Hi guys. I'm using huawei watch (wear 2.0) with my s7E (Nougat). I am using default Samsung messages app on my phone. But when I use my watch (contacts then to try send message), the message "to improve contact recognition. Google needs to use your device contacts". When I click "turn on", nothing happens.
Please help me fix this. Thanks!

I got the same question on my device at sending an SMS and trying to call people.....
So is my watch just defective? Seems only two people have the issue
Using texting with the same combo S7edge Nougat and AW2.0 Huawei watch just fine...I am using Google Messages on the phone. Maybe the Samsung App isn't ready for AW2.0?
I see. I'm using samsung's default messaging app. I tried installing google messages on my watch but it required me to install google messages on my phone as well. Any workaround aside from installing google messaged?
Apparently you can still send messages using google assistant. Why is that possible while you can't do that using contacts?
I also have the same issue. For me it's now useless as a smartwatch. Don't know why it just stopped working all of a sudden. Hopefully there's a fix soon. I think it's a software issue.

So I recently upgraded to CM11 M6 and I've noticed an odd problem. When people message me on hangouts if the app isn't open, I don't get a notification on the phone at all. Then when I open the app I have to scroll through the ENTIRE conversation I've had message by message and it does the animation for each message. This means if I've been talking to somebody for an hour or so I have to scroll for like 5 minutes on my phone to get to the latest message. Anyone have any similar issues or know of a fix? This is only a problem for chat type messages, SMS comes in no problem
What I've tried:
Uninstalling updates from hangouts and google play services then reinstalling hangouts
Removing google account and readding it
EDIT: I think i've found the fix.
remove all phone entries from https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
Removed the google account from my phone.
reboot
readd google account to phone
SUCCESS!
Hi,
I updated to Marshmallow over the air on AT&T and everything works great other than the contacts.
If I try to add a contact using the phone app or the contacts stand alone app (which opens the phone dialer app anyways), then it crashes and I get the "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped" message.
I have rebooted several times and even see if I need to update anything on PlayStore, but I have everything up to date.
Any ideas on how to fix this? this is very limiting and makes the phone unreliable.
Thanks
fixed the problem with a full reset.
I am on the latest nightly but i notice Hangouts crashes every time i go to use it. As soon as i start typing it crashes.
Anyone have a similar issue?
Yep. Everyone does. It sucks.
It seems (That side of it [SMS]), to be working for me.
My problems happen when I want to use it to make calls to the States. In short you can't.
I think your supposed to use Duo for that now, and Allo is the new SMS (Messenger) App. Having that installed, might be why Hangouts seems to be fine here.
But, the writing is on the Wall for Hangouts. Unless you have some for Corporate use Licence (Google for Work), Hangouts is on the way out.
Seem to come across a few few bugs since updating OTA yesterday.
1. Play Store just not opening on the watch. Previously it would say no network. After factory resetting again it says: error while retrieving information from server rh-01
2. Google assistant. Trying to message people in my contacts by saying their name not working very well. The same contacts that worked flawlessly previously don't work anymore. As I say my request, it all gets typed out word for word, just as I said. These match up to the way the contacts are written out, but google assistant repeatedly just asks: To Whom?
3. Watch vibrates but no notification seen till I swipe up. Otherwise I have no idea that there has been a notification.
4. On incoming notifications such as whatsapp, I don't always have a reply button available. Sometimes it decides I can reply, sometimes there's just no option at all.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
Does your google assistant speak? I can't seem to make it speak when talking to it. It does reply only on screen with text.
So, I just today got the new Samsung Galaxy watch. I lost my Gear S3 Frontier so decided it was time for an upgrade to the latest Galaxy Watch.
I had it set up perfect on my frontier watch where I used Google Hangouts as both my phone dialer and text message program since that is what I was using on my cellphone anyway. I never used my actual dialer or texting program native on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone.
My phone has not changed and I retrieved and updated my settings to my new Galaxy Gear phone. But something is amiss...
It was a few years ago but I *THINK* the way I made Google Hangouts messaging program and the Hangouts/Talk dialer work is there was an app by Google either in the Galaxy App store or Google play store and someone passed the messages to my watch.
Now I cant find it or remember the way I made it all work. When I call my Google Voice/Hangouts phone number from another phone I get a quick popup notification on my watch but it does not vibrate nor can I use quick reply or reply at all. I used to be able to do that on my Gear S3 Frontier. Also my watch does vibrate and fully functional on other programs like Facebook messenger.
Anyone know how I can get it to work again like that on my new Galaxy watch? Its a big deal breaker for me since that is my main number Google number!
It won't work because Hangouts is Google App and Samsung run Tizen.
You can reply to messages such as WhatsApp or IG but you can instigate.

Incorrect. I had it working perfectly find on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier watch. You are correct it is Tizen OS on watch but somehow I got it to work perfectly. I think they may have had the hangouts app in the Samsung app store but I dont see it there anymore.
Bottom line there is a way to do it because I have before and it worked perfect with notfication and vibration but I forgot exact how I did it and lost old watch now have the new latest Galaxy Watch.
So I get all other notifications on my new Galaxy watch with both visual popup on watch notifications and vibrations with the exception of the Google hangouts notifications they just show up my watch does not vibrate on those which is the most important thing to me which I am trying to figure out but my phone does vibrate on those alerts.
just wondering if there is an update, would be great to get Google Voice on the Galaxy Watch active 2
