So I didnt know they where carrier dependent...I got a AT&T s2 I use xfin on Verizon so im sure mobile data wont work but in reality I dont use my mobile data as i am on wifi all the time....
So my ? is will the watch still get and send texts and or calls over Bluetooth connection to s8?
And if im on wifi will everything else work decently?

Yes, everything will be working fine. Other than using the watch as a standalone device. So it will relay on your phone. As long as your watch is connecting through Bluetooth. Then you can use the watch to send text and making calls. Etc

Do you have Spark in your market? Might take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715529

Wouldn't matter the market.
Tri-band Sprint phones can't have data & voice, unless you're on WiFi.
When VoIP gets around it won't be as big of a deal but I doubt that happens with VoLTE while this phone is around, probably in another year or 2 on those phones.
Has anyone noticed the loss of Internet connection when you are on a phone call? I just got my Note Edge on Verizon and I can not be on the phone and use the Internet or anything else that needs a data connection. And the notification panel shows I no longer have a 4G-LTE connection but instead it shows 1X when on a phone call.

The note edge doesn't come shipped with that function.
Well that kinda stinks. I have got used to that function from my previous phones, the Note 2 and Note 3. Not to mention I always made fun of a buddy of mine that uses iPhone and he has never had that function until he got his new iPhone 6 (maybe the iPhone 5s). Oh well, guess I will have to make do.
That's the way it's supposed to work for now. You just have to hope and pray that VOLTE eventually comes to your area.
don't feel bad. us sprint users have the same problem. i think the gsm phones do it but cdma doesn't
Whats funny is my Sprint Note 3 was able to do VOLTE. But not the Note Edge.
Only thing like that now is if your connected to Wi-Fi you can use surf the web and talk at the same time.

I'm having the same issue on verizon. This actually sucks cause I used my Internet and talked a lot on my note 3. Is this something that can be fixed with an update or no?

Does anyone know if the note 4 does the same thing?

yes the sprint note 3 was a different lte. it wasn't a spark device. all phones that use spark are like that. no voice and data at the same time. funny how the "better" things that we move to don't always seem better
I found out if you go to settings then advanced calling and subscribe to advanced calling you can talk and surf the Web at the same time without WiFi.

Yeah noticed that too. Coming from a HTC One M8 I was really disappointed in that not working ;(
I've also noticed what seems to be antenna issues, wifi drops A LOT! and blue tooth cuts in and out in my truck.
Not sure if it's software or if I need to swap out for a new device due to faulty hardware.

I believe that's a carrier specific option.

Go to advance calling in setting. Click the button to on. Then go to your app drawer. Make sure My Verizon signed in. Power off your device. Turn your device back on. Make a 1-800-call to try it out. Problems fixed
I don't understand why Verizon does this. But they do. And to give you heads up. If your on the phone and surfing the net. Your going to eat more data. Your voice calling. Becomes data calling.. And this will only work on 4g.

I have a question that I have not been able to find the answer to. I want to purchase a s2 3g but use it as a wifi bluetooth watch. I want the bigger battery and gps. If i were to buy it from, say, amazon, would i have to activate it on the carrier to use it, or could i just use it just like the normal s2?

i believe the answer is no you do not need to activate it on the carrier but you will not be able to forward calls as far as i know.
Cool thanks. I don't want to call forward just want the watch.
It'll work fine thru Bluetooth as long as call forwarding isn't turn when you set it up. As long as you don't turn that on should be golden

Works fine.
I've got the 3g AT&T version. Check Best Buy site, Found mine with No contract for $149.00! (Yes I think it was a error on the site!) Anywho, the watch gives you the option to set up the phone number but without the SIM being active it will not save the settings. Everything else works fine via the bluetooth connection including the speaker-"phone" from the watch during calls.
I really like it, but kinda miss my gear live... just wish tinzen played better with android like my gear live did.
Anyone know IF WiFi calling can be enabled on the Verizon network? I know it's enabled through my carrier (coming from Pixel 3 XL)
I am very interested in this as well. Have zero cell coverage at my job, but amazing wifi coverage.
That and a way to do wifi texting, but I think I may have to dig around for that one.

i think WiFi texting is tied to WiFi calling they really handicapped the device on Verizon's network. All it can do is essentially make and receive calls...
I know the T-Mobile version can on T-Mobile, but it's there anything that keeps the unlocked version from doing it on T-Mobile? I may switch if that's the case.
I love this phone so much I may have to switch to T-Mobile.

I did figure out a way to 'make' the option appear using a newer verizon of the Oneplus Logkit apk...(dial *#800#, pick Oneplus Logkit>Function Switch> VoWifi Switch). But after enabling it, it doesn't seem to work yet, and it somehow seems to break MMS if it's on. Not sure if they are actually working on it or not, but I wish someone could see if they could get it working. I think I got the APK from here, but I can't remember from where, so whoever you are, I'm sorry for not crediting you. If someone wants to mess around with it...by all means.

Install the Verizon Messages (Message+) and you should be able to do wifi texting. I tried the log kit as well and it doesn't seem like VOWifi is working but it is hard to tell. I can make Wifi calls using Google Voice and that number but only if not in Airplane mode. Seems to be a bug as it says to turn off airplane. Voice then proceeds to make a wifi call. Maybe the same effect with regular VOWifi where it would use wifi if there is no cell signal.

I actually switched to t-mobile, and voice over wifi, wifi texting and all that showed up and work great. Message+ does not allow wifi texting on Verizon on this phone, tier 2 support said development phones (that's what the OP7 is certified under) are not eligible to use advanced features on the network, including, voice over wifi, video calling and text over wifi using Verizon messages.
I got text over WiFi to work with Verizon messages + and use Google Hangouts over WiFi for the calls. Decent enough work around.

It does not. Used my OnePlus 7 Pro for a couple of days and no WiFi calling.
I have the LTE version of the GW4. When purchasing I assumed it was identical to the bluetooth version. It appears that there is a difference besides the LTE radio. When I am connected via bluetooth all is great. I can get my calls on the watch, as well as make them. If I am remotely connected even on same wifi, everything works, including text, but not phone calls. From what I can gather, this is not the case on bluetooth version watches. Ive tried everything. I will get a missed call notification few seconds after the originating call hangs up, but no ringing on the phone, and if I initiate a call from the watch it wont go through, unless connected via bluetooth. Guess my question boils down to, can I chaange the firmware to match that of the blutooth version. I do not have a mobile plan attached to the watch, as my carrier charges $20 plus tax for wearable.
Thanks
Watch needs a plan is why.

If not using a plan you should get the Wi-Fi only one.

I already purchased the watch months ago. My question is a firmware question. Can the LTE version be flashed to the Bluetooth version firmware.
Thanks
