So, I just got a brand new Gear S yesterday. I have it paired to my Jabra bluetooth earpiece and it shows connected to call audio and media audio. However, when someone calls me and I answer the call from my watch all of the sounds still come through the watch itself and do not go to my bluetooth. Am I doing something wrong or is my bluetooth not compatible or whats going on here? Does anyone have any thoughts on this or ideas for me?

Under BT settings, if you select your headset, then the gear icon, is "Call audio" checked?
I don't have my watch yet, so I may be very wrong, but here's what I understand:
There are really two phones here, the watch and your mobile phone. Both will pair with the headset individually, so for example when using the watch without the phone you can use the headset for the call. Your phone will also connect via bluetooth to the watch and to the headset. So if you are using the phone and the watch and the headset all together (i.e. watch is not in standalone using its own sim for a call) then your bluetooth headset should be connected to the phone, not the watch.
There are some bluetooth headsets that can connect to multiple devices simultaneously. I'm not sure if yours is one of them (although I bet the gear circle should do this well).

Yes, call audio and media audio are both checked. Maybe I'll connect the Bluetooth to the phone today and call myself and see what happens. Any other ideas anyone?

I have paired my sgs2 with my bluetooth car kit. Phone calls etc work perfect, using my car's speakers and microphone. However, when i try to use the satnav on my phone, or start the Voice Commands app and it says "what would you like to do?", the audio comes out of my phone's loudspeaker rather than my car's speakers!
Is anybody else having this problem? Or is it working fine for other users?
I am using a Parrot 3200LS. Here is a screenshot of it's bluetooth settings on my phone:

On google people mentioned that there should be 2 checkboxes, Phone and Media, but i only have Phone. Is this what is causing the problem? Is there any way i can fix this?
Thanks

EDIT: I found the answer to my own question. Apparently my Parrot 320LLS does not support A2DP, which is required to play the navigation, music, etc sounds through the car speakers via bluetooth!
Hi, just wondering anyone able to get phone call with bluetooth headset. I was able to connect bluetooth headset successfully but when making call, i can't hear the voice from other party. But playing music was ok. Someone pls help and confirm. Just wondering is my root and rom problem.
in addition, calling using viber can use bluetooth headset without problem.
Thanks alot
Once you have paired your device, long press it in Bluetooth settings then select options and select 'Tablet' for phone calls to be sent to it.
Tablet = Phone audio
Media = All other audio
So has anyone figured out how to use a bluetooth headset without root
Were you guys actually able to get it to pair and connect to the headset profile? not just the "media" profile?
I don't seem to have a tablet profile but I'm sure that's because I am not rooted (Evo View 4g)
Hi, as the title says, I want to connect my BT headset for telephone conversations and nothing else, like music, notifications etc.
What I could do with ease with Galaxy S2. Now, with the lumia, I am on Bluetooth settings and it displays
Jawbone ERA
connected voice, music
I want to connect only to voice and not music. It sends all the sounds to BT and i experience battery drainage in both.
Is it even possible to do it?

Just tested it with Sennheiser MM100 - works. When it says "Music, voice connected" both should be connected and work.
Thanks. I am interested to connect only the voice and not the any other audio and music. Is it possible to connect just the voice like I can with any android?
I just tried, I can not find a way on removing the individual profiles. All or nothing I guess. Do you run music to something else (maybe a by speaker) while the headset is connected for calls?

No, but I have problem with excessive battery consumption on both headset and handset when they are BT connected and all the sounds are sent in the headset.
Well I confirm this has been fixed with the latest connectivity update. Now I am connected to my Jawbone ERA only voice (no music, audio etc) and to my Jawbone JAMBOX music only. It may took a month or so, but better late than ever.
After having a few issues with my Gear S I thought I would share some tips in case others have an issue. Please add your own tips to help others.
Set up email on phone (S4) but Gear S does not vibrate on email, but does pop up. Other notifications vibrate ok.
Turns out that if you set the notification on the phone to none (in samsung native email client) the Gear S will not vibrate. Even if phone is silent and you have chosen a melody the Gear S will then vibrate.
If you have a BT headset connected to the Gear S it will only work when the phone is connected remotely not by BT.
If the Gear S is connected by BT and you answer on the Gear S the audio will route through the Gear S and you cannot use the BT headset. If you answer on the phone the audio will route through the phone.
Two Possible work arounds
1. Buy a multipoint headset and connect to phone and Gear S (I havent tested this but should have a new headset arrive today so will update)
2. Permanently forward calls to the Gear S phone number but does mean you have to have the GSM from auto on and off to always on. (So far no noticeable battery drain from this)
Hope this helps out a few others.
Thanks

Thanks you for the notification tip.
Regarding the BT headset case, there is also a scenario where the BT headset is connected only to mobile device and the the device is connected by BT to Gear. Then if you opt to reply or initiate a call from your Gear, you just tap the small icon on the bottom left corner and you keep on using the BT headset although you originated or answered the call from Gear.

How do you do this scenario. Every time I try to answer a call thru the watch the audio goes thru the watch and not the bluetooth headset. LG tone pro 750 is multi point

I use a "single" point BT Sony BT headset (MBH20)
I have paired it only to the mobile device (Samsung Note 3 Neo)
The mobile device is paired to the Gear S through BT 90% of my day
When I either answer or initiate a call using the Gear S (through the Note 3 Neo SIM), I get a small icon, at the lower left screen of Gear S, depicting a headset.
If and when I press this icon, the voice which you correctly state that "...goes thru the watch..." is transfered to the BT Headset. So I do not have either to reach for the mobile device or to go on with the "audio which goes thru the watch".
I have not tried to use a multipoint BT headset. I will do it later and tell you how it behaves.
The only, very annoying, situation that I have not managed to sort out with this watch, is how to terminate a call either initiated or answered through the watch. The initially available phone screen, making available the green (CALL) and red (END CALL) icons, disappears a few seconds after I initiate (or answer) the call through the watch! There is no watch gesture to make it again available. I need to reach for the mobile device to terminate the call. Any tips on that?
It worked for me for a long time and now I changed my phone with the newest android software but it will not work anymoore. The watch and the phone are ringing but when I`m answering the call via watch the phone speaker starts ----
Where do I have to change it - zenwtachmmnager or ?
Thanks
On the watch, go to settings, then Bluetooth, click on the "play phone audio on watch"

when i go to settings i dont see a bluetooth option listed.
It's right under WiFi, see the picture.
If you connect in the car and have multiple Bluetooth headsets, auto Bluetooth connect from the play store is a godsend to help prioritize connections. I can now turn on headsets and connect to the car and the phone will route accordingly. Before the ZenWatch didn't want to give it up so all call audio would go to the watch
