Hello everyone,
Is it possible to get some sort of notification that someone is trying to call while my Fuze is tethered on a non-3G network? For example, if someone tries calling, a program on the phone detects the call and notifies the user. Or, what kind of data can be sent while the phone is tethered on a non-3G network? Just SMS? Finally, I have read that as long as data is not actively being exchanged the phone will work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
" tethered on a non-3G network?"
problem is that ever since gprs was invented it haven't
blocked for callers to be received thats why it was invented
apart from it's speed inc over normal gsm data modem
however if ones operator use old technology in their centrals
one get the problem you experience where data block calls
the issue being isolated to your isp rather then your phone
there really is no way for you to get an notification by the phone
as the phone never get any info from the central
personally gprs data never blocked a call or sms for me

I'm on AT&T so all my answer will be as I know on this network.
1) It will ring, hope that is notification enough.
2)All data, it is just like being online on a dial-up connection but a bit faster.
3) Phone works, HOWEVER, if it is not on 3g any calls will interupt the data flow. Meaning if you recieve a call it will disconnect your data connection. Voice overrides the data.
Ok, thanks for the information! I am on AT&T as well with the Fuze and mostly work on the Edge network. I noticed while doing some trial and error that the phone would ring or receive SMS only when data was not actively being transferred. That is why I was wondering if they made or program, or some notification system that would alert an incoming call or text.
I use Sipdroid on my phone and it can interrogate into the phone so when you make a call it automatically calls with Voip over 3g (or wifi). I would liek to know weather it is possible to completely disable making voice/Video calls and texts over mobile network. As i would like to start giving android phones to my employees with data sims because data sims have much cheaper data rates but if you make a call/text its really expensive. And i wouldnt want an employee to accidentally exit sipdroid so when they make a call it doesn't use voip. also I still want to be able to receive regular calls.
Thanks.
Here's the endpoint - I want to have an internet connected device in my hand that can make and receive calls and send and receive texts, regardless of whether I have mobile coverage. As long as it's on the internet, I want to be able to use it as a regular phone.
I'm halfway there.
I have an Android phone with my primary number, plugged in and connected to WiFi in my flat, a good mobile signal area. I can install MySMS on it to handle texts, then the tablet app on the device I keep with me. That's SMS sorted.
What I need is some way of making a voice call over the internet to that handset, and routing that out via my cellular provider. And automatically routing incoming calls over the internet to the portable one, or if I'm making a cellular call, have the caller ID display the number of the phone in the flat.
Basically, I think I want to turn an Android phone into a Google Voice server, just for my use.
Can this be done?
Thanks
looking for the same. have you found something ?
I never did
I just noticed my watch will not receive phone calls when it is connected to the phone through wifi. For example, when my phone is out of Bluetooth range, but still connected through Wifi, I can receive notifications, as well as receive and reply to texts, but calls are not forwarded.
I have the wifi only version of the Gear S3. Not the LTE version.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you have a non samsung phone? If you do then i think thats why because the call forwarding out of bluetooth range works a little different on samsung phones vs non samsung phones.
I do not think that non LTE S3s can receive calls on WiFi. They only pair via Bluetooth for calls. Data is ok for WiFi, but there was no mention for WiFi calling that I'm aware of. That is why the LTE models do standalone mode via cell network.

It should be able to. It says it on the website it need a phone app for calls to work on the non-lte version. My guess is an update will fix that.
Have you turned on Remote Connection in the Gear app on your phone?

Yes, that's on by default.
The picture says requires WiFi and a voice call app. That means some third party app' but not your telephone operator's and voice line from them. At least this is how I would interpret that.

Any update on this, im curious can you receive calls when you are within the bluetooth and wifi range? I asked about the voice call app and never got an answer back. What is this app and where do you download it from?
There's no voice app yet that runs on WiFi and has VOIP functionality, afaik.

But can you make calls if you are connected via Bluetooth at least?

