When I answer my a phone call with my actual phone, the audio comes from the watch. Is there a way to use my gear2 to notify me about incoming phone calls but use my phone to answer them. Samsung Gear 2 paired with HTC One M8.
EDIT: I know how to change the source during phone call but it uses gear2 as a default device, is there a way to change that?
Hi. Ive just added the $5 wearable plan to my account, but calls are not being forwarded to the Gear S2. I have set the option in the app on my S7 Edge to forward calls when remotely connected. Here is a summary of what happens:
Devices connected via bluetooth: When I call my phone line, both the phone and Gear S2 ring, and I can take the call from either
Gear S2 in standalone mode: When I call the Gear S2 number, the watch rings
Devices remotely connected (bluetooth on phone switched off): Gear S2 says it is remotely connected, and that calls are being forwarded. However, when I call my phone line, only the phone rings rather than the Gear S2
Can anyone help resolve this issue? Both the app on my phone and the Gear S2 have the correct number for the watch. I have logged the problem with T-mobile and so am waiting for tech support to get back to me. It seems unlikely that this is a problem with the device since everything else works, and is more likely to be a network issue
Thanks
You have 2 differents phone number ?
Call forward works with 2 SIM and 2 differents phone number. You forward your phone Number to the Gear Phone number.

I have 2 different numbers: 1 for the phone and one for the gear. I have set the Gear app to forward calls, and the gear confirms that calls are being forwarded when in the remote connection state. But no calls are being forwarded - thi is my issue

If you call are forwarded your phone do not ring. If it ring, it mean that call are not forwarded.
Try to find the UUI code for forward call and tap the code on your phone app dialer pad, or use Android phone setting to forward your call. Gear app use standard code for forward but this do not work with all operator. Forward call is an operator feature and not related to one specific app (Gear manager or other)

Sounds like you have t-mobile correct? If so the phone has to be on for the phone to forward calls to the watch. If the phone is off it will not work. The way it works is if you get out of bluetooth range it will forward calls to the watch
Yes, I'm on tmobile and the phone is on. Even though I have call forwarding set in the app, maybe there is a setting on the network side? I don't want to have to manually enter codes each time I want to forward/ stop forwarding so hopefully I can resolve the issue and just use the setting in the Gear app. Thanks

well there is a setting on the watch to turn call forwarding on. Maybe you should try that but other than that i would call t-mobile thats all i have turned on and it works
I have a personal phone on Tmobile and looking to get the S2 activated to get calls from my personal number. Do I need to have the watch synced to the phone on Tmobile for this to work? I also have a work phone on AT&T that I would like to connect to get Hangouts notifications on the watch if possible and not connect to my Tmobile phone.
I have T-Mobile and recently went ahead and got the service for my Gear s2 watch. In the Gear Manager app I turned on call forwarding and indicated the new phone # of the watch and all calls forwarded to the watch if I don't pick up my phone. I don't see the field there to call forward to 2 different phone #s. You can install Gear Manager on AT&T phone(if it is Android) and make it your main phone, then enable call forwarding to your watch . Before you do the above, you would need to do "light reset" of the watch in the settings to be able to connect to another phone. <- in all of my cases, it was required when I wanted to connect my watch to another phone.
Oh I didn't know the watch has its own phone number and that the calls needed to be forwarded. I guess I thought wrong that the watch could be stand alone using my same number.

I'm connected to my Android phone via Bluetooth, no problem. My watch has started to default back to my phone when receiving calls after just one ring not giving me time to answer. It didn't use to do this. How do I get it back to normal number of rings on watch before going to phone\VM?
H!
All the call I make or receive are directed to my watch instead of the phone (Huawei G7 stock).
I've already tried to remove the audio profile from the BT settings on my phoneonly to get the watch disconnected.
How can I fix this annoyng "bug" (I thinks is not a feature )?
