Hi all,
Someone manages to install the custom watchfaces on the honor band 5.
1. Create Chinese Huawei ID
2. Download and install Beta version Huawei Health
3. Pair your phone with your Honor Band 5 or Huawei Watch GT
4. Go to "Watch faces", disable Themes service and set phone language to English
5. Once again go to "Watch faces", enable Themes service and upload your custom Watchface (.hwt file)(can be downloaded from the below given source)
Important note: you need to repeat steps 4 and 5 every time you want to upload new watchface. Is place only for one custom watchface, once you upload new one, old one will be replaced.

I've tried Chinese ID, Hong Kong (China) ID, UK ID, all linked to different emails. ... still not Watch Face store on my Health App,
Honor Band 5 Firmware 1.1.0.120
Health App 10.0.2.511
Huawei P20 Pro Global Version & Huawei P30 Pro Global Version
So disappointed
Clear Health App Data & Cache
Uninstall Health App
Logout of Current ID
Login to Country Specific ID
Reboot
Add Back Health App (Health Beta from the forum cannot be installed on my CLT-L29 (P20 Pro) and VOG-L29 (P30 Pro) for some reason.
Health App has 2 screen for confirming Bluetooth Access and Terms and Conditions, nowhere could one select the Service Region nor change the Service Region in the Health App
I've tried the Health App default in Phone, the Health App from Google Play Store and the Health App from Huawei App Gallery
Could Huawei have removed this important feature from the firmware?
This is rather ridiculous because this is one of the key features one would look for in a "smart" watch or a "smart" health band that advertises this capability.
There is one site mentioning to use UK ID, I will get my band in a day or two so I can't confirm it yet. In case you guys manage to do that kindly let me know

I Know post is old but still if you are struggling then let me tell you key is when you install "health" app don't start it 1st switch on Airplain mode and switch of location then start health app it will ask for region select china there..... it will definitely work post that.

I own a galaxy watch 46 mm (not the active or the active 2) and since a couple of weeks I get an annoying message on the screen.
Every once in a while it shows 'Double tap to explore', underneath the text there is a hand with an upward pointing outstretched finger.
I have to push the home and the back buttons a few times before the actual homescreen is shown.
Up to now I haven't found how to disable this.
Some days ago I upgraded to the latest DSL1 version of the firmware but the behaviour remains the same.
I went into settings and disabled as many notifications as I could but I haven't seen something about this message.
Does anybody know what this is and how to disable it?
If you reset your watch and are about to re-link it to your phone, you can enter a menu in which you can activate the double tap. I've activated it once to see what it does. It got deactivated after a hatd reset, so that's what I would suggest.

A hard reset is of course an option, the double-tap to explore must be a feature that was introduced after I bought the watch.
Can this option be found somewhere in the settings?
If possible I like to disable it without resetting, I don't like reinstalling, it is not as bad as it can be with Windows but it still is a reinstallation.

Did some digging, go to Settings, Accessibility*, Advanced Settings, Tap 3 times with two fingers*
* translated from Dutch . The Accessivility option is below the Account option.

Well, I could not wait and did a hard reset.
When starting I did not see the menu you are talking about.
I had a look at the setting you pointed at, it was already off but I still get the double tap notification
Did another hard reset.
At boot time you can go to an accessibility menu, over thee you can find Advanced settings and then the two finger triple tap.
This is something you can find later on in the settings too but it does not enable or disable the 'double tap to explore' notification.
It should be something else,

Do you use watchfacemaker?
I think the notification is one of the many bugs from the watchface manager (great features but it is buggy as hell)
Try to use any of the new watchfaces added by the team exclusively for galaxy users leave them for some seconds and then try to change them again to your desired face.
I saw they announced the gift faces in the notes of the last version. Perhaps they added this promotional intrusion.
For me, it seemed to work.
Good luck!

Well I use watchmaker (package name = slide.WatchFrenzy).
On play I can find WatchMaker Watch Faces and Watch Face -WatchMaker Premium for Android Wear OS.
I think you are talking about the second one, I have the first one.
Anyway I'll try another one of the Samsung watchfaces and see if the problem disappears, I will ask the creator of the app if this message comes from his app,
I include a printscreen from the app I'm using,

Please note that there is Android app and Watch app. I think the error is being caused by the watch app and has got nothing to do with the Android app.
Android app has not updated for a while (so no issues in play store), but Watch app received update a few days ago 5.7.8 (so you have to check Galaxy Store, watch section).
(regarding watch app - be sure you are using new version (https://galaxystore.samsung.com/det...session_id=W_66c489edab40112abcb925da3c25c1ae) not legacy (https://galaxystore.samsung.com/geardetail/slide.watchFrenzy).
Good luck!

