Galaxy Watch: Bixby app not updating - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hi,
I recently changed the CSC on my Galaxy to XAR to get Samsung Pay working.
After this change the Bixby app on my watch is refusing to update and hence cannot use bixby. When i press update button on my watch, i always get a message asking me to sign in to my Samsung account, which i already have.
Attaching screenshots for reference.
What could be the issue ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Google Assistant on Galaxy S6

Hi everyone...
I just got the updated Google app, which is supposed to enable Google Assistant on all phones running Marshmallow and Nougat. Here is the info from Google's own blog...
https://blog.google/products/assistant/meet-your-googleassistant/
According to this blog, "To get started, touch and hold the Home button"
But... if I do that, it just opens up Google Now On Tap (like it always has).
Has anyone gotten it working on a stock S6?
Thanks...

I had the same thing on my S6 and couldn't figure out for the life of me how to enable the feature. I believe there's something server side Google has to do to enable it. Based on many of the press releases there would be an Google Play Services update and then it commented that Google would be rolling out the feature in waves.
At least I hope that's the case and we not excluded.
It is a server side switch.

Use the Assistant enabler Xposed module to get it working for now.
Google Assistant showed up on my S6 last night. One thing I did was join the beta program for Google Play Services. The only thing that I'm not a fan of is the removal of "stories to read" news articles. Otherwise it works quite well.
Updated to latest services apk (from apkmirror) yesterday. Got the assistant update this morning.
Mine just popped up with the prompt to set it up.. one day, it's working now. How do I get it to talk in the UK voice again? it's no longer an option
Edit: It is now an option after another update.

Google hangouts on new galaxy watch

So, I just today got the new Samsung Galaxy watch. I lost my Gear S3 Frontier so decided it was time for an upgrade to the latest Galaxy Watch.
I had it set up perfect on my frontier watch where I used Google Hangouts as both my phone dialer and text message program since that is what I was using on my cellphone anyway. I never used my actual dialer or texting program native on my Samsung Galaxy S9 phone.
My phone has not changed and I retrieved and updated my settings to my new Galaxy Gear phone. But something is amiss...
It was a few years ago but I *THINK* the way I made Google Hangouts messaging program and the Hangouts/Talk dialer work is there was an app by Google either in the Galaxy App store or Google play store and someone passed the messages to my watch.
Now I cant find it or remember the way I made it all work. When I call my Google Voice/Hangouts phone number from another phone I get a quick popup notification on my watch but it does not vibrate nor can I use quick reply or reply at all. I used to be able to do that on my Gear S3 Frontier. Also my watch does vibrate and fully functional on other programs like Facebook messenger.
Anyone know how I can get it to work again like that on my new Galaxy watch? Its a big deal breaker for me since that is my main number Google number!
It won't work because Hangouts is Google App and Samsung run Tizen.
You can reply to messages such as WhatsApp or IG but you can instigate.

Incorrect. I had it working perfectly find on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Frontier watch. You are correct it is Tizen OS on watch but somehow I got it to work perfectly. I think they may have had the hangouts app in the Samsung app store but I dont see it there anymore.
Bottom line there is a way to do it because I have before and it worked perfect with notfication and vibration but I forgot exact how I did it and lost old watch now have the new latest Galaxy Watch.
So I get all other notifications on my new Galaxy watch with both visual popup on watch notifications and vibrations with the exception of the Google hangouts notifications they just show up my watch does not vibrate on those which is the most important thing to me which I am trying to figure out but my phone does vibrate on those alerts.
just wondering if there is an update, would be great to get Google Voice on the Galaxy Watch active 2

Cannot log into samsung wear app on phone. Shows white screen!

I just got this phone today and when i try and log into the galaxy wear app, just a white screen appears and i cannot do anything. Its a Xiaomi Mi 9.
Many of us are facing the same issue. Got no reply from Samsung either.
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?
I have some issue few day ago..today i can log in to my samsung account on xiaomi MI 5..maybe samsung was repair their server..
This issue is back for me, 3 years later

GAssist question for galaxy watch

I installed GAssist. It works great so far.
Thank You Cybernetic87 for your hard work and time put in on this.
The only problem I have is that when asking certain questions it replies with "your assistant needs permission to help you with that".
I can ask how far the moon is or what the weather is some where. I get the answer.
If I ask something like how to cure a bug bite. I get the "your assistant needs permission to help you with that".
I enabled all the permissions on the watch and phone that I could find. What other permissions does it need?
Weird. I just asked my GW the same question and I got the answer. Did your google assistant popped up for some permissions when you 1st tried asking someting? Becasue my did. When you open your assistant setting on your phone, go to Assitant tab. On the bottom there should be 'Assistant devices'. How many there are? There should be your phone, and something like 'galaxy_watch'.
I deleted and added the watch back and now it works. Must just be sensitive.
How to turn on the GAssist by voice command?

You can't turn it on by voice - because battery drain -
You can put it on double click. it's very easy
Any possibility to have Bixby pass commands to gassist? If so, maybe it would be possible to launch gassist from Bixby by voice....something like "Hi Bixby...ask Google to [assistant command]"
I know this would have Bixby launch gassist to launch Google assistant cloud ... but if there is no noticible lag, this might work to get to google assistant by voice on our watch.
Hello.
How to remove gassist from Google Assistant and remove Galaxy watch from devices listed in Google Home app? I have removed OAuth APIs and credentials from Google Cloud Console and uninstalled GAssist from watch and phone. Unfortunately Galaxy Watch device is still visible within Google Home and cannot be removed. How to remove it?

Weather not working on GWA2

Hey all,
I've recently gotten the Galaxy Watch Active 2, and already gotten around to changing the region to KOO. Now have the latest Tizen 5.
However, I'm having issues with a few things. Most importantly, the Weather app on the watch wants me to add a location, so I click "add", and it tells me to add it on my phone. And on my phone, it sends me to the Weather app settings within the Wearable app, and I get a toast notification saying "Couldn't add location. Connect to a network and try again.". Same happens when I tap on "locations" in the settings manually.
I don't have a Samsung phone, so I have no dedicated Samsung Weather app. Could that be the issue? Or what's the problem?
P.S. the same issue was there on Tizen 4, so it's not a Tizen 5 bug
Nevermind, I figured it out! I installed the Samsung Weather Forecast app from apkmirror and restarted my phone afterwards. Not sure which of those fixed it. Maybe both. But it thankfully works now!
Good to know, glad it's recovered. cheers
