I'm using different SIM cards, with different numbers, on the Android and on the Gear S. The Gear S is set to use the Gear number for calls and for SMS sending. If I send an SMS to the Gear number, it always arrives there. If I try to send (compose or reply) an SMS message from the Gear, then:
* 99% of the cases it gives a timeout and is not sent
* if I quickly put the Gear in airplane mode, then turn airplane mode off, then send immediately the SMS, is is always sent
Any hints? Does anybody have issues with SMS sending (originating from the Gear, not proxied via the phone)?

PS. - I guess I just posted in the wrong area, but I have no clue as of how to move this to the Troubleshooting zone ...
When this happens, is your watch connected to your phone via BT? The watch's cell radio is auto-disabled whenever it is BT connected to the phone.

The watch is not connected via BT when this happens, and the 3G is always on. I made sure it only has the 3G connection and it is set to use the Gear number ...
Then you probably have SIM card or account setup issue not related to Watch itself. I don't know which region your watch is from. Here in US, my AT&T version won't allow sending text message from watch's radio using another number. It has to be the number of the watch itself. Security restrictions from the carrier I guess.

Did that too, forced the operator to send the configuration again to the Gear number, received it on the Gear, approved the setup, got the MMS and internet APNs updated ... the Gear sends SMSs from its own number, and it works for a couple of minutes after it is out of airplane mode, then stops working. It can also receive messages anytime, without any problems - so it must be something else. Since I seem to be alone having this issue, I will probably reflash and reinstall, maybe it fixes itself
I'm having almost the same problem except with calls --- texts go through fine both ways, but I can only receive calls, when I try to make an outgoing call on the gear in standalone mode (phone not connected) it says either "unexpected response" or "emergency calls only" I think it could be a firmware bug as I found two firmware updates I'd missed (will test it tomorrow, currently a storm so no ATT reception here) but make sure your firmware is latest version, if it's not, update it and try again.
i'm on the latest fw, take care, you may lose text messages too
Ah, well I guess it wont help you >.< sorry. Good Luck!
Though in my case, after updating the firmware it works perfectly for calls/texts now! Data doesn't work, but I don't really need that (I have an unlimited plan on my phone and excellent reception usually, the gear's tiny plan ($10/3 months) is just for those odd times when I forget my phone or it's battery dies, or it has no reception and I *have* to make a call --- to date not had a problem like that in 10 years, but peace of mind for $3/month is worth it )

to get smart relay activated properly you must first turn on the mobile data connection on your phone then the mobile data connection on your watch. if the gear s has auto mobile data defaulted, in 60 seconds you will not have to activate it manually.
This method is to get the calls forwarded. Again, to establish the remote connection both phone and watch mobile data connections must be established. If youre connected to wifi the remote connection will not work.
Once call forwarding or remote connection has been established it is not necessary to keep the mobile data connections on either the phone or watch. The remote setup has been worked out through your cellular provider and there isn't a need to keep data on if you don't need them.
This must be done every time to get it working. I'm using both a tmobile bought gear S and note 4. It all works brilliantly.
if i have the phone and watch connected, and i receive a call, and answer it from the watch, will i speak from the phone? its easier to slide from the watch...
Hello I'm having great problems with remote connection. All I get is error message when I try to activate it. all it says is error has occurred please try again. I have note 4 and tmobile. I'm stuck and been researching for 2 days now. Any ideas?

Redo call forwarding setup both on gear manager and watch itself
Mine takes 2-4 tries to connect but after that its flawless
It has to have remote connection first to do the call forwarding
Any ideas?
A good reset/Uninstall the apps always helps me
Yeah tried. Nothing. Now its not recognizing my sim card
i get the same error forwarding calls when moving from BT to mobile connection. although the watch shows me the notifications, it keeps the error.try again.
how do i redo the call forwarding protocol on both devices?

I am nor completely clear.....are you saying that each time you know you will be leaving your phone at home, you must manually set up Remote Connection and then turn it off when you reconnect to the watch via bluetooth? I thought is was supposed to be automatic. Also, does this Remote Connection require a data plan to allow it to function? I am in Canada and none of the carriers have a "wearable plan". I just purchased a prepaid nanoSIM from Rogers and signed up for a talk & text plan but no data and I don't want to be paying big $ for data if the watch requires data to function with Remote Connection. HELP!

