Each time that a program activates the GPS in my S740 everything seems fine, but after 1 or 2 minutes the phone freezes and I have to switch everything off.
It does it with every program I tried, namely google maps, quickgps, nonigpsplot, sportypal (can't try whereis because I am missing some .net updates).
I tried to deabilitate just about every option I could think of (power saving, other running programs etc) but I can't get rid of the problem.
Does anybody have any idea of what it could be?
Thanks a lot,
Luca
PS: the phone came with Swisscom installation
I have the same problem.
The first time it happened, I had to to a hard reset (even without activating the GPS it would crash after a couple of minutes).
The second time (last week) it was exactly like you describe. Everything is fine until you run a GPS program, which causes the phone to freeze after a couple of minutes.
Unfortunately, I have no solution (yet). I reverted to a BT GPS to avoid the internal unit. Yesterday I managed to use Route66 for about half an hour on the internal unit. I still have to check if it was magiacally fixed, or whether this was a lucky shot.
One question for you: On both occasions, I used the GPSed-application (www.gpsed.com) extensively before the crash. Do you have that program installed by any chance? This might give a clue.

No, I don't have that application.
The phone is less than a week old and came with googlemaps and quickgps.
The only other programs I installed are nonigpsplot, sportypal and whereis (which doesn't work, I think I should update the .net).
I installed them after realizing that the gps didn't work because I thought it could be software error.
So far HTC has recommended an hard reset or to replace the phone as dead on arrival. They say that it is not a known issue.
Just to be precise, the gps gets a fix and everything is fine.. but it only lasts for one to two minutes.
Luca
PS: I sent an email to htc tech support and they replied within minutes, really pleased by their efficiency.
i have the same problem with garmin navigation, sometime.
So, if I understood properly, the Google Maps that were installed when you got the phone was not working?
First of all try a hard reset. I think it could fix it. If not, maybe change the ROM?!
A hard reset seems to have solved the problem, but there are still a couple of things that I want to try.
At this stage I am not sure whether I should change the phone (it's new) or not, I must say.
Thanks!

The gps sometimes does not get a fix. Switching the phone off and on repeatedly seems to solve the problem, but I am not sure of the details yet (didn't have time to test properly).
My feeling is that there is something not quite right, but I've never had a phone-gps so maybe they are just less powerful than normal gps-units and the somehow erratic behaviour is to be expected.
If/when I find a final solution I'll post it.
Thanks,
Luca
Switching the phone on and off repeatedly is not a sollution, imo. I haven't used the GPS too often - in fact only 3 or 4 times, when I was travelling - yet every time I used it, it was on for 1-2 hours. And it worked perfectly. So, the fact the it freezes has nothing to do with the fact that it's "phone-gps".
Hi,
had the same problems a few days ago. Freezing by Using GPS-Apps like run.gps or mcguider. After a hard reset it works fine again.
Have no idea what's the problem behind this.
Lutz
mine also the same. after few hard reset. the gps become like god-mode..
within 1 min.. lock on.. but the device gets abit hot. mine is only 1wk old. i send it back for a exchange. i did request for chaning it to snap. but they say top up is reqired.
i am also using snap now. its a gd phone..
i had this problem too, with mcguider.
The solution for me was the qiuckgps app on my s740. Mcguider works only when the quickgps app is running in the background. When quickgps is not running ill become a freeze in all gps apps.
with quickgps it works very good over many hours!
Same problem
I experience the same problems. I bought the phone second hand, and with both Google Maps and McGuider the phone freezes completely after 1-2 minutes.
What I tried:
- hard reset
- run QuickGPS in the background
Does not work for me Does returning help?
My version: 1.14.404.0, 25/10/2008
It seems to be a rather common problem.
It might be good if everybody sent an email to HTC about the issue, maybe they can do something (patch).
In the end a hard reset was enough for me to solve the problem, no phone exchange, but it's not an ideal situation.
BTW: quickgps (or any other program) had no impact on my issue. It was not a matter of getting a gps fix, which is easier if you start quickgps beforehand.
Bye,
Luca

hello, anybody has solved this problem. I did hard reset several times and always hangs
(sorry for the translation)
Possible solution
Hi
I had same problem. If any application try to connect to GPS, phone freezes after few seconds.
After Hard Reset it was OK, but only until I use QuickGPS. Then it again freeze whole mobile after use GPS application.
My temporary solution:
1.
Erase QuickGPS data. It was in Temp\xtra.bin and Windows\xtra.bin
Erase those 2 files.
2.
Soft Reset phone.
Don't use QuickGPS. Wait 3-5 minutes for GPS fix.
I was wondering what is wrong with xtra.bin. It is downloaded from web server xtra1.gpsonextra.net or simmilar.
At 24-25.10.09 there was time change from summer time [CEST (GMT+2) to CET (GMT+1) in my country]. Maybe it is some dependance between change of time and GPS problem.
Same problem is descripted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577898
Thanks, I just made another hard reset. And put everything I try!

