All of a sudden, while my bluetooth headphones work fine with videos, music, etc, they suddenly stop working when I make a phone call, even though they've worked fine while making a call in the past, for the life of me I can't think of what the problem is, I just re-paired the headphones to the phone and still the same thing. Any thoughts?

go into BT settings (gear icon) on phone for those BT headphones and make sure phone function is checked in addition to media.
 
It is, and it still doesn't work. I'll start the call, click the headset button, says its scanning, and nada. Again, it works just fine when watching videos, listening to music, etc, just all of a sudden, no dice on phone calls in the last few weeks.
 
Still got the same problem, with my headphones, or if I'm using my Gear S, for some reason, even when phone function is checked in BT settings, the damn thing just doesn't want to make a connection when I'm using headphones, or Gear S, for a phone call. Someone said this is a Verizon/Kitkat problem, anyone know?
