What is the silver button on the original handsfree kit meant to do? when i have an incoming call it wont pick up so, so is there meant to be another function to it or something? thanks
i second that also
this key doesn't answer the incoming call
is there someone else has this problem ?
anyone actally used the handsfree kit?
The wired one? I use mine all the time, answers calls here, and a double press makes it dial last number..
hi, i'am also having the same issues.
the silver button does not pick up calls.
has anyone found a solution for this?
I have the same problem
I live at HK
I have been to the Service Center,
But denied it is the handfree fault but the rom bug..
I argued with them, then changed to a new handfree,
but the problem still there....
Hi everybody,
I'm new here and very grateful for all the brilliant solutions you guys come up with to all sorts of issues with x1.
I have the same problem with my hands-free: the button doesn't work and neither does the microphone. Until now, I've thought of it as a simple matter of replacing the hands-free kit, but now I see the suggestion that this is a Rom bug! Will anyone be able to elaborate a bit on this?
thanks and best regards,
Sune
Really not sure it is real or not that is a rom or software bug,
but sure quite a number of problem of people experienced such problem!
I hope SE not to put a death ear on this issue.
It is really annoying as I quite often used the handfree.
hello everyone
the same problem on my russian x1 handsfree. Have tried to fix it with some patches - no results. Then I've bought Nokia Xpress music handsfree, and it works perfectly (and radio works too).
update
VERY SAD, but it doesn't fix the problem. bad quality of X1 jack - thats the problem. Xpress key doesn't answer the incoming call periodically too, but handsfree itself working good all the time

The first time i got to know the headphone dosen;t work in answering call, I really feel astonished. It is such a basic function of phone, how can the genius of SE dose not test it. Do them think we will buy another handfree???
Really disappointed of SE.....

Hi I'm Chris from Sri lanka,
Yes, I have the same issue! The handsfree seems to work when I remove it and re insert the jack during an incoming call, but not initially! It is very temeperamental and annoying. I also have a problem when I get an another call when I'm already on a call while using the handsfree. The current call goes to speaker phone and the party cannot hear wht I'm saying through my handsfree!
So I am forced to remove the handsfree and talk during such instances! Crazy this, especially since answering phone calls is one of the core functions of a cell phone! what's the point in having all the frills when answering a call is so tedious!
This is very disppointing, especially with such a high price tag to boot!
same case here. im really disappointed...
i guess that if i can when asus glaxy came out i will change mi xperia for that one... this phone is really "buggy"...
Same probleme here unfortunately.. I tried to remove all
additional programs related to dialing and volume,
switched to the new ROM, but no changes. Button on headset
does not work and microphone neither.
I also have same issue, both HK new stock ROM & cook rom also.
i'm form India, had purchased Xperia X1i and using Airtel network. when i connect my hands free and attend one call the moment second call come, automatically my loud speaker gets activated.
is any facing the same problem in Indai or any where else? will any one help me this.
is there any solutions?

Samething here, and the above works for me too (Remove and re insert), but SE really need to fix this for us.
I believe it's a hardware problem, bad 3.5mm jack!
My right earphone's volume has fallen to one tenth. I have it for less than a month. Good listening but bad manufacturing quality.
Personally I don't think it's bad hardware, I think it's bad firmware/rom.
Currently, with GENERIC UK ROM R2AA010, three presses of headset button dials last number, long press disconnects. Not tried incoming call yet.
I really need to be able to customize this buttons function, especially to activate Voice Command, so that I can make calls, play music etc, without the need for touching the phone. Only then, will I be able to make a button for the handlebars on my motorbike.
Want to use a fully wired system to save on battery power, rather than bluetooth. Also, in all the years of using bluetooth, I have yet to find a combination of handset and headset that work seamlessly.
So far, not impressed with the lack of functionality of this headset, but can see why it works like this. Essentially SE should have included Voice Command, then this hardware/software combination would have been shipped working effectively. I think it is merely a cost saving exercise and SE need to provide a patch and fix in their next rom release.
Anyone know How to make a call from the Note 3 and not have it go through Galaxy Gear watch? Iam not sure if its possible. If I start a call from my phone I want to use my phone for the call.
Thanks

The call unfortunately goes through the watch. Annoying
If you initiate a call from the phone, it should only transfer when you hit the headset button on the screen... might want to reset the Gear and re pair it...
Or turn off Bluetooth and it won't go through gear.

Something isn't setup right if your calls are going to the watch by default. The only calls that go to my watch are calls started on the watch, calls answered from the watch, or calls transferred to the watch after they have started. Calls made on the phone stay on the phone unless I specifically send them to the watch. Are you sure you don't have the watch set to act as a wireless headset full time?

