Lock phone with galaxy watch app

I recently got Galaxy watch, and I'm using a note 8. and I used to have an LG R just wanna be able to lock my phone with my watch. Is there an app or do I have to root it? Please Help!

Hello,
So I think this will help you here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...o-lock-shutdown-phone-remotely-t3531315/page1
There is an app called 'Quick Settings' however if it's restricted in your region you may need root or vpn to access it, or at the very least have a copy of the .tpk and send it through SDB to the watch over wifi
Not sure if .tpks with region restrictions work when sideloaded on a region that isn't supported, I haven't personally tested this.
Edit: I see a quick settings by webapp in galaxy wearable but it kept telling me 'Installation Failed'
You may have better luck with it in your region, there's a gearfit2 quick settings from searching store on watch aswell but I couldn't seem to find the right apk/seems to only work for fit.
Cheers,

Problem signing in to samsung account

Hi all, I had just bought a new xiaomi mi 9 phone and I installed galaxy wearble application, galaxy watch plugin and Samsung accessory service, and gave them all permissions, but I can't log in my Samsung account to restore my watch backup or install new faces from store, when trying it gives my a blanc white popup instead of signing in screen, what to do?

Same thing is happening to me on a Pixel 3. Did you manage to fix it at all?

No, I tried my best, looked in all settings and gave all permissions, the strange thing is that samsung pay and Samsung health can sign in normally but galaxy wearable and galaxy store can't, I hope someone can help.

I can't even get Samsung Pay to show up, even having sideloaded the apk onto my Pixel 3...
There's more people with the white page issue here:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...ar-app-on-phone-White-screen/m-p/585638#M7720

Same problemm on my S3 & Watch 42 mm + Huawei M10P. I changed the apk and same result. Chinese phones are banned by samsung?

I don't think so, people have the same issue with LG and pixel phones

Same problem here, moto g 6plus + galaxy watch
Can't sing in on app and white window

It appears to be an Android issue since I tested using my work iPhone and there I can login!
Also annoyed as hell bought the watch yesterday when the issue appears to have started also noticed Samsung accessory service was updated 2 days ago..

IMHO in Samsung world... Samsung Android phones have System app for Account crap...
IMHO it is missing on non Samsung Phones...
No idea if possible to install this System app...
Only as idea...
Best Regards

I have the same issue with One Plus 6T. It looks like issue with Android Oreo support. No response from Samsung by when issue will bebresolved.
Any way we can sideload facer and get additional watch faces ?

I made a thread on thursday morning about this. It's been going on for that long

I installed Samsung Account apk . Now when I click on Error Reports I get login page but even after entering credentials it never logins.
Seems like Galaxy Wearable tries to find the linked Samsung account for login.

Here,

I use a Huawei phone and have the same issue. I just bought my Galaxy Watch and can't seem to login to my Samsung Account.
I was looking into solutions online and came across sideloading .wgt files. Would that work for the Galaxy watch?

Any other way we can sideload Facer or any watch companion to have more watch faces ?

I have the same problem....

I called Samsung customer care as well. They sound as if they don't even know there exists and app called Galaxy Wearable.

Guys good news. After 3 days of fighting with samsung over twitter, email, phone, chat , this issue is resolved.
Please try at your end. I am able to login in my One Plus 6T.

At last, better late than never.

Working at last
Worked this morning, problem solved thanks God.

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,

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....

So last night I tried doing a reset on my active 2 watch to see if that would help. The Numbersync option in the watch no longer showed it was on so I tried turning it on but I would get an error message saying "Mobile network unavailable". Tested it out by calling myself and sending myself a text from another phone and nothing was received on the watch. So watch only worked independently using it's own phone number.
Here's the weird thing now... this morning I wake up and started receiving calls and text messages and they started showing up on my watch! So I go into the watch menu for numbersync and it looks as if it's not turned on but somehow it's synced with my phone?
So currently it's working as if it's synced. So now I'm wondering if I should even go thru the menu option to enable numbersync even though it's working as if it's enabled?
Edit: watch receives calls and messages but because it's connected via bluetooth to my phone. Once disconnected from bluetooth the watch just works independently. Still getting same error message of "Mobile network unavailable" everytime I go into the watch menu and try to get a sync code.

