I haven't tried it, but I suspect that message is because the Urbane doesn't have a speaker, so you wouldn't be able to hear the other side of the call if it did let you make one.
I was reading that the watch urbane was able to make calls, but i guess that is only the second generation watch then.

Anyone has any idea, why if you go outside the phones range GEAR disconnects, but when you come back it does not want to connect automaticly.
I mean this watch got to get a update soon. with all the problems and lack of software.
OK, maybe I got it.
If you go to Bluetooth settings and click GEAR, you got the choose:
-automatic connection
-ask me every time.
So automatic will be.
But I will not test it, because I already put it on local ebay for 199 eur.
PROBLEMS that Samsung has to fix, or the hell with them:
-controlling music via gear to your phone
-giving the option that gear connects to your phone only with the connection and not with the media. (can not use BT ear set to listen to music) like pebble
-automatic disabling the screen when you go to sleep mode
-giving the alarm in the gear directly and not over the phone
-when answering a phone call with the phone and not the gear, sound comes from the phone instead on the gear (this is the stupid thing ever. I answer the phone and people scream on my wrist)
this is the list witch i can not live without, so come quickly my moto 360.

These two have me confused by exactly what you mean. Obviously you are getting rid of it, im more just curious if im understanding correctly.
I have a BT headset connected and have listened to music directly from my Neo while its still connected to my phone, is this not what you mean?
And when i answer a call from my phone, it comes through my phone, so i am confused by this one as well.

WHAT I meant:
I. example
1 (pebble , phone, BT headset)
All are connected, I can listen to my music which is on my phone, control it via pebble (volume up/down, next song pause....) and listen on my BT headset (BEATGO2)
2. (GEAR and BT Headset)
OK, you can only have 2,4 GB of music on GEAR (for the first time is OK, but I'm not gona change all the time my music collection
I connect BT headset via GEAR and listen to music.
3. (Not possible)
My GEAR connects to my phone. Now I want to listen to my music and put my BT headset. I connect my BT headset and my GEAR immediately disconnects.
Now I can not control my music via GEAR but via BT headset and I don't have GEAR ONLINE so it suxs. And after music, I have to manually connect my GEAR to my phone, and than my BT headset disconnects.
II. example
My gear is connected to my phone (which is the main part of the smart watch).
I got a call. I quickly pull out my phone and answer the phone. I start talking on my phone, but sound is coming not through my phone , but through my GEAR.
Microphone and speaker are on GEAR, I have to click BT speaker OFF on my PHONE to talk through my phone. EVERY TIME. And I don't like to talk all the time over GEAR, In crowded places NO GO.
I wanted to disconnect PHONE functions on my BT setting on my GEAR connection, but there is not a possibility. If i just click anything on GEAR , it just disconnects.
And I will not click every time that i have a call. First ANSWER that quickly BT disconnect,.(it is just stupid)
I hope you all have a good picture of the problem.
Am I missing something in setting or what.
OK, I don't have Samsung phone , I have LG G2, but any case It shouldn't do this.
Im guessing the phone call thing happens to be a downfall of not using a TW device? Seems maybe the phone sees the watch as a headset and tries communicating that way? just a theory.
I think your issue is using a non Samsung phone and thinking a device that's only officially compatible with Samsung phone's will and should work fully.
And finally what gets me angry is people not reading what a device can do BEFORE buying it! If you don't then the only person to blame is yourself and not the company.

why, I know it's not compatible, And I know it works... but this are the small problems, that no one knows before you try. I would go in one minut to SGS4 but I love my G2 and no Samsung for me. Been there done that.
So thanks for the info, than on Samsung phone, calls work.
We are one step closer.
Still I don't know if I'm gona sell it. I put 200 eur so in other way I'm gona wait for the update and work it than. (I like this watch... but...)
I have no option on my z1 for automatic reconnect, and have same trouble when getting out of range, the gear never reconnect unless I toggle bluetooth off and on ( on watch or on phone) or clicking connect in gear manager. Must be a drawback for not using samsung phone as it works with my bluetooth headset.
Call works perfectly though.
If your on a phone that says auto reconnect make sure you hit it, I had to test it with my wife's phone just to make sure it worked properly....If you have a Samsung phone it will auto this for you.....If you have a phone that doesn't have either feature ask your manufacturer about it or ask about it the Q&A section of XDA in device category to see how activate this feature.

i have problem reconnect too, i'm using s4 zoom and every time my gear is getting back to range its not reconnecting.
i have 4.2.2, dont have the option auto connect in bluetooth settings.
any ideas?

well if no one can help wit this can someone at least help me with how to change the dialer in the lg because just downloading a dialer app when i get incoming calls it still uses the stock dialer
I'm positive most can't help with the watch because they don't own a knock off Samsung gear smart watch. Without owning one, there's no way to know anything about your issue. In regards to the dialer app which one are you using? Sometimes they require root but they'll tell you that in the description.