Greetings everyone,
May I ask you for help with my newly purchased 7501. I installed iGuidance 3.01 to navigate with the internal GPS. However every time the iGuidance user interface goes "full screen" the program will just quit. The same program works just fine on my Axim X51v running WM5. I can't think of any reason for this. The software can fix to satellites just fine. It will just quit when going into "full screen", which drives me crazy. Could anyone help me please? Thanks a lot!!!
known bug
hi,
Sorry to tell you this, but this is a known bug with iguidance 3.01. There is NO PATCH to fix this. You have to buy ver 4.0 to to get the "fix" for this problem.
Alternately, you can go back to ver 3.0, but that causes some problems with gprs. I've gone through all this crap myself, and these are the only options.

GPRS is is the cell phone data protocal (internet on your phone).
Thanks mate. I put iG4.0 on it and the problem is gone.
Hi guys,
I've got an issue with my HTC S740 with the GPS
I've got Garmin Mobile XT and my GPS never find any satellite.
On the GPS settings, the GPS is setup on COM4:COM4: (the other choice is COM7:COM7, but Garmin is always setting automatically on COM4)
Even with GoogleMaps, the GPS is not recognize (I mean not signal)
As I cannot change or find the port used by the GPS, do you have any idea to make the GPS running onb my dear Rose ?
Thx
Murray Bozinski
are you in a building?
i had the same problem but after 2 resets it started working again... dont know what caused it but i think it might be 2 apps using the same port?

I already try to reset my Rose, but no success... I also try the "Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings.cab" but the program said "You've got insufficient privileges" when I click on apply...
That's so strange
Ok, I'm getting crazy now...
Here is the summarize of the diffrent tests i've done :
ROM version : 1.14.406.0 (10/27/08)
Inital Config :
Launching QuickGPS
Tried to use the GPS with GoogleMaps and Garmin Mobile XTwith default config
After 45mn outside, no signal
GPSID Settings :
After installing GPS Intermediary Driver (GPSID), i tried to change the baud rate to 4800 (was set to 300) or change the tick box "Manage Automatically". When I click on "Done", I get an error message "An error occured in Settings.exe...". On "Details", i get an NullReferenceException in DoneButtonClicked() function.
And when I try to change the hardware port, i've got another error message : "You have insufficient permissions to map the hardware port"
GPS Test :
Ok, i don't give up, I tried GPS Test 1.04
Hard reset and installed GPS Test
So it found the Port4 as a GPS receiver, but it couldn't get any signal
The first time, it found one or two satellites but the color remains yellow, "GPS Starting up", with "Fix 1D"
So still no signal in GoogleMaps, neither Garmin
Please, I really need some help !!!
Any idea are welcome
IMHO it definitely looks as an hardware failure. Static and under open sky it shouldn't take more than 75 seconds to localize (cold start, without A-GPS). Normally if I start GPS within Google Maps it takes less than 10 seconds to get position.
At least you probably won sad prize having first Rose with HW failure (as far as I know from all s740 related forums which I read).
I had the same issue. Tried GPSID, Google Maps (0 satellites), GPS Test (stucked on COM4)... Nothing worked. (I was always trying it outside for a few minutes with QuickGPS updated. My other phone got the fix within 15 seconds)
Today I master reset the phone, set date, updated QuickGPS, installed Google Maps... Fix within 15-20 seconds.

