I am continuously seeing a call issue when either a Galaxy Watch or Gear S3 is paired with my Note 9. This issue is seen on apps such as Whatsapp and Telegram. When the call is made, the call gets routed to the speaker on the watch instead of the phone by default. Because of this, the screen doesnt turn off when placed on the ear. On the bluetooth setting, the "Call Audio" is always enabled and "Input Device" is disabled. On trying to disable the Call Audio, the phone loses connection and pair. The watch then has to be re-paired to get it to connect again.
I first noticed this issue on the Gear S3. Thinking it was an issue with the watch, I sold that off and got the Galaxy Watch where is issue still persists.
I contacted Whatsapp and they said that its an issue with the device and not an app issue.
Has anyone else faced this issue? Any solution to fix this yet?

Hi guys,
In my car, I have a Kenwood Kdc-w4737u radio with bluetooth module Kca-bt100.
Allow me to explain what happens after pairing:
1. Bluetooth ON: When turning bluetooth on, S4 pairs and says "in call" (ghost and muted call), although no call and no app is actually running...
2. Temporary fix: Making a phone call actually solves this problem and S4 starts behaving like it should.
3. After the fix, while on Radio/CD/USB, I receive a phone call that goes through bluetooth, end call goes back to radio/cd/usb.
4. Start Navigon GPS, similar problem like in 1. Navigon seems to open a dedicated audio channel that never goes to sleep. Stays silent when no audio directions are playing instead of going back to Radio/CD/USB.
On my Iphone 4 I do not have any of these issues. Turning Bluetooth on does not start a ghost muted call. While on Radio/CD/USB, receive a phone call activates bluetooth, end call goes back to radio. Same with Navigon GPS, new voice directions activate bluetooth, when voice instructions ends, goes back to radio/cd/usb. Perfect.
I already know that the bluetooth on S4 is the latest chip and version and etc, what I would really like to know is if anyone got a fix for this, I have tried a few apps that control bluetooth in the app market and none works.
Thanks in advance.
If you have an S4 and not the S4 Active, you are in the wrong forum.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem from a few days with my car bluetooth system and my S4 (previously it was working flawlessly), did you solved? or at least found something about it?
Thanks
not really
I have given up on my galaxy S4 and went back to iphone 4. Galaxy over time presented too many random bugs with too many of my daily tasks.
If you make a phone call immediately after connecting the bluetooth, the issue is gone UNTIL you disable bluetooth. Next time you turn bluetooth on you will have to repeat the process.
Over time (after a few weeks) I never got THIS issue back, so I never had to make a quick call for it to behave normally.
Also note that Galaxy S4 has a newer bluetooth version, and most car players have the 2.0, which I believe to be the cause of most issues.
My phone is connected to my car and whenever i get call waiting, it will switch to phone's speaker. It bugs me out so much. Any solution?
Thanks guys.

No one else has this problem?

I am also experiencing this problem. I previously had a Note 3. After a software update on the Note 3, I started experiencing the problem that you describe. When wearing my Plantronics Bluetooth earpiece I would lose connection with the phone whenever I received another call (call waiting). If I ignored the incoming call it would lose connection right after the incoming call went to voicemail. If I attempted to answer the call, the Bluetooth connection would also disconnect. After much frustration, I contacted customer support. Customer Support advised me to upgrade to the Galaxy Note 4 claiming that it would solve my problems. Unfortunately I am still having the issue. Not only do I have issues with the Plantronics earpiece but also in my car. I never had these problems until the update from 4.2. I am on the verge of returning the phone and trying my first Apple product. Frustrated!!!
All over the net I'm reading about Bluetooth issues with the Note 4 and G3. From what I've read I'm thinking there's an issue with the new Bluetooth 4.1 standard. Meta data problems with a range of vehicle head units and device discovery issues. Not isolated to any one carrier or Bluetooth device.
So I went to the T-Mobile store today with a new Bluetooth earpiece that was dropping connection when a call waiting call came in. The associate there turned off the "Voice over LTE" setting and my Bluetooth connection began working correctly on my earpiece and my car. Weird....
I think i fixed it by clearing cache and data under Bluetooth sharing app. No need to turn Volte off.
I was good for a few days after turning off the "Voice over LTE" setting but then my Bluetooth issues started occurring again. Went back to T-Mobile store and after some research by the store rep, he cleared the cache in the "Bluetooth Share" application and everything went back to normal. So yeah, clearing the "Bluetooth Share" cache will fix this issue.
I have a note 3 stock 5.0 and stock gear 2 with all updates. My gear receives all notifications except phone calls. I even get missed call notifications. I can also use gear 2 dialer to make phone calls. I have tried restarting phone and restarting gear 2. Even tried connecting and disconnecting gear 2. Also toggle bluetooth. Watch is connected in bluetooth to phone audio.
Is there some setting I am missing. Everything works except I cannot reject or receive a phone call. Gear does not respond at all when phone is ringing. Please help if you can. I really need this function. I know it used to work. I cann9t find phone as a separate item on the notifications list. I don't know if it should be there to check.
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.
I have an original Galaxy Watch and just got an S21 Ultra on Friday. My S9 worked fine with "mute connected phone" enabled. On the S21 Ultra I'm still getting audible and vibrating alerts, but not all the time. It's weird. Has anyone else seen this? Toggling the setting off and on in the Galaxy Wearable app works for a little bit but it then stops working.
Could be android 11 problem check per app settings to see why it gives sound even if muted.
