Everything else works fine on the watch, but for some reason I can not call out. Every time I try to call out, it ends the call immediately. Anyone else having this problem? Is there something that I need to do to get it to work? It's weird cuz I can receive calls and get text, I can even send out text messages, just can't make calls through the watch.

Reset the Gear and see if that helps. May be a pairing with the Note issue if everything else is working.

There is another reason it might fail, same with any bluetooth device i have used so far with android. If there is no default app for calls ( if you have Skype for example or Google voice and are relying on it prompting you which to use for each call) then it might fail silently too. workaround is to set a default for now. Not ideal though as you loose the option of choosing. (hopefully the gear will get the same choice dialog that the parent phone has)

Did this end up working? I'm having a similar problem. I can make calls from the gear, but once they answer and the screen turns off on the gear I press the power button and it flashes on then off again. The only way to make it work is to immediately tap the top right menu button once the call is answered. Same problem when receiving a call too. Really frustrating when I can't end the call and look like a tool asking the other person to hang up or pulling out my phone to do so lol.

FIXED
Sorry to resurrect only thread yet found the solution. Had the same prob, tried the same things without results.
SOLUTION:
On your phone choose Settings -> Device -> Call -> Call Accessories.
It is called "Outgoing Call conditions", and it allows you to set it up so that you can make calls even if the device is locked.
This worked and hope this helps others who may have the same problem.

Using the Samsung email app but also not getting texts
Reminder, if the phone is on, you will not get a notification to the Gear.
Ian B
Being on different carrier should not matter, I am on Tmobile. Go into the Gear app-settings-notifications, make sure you have that turned on and then hit the word notification to go into submenu and check native email and text apps.
Next, put the phone to sleep, turn it back on, send yourself a text and put phone to sleep right away. Give it about a minute and the text should ring on the phone and in the Gear.
haha you have to turn them on
go to the galaxy gear app on the phone, click settings, click notifications and select messages and mail then hit the thank button for me! haha
Have you checked the notification settings inside the Galaxy Gear Manager program?

When you created the gmail account in native email app, did you do manual set up or auto? You may want to delete the account, recreate it by selecting auto after you enter the email address and password. On the next screen, there is a drop down box, select PUSH. Try this, send yourself an email from PC or something, keep the phone asleep and see if you get the notification on the phone followed by notification on Gear. Make sure under the Gear app settings, notifications for email is checked.
Report back if not working.

I receive the text less than a second after my phone gets it. Literally my pocket buzzes and by the time I look down at my watch it vibrates. Then I can read it and reply back with s voice . Not a single problem. I'm in love with both devices.

I agree, that would make it worthless to me to.
I had problems with text notifications etc at first myself.
It took me a while to realize that for notifications to make it to the watch, I had to be running the stock messaging app (I had been using HandCent for years) & the phone screen had to be off at all times.
I installed the modded version of the stock TW messaging that has a toggle for screen on/off when a message came in. After switching to that (plus using the Samsung email app as opposed to GMAIL), I now get all my gear notifications almost instantly and I love the thing.
I also loaded my custom ringtones to the gear so it will ring a lot louder.

It could I suppose, I have found that absolutely anything that turns the screen on will block the notification from getting through to the watch.
I don't use a lockscreen (I just go straight into the phone from the home screen/power buttons)
I saw a post from someone saying that lock widgets will mess up the gear but I don't know if it's true.
I know mine works perfectly and I'm not updating ANYTHING at this point!!

I had the same issue, however the voice toggle on the phone doesnt save when I close out s voice. It defaults back to the no voice.

For the first time today my phone gave me this prompt when I tried to open my camera while on a bluetooth call. I also tried it with just the speaker phone and regular call and still got this prompt. I can open it with camerazoom fx btw.. I cleared cache and data in the camera app and did a system wipe of dalvik cache and still no luck.

I believe thats by default. Not sure if its a Samsung thing or what. If you're rooted, Wanam has an option to allow that.

That's funny you brought this up. I've noticed on stock Samsung phones sometimes I can't do that either, then on others I can. I know with Wanam Xposed you can enable it though if you want to try that route.

Well today I took my phone to an AT&T service center for for call issues and they gave me a new sim and reflashed MJ5 to my phone. I'm bone stock again and my stock camera opens during phone calls. So I think root broke it somehow, maybe, I will reroot with kingo 1.1.8 to see if there is a relation to this situation with root. Thanks all.
Ok, So I rerooted with 1.1.8 and camera now works with calls. This is crazy. Lol

That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.
I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.
Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.
Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.