What's finally bad news (sorry Murray ). For me that means - GPS radio in Rose (at least using default ROM) may freeze and stop responding to OS for unknown reason.
In the best case (a bit funny), it's sensitive to proper time/date/timezone setting...
Guys, I decide to go back to the shop where I bought my phone and they said this is the second Rose they received with the same issue.
So they give my money back and I finally deceided to buy a Palm Treo Pro.
I'm a bit disapointed with HTC (my previous S730 was really bad quality)
Now I'm very happy with the TP
Thanx for your support
Murray Bozinski
i think that this is software problem
my gps disappears too when I change my ROM to Orange Orange_UK_1.17.61.2
previous version works fine with GPS
and there is no any GPS software (like GoogleMaps) in Orange ROM.
So if your ROM is Orange too - this may be ROM bug
I try to change ROM to stock 1.14.707.0 soon
hi all, i had the same gps issue and could not get a fix using googlemaps and some other software amazegps, . i tried several hard resets but nothing seemed to work.
after a few days of investigation i bought copilot 7 from a guy on ebay, hard reset again.... then booted her up. after 5 minutes i had a fix and was being directed down my road.. written on my favourite htc phone so far... s740
Never get gps
My Rose buy in Portugal in November has the same problem. Never get any signal sattelites(fix).
Rose version: 1.14.401.1
Rom data: 10/06/08
Radio version: 0.24.30.24
My first ROM (beta 1.07) was russian with Google-maps pre-installed. GPS works fine
then I try to change it to Orange UK 1.17 ROM. There is no built-in GoogleMaps and GPS doesn't work
I try to use stock english ROM 1.14. In this case there is no GoogleMaps and GPS doesn't work too
Yesterday I found russian rom 1.14 and try it. This ROM has pre-installed version of GoogleMaps and.. GPS works!
So in my opinion there is no GPS driver or something else in some ROMs. But if ROM must have pre-installed GPS software then GPS driver of course exists and everything works fine
I can take link to russian 1.14 ROM to compare it with english 1.14 ROM
Looks like mine works too after a Hard Reset with Google Maps, GPSTest and gpsVP. Interesting...
i work with Garmin XT and Mc Guider and no problem.
my settings is
Port: COM 4
Baud : 19200
GPS on my Rose worked fine after hard reset but I didnt use the phone for few weeks, installed some new software and then it stopped working once again.
Fortunately I was able to fix that just changing the port number and restarting.

Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy
My question to HTC Customer Service:
GPS radio in my HTC s740 freezes and stop responding during undefined time. For example, when I use Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile 5.00.20w GPS works, but suddently it writes: "Awaiting Better GPS Accuracy" and stop responding during undefined time. Google Maps have this problem too. Hardware reset cannot help, may be it's ROM software error? My HTC Rose have СЕ OS 5.2.20279 (Build 20279.1.3.4), Radio Version 12.23.30.06H_0.24.30.24. Rom version: 1.14.402.0 (25.10.2008). Send me please ROM upgrade or specify another method to resolve this problem. Thanks!

My answer to HTC Customer Service:
The same problem with GPS also have some my friends (s740 model seller: Latvia Mobile Telephone, www.lmt.lv ). You can find the same problem at internet forums, for example here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465564 May be it's a global problem for all s740 phones (hardware or software)? I know, that new models of HTC Rose have new ROM, for example: RUU_Rose_HTC_RUS_1.14.411.1_Radio_sign_12.23.30.06_0.24.30.24_CRC_Ship Can you help me more seriously? It seems that we haven't a HTC local customer in Latvia. Thanks for answer.

Hard reset do not resolve this problem. It's ROM or hardware internal bug (see my post to HTC support). Try to change GPS COM port to COM8: (for exampe, via Resco Registry):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver
\Multiplexer
DriverInterface = COM8:

thanks, will try it tonight after my phone is fully charged....I welcome the updated builds....again, thank you.
Any other known issues ?
Hello friends
Looks this beta rom.. good, if some one has flashed to device checked any other known problems ?
CAN we install third party applications on this rom..since it is clearly mention beta rom?
Thanks in advance
ok, so I went ahead flashed the rom: I will update this post as I go along
on 1st boot (orange windows screen) I got an error message from network wizard: "there was a problem setting up network"....when the phone is fully booted it can't seem to find my phone service....I think I will have to flash again...
usually this problems comes in when the phone is using the wrong network BAND and all it would take for me to do is to switch the BAND back to the ones my phone company use
phone>>options>>band and change it there....but I can't find band in phone settings......
EDIT: I tried hardresetting to see if it would pick up my network but that didint' work so now I'm re-flashing. the ROM seems ok so far speed wise.
EDIT: I did a reflash it still didnt' pick up any network, I also changed radio from 1.58, to 1.57 and still nothing....
EDIT: I can't change the band, I use the 850, 1900 bands for both GSM and UMTS but I can't change it to that
sorry guys for not getting back sooner, work been taking over. will be attempting to port a later build tonight, and will revert back to fixing mentioned issues if it doesnt go to plan.