As far as I'm aware there are actually two separate issues to consider here.
1) If you turn on Call Forwarding in the Gear Manager app on your phone, then calls to your phone (using your phone number) will ring on your watch when not connected through Bluetooth (by being forwarded to your watch #). This is simply call forwarding and all you need is a watch plan that allows voice; no data plan required. You would normally use this when you want to leave the phone at home and receive calls on your watch while you're out, etc. The forwarding isnt automatic, you turn it on or off as required in Gear Manager.
2) If you have a plan that allows data (or have access to a wifi connection) then you will be able to receive texts and all notifications from your phone on your watch when connected remotely. You won't be able to receive calls in real time with only a data plan though, unless you also have a voice plan and forward calls as per #1 above. On the bright side, you will still get the missed call notification if your watch plan allows data, so while you can't answer the call you can always call them back right away. Data plans (or wifi) allow for the remote connection to your phone when out of bluetooth range. This remote connection is possible because without bluetooth, the phone and watch can only sync up through your Samsung account, which is why they need some sort of data connection. Once you've set everything up on your phone and watch, the remote connection will happen autonatically within 60 seconds of losing bluetooth connectivity.

Thanks for the clarification. I currently only have the Talk & Text plan so I will have to see how much data is used to push the information. I may have to get a data plan as well.

So to further ask questions about these things..
I just got the watch today and have been searching and trying to find tips on it...
If I am connected via bluetooth.. why does my watch not ring? I thought I could pretty much leave my phone in my pocket all day and do everything through the watch (receive calls and what not). I notice the "messages" app ONLY has messages in there sent from the watch itself. If I get a text message I can view it (not reply..) and it does not show up on the actual watch texts... ideas?
Thanks in advanced.
Hey all,
I just have a question. Lets assume we do have a phone with SIM-A and the Watch with SIM-B. They are connected via bluetooth and for a reason, bluetooth connection get lost. Theoretically, the calls from SIM-A should be diverted to SIM-B. Automatically. Correct?
Because, practically, I am trying this with the Galaxy S7 edge with two sims (SM-G935FD) and it is not working. I got only missed-call notification. The call is not diverted and the phone is still ringing. However, I can do it manually, which of course is not as advertised.
My call forwarding on my AT&T Phone and AT&T Gear S won't connect. Anyone know of any threads or remedies?
Fixed My Own Problem
Ok I fixed my own problem and now it works better than before. I got on the chat with AT&T and they set up the call forwarding on their end. The Gear S still says there is no call forwarding connection though, so I disabled the option. Since it is enabled through AT&T, however, on a remote connection I can receive calls from both my phone number and my Gear S number. All the while call forwarding is disabled on the Gear S. I can receive texts through both numbers as well. The only downside is, to disable the call forwarding I would have to contact AT&T again. But I don't really know why I would ever want to disable that. I'm just going to leave my phone in a constant remote connection and get all the benefits of a regular bluetooth connection plus the ability to receive calls and texts on my Gear S number.
Customization
Ok wait. To customize my watch, such as adding new clocks and wallpapers, I would have to be on bluetooth. But that's no biggie i'll just reconnect.
Nevermind
This method does not work. Calls to my original number do not show up on my phone. Just my watch. I missed a call today because I had my watch turned off. Even though my phone was turned on, I didn't see the call. It went straight to my watch which wasn't on. AT&T said there is no way I could get the same call to appear on both my watch and my phone. So I'm still out of luck on getting the call forwarding option thru the Gear S working.
im looking to purchase a gear s unlocked brand new but everywhere i go to finda a demo or more info i cannot find one where i live even the staff are clueless even the ones working in the samsung store.
my questions are
1. if i put my phone sim into my gear s what functions can it do similarly on my phone if say i go for a walk without my phone? will whatsapp work?
2. does the gear s need to have your phone connected to the internet at home if you leave it there and go out for the day for full functionality? i read in order for gear manager to function the phone needs to be on and connected to a working connection (obviously the gear s will have my sim in it o i assume calls etc i'll receive via the watch)
3. is the watch truly stand alone for calls texts whatsapp etc if i just put my phone sim in it and go out for the night?
my ideal scenario is if i want to go out for the night and dont want to bring my phone wih me im hoping i can receive calls texts and whatsapp only by just having my phone sim in the watch. is this doable? or does my phone need to be connected in some way?
thanks
Yes. If you put your sim in the watch you will get phone calls and txt. You can txt back just like normal. Not sure about whatsapp because I don't use it. You do have to have a Samsung phone to get emails and other notification type stuff and the phone has to be connected to wifi for that to work. It makes a remote connection using network via wifi with phone and cell network with the watch.

