Unread Text Messages showing up on watch....but already read on phone - Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

Hey all,
I have the LTE version of the watch 3. I have both bluetooth, WiFi & mobile all turn 'on'. When I walk away from my Samsung phone far enough, it disconnects bluetooth and then connects to mobile network.
This is great and all...but then all my past text messages from a conversation that i have already read (on my phone) from friends start popping up on my watch as if the messages were new.
Each message that gets updated causes the watch to 'beep'. So literally the phone is beeping like crazy. One episode i had, it beeped around 50 times as it was updating the watch with "new" messages.
I looked everywhere on help menu, online, etc...to see if there was an option to stop this...but came up empty handed.
Does anyone know how to make this stop?
I DO NOT want to disable bluetooth or mobile connection on my watch as a "work around". That kinda defeats the purpose of why I bought this LTE watch.
Please help!!!
Thanks

[Q] Hands-free mode not reading out texts right??

Hey all. So just picked up an ibolt dock for my note 3. Great little dock. Anyways Im finally joining modern times by having sound in my car from my phone... anyways Im experimenting with the HandsFree mode but when I get a text it tells me the name of the sender but not the body of the text. It then shows a msg "i can't start voice recognition while you're talking on the phone".
I tried this with my phone normal and just turned Hands Free mode on and still the same. After it says the senders name it says something about how I can reply or cancel however me speaking doesnt seem to do anything
What am I missing?
Thanks!

MightyText app questions, how is this working?

Maybe more of a hardware question than an app question, but it happens with this particular app. I needed a texting app for my stock K1 running LP 5.1.1
I decided upon MightyText as I didn't want another phone number as some of the other apps provide. MightyText syncs my phone and the K1 within seconds. If I get a text to the phone, I get a notification on the tab within a second or two. Same happens if I send a text from the tablet, I get a notification on the phone again within a second or two. I realize that the phone is using it's cellular radio to send the text. Phone is a rooted LG Optimus G Pro running KK.
Here's where it gets strange! If I turn off WiFi and BT on the phone, when I write a text on the tablet and hit send, my phone receives and sends the text. WiFi and BT are still off. I looked to see if the app was somehow turning the radios on, on the phone, but it looks like they are staying off (unless they are coming on for a fraction of a second). I'm trying to figure out how the tablet is communicating with the phone if the radios are turned off. Also, the app has a phone icon. if I hit the phone icon on the tablet app, the phone makes a call to whoever I happened to be texting. I cannot talk through the tablet (I don't think), but the call does go through. I'm unsure what the functionality of this item is...why would I want the tablet to initiate a phone call when I cannot talk through the tablet?
Phone radio you mean phone, internet (3G/4G) here?
Mighty text working through network/internet. I will take simple explanation like this. SMS -> your phone -> SMS send to mighty text service -> mighty text service passes it to your table. Similar your tablet sends the text -> text go to mighty text service -> Mightytext service passes it to your device AND to the receiver on your behalf.
MightyText function like a bridge to connect your phone and other device and running through the internet.
Once your device connects with MightyText service, MightyText will become a behalf assistant to receiving and send your message.
Thats mean your sensitive information will be readable by a 3rd person (or group person who know?)

Cannot use Google Unless connected to Wifi or phone connected to Wifi

Let me start by saying that this started around the 3rd of the month. I've looked everywhere and every possible solution I have found does not work.
I have the ATT version of the LG Watch Sport and I am using it on T-Mobile with a Digits SIM. However, I mostly just use it through bluetooth on my phone and not directly on 4g.
I have NEVER had a problem before where my phone is connected to 4G and connected to my watch through bluetooth, with using Google Assistant to text someone or make a call. Recently however, trying to get Google Assistant to register or even work unless my phone or watch is connected to internet is impossible.
I have reset the watch and started over. I have tried resetting phone and watch. I have tried updating all apps and I have tried rolling back some apps., but I have not found a solution. I get notifications from texts and email but cannot respond via watch or use google to send texts, etc.
Is anyone else having this problem or found a solution for this?

Verizon note 8 on AT&T Calling error!

Hey everyone,
I have a bit of a weird issue here. I have a note 8 from Verizon which everyone knows comes unlocked. I am using it on AT&T and everything works well except for one thing. For some reason when I receive phone calls from people, it shows on the screen with a + sign in front of the phone number. So if someone calls me that is in my contact book, it will not show their name since there is no + sign in my contact book. So also now in my call history if I try to call that number back it sounds like it is trying to make an international call. I have no idea what is happening. Data, texts and calls work but instead of getting a call from 9999999999 I get +9999999999.
Please help me out here, I love the phone!!

I've read about this issue before. Googling 'incoming calls show +' gives you some leads.
In short it seems to be related to Dialling Assistance settings (note spell error, is as in settings...). I couldn't find those via the regular settings (used to be accessible via settings in Phone app), but I could via the app 'Shortcut Master (Light)' ...
Search for 'dialing' and then launch:
'com.android.phone.operator.usa.AssistedDialingActivity'. My settings (N950U1) are as per SS...
Try playing with these settings.

Connection and voice mail issues

Hi everyone. I am having issues since day one with my Samsung S10. I am a T-mobile user if that matters. My first problem, I currently have a desktop with Windows 10 Pro and the latest build. However, since I got the phone, whenever I connect the phone to the computer via USB, it does not stay connected for more than a min. It will keep on disconnecting and automatically connecting. Many instances it will do it over and over, dozens of times until it finally connects but it wont last for more than 2 mins and start all over. A very frustrating issue because it makes file transfer nearly impossible.
I have so far unistalled all drivers, used 4 different cables to include original and problem still persists.
My second issue is with voice messages. Whenever I received a voice message, instead of going to my visual voice message app, it will show with the green phone icon in my notification, forcing me to call my voice mail. Rarely do new voice messages go to my visual voice mail app, they do, but rare. My wife also has a S10 and she has the same problem with the voice mail.
hopefully someone has some help to provide me.
Thanks in advance.

I will start from the second issue (the voicemail). I see that too and I am with T-Mobile as well. I do have VVM app installed, but see the normal voice mail icon in the notification bar as well as VVM icon. I don't really like double notification, but I am thinking it is possible to disable the phone app's notification for only the voice mail. Haven't tried it though...
As far as phone getting disconnected...I have seen this, but not with my S10e. I have another android device and it did happen to it, couple of times. When device was off, that is when I mainly seen disconnect/reconnect thing.
1) Do you have Samsung Switch app installed on your Win 10 PC? If you do, then try uninstalling it. If you don't have it, install it. Could be driver conflict too
2) Try different USB ports on your PC
3) See if you have USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports(try them all)
4) When you connect your phone to the PC, pull down notification shade on your phone and see if you can choose different USB options, that might help too