I am using ervius's kitchen, with a dumped wm6.0 build with the sys and xip from the x7510 kitchen, however I am in the process of trying to port build 23045 over to our devices, but still need to do some flattening of modules as I cannot get it to boot at present and I believe this is due to using to much of the slot 0 memory in the 6.1 kernel.

If you can bear with me I am hoping to get the new build to boot tonight and I will check the band selection etc, am hoping it will be fixed due to much newer build. If not I will try changing some of the modules from the original x7500 dump and swapping them into later sys folder in the hope of fixing bugs.

I am just hoping I can find whatever is stopping me getting a bootable rom, I think the new layout in the 23xxx builds would be really nice on the athena
for all interested, I have just managed to get a 23409 build to boot, am just trying to see if the previous bugs have been fixed.
If anyone wants to try it and help me beta test, let me know and I will upload
Fixed in new build:
Power Icon - Fixed due to updated build drop down top bar
Bluetooth - I can search for and locate other devices, bluetooth led works, but no icon on top bar
Band Selection - I am able to set up network on first boot* also am able to go into /settings/personal/phone/band (new build supports side to side screen swipe to switch tabs)
*On first boot an error comes up "problem with database" its something to do with the network setup however my device located my sim card provider and configured phone service and data connection.
I would love to try it out.
I would love to try it out. The first one was actually super smooth and fast. I just could not turn on the bluetooth. Hope this time bluetooth will work and I can pair with my headset. Thank you very much for your great work.

**on 1st boot I couldnt' see the band tab in phone settings, it showed up after I did a hardreset, I was then able to set it to gsm 850+1900 bands, now it's picking up my carrier's network.
**the dialer seems to be messed up in portrait mode....so I use Advance Config to disable it and all is good
I see that you've included .net CF in this rom which is good.
**the Microsoft My Phone is in two different locations: in the main program list and in settings.
this is a fast rom, i havent had any freeze up yet or met up on any show stoppers yet...
**the bottom bar is hidden in some programs like winrar and total commander
EDIT: there's no link to get to input settings.....I can't get to register my touchpal keyboard.....
I also had my 1st couple of freezes, I think they have something to do with the WiFi because they all happend when I'm using it and the device goes into standby mode: using IEmobile with WiFi and the device went into standby, I had to soft reset. the other I can't seem to replicate but it caused my phone to hang on start up showing the orange windows mobile screen with the notification bar.....I had done a number of changes to registry and other parts so those could have played a role in the freeze up.

Im considering trying this ROM. Been using all AP ROMs. After i tried some Michys. Now I would like to try the one from AstianHellbring but it's taking quite long to being released.
Is anyone using this ROM with day to day use? Thanks for your replies.

The only thing I can suggest is that you look at the bugs/issues and see if you think you can live with them, and then try it if so.
Please remember this is a new build of windows as well as only the second rom I have ported and released, and was only first booted last night.
On the plus side I find this very quick and stable from my short time with it, faster than my blackstone running a build from the same com arm.

Will look into the network wizard errors, not sure what they are but doesnt seem to affect anything
Glad your able to choose your carrier band now
Dialer in portrait I will look at too
Micrsoft myphone, in progs and settings - This is not my doing, it seems to be that way from m$ my blackstone is exactly the same
Bottom bar issues I think are caused by the extra 18pix to put all new buttons etc. Not
much I can do as this is part and parcel of the new UI
Input settings, if you tap and hold on the bottom keyboard button when keyboard is out it will pop up a small input menu.(will look into this as well)
I have not suffered any lockups/freezes as of yet and have used same combination with ie and wifi
Hi Guys just wondering if this is common problem for the S740 ?
I was using my phone today with Mcguider I saw some bars pop up trying to get lock then since that it says hardware error and freezes the phone if I attempt to go into mcguider and the same occurs when I try google mpas with GPS.
Just wondering if this is a freak hardware failure or common fault so time to get a different model like HTC HD2.
thanks in advance.
Hy!
No its not an common problem......the GPS from Rose works still great for me...i´m using Sygic and Google Maps and all works perfect.....I think you should try to Reset your Phone....maybe an Software-Problem....or if you have to much money buy a new Phone... ;-)
I had problems like this in the past.
Had the same error this weekend and I think it has something to do with the QuickGPS data. I deleted the xtra.bin in the \Windows folder rebooted (did not redownload quickGPS data) and waited for a regular fix and it didn't hang on using GPS after that.
When I had this error in the past (2-3 times a year) it just worked again after a while without me doing anything. Thats why i suspect the QuickGPS data as it times out after 7 days.
I have the same issue,
Whenever trying to use a gps program the phone locks up. I tried reflashing the WM6.5 rom again but still no luck. But i'll try this quickgps thing.
Anyone know where I can find the gps settings? (it's com4 ?)
Thanks.
after removing the quickgps it no longer locks up the phone.
Thanks!
Garmin XT & Google Maps & Bing all work with the gps now!

