[Q] blue tooth issues and a couple of questions - Samsung Gear Fit

not sure if this is a gear fit problem or phone. I got a gear fit for Christmas present. I have a s5 active I also use my radio in the car as my hands free. today while in the car when I received a phone call /made a call the radio showed the call but i could not hear the other person nor could they hear me. until i turned on the speaker on the phone. has anyone had this problem and how to solve this issue need hands free while driving.
question #1 i have gmail account at work is there a way to add that to the email on the watch?
question #2 can you swim with the gear fit on?
thanks in advance for the help

Not sure about your first problem. I use Gear Fit Phone.
#1 - In Gear Fit Manager go to Notifications then scroll down and under "General notifications" look for gmail and check the box to receive.
#2 - Yes, I have never taken it off for swimming and have had it close to 2m below. Note however that bluetooth connectivity thru water is bad therefore unless you want to have the device reconnecting all the time, switch bt off on the device/phone.
I'll try and see what I can expiscate regarding your first point.

Thank you i got the radio issue fixed by unpairing the radio then reparing it again. seems to be working now.

Car with Bluetooth

My car (Peugeot 307CC) has built-in Bluetooth, and it works pretty good with the Touch HD.
My previous phone was the original Touch and besides the phonebook it also gave the option of seeing the recent calls (outgoing/incoming) with the HD I only get the phonebook.
It doesn't bother me very much but that call list was handy for not having to scroll through my whole phonebook.
Did I miss a parameter (that was not on the original Touch) somewhere?
a little update ...
strange, this morning I suddenly had the "Call List" and it worked, ... for 1 call, after that again only the phone book was available
I have something similar too, using a FISCON unit in my Touareg where the Provider network name is not being exchanged, however the signal strength is. After taking a call, all of a sudden the network name is visible on the headunit.
Looks to me like some software issue, as when looking into the BT profiles all actually are there to allow exchange of network names and such.
Did a hard reset last week and now again I only have the phonebook.
I'm not even looking at the battery meter/network provider/signal strength because those are very irregular (but that was the case with my old original Touch too)
I can have all three, some or none and then after a call it changes again but they're not so important, only having the phonebook does make things more difficult (plus that it worked with the original Touch makes it even more painful)
I can confirm your problem with my Audi
sometimes it works,
sometimes not,
sometimes I can see all contacts,
sometimes not,
sometimes I can see the calls,
sometimes not,
the last two days it was working fine
some days before also the bluetooth connection drops
AND I have had none of these problems with orbit²
I have the Pioneer DEH-P800BT head unit and I don't get any of the problems mentioned above. The problem that I do get from time to time is that the call answer button on the head unit doesn't work, so I have to press the answer button on the phone, then it continues to work as it should, hands free through the stereo.
No problems with my Sony MEX BT 2500 head unit
I can receive and make calls, and do A2DP streaming as well.
This head unit has no call list/contact features.
no problems with my carkit. Phone book works fine. I have an Opel Zafira
The only problem I have is the bluetooth connection. It droppes after a while. Saterday i flashed to dutty's Rom. For so far i can see it, the problem is solved.
Grz
Found it, apparently the car can't handle too many items in the last calls list, I had a lot more than 100 items in that recent call list, when I erased them and had a few calls the list came back, so I'll be having a look for when it disappears again and then clean out the list again ...
So nothing wrong with the phone's Bluetooth, the car just can't handle it

[Q] Problems with Bluetooth car connection

I just switched to a Galaxy S3 from an Desire HD. Overall I'm not very happy.
One issue that is turning into a deal breaker is the BT connection with the car. I have been unable to make the S3 connect automatically with my Nissan Connect and it is a laborious process to establish a full phone and media connection.
This is what happens,
The pairing process goes well I get a a full media and phone connection. After about 30 secs the connection is dropped.
I reestablish the connection manually and I only get media audio no phone. I cancel the connection manually and reestablish the connection and there I get both media and phone audio.
If I turn off the car and turn it on again I have to go through the whole manual connection sequence again, without the pairing.
I have installed A2DP Volume app but it did not fix the problem.
This is very frustrating since my Desire HD worked flawlessly when connecting to the car.
Anyone have any tips or experiencing similar problems?
this exactly happens to me as well. i was on the stock XALE8, but upgraded to ALF5 and nothing new. this is frustrating because it happens to my car, and multiple bluetooth headsets.
Bluetooth working fine for me and my Fiat

Right I might know the answer to this as I had the same problem as few weeks ago.
If you have Facebook, twitter, whatsapp or anything like this best thing is to get rid of them if you don't want to, go to your accounts and sync on your phone and untick the sync with contacts on any of the apps you have installed.
Then go to call log and clear your call history.
Delete the bluetooth pairing turn the phone off and back on, repair with the car, mine has worked perfectly since I did this.

