Hi,
Has anyone else had this issue.
If I walk away from my desk leaving the phone the Bluetooth disconnects which is fine.
Then when I walk in it reconnects.
I then find that phone calls are not being shown on the gear fit.
I have rebooted the fit. Still nothing.
I have disconnected and reconnected via gear manager. Still nothing.
Reboot phone. Phone calls now show up again on gear fit.
Notifications still work fine.
Thanks in advance.
Dagaz.

My 3VO has three devices assigned to it, but only one is ever active. I used to be able to use one bluetooth device, then when it runs down, switch, all while not disrupting the call. Now if I switch devices, the call is still active, the switch happens, but I cannot communicate (no voice or sound). To make matters worse, in my X5 I'm having connectivity issues. I would be connected to the car, then every 3 mins it would unconnect and reconnect seconds later. I even went as far as removing the X5 from my list, and still the problem persists.
I will confirm that I have all devices charged, very near the proximity of the phone, and have not DLed any software that would cause an issue.
As I said before, I used to be able to switch devices and not lose the call, now something has changed. I can be on a call and activate a bluetooth device and have it transfer to the bluetooth, no problem, but if I am on the bluetooth, I have to drop the call, switch, then call back.
I have two Gear Fits connected to two non-Samsung phones (Nexus 4 and a Sony Xperia Z Ultra). Both have the same issue where most notifications will not show details, but just a message of: "For details, view this notification on your mobile device."
There seems to be no consistency of when I may or may not get details. Sometimes it shows it for a bunch of notifications in a row, but once it stops working, I have no idea when it might start working again. Anybody else have this problem and any ideas?
Additional info:
Gear Fits on firmware NG2, Gear Fit Manager 1.70
I have the same issue as well and no idea why it happens, I usually try to restart the phone and I think it gets back to working

I used to have this issue. It occurs when the host fit is connected back to the device after any loss of connection. The guy works everytime. Once you connect fit to phone, go to gear manager app, notifications, use the switch at the top to turn off all notifications. Wait 5 sec, turn notifications back on. Will be fine until next time fit disconnects. So repeat with each connection.

Hi all,
I have T-Mobile version connected to Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Sprint version). It seems like everyday I have to fight in order to receive notifications on my watch even though I did nothing but place it in airplane mode over nite or disconnect it via BT over nite....depends on my mood. When I awake in the morning, I turn everything back on and once again, no messages. I have tried turning on/off BT, turning on/off notifications thru gear manager, turning off/on my phone and even uninstalling gear manager and reinstalling it. Have even reset the watch.
Sometimes they start coming after rebooting phone but today nothing I have done will work. Hate that I paid a good penny for this and my Pebble works better.
Anyone else having this issue and if so, what the heck do you do to get it working? Oh my phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance for any help!
not sure if this is a gear fit problem or phone. I got a gear fit for Christmas present. I have a s5 active I also use my radio in the car as my hands free. today while in the car when I received a phone call /made a call the radio showed the call but i could not hear the other person nor could they hear me. until i turned on the speaker on the phone. has anyone had this problem and how to solve this issue need hands free while driving.
question #1 i have gmail account at work is there a way to add that to the email on the watch?
question #2 can you swim with the gear fit on?
thanks in advance for the help
Not sure about your first problem. I use Gear Fit Phone.
#1 - In Gear Fit Manager go to Notifications then scroll down and under "General notifications" look for gmail and check the box to receive.
#2 - Yes, I have never taken it off for swimming and have had it close to 2m below. Note however that bluetooth connectivity thru water is bad therefore unless you want to have the device reconnecting all the time, switch bt off on the device/phone.
I'll try and see what I can expiscate regarding your first point.
Thank you i got the radio issue fixed by unpairing the radio then reparing it again. seems to be working now.
So, I've had my Gear S now for about a week, and LOVE it. The connection stuff has me a bit confused though. I have it paired with an AT&T Note 4. There are a few things I have questions about...
If I reboot the phone, the watch will only connect to Gear Manager remotely. Shouldn't it connect to Bluetooth first? I have to go into Gear Manager and disconnect the remote connection, then it will reconnect via Bluetooth.
Under what circumstances does the phone forward calls/sms to the watch? For example, on purpose, I left my phone at home one day, and went out for a drive. Calls and SMS that were made came from the watch's number. I can't say about the receiving end because I didn't receive anything LOL.
Sometimes, if I go out of Bluetooth range at home, the home wifi will kick in, but repeatedly get a message on the watch that the forwarding function failed.
I'm definitely keeping this baby, but just need a little help in understanding it fully.

With my S5 initially, Remote Connection would kick in after a few minutes out of Bluetooth range. But, when I was back in Bluetooth range, I would have to do what you are doing to drop RC. I had a Gear 2 Neo prior to Gear S, don't know if that was any issue. .I did a factory rest on S5 ( to get rid of root and some other things) , and now watch connects and disconnects to RC by itself and rather quickly. BTW, when in RC, all texts and calls to S5 do come to Gear S. If I were in your shoes, I might try to reinstall Gear on phone before wiping phone. IF you do wipe phone, Gear S will be reset during the pairing process, so you may want to back up your Gear S data prior.
Op. Under settings-connections-mobile network, do you have it set to auto connect? On the phone side of things for Bluetooth settings, gear s contented to phone audio?

Yeah, all that was set, but I ended up wiping both the phone and the watch and everything seems fine now... Still loving the watch... wondering how they'll make the next one better..
