Hi, I was wondering if you think it would be possible to connect the gear s to a tab via bluetooth and then to take a call on the tab.
I had planned on replacing my note 2 with a gear s and a note 4. I don't make many calls at all but use messagers and email a lot. I've been thinking about ditching my phone, using the gear s for calls and then getting an 8inch tab to take the occasional private call on. Do you think this would work?

Hi, I just bought a Galaxy S Player (not the cellphone) and I was wondering if there was a way to pair it with your cellphone (maybe via Bluetooth?) making you available to answer calls and make calls from the player instead of making them trough the cellphone. Same question for tablets...
I had a feature like this on my old Samsung P2 which allowed you to pair it with your cell phone via Bluetooth allowing you to pick up and dial calls (it even supported contacts)
Thanks!
So I have the Gear S along with my Note Edge. Before that it was with my Note 3.
Anyway here's my typical day of Bluetooth connections.
- Gear S (All day)
- Google Glass (Data only, no voice)
- Car Bluetooth (Voice & A2DP)
- Bluetooth headset when walking (Voice & A2DP)
- Passport Max 2 Escort Live.
So I connect to 4 of these at one time.
But what has recently been happening (I believe with the latest Gear S update)...
is this friggen watch disconnects EVERY TIME I add a new connection to my phone.
I seriously don't know what's happening but it's a major annoyance making sure my damn watch is connected, it's suppose to be a set and forget but now I find myself fiddling for minutes every hour re-connecting it.
When I automatically turn on a device (headset or walk into my car) The phone automatically drops the Gear s and connects to the other device, this has not happened with my note 3 or with my Edge at first.
Anyone else experience BS like this?
It's very frustrating , my auto lock is set on my watch and I always walk away from my phone, this watch has become essential to my every day. I still have a Gear 2 and a note 3 I'm gana try and see to isolate the problem.
Greetings!
Has anyone else noticed any conflicts with simultaneous bluetooth connections to other types of devices while the Gear S is paired to your phone?
I have a Note Edge from T-Mobile and the Gear S from T-Mo as well. In my car (Chevy Volt) I have the factory infotainment system with navigation, bluetooth, etc. I noticed that at seemingly random times, when I had the phone paired to the car and was either in a call or streaming music, the connection between the car and the phone would be lost. I chalked it up to an issue with the Bluetooth profile stack GM was using and used a wired connection.
Then, I experienced the exact same problem in my truck with an Aftermarket Pioneer head unit connected to the phone. It too would drop the connection at random intervals. That caused me to start to suspect the Note Edge or the ROM I was running on it.
Yesterday, I accidently left for work without my Gear S. Guess what? The connection didn't drop once during my 45 minute commute. So today, I turned off the Gear S before I left work work, and I never lost a connection.
This tells me there is some sort of an issue with the Gear S. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a fix? To the best of my knowledge, I am using the latest official firmware for the T-Mo Gear S, and I just updated the Gear S app for the phone through the Samsung store, etc.
Thanks!
So I have a tablet (with data) that I use in my car as a media hub connected via Bluetooth using this device. Now, one of the problems I've run into with this setup is that I can not answer phone calls because my tablet is paired to the bluetooth and my phone isn't. So, I was wondering if there is an app that allows handing off/transferring phone calls from an Android phone to an Android tablet? The only thing I've discovered is that Samsung has this built into their phones/tablets via an called SideSync. For that reason, I've considering switching my phone and tablet to Samsung version, but would really prefer not to do that if I don't have to. I also do not want to get a new number and forward my calls to it when driving.
I am wanting to get a Samsung Gear S smartwatch and only want to use it bluetooth connected to my Verizon Galaxy S7. Will the Gear S use by phone's data plan to connect to internet services via bluetooth? Also will I be able to use make and receive calls via bluetooth connection only to my phone?
Yes. BT phone connect is the normal way to use a Smartwatch.

Thanks for the response. So i will be able to make calls via my smartwatch by being connected to bluetooth to my phone.
With the Gear S yes. Works also with the Gear 1 and Gear 2.
