Are there any smartwatches out there for under a $100 bucks that don't have call functions and only show you the name and number of who's calling when it comes to phone calls? If not, are there any smartwatches in the same price range that a bluetooth headset can be paired to while the watch is paired to my phone so that everyone doesn't hear my phone conversation when accepting a call through the smartwatch? I've seen smartwatches that come with earphones but not many and though I would prefer to talk through bluetooth headset, earphones would be the next best thing.
Thank you in advance for any help.

HI all,
I got a t-mobile Vario II and have a plantronics 655 handsfree. I have searched the forum but found nothing that answers my problem.
I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and when the handsfree is paired the sound to come through the handsfree. I have tried a few handsfree kits but none seem to work and all the calls come through the phone until i pull the handsfree out of my ear hit answer n put it back in. Am i missing something? I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and talk through my handsfree. When i make a phone call however from the phone it works fine and the sound comes through the handsfree like it should.
I read something about a handsfree profile...where is that? i don't have a handsfree profile option on my phone. Is it an add-on. I tried the handsfree with my ericsson phone and when u answer from the phone it asks if i want the audio through the handset or the handsfree..
hellpppppp...its driving me madd lol
I Take it no one knows the answer to this or has created a patch? Does everyone answer there phone from the answer button on the bluetooth handsfree then? ??
What you are trying to do, is contrary to the feature designed into your dialer. When you answer the phone call from the phone instead of the connected headset, you obviously wanted to talk via the phone not the headset so that is where it routes the call. You can get it back to the headset after you answered on your phone by selecting the menu option and selecting "Turn Handsfree On".
similar issue
I have an ATT branded 8525, and a Motorola H550.
I'm using the built in voice dialer, as I really don't feel like shelling out any more money for voice commander, when I'm paying for the spb products I have (pocketplus, mobile shell, and phone suite).
With other phones, I could use the phone (by hand) to dial a number, while wearing the BT headset, and it would automatically put the conversation on the phone.
This doesn't.
Also, when I receive a call, I don't get the ringtones I have selected for specific callers, just a generic beep.

That issue is actually unrelated. The issue that arnie_ahu has is trying to do something differently than the phone design. However, your issue is a real issue. Dialing on the phone and pressing call should send the call to the headset if it is connected properly. The ony conclusion I can think of is that it is not connected properly as a headset.
In my experience, this is Bluetooth device specific. When I use my Jawbone, I can answer on the phone and the conversation will be on the Jawbone. However, if I use a Plantronics 320 and answer on the phone, the conversation will be on the phone.
The reason why I answer using the phone instead of using the Bluetooth headset is out of courtesy to the caller. For some reason, when I answer with a Bluetooth device, the caller hears a very loud sound that is reminiscent of a fog horn. I have experienced this with multiple phones and headsets. I am guessing this is related to the Bluetooth handshake.
edited: spelling correction.
It may be (for me) because I am using mp3 ringtones on a mono earpiece.
From what I have found on line, that won't work with WM5, which sucks, because it worked on my old piece of crap nokia 6230.
Why oh why must this be so hard?
Now I have to try and convert the mp3 ringtones I made from full songs to something the phone will use.
if there any way to get the jabra bt8010 to display for things other then caller id ? such as text messages or system notification?
programs or mods would be nice X-)
Sorry for a bit offtopic, but I am curently searching for a BT headphone. My current crappy Nokia one can't even pickup the call.
Can you please give your personal opinion about this headphone? How does it work with Kaiser? Can you pick up the call, reject it or silence it all by a headphone? I like the fact that it uses USB cable to charge since I already have car USB charger so I'd be able to charge it in my car.
It's very expensive in Slovenia around 160$ but I could order it from US and ship to Europe.
Thanks.
Edit:
What is a good bluetooth earpiece (not headset, sorry about that) to use for phone calling. I want to use the tab as a cell phone.
I use the BlueAnt T1. About $80 at Bestbuy. Excellent headset except that the T-mobile Tab isn't set up with voice dialing.The BlueAnt headset has voice dialing capabilities but the tab doesn't...as far as I can tell anyway.
Other than that the BlueAnt does everything that I need.
Bugman do a search for voice dial, or bluetooth dial.
There is a thread with an .apk that makes the tab work on BT voice dial

I used Nokia BH-905 BT headset. It works with Skype too.
Quality is superb.

