Hello I received my KW18 and it is working but I have a question about answering phone calls when watch is connected via Bluetooth to my phone (Samsung S8). It appears no matter if I answer the call via the phone or the watch the audio always goes to the watch. At times I want to be able to answer the call via the phone and speak/hear via the phone so it is not a speaker phone mode (as KW18 does). Is there a way to control what device answers the phone call?
IE if I can easily reach for my phone I want to answer it on the phone and not be in speaker mode.
Thank You ~ Phil
Bump, anyone experience this that you can only answer a phone call on the watch when its linked via Bluetooth? its highly annoying...
Thanks

Having scoured the forums with repeated searches, I have to admit defeat and turn to the gurus.
I work from home and leave my XDA2 in its cradle and Activesynced via USB. That way, I can keep it synced with MS Outlook, back it up on the fly and send SMS via Jeyo or Pocket Controller. Also, when I go out on appointments, it's always fully charged.
The one problem is, whenever someone calls, I have to disconnect it from the cradle to answer it. I can use the speakerphone, but that doesn't always work too well - sometimes my caller can hear me clearly, other times they complain that I'm too faint or that there's deafening feedback on the line.
I want to answer calls via my BT headset, but it just ain't possible. Even though BT is enabled, whenever I answer the call is routed via the speaker - the headset doesn't activate.
Could anyone confirm whether this is possible, please, and, if so, how to enact it? Thanks in advance...
Hello folks, I'm happy to have found this wonderful forum.
My question is, I have had my MDA for 2-3 weeks now, just received my bluetooth hands free device (Plantronics Discovery 640) my problem is for some odd reason, I can't answer *call waiting* calls with the Discovery 640. For some odd reason I keep sending people to voicemail when I click the button on the hand free, the only way for me to accept a call waiting calls, is buy press the talk button on the phone it self.
Is there something I need to enable in order to make the phone and handsfree work as one, so I can use the button on the handfree to answer the call waiting calls? is so any advice will be greatly appreciated.

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.
And a question need help to solve my problem:
My phone is connected with bluetooth watch GT08 clone, which has built in speakers. I can make and receive calls from my watch. But whenever I receive a call my call audio output is sent to my watch speakers. After picking up the phone I can change it to my phone's earpiece but this is annoying to do everytime I receive a call. Is there a way to force my phone not to transfer incoming call audio to bluetooth?
.... I can disable Phone Audio from my bluetooth profile but then I am not able to make calls or see who is calling me from my watch. Are there a better solution for this issue?
Quite annoying that , no bt notifications app have proper choice to choose answer incomming call on watch or phone? If press answer incomming call on phone , the audio phone call will not going out to watch and viceversa, and if by pressing answer incomming call in watch, the audio call will be in watch...that's much better, right? That is smart watch & smart phone.
EDIT:
Temporary solution is using 'Bluetooth Audio Manager' app to rout phone call audio to phone or whatever Bluetooth device you want...
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).
