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
Hello
I am new to your site, so i hope this is ok to post here.
Please help........I fell for a beautiful all singing all dancing Sony SW2 on ebay, unfortunatly Sony tell me that the SW2 is a no longer a product supported by Sony and that is why the Smart Connect app is available but not the Sony Smartwatch 2 Host. The watch does say it is connected to my Xperia L3 and vise versa but it is not responsive at all to the phone. and if i turn the watch off then on again it just asks me for the SW2 host again.
Is there a way of over riding the watches request for the host app or have i just paid £42 for a lovely looking calculater watch?
Thank you all in advance.
Louise

You can search "sony sw2" on the playstore. There are still many apps
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sony sw2&c=apps
Hi
I still face the same issue, even I installed the apk you gave us, i cannot open it or launch it What can I do it's for a gift
Thank you in advance.
Cheers

Same issue here. Just gave it to my son. He has OnePlus 3. Sony actually hosts the APK file on their site, but when I install it, you can only hit "Done", as "Open" is grayed out. There is nothing in the app drawer, and nothing under internal storage/Android/data
Master app is the "Sony Smart Connect" the "Smartwatch SW2" app is only a plugin for the master app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware
But not all "Smart Connect App" works with all phone/watch/plugin. I must often install older Smart Connect Version depend of phone and Android version. Not special rules, I must try differents versions from my differents backup until it works. It is the game with older device and older software on older or newest phone and OS
I just found this site and downloaded your backup but how do I get it to my smartwatch2? I tried plugging the usb cord from the watch to my pc but nothing registers under "My Computer" to be able to transfer a file?
Is there any apps/extensions who still works on Sony smartwatch 2? I just have the five basic apps(alarm, flashlight, calculator, stop watch and timer. I have tried to install several apps/extensions but nothing have been synced to the watch so that I could use them
Almost all works. Just need use old Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch 2 plugin.
I use Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001
and Smartwatch 2 app V 1.6.31
this works on Android 11
Hello everyone! Extensions don't seem to show on the app after being installed. I'm using a Galaxy A50 on Android 10 / OneUI 2.5, any clue?

Thank you for the reply, I have both of those apps with exact same version as you wrote, what extensions do you use at your watch?

You're a lifesaver. Just got it working on android Q. Thanks!
If it helps anyone : I had installed first the Sony Smart Connect V5.7.35.0001, then tried connecting to the watch, then installed the apk Smartwatch2 app V1.6.31 from Sony's website.
It did not work, even after a reboot, because the Smart connect was still trying to install the plugin.
I removed and reinstalled the Sony Smart Connect app and rebooted the phone : it recognized the plugin automatically.
So I would say : try installing the SmartWatch2 host apk first, then the Smart Connect app from the store.
Hi. Is there a call app available? Don't need to answer, just want to see who's calling when a call comes in, I answer on my headset. Really desperate, does anybody have any info? Thanks

Informer - Notifications for Sony SW2This app is the only one I found that displayed missed calls etc. It's rather unreliable for me. Try it yourself.

Thanks, I've downloaded it. Quite good but doesn't really seem to do calls. I went on to Sony and they seem to have the calling apk but I can't get it to work. Does it work for anyone else?

I bought this watch 2 days ago, having a nightmare with it. Hours and hours trying to make it work at my Samsung 10. Sony Smart Connect and Smartwatch App installed and paring with the phone. The problem is that as I could search on the web, the native apps provided in Sony's website just work with Sony smartphones. At the end of the day it is a useless smartwatch if you expect it to at least have the Calling Function.
Just got a Samsung Galaxy Active 2 and it won't pair.. I had to manually download the galaxy wearable app from apk mirror when I went to setup my Samsung Gear Sport but that was the only hurdle. Magisk hide isn't helping, manually updated what I can tell are the plug-ins, removed everything to start fresh and still no luck. I think it sees the unlocked bootloader and that's causing this. I would hate to have to go that route to even use the watch. Any suggestions?
Edit: well crap, now my gear sport won't connect. Only difference between initial setup and now is that I'm on Android 10 and had set the sport up on 9. This sucks.
Edit 2: Got it. Samsung Accessory Service app needed to be installed. 3 apps to get it to register, new watch is working now.
hello,
I own vw polo 2019 with an android head unit, with a launcher installed by the dealer.
it hides a lot of apps including settings.
about a year ago I was able to somehow download play store and install some apps, but after an update the play store and the apps Ive downloaded are gone (idk if deleted or just hidden because of the launcher).
now, I heard there is a way to access the web browser via the Waze app (if anyone has a different way I’ll be glad), and install the store again.
but my problem starts here - I no longer have data connection in my car, meaning I need to connect it to hotspot, but since I can’t access the settings app, I can’t do it.
I don’t know much about android since I have an iPhone, so is there anyone who knows how to access settings, and install play store again? and better - change the launcher so I will not have to do it all the time?
thanks!

Hi guys
So, I've recently picked up my 8 year old Sony SmartWatch 2 and some wristbands for it since mine constantly self destroyed themselves, being the reason i stopped using the watch in 2017 or so.
So, I use a Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) with android 10 and one ui 2.0 and I installed the Smart connect version 5.7.35.0001 as recommended in one of the posts here I believe and I've sideloaded the Smartwatch 2 host app both found on sony's website (https://www.sony.com/electronics/su...es-xperia-smart-devices/sw2/articles/00241423) and one found on the same post in XDA that i saw for the companion app. The thing is, I can't get the text companion app (the official one) to show up on the watch and on the host app after being sideloaded, neither the gmail, the call manager and anything at all.
I've tried anything from resetting the watch a bunch of times to installing older versions of the host and smart connect app, but i still can't get it to work.
Can anyone help me please? I really like this watch