So far I did not change watchface or contact the developer.
But I installed the latest version of Galaxy Wear 5.7.9 and the last few days I do not get that reminder anymore.
Wait and see if I have to take action.
Any workaround for NFC working in EU?
We shall rise this question up. Since GT2, we did not get support of NFC outside of China region.
After I playing around the watch with several versions (current/old/beta) of China Huawei Health app, I believe it is a region and firmware lock on non-CN version GT2 Pro.
Basically, the app detect my GT2 Pro is saled in EU, so it provide the firmware update for EU model, even though the hardware inside all models should be the same (all have NFC chip).
The same issue comes with the 301 heart health app, which available for China model, and it allows the watch uses your heart rate data to diagnose premature atrial contraction and sleep apnea, which is a key feature advertised in China for these huawei smart bands and watches.
Again, you might guess, CN GT2 Pro model support this function. And my EU GT2 Pro was locked for this app to recognise.
Since Huawei EU offical state they will not support full NFC functions outside of China.
The only possible workaround is somebody with high skill, that able to flash Chinese firmware into EU model, which might unlock all these NFC cards, alipay, and heart health app functions. If that's still not working, then it will also required to trick the Huawei Health app to believe the EU model as a CN model.
I am not capable of doing these works, but people in this forum might be dig deeper into this topic.

Don't think that will be possible.. Don't understand huawei why they doin these restrictions..
It could be due to the restriction of certain regions, such as the functions of heart health app could be not approved by other country governments, as it is a feature related to human healthcare.
For example, it might require FDA approval to activate this function in USA, just like what Apple watch has done; likewise, the ECG function of apple watch is disabled in China model, because it did not gain the approval by the China government, but people still been allowed to flash US firmware to enable this feature on China model.
I don't have a EU huawei phone, so I am not sure how NFC of huawei phone is like. But I don't understand why NFC is not enabled in non-CN region, simply not make sense.
When you buy a product with its full function limited, Huawei just pissed off its customers, the fault of terrible closed ecosystem.
A small update on heart health app:
I have to install the huawei Health app first to connect my watch to my phone; then install the Heart Health app. Fot CN model, by that time, the second app will automatically connect to your phone-linked watch. But for my situion, what this app said to my watch is: the app does not support current version of this watch. So it is not connecting to my watch.
However, if I using a older beta version of Huawei health app, to connect to my watch; the Heart Health app can actually connected to my watch, but it is not able actually to perform the diagnose, showing error when activated.
So I suspect there are two major problems await resolve.
First, that is a software lock based on newer version of Huawei Health app, which refuse the EU watch to connect to Heart Health app.
Second, the firmware provided to EU model is missing the code for proper heart health function (and of course the rest functions like NFC). So must have Chinese firmware flushed into the watch. And surprisingly, it has multi. language support. What a strange decision.
I own a GT2 not pro, i don't know if anyone is still reading, bear with me if I say something stupid because I'm a complete amateur but I think this could be useful. I think the options are there but hidden. For example two weeks ago I purcheased a watchface i liked with dual timezone but I can't find the option in the menu to set it, some watchface are customizable and I came across another one orribile but that allowed me. I tried to set the timezone and it changed to the one I set on the other face as well. Today I found by chance one that had the alipay logo on it so I decided to experiment and purchased it (you can look it up on the store, it is called "little summer night"). The face doesn't allow you to customise the shortcuts but the alipay one seems to actually work, I don't speak Chinese and the English language in the alipay app is beta so the bare minimum is translated but it seems i was successful in pairing the watch.
Yes, indeed. After successfully access Alipay via certain watchface, now, the only missing part is nfc.

Good (Ciao da Rio Saliceto )
If this is flagged as a double post, apologies, I was in the wrong place last time and can't find my way back there.
I have Lineage running extremely well on an older note 3.
I need Weixin ( the Chinese version- not WeChat international) to make life easier re health check QR codes and Covid. Saves carrying a A4 folder with docs around!
I do not have playstore or Samsung shop so used a 32 bit APK from Tencent - Wechat's developer. Everything goes well until actual login to wexin when their system complains of an emulator. Is Lineage considered and emulator?
I have no idea of the tech behind Whatsapp and Weixin, similarities etc but can Lineage support Whatsapp? Or rather, does it?
I understand no one but myself can actually solve this, just looking for some feedback to give me something to go forward with.
Cheers

I have this tablet and love it, but can't get multiple users to work. On all our other devices we have 5 accounts, 2 adults and 3 children. This way we can manage the kids usage with Google family link. On the mi pad 5 there is no option to add users or switch between them. I've read in some forums that I need to disable miui optimization in Dev settings, but there is no such option in my Dev settings.
Can anyone help?
First you need to go to developer menu obviously, scroll down to the bottom and you'll find "reset to default values". Tap it a couple of time and the option to turn off miui optimization will be available
Thanks. I've turned if MIUI optimization, but there is still no option to add or switch users? Can anyone help? Thanks
Sorry to hijack this thread..
but Im pretty new to MIUI and this optimization option is something I've yet to try. However, I am unable to set-up "Parental controls" also known as "Family link for kids". Similar to the video as below:
I'm not even trying to have multi users. As long as my kid's account is under supervision, the tablet won't function properly (Chrome is affected..) So I have to remove family link AND remove supervision from my group.
Do let me know if you've encountered this or have any ideas to solve. Many thanks!
