Hi all
I am about to get the Galaxy Watch 4 in China (I work there now) and I think the Playstore won't be installed by default. I Googled and found that the apk for the Playstore for WearOS can be download. But I haven't found how to install it. It is my first WearOS since before I was using Tizen.
Can anyone help me and explain how to install the Playstore on WearOS please?
No idea what you exactly found... because I was not able to backup Playstore from GW4...
I have only found Samsung Apps inside GW4 Firmware...
I read about Restriction in China...
Maybe we could work together...
Maybe Samsung Apps offer better overview as Playstore...
Later more...
I have to sort my stuff...
Btw.
Can somebody from China with GW 4 post CSC and Firmware Details please?
I have no luck to find something with SM-R860 and CHC... maybe in China other Device Model Name...
All I know about Firmware and Regions yet is here:

Looks like it could be harder since Tizen... A Stock Firmware for netOdin/Odin not available yet... B Combination Firmware not available yet C FOTA Delta File for study I have...

Well the APK i found was that one : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...oogle-play-store-android-wear-7-5-08-release/
In mainland China the GW4 will be available by September 10th, i have yet had the chance to put my hands on it
Have you guys tried to install an APK on GW4 (or any Wear OS device) using ADB minimal Fastboot?
Please check GW4 Sub Forum on XDA:

Hey thanks for he share I found a topic about ADB
Hello, did you have any luck installing the play store? I'm having the same issue here, with the CHC version there are only a few apps can be downloaded from the galaxy store and it has very limited google services, many app's mobile to wear connection does not work. It would be great if full gms and play store can be installed, or maybe there are any method to flash global rom etc? Thanks!
hi. any update on this?
Hi, guys. Same issue: I get the play market installed on my CHC version of gw4, the icon in apps appears, but doesn't launch. I mean it launches and rapidly shuts down. Any solution of how to globalize gw4 CHC?
I got the extracter Play Store from an International version. But same issue - gets installed, doesn't launch
Sausung watch 4 classic lte. CHC version. Same issue: gets installed, doesn't launch
Donwload apk from apkmirror website. It's a .apk file of the version of 28.0.3 and installed by adb.exe from PC.
I am thinking the right way would be be installing the bundle version with .apkm. But I am stucking by how to install apkm bundle to wear os. There is an app on phone for apkm but nothing for the watch apkm.
Does anyone have a clue?

Still wrong sub forum.

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.
Credit : GIK-Team
Source : amazfitwatchfaces.com
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

Tried UK, China, Hong Kong (China)
All failed for me
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.
Cheers
Hi, there. First my questions is about Galaxy Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces. Do you know anybody how to get these watch faces from Watch 3 to Active 2? Is any chance to get it with upcoming Tizen 5.5 software update for Active 2? For example (see added picture) i need this one, maybe someone know how to get it? I have Active 2 BT version with stock rom OS, and i will not prepare to flash other OS. I care my warranty which i have. I am talking about simple watch face file (can someone say exactly how named Tizen files .tnz or how???) installing to Active 2 if is any chance at all? I'm rookie about Tizen OS, so if someone can explain please write here. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Samsung Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces until now (i have Active 2 Tizen 4.0.0.7 OS) is not available in Samsung Store, but maybe who have Tizen 5.5 can download in Samsung Store? I checking it almost everyday or in a week several times. So about checking Samsung Store i know
Second question about Tizen OS update 5.5 for Active 2. I tried to check in youtube about this update for Active 2 (original, not fake update). But i found just one video. Which by the way is not so good as i thought (too less information about it, is showed just new some features, too short video). I know that this update is released nly for German users in Europe, but maybe someone can to tell or to do video what's changed after update in Active 2 (i mean not only features which already Samsung wrote in theirs web site, i don't need this information. I know about Vox2 while you running and etc., i mean is any others new stuff in Active 2 after update like new watch faces, ECG which was promised (some people writing is, some writing is not) and etc. All details is interesting). Thanks in advance again
Any comments about these things is welcome and the best write people which have Active 2 and got this update. Becouse rumors is full internet and i read it all them. So thanks, folks which will help me to know more
For R820 I successfully change csc to XAR USA.
Before pairing took out sim and used VPN
After pairing VO2max and Advanced running still hidden, do have Samsung pay and ECG however.
To pair have to allow location services and this I believe is how these features are hidden if not available in another region.
Anyone know how to overcome this during pairing would be greatful to have them available to me
V02max & advanced running analysis only came out after your continuous running 20 mins and above. (if im not mistaken)