So can i leave my phone at home connected to wifi and receive calls and texts from that number pushed to the gear s and also receive calls and texts on the separate sim i have in the watch?
If i put my phone sim in my gear s can i literally get everything i need pushed?
Sorry your post answered my question above. But in regards to whatsapp calling or viber on the gear s can i do that from the watch? How loud is the loud speaker? Like if im outside and it is noisey with traffic can i still hear without needing to put the watch close to my ear?
Lastly is it possible to sideload android wear fitness apps to it even though it runs tizen?
I like i can put a sim in unlike the s 2
I love my Gear S and the main reason I bought it is for the fact that it can auto call forward and connect remotely. Lately however the dang thing does not seem to work if at all.
What's the deal? I have my Note 3 connected via BT. Both devices are connected and working just fine, and all is good. If I leave the house 1/10 times the Gear S will work properly forwarding calls and being connected remotely. Otherwise, it just never works and gives me that dumb error on the watch to Try Again. It never works, so I reboot it. Again, 1/10 times it will work.
Today I decided to work through this and of course it's not working. It says that the phone is connected remotely but I am not getting any notifications. I can from the Gear S, I can send email from it, but texts and notifications go into limbo. WTF! I swear, it's a love / hate with Samsung and it's issues like this that make me hate them.
Now I've reset the Gear S and am in the process of restoring it in hopes that somehow this fixes it. If not, I'll blow it away again and remove the gear manager and start from scratch.......again!! I had to do this back in Feb due to the Gear S giving up taking a charge for some stupid reason.
Sorry for my frustration, but WTF is wrong here? Anyone have these issues? I'm on the edge of leaving Samsung for something else just because I"m getting tired of this crap.
I have the AT&T version too and was getting this issue. Go into the call settings on your phone to see if you're getting the NETWORK OR SIM CARD ERROR. If you see this, you need to reboot your phone and your Gear S.
I have a Note 4 on Lollipop, but what I do is:
Go to the Phone app
Tap the three dots on the top right
Tap settings
Tap Call
Tap More Settings
If you see the sim or network error here, the call forwarding to the Gear S will not work and you will have to reboot your phone and watch.
If you keep seeing that error, then call AT&T and have them reregister your device (phone) sim to the network.
That's what I did to fix mine. This might be just a Note 4 issue in my case but the steps might work for the Note 3 also.
It could also mean you have a bad AT&T signal where you are because the watch has to communicate with the phone before initiating the call forwarding.
Go to mobile carrier settings and set the phone to forward unanswered calls to your S's assigned phone #. This way if the software fails, the carrier's network will forward the call to your watch regardless.

Thanks. I actually do that through a nice widget if I know for sure I'm going to be out with watch only. Mainly so the inbound callers don't have to sit through a number of rings before their call comes to me.
That said, it's really a band aid as the darn auto forward should work. I'm going to check what was suggested above and see what I find. The problem is last week it said it was connected remotely but I wasn't getting any notifications. That coincided with no call forwarding, thus I think the problem is more than just forwarding.
I reset the watch, restored, etc. and it worked once. I'll know more this week. THank you again for the input. Any input if very much appreciated.

