Using galaxy watch with nob Samsung phone

I am planning to buy a new phone, pocophone f1 is an option, but I don't know if the galaxy watch will work properly with it. Any one has experience with pairing it to pocophone or other non Samsung phones? Thanks.

Mine is paired to an Honor 8 Pro. It paired right out of the box with no problems. Works much better than my old Moto 360 2nd Gen. I don't have Samsung Pay but I don't care about that.

What about recieving notifications on the watch and downloading applications from galaxy store from your phone?

I used my former S3 with a former Honor 8 and had no problem with notifications or downloading apps from Galaxy store. I wouldn't expect problems with the Galaxy.

Has anyone had their watch receive calls and your phone never rings and then when you turn your watch off phone calls go right to voicemail?

No problems whatsoever.

I have had NO issues with the watch and my Oneplus 5T.

If phone is not rooted, bootloader locked, and so play store device status is certified :
You can download and install galaxy gear app, from which you'll be able to pair and manage the galaxy watch.
It's what i done on my oneplus 5 : unrooted, re-locked. Everything works. As a non samsung phone owner, the only things that do not are :
- samsung pay
- integrated tizen email app

Or you can download the apk from apkmirror and use it with root. That's what I'm doing now. Samsung pay may or may not work, I don't use it so I don't know.
You need Samsung accessory service, the galaxy gear plugin and the galaxy wearble app. Mine works flawlessly with a custom ROM with xposed, rooted.

Can you download them without rooting, or must I root the phone?

You can do it without root but you need to enable the install from unknown sources option

they have a modded Samsung store to stop that root check they have magisk mods to hide root

I can confirm that this works on non-samsung devices. I get everything pushed to my watch from my phone as long as I have the notification for the app enabled at the time. The only issues I see with the Samsung Pay is if you don't have the app installed on your phone due to the fact that it uses NFC to make the transaction now so as long as your phone supports NFC you can use Samsung Pay as well. If not then you can use the ported version of Google Pay, but I wouldn't personally recommended due to the fact that it is ran by a third-party developer. As for root, I have not seen an issue or been lock out of anything in the watch due to being rooted so I can't confirm nor deny if it is fully root functional.

Rooted pixel 2 xl and everything works as it should.

Galaxy watch Reactivation Lock : ON (SM-R800)

I have a Galaxy Watch SM-R800 and the Galaxy Wearables app installed on my S10+ but couldn't pair my watch with my phone. Both my phone and watch were bought in India, but I use them here in Italy cause I live here.
I used this watch for many days with no problem at all and then one day I upgraded my phone to One UI 2 (beta) and I encountered this bug with security module, which locked me out from entering the phone even though I was entering the correct Pin or passcode.
After that I rolled back my phone to Android 9 (stable) version.
So my assumption is that the procedure that I followed to upgrade my phone to One UI 2 might have caused this issue with my watch.
Firstly I created a Samsung account with my email which by default is Italian cause of location, but I had to sign up for the beta program using an India account. No beta testing in Italy.
As suggested on XDA forums by someone I had to delete my Italian Samsung account and create Indian account with same email if I want to enroll for the beta program, which I did.
So I didn't use the watch for few days and later when I tried to pair it with my phone it says, "Couldn't Pair your watch" (Try Again/ Cancel)
I'm using the same email Id for Signing In to finish the setup of pairing with which I initially setup both the Phone and watch. It sometimes says I am using a different account from the one I used earlier to setup. I'm definitely sure that I never used any other account of mine or a friend. (No others)
I need your help if someone has a solution for this situation.
Thanks,
Akhil Bellam.

Hello. did you tried to reinitialise the watch?

The watch is locked (reactivation lock (not other security lock)) by original samsung account used when it was locked. You MUST NOT DELETE this account UNTIL the watch was UNLOCKED. If you delete the original account you will (never) not able to unlock the watch. (or use hack (paid) method))

I can help u have to use netodin and install combination file and then u have to remove reactivation lock and then install official firmware. Indeed a long and complicated process. Msg me on whatsapp 923107671256

It doesn't work if you try anything else other than flashing it.
By the way I fixed my watch finally.
I had to use the firmware and other combination files, but I couldn't find them anywhere on the web.
And then finally I found this video on Youtube showing how to remove that re-activation lock on Gear S3. youtube . com/watch?v=Afx3RWWFSfg&t=1s
and I contacted the guy on Facebook.
He redirected me to his website, where I paid him a little money $15 and he provided me with the necessary files to do the task.

Galaxy Watch 4G LTE

Hello everyone, I've had a problem for a few days. (I am from France)
I have a galaxy S10 running Android 10
And a Galaxy watch under tizen 4.0.0.4 (I'm waiting for 4.0.0.7)
The stand-alone mode works, but the remote connected mode (4G) no longer works. However, I am good in 4g on the phone and on the watch. Also, I have activated on galaxy wearable, the remote connection box. (see picture)
Is this a problem from Samsung? Watch? Phone? Thanks for your help ?

