Recently, I took my lte watch 4 classic to a trip where I left my phone in charging at hotel, I was able to get calls and messages but no other notifications showed up during the watch lte period, the older tizen watches with Samsung sync were working great, I was a little bummed and was researching about Cloud Sync from Google, many reported that it was working fine until, I read a comment back from 2016/17 where they said they had the issue solved, funny enough I tried it out, The comment said, to make Google cloud sync work, we have to delete the data from Google play services, I deleted it and was greeted with watch not connecting to phone, so I had to reset the watch and connect it back again, once done, I left the watch on charger for a good 1 hour connect with phone via Bluetooth, so that background apps maybe updated, once done, I took the watch out to a stroll and now I could see the cloud sync icon in watch panel and whatspp/telegram messages were coming through along with notifications, we can also reply to the messages from cloud platforms, do follow the above steps if you have a lte watch and cloud sync isn't working, be sure to backup data before resetting, also Bluetooth watches work with call and text on other devices via Samsung so that had no problem when connect with wifi when not with phone, that also had cloud sync but worked fine with wifi network. Let me know if this helped.
Thank goodness for this post. Another page was saying I would have needed to factory reset my whole phone, which would have been a royal pain. Also, nowadays, in the spot where "clear data" would be for Play Services, there's a Manage button (at least on my Galaxy S22+) that lets you clear only the data related to Wearable, so yes, I needed to reset my watch but now Remote Connection is working again!
Good to know! Kudos
I have the same issue. Use a S22ultra. Have GW5 Pro with LTE (tmobile)
Is there any particular sequence in which we need to clear storage on phone and reset watch?
Also do I need to remove the watch data plan also?
Thanks
@StarLordPK @galaxys @askop Any suggestions? I cannot seem to get the cloud Sync (remote connection) working inspite of clearing GooglePlay storage and watch reset.
Any particular sequence to try? Thanks in advance.

Hi, you need to clear play services storage instead of play store, I attached a screenshot on what to clear, also be mindful that once you clear the play services storage watch won't connect and work with phone, you'll have to reset the watch and connect it again to phone. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes please remove data plan before clearing out play services, although you can reset the watch with data plan intact, would recommend removing the data plan and adding it after reconnection.

Hi. I'm having the same issue, but it's NOT and LTE galaxy watch pro phone --- wifi only. It looks like Cloud Sync is enabled on both phone and watch, and I'm signed into my Samsung Account. What happens is if I leave my phone on its charger one one side of the house, I can't make calls and I don't get notifications when I'm out of bluetooth range but I am within my home wifi network.

My Bluetooth is completely unreliable after the last update. Volume is too soft. Doesn't connect to devices. I've tried unpairing and repairing and it stays connected for a short time, then when I try and connect again it doesn't connect.
Even the streaming is shaky.
Any solutions?
Check to see how much storage space you have left.
Part of your symptoms could be explained by low storage space.
But it sounds to me like you need to back up your data and apps and then do a factory reset.
I did a Network Settings Reset (under Backup and Reset) and lost all my wifi passwords. None of my networks are connecting automatically anymore. I'm horrified that I might have lost 5 years of accumulated wifi passwords!

No and my phone is not rooted, but doesn't Google back up these Settings? Every time I set up a new phone, it downloads all my previous WiFi codes.

Only way I know of to get that info is to perform factory reset.
google restore sometimes includes keys sometimes not for me.
The android play store is completely broken for me. It's been doing this for the last two weeks. Never had an issue before. I rarely post on XDA anymore because I never have problems with my phone and I'm tech savvy enough to troubleshoot my own stuff but I need help with this. The play store will only download apps and updates via wifi. After troubleshooting the app sometimes I can get it to work but most of the time it will be stuck at 99%, 49%, 36% downloaded or will just say "waiting for download" . I want to be able to use it without having to use wifi. I'm pretty sure it's a bug.
My play store settings:
App download preference: Over any network
Auto update apps: Dont auto update
Troubleshooting steps I took
1. Force close, clear cache
2. Force close, clear data
3. The above + restarting
4. Clear cache of play services and restart
5. Clear cache of download manager and restart
6. Full factory reset of my phone
7. Restarting mobile data, turning off/on wifi/Bluetooth
After the full restart I started to believe that an update somewhere broke the play store. I'm fully stock non rooted on Verizon. Every other app works just fine if it needs to use mobile data. I'm really frustrated and would like some assistance with this.
What email account is your playstore showing it is using? Is it a fully legitimate Gmail account? Or is it an email account that is a student account? Maybe business related?
And have you disabled any apps?
Possible fix...
I've been having the same issue on my rooted S8 since about a week after I bought it two years ago. I could never download new apps or do updates over the air. Now, I just in the last week bought a Note 10+ 5G and set it up with the second of the two Gmail accounts I have. I'm still using the same SIM card I've had for over a year. The Gmail account having issues with OTA updates is over 25 years old now, the newer one's about five years old. Now, as much as I'd like it to be the Note's not rooted, and if I'm logged into the newer Google account it's quite happily grabbing Play Store app. updates over the air.
You beauty!, you say. "Fixed it you have", would say Master Yoda.
Um, no.
If I switch back to the older Google account I instantly lose the ability to download anything over the air. Grabbing stuff while the device is connected to the internet via a wi-fi hotspot works like a charm, but I've tried every solution offered to me by Google technicians and Android experts alike and STILL can't get it download and install an app. when I'm anywhere other than hooked up to my home router. Go figure!
So yeh, just letting you know you're not the only one.
EDIT: Just had a play around (pardon the pun) with -> Settings -> Google Settings -> Google Account
Try this out and see how you go.
1. After you land in Google Settings, make sure the Google account you're having OTA dramas with is showing.
2. Tap on 'Data and Messaging'.
3. Tap on 'Data Management'.
4. Tap on 'Update Drive-enabled app. files'.
5. Tap on 'Over Wi-Fi or mobile data'
Back-arrow your way out, check that your handset is NOT connected to the internet via wi-fi, then go to Play Store, check for updates and they should download without issues over your mobile service provider's network connection. Please note that your mobile data allowance will be used, but you should also be able to wander the streets and grab new apps without needing to connect to a wi-fi hotspot.
Yippee! Oh, and don't applaud...
just throw money.
I cannot update or download apps in play store on my unlocked S20+ when connected to only data (I have TMobile) regardless of signal strength or 5G or LTE. Works fine on wifi but if I shut wifi off it just hangs on "pending" anytime I try to download any app at all. I've tried clearing cache, data, uninstall play store updates, cleared network settings, got a new sim card from T-Mobile and tonight I even factory reset my phone and it STILL doesn't work!!
I'm totally stumped. I've been with T-Mobile for just over a month now and this issue has been non-stop the past 2-3 weeks. Before TMobile I was on Verizon with this phone and never once had this issue!
Any ideas?
Check your Playstore settings.

