Hi there,

 

I have been using the Gear S3 for a little more than a year and it is an awesome wearable.

 

The only oddity is this:

I have used  the Gear S3 with 3 different phones and the behaviour is consistent; pairs OK, syncs OK, alerts OK, with one of the latests SW upgrades reconnects via BT with no problem, but if, per example, I want to have the calls answered in the car's stereo -Ok I guess- need to disable the "Phone Calls" in the "use for" option at the BT settings on the phone. The S3 keeps getting synced and showing the alerts but if happens that for any reason the BT connection between the phone and the GS3 gets lost, there is needed to reactivate the "Phone Calls" option in order to get synced again. I have tried also with the "LE" connection option, and this is copletely useless. 

 

Is there a way to avoid to have to mess with the settings everytime I need the sync back to work?

 

Thanks!
