Ringtones get cut off and sometimes play choppy for incoming calls on my gear s. Has anyone experienced this problem?
Yes I have experienced this as well, it's annoying and I dont know what's causing it
What I did was set the phone to go to voicemail in five rings and the watch to go to voicemail in ten rings.

How did you do this? I have T-mobile. I tried to change how long my phone rings before going to VM but now the phone and the watch don't ring long enough.
Simple...

Call T-Mobile from you Cell phone, ask to have 5 rings for the main phone and 7 rings for the watch.

I've had the Galaxy S2 for about 2 months now without any problems.
As of last Friday, I can't receive incoming calls. People who try to call me hear one beep and then they get my voicemail.
Outgoing calls work just fine, as does SMS (incoming and outgoing).
I've put my T-Mobile SIM in another phone and then it is able to receive a call. Another SIM in my phone -> same problem: no incoming calls.
So I figured it must be the phone.
Customer support has started an investigation but that can take up to 1 week, so I thought let's ask XDA.
Can it be a simple setting that I've accidentally changed? Pretty often when I take my phone from my pocket, the screen is unlocked so that could be a cause.
If anyone has a clue or an identical situation, please let me know.

Does your phone ring when a call comes in and also does it go straight through to your voicemail?

Straight to voicemail. But I've figured it out after 3 days
There's an option to automatically block all incoming calls in the settings. Must have accidentally been activated when the phone was in my pocket.

In my case, the phone does not ring when I get a call at all. I have searched hi and low and I cant find a solution. I have rebooted, i have reflashed, I have changed my ringtone and nothing seems to work, please help!!
Hello my girlfriends SGS 2 has almost the same problem it cannot receive calls sometimes even though she can call everyone. The problem seems to fix by itself sometimes and it appears random.
I read that there was a problem with the samsung galaxy s when using 2G/EDGE connection with data activated and the problem was that the user could not receive calls randomly.
Can you confirm that you are using 2G/EDGE connection and Data activated? I am also trying to find the cause of this problem...
Hope my research helps good luck and waiting for your reply. (http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...eive-incoming-calls-and-sms-while-using-edge/)
Later EDIT ---
She also has a vodafone provider but i have the same provider and never had this issue. Also no call filtering is done.
Make sure Call Forwarding is Disabled under Settings- Call- Call forwarding. And also try to delete the Voicemail number if you had set any.
Regards.
it's nothing Call Forwarding is Disabled related it is because of EDGE connection you can't have a sync or internet connection and while "dialing" data receive calls if you want to call anyone the network prioritizes and let's you dial whoever you want but it is not the same thing for incoming calls
^ Went over my head !
had the same problem in a bad 3g/data coverage area. solution was simply to turn data off and the calls started to come through.
turned data back on and now working ok.
Does anyone else have a problem with their Google Voice not actually ringing through to their phone?
Mine's been doing this for a while. If you call my Gvoice number, it rings like it's forwarding to my phone, but never actually has an incoming call for me. Then the caller gets sent to my Gvoice voicemail.
I saw on another page that changing your number fixes it, but I'd rather not do that. A lot of people have my current number.
Any suggestion is welcome.

This happens to me about once every 3 months or so. I don't know why it comes, but it usu fixes itself within 6-12 hours.
I show no missed calls, but I do get he text notification that I received a vmail
When I receive an incoming call, my ringtone only last approximately 5-10 seconds. Can I adjust this?

Does the phone stop ringing because the call ends (i.e. goes to voicemail) or because the ringtone just stops playing? If you can't answer the call after 5-10 seconds then you need to adjust that based on your carrier's settings for your voicemail redirect.
I am unable to find the carrier's settings for voicemail redirect. I looked under settings--->call.

If it is redirecting to voicemail too soon there are no settings on your phone that can change that. Either search for settings on your carrier's website (presumably Verizon) or contact their support to ask if you can have them change the time before calls are redirected to voicemail. Your carrier is the one who determines how long a call should be allowed to persist before it is redirected to your voicemail, so there's nothing (to my knowledge) that your phone can do to change that.
I believe making his own ringtone at a length of approximately 45 seconds should make voicemail wait until its done playing. Always plays the full ringtone on my phone before switching over...

