When on wifi,and I resync apps I get this message on the face "Get Google play services.Android wear wont run without Google play services,which are missing from your phone.
Then I have the option, if I swipe left,to open on phone,then ot wont open to anything..... I have Google play services,and the lates version,and the watch operates fine,accept I never get Google now cards on the watch. Ive factory reset it several times for other issues,and each time I get this message until the watch syncs with the phone,then ot goes away.
Im in Thailand and wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Exactly the same happened to me in Germany. So no, it's not specific to Thailand.

I've seen this a few times. I believe I swiped right to get rid of it. Nothing else happened on the watch or on my phone. It seemed to be a temporary issue, as far as I could tell.
No googleplay services

Exactly,I just swipe right then it's gone, until either I restart the watch or resync the apps,then it comes on again. IDK.......
It seems like this may be an issue with the newest update for Android Wear. I have been holding off on installing the newest update because there have been a lot of complaints in the play store about this type of issue. Hopefully, Google fixes this in the next AW update.

Install the latest version for your phone. This solved the issue for me

Check the version on the end first within your applications under settings. Ex. Mine ends with -240

I bought the watch off amazon, not sure,but I think the watch came from China directly,or Korea. It got here in less than 5 days with standard shipping,so I'm pretty sure it did not come from the US.
I'm in Bangkok.
However the no Google services error has stopped showing up on the watch, and the watch operates perfectly now.

Oh nice, did you get charged anything at customs? I purchased mine in Bangkok directly and just wondering if I should return it and buy through amazon if it turns out cheaper.

Funnily enough I had the same issue when I got mine, went away on its own. It was updating the watch in the background I think.
I am planning to buy a new phone, pocophone f1 is an option, but I don't know if the galaxy watch will work properly with it. Any one has experience with pairing it to pocophone or other non Samsung phones? Thanks.
Mine is paired to an Honor 8 Pro. It paired right out of the box with no problems. Works much better than my old Moto 360 2nd Gen. I don't have Samsung Pay but I don't care about that.

I used my former S3 with a former Honor 8 and had no problem with notifications or downloading apps from Galaxy store. I wouldn't expect problems with the Galaxy.
Has anyone had their watch receive calls and your phone never rings and then when you turn your watch off phone calls go right to voicemail?

If phone is not rooted, bootloader locked, and so play store device status is certified :
You can download and install galaxy gear app, from which you'll be able to pair and manage the galaxy watch.
It's what i done on my oneplus 5 : unrooted, re-locked. Everything works. As a non samsung phone owner, the only things that do not are :
- samsung pay
- integrated tizen email app
Or you can download the apk from apkmirror and use it with root. That's what I'm doing now. Samsung pay may or may not work, I don't use it so I don't know.
You need Samsung accessory service, the galaxy gear plugin and the galaxy wearble app. Mine works flawlessly with a custom ROM with xposed, rooted.

Can you download them without rooting, or must I root the phone?
You can do it without root but you need to enable the install from unknown sources option
they have a modded Samsung store to stop that root check they have magisk mods to hide root
I can confirm that this works on non-samsung devices. I get everything pushed to my watch from my phone as long as I have the notification for the app enabled at the time. The only issues I see with the Samsung Pay is if you don't have the app installed on your phone due to the fact that it uses NFC to make the transaction now so as long as your phone supports NFC you can use Samsung Pay as well. If not then you can use the ported version of Google Pay, but I wouldn't personally recommended due to the fact that it is ran by a third-party developer. As for root, I have not seen an issue or been lock out of anything in the watch due to being rooted so I can't confirm nor deny if it is fully root functional.
Rooted pixel 2 xl and everything works as it should.
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!

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...
Got the watch to replace my LG watch sport. Love wear os, hate all hardware it comes in. I honestly don't really like tizen but I literally cannot find any other watch that will last more than 10 hours and has Lte, so galaxy watch it is.
One of the biggest problems so far is streaming. I don't get it. Wear os has all sorts of options for this, google play music, pandora, last fm... I was doing great with pandora premium and youtube premium (with google play music included). But now that im on the galaxy watch they're doesn't seem to be a way to stream without the phone nearby. No pandora app at all, obviously no Google play music app since Google is a bratty teenager these days, the only 2 things that seem to be available are tidal (lol not on a million years) and spotify.
So I download the spotify app for the watch... Wait no I didn't, it doesn't exist on the store despite multiple advertisements I watched making a point of it. Looking into the forums turns out Samsung has since hidden the spotify app god knows why. So after a few days of complaining online I find a direct link to the galaxy store spotify page. Great! Now I installed it. And open it up... Can't connect to phone, please open spotify app on phone... It says this as I'm staring at my phone automatically open spotify... Ok, close the watch app, open it again now that the app is already open on the phone. Can't connect to phone please open the spotify app... Weird, manage to dismiss the warning. I'm presented with 3 options, steam on wifi, stream on lte, and remote. Knowing the first two require spotify premium I try the last option. Nothing, literally nothing, it's like the button isn't even there, no haptic feedback, no warnings, nothing.
Ok, remote isn't why I wanted a watch anyway, my end goal is to run with JUST my watch. So since I'm financially well enough I decide to get premium to use the other options. So I upgraded to premium spotify, made sure it was premium on the phone by playing specific songs, and im good to go right? Wrong! Even though I reinstalled the watch spotify app, remote doesn't change its behavior. So I try wifi, it asks for user and password. I painfully enter it with the flip phone style keyboard aaaaand? Failed to log in, try multiple times very carefully to no avail. Same story on lte button. At this point I'm so mad streaming music is the main reason I want an lte compatible watch!
So... Am I doing something wrong? Is spotify to blame? Or samsung? Still have a few weeks before my return window expires, any help or info would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on a note 9 for the phone
My spotify is through a Facebook account
I have cell service on the watch from tmo
You need to use the Spotify ID to connect, not the Facebook login, it wasn't working for me. Just go to Spotify settings on a browser and set up a device password to make it work.
Today, Spotify has been upgraded to the watch (not a little trouble). For the time being, it looks like all the functions are working again. Check out the Galaxy Store.:good:
Seems to be working only on Samsung phones though. I don't see the Spotify app in the Galaxy store (Belgium / Pixel 3 XL). Just got the watch yesterday, loving the hardware, software not so much at this point...