No fix that I know of. I did several resets and went thru 2 esim changes all at the AT&T store and nothing worked. The watch has no internet connection after this last update. Phone calls work but no internet. Test it by disconnecting Bluetooth and using it standalone. You should be able to get into the Galaxy Store or update Weather and nothing works because there's no mobile data.
I ended up having to file a warranty claim thru Samsung and my watch is in route right now to Samsung.

I have also experienced extremely long wait times for support, and usually just hang up now. I was told AT&T was aware of the problem and say it has to do with an update from Samsung and a new update from Samsung will be needed to solve the problem. I hope we can learn more!

Update:
So apparently my watch is in route back to me. Samsung repair ticket indicates the solution was "REPLACED PBA".
I don't know what PBA stands for. However, I could have sworn it was due to the recent software update since a lot of other people are having the same issue.

I received a call today and learned that AT&T was working on some "profile problems" in their NumberSync program that many are experiencing (such as those in this thread). The person called to verify my login name. Before the call, I did update the Galaxy Wear App (that I was told earlier should solve the problem), but that made no difference. I was also told that I would receive a return call in 24 to 48 hours when they had fixed the problem and they would help me connect to NumberSync. I am glad they escalated my ticket a few days ago; hopefully that means I am in the queue of known people with problems to have the problem fixed (if that is the problem and there is a fix). There must be hundreds or thousands with the same problem for them to give some attention to it????

“PBA” stands for Product Board Assembly.
I’m having the same problem as you. The watch works fine when paired with my phone, but in standalone mode I can’t get any mobile data, and I can’t activate Numbersync.
Do you know if your watch overheated when downloading the update? While the update file was downloading to my watch, it overheated and shut itself off because the file was so large. After I restarted the watch, the update completed and everything was working except mobile data. I’m wondering if this has something to do with it.
Please let us know if everything works after replacing the PBA. I may need to send my watch in to Samsung for a replacement as well.

I can't remember exactly if it overheated or not. I know it did reboot but don't remember if I myself turned it back on or if it rebooted by itself after the update...
I"ll come back and update once I get my watch back and can confirm.

Thanks! Also, what kind of phone are you using? I am using my Galaxy Watch Active 2 paired with an iPhone 11 Pro Max, or setup independently in standalone mode. You can set the Watch Active 2 up in standalone mode by scrolling down on the watch’s initial setup screen and pressing the “?”. Either way, I am unable to receive mobile data after the update.
The reason I ask about the type of phone you have is when I called AT&T support, they said it was impossible to receive mobile data if the Watch Active 2 is paired with an iPhone or setup in standalone mode, but this doesn’t make sense because it was working fine for me before. I’m wondering if the update disables mobile data unless the Watch is paired to an Android phone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and both my watch and Note 8 were purchased directly with AT&T and have had continued service since day 1.
That doesn't make sense at all actually because if it's an LTE watch and it has it's own line, it's supposed to have all the functions available - and that includes phone calls, texts, and internet (data).

Last Friday I called AT&T about my NumberSync issues after my Active2 watch update. They said they'd call back when they researched it. I received a call this afternoon from AT&T about profile issues due to the new watch software and now my NumberSync issue is resolved. I was able to get my Sync Code and sync up my Galaxy s20 Ultra without any problems. A minute or so after syncing, I received tons of text messages that were sent to my phone from last week before the watch update.

Congratulations and thanks for this helpful information! I have yet to receive a call to finally resolve the issue, and I just tried to get a code and still get the same error message. Perhaps tomorrow I will be fortunate to receive a call too. I will let everyone know. I will also be curious to know if those who sent their watches in for warranty work will have a seamless syncing with their new or refurbished watches. At least I now know where the problem lies and that AT&T has found a solution at least for some! Thanks again! BTW: I was thinking of upgrading to the s20, but did not want to do so if this problem continued..

guys can u tell me in R825U unlocked which csc u used ...as iam on R825F (XSA) and want to shift to USA..unlocked
And do anyone has the latest firmware that can be used to after changing the CSC region.

As of today, August 7, no one has called me back to resolve this issue and numbersync still does not work for me. When trying to call or chat with ATT Support, I am told they have a high call volume. So, I have been promised by tech support that they have a solution and that I would be called within 48 hours and still no call. After trying several times, it appears they have to fix the problem and call you to fix the problem, because I still cannot get a code. I hope we can hear some good news from someone that we can finally get a code without needing a tech support call. I suppose we will get no tech support calls over the weekend.
