Question Issue Connecting Samsung Health Monitor on Google Pixel 6 Pro - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Hello
This is my first venture on this forum!
I have been following the XDA post about how to install Samsung Health Monitor on a Samsung Watch 5 and get it working on my Google Pixel 6 Pro. So far I managed to install the modified app on my phone, and also get the modified app on my watch but when I go into the ECG or Blood Pressure Monitor on my watch and try to connect to my phone I get a pop up on the phone that asks me to confirm my google account, and then when I select the account I get a message saying 'Document Lookup Failed'
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
Many thanks in advance!

I have a pixel watch, and am very interested in anything health related on modern technology
I'd recommend asking in the general q&a subforum though. I hope you get it working
Have you also installed health connect? You should check it out
Have a great day

Best Sony Smartwatch2 [SW2] Apps&Games

NOTE: This thread isn't updated by me anymore as I had to sell my SmartWatch 2. Check the latest replies to the thread for new apps, though. Keep 'em coming!
Good day fellow XDAians!
I recently bought my very own Smartwatch 2 and I had no idea where to start looking for applications. The built-in search function of Sony's Smartwatch2 app redirects to the Play Store with a certain search query but it not always shows all apps that belong to the category you've selected. So I decided to make a thread dedicated for only the best Apps&Games for the Sony Smartwatch 2!
If you know a great app or game, please let me know. I'll try to include most useful apps in this post. For each category, the free apps and games are listed before the paid ones. Let's get started.
First off, the application that is required for the SW2 to connect with your phone:
> SmartWatch 2 SW2 by Sony Mobile Communications
Secondly, with the new firmware where we can change wallpapers and create our own watchface, Sony decided to add an Easter Egg to the calculator. Have you ever wondered what 1035 equals?
> 1035 = Free Snake Game
(in case it wasn't clear yet, if you type "1035" in the calculator on your smartwatch and then press "=", you'll find the new game on your SmartWatch)
Notifications

Smartphone apps with added support for the Smartwatch 2

That definitely looks like an interesting app!
Now I just wish I had a way to pay for it *come on Google, introduce me to your Play Gift cards here as well*
I will however included it in my list, as it seems original enough. Does it let users accurately reply whatsapp messages to incoming ones, and does it work in group chats as well? I just wish there was a way to have full whatsapp on your wrist, including all contacts and previous messages.
Does it actually show your message after replying in a 'conversation kind of way', including previous messages? If not, could that be an improvement to save previous messages as well? :angel:
Ha! Great thought..
It does accurately reply to whatsapp individuals and groups and sms as well..
I am working on full whatsapp conversations.. But even if I succeed in it.. I ll be a standalone app with no notifications stuff.. Because SW2 api limitations have binded me to cut short a few things...
Love your collection btw.. Keep it up! Cheers mate!

both will work, difference only is that limited apps to use in lite version
I just found a great widget for the Remote Widget SmartWatch extension.
Try putting Sony's TrackID widget on the watch. Clicking it will result in a music search even with the phone's display off!
It's a perfect example of what this app is capable of!
*More ideas may follow in this post*
If you have any other perfect examples, be sure to share them here so I can include them in the list
okay, in the light flow app, the notification is only showing amount of unread notifications, like in gmail, it shows 1 unread, total 1, instead of showing context

It's a notifications plugin too.
thank you for this gathering
I'm a new SW2 user as well. SmartTasker is another nice app (although not free), nicer interface than the Tasker Smart Extension.

It's great, I've been using it for some time now, and even works while the bluetooth connection is lost, the notifications are still available then.
Also be sure to hit 1035= in the calculator for a nice game

That game is basically the only game that does not lag, I'm guessing because it's the only one where the smartwatch itself does the calculations?

I haven't tried it yet. Does it work well?
The idea of my post is not to put random apps in there, but apps that are actually one of the better (the app has 3 one star ratings and 3 two star ones, which makes me wonder...).
It looks to work well though, when I read the description. I might update my post with this game :cyclops:
EDIT: on your snake game: I tried it and it was laggy. Laggy in a way that it wasn't playable to me. The "calculator easter egg snake" is much better so I won't put that snake game in the post.
No problem, haven't tried the sudoku or the blocks game yet.. Someone else might have though..

Hello guys!
So I've just got my tab pro 8.4 wifi. Being a previous owner of Nexus devices, the first thing that I'm about to do is delete all the Samsung crap (I do, however, want to keep the rom as it is - rooted with towelroot, KNOX still intact).
However, after searching/reading through this forum, I was unable to find a list of all the apps that can be safely (no reboots, FCs, other issues) deleted or uninstalled (using Titanium Backup). Please share your experience, suggestions, I will try to keep the list updated!