Yes, that part works.
great thanks for confirmation
It would however great if there is at least an option for sending a "missed call" message.
So no bluetooth, because you left the phone in the house a few rooms too far away, but still trigger on the s3.
And also for other messages. I do not seem to get them either.
Tested with just bluetooth switched of on the phone.
When I use the messaging app on the watch I can read them via wifi.

On old Gear S, after BT disconnect, the watch is connected with the phone via Samsung account.
Because there is a sim involved, the Gear app redirect the calls to the watch number but all the notifications, SMS, WhatsUp, etc are relayed to the watch via Samsung account.
This is the part I don't understand in S3 .. if the phone and watch are connected via wifi, why the notifications are missing?
Fine, there is no voice even if they advertised something about a voice app which does not exist, but notifications?
I think i know why the voice call app is not released. This watch has a horrible wifi connectivity issue. I found this bug out and reported it to Samsung developer forum hoping for a fix. While the watch does report "Connected" all the time when you are connected via wifi.
I setup a few tests a foot away from my router without any other devices on the 2.4GHz network to saturate it. I noticed there was constant timeouts, this explained why trying to use the Gear Watch Designer to load a new watch face took so many retries. Sure enough the Wifi connection is anything but stable and worthless if you ask me with the constant timeouts.
A small app that only sends a "missed call" message via Wifi would already be mothers little helper.

BTW I understood that Bluetooth 5 has a far larger range?

Think of bluetooth as a euphemism for "connected at the hip". Whether its a keyboard, headset, stylus, watch, or other gadget, if it works via bluetooth it's only designed to operate within a few feet of the mothership. If you don't want to carry your phone on you everywhere, get the LTE version of the watch.

hummmmm...always a problem somewhere with this watch : or it doesn't work if non stock roms, or does'nt want to connect to samsung account using wifi (but the samsung account says it is !)....a little bit tired about that !!! even if i looove this watch !
I have 2 different WiFi routers. I connected my watch h to one and my phone to the other. I also turned off Bluetooth.
I used a different phone to make a call to my phone, it did not ring but i received a missed call notification on the watch , I could receive sms and whatsapp messages and can reply to them.
The only thing I couldn't do was make and receive a phone call from the watch.
Hi
Have a Watch 5 Pro LTE model activated with an eSIM, paired to a Samsung S21 Ultra.
Can receive calls and have data connection via the eSIM with the phone off/out of range/Bluetooth off.
Cannot send or receive text messages independently.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi, I read somewhere that texts can be sent using the Google messenger app. Does your phone and watch have the same number? If not, does the watch ring when the phone receives a call and is out of BT range?
Have you checked with your provider? Because you should be able to. I will find out tomorrow, once mine arrives.
Watch rings when out of range / phone off etc. Has it's own data independent of bluetooth or WiFi.
Odd development since posting. Have managed to get Watch to send text on it's own but it uses it's own number despite the phone part having the same number as phone. Completely different number.
Completely convoluted process to make it work. If bluetooth is switch on on the watch it doesn't appear to try to connect via WiFi unless you go into the set up and connect to a network. Only way I can get it to send text independently is to totally switch off bluetooth and WiFi on the watch.
Returning the watch and hoping next one behaves better.

Hi.
Check the settings in the account of your mobile provider. vodafone, telekom, o2, whatever.
You can select which eSIM can receive and send SMS-Messages.
I am using three eSIMs and I can only select one eSIM/SIM in total to receive/send SMS with my german provider o2/telefonica.
I guess it's the same with your provider settings.
cheers
Hi Pundy
I only have one eSIM which is meant to be paired with the physical SIM used in the phone. The call and text allowance comes out of the physical SIM account but it has it's own data allowance. My provider doesn't appear to be sophisticated enough to allow the configuration you suggest.
Cheers
I just got the Watch 5 LTE and haven't set it up with an eSIM yet, but I wondered if calls and text work like they work on my Samsung Tablet, the data connection or WiFi let's the phone forward calls and texts with the "Calls and texts on other devices" program. Then it would switch to the eSIM number if the phone was turned off or offline?
