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.

Hi There!
I have the following questions re Bluetooth:
1) How can I configure a connection priority.. IE If it can detect my Carkit, don't connect to my Headset?
2) Is there a Bluetooth Widget that lists any devices paired with my phone so I can connect and disconnect them at will?
Anyone able to shed light on this?

I'd use Tasker for that myself.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Anyone else have anything to recommend? 10 billion apps nothing for this which seems fundamental?
You can now turn Tasker tasks into apps, I could make one for you and sell it on the Play Store
Hi everyone,
I am an owner of the GSIII I747M and the ASUS Transformer, both running ICS. I recently had this idea (fantasy?) where I mount the Transformer in my car, hook it up to the car speakers and basically use it as my in-car infotainment system instead of the headunit that's in there. Nothing wrong with my in-car headunit (except the fact that I can't get bluetooth to work with my GSIII), but the tablet will give me tons more features. When I enter the car, I want the tablet to automatically tether to my phone via wi-fi and via bluetooth. Wi-fi is for internet access and it works just fine. The bluetooth is for the hands-free profile, so that when I receive a call, the music/navigation/whatever gets interrupted and I can take the call. I also want to be able to dial from the tablet.
When I connect the two devices via bluetooth, I don't have a hands-free profile; indeed I have no useful profiles at all. My question is simple: is there an app for that? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
Hi guys, I wonder if I could get an answer to something that I can't seem to figure out.
I currently have an HTC One M8, which when I get into my car, automatically pairs to the car's Bluetooth system & allows me to use voice control to dial, and also play music through the car stereo (also via Bluetooth).
What I can't figure out, is if I were to buy a smartwatch (The LG is what i'm looking at), then I assume that the watch connects to the phone using Bluetooth? If that is the case, then what happens, if my phone & watch are currently paired together when I get into my car?
I'm under the impression that Bluetooth only was between 2 devices? If so, would I need to manually disconnect the phone from the watch and then manually connect it to the car? Or would the phone automatically drop the watch connection when it saw the in-car connection available? Or can the phone somehow remain connected to both Bluetooth devices at the same time?
I can't be the only person that might have in-car Bluetooth that's also thinking about/already owns a smartwatch?
Maybe I'm just over-thinking it?
Thanks in advance for any information.

I have the Omate Truesmart. I keep it paired to my Note3, and also use LG Tone bt headphones or with my car radio JVC Kameleon. The difference is when you click on the settings icon for the connected device in the BT menu on the phone. It will list the headphones/car radio as phone and media audio and allows me to play music through them or use as bluetooth connection for calls, and skip tracks and play pause. For the watch it lists the connection type as internet use, and I can use the watch to view and skip tracks, view/answer/dismiss calls, reply to notifications. I am guessing the android wear devices will probably work the same way.

Many thanks for the reply.
So, for all intents & purposes, I can, in real terms, keep the phone connected to both the watch & the in-car audio at the same time?

Thanks very much for your responses guys. I ended up ordering the Samsung instead of the LG in the end (Which is odd, as I dislike their phones).
I have a Galaxy Gear and keep it connected to my phone all the time as well as my LG Tone+ , I haven't experienced any issues with the two. I'm assuming that the Android Wear stuff will work similarly if not better.
Good question

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?
Just got a Verizon GS and am noticing that my typical setup, Watch on left hand, BT headset in right ear I get constant disconnects with
my Bluetooth headset.
The connection will drop and the call audio will revert to the speaker on the watch.
I have tried disabling WiFi and GPS with no success.
Anyone else having this issue?

I don't have this issue but I did have a similar problem when I was using a Sony BT headset with my old Galaxy Gear.
I corrected this issue with an excellent app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect"

It's useful for prioritising bluetooth devices. It might be helpful, then again the Gear S does have unusual connection bridging. It's worth a go.

Its a BT 4.0 headset, its the new Jawbone ERA, no issues with other devices.
Hi,
I`m using a Plantronics headset, which works fine with my Samsung S4 (and all other phones).
Now, I`ve tried to connect the headset to my Gear. The connection itself works fine and without any problem.
But, and that`s angrily, I can use the headset only when the Gear is not connected via BT to my mobile (S4).
Inside the Tel-App, the headset symbole is not shown (greyed out), but inside the BT Headset configuration profile shown as "paired".
If I disconnect my BT connection between the mobile and the Gear, the headset works at once with the gear.
Many configurations checked, I`ve no more ideas.
Any hint?
Thanks in advance, tregobad
Update:
I`ve checked again how it works.
My Headset (Plantronics 725) is connected with the mobile AND Gear S.
Mobile and Gear are connected via BT.
If I get a call, both devices ringing (Multi Sim). Doesn`t matter if I accept the call at the mobile OR Gear, i can use the Headset.
But , if I accept the call at the Gear and use the Headset, the mobile is used and connected with the Headset.
That means:
mobile and Gear BT connected = Headset connects to mobile
disconnected = Headset connect to the device you be beside, mobile OR Gear

I'm experiencing an issue that may be related. I have my Gear S connected with my Note 4 and when I turn on a BT headset that's only paired to my Note 4, the Gear S disconnects. I then manually go and reconnect my Gear S to my Note 4.
Is there a way to keep the Gear S connected to my Note 4 when I turn on my BT headset? Or will the Gear S always disconnect from my Note 4 when a different audio device connects to the Note 4?
