2 things:
SM-N950F vs. My phone (Galaxy Note8) audio output
Gear Sport preference reset
(links are to cropped screenshots)
First, I somehow have 2 audio devices available at all times and the default is the "wrong" one. Whenever I disconnect from an external audio device (plug-in earphones, car's bluetooth, etc) it defaults to "SM-N950F" which is just silent all the time and I have to manually change to "My phone (Galaxy Note8)" every time. If I open the Samsung Connect app manually neither audio device is listed anywhere for me to change the default or find any detailed info.
Second, no matter how many times I tell it not to show my Gear Sport in the notification panel it "forgets" this setting seemingly at random. Not a massive annoyance seeing it in the notification panel, but it is a massive annoyance that Samsung Connect apparently doesn't give a sh*t about my preferences.
I only got both devices on Wednesday 17th and I set the OS and all apps to update automatically even over mobile data so everything should be the latest version. I haven't tried uninstalling Samsung Connect yet as I'm worried it'll get stuck on the "SM-N950F" audio device and then I have to wipe my phone or something.
Anyone encounter something similar before?
Dear all
First post so here goes. Had my 7 plus exactly a week.
Specs as follows:
Model TA 1055
Android 8.1
1st June 2018 Security patch
unrooted but themed with Substratum (Swift Black)
So my phone won't detect either my amazon bluetooth adapter plugged into my bedside radio or my creative bluetooth speakers. My lenovo p2 can find these without issue. Strangely it can connect to my PC's bluetooth which gives a passcode. I've cleared bluetooth cache and still not fixed. Anybody else had bluetooth issues?
TA-1046 here with June patch and I have bluetooth issues as well.
I was not able to connect my Gear S3 smartwatch to my phone, untill I decided to turn off BT and turn it back on again.
Suddenly it worked.
Then I was not able to update my S3 apps from the Samsung App Store, untill I stopped BT and turned it back on again.
It seems to me that there is a BT issues in the June patch.
How it was before, I don't know as I received this phone 2 days ago and it updated automatically to June update.
Sorry for adding more negativity to this forum than assistance.
I am also having similar problem with connecting to my LG sound bar. It picks it up when i search, saves it but does not connect.
BT issues
Well unfortunately I have to say same. BT even can't see any device during scanning. Other devices each between other works. Other devices also see N7+ and can pair with it. Seems like scanning doesn't work for me on N7+.
I tried reset networks, clear BT cache couple of times - didn't changed anything. Still wanna avoid factory reset.
No mods, no root.
I'm bit surprised (in the sad way) by this device :-/
In the meantime BT has worked quite well for a couple of days, untill today.....
I could connect to my Gear S3, but not much later I notice new notifications on my phone but no popup on my watch.
It turned out that BT was not connected anymore.
Manually connected and the same process happens again.
Untill I rebooted my phone. From then on, my watch stayed paired with the phone and didn't loose connection.

I lose the connection to my Gear S3 several times a day.

Try resetting your Gear S3 to factory defaults and remove BT settings on phone.
(also clear BT cache).
I had to set up my watch a couple of times.
Still it disconnects sometimes, but then a normal reboot of the phone helps to get the connection back.
Submitted this to another thread, but I'll copy paste it here.
I recently got Bluetooth headphones and found that playback easily got choppy if a part of my body was in between my headset and phone, or if the phone got locked. I did find a solution to this however, and not sure if it would work for everyone that has Bluetooth issues as well.
It seems as if Bluetooth has its own app on Android 8.1, and due to this, it's getting managed by Doze or the automatic app power saving that's on by default. I switched off battery management using the following steps:
1. Go to Settings
2. Apps & Notifications
3. Tap on the option that says "See all x apps"
4. Tap on the top right hand 3 dots.
5. Tap on "Show system"
6. Scroll down until you find "Bluetooth" and tap on it
7. Tap on Battery
8. Tap on Battery Optimisation
9. Press the blue dropdown that should say "Not optimised", and select "All apps"
10. Find Bluetooth again, tap on it.
11. Optimise should be ticked, tick "Don't Optimise" instead, then press Done.
My Nokia 7 plus cannot find other Bluetooth devices.
I cleared cache, went to battery optimisation settings, ticked on the Bluetooth icon and selected *"Don't optimise"* turned on my Bluetooth to search for other devices and still this same problem persists. Can't find other Bluetooth devices including phones, tablets and headsets. I'm really confused on why there should be such a problem. I don't want to Reset to Factory settings. But I'm not being left with any other choice. I'm so upset that I have to spend so much and yet other cheap phones can search for other devices so easily.. please I need a solution immediately
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?
Reset and don't restore your settings. Follow the followinf link for details: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...owing-incoming-calls-anymore-wifi/td-p/193665
Hello,
I am curious to see if anyone else had or still has this issue and if there is a fix for it.
Devices involved:
Phone - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N9600) Android Version: 8.1.0 Build Number N9600ZHU1ARH2 (08/01/2018 release)
Watch - Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm (LTE model through T-Mobile) on latest firmware
Before rooting with Magisk I was able to pair the watch to the phone using the Galaxy Wearable App and use the watch with no problems.
After rooting with Magisk v17.1 (stable) I was no longer able to pair the watch. It would start out fine by showing a matching passkey on both devices. I accept the code and they would begin to pair. Once the watch displays "Use phone to complete setup" is when the problems presented.
The Galaxy Wearable app will say its pairing the devices but shows nothing and keeps sending a notification saying it sees the watch and asks to connect or cancel. I tap connect and I get a white screen with a spinning circle. After 3-5 seconds the white screen goes away and 3-5 seconds later I am asked to connect the watch again.
If I go to Settings>Connections>Bluetooth (on the phone) I can see the watch is paired but the app will not complete setup. (I can pair to my car Bluetooth and JBL Charge 4 speaker with no problems)
I am using Magisk Hide on the Galaxy Watch Plugin, Galaxy Wearable App, and Samsung Accessory Service but that hasn't helped. Nor does uninstalling and reinstalling Galaxy Wearable App.
I upgraded Magisk to v17.3 (beta) and still have the same issue.
SafetyNet check pass on ctsProfile and basicIntegrity
Any thoughts?
Also, does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying notification from SecurityLogAgent that says:
"Security Notice
Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo these actions"
Tapping on the notification opens Device Security and then tapping restart in device Security boots to TWRP
Thanks!!
And I have same problem
Please help us
Ybien tengo el mismo problema. Por favor ayuda. S10 con Magisk y Galaxi watch 2.
I loaded the latest pie last night.
Now Samsung gear won't connect to my Galaxy watch.
Message "check your system files for update"
This must have been left off this beta build.
Anyone been able to connect to their watch on pie?
Mine is working fine. I have the 42mm BT Galaxy Watch. I have noticed that BT streaming music is a bit choppy but not sure that is the watch affecting it.
