I occasionally seem to be missing calls while I'm already in a call. I live in a 3g area, and have had this issue occur on multiple occasions (with confirmed 3g reception). I only found out that I had missed the call, when the person calling just happened to leave a voice mail. Other than the voice mail, there was no indication of the call I had missed. There are times that I receive the incoming call (notification) just fine, however. Any clue as to why this function isn't working reliably?
Might just be your SIM. Try replacing it. Make sure you also have full call waiting services to your mobile.
Which ROM and Radio are you using? Someone with knowledge of either or both may be able to provide some help.
Dear Guys,
I am facing issue of incoming calls on my Samsung LTE tab, when i call on my tab sim, , i hear rining sound on my cell but no incoming calls indications on my tab , i trace it via logcat and below message appears when i call on my tab
W GsmCallTracker: test.voicecall -false
W GsmCallTracker: voice call is not supported!!
As voice_capable also set to TRUE in framework-res.apk file.
Kindly Suggest please..
I use the stock messaging app on my note 4 because I have a GearS smart watch but I was curious if we can have our s2 receive messages (calls would be great aswell). Thanks in advanced.
The S2 T815 with GSM can but if its WIFI only, it cannot. Viber, or something like it, can make calls via WIFI.
When i receive phone calls i dont get the calls in my watch. The incoming calls setting is enabled in the samsung app

How is The Watch connected to Your Phone ?

hi everyone,
I am about to replace my galaxy watch with the GW3 and I am still undecided which version (LTE/BT) I should get.
I have a phone i use as a secondary number, so I could migrate this one to the watch, even if e-sim are not common in my country and this will result in a more expensive plan compared to the one I currently have. Anyway, I will accept it because I will keep my 2 separate numbers and I also could finally go jogging without carrying the phone.
My 2 doubts are:
1-battery life. I am worried that with LTE on all of the time the watch will not last an entire day
2-I am unsure about what will happen when the phone is connected to the watch and I receive a call on the other number on the watch. Is the watch switching in standalone mode?
I understand the ideal use of the LTE version is more like a companion sharing the same contract of the phone rather than using it as a standalone phone, and I could not find any answer on these doubts, so I hope someone here having an user experience could help me in making the right decision
Thanks in advance!

1. When the watch is connected via BT, LTE seems to be switched off.
2. When someone calls or sends me a text on the other number it shows up as if I received it on the handset as if they did not call/text the other number (atleast with my operator, Telia)
I will do some more testing with handset in flight mode etc.

1. there is a setting that will AUTO turn off the mobile network when the watch connects to the phone. you can disable this so the mobile network setting is on if that is what you prefer. for me, i leave it on all the time since the watch has its own working number separate from the phone. so even IF the watch connects to the phone, the mobile network can still stay on.
2. if you use the watch as a PHONE, then thats what it will be-- a phone. if you dont want that, get the BT only version.
when your watch line rings, the phone does not ring. conversely, if you have certain settings enabled in the galaxy wear app, the watch will sync to the phone and ring when the phone rings. this can be seen as a "companion" but make no mistake, the watch can and does stand alone on itself. ive had these lte watches for years and i spak from experience.

I just got a call on my watch and answered on my phone.
I guess this depends on your operator settings for call forwarding etc.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
it is actually not easy, and the scenario is probably also different whether you have 2 numbers on the same contracts or 2 different numbers with 2 different carriers.
to recap:
by default, if BT is connected, then LTE turns off to save battery life, and this makes a lot of sense in consideration of the typical use of a smartwatch, where the cellular connection sums up to BT and wifi in ensuring the watch is always connected to the phone
but
you can turn this auto-switch off, so also when is BT connected the watch will get his own calls/SMS (plus the notification of the phone i guess)
one last question: can you turn off completely LTE ? this would be useful to save battery life when traveling...
Thanks !!
Did some testing, I have the same operator on watch and phone, watchs plan is connected to the phones plan.
1. Phone in flightmode, watch is stand alone, call the WATCH'S number - Only watch rings.
2. Phone in flightmode, watch is stand alone, call the PHONES number - Only watch rings.
3. Phone in flightmode, watch BT connected, call the watch number - Get to voicemail. (Because of LTE getting turned off while on BT)
4. Phone in flightmode, watch BT connected, call the PHONES number - Get to voicemail. (Also because of LTE getting turned off while on BT)
5. Phone using cellular network, BT off, call the watch number - Handset rings, watch stays off
6. LTE on on both Watch and Handset, call either number and both Handset and Watch rings.
So i guess that if you have 2 different operators/plans the watch would behave just as any other phone.

Iv just ordered the BT version of the G3. I’m sure Iv come across something for the US where the carrier gives you a companion number so it basically the identical number as your main number to use in the watch. Trying to find the article.
Anyone know if we have anything like that in the UK.
Any thoughts or experiences from folks on three network here in the UK?
I would love to have the identical number running on both the SIM card in the phone and on the watch and you can activate which ever one is the active line.
Funny enough about 15+ years ago Vodafone Uk did actually have this service!
I have that in UK. My network is Vodafone and they have a service called "OneNumber".
The GW3 shares the same mobile plan you have on the phone and since the mobile network on the GW3 is set to Auto, GW3 will only connect to the mobile network when there is no BT connection between phone and GW3. This means that if you do not have the phone with you, you will get the calls and texts on the GW3.
This works great! No more dependency on BT connection for your watch to get calls and texts!