Thanks I did reset the phone and now it works once again so I guess it is a common issue.
Nope I don't have too much money I just want a phone that works perfectly for all my gadget needs and up until this point it has been perfect shame they are not making a new model it appears that the candybar phone is getting less and less popular
I am having the same problem, i tried installing Sygic mobilemaps 10 and when i come to the language selection screens the phone wont respond to anything, it will launch the gps quickfix application in the back so i think it has something to do with that. resetting the phone does nothing. problem remains when i install sygic again. Anyone an idea ?
Hy!
Okay i don´t know about QuickGPS....i make the Update via Wlan manual and its disabled to download automatic when Navi runs and i had never probs with Navi on this phone...for me its the best phone i ever had...
...and it sucks that HTC doesn´t make a new Version of this phone....
to Renever:
Sygic MobileMaps10 works with Rose? Look here...
true its an great phone..... i will try old mcguider 2009 on it again.
I use the 2009 Version and it works Great for me on Frauhottelmanns 6.5er V1.00 there is no need to Upgrade to sygic v10...... "Never touch a running System"....;-)
well i received a message that my trial has expired on mcguider 2009 .... so thats why i figured lets try the new version....
Hi everyone!
I just bought the Redmi Note 2 phone and the Zeblaze Crystal watch and after connecting the watch to the phone I found out that the contacts can not be synchronized. I have my contacts synched with Google and Mi accounts and also on both SIM cards but for some reason the watch can not see them. Everything else is working - I can read my SMS, call cogs etc, but the contacts can not be seen by the watch.
Later on I tried to connect the phone to my car and it connects and works fine - I make and accept calls but again the contacts can not be synched. The car has a very good Bluetooth settings menu and a specific function for contacts downloading but when I try to download the contacts after a few seconds it stops and gives a "not possible" message. I can only download the call log... Just like with the watch...
So I am starting to believe that it is a problem with the phone - maybe something with the MIUI settings (MIUI ver. 66.77.33.00).
With my wife's Samsung phone everything connects just fine and the contacts are synchronized immediately to the car or the watch so its really a problem with the phone.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
There is no such thing as MIUI ver. 66.77.33.00. You're probably running a bogus ROM filled with who knows what. Legit versions are something along the lines of 5.x.xx
But I've also read there is a bug that breaks contact synching via bluetooth and it doesn't seem to be fixed in the dev rom, yet. Can't really test it, don't have BT in a car or a smartwatch.
Developer rom name:
Y.M.D
Y = Year (2015 -> 5)
M = month
D = day
Stable rom name:
V.x.x.x
V = miui version (for example miui 6 -> 6 or 7 > 7)
x = some subversions
Resellers rom name:
VV.x.x.x
VV = double miui version (for example miui 6 -> 66, miui 7 -> 77)
x = some subversions
~ Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime ~
Crim Soukyuu: Thanks for your answer...
I am getting really confused - I am posting a screenshot showing the MIUI version and some other specs. The phone is really not behaving bad but there are some apps that I want to get rid of and I can not.
If there is a better clean ROM for this phone I may think about flashing it...
Please see the details on the screenshot and let me know what you understand out of it... I am really not too much in the MIUI/android versions...

