Question Z Fold 4 with Watch 4 LTE (TMO) + Watch maker - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

A quick question. Got my ZFOLD last afternoon, and have reset my LTE watch 4 . It connected with the new phone. I then tried to add watch maker on the watch ( using Play -> APPS on your phone) and there is no way to load to the watch the app.. Any idea how to resolve. I have dozens of purchased faces with Watch maker..

Just goto the watch, play store, apps on device, install.
Works fine.

Watch is not there.. The apps on phone are displayed alphabetically on the watch, ending with Spotify.. No Watch maker. I think it is because my watch is on a beta OS version (I am a beta tester)

Odd, search for it in the play store on the watch then.

Problem solved.. The culprit was in restoring a backup from the S20+ phone.. it had a BT 'connection' from the old phone. Had to delete all old BT 'imported' definitions, and reset the phone, and go with a clean pairing, no restore. Watch face showed up on the watch to install..
However - first trial to downloads failed.. timed out because the watch was restoring other apps.. so I had to wait until the BT link was not at 100% utilization. Now I have watch maker on the watch... Phew.. Thanks anyways.

Google Play Services for Wear

I managed to be an idiot and reset my 360 to try and force the new update. Obviously that doesn't work. However, I had Google Play Services 6.1.74 before I reset. I have a presentation at work tomorrow that involves a wear app that I built and due to the mismatched services, my app and the phone aren't talking to each other. Yes I could build with downgraded gps, but I would prefer to just install 6.1.74 on my 360. Do any of you guys know if the watch uses the same apk as phones? If so I'll just install via adb. Otherwise, does anybody have the wear 6.1.74 that I could get?
Maybe this will help, go into the play store on your device, then select settings, scroll down to build version and tap on it. Google play store and services will update if it hasn't already.
Unfortunately you can't open the play store on android wear. That is a great tip though, thanks!
I meant on your phone or device that your watch connects too. For example my moto 360 connects to my galaxy s5 so on my GS5 i open the play store then settings ect.

USA 5.0 Discussion.. Who in The US has got the 5.0.1 update?

So I know there are a few other threads but I could not quite figure out who in the US has actually got the update and it seems most of the ones I see and look are outside the US and the ones saying they have not got it are in the US. Is there confirmation that people in the US are getting the update? I have tried the reset trick uninstalling android wear and moto connect and clearing Bluetooth but I have had no luck and I see others freaking out about it so I thought if we had a more clear answers Who and where they live that got that update? I know some have said on the wear roll outs it seems to not matter the region but it seems to or at least for US and Non US.
I guess the option "Did not get the 5.0.1 update, do not live in the US" was left out?
I guess I should have added it and i tried to delete the thread to add it. I was making a US thread because I had seen others for other areas so I guess I just didn't think to put it. my bad.
I got the update on Thursday during the day. I am in Florida, bought the watch from Best Buy. I did not need to reset the watch to see the update, but I did upgrade the Android Wear app to the latest version.
I live in AZ and am still anxiously awaiting to see the update. I did get the Android Wear update, but nothing for the watch .
I live in the Boston Mass area and i got the update on like Tuesday.
my real passion is to hack this baby up but i was having a b1tch of a time getting my usb interface i built to work.
Los Angeles, CA
got both the same day on thursday. did not even know there were updates as i dont keep up with these forums. i DID come here once I saw the update to see what it was about....
Well maybe they are doing big cities and moving there way in Ugh I wish they would just get to it or I could get this thing to mount via USB I have never had so much trouble with a cord.
New Jersey, update for android wear on Thursday - No update for my watch yet.
I don't think it has anything to do with cities. It's all about your Google account and what position it's in to receive the update. I'm in Pasadena (literally right next to Los Angeles) and i have yet to receive an update. This is without resetting the watch, or doing any other ridiculous tricks just to get it.

Im in Fall River,MA and i am still waiting for the update. I do have the updated Android Wear app. My girls G watch recieved the update yesterday. and i have reset this mother like fifteen times since my girl got hers, lmao
I got it but I had to force it.
Try this, it has worked for 3 other people.
1: Make sure your Google Play Services and Android Wear apps are updated to the latest versions using apkmirror.com (NOT the play store)
2: Remove BT pairing, "Forget device" from within the Wear app, wipe Wear apps data
3: Reset the watch
4: once booted and paired immediately go to settings/update and check for it. Within the first 3 times it should download it.
Again its not completely proven, but I've seen it work 3 times before including myself.

