Hi guys, I this watch from a local vendor Orange with e-sim. Unfortunately I entered wrong PIN code 3 times and I need PUK code. Orange is not able to give it to me as I also have Galaxy Watch 3 and they can see only one active e-sim under my profile now. Is there a way how to bypass this step? I can´t get into the watch environment
Thanks

Hi,
My GT-I9195 sourced from Europe as an airline rewards item. Fortunately, was travelling to UK and took advantage of advice from documentation and confirmed with Samsung in UK that as long as phone used in Europe for 5 mins of calls, it would accept new SIM from provider in Australia without problem ie it would have unlocked itself from Europe zone. (on return to Australia, phone still receiving messages from Vodaphone in UK with original 1 month only expired SIM.) Before getting and installing new SIM, I set a PIN, didn't use phone for a month and committed worst sin of forgetting PIN. So I have two options I think.
1) Do factory reset and then cope with region reset since I am assuming phone will revert to Europe only. Not worried about losing data.
2) Clear PIN using one of methods available on XDA such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397797 but this will work with debug mode only. In order to set debug mode need access to settings which is not possible with phone PIN locked. So catch 22.
Would appreciate any advice with this. Would value simplest solution since although I am PC competent, phones are a whole new area for me. Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to force the galaxy wearable app to pop up the qr code scanning option in order to download an esim profile to my german watch 46 lte? My phone has a Belgian sim card but the watch is german DBT. When I open the esim settings in the watch i usually get an error saying my network isn't supported, which actually is true (no esim providers in Belgium for the moment). So I don't see a qr code option unfortunately. However a few months ago I suddenly saw the qr option popping up, although still no esim support for my provider. But this way a was able to scan and download an esim profile from a foreign roaming provider, and it worked.
Unfortunately since a few weeks (or maybe after a wearable app update) the qr option dissapeared again. Does anybody know a way to get this option back? The esim I downloaded back then ofcourse is still working , but its data only and I would like to change to another esim provider, but I can't because the qr code option is gone...
I have the same problem. Did you manage to find a solution to the issue of the QR code not showing?
1.) Open "Galaxy Wearable" on your phone
2.) Make sure it's connected to your watch via Bluetooth
3.) 3 lines on top-left corner to open drawer then select "About Galaxy Wearable"
4.) On this screen you'll see version numbers.
5.) Touch 5 times on the Version of "Watch xy Plugin"
6.) Select "Test ESIM Feature" from this hidden menu
7.) Then you can change "Current QR TestMode: off" -> to "Current QR TestMode: on"
After these steps whenever you want to add a provider to your watch, Wearable app will always be forced to open the QR reader during the ESim activation.
Just got my hands on a Samsung Watch 4 with LTE in UK. Above tip doesn't seem to work anymore. Any other way to enter a QR code?
Currently, it just redirects me to my phone provider without giving an option for QR code.

i have the US variant of the Watch 4 and those steps worked flawlessly for me
My settings screen has been changed and I can't touch the version 5 times anymore.
It seems Samsung has closed this hole with the new Wearable application.
@newbagain: could you post your screenshot of the about section?
Forgive me. Have to press 5times on "Galaxy Wearable" label now.

No good bud, I have a Watch3 LTE unlocked directly from samsung and a S22U1 fully unlocked and this only will work if youre on the same provider with your phone that you want to add to your watch. I have two different providers and have been trying to remember how to do your described steps and it doesn't seem to work for some stupid reason
Trying to Configure Note10+ 5G (N976V) with Visible but can not add APNs. The option is Greyed out. I was able to do it with my Verizon S10 that is also not officially supported. Crazy thing is that for about 5 min i was able to use the Visible SIM in my Note and Call and Send Txt until I rebooted the Phone. The Phone is paid off and Im using it on Mint Mobile now but it doesnt Show the T-Mo Boot Logo when I switched SIMs like my S10 Did. Has anyone been able to get this to work. I was told by Samsung that I may need to Reflash the Phone.
i have the regular unlocked note10+ working on visible.
N976V on Visible.
I am having the same issue, the APN settings are disabled. If you get this resolved before I can figure out a work around please let me know. Thank you.

