So my watch will arrive today (I am currently using an iPhone). My new galaxy 20 ultra won't arrive till Wed. If I set up my watch for use now and use it with the iPhone until the Samsung arrives, how difficult will it be to pair it to the galaxy? Specifically, will my health data remain in shealth or will I have to start over from scratch? I understand that the watch will probably need to be reset to migrate over to android.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, the watch must reset, to be able to connect to the new phone. You will lose all activity data... But still, you can use the watch now, you won't be able to use all functionality on the watch, but when Samsung phone came, everything will work great
All your activity data stay in SHealth, just no forget to sync watch/phone/Shealth before reset the watch to connect on new phone to keep lastest data. Keep same Samsung account.

Hello.
I'm planning on buying an android wear watch. I currently have an iPhone, and will be getting an android phone for sure in 6 months (iPhone bill still goes for 6 months). I was wondering, can I install apps on my friends android phone, install them to my watch, and then when I go away, still use those apps.
Like, calculator, small games etc..?
I understand I need a phone to set them up, and that, I have. I also understand I can't get notifications on my watch without the phone. but apps installed on the watch like a calculator, can be used without the phone, or not?
Thanks!

Calculator can work without phone. And some game. And also you can change some watch face without phone.
But to be honest, this watch real usage is to push notification(email, sms, whatapp, agenda, alarm) to watch for you easy access. If money is not your concern than go for it now and play. Otherwise wait you get android phone to have full usage of it.
Or you may can look into samsong gear S watch will be in market this month, it can do lots of thing without phone.
I change ROMs on my LG G2....let's just say frequently. Ever since getting the 360 it seems like every time I switch to try something else I have to reset the watch. Is there any way to use something like TiBu with android wear and resync the watch once the new ROM has been flashed? I hate loosing all of my step data and going back through the initial Moto analysis every time.

Try backing up google play services and see what happens.
I wiped the data on it last night in a attempt to fix my Netflix on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and it completely cleared android wear forcing me to reset the watch
I tried using TiBu to backup bluetooth paired devices, it kept the pair but Android Wear app didn't like it and I had to reset my watch.
I found a copy of BeeSomething, that was pulled from the playstore. It allowed you to pair to multiple DIFFERENT devices....and by different, it had to be completely unique. Swapping roms didn't count (I did not go so far as to change mac address on my phone...was not feeling that determined to make it work).
So for now, I stay on cm12, use MultiBoot to install a different rom, and disregard my moto360...and in that, I have only lasted about 5 minutes after setting up a new rom, I keep going back to cm12.
But dirty flashing does not affect the watch data Which made me very happy.
Hi Everyone.
Keen to get a cellular version of the galaxy watch (keener for a cellular version of the watch active but apparently its not coming our with a cellular version) but I have a huawei mate 9,
Can anyone tell me...
Will it work with a mate 9?
If not what functions are not active?
Does it matter if the watch is a cellular version? does it being cellular mean it can connect directly to apps and access required information.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have gone looking but cant find any reference ..
Thanks Tony
I have a Samsung phone so I'm not certain that this is 100% the truth, just what I have read from people in here or over the galaxy watch subreddit.
It should not matter what android phone is most things will work fine just like with a Samsung phone, I've only seen people talking about some compatibility issues with iPhone.
Now about the esim..
What I've read about it is that it works as if you have the phone with Bluetooth with you, you will get all the notifications but you don't have apps on the watch.
All of the notifications will be just mirrored from the phone notifications and the apps you can get on the watch right now are really limited.
Well you have Spotify and Samsung mail but for the others you can only do the same as on the phone notifications, read most of them, answer some things but it's going to be limited, on messaging apps you can see the last 10 but once you close the notification you have to wait until you get another etc.
If you often go out to do things like some kind of sport that doesn't allow you to bring the phone or you think you could use it while doing other things, it can be worth it but it's not going to work fully as a secondary smartphone, just as a app notification center + phone.
I'm using a cellular Galaxy Watch with a Huawei P20 Pro and it works perfectly.
Cheers,
Tom.
In all honesty, since they now allow you to download/install the Galaxy Weable app on pretty much any device now, you can use it with whatever device the app will work with.
I mean, there are always limitations and whatnot, but rule of thumb, yeah, it's not locked to Samsung phones only. Hell, they even let i(cough)Phone users use it! (unlike that fruity company with their watches).
Thanks!
Does the Samsung Galaxy Cellular smart watch work with huawei pro20?

You may have to activate LTE on a samsung phone. S7 or newer.
I'm on a p30 pro. Panicked when I tried to activate LTE through the wearable app and it wouldn't work. Borrowed an S10, put in sim card and activated. All good now.
Works a treat with my OnePlus 8 Pro! Cheers
I'm using Galaxy Watch Active 1 and Honor 9 lite, all function on watch work well ( pairing, get whatsapp,email, SMS notification, purchasing app). And I can access galaxy store without phone (using Wifi network).

I have Galaxy Watch R800 (BT, WiFi only) and Huawei P20 PRO and I cannot make a Galaxy Store on the watch to work. Any idea?
Everyone I try to run Galaxy Store on my GW i get error. I can run galaxy store on my phone and it works. I have the same problem with Bixby. Any other app works great.
I get this error even on WiFi connection.
My advice for those who want to perfectly match the smartphone with the watch: If you own a huawei smartphone then buy a huawei watch and if you own a samsung smartphone then buy a samsung watch! Otherwise, after few updates of one or another nobody guarrantee if pair samsung/huawei/xiaomi or whatever will still work without bugs...
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 ?

Have you enabled it with your carrier? Mine required an extra plan to be able to use the 4g with my watch.
Thanks U for your Answer.
Of course, it s actived
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
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...
