If I double click the Home button to bring up S-Voice, then say "call name", it usually recognizes who I want to call. However it always displays 2 phone numbers for the contact and asks which contact I want to call. But the 2 phone numbers are the same!
Somehow the watch is creating 2 contacts per person in my contact list. I have verified that the Contacts on my phone are not duplicated in the address book. Any ideas? I don't see a setting for contacts on the watch or Gear app...
FYI I use the watch in standalone most of the time, so when I call people, it is calling from the watch, not from my phone.

Is there a way to choose a contact that whenever they call it is forwarded to my google voice number.
IE: this company somehow got a hold of my cell phone number(unfortunately not my GV number) and calls me about 3-4 times a week. They don't leave a message or anything. So i am looking for a way to be able to forward this contact to my GV number with the "this number has been disconnected" message.
any ideas?
Thanks.
this is how I've done it:
Set GV as your voicemail, then add the contact with the "send to voicemail" option on your phone (view contact, menu > options and check the send to voicemail box) and of course mark the number as spam on GV. works for me just fine.
otherwise, get a blacklist application. don't always work but they are nice in most cases.
Its hard to explain but everytime I receive a text message thru GV from the same contact, the program makes multiple entries....even though its the same contact (ex. carolina). So my question is how do i make the text keeping going to the same contact without making 2 diff entries for the contact?
GV will automatically start a new "thread" after a certain amount of time. No idea how long that is.
I see...kinda of strange.
What is up the the list of contacts when using the phone or messaging? I can manage under Contacts|settings|view exactly what contacts I want to see; however, when using the phone or messaging, the Sensation presents EVERY contact without a way to adjust. In my situation I use Exchange Activesync to gather my work emails, and despite unchecking sync contacts, they all show up in my phone list.......who the heck wants to sort through a thousand contacts to make a phone call. Thoughts or ideas?
I have some similar problem. I sync with both Exchange Activesync and Google/Gmail and some of my contacts have an entry in both. In my lists of contacts they're perfectly coupled and reduced to one entry, but in the messaging app the contacts show up double again.
I already had contact with HTC Benelux, but their first 'solution' was to remove one of the entries manually. But that's no option for me. I replied to them, but they have not reacted yet.
Strange thing is with the mail app everything is ok.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To get rid of this in messaging, there are 3 options you need to turn off.
Go to messaging.... settings... general... and turn off "Show sent message history", "Show call history" and "show email address". Or a combination of the three if you'd like.
In contacts, you should check the option in settings that says "Only with phone number". As long as your email contacts don't have phone numbers, they won't show up in the contacts list.
I hope I'm understanding your issues and that this information helps.
Hi all,
On incoming calls, gear shows only caller phone number, and no name or picture. Any way to fix that?
Thank you
Caller ID Gear 2
I'm having same issue here, only phone numbers and couldn't sort it out!
Any news?
Thank you
same problem...
Just wanted to share that I do have the same problem...
What I have tried so far:
Full reset of watch,
Complete uninstall and reinstall of gear manager,
Google contacts only (on my phone),
Device contacts only (on my phone),
Manually re-added all contact pictures.
Nothing helped except full reset of watch and gear manager.
It worked for 10 minutes and then stopped working!!
Please someone help !
☺
No one can help?
I'm surprised we are only a few who encounter this problem...
Solved!!
At last... It's now been working for a couple days so I think I finally got it fixed...
What I did (not sure which step did the job but here is all I did to make it work):
- un-sync Google contacts, or any other sync of your contacts,
- only use "device" contacts,
- go into your contacts settings, edit, and make sure "default caller ID" has a picture associated with it,
- in Gear manager, select "favorites" only, not all your contacts.
That last step sure was necessary. Now my favorite contacts (only ones for whom I have pics anyway) show caller ID on my watch for incoming and outgoing calls.
Hope I helped someone!
Hi all
I installed the google dialer (2.5.11) on my galaxy S7 (stock 8.0.0).
While I can access my contacts and it shows me my favorites it does not show me contact information in the history tab and on top of that the contact info does not show up when I call someone.
Even worse, it does not show the info when a contact calls me...
Does anybody have an idea why this might be?
I checked every thing that pops into my mind.
I reinstalled the dialer and gave the permissions to read the contacts yet again
The funniest thing is: By chance I put in the phone number by hand for a contact and it showed the info in the call. But only for that contact up until now. But when I call that very same contact from my contacts app it doesn't show the info again.
I simply don't get it... It just doesn't make any sense to me. 1/5232135 times it seems to work barely and otherwise not.
It seems like it can access the info somehow in the contact tab of the dialer app (the way with entering the number by hand) but can't access the contacts of the contacts app (when calling from the contacts app or receiving calls)
Any thoughts?
Much appreciated
