hi there,
I'm new here and this thread is my last hope.
I have a galaxy s4 m919 and a gear2. after a lot of sweat I was able to connect between both of the devices.
from the beginning i was able to recieve msgs and phone call but not able to perform phone calls from the gear2 itself.
everytime I dial and press "send" on the device there's a flashing msg says "no support on video calls" and it's not making the call.
does anyone know about this issue?
Really Hopeless..

Is the call forwarding working on your ATT S2 3G watches? On mine sometime is working but mostly is not working. It is only working when i force it to work. What i mean with "force it" is i either turn off the Bluetooth connection on the phone or the watch and i watch the steps ... When the popup from the gear manager shows up that the phone is connected remotely, on the popup i get two buttons, "OK" and "Settings". If i press "OK" then the call forwarding works. If i do it unintentionally (really forget my phone at home or in the car), then the call forwarding fails four out of five attempts. Only once i had it forward the calls without me fiddling with settings or popups ... The ATT Gear S was the same way and i had to return it ... I was lucky that time that the manager allowed me to return it after the 14 day window. I do not want to be in the same situation (wait for the 14 day window to expire) and then wrestle with the ATT store manager ...
Any tricks or steps that i'm missing? I'm pairing it with ATT S6 Edge ... I did factory reset the phone and the watch ... In the Gear Manager "Use remote connection" is ON and "Auto call forwarding" is setup with the number of my watch and is ON. If i turn off the bluetooth on my watch, then i can receive and place calls with my watch number, so the watch sim is active ...
As of now, it seems to me that the ATT Gear S2 3G functionally is no different that the ATT Gear S 3G, which was nightmare to get it to forward calls. Just visually improved, but it seems that Samsung didn't worked out the issues with ATT on ATT's backend to iron out the kinks ...
I hope i'm wrong but i have very narrow window to test it that is working ...
I wonder if its an ATT issue, as my T-Mobile version, using a Nexus 6 phone, works perfectly, every time..
its weird that using a Samsung phone you would have issues with that..

Wait for Numbersync to start, then it wont be an issue at all. Gear S2 was supposed to launch with it, but it got delayed a bit. I am hearing next month for the role out. Then you watch will share the same phone number as your phone. Problem solved.

Is Numbersync an ATT only feature, or is that something native to the Samsung Watches?
Wondering if it will be that way on T Mobile also
thanks

The NumberSync-like feature is supported by the hardware inside the S2 3G. In Korea, a similar feature is already being utilized. The USA carriers just need to create & activate such a feature.

thanks, so it will probably depend on how many of the 3G watches get sold; if its not alot, then the carriers probably wont bother activating this feature..

Thanks. I did not know about this Numbersync. I'm afraid that the carriers here will not bother about this and besides that i will not wait for a month. I bought (and then returned it) Gear S because of the 3G modem ... I do not need a always tethered watch ... I bought Gear S2 3G with hope that Samsung and ATT worked out whatever was messed up on ATT's backend. If the watch doesn't have a 3G/LTE modem i do not need it ...
Another return it is then ...
NumberSync is specific to AT&T (it is a network service not a Samsung feature) and will let you use your primary smartphone number for both your phone and Gear S2. Other carriers have said they are working on similar services. It isn't a call forwarding solution - calls are routed to both watch and phone simultaneously and neither has to be powered on for the other to make/receive calls. Also calls from either show as the same caller ID. The call forwarding issue is odd since the commands issued to the network to start call forwarding are the same regardless of you forcing it off bluetooth.
I was having the same issue with my Gear S paired to my Note 5. When they seperated it would be random whether call forwarding turned on or whether they'd reconnect via BT when back in range. The last Note 5 update AT&T pushed out fixed it and they connect/re-connect properly 100% of the time. Here's a workaround I used that solved the problem for a short period of time. Go in to Application Manager and clear data on the Bluetooth app. It doesn't erase your devices or settings it appears to clear the cache. It worked right for a week then I'd have to reset the app again.
Hi. I have a galaxy s10+. Problem is when i am on a normal call and someone calls me on whatsapp, the speaker turns on automatically. I have a nokia 6 and an huawei nova3i and on these devices if i am on a normal call i will get a notification of the whatsapp call after my normal call is done. How do i do the same for my s10+.
I have tried factory reset and it is still the same. I have tried with only whatsapp installed and no other application and it is the same. Need help guys!!!!
Thanks
I have problem with calls with watch and my phone (oneplus 7)
When I enable on watch "Play phone voice call on watch" I have problem with voice on phone. When I make or answer a call my microphon stop working. I hear voice my caller but he don't hear me.
To continue the telephone conversation I must change on phone bluetooth source from phone to speaker or ticwatch then I can return to phone and everything is ok.
When "Play phone voice call on watch" is disable everything is ok.
Hi guys, when someone is calling me on my new Huawei Watch GT 3 on WhatsApp, first it appears a quick notification screen with the contact name and whatsapp logo on top, and under it it says incoming voice call, but after one second that screen switches to another one where it says Unknown number and I have the option to reject or answer the call. How can I fix this issue? I want that when somebody is calling me on WhatsApp to be able to see the name of the contact on the watch too and not just "Unknown number". On normal calls it's good without problems. Thank you!
I have the same issue but no idea how to fix it.
It is working perfectly only if the watch is paired with an....IPhone.
I have same issue
I am having the same issue with amazfit and huawei GTR 3. Is it related to Samsung phones? I am using Samsung S23 Ultra with my watches.
