Hi,
I recently purchased Honor View 20 to replace my previous Nexus 6P. I set up the galaxy wearables app, galaxy watch plugin and Samsung accessory service. I got the phone connected fine, but it seems to not be sharing the network connection over Bluetooth as it did before.
When I try to open the "Galaxy Apps" app it shows a network error.
In addition, I seem to not be able to switch music that is playing on my phone anymore (Spotify).
I found that Nexus 6P was listed under compatible devices on Samsung's website and Honor View 20 is not (cannot post a link due to forum guidelines). Does that mean that those phones have some specific fixes in the plugin or that they are just tested to work?
Anyway, looking for some insight into this issue, thanks!
My app versions:
Galaxy Wearable 2.2.23.19021251
Galaxy Watch Plugin 2.2.05.19011541N
Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.92.81115

Has anyone managed to get a Fitbit working on a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014? Wife brought herself the new note plus a Fitbit One but it doesn't show in devices and there's no way to sync it. Strangely the Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as a compatable device on the Fitbit website but guess that must be the 2012 model as this thing just won't connect as it doesn't appear in the devices bluetooth menu. I can't understand it though, as it has Android 4.3 and Bluetooth 4.0 so it should work, but no joy. I've tried emailing Fitbit support but they don't seem to be understanding the problem, and just insisting to restart the Fitbit. My Xperia Z however picks it up no bother.

I have it working with Note 8, didn't try with 10.1. It doesn't show under bluetooth options, you don't pair like other devices. Install their app, follow instructions within it to connect.
Update:
I got it working by using the all devices app mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492436
By the looks of it they are configuring the device setup menu to appear on a per model basis, as the new device menu would not appear on the official store app. However the performance is pretty poor and the tablet seemed to suffer some slow down shortly after, so ended up uninstalling it again! My conclusion is Android is great in some respects and I love using it, but third party accessory support can be patchy when compared to Apple.
i had an issue with nfc. I had tried NFC with galaxy s4 and galaxy note 2. these devices receiving contents through nfc from lg g pro. but when i tried to recieve content from another devices it's always showing the popup (complete action using). and showing only play store option.
same issue with wifi direct. can't send/recieve files via wifi direct as we do easily in other (samsung) phones.
Please share solution if anyone have.
Thanks
I had the same problem when I switched from Samsung to LG, but the application Super Beam solved everything. More than anything is that you share files with any Android phones that don't have Wi-Fi Direct. In my opinion the best app for Wi-Fi Direct sharing!
Sorry, double post......

i have the same issue i think there should be a way. Also you do know Gear needs to be rested it’s only 1 profile at a time ? Also make sure you got all these APK'S installed as I’ve mange to connect to my TAB S4 But I’m still having problems it’s not fully connecting, i think i need to update the APK'S
You need 3 apps. Samsung Gear Apk, Gear S Plugin Apk, and Samsung Accessory Service Apk let me know if you have any success..
(Check your phone to complete setup) That’s where I’m stuck!
I've tried installing all the apk but with no results, i've decided to return the product......that's incredible, a samsung watch is not compatible with a smasung tablet!!
Samsung as learned the Apple's lesson
Successfully paired S3 watch to Nexus 7 tablet
Download a build.prop editor app from the Google Play store and install it
2) Change the Phone model (ro.product.model) to 'SM-N910W8' (this is the Note 4 model number) and also change the Phone Type (ro.build.characteristics) to 'phone'. Save and reboot your tablet."
I used the Nexus toolkit so this was very easy for me. Then I installed the Gear apps like N1NJATH3ORY said. I used Aptoide to search for Samsung, Galaxy, Gear, etc. and downloaded the plugins and apps. You'll need those.
Tab s6 got the same issue
Excuse me can you elaborate more on which app to change and how to change?
just got my tab s6 lte and got the same issue.
Thanks
What is the proper procedure, for changing from one Samsung watch, to another and not receiving the notification to turn on notification access for the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app?
The connected phone is a Verizon branded Samsung Galaxy Note 9 on Android 8.1
I have Gear Fit2 Pro, Gear Sport, Gear S3 and Galaxy Watch Active, with a Verizon branded Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I wear the Active or Fit2 Pro to bed for sleep tracking and the Sport to work the next day. The S3 is worn on non-work days.
When the Fit2 Pro was connected, the Galaxy Wearable app changed to an older version than when the other watches were connected.
I bought the Active so that the modern version of the app would be in use with the Active, hoping that the notification access would not be removed.
I have AUTO SWITCH turned on, in the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app. If I switch, either way, between the Gear Sport and the Gear S3, I do not receive the notification. If I switch either way, between the Gear Sport and the Fit2 Pro or Galaxy Watch Active, my phone receives the notification that turning on access to notifications is needed for the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app.
How can I prevent having to do this, in the morning and at night?
I returned a BT only version of the Galaxy Watch and replaced it with an LTE one. My old watch kept showing in the Wear app until I deleted the Bluetooth entries for it in the phone settings. You might need to delete any backups for the old watch as well in the Wear app.

I have three current watches that I switch between for different purposes. See my third paragraph in the OP.
There are no old watches to remove from Bluetooth settings, but maybe I will try to find where to delete backups. I have cleared data in the wearable app, but maybe they are in my Samsung account.
Thanks, for the idea!

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same problem. GearS3 and Active2
Right so there’s 2 parts to this, I want to know if the Samsung Galaxy Watch works with a Vivo V9. And secondly, to confirm before buying, I downloaded the Samsung Wearables app and opened it. It’s showed some options to connect to different Samsung Gear devices, but the Galaxy Watch just wasn’t on there. I even tried and downloaded all plugins, and all other related apps but none had the option to connect a Galaxy Watch. I’d appreciate if someone could help out as soon as possible. Thank you.
I have a xiaomi and watch just works perfectly, i guess it is the same on vivo.. galaxy wearable shows galaxy watch, no issues there either.
Worked on my OnePlus 7Pro and 8Pro...
Hello
There is still a problem, to use S Healt, you have to connect to a Samsung account but there is a two-step security and it only sends the code to Samsung phones!
Sorry for my English.