I dunno if this is your problem but I had a problem one time with some phone where the button you push to transfer the call to blue tooth was always on. Every time I made a call I had to take the phone off Bluetooth. I don't have my note 3 yet so can't tell you how to do it but in the phone app look for the headset button. On my note 2 it is right the on the main screen during a call

Are you guys using a Note 3? The problem you are describing happens with my S4 when it's paired to the Gear but never happens paired to the Note 3.
I think that's what it's supposed to be because mine goes thru the Gear as well. Still fiddling with my phone's settings... but just hit the green-lit Headset icon then it's good to go.
When I get a call, both the Note 3 and the Gear show an incoming call. It is up to me to swipe on the Gear or the Note to answer the call and continue the call on whichever one I swiped to accept the call.

If I initiate my call from the phone, it stays on the phone.
If I initiate my call from the watch, it stays on the watch until I transfer.
The same thing is true about receiving the call. It's working as expected.

Same problem with S4. All the time, when i start call from phone i have to push headset button off. Till now i did not find any settings in phone to change it.
... Oh, and it's an S4 not a Note 3, FWIW...
how should be the game if you have a bluetooth headset/ car bluetooth either doing a call or receiving one?

Hi, I'm considering on buying galaxy gear
So what if I pair galaxy gear and bluetooth headset simultaneously on Note3
If I initiate my call from phone, Can I talk on bluetooth headset right away or do I have to do something on gear first?
and if I have incoming call, Can I push the answer button on my bluetooth headset and have a conversation or do I have to answer from the gear and transfer to my bluetooth headset?
Really need to know these information before deciding whether to purchase or not.
Many Thanks in advance
Hi
I was just wondering if this, or any other smartwatch, can be used in conjunction with bluetooth headphones? Or can only one bluetooth device be connected to phone at the same time?
This could prove to be a massive dealbreaker for me.
Cheers for any info
Good question as I have a set of Motorola Bluetooth headphones.
Ian B
I could swear that I read somewhere someone has a note 3 paired with a gear and using some Bluetooth headphones. I believe they claim they can user the controls on either the headphones and watch to make and receive calls. So, could use the watch to answer and would be using the Bluetooth headset for the mic and speaker.

I have been only able to connect my bt headset for music while the gear is set to phone audio. I really wish there was a way to disable that.

I mean it doesn't really make much sense to not have that. Would be ideal being able to see who is ringing via the watch but speaking and listening via the headset.
That IMO is what it's all about. Not many people are wanting to talk into their watch and listen via a loudspeaker

That is not possible except if you have a Note 3 or a Note 2 with the leaked 4.3 from Samsung
I have a Note 8 3g with I use as main phone-tablet during working days, 4.2.2, and acquired a gear. Everything (more or less....) was working except the handling of the bluetooth headset. It maybe related some software piece from Samusung included on the official 4.3.
I have seen the update on 4.3 plan and my device looks not included until maybe end of the year or early next January.... uff, sami, you are loosing a customer.
Finally, after test with 2 diferent gears, I have decided to acquire a sony smartwatch sw2 which works like a charm with the note 8 3g. You can imagine for me, using the tablet 8" as phone, that no possible without a bluetooth headset. The other option was to talk through the watch and it looks stupid and no possible to have confidentiality in the calls.....

I used my LG Tones+ headset to pair up while my watch was also paired. It does work, but I had to press a button on my headset to let it know to go to that device. By pressing the headset button while in the call, the watch picked up the phone call first, then I pressed a button on my Tones headset to get it over to that. By answering the the Tones headset, it goes straight there.

What phone and android version do you have?
Ok well its good to know it can work.. I will wait until my Note II gets updated and see if the agent smartwatch/gear 2 have to offer before I decide.
In no rush but I'll probably get a smartwatch at some point. I just don't want it to affect usage of my bluebuds x bluetooth earphones.
On my N3 I have both a Gear and my car stereo blue toothed at the same time. All works fine.

This. I forgot about this. I have Ford Sync and it works fine as well. I answer texts using S Voice on my watch and still make phone calls over Sync.
I am using the Gear in combination with a Note 3 and a Pair of Sony MDR-1RBT's and they work flawlessly. The Gear doesn't interfere with Bluetooth Audio on the phone.

Hi,
IF this is the case why spend a fortune on the gear and not make use of its potential? Why not purchase the new Sony 11? That would give you the notifications you require plus the ability to use a BT head set?
Just a thought.

