I have a pair of Sena SMH10 motorcycle intercom headsets and they are both paired to my Galaxy S3. However, it appears that I can only have one active at a time. Is there any way around this? I'd like to have both headsets hearing music, nav voice, phone conversations, etc.
I have a bluetooth headset for calls and music, and previously I used to pair it to the phone. Now I cannot do that because the Gear 2 needs to phone pairing, so I have paired the headset as media to the phone and then paired the headset to the watch.
However, when the call comes in, it doesn't direct it to the headset... does anyone know if this is possible?
My Gear 2 is connected to phone audio and my head set is connected to phone and media audio. When a call comes in is answered with the phone is goes to my bluetooth headset. If answered with the gear 2 i can push the bluetooth symbol that shows on the watch and it transfers to my bluetooth headset. This is with a Note 3 stock.

I am using GPE, so non Samsung TW. If I try and pair my headset to Phone and Media, the Gear 2 disconnects from bluetooth
There is an option to pair the headset to the watch, but that doesn't seem to do anything either
/Edit: I have the LG Tone HBS-730 if that helps and the S4.
My bluetooth headphones have frequently been disconnecting from my S7. I discovered that this could be caused by having two bluetooth devices paired with the phone (especially if one is an Android Wear watch). Once I unpaired the watch, my headphones worked.
Hope this helps.
thats total BS. I'm glad I started looking at these kinds of posts because Android Wear + BT headphones is a combo that I run all the time (on a S6 no less....)
Hello.
I have a trouble when Gear S3 (Frontier) is connected to S7 Edge via bluetooth and I also want to connect Jabra bluetooth handsfree. Connection is switching from Gear to Jabra during call.
Is there a way how to keep Gear connected but disable handsfree function?

In ur phone. Go to Bluetooth settings, select gear s3. Then turn off phone audio or something similar.

When I do that it disconnects Gear at all.
To be clear: in BT settings in phone there is only 1 option to set: voice and media transfer. Ther is no option to keep "data connection" but disable "audio transfer".

Hmmm I don't have this problem. I have to hit the Bluetooth icon on the watch to talk and hear on my Bluetooth headset. If not I have to talk and listen thru the watch. My watch is paired to my phone but not my Bluetooth headset. The headset is only paired to my phone
Maybe I described problem wrong. I'll try once more:
- Gear is connected to the phone via BT
- I would like to call with my Jabra handsfree
- Without any problem I can connect Jabra to phone in the same time (Gear and Jabra is connected to phone)
- When I make a call, voice/sound is switching from Jabra to Gear (because Gear can work as handsfree as well as Jabra)
So I'm asking if there is a way how to:
- keep Gear connected to phone (to receive notifications etc)
- but disable handsfree function in the Gear
- and use Jabra as handsfree only
You should see a Bluetooth icon when the watch is dialing out press that. For as long as I had my gear s it's been you have to manually press the Bluetooth icon
I'm not dialing from Gear. I'm dialing from phone. But sound of call is switching from one handsfree (Jabra on my ear) to another (Gear on my wrist). And it's same for incomming calls.
Hmm I see. I Don't have this problem everything goes thru the Bluetooth automatically when I dial or answer from the phone. I have both Bluetooth options checked on my headset and the call audio unchecked for the gear s3. I am using a samsung galaxy s6 edge plus ,lg headset and the gear s3
Gear stays connected when you uncheck "call audio" in BT settings? My not.

After you unchecked, the watch became "Samostatny", which means it is disconnected from your phone.
YES!!! I KNOW THAT!!!
The point of this thread is a question:
CAN I STAY BLUETOOTH CONNECTED WITHOUT AUDIO/MUSIC TRANSFER?
I got advise to go to BT settings in the phone and uncheck "audio". But it disconnect Gear totally. I can't receive notifications etc. But it is exactly what I do want to:
To stay connected but without audio option. Because it causes malfunction of my Jabra handsfree.

it is disconnected, then how can it be "stay connected"
Someone has understood how send a call from gear to headest?
i've tryed different model of headset, but the result is the same.
It's possible that's depends from the phone (Nexus 5x) and not from headest?
I hope who no need a Samsung smartphone for a basic function like that.
This is what you want?
Keep notifications on the gear S3 but not using the calling option.
I have the same problem when connection to my car kit. I can switch it manually off without loosing the notifications on my gear.
Strange that you can't.
But what I would like to know, is it possible to use this setting, calling audio no-notifcations yes, as a default. Can I choose this somewhere in settings?
Thanks in advance
My setup: Gear S3 Frontier [connected to] Galaxy S7 [connected to] vehicle.
The Bluetooth audio going from the S7 to the vehicle will crackle when my Gear S3 Frontier is also connected to the S7. When enabling airplane mode on the Gear S3, I will immediately hear the audio quality get better and the crackling stops.
Is the issue with the way the S7 is handling multiple Bluetooth connections? Or is there some sort of interference with the vehicle?
Same issue here with S8+ and Gear S3 Classic.
Multiple cars and same issue. Airplane mode quickly resolves it, but I would like to figure a way to not turn my watch off this frequently.
I don't have any Bluetooth headphones, but that may be a good step to further identifying the root cause of the problem. I haven't ever heard the crackling from my Bluetooth speakers so at this point I think its related to vehicular Bluetooth systems. My Bluetooth speakers aren't that great though so i may just be missing it.

I just tested a song with this little Bluetooth adapter that I have (http://gadgetunit.com/2017/03/29/mini-bluetooth-audio-receiver-for-3-5mm-audio-devices-video-review/) and indeed noticed the crackling. The song I used was "Seasons" by "The Veer Union" as the first 30~ seconds has very noticeable crackling. The moment my watch enters airplane mode, the crackling stops and the fidelity improves.
I'm leaning towards the phone that's being the culprit. What I might do is test watch + car connectivity with a few other devices I have around (Galaxy J7 on Android 7.1, Idol 4S on Windows 10 Mobile (not wanting to test features, but just need the phone to connect to the watch and a vehicle / speaker / headphone)).