So from what you describe the problem lies in the syncing of the phone contacts with the car contacts. Maybe since it also tries to sync the FB contacts there is something in the format there that it does not recognize and it gets hung up.
Will need to try different sync configurations to see what happens.

I've got the same problem with my S3 not syncing with my car kit. The bluetooth is all paired but the car still says no phone. Tried unpairing and just about everything else with no luck at all. Any other thoughts please?
Mine works fine with the Toyota Touch & Go thingy. I only sync contacts from my Google account to the phone though, I don't bother with the ones from FB, etc

Hi there. Following up on this thread, I've had a similar issue with the miss's Galaxy S3 mini (android 4.1) and the Nissan Connect System on her Juke. It also happened with a HTC Status (ChaCha, android 2.3), so I can't narrow it down to a particular Android version or phone manufacturer. What happened was, both devices paired well with Nissan Connect, but after a short while, the system crashed completely (the cars, not the phone) :s. It would restart automatically, but just to crash again after re-pairing. With older devices, this issue never occurred.
After reading Motogp1s answer, I decided to give it a shot. Unpaired all devices, cleared the system on the nissan. On the S3 mini cleared the call history, and disabled all contact sync from facebook, google, etc. Re-paired the device, disabling the multimedia functions (she just wants the phone features) on the paired device settings (NISSAN CONNECT on the S3). Refused to give permission tho the car to retrieve call and contact information. At this point, the bluetooth connection would work without a glitch, never had a crash or problem again.
Like RaulTT said, the problem seems to be in the amount of information Android devices keep on their contact list (and can also be related to the amount of contacts, or the multimedia features in the case of Android 4). But given the sweetness of having your contacts also on the car, I think the best approach is to keep a short list of your most important contacts on the SIM card, and try to sync only that list. If you must go with the phone's list, you should indeed disable all contact sync from 3rd apps, plus limit the size of your contact list, and also be aware for special characters on the contacts names (in case of latin languages, p.e).
Thanks for the help.

[Q] Bluetooth Car

Hi everyone,
I have paired my S3 to car bluetooth, however I have a few issues that need to be resolved.
1) I use my S3 for navigation using google maps while its is connected via bluetooth to my car radio. However when I receive a call, my Navigation screen goes into call screen till the call ends. Is there a way to stop this as my car's stereo system screen shows who is calling and I dont need my phone to show that while driving as GPS is more important to me.
2) I have tried importing contacts to my car entertainment system, however only some contacts have been transferred, so I only receive numbers for most of the contacts, is there an account that only gets transferred.
Hope to get these issues resolved.

1) You could try using Tasker to create a rule which minimises the call screen/keeps focus on Google Navigation when its paired with your Car's entertainment system or you could invest in a dedicated GPS.
2) Does your car's entertainment system support android out of the box? If it does, try sticking all of your contacts on to your Gmail account (The most likely candidate for your entertainment system to pull information from). You may also want to try forums relating to your car as there may already be threads out there relating to this issue.

So I bought the app, I am very confused with the interface. Could someone help me with the app?

[Q] Help me to understand...

So, I've had my Gear S now for about a week, and LOVE it. The connection stuff has me a bit confused though. I have it paired with an AT&T Note 4. There are a few things I have questions about...
If I reboot the phone, the watch will only connect to Gear Manager remotely. Shouldn't it connect to Bluetooth first? I have to go into Gear Manager and disconnect the remote connection, then it will reconnect via Bluetooth.
Under what circumstances does the phone forward calls/sms to the watch? For example, on purpose, I left my phone at home one day, and went out for a drive. Calls and SMS that were made came from the watch's number. I can't say about the receiving end because I didn't receive anything LOL.
Sometimes, if I go out of Bluetooth range at home, the home wifi will kick in, but repeatedly get a message on the watch that the forwarding function failed.
I'm definitely keeping this baby, but just need a little help in understanding it fully.

