Hi,
I got a new car the other day and since then have had issues with my contacts on the stereo system.
When I first add the phone to the BT stereo it asks permission to get my contacts, hit yet and off it goes for a couple of seconds and then says it is done. It isn't finished and has only taken a handful of contacts across.
I have 2 exchange accounts on my phone, both with contacts in them but it doesn't seem to take any of the 2000 contacts. im not sure where it is getting the contacts from as i have none saved on the sim.
Any ideas anyone as its very annoying when i get a call all i can see on the dash or stereo screen is a number so if phone is in pocket i do not know who is calling.
Thanks in advance, hope you can help.

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Touch Pro and am slowly getting to grips with it. I put my current T Mobile sim card into it which has all my contacts on it. If I go through the Windows Mobile menus I can see all my contacts fine. However when the phone rings it doesn't show me what contact is calling. After the call is completed it usually pops up with a message saying "This contact is not on your list" or something like that and I have to go into the contacts list and manually add the contact from there to get it to show me who is calling on the screen the next time.
Why is this if the contacts list is already in the phone and showing up when I look at it?. Is there a way to have all my contacts added in so that every one of them shows up when someone calls or do I have to do them all manually one at a time?. Because that would take ages as I have a lot of contacts!!!.
Many thanks for any advice you guys can give.
hello, copy your contacts from your simms to the phone memory., see if that works, im guessing when you enter the phone # after the call the # is being put into the phone memory and thats why you can see it the next time. hope this helps.

Thanks, will try that out and report back with my findings.
Does anyone know if there is every going to be a bluetooth fix? I had to enable some registry hacks to get the phone to pair with my GARMIN NUVI 760 and it doesnt access the phone book correctly and doesnt show any of the missed calls etc log.. the phone book seems to get some contacts doubled if I change something in one of the contacts... It also doesnt handle contacts that only have company names and not first and last names (those names show up as a number but I can still type the company name in the search on the garmin). Any ideas?
-- Thanks!
Ok, so Tmobile finally got my digits working and it's awesome to be able to leave the house without my phone. Now with spotify, I don't have to take my phone to the gym anymore. I just hook my BT ear buds and I have everything I need. I can even use it like a phone with a BT headset and when I call people see as if I'm calling from my phone.
Now with that being said, I have only had one issue so far but it's not a digits or tmobile problem. The way I figure I'll just live with it. The nature of having your watch share the same phone number means you get duplicate notifications. For example, if I'm connected to the phone through Bluetooth or I have call forwarding set to get my notifications from my phone and somebody sends me a text, I get the notification from the phone and I clear it. Now when I disconnect from the phone. My text messages and missed calls show up as notifications from the watch.
It makes sense. If the watch is sharing the same phone number, the phone will forward the message to the watch but the watch is also receiving the message to. I know there is an option to block but I want to be able to get my texts and missed calls if I turn off my phone and am using the watch in stand alone mode.
I figured a fix though for those who use the forwarding function and will always have stuff forwarded from the phone is to block the watch notifications. My solution it to just go to the text messaging app and clear them manually, ignore them or just delete the message conversation.
Just something to make people aware of when using Digits if you haven't signed up for it already. I personally like it so far and will probably pay for the service if it's reasonable.
I had a heck of a time getting tmobile to set it up right but when they finally got it working I like it now.
I'm having the same issue...wonder if there's a way to stop the dual notifications?
Just for my S3 frontier and having the same issue. Any fixes?
Hi guys
Just wandering if anyone can throw some light on the reason my gear s3 refuses to voice dial, it understands my request no issues and displays the command on the screen
" Call dave" for example, the s3 hears it, displays it correctly
there is one contact with dave who has 1 number assigned
the s3 thinks for a second or 2 then displays " i did not get that" or " who do you want to call" it simply refuses to read contacts
stupid thing, it just displayed everything it needed but it just refuses to work, initially i thought contacts would be transferred to the watch, now i realise its a server thing but this has been like this now for a week since i got it so i cant see it being a server down issue
The phone i am using is a S7 edge with latest update and it is not running anything other than standard firmware and a square home from end, which is the w10 look
i tried resetting the watch but no joy, i tried changing the watch language to US no joy, checked the phone is syncing contacts to samsungs storage
and doing a search on the net actually brings up very little info on this issue
has anyone got any thoughts, here in the Uk having a device that voice dials whilst driving is a real must, i have BT in the car but dialing it is a pain so the watch would be a real help... if it would freakin work
TBH i wish i could use Cortana for voice assist, but that aint gona happen
The more i try different voice commands the more the issue points to lack of sync with contacts... what am i missing ?? just tried to send a text via voice and the s3 watch cant find any contacts
Hmm i had an almost whilst messing with the thing just now, i changed language from English auto to just English... now when i ask it to call a name the watch displays ( Contacts syncing ) that is as far as i have got, it still refuses to dial anyone, and checking my contacts in the watch they are all there
i have a similar issue, when I say call XXX, its then says "syncing contacts" and sites there, If manually go into contacts and call someone its fine, why it decides it needs to sync contacts at this point I dont know, why, must be a bug.
Hi all, Newbie here so apologies if this is in wrong section. Just picked up a gt08 smartwatch and getting all notifications (got BT notifier) now but I can't seem to sync contacts or call history with it. When I go into contacts and hit connect (Bluetooth) it comes back with connection failed and with call logs it just goes back to the connect screen. Driving me nuts now and I screen call (I get a lot of work calls at night, need to know who's calling and don't take them). I'm using a Sony Xperia X phone.
Any help would be so great fully received.
Thanks
Susie.