Clear data from Android wear and Moto connect. Uninstall both apps. Reset Moto 360. Install wear and connect. Pair watch. Check update and should get it.
That's what I did. I'm in Orlando, Florida. Have had the update for about 3days

I did it like 40+ times with no luck so I made a usb cord to mount the watch and forced the update via shell side loading

Like I said before, I did all of that. Twice. Didn't get the update. It still requires some luck apparently.

Locus Map Add-On for Gear Watch

Good morning all
Is there anyone in the community who uses the Locus Map add-on on their Samsung watch?
I installed it on my Galaxy Watch, but I have a issue, the add-on can't connect with the Locus app on my S10e....
I already tried to clear cache & data from "Samsung accessories service" app as suggested by the Locus support, but it doesn't solve my problem...
Any advice is welcome...
Cheers
There are two add-ons. One is for the free Locus, second is for the paid one. Do you have the correct version?
Yes, i have the pro version (i bought the one for the smartphone)
It may sound stupid, but have you tried to restart your Watch? I had a similar problem. Locus on my GW was disconnecting after a few minutes. A restart solved it for me.
Yes, i have restarted both device, watch and phone.... and to be sure, I made a factory reset on the watch, uninstalled locus from the phone (after cleared cache & data) and made a fresh install of locus Pro on both devices.... but the issue was not solved...
Edit:
I wrote to the Locus team and they answered that we are two having this issue and that they don't have gear developer recently.... maybe they will remove the gear add-on from the Galaxy Store
Thanks for the update! That's bad news. Locus add-on hasn't been updated for ages... According to your signature, you have a device with Android 10. I'm on Pie, where is pairing working fine - at least for me. Do you have a second device with Pie? Sorry I couldn't help.
thanks for trying!
My other device is a Huawei P30 pro but he's also running under Android Q.
I have an old one, a galaxy S7 under Oreo (if I remember well), but I don't want use it, I have it in my son...
And a galaxy watch can only be pairing with one device.... it means that every time I want use locus on my watch, I should factory reset my watch ...
That's can't be a a long-term solution....
Anyway, thanks again for trying
Hi!
Today, I received an OTA update of the Galaxy Wearable application and it seems that Locus work again on the galaxy watch.
I'll test it soon and give you feedback about....
Edit:
I did two mountain bike trips of 30 and 25km and it worked wonderfully
So, I'll continue to use it ans let you know if something is wrong....

Samsung galaxy watch

Hello,
I bought the galaxy watch yesterday and i noticed the galaxy store does not work.
The watch tells me there is an error and tells me to try again. I tried to reboot and also did software updates but still nothing. I'm using a oneplus 9 pro with the watch. Is this a support problem and are there any fixes ? If there arent any i might return the watch.
I think you conot use galaxy store if you dont have samsung phone.

Not even close to accurate, why would you even think that's the case?
I dont know what causes the issue but it still does not work at all. I can use the galaxy store on my phone trough the galaxy watch app and then send apps to my watch but i can't acces the store on my watch. Also i tought i could pay with this watch but thats not available in the Netherlands wich is also what i got the watch for

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were trying to access the Store on your watch, I thought you were trying on your phone. Regardless, I have an LG phone and my watch seems to connect to the store just fine. Eek, maybe a factory reset is in order. Then once it's done initializing, try the store immediately.

Question Connection lost every day

I use my watch the whole day with my pixel 6 pro with bt and in the evening my app told me that the connection is lost and I have to reset the connection. I have done it and yesterday and complete the wizard. Today in the morning I have start my phone again after sleeping and the watch lost the connection again and I have to do the setup again.
Anyone knows the reason for this?

Several tips:
-- Google Play Services and all of its idiosyncratic behavior(s).
-- Remove yourself from the beta version of Play Services - if you're a tester.
-- Forget the watch under Bluetooth Devices - if listed.
-- Uninstall the Wear OS, restart the phone and reinstall it.
-- Install a previous version of Wear OS.
-- It all else fails - factory reset the watch.
I have written Google.

Please share the response - if any.
I have to test a different smartphone and if it dont work the watch will changed. I will do a wallet pay later because I think thats the reason the watch crashed. I test it and will write google
