I have. OnePlus 7T and I also checked I do not have the "answer calls" under the gestures section in advanced features turned on in the watch settings, but my phone will ring once or twice and then just accept the call on the phone itself. When I turn Bluetooth off and the watch is disconnected, this does not happen and the phone app lets me either accept or decline the call. This is very frustrating because there are some calls that I do not want to take but have no choice when my watch is connected.
Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your frustration with your phone automatically answering when connected to your Galaxy watch 5, and I would be happy to look into this further for you. Have you verified you don't have smart answer for Bluetooth turned on in the setting for your phone. Give these steps a try:
1. Turn on Smart Answer For Bluetooth in Earphone mode under Sound & Vibration settings. 2. Connect the phone to a Bluetooth device which supports to take calls. 3. Receive a call while the Bluetooth device is connected.
4. If the setting is turned on, try turning it off and try again to see if the phone auto-answers
I recently purchased the Galaxy Watch 5 and I like everything about it except it frustratingly continues to answer my personal and work calls (softphone app) automatically. I have no idea how to turn this off, and it is very annoying! Please help.
