[Q] BT headset - Samsung Gear S

Hi,
I have a bt headset connected to the gear.
When using remote (eg wifi / 3g) calls forward and i can answer with the headset.
When connected with BT the call comes through the watch and not the headset.
Anyone have thoughts ideas or solutions other than connect the headset to the phone direct as this would then mean i would have to reconnect to the watch when needed. Seems a flaw in the system
Thanks
Dagaz

Newer headsets should connect to two devices simultaneously.

I have had similar issues. There are several versions of bluetooth out there. Maybe that's s place to start

Automatic Bluetooth Headset connection!

Does anyone know an app or a hack to get my blue stereo headset to connect as soon as I turn it on?
Humm this seems to work out of the box in my case; I just need to turn on the bluetooth & the headset ; after 2 sec they are working together fine.
but did you have to set it on bluetooth setting again as your hands free device?
I can get my Nokia Stereo Bluetooth headset to automatically connect for some reason! Its already paired but I constantly have to set it as my headset device in the bluetooth settings.
Here a link to my headset http://europe.nokia.com/accessorieslink?s=BH-501
Please let me know if anyone has any good ideas.
thanks

Bluetooth in car with two devices

I have two bluetooth devices in my car.
1) the factory bluetooth hands free set for phone calls
2) blackberry gateway stereo that connects to media to stream whatever im playing through my aux connection
I had a droid incredible and it would auto connect to both devices when I turned bluetooth on, it was beautiful.
Now with the Razr it only connects to the phone audio and I have to go into the bluetooth settings and click the stereo gateway for it to connect to it as well.
This is a pain, does anyone know of anyway whatsoever to have the bluetooth connect to both devices automatically when I switch bluetooth on. I do have the tasker app if that helps, but I have read that the app cannot physically connect a device.
Smart actions are worthless in this situation. The only reason I know this is possible is because I did it with a phone over 2 years old for all 2 years I had it.

Android-to-Android Bluetooth Profiles

Hi everyone,
I am an owner of the GSIII I747M and the ASUS Transformer, both running ICS. I recently had this idea (fantasy?) where I mount the Transformer in my car, hook it up to the car speakers and basically use it as my in-car infotainment system instead of the headunit that's in there. Nothing wrong with my in-car headunit (except the fact that I can't get bluetooth to work with my GSIII), but the tablet will give me tons more features. When I enter the car, I want the tablet to automatically tether to my phone via wi-fi and via bluetooth. Wi-fi is for internet access and it works just fine. The bluetooth is for the hands-free profile, so that when I receive a call, the music/navigation/whatever gets interrupted and I can take the call. I also want to be able to dial from the tablet.
When I connect the two devices via bluetooth, I don't have a hands-free profile; indeed I have no useful profiles at all. My question is simple: is there an app for that? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Thanks!

Two bluetooth devices simultaneously?

Hello. Does anyone know if the T959 can connect to two bluetooth devices at once, or is the bluetooth version too old? I tried connecting a speaker and a headset but only one would work at a time.
However what I really want to do is connect an external bluetooth GPS receiver and a bluetooth speaker at the same time. Will it work?

Bluetooth Headset disconnect

Just got a Verizon GS and am noticing that my typical setup, Watch on left hand, BT headset in right ear I get constant disconnects with
my Bluetooth headset.
The connection will drop and the call audio will revert to the speaker on the watch.
I have tried disabling WiFi and GPS with no success.
Anyone else having this issue?

I don't have this issue but I did have a similar problem when I was using a Sony BT headset with my old Galaxy Gear.
I corrected this issue with an excellent app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect"

It's useful for prioritising bluetooth devices. It might be helpful, then again the Gear S does have unusual connection bridging. It's worth a go.

Its a BT 4.0 headset, its the new Jawbone ERA, no issues with other devices.
Hi,
I`m using a Plantronics headset, which works fine with my Samsung S4 (and all other phones).
Now, I`ve tried to connect the headset to my Gear. The connection itself works fine and without any problem.
But, and that`s angrily, I can use the headset only when the Gear is not connected via BT to my mobile (S4).
Inside the Tel-App, the headset symbole is not shown (greyed out), but inside the BT Headset configuration profile shown as "paired".
If I disconnect my BT connection between the mobile and the Gear, the headset works at once with the gear.
Many configurations checked, I`ve no more ideas.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance, tregobad
Update:
I`ve checked again how it works.
My Headset (Plantronics 725) is connected with the mobile AND Gear S.
Mobile and Gear are connected via BT.
If I get a call, both devices ringing (Multi Sim). Doesn`t matter if I accept the call at the mobile OR Gear, i can use the Headset.
But , if I accept the call at the Gear and use the Headset, the mobile is used and connected with the Headset.
That means:
mobile and Gear BT connected = Headset connects to mobile
disconnected = Headset connect to the device you be beside, mobile OR Gear

I'm experiencing an issue that may be related. I have my Gear S connected with my Note 4 and when I turn on a BT headset that's only paired to my Note 4, the Gear S disconnects. I then manually go and reconnect my Gear S to my Note 4.
Is there a way to keep the Gear S connected to my Note 4 when I turn on my BT headset? Or will the Gear S always disconnect from my Note 4 when a different audio device connects to the Note 4?