Try switching SIM slots as a test
Check Access Point Names configuration.
Replace sim card; handle it like a ram stick!!!
Out of circuit they are susceptible to ESD damage. "Techs" normally handle them quit carelessly. Failure can be instant or could take weeks, months, years to manifest itself.

What is "check access point names configuration"? No idea what this means, can you provide instructions on how to do so?
The SIM card was just replaced on Wednesday and no difference was made. I watched the rep install it and they were very careful doing it.
EDIT: I configured my Access Point Name according to this tutorial and it made no difference......all play store downloads STILL hang on pending.....

Try using a wifi connection.
Google apps are a mess...
Just a thought, I know carriers have parental control type security on data networks, you have to opt out to access 'adult' content, wondering if that could be blocking it, if your carrier has an app you may be able to use that, I could with mine in the UK on EE, otherwise you need to purposely visit an adult site and follow the links on the block page / call carrier
I'd probably call T-Mobile anyway, sounds like they are the issue considering you already factory reset the phone
This is wild, but today it started working fine on its own out of NOWHERE. I am clueless. I changed nothing. And I am fully expecting it to randomly stop working again at some point.
My Google Assistant suddenly stopped working. Whenever I tried to issue a command, it returns "Cannot reach Google at the moment.".
Tried in my old phone, there are no problems.
Tried restarting but the problem still persists.
Anyone experienced this? Any solution?
HI YOU HAVE MANY WAYS TO FIX THAT
1-TRY FORCE CLOSE GOOGLE ASSISTANCE AND CLEAR ALL DATA AND CACHE .
2-IF YOU ARE USING A DATA PACKAGE ,USE A VPN
IF THOSE METHODS DON'T WORK UNINSTALL APP AND REINSTALL IT

Tried, didn't work.
Same here, brand new Pixel 6. Go into Assistant settings, scroll all the way down to "Your Apps (manage how Assistant works with installed apps)." Click on the Chrome browser and make sure "let your assistant choose this browser" is checked on. THEN, in the same settings, go to whatever other browsers you have installed and UNCHECK those.
Apparently Assistant got confused by too many options. (it might work if you check another browser and uncheck Chrome, but I quit playing with it once it was working again.)

Tried uninstalling, rebooting and re-updating the Google app. The Assistant is working again but Continued Conversations doesn't work. There were also times after I did this, the problem returned.
I had the same problem yesterday and fixed it by doing the following:
Google app->settings->Google Assistant->Assistant Voice-> and switch Phone to full.
I also purchased universal safetynet fix 2.2 and now pass Safetynet. Did both in conjunction with each other so that combo should work if you are rooted with the correct Magisk Canary.

ok i forgot to off capital letteres
I have struggled with this recently. Here's what worked for me. I noticed that on cellular it worked, but on my WiFi it did not although it had in the past. The trick was to go into WiFi settings and tell it not to randomly change the Mac address (use Device MAC). I suppose that -- maybe only with some routers -- the changing MAC is upsetting the NAT translation and your phone is making an outbound connection but that's just a theory.
I had the same problem, had used adaway and blocked some dns requests, cleared these and Hey Google worked again. Cheers.
Usually, the only times I have trouble with the Assistant this way are when I get in my car, hook it up for Android Auto, and in my driveway, I'm kinda in range of my Wi-Fi but not very well. It doesn't usually take very long for my phone to switch to mobile data on its own in this situation (and it took my Samsung way longer), but once it establishes a reliable connection via mobile data, then it's fine.
Necro'd thread to post POSSIBLE FIX:
Go into Developer options and disable 'App Wi-Fi Multi/Broadcasting Filter'. I'd turned it on randomly and forgotten, and have been suffering ever since. Turning it back off allows the app to connect to the internet, despite your phone being locked until standby.
Going off to cross-post this elsewhere because I've searched SO many pages trying to find a fix, and nobody mentioned trying this.
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.

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
