Huawei watch GT2 caller ID not shown when watch associated/paired to health app

[dwardo]

Hello

If I pair my watch GT2 to the phone, using the phone's native bluetooth pairing from bluetooth settings, caller ID is shown on the watch on an incoming call (and watch frequently reminds me to pair to the health app...).

As soon as I pair the watch to the health app callerID ceases to be shown on the watch which says "Unknown number"
Sometimes it will also say "Phone paired with too many devices" although the phone is only currently connected to the watch...


Is anyone else seeing this ? if yes is there a workaround ?
I'm guessing it's a health app bug...

I'm on :

• latest firmware : 1.0.9.58
• latest playstore health app : 10.1.1.312 (I also tried 10.1.2.553 from apkmirror which doesn't do any better) with all the necessary permissions

Although heath app had call log and contacts permissions it was not trying to access them (last access was a few weeks back)...

In the end, having no other leads, I erased all health app data, uninstalled and reinstalled the health app... Set permissions again... And everything seems to be working correctly again... Health app is accessing contacts and call logs now and caller id is shown on the watch.
