Galaxy gear can't call out? Anyone else with this problem?

Everything else works fine on the watch, but for some reason I can not call out. Every time I try to call out, it ends the call immediately. Anyone else having this problem? Is there something that I need to do to get it to work? It's weird cuz I can receive calls and get text, I can even send out text messages, just can't make calls through the watch.

Reset the Gear and see if that helps. May be a pairing with the Note issue if everything else is working.

In the Gear watch SETTINGS, go to the bottom and there is a RESET Gear option.

There is another reason it might fail, same with any bluetooth device i have used so far with android. If there is no default app for calls ( if you have Skype for example or Google voice and are relying on it prompting you which to use for each call) then it might fail silently too. workaround is to set a default for now. Not ideal though as you loose the option of choosing. (hopefully the gear will get the same choice dialog that the parent phone has)

My note 3 is rooted but it is still set on factory settings, so the phone call button is the default app for calls? Also want to point out, it wasn't working even before I rooted it

You have to disable the lock screen that's the only way

Did this end up working? I'm having a similar problem. I can make calls from the gear, but once they answer and the screen turns off on the gear I press the power button and it flashes on then off again. The only way to make it work is to immediately tap the top right menu button once the call is answered. Same problem when receiving a call too. Really frustrating when I can't end the call and look like a tool asking the other person to hang up or pulling out my phone to do so lol.

FIXED
Sorry to resurrect only thread yet found the solution. Had the same prob, tried the same things without results.
SOLUTION:
On your phone choose Settings -> Device -> Call -> Call Accessories.
It is called "Outgoing Call conditions", and it allows you to set it up so that you can make calls even if the device is locked.
This worked and hope this helps others who may have the same problem.

Verizon Note 3s dont work with Galaxy Gear

Notifications like email and texts do not come in properly. Have no idea how this could be fixed

Are you sure?

Using the Samsung email app but also not getting texts

Reminder, if the phone is on, you will not get a notification to the Gear.
Ian B
Being on different carrier should not matter, I am on Tmobile. Go into the Gear app-settings-notifications, make sure you have that turned on and then hit the word notification to go into submenu and check native email and text apps.
Next, put the phone to sleep, turn it back on, send yourself a text and put phone to sleep right away. Give it about a minute and the text should ring on the phone and in the Gear.

haha you have to turn them on
go to the galaxy gear app on the phone, click settings, click notifications and select messages and mail then hit the thank button for me! haha

Have you checked the notification settings inside the Galaxy Gear Manager program?

Hahahaha they all are on hahaha

Are you sure you have a note 3 and not a Chinese knockoff tote 3

Its directly from Verizon so you never know what scam they have up their sleeve to save a few bucks. I have tried to re pair up the device and same results. Any one have Verizon here?

When you created the gmail account in native email app, did you do manual set up or auto? You may want to delete the account, recreate it by selecting auto after you enter the email address and password. On the next screen, there is a drop down box, select PUSH. Try this, send yourself an email from PC or something, keep the phone asleep and see if you get the notification on the phone followed by notification on Gear. Make sure under the Gear app settings, notifications for email is checked.
Report back if not working.

I receive the text less than a second after my phone gets it. Literally my pocket buzzes and by the time I look down at my watch it vibrates. Then I can read it and reply back with s voice . Not a single problem. I'm in love with both devices.

Yep, and to be honest I didn't do anything special. I'm using the stock messaging app and email. I just took it out of the box and used it.

Any idea what is this and how it effects my gear? I get this at random and always after a reboot.

I noticed this randomly also, Not sure what the F in FOTA stands for.. but OTA is over the air.
So make sure your connected to bluetooth, or if your not using bluetooth to disable it in settings.

Got this after installing ATN. Reset watch and haven't installed ATN again since and hasn't come back. Not sure if there is any correlation here.

I got it before installing ATN so I'm guessing it's not because of ATN. I was thinking it has something to do with me rooting the gear but as mentioned above, if you reboot the gear and your phone Bluetooth is on, you don't get the msg.

Not getting text messages.

I start the morning off good with messages coming through, but then a few hours in they stop, and it is getting really annoying.... I am on latest gear manager and everything....anyone else have this issue? Or know of a fix?
If I can't consistently get messages to my watch, it is worthless.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

I installed the inverted MMS app. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

yep. You need to use the stock app only.

That worked, amazing , thank you

I had the same issue, however the voice toggle on the phone doesnt save when I close out s voice. It defaults back to the no voice.

Mine too. It seems to be a phone setting thing. I've looked and looked but can't figure out how to make it stick.