My Setup: LG G5 with Urbane 2nd Edition -
I am unable to get have any text messaging notifications or phone call ability when I am at home. calls and texts ring on phone, and watch sits there no response. I get that it is cellular signal issues, but my phone works fine and there isn't any kind of Bluetooth connection between them that I can tell.
I came from a Galaxy Gear S2, and in the basement when phone would get a call or text, they'd show up just fine on the watch. Not with my new LG G5 and Urbane 2nd edition.
The S2 would work as a Bluetooth external mic and speaker basically, so it didn't rely on the data connectivity for this functionality. Any idea if the Android Wear Urbane 2 can do it?
I'm also working on getting a Microcell from AT&T -
Here is troubleshooting I have performed in get this working:
Factory Reset Watch -
Removed Bluetooth Pairing from Phone -
Uninstalled/Reinstalled Android Wear -
That did nothing, still remembers watch -
"Forget Watch" in Android Wear -
100% from scratch redid "Pair with your watch" process now that both watch and phone have been system updated -
Set to ignore Optimizations while setting up the "Always be connected" options -
Set Screen Always on to OFF -
Started Syncing 21 apps back process automatically -
Successfully reactivated AT&T Number Sync as factory reset sent me a text it disabled -
Verified apps aren't in the blocked notification list -
~~
STILL cannot get text notifications or calls on it when at home -
The other problem I have found with this is my Bluetooth does not have a call or media audio profile option.
Everything else, my car, headset, Gear S2's etc, show "Call" and "Media Audio" profiles in the Bluetooth sync menu for that device.
This Watch only shows Change Watch name and Unpair.
I've read people saying that the Cellular Urbane should be like "Do you want to use watch or phone to place call"

I believe it works this way when numbersync isn't activated. I don't have AT&T so I don't have the numbersync option. Without numbersync, I have an option in my bluetooth settings on the watch for "play phone audio on watch". When paired by bluetooth I have the option to call with phone or watch. I have to use the call forwarding option when I leave the phone behind to get calls to the phone to be sent to the watch.
hm, I tried disabling the Number Sync and re-pairing but it doesn't change the bluetooth profile.
Perhaps it is just AT&T Models don't have it
This thread here confirms that An Urbane 2nd edition should ask "Watch or Phone" when making a call
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/android-wear/v5-gJCTwa3w/VO_ap8b_AQAJ
I see where it specifies watch calling but it never asks which I wanna use

I have the AT&T model. I just don't use AT&T service. I have the option under bluetooth settings on the watch to 'play phone audio on watch'. I believe you have to turn off numbersync in the watch settings and not just through AT&T. Is there a setting on the watch under settings>cellular>number sync.... to deactivate it?

Hi there you need to make sure that you uncheck the options to share number with phone for calls and also texts, you will then have the option to 'pay audio on watch' under bluetooth settings, this was it will notify you of call on watch and phone (much like a standard non LTE/3G wear watch
Just got the watch and apart from the belt I really like it. The one thing that I can't get it to do is to show notification when someone is calling my phone... it simply doesn't do anything. Everything else works perfectly (gmail, whatsapp notifications etc). No custom image or anything - just updated OTA after I powered it on. I don't know if call notifications worked before.
Any clues?
Thanks.

Under the bluetooth settings in the watch have you enabled 'play phone audio on watch'?
I only have the options to rename or unpair under LG 7993.

You may have to disable numbersync or the 'watch shares number with phone' option in order for the 'play audio on watch' option to appear in the bluetooth settings. On my watch it's under settings> cellular> advanced>'watch shares number with phone '. If I turn this off, then I see the audio option in the bluetooth settings. There was a thread about this in the AC forums. Maybe it will help..... http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=664344
Both call and text are off in watch shares number with phone. But this setting in bluetooth would not make all audio from the phone go through the watch just like a bluetooth headset? Doesn't sound good - forget the pun

It doesn't make every sound go through the watch but it does need to be enabled for calls to ring through the watch. No luck with the option appearing? No way to disable numbering? (If it's enabled) The linked thread didn't help?
This is the way mine looks.....
Hah! Found it under settings - bluetooth. I was looking under cellular.
Thank you!

Hello,
I was searching for this options also, with setups in this thread - now my watch see when somebody is calling, but when I answer it sound is directed to the watch... also it disconnects my other bluetooth headphone device... any other way so that LG will notify about call connection and just that?
Thanks for reply...
When I enable 'play phone audio on watch' my car bluetooth is not able to connect to the phone and bluetooth in-ear handsfree has the same problem. Looking at the BT icon on the phone it seems that the watch is acting as a hands-free and the phone does not allow to connect more of them. But the choice between having call notification on the watch and having car handsfree working is a hard one. Anyway able to have both of them simultaneously?

If you place a SIM card in the watch, then it is possible. Of course, the SIM card in the watch must have the same number as the one in your phone. Please note that not a provider offer this so-called MultiSIM option.
Thank you for the explanation. Is 'play phone audio on watch' working the same on Wear 1.5? I'm using AW2.0 and I haven't tried it on original firmware before upgrade.
Small update: on AW2.0 DP4 call notification works even without setting 'play phone audio on watch', active BT connection is enough. So it works and does not collide with hands-free.
Its pity that there is no way to pair AW 2.0 preview watch with iPhone
Anyone else have this issue?
I get calendar , messages by text and email card notifications and it will vibrate my watch. If I get a phone call my phone will ring and\or vibrate but my watch will not vibrate nor show an incoming call.
I'm having the same issue with my zenwatch 2. Everything goes to my watch except calls. Never shows me who's calling.

I'll have to hook my ZW2 to my phone and test this myself.
Check whether "Phone audio" is enabled in phone's Bluetooth settings for paired watch.
Although this option should be checked only in case you want to use built-in speaker of watch (if it has one).
Did any of you guys set your phone up by NFC? There's a known issue, need too set it to manually.
I pair mine manually all the time. Never one used nfc to pair.