Sometimes I have to reboot watch to make it work

Good day to you I'm working on the assumption that it is something that has worked and stopped functioning temporarily.
I wouldn't worry about it too much to be honest.
The watch connects to the phone over LTE via some cloud servers, occasionally they have issues with getting the watch to connect with the phone effectively, it happened to me a few weeks back but sorted it's self out after a few hours.
If it's something that's been going on for a longer time than a day or so, then it's time to start troubleshooting.

thank you for the answer. I also think that it comes from samsung servers because even when my watch is connected by Wifi and the mobile in 4g (or wifi because I also tested) it does not work anymore. However, it's been over 2 days now, so I don't think it comes from the watch ... Am I wrong?

Hmmm, try uninstalling the wear app, then reinstall again, if that isn't working you can try resetting the watch to factory settings and try again, it is possible it's a Samsung service issue, definitely something isn't handshaking somewhere, 2 days seems a bit of a long time for it to be a service issue though :/

Well, I tested everything to find out where the problem could come from. However, less than one could say is that Samsung technicians are not ... How to say ... Responsive! And that's a shame. That said, the main thing is to have found (I hope) the solution, and that it could help people.
The problem came from the toggle of the request "notif arriving on lel" and which is sent to the samsung account and then that the watch receives it and by analyzing my samsung account (with a pc on the samsung site), it generates that the "cloud" part of my account was not active but in error (and no response from samsung on an e-mail that I sent to them, hence my amazement about the reactivity).
Suddenly, I had a second samsung account, I re-paired everything, put this new account in wearale (essential), checked on the samung site that cloud state "active" and the ca worked direct .....
So the mystery: why my cloud (which is used to receive notifications) was in error .... I would never know lol. Or was it a confluence between the 2 accounts? I don't think it worked before ... In advance, I completely deleted this account that had the error.
I hope this solution will be eternal lol and that it will help

Samsung Pay for Galaxy Watch Active 2 using Rooted device

Hi!
I was wondering if anyone managed to setup Samsung Pay on their galaxy watch active 2 while their phone is rooted.
I can't setup SPay on my watch since it requires setting it up on my galaxy s10+ phone which is rooted.
Maybe any bypass or any other suggestion?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, Knox kills the ability to setup Samsung pay on the watch. Pity because I was considering the Galaxy Note 20 or Galaxy Note S10+ as my next phone due to processor specs.
Once Knox is tripped, one cannot go back (though there is anecdotal discussion on some Samsung devices that people have had Knox reset to 0x0 after being tripped).
Sorry I could not be of more help.
Cheers,

Works fine on my rooted Pixel 2 XL
I decided after my Note 4 finally died to exit the Samsung family and get on with life, they were making it just too hard to do anything if your are a tinkerer....

I was able to get it to work on mine. Uninstall the Samsung pay plugin on your phone then reinstall it and use the magisk hide option in magisk to hide it from the 2 plugins I have in my screenshot. Close the magisk manager app and then try it. You have to be fast at signing in and adding a card. If it pops up with the error saying that your device is modified just close the Samsung pay app and open it again and keep going. If it keeps going you might have to block more of the plugins for the Samsung plugin in the magisk manager hide option.

Once you get it running, to keep it working across ROM's, if youre in the habit of flashing different ROM's, and want to keep your Samsung Pay working across flashes, along with the connection to the watch (without having to reset it), heres how i do it:
Keeping Watch Connection And Samsung Pay Across ROMs
This is currently how i keep my Galaxy Active 2 working - connected and Samsung Pay working - across ROM flashes without having to reset it every time, because resetting sucks Please note: At time of writing theres no known way to keep BP...

The basic part is to set the same Android ID as when you first got it working....

Samsung galaxy watch

Hello,
I bought the galaxy watch yesterday and i noticed the galaxy store does not work.
The watch tells me there is an error and tells me to try again. I tried to reboot and also did software updates but still nothing. I'm using a oneplus 9 pro with the watch. Is this a support problem and are there any fixes ? If there arent any i might return the watch.

I think you conot use galaxy store if you dont have samsung phone.

Not even close to accurate, why would you even think that's the case?

I dont know what causes the issue but it still does not work at all. I can use the galaxy store on my phone trough the galaxy watch app and then send apps to my watch but i can't acces the store on my watch. Also i tought i could pay with this watch but thats not available in the Netherlands wich is also what i got the watch for

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to access the Store on your watch, I thought you were trying on your phone. Regardless, I have an LG phone and my watch seems to connect to the store just fine. Eek, maybe a factory reset is in order. Then once it's done initializing, try the store immediately.