Thanks for the list helped me greatly , I am now rooted and uninstalled most of the 42 apps in the list , fantastic device ...in addition I uninstaled all apps and services that had the word Knox in them
Sent from my SM-T320 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Great list, thanks a lot! Just rooted my TabPro 8.4 just to remove all the bloat ware. Its plain out ridiculous that Samsung puts so much crap on their devices.
Apologize for the thread drift, but why does not tripping the knox/staying stock matter to you folks?
After already having gone through the process of rooting, it's hardly any additional effort to install CM 11, for example, and that takes care of most of this garbage for you.
Because I like to keep my warranty for a while. I was denied warranty on my S4 because of Knox.
Hi. Just got my tab pro 8.4 and while I don't plan to root just yet I would like to disable a bunch of this crap that keeps trying to update and turns on with the Tablet. Was just wondering if you could put a brief explanation next to some of those so I know whether or not it's one I don't plan to use. Thanks. Things like the ant stuff, sidesync, smart card, and Samsung ones. What about ones not listed here like the flipboard and magazine widgets and such. Also, some things have the turn off button grayed out, does that mean I can't disable it until I root? Thx
Hi, I just ordered A10.1 (2019).
I was wondering if I can ADB and delete those listed bloatware?
Also, does this model still get updates for its system?
If yes, until when does it get updaets?
Can you receive updates when bootloader is unlocked or when it's rooted?
Thanks
Didn't notice this is such an old thread.. now I wonder if the list of bloatware is outdated!?

[APP] Yalp Store - Install all your AndroidTV app on the FireTv painless

¡¡IMPORTANT!! -I'm not the developer of this app, or affiliated with the devs. Just want to share my experience
Hi everyone,
One of my biggest problem with the fire tv stick was to find the apks of the android tv version of an app, which usually isn't the same apk that you have installed on your phone (and are impossible to find ). I found this app called YalpStore that basically lets you download apps from the play store as an android tv device and doesn't require Google play services.
How to use:
-Download the app from xda labs and sideload it on your fire tv
-Open the app, click on the menu button on your remote and select "search"
-if asked, select "log in without google account"(experimental)
-to navigate inside the app, you may need the "mouse toggle" app to emulate a mouse pointer (or a Bluetooth mouse)
Install the apps and enjoy
Link from xda labs:
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstore
Hope it is useful
I just found this app too. Using my google account I was able to download apps that I have paid for and directly load the and install the app. There is a tutorial https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/comments/7il7qx/tutorial_how_to_download_any_android_tv_game/ You can download the Yalp app https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.github.yeriomin.yalpstorehttp://
I don't believe you need to be rooted to use this Yalp.
Within Yalp are some options to blacklist andn whitelest apps but I have not experimented to see if that has any validity on my Firstick 1, x5.2.6.0, rooted.
nice
Search bug in android kitkat
Hi, thanks for this so useful app,
But the search return always nothing,
Although the apps appears in the categories menu, but the search doesn't work at all...
Perhaps only on kitkat ? I have a Samung S4 android kitkat
Hope you will fix it soon :good:

Seems like developer just abandoned this project. And based on commit history He's missing himself since October 2018.
I'd recommend Yalp's fork - AuroraStore. Though didn't use it myself, it's at least have active commits...

What apps are you looking forward to on your Galaxy Watch?

I can not wait for a working Philips Hue app. I am checking the Gear store every few days. A few have been added since but there are either issues with it working on and off or the Widget not working. I need the widget!
Also, a Samsung Multiroom speaker update for Tizen 4! I searched this up before getting the Galaxy Watch and it looks like there is one for Tizen 3 but nothing for Tizen 4 yet.... Boo
What are you waiting for?
Yeah, it's frustrating to see so many apps available for WearOS that are not available on Tizen. I have the LTE enabled Galaxy Watch and would love to be able to leave my phone behind at home sometimes and still have access to the functionality of my favorite apps. Hoping these app developers start getting us some content on Tizen! Here's my wish list: Alert360, Amazon Music, Uber, Lyft, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, Skype for Business, Google Maps.

I thought I knew what I was getting in to when I bought the watch but with many devs not updating their apps, the app list for the Galaxy watch is less than the already sparse Gear S3!
The Spotify app is pretty good so my local music needs are fulfilled but apps like Skype, SfB and Uber would be an excellent addition to the watch.
WhatsApp, I can do with the replying to notifcations. I don't need to look through previous convos.
Google Maps, I paid £1 for a companion app. Works really well for turn by turn navigation. It dosn't give you the birds eye view but it guides very very well and hasn't failed me yet. Start a journey on Google Maps (On your phone) and it will auto start the compantion app on the watch. Its called "Gear Navigation". Free app for watch but paid app app on Google Play.
Having Uber on my wrist.. Might make it too easy!
I think there is an Uber app for Tizen now
Having just transferred from gear s3 to Galaxy watch, ALL my apps (and they are a lot) that were bought for the gear (tizen3) now work for Galaxy watch (tizen4). There is a Phillips hue app in the store and an Uber app too also for Galaxy watch. You may need to change your country store to USA to see them all (there is a topic for this under the gear forum). The Uber app only though works only with a Samsung phone.
I would like to get a podcast app.
Spotify don't have podcasts on the watch app.. Why, just why?..
Audible would be another app, then I can leave my phone @ home.
I believe Tizen has a bigger market share than WearOS now, surely developers will notice?
I talked with customer service at Audible.
They have an app for the apple watch.
I sugested that they make an app for the Galaxy watch too.
They thanked me and forwarded the request.
If there are more Audible customers here, it will probably help if you did the same.