I am using a song as my ringtone. It's .mp3. So suggestions...
To change your ring delay on Verizon, you'll need to call customer service on your phone (by dialing *611) and asking them to help you out.

It's not a setting in your phone; you actually have to call your service provider (Verizon) and ask them to change it for you.

While this is true, in some areas where the reception is bad some times it rings less long on your end as on the other caller's. In order to test that you can call your cell phone with a land line and see how long it takes for your cell phone to start ringing. If this is the case, you can try dialing *228 to try to re-calibrate your phone to to the local cell towers.
no *228
*228 does not work for Verizon LTE see...

Well thank-you,
I thought I heard that from a reputable source but I now see that I was mistaken.
Strange issue, I could send/receive text messages, and I could also make calls, but when trying to call my phone from another phone or if anyone else called me it would just ring like normal and go to voicemail, but my phone wouldn't ring or indicate that I had a call / missed call. This was fixed after a reboot but has anyone else had this issue?

I have the same issue I tried a reboot but the problem keeps coming back did that fix it permanently for you? Sometimes calls come in other times it just shows up as a voicemail.

I haven't had the issue since, but then again I wouldn't know unless someone texts me that they've been trying to call (I don't monitor my voicemail that closely...probably should though).
I've seen the exact same issue as well. I won't even get the call but the voice mail will show up if the caller left a message. Hopefully this is just a bad connection to the cell towers at the time the call was trying to get through and not some other issue.

Hi coming from the M8 forums and checking things out, and I had this issue and it was due to the tower being worked on in my area. I didn't have service for an entire month at my office or apt, which are less than a mile apart. Now I have poor data service but i can receive calls. You might want to contact Sprint and let them know ASAP
I cant receive calls but i can do outgoing and sms to others weird using international unlock lg g3 sprint
Same here...maybe 2 out 10 test calls I tried went through. I called sprint and they instructed me to re-provision the device using some ##7..something..something## dialer codes. My phone magically receives calls, but I have a feeling their re-provision crap didn't do anything to fix, it was just the re-boot part that "temporarily" fixed the incoming call problem.
This could be a silly question, but I've never really seen a clear answer on this. Can anyone confirm how the Gear S actually transfers a call? For example, if you're wearing your gear and have your phone on you. If a call comes in, your phone rings and you can answer. Now, let's say you run into a store and leave your phone in the car...before, with the Gear 2 it would say "Bluetooth disconnected" and you're done.
At that "Bluetooth disconnected" point with the Gear 2, is that where the Gear S automatically "connects" itself to the network? In other words seamless connection?
Is this right? (below)
In Bluetooth range: Person calls > Samsung cell phone rings > answer on phone or watch > no answer > goes to VM.
Out of Bluetooth range: Samsung phone sensed your Gear S is out of range > person calls > watch rings > no answer > goes to VM
Thoughts?

+1 I know you can forward you calls to watch but I would like to know how this scenario plays out as well

Yes you are right
maybe you can set up a task with Tasker that tells it every time bluetooth disconnects from that device, forward calls to a specified number.

Guys, I picked mine up today from an ATT corp store. Just walked in and said I'd like to buy a Gear S. Anyhow, I think I have this figured out. When someone calls your phone when the gear is out of range, it rings first on the phone then gets sent to the Gear. Then apparently people leave a message on that other number, that's the part I don't get yet. BUT I did send my buddy a text message while outside of range and he said it came in as my main number.
I hope this does not mess up with my google voice voice mail set up

Ugh at that other number. I have google voice also seems I will have yet another number
If the call forwarding happens though the Cell network then google voice should be ok. I just dont want to have to stop using google voice for my voice mails.
There are a few options, rings on phone then forward to watch then voicemail. Auto forward is whenever the watch is not connected via Bluetooth then forward is enabled. Also always forward option.
Where is the option for auto call forwarding when Bluetooth disconnects? I can only see the remote forwarding on the gear on the screen with volume and brightness.
I don't own one as yet (comes in 2 days) lets say.... you do drop bluetooth because your out of range. if your handset is set to forward calls to the gear s number when the call is not answered within a specific time normal call forwarding would do the job. However, call forwarding without the right tariffs could cost you unless unlimited minutes is your tariff. Mine is, so no problems there.