I'm using the Motorola SD9-HD. This is a stereo headset that works well for music, as well as phone calls. Bought it online for around $45. I've used it with my Sprint SGT to make Skype calls and listen to Slacker online radio.
It will accept voice commands for dialing out on my Moto Droid but I don't think the Tab is set up for it.
I think that you guys misunderstood me.
I am looking for a bluetooth earpiece (not headset, sorry) that I can use to make and take phone calls from the Galaxy tab.
I need it small enough to put it in my pants pocket.
Thanks.
Oops! I think there are any number to choose from, although I never had much luck with Bluetooth headsets for longer than a few months. Not really sure why. For reliability I've pretty much standardized on cheap, corded headsets for everyday use.
I think the last BT headset I had was a Jawbone because it was supposed to use DARPA technology to cancel out background noise. After a couple of months it quit pairing, but I never determined if it was the headset, the phone or just a ghost in the machine.

Hello,
I have a u8 smart watch. And pair with my phone.
My problem is this:
When a call arrives, my phone and watch is ringing. And i answer call on my watch, i talk on the watch. Also i answer on the phone, it always send sound and mic. To the watch.
Now, is there a way that selecting active device for speaking on it.
Ios do it like i told. If you answer on the watch you speak on the watch, and ıf you answer on the phone you speak on the phone.
Is there a way for control speaking device (watch or phone).
Thank you...
If I recall, the u8 connects as a media device only, and requires phone audio or call audio to be routed, or it disconnects? If so, then no, I don't think you can manage that.
You do it on the phone. Select anything but Bluetooth.
Maybe you can try a program like automateit to disable BT on incoming calls until hangup.
I'd certainly buy the watch that has an "answer on phone" button on the incoming call screen. I believe it's one of the standard Bluetooth headset commands so why don't they use it?
I partially solved the problem with tasker. I scheduled a task that sets bt off when call screen. Thank you anyway my friends.
Hi hello guys how are you. So i have th essential phone and the gear s3 frontier. When the watch is paired to the phone whenever i receive or make a phone call even using the phones dialer. I would get no sound at all. The other person cant hear me either. I noticed that even if i pick up a call with the phone it would automatically switch to the watch. I think it might be a glitch thinking is more like a radio Bluetooth. So even if i switch to the phone or speaker. No audio at all. If i turn off the Bluetooth everything is back to normal. Any suggestions. I would like to keep on using my watch. Sometimes im not near my phone and would like to talk through the watch. If i go into the Bluetooth settings i can toggle the option for voice calls. I would get the notification when receiving a call but on the watch i cant only decline now.
You have to go in BT settings and set the watch not to be used for phone audio
no audio when answering an incoming call, while paired with a smartwatch
hi,
I'm experiencing the same thing, but I would use another title for the bug (see above).
The answer in post #2 is helping me to get audio when answering a phone call, BUT I can't use my smartwatch (Gear S3) for making calls or answering calls anymore.
So when I disable the "phone audio" in the smartwatch Bluetooth connection profile, the phone sends the audio to the earpiece, as no audio Bluetooth device is connected --> audio is available when answering the call.
But as I want to use my smartwatch for making and answering calls, I'd like to get a solution for this.
Side note: there is no audio on both ends. I can't hear the other end and the other end can't hear me. And the "no audio" thing is only present for the first 10 seconds of a call. After that the audio starts to work on both ends via phone (when watch is connected as BT audio device).
