Need to disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth during call to move it to S3 Frontier (no LTE)

[CFar]

Strange phenomenon, I made a call a few days ago with the S3 (non LTE) and it worked fine. The last couple of days, if I dial out from the watch or receive from the watch, the calls still go to my phone (S7 Edge, Sprint).

If I want to continue the call on my watch, I first have to go to my phone's call screen, hit the Bluetooth button to "transfer" the call to the phone (even though its already there), then tap the BT button again to transfer it back to my watch.

Any ideas?

Seems like a strange question. But do you have Amazon Alexa app installed. I've recently discovered, it messes with Bluetooth audio connections.

I do. I rebooted and it works for now, however the text voice speech is broken now.

Try uninstalling Alexa and see if it keeps happening.

No joy. I switched to English UK which works if I enunciate everything perfectly. Strange too, S voice works fine

Well, I'll have mine on Wednesday if so I'll report back and see if I have the same issue.

That is bizarre. What does it do?

Makes my Bluetooth connections drop. Go silent, or not play on the Bluetooth device, but the phone...Even tho it says it's connected. My pixel XL was working out totally perfectly until I installed the Amazon Alexa app and it started doing those things. After I uninstalled it it stopped.

I wonder whether that's why my watch connection cycles sometimes (as I don't think it's the watch itself). Thanks for the tip, will play around with it.