Did you work it out? if yes, can you share how?
As soon as someone has resolved this issue, please update this forum page!
I just upgraded my note 8(on Visible) to the note 10 plus 5g. After i put in the Visible sim card into my note 10 phone, the phone was not working with the Visible sim card. I was connected onto the wifi network at work and I went into the settings to update the APN information, but it was greyed out and could not enter that information into the phone. After a few hours of googling to see if I could fixed the greyed out APN area so that I could actually enter in the programming, I said let me check the phone outside with wifi turned off. I went outside and tried to place a call and the call connected. I was then able to get wifi calling turned on since the phone was not allowing me to do so before. I went back into work and tried to place a call on the wifi network and it worked. I also tried sending text messages and mms messages and they all work. I checked the settings under the APN area and the phone automatically populated the Visible Internet setting but it was also greyed out, but it was working and I was so happy. I am so happy now with my new galaxy note 10 5g phone that is up and fully working with the Visible sim card. So I believe that having the phone connect onto the cell tower signal and not the wifi allowed the phone to pull in the APN information that it needed. I also reset via the setting the network connections while I was outside a few times. Hopes that this helps...
Change CSC with SamFw Tool (don't brick your device!!!)
Don't update beyond U4
Unlock bootloader and root.
Modify everything.
Accuse Samsung of being stupid for ever creating such a product with such limitations.
Hi folks,
I recently bought an Active Watch 2 and already have a Vodafone UK mobile account to which I added the One Number service.
I've discovered that on my watch while on 4G, I cannot make or receive phone calls.
There is definitely a data connection there, as I can send a text message or use the Internet browser app to view a website.
What happens is I dial a number, I get 2 beeps and then a Call Ended message. I've spent over 10 hours on the phone/chat to Vodafone trying to get this resolved to no avail. I've done a number of resets, SIM swaps etc.
This morning I noticed on the watch under Settings in the Phone app, that there is an option for "Preferred Number for Calls" which is greyed out and set to 'Watch'. I'm sure at one point when I first got the watch I was able to select Phone or Watch. Could this have something to do with it? Is the VF network blocking the call because the watch is trying to phone from the One Number secondary number instead of my contract phone number ?
Any help appreciated!
Hey there.
I have the exact same problem myself, my carrier is o2 and have an Active2 LTE.
Set everything up through the esim QR Code. I am the £5 data per month, and yet am unable to make or receive phone calls through LTE / Wi-Fi. No issues though with data and messaging.
It occasionally worked when I first set it up a couple of months ago, but since the latest Tizen update to 5.0 something, there is no option under 'remote connection' in the Galaxy Wearable app to make/receive calls. When testing my original Galaxy Watch out, the call option is there and it is on Tizen 4.0 and I am able to make WiFi calls.
At first I thought the issue was with o2 but am now thinking it is related to Samsung services. Via Bluetooth the Active2 works fine with call functionality but through WiFi/lte, nothing. The odd issue as well, is that, when testing through LTE on the watch it remotely connects very briefly to the phone when attempting the call but then the phone automatically disconnects from remote dialling.
I would say that it is definitely software related, I also have tried all troubleshooting issues and more with no luck.
Hey there. Have you managed to get a fix for this?
I have been in contact with both o2 and Samaunf on this very issue and Samsung are saying to send it in for repairs. I am very dubious though that it is a hardware issue, rather software related.
Hi I have now got both a galaxy watch and a galaxy watch3 here in the UK to now work stand alone on a pay as you go ESIM and wondered if some of my findings may help.....
First the Galaxy Watch i bought second hand on an auction site
it had been on EE in the UK and when i first loaded an esim on it I could not make calls or connect to the network...
I looked under settings connections mobile networks only to find that there was no option to select 3g / 3g4g mode ....
Hence the unit was setup only to connect via 4g data ....by default ....and so would only send Voice calls over LTE ...and hence when i changed the ESIM from EE yo Vodafone I could not make calls or SMS ...and only had emergency calls over vodafone if i was in a 4g service area with no ability to search for or connect to 3g
So I downloaded OXX versions of the firmware instead of OXA for the UK ...and i got the earliest version i could find.
Then loaded it onto the watch ... then I checked the CSC and EE where using a non BTU CSC code so first...
I changed the CSC to BTU so I could support non EE ESIMs
Next I Uploaded an ESIM from Vodafone via Galaxy Wear on a samsung phone over a bluetooth link after first activating
the esim test feature of wear app to enable QT code scanning to load the ESIM.
The OXX firmware activated the 3g 3g-4g section option under settings connections mobile networks so i could enable 4g/3g auto selection .....then the watch could find and connect to 3g or 4g networks and make voice calls and send / recieve sms.
then I put the watch into firmware download mode to install OXA firmware ...and it was an the oldest version i could find
the watch rebooted and so i now had OXA firmware with the 3g-3g/4g toggle still present under settings.
checked it was on 3g-4g auto selection.
then I enabled Dexv mode and made sure the CSC was still on BTU for generic UK ....it wasnt it had changed so I reset it to BTU
then I upgraded the firmware to the latest version via wear app ...
So end up with a generic BTU UK CSC with the latest Firmware BUT with the 3g/4g selection option under mobile networks.
with another service providers ESIM installed 3g/4g to auto select and it all works fine.
hence myadvice is if you dont have 3g/4g then the watch may be locked to 4g ONLY and VOLTE as its only mode with the CDC set to something generic EE for example...
Hope this is of assistance as many conplain that the watch wont work stand alone for voice calls or sms properly
my days of time and many esim tests until i got 3g support and 3g-4g auto load lead mr to think that the watch is often
locked to 4g data and VOLTE only ....
I now have done this on watch and watch 3 models with full sucess stand alone pay as you go esims ....with the watch fully stand alone...working like a normal cell phone ....with esim service with a different provider to the sim in my samsung phone
comment please .... hope that helps
Hi. My problem is different from this. I can make and receive calls from My Active2 LTE and I can also send text messages. However, I cannot receive text messages. Basically I bought this watch to rely on this for calls and messages and this got totally disappointed me.
Any advise on how we can receive text messages?
I have had this problem too. The issue is in phone settings. Go to ADVANCED FEATURES and turn on ALLOW CALLS ON OTHER DEVICES also turn on mobile data in this setting.
