Hi Everyone.
Keen to get a cellular version of the galaxy watch (keener for a cellular version of the watch active but apparently its not coming our with a cellular version) but I have a huawei mate 9,
Can anyone tell me...
Will it work with a mate 9?
If not what functions are not active?
Does it matter if the watch is a cellular version? does it being cellular mean it can connect directly to apps and access required information.
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have gone looking but cant find any reference ..
Thanks Tony
I have a Samsung phone so I'm not certain that this is 100% the truth, just what I have read from people in here or over the galaxy watch subreddit.
It should not matter what android phone is most things will work fine just like with a Samsung phone, I've only seen people talking about some compatibility issues with iPhone.
Now about the esim..
What I've read about it is that it works as if you have the phone with Bluetooth with you, you will get all the notifications but you don't have apps on the watch.
All of the notifications will be just mirrored from the phone notifications and the apps you can get on the watch right now are really limited.
Well you have Spotify and Samsung mail but for the others you can only do the same as on the phone notifications, read most of them, answer some things but it's going to be limited, on messaging apps you can see the last 10 but once you close the notification you have to wait until you get another etc.
If you often go out to do things like some kind of sport that doesn't allow you to bring the phone or you think you could use it while doing other things, it can be worth it but it's not going to work fully as a secondary smartphone, just as a app notification center + phone.
I'm using a cellular Galaxy Watch with a Huawei P20 Pro and it works perfectly.
Cheers,
Tom.
In all honesty, since they now allow you to download/install the Galaxy Weable app on pretty much any device now, you can use it with whatever device the app will work with.
I mean, there are always limitations and whatnot, but rule of thumb, yeah, it's not locked to Samsung phones only. Hell, they even let i(cough)Phone users use it! (unlike that fruity company with their watches).
Thanks!
Does the Samsung Galaxy Cellular smart watch work with huawei pro20?

You may have to activate LTE on a samsung phone. S7 or newer.
I'm on a p30 pro. Panicked when I tried to activate LTE through the wearable app and it wouldn't work. Borrowed an S10, put in sim card and activated. All good now.
Works a treat with my OnePlus 8 Pro! Cheers
I'm using Galaxy Watch Active 1 and Honor 9 lite, all function on watch work well ( pairing, get whatsapp,email, SMS notification, purchasing app). And I can access galaxy store without phone (using Wifi network).

I have Galaxy Watch R800 (BT, WiFi only) and Huawei P20 PRO and I cannot make a Galaxy Store on the watch to work. Any idea?
Everyone I try to run Galaxy Store on my GW i get error. I can run galaxy store on my phone and it works. I have the same problem with Bixby. Any other app works great.
I get this error even on WiFi connection.
My advice for those who want to perfectly match the smartphone with the watch: If you own a huawei smartphone then buy a huawei watch and if you own a samsung smartphone then buy a samsung watch! Otherwise, after few updates of one or another nobody guarrantee if pair samsung/huawei/xiaomi or whatever will still work without bugs...

Hi,
I dont know if anyone has an answer to my question but I am just curios if there a method in doing this
"Is there a way to pair Galaxy Gear S to a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE (SM-T705)?"
Coz to my surprise that here in Singapore I tried to pair demo Galaxy Gear S from retail store or even Samsung Store and it would not detect the Gear S on my Tab S 8.4 using the Gear App that I got from the Samsung Store.
They also said that the Gear S is not compatible with any newer tablets (Tab S) that Samsung has even the tablet has LTE and can make outbound and received inbound calls.
Anyone out their either ROOT method or NOT please do let me know coz it would be a waste that Gear S wont be able to pair to a Tab S 8.4 LTE (SM-T705) with phone capability.
Edit:
The only way that I was able to pair my Tab S with my Gear S was to first setup the Gear S on a Note 2, then
I did a titanium backup of Gear Manager and restored that on my Tab S.
I was then able to connect them after wiping the Gear S first. It took a little trial and error and a few restores but it worked.
All of the default Gear Apps work.
The Gear Store is empty but I am hoping a build prop edit will fix that.
Otherwise the Tab S said it was not a supported device.

