I had in my samsung s5 activated the option that every time they call me tell me the name of the contact, as well as I reproduced the alarm. How is it configured in the galaxy s9 plus?
From already thank you very much
Settings, accessibility, vision, voice assistant
Switch it on then go to the settings above the switch and chose the option you need
Thks, but i need only that tell incoming call, don't need that voice indicate all things.

Hey all. New to Android but wanted to see if a feature existed. I have my GVoice linked to my account and it dials out just fine. What Im trying to do is have a different ringtone or notification when I receive a GVoice call vs a regular call.
I tend to screen calls so it would be nice to differentiate if the incoming call was my google voice # or my real # before I decide if I want to accept. I do use the GVoice screen option as well but hoping to add to it.
Thanks
any idea if this is possible? thanks
Am I missing something? the auto call forwarding seems to be missing from the verizon version. The manual call forwarding seems to be working well, but would love to have auto call forwarding. I tried the tasker method and it didnt work either as the phone (note 4) has a popup confirmation for call forwarding before making the call when using tasker.
I don't have it on mine either. I've got a Sprint Note 4 paired with an AT&T Gear S. My gf has an AT&T Note 4 paired with an AT&T Gear S and she has the auto forward feature. Only difference between us is the carrier of the phone.
For me, on Verizon, the auto forward used a *90 or *92 code I believe... Doesn't matter, whatever it is, didn't work. It's a regional thing. If the code doesn't work for you, you'll have to do it manually... No biggie.
Here's what I did. First, click disable forwarding. Some genius decided to enable 3gwhenever forwarding us active. Next, From your phone dial *72 1234567890. Replace with your 10 digit phone number. If successful, it will beep then hang up. If you don't care about voicemail skip ahead a step, at this point.
Then, unless you want to check your voice mail from your watch, forward your watch to Google voice, or my favorite, youmail. First, disable Bluetooth on your phone, then make sure mobile data us on, and set to use your watch number is set in call settings. Then, dial the same *72 code with your Google voice or youmail number.
Once forwarding is set, you probably don't want your friends to wait twice as long for voicemail to kick in, or listen to your ringer twice as long when ignoring calls (30s on phone, 30s on watch) . Now, set mobile data to auto switch, test that 3g goes off and on opposite Bluetooth connection.
I personally like this way better than the factory way. When I don't answer phone, it goes directly to voicemail. When my phone is dead, it automatically forwards to my watch without remembering to enable forwarding. When the watch doesn't answer, it gets forwarded to the same combined voicemail box
*92 does not auto forward calls
Update 12/14/14:
I finally spoke to someone at Verizon that understood the *92 issue not working.
They entered a ticket to the tech team.
He contacted me and I described the problem in great detail.
A day later the issue with using the auto-call forwarding has been fixed!
He said he was going to check other regional switches to verify that the *92 option was valid.
The issue has been corrected and the auto forward from the watch works perfectly now.
----------------------------------
Same issue here....
When trying to forward all calls from my cell phone to the Gear S, it dials *92 as the prefix to my number.
Called Verizon and they said it is a Samsung problem....talked to Samsung and they say it is a Verizon issue.
Neither of them are willing to report this as an issue...time to return it! Ugh!
Also the watch keyboard dis missing some special characters like the dollar sign $??
This "smart watch" appears to be in beta form.

So I have google voice set up for my voicemail. I noticed that this has not been working. I had to reset up my phone and then it stopped working again. It looks like when they phone is set to forward my calls to my watch, it disables google voice forwarding and my att voicemail program then pics up. I was wondering if any one knows how I can get this working again.
I went and removed my phone from google voice and then reactivated it but once my phone starts to forward me calls it no longer works.
Just wanted to see what other google voice users are doing.
They both use the same entry for your phone line: conditional forwarding. So, you can only have one at any time. When you setup auto-forwarding, it will change the conditional forwarding to Gear S number and when it no longer need forwarding, it resets which will be back to your network default that is your voice mail number.
I set up my gear s # as an additional phone in Google voice and had t-mobile turn off voice mail for it, that way I don't need to worry about calls forwarding.
I don't use my Google voice number as my main number so I like the forwarding set up. I wonder if I can have my voicemail number changed on my phone to my Google voice number.

Go to the google voice web site & look in settings under that number. It should say "activate voicemail" and it'll give you a code to dial on the phone. It's something like *444*YOURNUMBER*# or something like that. But the gear forwarding will always disable GV when it's enabled.