I don't think its very feasible for the vast majority of people to use the watch as a loudspeaker/phone for privacy issues + annoying everyone else.
I wasn't planning on getting the gear anyway as I don't think it's a good buy. (Given its price). I plan to wait until the gear 2 or agent smartwatch arrive. It would also be nice to also be able to use it see change tracks, view album art/info for music too while listening to music through bluetooth earphones too.
In essence, I don't agree that being forced to speak to the watch on loudspeaker in front of everyone is using the watch to its potential. I find this more a massive drawback than a positive. Being able to use my earphones to listen is, IMO, the full potential.
Hopefully this will be the case with all these watches, as it is the most logical.
It works for me now. The gear and my BT works now since I got back on to MI9 firmware

I use the set of NOTE3 + MW600 + Gear - so far it works fine.
However - I have MW1 headset and .... it does not work with NOTE 3 - each time You start the phone call it is necessary to manually activate "headset" on the phone!

What year sync do you have? I have a 2009 Sync and mine disconnects Sync from phone audio whenever I try to make a call. Reconnecting works for 5 seconds then disconnects. Even after disconnecting the gear from bluetooth, sync is still doing this now.
I am wondering if i can use the Galaxy S as a standalone after pairing it with my N4. I would like to use a bluetooth headset paired with the watch so i don't have to use the speaker mode. IS that possible? Has anyone tried this?

On the chinese GV09s / (U8 ?) phone, you can successfully connect a BT headset directly
In BT dialer, you can select 'new device' and next put your BT headset in pairing.
The BT headset can be used for 'local music', (SIM) direct phone, radio etcetera. It works nice
Hi,
I've recently gotten the Mi5 and one issue that i have discovered is that when i connect it to the car hands free (Toyota Yaris with Toyota Touch 1) It doesn't let me speak and i can't hear the person on the other end.
There is a workaround where i would have to on the phone swap the output from Bluetooth - Handsfree - back to bluetooth and then it starts working again. I'm not sure its possible to replace the stock phone app on the device but although there is a work around it defeats the purpose of hands free calling if i have to do that while in the car!
Anyone have any ideas for a fix?
Thanks,

Hi gavrai,
I have the same bluetooth issue. But when I answer the call using my phone I can talk using my car's audio without using the 'Bluetooth - Handsfree - back to bluetooth' method.
I am running the MIUI Global 7.2.4.0.0(MAACNDB) on my Mi5 connecting to a Volvo V40.
When I connect a HTC M7 or M8 to the car everything is working ok.
Hope someone has an idea
Maybe we should check the Xiaomi forums if there are any.....
I've got a mi5 and if I'm listening to music and then use the speaker of the phone, i.e. make a call, receive a call, make a voice recording to send via FB messenger or voice recording to send by text, then, when it switches back to music/podcast/bluetooth, the music/podcast starts skipping, like a record. I cannot figure out how to stop this glitch from happening. I've had one or two updates since I got the phone but this keeps happening and it's really frustrating. The only way I can stop the skipping is to turn off my bluetooth and then turn it back on. Any one have this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks
Gear S3 frontier paired with new Note 9 causing issues in whatsapp. Everytime I make a whatsapp call the Bluetooth Icon is always on/selected and sometimes calls go on speakerphone. Also randomly WhatsApp hangs and no way to hangup the call but to request other party to hangup call and WhatsApp resumes. Making normal calls over GSM carrier works fine.

EXACTLY SAME SITUATION AS ME! Pairs the S3 with the Note 9 and i have tried over 3 different BT headsets which result in the same outcome.
1) Hitting answer on the BT headset doesnt answer the phone
2) Sliding the answer slide for recieving a whatsapp voice call results in the BT icon on, loudspeaker off but the call still goes on loudspeaker mode.
But if I unpair the S3, problem 1 still exists, but problem 2 disappears. All firmwares are up to date.

WhatsApp causing many issues
Hello
I have an S9 Plus. Once upon a time, I was receiving whatsapp calls on my gear S3 as a norm. Everything dandy. Wouldnt need to go running to go fetch my phone just so I can answer a whatsapp call. Just pick it up on my phone. It was the convenience and a major plus. Now long gone.
However, now, I have for a few months, come to notice that i can no longer pick up whatsapp call in my car using the button on my steering wheel, or by clicking the pickup button on the gps screen. Although the call shows up on the screen, it can only be received by sliding up on the phone which makes it a very unsafe situation because I now have to take my eyes of the road and start sliding on tthephone screen to receive a call. Things, instead of getting better and safer, they are becoming unsafe.
Oh I am on Android 9.0 and it was working fine on 9.0 before.