Personally, I just want an app that stores notification history so that I can access old messages. There is 1 old app called NWS that does this but it drains the watch battery like MAD (5% per hour just from this app).
I am getting so frustrated by the lack of this simple feature that I will either make the app myself or return the watch.

Hi, please see below, this is one of the several threads on the subject, basically you need a vpn app on your phone to produce a US IP address and the Sim card removed:

Google fit on Tizen 4.0+

Dear Amazing Tizen Developers,
I have had a quick look on here and am very enthused to see projects for porting google propriatary apps onto the samsung galaxy watches. (For example the google assistant app project)
I have a samsung galaxy watch active and I would like to see google fit reading the sensor data from my watch.
My android phone has both google fit and samsung health installed, however google fit integrates with a large number of apps, whereas samsung health barely integrates with anything.
Therefore I would like data to be taken directly from my watch to google fit.
I cannot sync data from samsung health to google fit as the data is recorded as 'not originating from google fit' and therefore cannot be used by the integrated apps.
I do not require google fit to run fully on the watch, only for the API to be sent the watch steps (and preferably heart rate) sensor data.
Have any of you attempted a project of this nature? Would anybody be willing to give it a go?
I am very happy to test and promote heavily when complete as there are many people like me who need google fit data for reward based apps.
Thank you very much in advance,
Anya
Hey! Great idea. I wondered the same about Google Fit and searched around. I came across this app called Health Sync. I just installed today and trying it out.
The app is in the Google play store.
"Sync between Samsung Health, Google Fit, Fibit, Polar, Garmin, Health Mate
Sync your health data between Google Fit and Samsung Health, or with Fitbit, Garmin, Withings (Health Mate) or Polar. Every 10 minutes or just a few times per day, you choose how often."

Firstly, thank you so much for replying and for giving this some thought. Unfortunately, HealthSync what what i was alluding to when I said we cannot sync data from samsung health across to google fit. This is because the data is marked as 'not originating from google fit'. Interestingly, this is exactly the same as other apps that send data to google fit, the data comes in with this mark and therefore cannot be used by apps that take data directly from google fit. (My example is the Vitality Insurance app, there's also a post on here which mentions the pokemon go app which does the same thing)
I don't know why they have this restriction, it's certainly very annoying because the HealthSync app is great and very reasonably priced.
Therefore we need something that hooks directly into the google fit API and sends the sensor data from the wearable directly into google fit, the app on the phone should then detect it as google fit activity data and allow it to be stored and transferred to other apps.
Looks like we really are looking at a development project.
Thanks for your interest anyway, hopefully we can find a resolution for this.

If you want google fit support on reading data from galaxy watch, I think you should write the letter to google fit team for the support.

First place I went. The big companies - Google, Samsung - don't care. That's why I reached out to the developer community in the hope that someone else would find this need as well and who would have the knowledge and experience to have a go at solving it. I'm a developer myself, I'd love to work on this. But I only have experience in desktop development so would need a lot of help from someone experienced in mobile and wearables.
Any updates on this idea? Did anyone work on this?

Nobody got back to me on it. I've not had any success with any route so far. It's definitely a challenging development project.
I know people would be happy to pay for the feature though if someone was willing to try it.
Try the Health Sync app again. There might have been updates which should work for you.
I use this app to send my Galaxy Watch workouts/steps to Google Fit, which in turn is picked up (from Google Fit) to a few other services (e.g. Oura Ring). I don't see the indicator suggesting the info did not start at Google Fit.
I've only used this app for 3 months but it's been exactly what I need. Hopefully, this will work w/ your Insurance app.

Thanks for the thought, I installed it and tried it again for a week, several days running I did more than the necessary number of steps to be picked up by my insurance app, and healthsync transferred them to google fit.
But as before, they did not come through into the insuarance app.
So healthsync has not had sufficient updates to make this work yet
Still looking for ways to get samsung watch to directly send steps information to google fit API.
Did you try emailing health sync developer to see if they would consider syncing with your insurance app? They do a few 3rd party syncing. Probably not a big market for your insurance app but maybe not that hard for them.
