I have the gear s watch, s5 and the lg tone pro 750. I cannot answer my incoming calls thru my headset if I use the watch to accept the call. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same issue. I bought a different headset (Motorola Hint), and now the watch answers by simply saying "answer".

Sounds like a compatibility problem you had. The headset works with both devices fine. Other then when I try to answer a phone call. The audio goes to the watch instead of my headset when I accept using the watch. If I accept the call on the phone it goes to the headset

Same here, I have a motorola whisper headset. While it is paired to the phone......if I answer via the gear.....the call will not go thru the headset.
So what I do when someone calls is look at the gear and see who it is and if it is someone i need to talk to I answer it via the heastset and not the gear and the call goes thru the headset.

For some odd reason the GS3 seems to still play sounds (rings, notifications, etc) on the device as well as the BT headset when connected; causing an unecessary echo. On all my previous devices, all sounds were directed to the headset. Any way to change this? Couldn't find it under Settings.
Bump!

I'm experiencing the same problem but I'd like to broaden the scope.
My Bose MIE2I's are plugged into the 3.5mm slot not BT and do not receive the notifications, nor do they work for speaking through the phone and listening to the other party on the call.
I'm used to them not controlling my multimedia and voice control as per my GSII but their functionality being constricted on a higher model phone perplexes me.

Have you try application name BT mono? search in Google play. try that application. it pretty much make your BT headset as output sound. So music notification can play through BT headset
For Bluetooth- turn on the device and find it in the Bluetooth settings. Then click on the wheel beside it and check both vocal and media audio.
same issue here.. driving my nuts..
want all rings notifications etc in the earpiece only.
I want to mute my phone and have all sound routed 100% to the earpiece.

I know this is an old topic, but I was searching for a solution for the exact same issue and thought I'd add my .02 cents here as well.
Anyone come up with a solution to this yet?
Hi,
I recently bought a new Jabra Wave bluetooth headset for use with my Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100.
Everything about the headset is fine except for the fact that the bluetooth headset is not able to play the phone ringtone when i get an incoming call. Instead the bluetooth headset plays its default ringtone which is to low in volume and sometimes you dont know if there is an incoming call until you hear the person who has called, say hello.
Is there any way by which i can change this behaviour?
Thanks,
Gokul

Hi, I'm in same situation, maybe worste, because I don't listen to neither default ringtone.
It's happened only with my Galaxy Nexus (ROM 4.2.1), but is in same your way with my Motorola Atrix 4g (work phone with ROM 2.3.6).
Very strange issue, the calls working very well...
Anyone can help us???
Thanks and Merry XMas

same problem
I have same problem with jabra cassic
i used "Automatic Bluetooth Toggle PRO" app for solving my problem
@jafar: how is it possible to solve the issue with "BT toggle"? By doing what with this app?
Hi
OK this is not strictly a bluetooth headset its actually analogue pluged into my laptop.
I have got music playing via Bluetooth
It also receives calls from the phone via BT and the headset can hear the caller and I can speak via the headset mic
so all is quite good.
Question is can you enable a delay to answer, so the phone rings at least once. Currently it just answers and is quite seamless if it was not for the music player die down I would not know someone is calling me.
Perhaps I should be using some application on the phone or PC to configure this. Perhaps someone can suggest a good PC dialer for bluetooth that has these options.
Any other tips on using BT via a laptop and headset would be great.
cheers.

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?

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?
