Im completely new to Android having just ditched my company-supplied iPhone and bought an A50 (love it by the way!)
Are there any watches compatible with this phone that I can get notifications etc? I am not sure what specifications I need to check that the A50 has. The Samsung web site doesnt list the A50 as being compatible with Galaxy watch so should I just be looking at bluetooth compatibility.
Thanks for any pointers.
Yes you can use galaxy smartwatch with A50
I am using Galaxy Watch with A50. TOTAL DISASTER ! Watch and phone are disconnecting/ connecting frequently. Had no problems with same GW and Lenovo P2.
Samsung support completely useless as usual.
I have a Gear Fit2 Pro that I used with limitations paired to an iPhone but the full feature set works flawlessly with the A50 including quick replies, clearing notifications, complete message content and caller ID on every call.
It doesn't ever disconnect in the same room but I found the range pretty limited compared to the iPhone, so I assume Bluetooth range is more of an A50 issue.
After last firmware update for Galaxy A50 and firmware update for Galaxy Watch - both work perfectly in pair.

Hi all,
I have bought a Nexdock Touch a very interesting lapdock with Touchscreen and currently i am using Xiaomi Mi Mix3, unfortunately Xiaomi usually doesn't support HDMI over USB-C or MHL.
However i saw some reports over possible change with desktop mode in Android 11, there were so betá firmware fot that. Does anyone got a pre production model of the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro to test if this can be a DEX alternative?
I don't wanna turn to Samsung and don't want the hassle to get google on the Huawei's.
Many thanks for your help in this.
HDMI over USB-C doesn't work of the Mi10T Pro running Android 10, MIUI 12. Tested on the unit a few time and several display but no luck
I also bought the it and try it... Guess external monitors isn't support it yet..not sure if this is a hardware limitation or a firmware.
Hi, I just wondering how to flash GT2 PRO firmware to my GT2. Hardware should be the same... Any ideas?
I also would like the skiing activity
Any new in this topic? There are few future for GT2 Pro but no for GT 2 ....
Bump
I'm very interested as well, it should indeed be possible since hardware seems the same.

Exactly!!!
We need some clever guy to find out how to jam the PRO firmware into it...
Until you have two pins in watch, not four, and you cant use USB connection to PC, and BT is locked to huawei health... Forget about that... Even if somebody will read firmware from watch memory, there will be no app tool ever to upload it into other watch...
May be posibble, but with standard tools, not via forum/internet... And with need to disassemple watch to get access to motherboard.
It looks like "the easiest" solution is extracting the firmware from health app and forcing the app to upload modified firmware... I am not definitely able to do that :-(
NFC upload? Maybe
I think that some effort definitely needs to be put on that watch... It has good hardware so why not have good software as well? Huawei adds one tiny feature every 2 months only to ensure new units will still be sold. I think when Huawei stops updating the watch we will all be on our own. I am definitely looking forward to seeing one with the skill required make a custom FW for it...
this would be great... you know, we can add .hwt faces via modded Huawei health app. So, there must be a way to cheat the updates of pro version. We just need effort of smart coder
Anything is possible!!!

Maybe Huawei will help us with GT2 PRO firmware... I am curious about the big update to HarmonyOS...
Wow that's still very nice news! At least we will have a working app store... for the first time!
However what if Huawei decides to ditch support shortly after that? Let's say after it manages to make a stable version?
The hardware of the gt 2 vs pro are the same? so should be possible to load pro firmware onto the gt 2?

This would be epic! but i don't have my hopes up. GT2's lack of RAM is not a good catalyst.

Actually they have the same SoC. I know nothing about RAM but it should be identical as well... We should have the ability to load our own firmware on the watch regardless...
GT2 a GT2 pro have the same hardware and the same amount of RAM

I guess that is not the issue.
The issue is that Huawei Watch3 Pro has 2Gb of RAM and runs Harmony OS, while GT2/GT2 Pro has 32Mb RAM and runs Lite OS....
I guess what everyone is questioning, including me, is that if Harmony OS can run on 32Mb, why would they launch the Watch3 with 2Gb?

WOW! What a piece of information right here! My guess is that if they were to upgrade the GT2/GT2 Pro to Harmony OS AT ALL (cause it might just be advertising to sell the remaining units), it would be a very very stripped down version and/or sluggish. My opinion.
Now the only thing that could rescue us is again custom development. A port of Harmony OS with an increased page file would be a great place to start from...
if can, honor magic 2 owner would be happy ..... our firmware not update after honor split with huawei.
sad for us.
Hi guys,
I bought last week a Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro. I wonder if it is possible to install WearOS on it and if someone has already done that.
I would like to install some third-party apps and pay with the watch.
Many thanks,

even if someone makes a port ,gt3 pro hardware is too weak to run wear os unlike watch 3/3 pro which has a powerful soc and ram.