The only other thing i can think of is using the short code to set your watch to use google voicemail so your phone would forward to the watch & the watch would forward to GV if you missed it on the watch. It's just a thought but I'm waiting to use gear forwarding for that reason so lemme know if you find a setup that works.
One option is to turn off all forwarding in the watch and phone, then set up both the watch and phone normally in Google Voice.
All calls will be sent to both the phone's number and the watch's number. For whatever reason, the phone tends to ring at least 3 or 4 seconds before the watch rings, so there's no problem with multiple ringing devices. If neither the phone or watch are answered, the call will go to Google Voice voicemail.
Also, within Google Voice Settings / Phone, click "Activate Google voicemail on this phone" and dial the number string indicated. You'll have to do this twice, once through the phone, and again through the watch. An important note is that the phone needs to be disconnected from the watch when you dial the code through the watch.
The easiest method is just to put the phone into airplane mode before dialing the number from the watch.
Hi,
I have SIM card in my Gear S and I would like the option to enable/disable call forwarding directly from GearS (when is nor paired with the smartphone). This is how my swipe down menu looks like:
[check the attachement, i cant insert links]
I would like the option to set call forwarding from the Gear S, like in this video @18:28
watch?v=gt8xjMS4rT0#t=1105
[i cand insert yt like either]
Any idea how to enable that option?
Thanks
The link is broken for me but my gear has the option to toggle forwarding in the call section of settings but i haven't tried to change it while on a remote connection.
I did not watch the video but when not paired to my phone (Gear Only mode) I have call forwarding as an option in the pull down menu

The Verizon version has the pull-down option to enable or disable call forward. The AT&T version that I played with did not.
I saw a samsung Video about call forwading.
Before enable call forwarding in Gear setting (and see the checkbox), you must activate Call Forwarding in setting on Gear Manager on your phone. If it is not selected on Gear Manager the Gear S do not show the Forwarding chekbox.

If you saw "Gear only" mode you should also see call forwarding in the pull down menu. Swipe your finger down from the top of the gear. If you don't see it your carrier may not allow
T-MOBILE
It seems that's a feature only found on CDMA version of the watches, e.g. Verizon and Sprint. There is never such menu on my AT&T watch. Besides, Verizon's version don't even show the status (Gear Only, Connected Remotely or Connected via BT) in that swipe down menu. Yes, carriers can do all kinds of crazy things.
The reason for this specific menu item is quite simple: on GSM networks like AT&T, you can't set call forwarding from another line to your line for security reasons. I guess CDMA networks have a different way to do it without the security concerns. So, on GSM watches, you will need rely on the host phone to send the forwarding command upon the request from the watch via remote connection.
Anyone successful at activating Google Voice to manage your voicemails on the S8+? I'm coming from a Nexus device where it worked flawelessly. I guess Sprint has disabled the ability to use GV because they want you to use their voicemail app.
I have tried the steps on this page but voicemails still go to the stock app.

Might be able to get it working once we have root and can freeze the voicemail app. I wasn't able to answer phone calls with call forwarding to gv tho, so that will might be an issue.

I used this, and Google Voice is working for me. *73 is the key. *28 no longer works for it like GV mistakenly still states in the setup.
I came from Verizon Note 5 and switched to the Sprint S8+, and could not figure it out until I found the above.
Do you have the google voice app installed? I've tried this every which way I can find and it still reverts to Sprint voicemail.
I don't remember where i copied this from awhile ago but, it has always worked for me as long as google voice is installed and set up.

Enter *73
Enter the 10-digit phone number to forward the calls to (google voice number here)

Listen for the alert tones that tell you Call Forwarding is deactivated
Busy - forwards calls to an alternate number when your line is busy
To activate Busy Call Forwarding:

That's strange, I'm on Sprint and the *28xxxxxxxxxx, worked for me perfectly. I may try busy *74 number, but as for me all my voicemails are being forwarded to Google Voice and the Google Voice app is notifying me accordingly.
did you enable the notifications in the google voice app?

If you are asking me, notifications are enabled in the Voice app and I even have Lightflow set up with a custom led notification.

Do you have any issues using Lightflow, I had terrible experience with s6 edge +. Bought the pro but haven't tried it yet since the 6.

Had to call Sprint and have them remove WiFi calling from my account in order to get GV integration working (where when I make an outgoing call from my phone, my GV voice number is shown instead of my cell number). Now, trying to make a WiFi call, I get this message:
https://goo.gl/photos/ZUHzjq6uWbSrQy4k6
I'm afraid to move forward from this screen because GV integration is important for me... but so is WiFi calling. I was able to do both on my Note 4, which is what I was using before getting the S8+. Wonder why it can't do both now?
I can't see the pic. What does the message say?
I am only using GV for voicemail. I'm not planning on going fully integrated so I have no input on that.
I had to disable Wi-Fi calling to finally get GV voicemail to work.
I believe Sprint do not support both service, GV and Wifi-Calling, you either use one or the other, the only phone so far that i know for sprint able to use both was the Galaxy Note 4 because the Dual antenna for voLTE. "Please dont quote me on this"
Google voice works on s8+
it worked for me only after I called sprint. they did something on their end. that's all I know. sorry not more informative

Google voice is working for me, but I cannot even find wi-fi calling in my settings anywhere. And with the signal I've been getting the last few days it would be really useful.
