After I numbersync, the phone unsyncs itself.

Hello Community,

Although this is an older thread, we wanted to ensure that you had the most up to date support information in case you have landed here.

Let's make sure both your devices are up-to-date with the latest software version. There are different steps for both iPhone and Android, so confirm that you've set up Numbersync correctly. You may need to remove Numbersync and set it back up if your software was out of date.

Now, attempt some basic troubleshooting by power cycling and rebooting your devices (phone and watch). These tips tend to result in a quick fix.

We also recommend resetting your network settings to refresh your connection if powering the devices off and on does not work.  Please note, Bluetooth pairing and Wi-Fi settings are deleted and will need to be re-added after the reset. You will not lose data like pictures, videos, or text though.

• iPhone: Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings
• Android: Settings>General Management>Reset>Reset network settings

We also advise to visit the AT&T Wireless Support tool and select Fix my Wireless. From there you will select your device type then navigate back to Fix my Wireless and click Device>Numbersync. Then follow the prompts and answer the questions asked based on your experience to find a personalized solution.

You can find more helpful solutions for Numbersync here in the Forums.

If you require further assistance, please come back and let us know so we can assist further.  You can do so by asking a new question, as this thread is quite old.

Thank you for connecting with the AT&T Community!

So I’m back to post 7 and the unanswered but extremely critical question...

You did set up a different user account for your phone line? Im wondering if it’s a problem with your user name and password.  Your wife had to have her own user and password to set up number sync.  

I had to change my password (as primary user) when the first set up failed to set up number sync.

The only other assumption I can make is one device is defective.  

I was really hoping the watch expert would check in @GLIMMERMAN76 help!

Yes you need a Myatt account for each line that has numbersync.

Not enough information 

what phone?  Make model and is it ATT branded?

what watch?  Make model and is it active on the same account? 

Are you in an area with ATT HD voice?  

Number sync requires the phone be ON, for watch to work, but not in the same location.  

Sorry.

Phone: Samsung note8

Watch: Samsung gear s3 frontier

Both under the same account

You mention cell has to be on and not necessarily in the same area, one.of my issues is five to 10 feet away and it gets disconnected.  Also, if Bluetooth is turned off, numbersync is disabled.

Thanks for the reply

And it’s an ATT phone?   Have you used number sync on another device?

@GLIMMERMAN76 any ideas

Yes it's an at&t phone.  I've also setup one for my wife with no issues.  Her watch/wearable is remotely connected to her phone instead of the Bluetooth.

But you give me an idea.  Gonna try it on my daughter's cell and see if it works.

Thanks

 So I've added a screen shot of the messages I receive.  Now these are generated without me doing anything, i.e. turning on or off the numbersync feature

🧐.  That’s not right....

You did set up a different user account for your phone line?   Im wondering if it’s a problem with your user name and password.  

I am going to try it on another line to see how that goes.  And will be back with the results.  I appreciate the input and guidance.