" delirium Rom"
Ive got no Problem with that
@ratab: your version is rigged so that you will never get any official updates (simply because there won't likely be a MIUI v66 in the next decade). It might not behave weirdly on the surface, but you can never know what kind of spyware might be hiding in the background. Just flash a clean EU ROM and be done with it.
I had the exact same MIUI version on mine, so you're not alone. It was full of junk and a virus scan revealed two trojans. False positives, I assumed, but removed them nonetheless. The amount of junk on this phone beggars belief, so I'm glad I never hooked it up to my email or anything like that before getting a custom ROM.
It seemed like a completely legit version of MIUI, though. Got mine from gearbest.com.
EDIT: Oh and yeah, I haven't been able to sync contacts to my car either (Mazda 3). It seems to be audio only.
Thanks everyone for the support. I am really thinking about flashing the latest EU ROM - I will just have to read a bit more about flashing because really like the phone and do not want to loose it too soon doing something wrong during the flash...
Need some help in choosing the correct ROM for that phone...
I followed the link that Crim Soukyuu gave for a clean EU ROM - Multilang Dev MIUI v7 ROM - v5.10.16 but when I followed the download link there are two options - MIUI 6 and MIUI 7. And inside there are number of different files for downloading and I do not know which one to take. Would someone please help me with choosing the correct one?
Thanks!
You'd have to do something terribly wrong, like purposely pulling the battery mid-flash to hard brick the device. Even flashing a faulty ROM usually still allows you to boot into fastboot and flash a working ROM from there. I've had a few softbricked devices (recoverable from fastboot) and no hardbricked devices (not recoverable) so far.
edit: huh, sorry, didn't refresh the page before posting. You should get the newest release, namely 5.10.22 as it's reportedly has better battery life. So far it's been a good version for me.
As for MIUI6 vs MIUI7, take the 7 one. It has root built in and is the newest version of the ROM, while the 6 is the old stable one that doesn't have root, afaik.
edit2: oh and our device is codenamed "hermes", so you need the xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_5.10.22_v7-5.0 one
Thanks for the prompt reply. I found it and already downloading...
Is there any how-to procedure to follow - I am really afraid of doing something wrong...
I also think the phone is not rooted and I will have to root it first and then flash the new ROM.
Then probably put it on the SD card and flash from there...
If you're on windows, you can try using this tool to get TWRP installed on your phone (don't have to unlock the bootloader). Boot into it (press vol+ repeatedly after turning it on) and allow modification (otherwise the mi recovery will delete TWRP on reboot). Then just wipe the phone and flash the ROM you've put on your SD card. It has shown me an error the first time I tried flashing the ROM, but after rebooting into TWRP once more it worked just fine.
Thank you very much for the assistance - flash done and all problems gone - the phone shares all contacts now...
Looks fine for now - I will need time to check the MIUI 7 but seems to be OK.
Thanks again!
Good stuff! I ended up flashing mine with the sAOSP ROM and got a fully working bluetooth sync with that :good:
So far so good - the phone acts really well with the new ROM and battery life is much better.
I have another question regarding the Bluetooth connections...
I was able to pair my phone to the smart watch (Zeblaze Crystal) and to my car's Bluetooth and successfully synched the contacts.
Using the car Bluetooth is simple and easy - the only issue I have is that the phone is dual SIM and when I try to dial from the car the phone always asks which SIM to be used and eventually after a few seconds the dialing is interrupted. I can always set one of the SIM cards to be the default dial SIM but then why having the two cards if I cannot chose which one to use. Unfortunately there is no option in MIUI 7 to assign a SIM to a contact and the phone will always ask and wait for my choice...
Same case when dialing from the smart watch so at the end - no remote dialing from a Bluetooth device without touching the phone... If anyone knows a good way to solve this issue please share!
On the other hand I have a different issue with the smart watch. When connected, the watch overtakes the phone function and during a call the audio goes through the watch (funny). My natural desire is to transfer the audio to another Bluetooth device (headset or earpiece) so I can operate my calls/messages/notifications from the watch and hear the audio from the Bluetooth earpiece without taking the phone out of my bag.
The problem is that when I disable the phone audio function for the watch connection and enable it for the earpiece the watch also looses the control/notification capabilities - it just stops notifying me about the calls and messages I get.
There are three options in the Bluetooth menu that allow me to use the watch for: Phone audio, Media audio and Input device. If I disable the phone audio it cuts also the notifications and then no meaning of having the watch at all...
Any idea how to set the three devices (phone, watch, earpiece) to work simultaneously???
Thanks!
