I'm using gw4 classic with redmi k20 pro (miui 12). And my contacts and call history aint syncing with the watch. Well, sometimes they do show up when I restart the watch or the phone. But after a while, they all just disappear. (Added that, I'm using Google's contacts and messages app as default on my phone)
My contacts are in the watch but mine doesn't show who is calling, it just shows the number while the phone displays the contact name
Using Google messages and Google phone on phone
When i wasn´t using Samsung Health, contacts didn´t show on watch, now i´m using SH and phone and contacts are showed on my watch, i don´t know if there is relation. Check apps permissions on watch as well

I've been using SH from the start and still getting the issue. There's probably something else working behind this inconsistency

i turned off syncro on the googlevoice app on my captivate, i tried starting the app rebooting my phone but it still syncs, the only notification i set is through text, but on my phone i get notified for missed calls, voicemail and texts through the app, how the heck do i turn it off.
now if i turn off background sync under account management then it stop, but that stops everything else like market.
somebody must have a solution to this, the reason im so anal about this is because i only have 200mb on my plan

Does no body have the same problem as me?

I'm going to take a good guess here and say no one has answered you because no one understands what you are asking for.
You ask how to turn of synchronization in Google Voice, but you want the app to send you text message notifications? You need to go log into your Google Voice account on a PC and set the text messages notifications there and log out of Google Voice if you want it to stop the app from synchronizing.
If what you want to do is turn off notifications, then go into the settings and turn them off, but remember, you can not turn off missed calls notifications within Google Voice. Those have nothing to do with Google Voice. If the voice mail notifications are coming from your regular carrier, those too have nothing to do with Google Voice.
The easiest way I see of getting it to work like you want to is to set text message notifications from your home computer and just sign out of your Google Voice app and that will stop it from synchronizing until the next time you log in with the app.
So i have to sign out to make it stop synchronizing? Then what does the synchronize setting in the google voice app do. Does it have no function? Whether on or off it syncronizes everytime i get a text.
Essentially it syncs in the background when i don't want it to. Before i could be logged in and it wouldn't sync untill i refreshed the app

no one has told me why its still syncing when i have syncing turned off
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.
Hi everyone
I need help.
My phone is xiaomi redmi note 4x.
Is it possible to get, read and answer emails and other notifications from the watch?
And if one person sends me a lot of messages will it be able to see and read all of them (not only his name and number of that messages)?
Thanks!

I don't know if you can answer emails on the watch. I canNOT on mine but maybe I have not found a setting that allows it. But I can view emails although I believe that only the beginning of the email will show up but I do see some of the text. I see the name and some of the text. I can trigger a reply but it opens the appropriate app on my phone, not the watch. And you can see more than one. When I wake up and I look at the watch, I will see my gmail1 account with a message and a number under it, say 4. If I tap that "4" I can than scroll through the four emails. If there's email in my yahoo account, I can scroll over to it and again, there will be a number if there's more than one.

Thank you! Can you answer only by your phone, right?

Yes. But I'm fairly new to the Gear S3. So I'm not sure of everything it can do. I do know that typing on it can be a bit hard on the small screen and with the "phone dialpad" keyboard. So replying to an email might be awkward. I have not tried any of the alternative keyboards.
Hopefully, someone else will have a more complete answer. Also, mine is a Bluetooth unit so it might be more limited that the standalone LTE versions.
I use a Frontier LTE that is remote connected (not BT) to a Samsung phone. I don't know how my experience differs from the BT only model.
There is a native Tizen email app on the watch. I can read and reply to emails without referring to the phone. Nevertheless, it's not practical to read complex emails on a 1" screen.
There is also a native messaging app. It keeps a threaded history of messages. This is applicable for messages sent to the watch's number. Notifications from the phone only show the last message received. Again, this can be replied to without the phone.

Not a native "Tizen" email app but a native "Samsung" email app it works only with the Samsung mail app on a Samsung phone. If you pair wit a no Samsung phone you have not this email app on the watch
Anyone got any tips on getting message notifications on the GW4? I am using it with a Pixel 4a5g. I currently have loaded the updated Google messages app on phone and watch. I have enabled notifications everywhere I can find for the app. I can open the watch app and read all my messages, but I can't get any watch notifications. On my GWA2, using Next, I was able to get the notifications and the message would pop up on my watch and let me read it. On the GW4 I have to open the app to read it. I am also open to any other messaging apps that others have found that work.
Update, I did get Next SMS to work, but I wonder if anyone has had any luck with VZW messages or Google messages?
You have to make Google Messages to the default text message app on phone to get notifications from it, and you can only use Google Messages for writing SMS after that.
The first thing I did was make Google Messages the default SMS... as a matter of fact, you can't even bring it up on the phone unless you do that. I know Google is just starting to roll out a new version of messages for using with watches, I don't know how to tell if I have that version or what that version number is, so I guess I will use Next for awhile longer and see.
This feels like a Gear app permissions issue. Check that the gear app on your Phone has permissions to read messages. Also it might be under device admin setting or something like that
I assume you mean the Galaxy Wear app, it does have SMS permissions enabled (actually all permissions enabled).
Note, as I said above, it works like a champ with Next SMS, so I think everything is enabled that needs to be. The difference would have to be with the messaging app itself.
You can also check settings on the watch itself. Settings/Applications/Permissions then scroll to Messages and allow everything one by one.
Hi, I'm using the Chinese ROM version 12S Ultra and whenever I get a normal phone call and the contact is saved in my contacts there is no name showing. Yet, when the call is done and i check the call logs, the name shows there.

Try long press on the icon contact/information/verify that the necessary permissions are granted.
In the app settings, check that: display photos and info and assign photos are activated.
Hide incomplete numbers disable.
If it still doesn't work, delete the contact app data.