Sorry to hear you have a&t. Connected remotely and call forwarding are two completely different things as you may know but regardless of the matter its not Samsungs fault. Your device showed that it was connected remotely therefore it was....the real issue is your wireless carriers crappy network not pushing your notifications plain and simple not your watch or your phone. Both are working just fine from what you've stated which leads to the fact that its your network connection. Only GSM networks are capable of auto call forwarding which as I stated is completely carrier network based. No offense but at&t sucks anymore and havent seen these issues with anyone but at&t customers. Its on at&ts end. Call and complain about your issue but unfortunately I doubt they will do crap which is why I left at&t 3 months ago. Hope you can get them to figure it out.
I was having the same problem. Used Gear Manager to turn off auto forwarding, rebooted phone, turned call forwarding back on and it solved the problem. Unfortunately you have to wait until you are back with your phone to resolve the issue.

I don't think it's lollipop. It's now been working fine since a Gear S reset. I just think Sammy needs to figure out the bugs where ever they are. Moot point once someone else comes out with a nicer styled one with a sim card as I'll likely go that route.

I finally figured out this only happens to me after I have Bluetooth paired to my car or a headset. Only happens every once in awhile. If I reenter my car and turn it on, as soon as Bluetooth reconnects it's back to working. The problem will come back if I don't reset my phone. Then all is fine for a few days. In my case obviously the bug is in gear S bluetooth not my phone or my car as the same thing at times will happen with a Bluetooth headset.

Hah I'm glad it's working for you now.
I just got my Gear S and I have couple of questions that I haven't been able to discover an answer for. Is it possible to rotate the screen to landscape mode? I haven't found a way to do if there is. Also what would be needed to send/receive calls on it in stand alone mode?
It is not possible to rate the screen.
There is nothing else needed to make/receive calls in stand alone as long as you have the watch activated with a carrier plan. It will have its own phone number. However, if it is connected to your phone via Bluetooth, the cell radio on the watch is disable by default to save battery.
Also, make sure you bought the correct version of Gear S for use. As a dual band phone, Gear S is not a global phone. Specifically, North American market and rest of the world do not match in frequency bands. So, if you bought a non-NA Gear S, it won't work in NA and vice versa.
Thanks for the info. It is an ATT gear s which is the service that I have. I realized that I asked the first question incorrectly. I was wondering about rotating the screen when viewing video or photos. I found a video play that will rotate it for you.
Also to go full solo mode your phone needs to be shut off. If it is on, then the watch will connect through the cell network from your phone and you will still get calls from your phone's number on the watch. If the phone is off the network, or turned off, then your watch's number will be the active one.

No you don't have to. As long as you are not connected via Bluetooth to your phone, your watch can receive phone calls from both numbers. In fact, if auto-forwarding is turned on, you will still receive phone calls from your phone's number even if the phone is turned off that is because the forwarding is done at carrier network level, not on your phone.
With Bluetooth turned on, the default behavior is turn off the cell radio on the watch to save battery. But you can still turn it on in the settings so that your watch can always receive calls to the watch's number at the cost of worse battery life.

This does not work this way for me in the U.S. and under AT&T. I have auto-forwarding on, but if the phone is off I do not get calls to the phone forwarded to the watch. With the phone off, the watch only gets calls to the watch number. It gets forwarded calls from the phone if bluetooth is off, but the phone has to still be turned on and on the network.
Here is an excerpt from the manual:
Connected Remotely
When connected remotely, the Gear S is not
connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth, but is
still connected to the smartphone via the mobile
network.
While connected remotely, the Gear S can
receive notifications and calls from the
smartphone, calls and SMS messages to the
Gear S phone number, and have limited access
to Samsung Gear app functions. Calls which
are placed will be dialed from the Gear phone
number.
Gear Only
In Gear Only mode, the Gear S is not connected
to the smartphone, and is operating as an
independent device.
While in Gear Only mode, the Gear S will only
send and receive SMS messages and calls to the
Gear S phone number, and will have no access
to Samsung Gear app functions.
Maybe I should be more specific. You can turn off the phone after your watch confirms forwarding is on. This is because your phone is the only device that can turn on the forwarding. But once it is turned on, the phone itself don't have to be on.
You can rotate your Samsung Gear S. With a quick update however, they've added a new option that lets you change the orientation to vertical instead — making things much easier to read. Of course if you like the horizontal layout better, that option is still there as well.