With my S5 initially, Remote Connection would kick in after a few minutes out of Bluetooth range. But, when I was back in Bluetooth range, I would have to do what you are doing to drop RC. I had a Gear 2 Neo prior to Gear S, don't know if that was any issue. .I did a factory rest on S5 ( to get rid of root and some other things) , and now watch connects and disconnects to RC by itself and rather quickly. BTW, when in RC, all texts and calls to S5 do come to Gear S. If I were in your shoes, I might try to reinstall Gear on phone before wiping phone. IF you do wipe phone, Gear S will be reset during the pairing process, so you may want to back up your Gear S data prior.
Op. Under settings-connections-mobile network, do you have it set to auto connect? On the phone side of things for Bluetooth settings, gear s contented to phone audio?

Yeah, all that was set, but I ended up wiping both the phone and the watch and everything seems fine now... Still loving the watch... wondering how they'll make the next one better..

Verge OS 3.2.0.7 incoming call warning

Hi,
yesterday i received my Amazfit Verge.
I could not test it completely before an upgrade to OS 3.2.0.7 (I was running 3.2.0.5) came in.
I tested this watch on 2 phones (samsung s9 plus and a Motorola G4 plus).
Before testing I did a reset of the watch.
Both show the same problem, when testing the warnings the incoming call warning does not work.
When a call comes in the warning also does not work on the watch, all other warnings work.
Is this a problem with the watch or is it a software glitch in 3.2.0.7 and how to solve this?
Do you have latest version of Amazfit app installed on phone with all permissions granted? If yes, try adding the phone/contacts/favorites to the notification settings in the app.

Interesting - I just checked it with my Verge on 3.2.0.7. The first time I tried, it took relatively long - about 10 secconds - before I received the notification on my watch. The seccond time it came right away.
Have you tried to let it ring a little longer?
I'm running on release 2.6.7
Phone/contacts/favorites are hidden by the smart filter, they should not get selected.
I selected them anyway but the result is exactly the same
I've been waiting for 20 seconds now and I still do not have a notification on the watch.
I have exact same problem. Notification works only when I enable BT call function on watches.
I have the same problem, incoming calls are not visible. Samsung Galaxy S8 Android 9.
same problem here with a Samsung S10.....anyone solved it???

Did you marked in Watch App, notification section call/phone? Do you getting all others notifications like message, calendar and ect.? In 3rd screenshot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.huami.watch.hmwatchmanager you can see notification area. Here you must add all apps from yours phone from which you want to get notifications. If will not help, try reset factory settings of watch. For me working everything fine. Also, if in watch you will not see caller name, need to give permission of that (in smartphone). By the way i hope you understand that watch with smartphone must be connected via bluetooth?
P.S. I got 3 updates, now i got latest where was integrated Alexa (working in US only). With all software versions which i had and have working all notifications very well, included call. I guest you will not added it in Watch App notification section that. I have not Xiaomi brand smartphone too. Brand of smartphone havn't any effect in getting notifications I hope But maybe China manufactor don't like Samsung, so... you can chat with Amazfit support us.amazfit.com. But i'm really don't want to believe that this is true. Maybe something bad is with Samsung smartphones, cos this problem have a lot of people here
I had a Xiaomi Mi9 before and all worked very well!!
Now that i switched to a S10 with all the same settings that i had before, the notifications (whatsapp, telegram, gmail..ecc..) are perfect BUT if someone calls me the Verge vibrate for a second, the screen lights up and...stop!! no name, not even number calling.....when the call attempt ends it also notify me the missing call....!! I am pretty sure this problem is connected to samsung phones with pie but i really hope there is a way to fix it because i would hate to sell my Verge.....

I starting to think that this is not Verge problem, but problem is with Samsung smartphones, even newest models. I have none Xiaomi smartphone and it's working fine. It's not Samsung too. So i advise you to chat with Samsung support too, but ofcourse try to talk with Amazfit support us.amazfit.com (it's US, but only this support have live chat) if will be closed chat, try en.amazfit.com via mail support, but keep in mind today is saturday, so answer via mail or chat will be opened only from monday. It can be that these models working with each other with this problem

everything is checked and there is no incoming call anyway
yeah same preset answer they give to anyone.......
i also have all checked but the problem persists!!
I think it's standard form of answer to costumer. So consultants doing just copy - paste process from base of information. I think company request to do that from theirs workers, so don't be suprised. By the way i got some too about battery, but it's better to get answer like this one if don't get it at all, i had some examples when i did not got answers at all or answers into my questions
Any idea how to fix it?

Try to do factory reset of watch. I tried several times and after last reset i could hear caller when i answered to ring. But i need to check again that. By the way i did some reset of watch without restore of my data. So maybe this can help you.
No helps. I think it's problem new software for verge.
Still happens on my new Note 10 too, damn it! Coming from Note8 I havent experienced this before.
