsung phone.
I have a nexus 6P.
I have the gear S3 LTE on AT&T with an iPhone7 and I can make and receive calls on the watch.
The Frontier LTE can make and receive phone calls and texts straight out the box, without ever being connected to any phone whatsoever. It is a phone by itself (albeit of limited capability compared to today's smartphones).
Im thinking of grabbing one of these up but have a couple of questions. Im on tmobile by the way
1. can you use one number because it can be a task giving out two numbers?
2. If you are using one number, if your phone is off will it show the watch number or the watch number?
3. If your phone is dead/off can you receive text/mms/calls if someone is calling your phone and if you reply will it show your phone number or watch number
wow..no input on this? I have googled but cant seem to get a concrete handle on it
I think it depends on the carrier. I'm on Verizon and the other day my phone died and calls rang through to my number on my phone on the watch. I haven't done a test yet to see if I call from the watch when the phone is off what happens. I'll see if I can do that for you and let you know.

i would def appreciate that...i think that is the biggest blind spot dealing with these lte watches how they work
So I did a test. With the phone in airplane mode and wifi on the watch turned off, I could make and receive calls on the watch as if it were my phone. Texts though came from the watch number.
In looking at the number share FAQ on Verizon, it states that to send texts you need to have the phone connected to a network. I know if my phone is on and I am connected via LTE on the watch texts show as if coming from the phone.
Not sure on other carriers how this works. Hope this helps.
My experience withGear S3 LTE and ATT
I have an Essential that I purchased at Best Buy and brought to ATT to sync with my stand alone Gear s3 LTE. My gear has it's own number, and I wanted it to sync with my phone as advertised, so I can have one number for both devices. The rep told me that it is not possible because I used an unlocked non-ATT phone. They claim that for it to work, the phone must have at t software on it. So now I have two phone numbers. Oddly enough, when I use the Bluetooth connection option, I get no notifications. When I use standalone, I actually receive notifications from my phone, but when I respond, it is from my watche's number. It's a mess. I still think it's possible, but finding a rep that can fix it is the difficult part. Every time I deal with at t, I get different answers from different reps about most everything.
