s8 Google/Playstore Incompatibility Fixed in S9? - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

As you may know there as many reports for the S8/S8+ (me included) of the Google App causing: 1. Playstore apps to install slowly or not at all. 2. Play havoc on the Google Voice widget. 3. Delaying the execution of manual software update check or PRL upgrade. Is anyone having these issues with the S9/S9+? Hopefully it is fixed.

Hi! I just bought my S9+ today and I can’t even install apps like Twitter, Instagram and PUBG Mobile on it because it says that the device isn’t compatible w the item. Anyone help??? This is my first Samsung device and I’m upset to why this is happening!

Usually that error is due to regional restrictions, not the phone itself
You can definitely install all those apps on an S9+

Problem signing in to samsung account

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?

No, I tried my best, looked in all settings and gave all permissions, the strange thing is that samsung pay and Samsung health can sign in normally but galaxy wearable and galaxy store can't, I hope someone can help.

I can't even get Samsung Pay to show up, even having sideloaded the apk onto my Pixel 3...
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...
Best Regards
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.

Xfinity Mobile SGS9 got stuck on Android 10 OTA :(

A few days ago Xfinity Mobile (or Samsung? I'm unsure) started pushing OTA update G965USQU7DTA5 (One UI 2 upgrade with Android 10).
I successfully updated mine SGS-9 but got stuck on wife's SGS-9 Probably, first attempt of download on this phone was interrupted (my wife went to store, and download was paused 'cause of no WiFi). But after that it's always stopped on 25% and saying "Couldn't download update: Unable to update the software. A network or server error occurred. Try later again". It's a bug in buggy Samsung software updater, I'm 100% positive, but how to fix that stuff without resetting the phone?
Phone is NOT rooted or unlocked; I googled for "offline update" instructions for stock, locked phones but can't find good, clear instructions.
Any suggestions, guys?
P.S. I've never done phone reset on SGS-9, how it works? Is it quick and safe enough? My wife's phone don't have sideloaded and/or pirated apps, everything by original, Google- & Samsung way.
Update: I resolved my issue by updating phone from PC, using Samsung's "Smart Switch" application - everything went smooth and easy.
P.S. Big thanks to this guide: https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-fix-...not-update-to-latest-software-version-1097987
Update 2: My question received no answers, even no attention but I still believe in people (generally)
So, after update to Android 10 on SGS9, my wife found what the new camera app is kinda downgrade: she doesn't likes new video mode full screen chooser (instead of "scroller") and some other small things. By the way, I clearly understood her: for example, on her SGS9 (updated via PC) video has, by default, bigger zoom than mine SGS9! It's kinda ridiculous but I understand, some parts of the software was written by Korean guys
My question is: could you provide some tips how to install stock camera app from the previous firmware (Android 9), without flashing back old firmware (I suspect what Sam-damn-sung and X****&nity will not support Android 9 anymore)?
Thank you!
P.S. I know how the google search works; I know even more - how xda-dev search works too but I can't find exact answer to my question, sorry!

I think it's more no one has xfinity. I was one of the few and first to have xfinity when I got my s8. xfinity is a weird setup compared to most phones. I had to ditch em when they charged me like 3 or 4 times in one month, it took me almost 4 months to get a refund.
With root you might be able to get the old camera working possibly. Or gcam I'm no developer so I wouldnt know the exacts. And I still run my xfinity s8 ???

I got Call and Text from other devices working on Tab S7+ 5G (at least on Tmobile)

I got call and text from other devices working on my Tmobile Tab S7+ 5G. It's super easy. All you need to do is install the apk below because apparently, all we were missing was the app. That's literally all I did.
WARNING: Just be warned as soon as mine connected, it resent a ton of old messages to a bunch of people in my history. They were all previously sent messages and I think it was due to using Pulse as a workaround. When they first sync'd up, the tablet resent them. Once that finished, it's working perfectly.
Enjoy
installed on my s10+, go to enable it, this app just crashes. but it did install and enable on my verizon tab s7+ 5g.
It's already installed on my phone by default. The issue has been with the carrier branded Tab S7 Plus not having access to this feature. Everyone thought it had been locked by the carrier or even Samsung but we're simply lacking the app. I can't help you with the phone but it's now working on the Tab S7 Plus 5G.

aren't you supposed to link it to your cell phone or something from your tablet? otherwise for me this is pointless to me because it just crashes on my S10 Plus.
Thank you so much worked for me on my tab s7 tmobile.
Guessing it would work if samsung default apps wasn't needed. Uhwell.
Yes, you have to use Samsung messages for this to work.
Anyone got the apk for Samsung messages? It does work for me on Message+ but that UI is ugly as hell.

