See Caller ID if not a contact

[recDNA]

On my wear os watch I see caller id of my contacts BUT for noncontacts I get no caller id. On my phone I do get caller id even noncontacts as long as not a private number. Is there any way to see caller id of noncontacts on my watch? It is especially important when a business is calling.

No info?

I'll try to pay attention to this on my Falster 2 and Vapor X. Which watch do you have?

 

[recDNA]

Gen 5 Fossil Wear OS.

See if this helps: https://help.misfit.com/hc/en-us/ar...may be located under,” and “Contacts Sharing”.

Also, are the numbers showing up as Private Caller on the watch, or just the phone number without business name?

 

[recDNA]

Phone numbers without contact names nor business names.

Ok, did that link do anything for you, or still same problem?

 

[recDNA]

Thanks for checking back. No it was no help. I checked and all permissions are granted to Wear OS.

Some others are about not getting calls on watch but I get them fine and can answer and speak to people from watch.

I do notice under bluetooth connections my car lists contacts but my watch does not but no option there to add contacts permissions

Also under bluetooth my watch is show as an earpiece although it is in Wear OS and shows as a watch there. My Asus watch shows as a watch.

Already tried forgetting the watch and re-pairing it? Or a little more drastic, resetting the watch? It generally doesn't take too long to set a Wear OS watch back up.

Carlyle is really REALLY hard to get to connect
It is infamous for it. Resetting would require uninstalling all apps first and resetting my Asus watch. For some reason Carlyle must be added first THEN Asus so both watches would need to be reset. All the watch apps work and are set as I like them.

Tried bluetooth forget and add back but even when forgot before being reconnected it is shown on a list to connect and still has earpiece icon rather than phone icon. Frustrating.

Weird -- the two main watches I'm switching between are a Skagen Falster 2 and a Misfit Vapor X, which are both essentially Fossil watches, and they both show up in my Pixel 3 XL's Bluetooth settings with a Contact Sharing toggle. I wonder -- could the problem be due to the ASUS watch? Maybe try removing the ASUS watch and seeing if that makes a difference when using the Carlyle exclusively?

In process of setting up Carlyle again. It connected as a watch. Hope it stays that way. will check caller id

I like having both watches more than having caller id.

Yay! Caller ID works again at least from my contacts. I don't know if businesses or people not contacts will show up as they do on phone?

Glad it's working! I was suggesting this as more of a troubleshooting step, in case the Zenwatch does some funky things with the connection.
