auto unlock feature broken - Samsung Gear S

I was using the auto unlock feature of the Gear S, so that when it is connected I didn't have to enter any password/pin to unlock my phone screen.
Then I upgraded my S5 to Lolipop and I was still able to use this feature.
Today, all of a sudden, this feature started not working.
And I am not able to activate it on Gear Manager.
Any ideas ? Does anybody else have the same issue ?
Thanks.

This is really weird and disturbing. We noticed the same issue on my wife's Gear S as well.
Anybody else ?

the problem is solved after clearing the security credentials.

[Q] Proximity sensor not working

Hi guys. I have a peculiar problem in my new Galaxy S3. Whenever I make a call, the screen remains on even though I have ticked the 'Auto screen off during calls' option in call settings. Also, whenever I input any numbers while in a call, the keypad does not hide. I mean I get the 'Hide' option but it doesn't do anything and the keypad stays on the display. Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue or am I the only one facing it? Is there any workaround this? I am on stock firmware (XXLF2) and haven't even rooted my phone yet. Please help me guys!
I have exactly the same problem. I know the proximity sensor works, because I tried the proximity sensor test app. But my phone does not turn off screen when in call.
i have same problem any one help us ?
I also have this problem.. and to make it worse, I can't seem to call out occasionally. I swipe to call, but nothing happens. I can't even dial out at times.. rebooting usually solves the issue, but the problem quickly comes back.
I'm not rooted, on stock rom. Anyone know what the issue is?
OK, it looks like for me, it was a conflict between Google Voice and the phone. Turning it off/disabling it fixes the problems I've been having. I'll have to see what exactly is causing the conflict, but at least everything works with it off.

Where exactly is the option for turning off Google Voice?
I looked in Applications All but couldn't find it.

Check under 'Voice', not Google voice. It's also an option on the Voice widget.
If that doesn't fix it, try rebooting and doing it again.

'Voice' was my search pattern. It's got to be there I'll find it.
Hi guys,
Did you find a solution to this problem yet? I have the same problem, and no matter what I do, I can not make it work. The screen is always on during a call. I am using the stock rom, without root, as it is.

Nevermind. I fixed it by removing FSC ID, apparently it was interfering.
i had the same problem but it was fixed after i made a phone restart.
I have the same problem...

I wonder what the problem is, maybe we need another software update to fix these issues
I still cant enable call waiting, is there anyone else out there having or had this problem and resolved it? , I searched and can not find any info regarding this problem, I did a reset tried it connected and disconnected from gear manager made sure it is enabled on my note 3 and still no success, is this a problem across all gear s on all carriers, just t-mobile or just sporadic? , just trying to make sense of it to correct the problem and provide a possible solution for anyone else who might have the same problem.

I have a stock ATT Note 4 which finally received the M update (yay!) except it kinda broke my gear s (boo!) Watch is working, as far as a watch goes, and still connects via bluetooth. However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

Check the app permissions for the Samsung Gear app elements, make sure they're enabled

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.

Question S-pen disconnection problems

Is anyone else still having s-pen disconnection problems after the latest air command update?
Mine is still playing up. I've reseted the pen multiple times and reinstalled the updates. Short of enabling the keep s-pen always connected option not sure what else to try.
Hi bro
Yes, my pen still disconnects after the update from Galaxy Store. I even wrote a comment about it on SamMobile.
Regards DeHAWK
Mine also disconnects a lot. Is there a fix for this issue?

General Spen problem S23 ultra

It happens to me that I have the alert activated if the spen is forgotten on my device and it doesn't work. I try with a friend's device and it works, I use his pen to test and it doesn't work for me, I do the same with his and everything is perfect after changing the pen and trying restoring the pens. On my device I can't get the notification. As far as I have it I have only seen the alert twice. Does anyone have that problem?
Are you have installed last updates with galaxy apps included?
Yep.