I believe oxygen is actually a widget that is not activated in certain regions and is part of SHM

Vo2max not same as Spo2, vo2max no widget but Spo2 have it.
So far galaxy watch 3 most region have that widget but not to R820 (gwa2), maybe you can refer this post > https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/samsung-galaxy-watch-3/spo2-tpk-t4170889
We believe maybe the gwa2 firmware have blocked it someway
and spo2 which is under SH (in GWA3) but not SHM. SHM only have BP+ECG
Thanks for that clarification very useful indeed very aggravating I will try the advanced running and see if it activates much appreciated
As the title said I have a galaxy watch 46mm. IT hasR800xxu1dsl1 software with 4.0.0.7 tizen.
Are there any guides on how to make galaxy pay work on this one?
Found some tutorials but don't really know what firmware I need to use, or how to use via netOdin, so I would appreciate a little guide on how to change the firmware, and what firmware to use on my watch to make it work with galaxy pay.
Thanks all!
From what I read I need only the csc file for usa to allow me install samsung pay, but can't find it anywhere...
Update: Switched firmware to R800xxu1dtg1 still samsung pay is not working
Updated to this
When installing samsung pay apk watch plugin
With this version is the same
Actually, it is not because of Samsung rather then your bank credit card issuer.
So, you CAN NOT use SamsungPay because your country (Romania if I am correct) is not on the Samsung billing list of supported countries.
There are only very limited countries supported by SamsungPay...Even if you change CSC code, it will not work because your credit cards issued in your country are not recognized inside app. I tried here in Croatia myself, changing multiple CSC codes, but no success ,therefore, we need to wait from Samsung and our Banks to add our countries on their credit card billing supporting list.
So far, actual full country list with supported SamsungPay countries until now is here
https://www.samsung.com/ch/samsung-pay/support_en/
I also went through all this process and ended up succesfuly. I also live in Croatia where SPay is not officially supported nor we have supported bank cards.
Since I'm using Curve card (UK card) I had to switch my watch to BTU (UK) CSC. I said "I had" because Curve has limited SPay only to UK region**. This was long time ago and I can't help much because process was quite complex and I don't want to mess somebody's watch. I managed to downgrade GW46 to tizen 4.0 and change CSC, and then update it to newer BTU firmware.
I saved links I used so here they are, hope they help:

Since I have changed CSC, I also got SPay option in Wear app (right next to Bixby option) so I could proceed with adding a card to my watch
** I think later Curve has enabled SPay for other regions where SPay is supported because I managed to add this UK card to my canadian Note 9 (XAC). Teoretically, you could use other CSCs on your watch in order to add Curve card - NOT tested, cannot confirm 100%!
You have to have CARD supported by SPay + CSC REGION where SPay is officialy supported. If any of these two parameters are missing, process will fail. No need for VPNs, location spoofing etc.
Hello all! I've looked around and couldn't find a answer. Im looking to find out how I can add new watch faces on a live demo unit. I don't want to root and flash a room, but looking for like the location where faces are stored. The galaxy wear app doesn't let me download or install new faces. Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone help!?
You have already given your answer!
My wife has a active 2 watch she bought from Costco. When I try to connect my watch to her phone adder downloading new watch faces, it tries to hard reset. Is there a folder that's they download to? Maybe I can copy her folder and move it to my phone.?
sdb install blablanameofWatchfaceblabla.wgt.or.tpk
With Tool SDB...
This is 1 way to install without "magicOrModification"...
IMHO you forgot you need files to install...
A
You can make your own WatchFaces...
B
Your Wife hack... her Phone and/or Watch.
To copy WF for you...
C
Few files inside Internet...
I am NOT joking...
I know what LDU is...
If you need some exercise... you could try the BP ECG LDU DEMO Version:
Galaxy Watch Features - ECG / BP
I feel that the features ecg and blood pressure are a big scam .. because we are waiting them since few months ago and we didn't see or read any anoucement a release date for those features from samsung
