Anyone here using tmo with their S2? when in stand alone are you able to take/make calls and have them look like they're coming from your cell number?
(trying to figure out if tmo screwed my setup)
if you are connected via bluetooth, your calls made from the watch should look like your cell phone number
if you are in "stand alone" mode, with no phone connected, it should look like your watch phone number is making the call
how do text messages from your cell get to your s2 if in stand alone? (just on the s2 number?)
they dont get forwarded to your watch when in stand alone if the text is to your cell phone number, since your watch has a different phone number than your cell..
tmo mislead me then. good times. they told me in stand alone all my calls and texts would use the same number as my ph. thanks for the info.
If you have remote connection on, they do forward.
where do you enable that?
thanks
On your gear, go to settings-call-auto forward I believe will do it
I believe that just forwards calls, NOT texts..
I have mine linked with a moto x pure. Although it doesn't save them in the messaging app, I can reply and read, and get texts remotely
on my nexus 6. no matter what settings I use, I do NOT get texts forwarded to my watch; everything else, like emails, facebook, etc does get forwarded, but no texts..
Mine works in standalone with watch number and with cell number when connected with Bluetooth. When remote connected all calls forward after 4 rings on my cell and all text messages are forwarded. I had to call t-mobile to get it working properly. They said the had to change the way the auto forwarding was setup on the network. I would suggest calling them if yours doesn't function as mine does

On a Samsung Note 5 my text get forwarded to me when I am in stand alone mode. My phone is on Verizon, my Gear S2 is on T-Mobile. When I leave my phone at home (phone is on), my text are forwarded. If I turn the phone off the text do not come through. When I leave my phone on and am using the Gear S2 in standalone (physically separated from my phone), I get all notifications, calls, text, social media, etc...
good news/bad news.
I've got everything working as I'd hoped. I had to trade in my LG G3 and now have a samsung phone. I see more apps in the gear store, and I noticed when I reset the watch, I now have different options in the call forwarding area than i had before. I honestly believe that the watch was made to work with samsung gear only...and any other handsets are an afterthought.
Also, it works on it's own with autoconnect. I turn off bluetooth, and the watch goes to stand alone, and once remotely connected tells the handset to fwd calls/sms to it.
I am straying here from the original issue but I think this is related. I have a Moto X Pure (MXP) on AT&T. I have the AT&T Gear S2 (GS2) LTE. I am going to be verbose with this. Both have unique SIM's, IMEI's, phone numbers. I have successfully forwarded the MXP# to the SG2# when connected over the LTE network. MXP will ring 4-6 times, then roll over and ring to SG2 2-4 times. Voicemail goes to SG2.
I have used the watch's settings and S. Gear app settings to forward/unforward (so I thought). I have recently noticed I am not getting voicemails on my phone (doesn't happen much anyways as I don't get many calls I don't pick up). Odd part is that more than once, the voicemail on the GS2 only pops up when I disconnect bluetooth connection between devices. I have figured out this is likely tied to when the GS2 is connected via bluetooth to the MXP, it acts in headset/handsfree mode and controls my MXP dailer.
When I go into S. Gear app, under call forwarding, I see "Turn Off" as "Deactivated XX:XX". When I push Turn On, I see "a request has been made..." on the MXP and "Request has been made..." on the GS2. Toast on MXP after success is "Call Forwarding, Registration was successful". Turn On shows "Activated XX:XX". Then I push Turn Off, and see "A request has been made...." on the MXP, then a "Call forwarding, Connection problem or invalid MMI Code" on the MXP, and then a "A request has been made..." on the GS2. No error on the watch. Funny is that under Turn Off, it shows "Deactivated XX:XX" again.
Calls first go to MXP, then to GS2 and end up in GS2 voicemail. When to MXP Dailer settings, Calls, Call Forwarding. Interestingly, 3 of last 4 options for call forward show forwarding to the GS2. When I click on any of the 3 of the 4 forwarding, I can push Turn Off. Error toast shows up as "Your operator doesn't support disabling call forwarding when your phone is busy". What constitutes "busy"?...and why can't I turn this off?

UPDATE: I went to the Call Forwarding wiki and used some of the codes to help. ##67#, ##61#, ##62# were used successfully. All is back to normal. I can pick up via the watch, transfer to the phone, reject as needed. Voicemail goes to the MXP as expected. Network really wouldn't let go of the number. I am sure there is a good reason for that but don't get why.
Samsung Galaxy S7 on Tmobile SM-G930T android version 6.0.1
I can make outgoing calls but I cannot receive any calls, they go straight to voicemail
If I restart my phone I can receive calls for a while but then after being locked for a bit the calls next come through. I wake the phone up and even then the call still wont come through until i restart it again.
Anyone know why this happens, it sure hasnt always happened?
No one has any tips on this?
I turned wifi calling on and turned off location and it works every time now.
Not sure why. I hate wifi calling and id like to keep my location on but whatever, i need to receive calls.
I found problem using "Do Not Disturb", custom settings staying in effect even when turned off! Change to "Accept All Calls" and you will be able to receive callers not in your contact list. BUG??

Hello,
I got a Gear s2 and i love it but recently its starting to act bizarre. Randomly when people call me it goes straight to voicemail. It doesn't even give me a notification on my phone that i got a miss call. Sometimes it goes straight to my gear s2 and shows nothing on my phone and sometimes the opposite. I dont know whats wrong with it. has other people been having the same issue? My gear s2 is the 3g version, ATT, and i do have number sync on! All help is appreciated !
Thank you
On the watch, under connections If I turn mobile networks from automatic to always on, the mobile data selection in the same menu branch usually goes green. If not turn it on manually and then things start working. However, If I reject a call using the watch it hangs up on the caller without voicemail. Letting the call ring until it automatically goes to voicemail works. Turning off the Bluetooth also makes things work without the above change, but I think that uses more power and for sure more mobile data from att.
Hi guys, samsung has been useless at helping me with this but recently switched from og GW to GW 4 classic, the problem is I am not getting notified when someone calls me on my watch. After restart it works fine for little bit then again breaks and I get nothing. if I pick up the call on my phone then it shows that its in progress and I can hang up from my watch. I tried googling checking possible fixes but nothing. Phone is connected, I dont have any silent or DND modes. I tried looking into notification settings for "phone" app but there is no such thing. Anyone have any idea? If restarting fixes it temporarily then it cant be any settings right? Phone is galaxy note10 watch is regular BT one not LTE
So I think I may have looked at everything I can about this I don't know.
I can send texts and go on the play store etc when my phone isn't connected to my watch via Bluetooth I just can't make calls. It says emergency calls only.
A few forums iv been on say there is a 'hidden menu' when you press on remote connections in the wearables app but nothing comes up for me maybe it is in conjunction with the 'call and text from other devices ' setting on galaxy phones.
I do have an oppo not a galaxy phone maybe more fool me for getting a galaxy watch when I don't have a galaxy phone.
Any ideas if there is a way around this?