It won't even let me download the app.
Nope, me neither. Seems they don't really support the combination Galaxy Wear + Non Galaxy phone... What a disappointment this is.
It could be a store location or a watch region issue, you could ask samsung support to see why and if it's a store location use a vpn and try to download it or if it's the watch change the region if it's a big deal for you.

How can I change the ragion of my device? I really don't care having it to Italy as it is, I just want to use spotify on it since I have a premium account. Thanks in advance

It's an issue with Samsung and Spotify, I've been talking to Samsung UK and Spotify cares and they advised it's a known issue and they are working to fix it. I'm in the same position as you guys

Yes you can change the region of the watch but you should know that doing so it will only allow Samsung Pay cards of that country and for some it's a must have.
Before you do anything you should check what region you want to add and find the code for it, because the region names are just 3 letter codes and it's hard to know what is going on when selecting the code(there are a lot of them) and you don't want to spend hours guessing to change it to a new one. And before you change the region write down the one your watch came with so you can go back if you need it or want it later down the line.
The first step is to download SDBstarterKidv1.zip from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
Then you follow the steps in here(it says gear sport but it works fine on galaxy watch).
Also when it says "debugging mode on" you need to select it on the watch and restart it so it works.

They didn't give an ETA but when it's fixed they said it will be back on the galaxy app store.
In the meantime you can use the stock music player on the watch to control Spotify from the phone, and also just about any music app on phone.

Yup I know. I’m using this actually but hope the Spotify fix will come shortly. By the way, are you using the watch with a BT headphones? Because some times when I ho running with my AirPods it happens that one pod disconnects itself for awhile and then reconnect automatically. Is it just me?

Has anyone noticed the battery consumption of Spotify on the Galaxy Watch SM-R815F?
I went for a 30 min run today. I played music with Spotify offline. Battery dropped from 93% to 70% during the run. According to the battery monitor Spotify accounted for 17% of those 23% (the rest was screen, S Health and Strava).
17% battery consumption for 30 min of music seems quite high to me? Or is that normal?
I haven't tested the normal music app to compare. I assume bluetooth takes some battery but still.
Hi all, I had just bought a new xiaomi mi 9 phone and I installed galaxy wearble application, galaxy watch plugin and Samsung accessory service, and gave them all permissions, but I can't log in my Samsung account to restore my watch backup or install new faces from store, when trying it gives my a blanc white popup instead of signing in screen, what to do?
Same thing is happening to me on a Pixel 3. Did you manage to fix it at all?

There's more people with the white page issue here:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...ar-app-on-phone-White-screen/m-p/585638#M7720
Same problemm on my S3 & Watch 42 mm + Huawei M10P. I changed the apk and same result. Chinese phones are banned by samsung?
I don't think so, people have the same issue with LG and pixel phones
Same problem here, moto g 6plus + galaxy watch
Can't sing in on app and white window
It appears to be an Android issue since I tested using my work iPhone and there I can login!
Also annoyed as hell bought the watch yesterday when the issue appears to have started also noticed Samsung accessory service was updated 2 days ago..
IMHO in Samsung world... Samsung Android phones have System app for Account crap...
IMHO it is missing on non Samsung Phones...
No idea if possible to install this System app...
Only as idea...

I have the same issue with One Plus 6T. It looks like issue with Android Oreo support. No response from Samsung by when issue will bebresolved.
Any way we can sideload facer and get additional watch faces ?
I made a thread on thursday morning about this. It's been going on for that long
I installed Samsung Account apk . Now when I click on Error Reports I get login page but even after entering credentials it never logins.
Seems like Galaxy Wearable tries to find the linked Samsung account for login.
Here,
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?
Any other way we can sideload Facer or any watch companion to have more watch faces ?
I have the same problem....
I called Samsung customer care as well. They sound as if they don't even know there exists and app called Galaxy Wearable.
Guys good news. After 3 days of fighting with samsung over twitter, email, phone, chat , this issue is resolved.
Please try at your end. I am able to login in my One Plus 6T.
At last, better late than never.
Working at last
Worked this morning, problem solved thanks God.