I was able to get this installed and enabled on my verizon note 20 ultra as well as my tab s7+. However the messages and dialer app are missing off the tab s7+ and I cannot find an apk for them. The ones for the phones won't install. Even when sideloading.

I'm not sure why they're missing, aside from VZW being stupid. I have no idea if these will work but it shouldn't hurt anything to try.
I did this to my T-Mobile S7+ as well and messaging works fine. The phone app is in the list of apps but doesn't make or receive calls, although it shows when I have a missed call. I suspect there are other resources that need to be installed?

Any update? I have an unlocked ( originally TMO S7+ - SM T978U) I got the call from other devices ask installed and it appears to be active see attached. It does text.
But when I attempt a call it tries then immediately ends
Any ideas?
So I posted over on the other thread. But I was able to get all of this installed into my now network unlock S7 Plus originally T-Mobile. Everything seems to have worked correctly but when I initiate the phone call it starts the call but then immediately drops it. I remember some similar Behavior back when I was trying to do custom roms on my S7 edge. It had to do with trying to get AT&T to work with Wi-Fi calling and some other issues. But apparently there was some sort of mismatch between the modem and maybe something in the CSC. Has anybody had this experience where the phone calls are immediately dropped but with all else seemingly working?
Update to the previous post -- I got Calls from other device working but only when I am on the same WiFi network (and it would not work on a hotel network, only when I got home to my home Wifi)
Still would love to hear where the SM-T978U1 firmware is that has been mentioned here -- can't see to find it

why not use DIGITS?

It was a basic feature from the tab s6 had on default when tmobile sold it. Digits is an additional $10 with autopay/$15 without autopay monthly feature from tmobile. Samsung disabled calling on purpose with their agreement with carriers so they could charge their monthly charge version

Still won't let me install. Looks like I'm going to have to attempt to flash the unbranded firmware and hope for the best.

Did you get that software installed and also do you have a link for it? Thanks. I have the tmobile s7, if there is a way to unlock it before its done being paid off someone please let me know
I wrote about this in another thread back in either March or April. This works, but there are some quirks:
Your phone and tablet must be on the same network. This may not work in public networks because device discovery is unavailable (so your tablet can't find your phone regardless of being on the same network). And both devices have to be signed into the same Samsung account (not sure why this one is necessary, but if I sign out on either everything stops working).
Also, occasional updates of various apps in the store cause the phone portion of this to stop working. You should get a message when this happens that a default has been changed. Just go back to Settings -> Advanced -> Calls and Text on other devices, and then turn it back on.

Because of the security policy, Samsung Health Monitor App can't be opened on a rooted device. Device has never been rooted.

My Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note10 Plus can't use the Health Monitor App that is connected to my Samsung Galaxy Active 2 watch. It claims my phone is rooted. I have not rooted a phone since my Samsung Galaxy S4. I have however, been downloading / transferring my info from phone to phone whenever I upgrade. Is it possible their is some error related to my old data? Is it possible my phone could have been rooted without my knowledge? I would like to use this app. I am a bit more concerned with my phone returning an it is rooted error. Anyone have any advice on this? I am running Android 12 with One UI version 4.1. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Don't use SmartSwitch...
Was it running ok on 11?
12 is a mess.
I'm still and will stay running on Android 9 and 10. Security has not been an issue with only slight user modifications like disabling wifi.
It was not running on 11 either. Don't know why it says that. I have had an S6 Edge, S8 Plus, and now the Note 10 Plus. I have not done anything remotely close to rooting, flashing, or anything else since my S4. I have health issues and so I would really like the convenience of the Health Monitor App. All other features Knox should not allow to work if it was truly tripped work. So, I'm at a loss. Thanks for your reply.

It's sounds like a solvable issue if the knox efuse isn't tripped.
Make sure the Wearables apps have all their many permissions or it will puke on you.
Any Samsung apps disabled? Dependencies...
Clearing app data or reinstalling maybe. Clear system cache.
Call Samsung tech support, occasionally they do have solutions.

Try this as a workaround......weird your device thinks its rooted, or once was rooted.

Question Galaxy S22 - device is not certified

Most likely after the latest update, Google Play started reporting to me on my Galaxy S22 that the device is not certified, and I cannot make payments through Google Wallet. Has anyone had a similar issue?

I've come across at least one other post complaining of the same thing. There seems to be a CTS profile issue with the latest update. I assume you aren't unlocked and rooted?
I don't have root or any other modifications. I just changed the CSC when I bought the phone (a year ago) so that I could record calls.
Go to Developers Options and ENABLE OEM bootloader.
Restart phone.
Go to options and DISABLE the very same option.