Damn, I have the same issue. And I just sold my Note 4. waiting on delivery for the note 4 duos.
I realize this is an older thread but I picked up the International Tab S this week and wanted to post the process it took for me to get this working with my Gear S.
So, to start off, I have all functions working except the built-in SMS feature. I can use any other message app and get notifications but I am still trying to figure out what it will take to have the built-in SMS on the Gear S synchronize with the Tab S. I think it may require the SMS app from a supported device so that is where I am going next with this.
To get the Gear Manager itself to find the Gear S required Root access and editing the build.prop file. In this file there are two things you must change:
1) [ro.product.model=] should be changed from SM-T705 to SM-N910A (or any Gear S supported model)
2) [ro.build.characteristics] should be changed from tablet to phone. This has to be changed back after completely pairing for the first time, otherwise Settings will force close every time you try to open it.
At this point I have all the apps I need and all functionality except the SMS issue mentioned above and the forwarding feature was not working. After much troubleshooting I discovered that I could not even forward from the settings menu directly. After a lengthy chat with AT&T, and having them reapply my IMEI from my Note 4 to the account, it is now working as expected.
I am very happy with this tablet, even though I do not currently have LTE capability. Being able to combine my tablet and phone is incredible and thanks to the Gear S it is feasible. I guess to each their own but it works great for me. I am hoping that at some point we can figure out a way to add the US LTE bands to this device but it is not that big of a deal for me. Everything I have tried to stream and access has been flawless so far. I hope this post is helpful to others trying to get the Gear S working with the Tab S.
**** Update ***** I just realized that I can send SMS from the Gear S and it goes out like it game from my Tab S phone number as it should. So it appears that it is only coming back from the Tab S that is not working properly at the moment.
I am planning to buy a new phone, pocophone f1 is an option, but I don't know if the galaxy watch will work properly with it. Any one has experience with pairing it to pocophone or other non Samsung phones? Thanks.
Mine is paired to an Honor 8 Pro. It paired right out of the box with no problems. Works much better than my old Moto 360 2nd Gen. I don't have Samsung Pay but I don't care about that.

What about recieving notifications on the watch and downloading applications from galaxy store from your phone?

I used my former S3 with a former Honor 8 and had no problem with notifications or downloading apps from Galaxy store. I wouldn't expect problems with the Galaxy.
Has anyone had their watch receive calls and your phone never rings and then when you turn your watch off phone calls go right to voicemail?

No problems whatsoever.
I have had NO issues with the watch and my Oneplus 5T.

If phone is not rooted, bootloader locked, and so play store device status is certified :
You can download and install galaxy gear app, from which you'll be able to pair and manage the galaxy watch.
It's what i done on my oneplus 5 : unrooted, re-locked. Everything works. As a non samsung phone owner, the only things that do not are :
- samsung pay
- integrated tizen email app
Or you can download the apk from apkmirror and use it with root. That's what I'm doing now. Samsung pay may or may not work, I don't use it so I don't know.
You need Samsung accessory service, the galaxy gear plugin and the galaxy wearble app. Mine works flawlessly with a custom ROM with xposed, rooted.

Can you download them without rooting, or must I root the phone?
You can do it without root but you need to enable the install from unknown sources option
they have a modded Samsung store to stop that root check they have magisk mods to hide root
I can confirm that this works on non-samsung devices. I get everything pushed to my watch from my phone as long as I have the notification for the app enabled at the time. The only issues I see with the Samsung Pay is if you don't have the app installed on your phone due to the fact that it uses NFC to make the transaction now so as long as your phone supports NFC you can use Samsung Pay as well. If not then you can use the ported version of Google Pay, but I wouldn't personally recommended due to the fact that it is ran by a third-party developer. As for root, I have not seen an issue or been lock out of anything in the watch due to being rooted so I can't confirm nor deny if it is fully root functional.
Rooted pixel 2 xl and everything works as it should.
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.
Hi I currently have the note 9 but I'm looking to upgrade to the xperia 1 will my galaxy watch fully work on the xperia 1 like it does on my note 9 or will I loose some functions
Thanks
Compatibility on non samsung android smartphones is 90%.
Some apps are samsung restricted (like Komoot) and you will lose the ability to use email and sms app on watch. You can still reply to email and sms but only as a notification. Apart from this is perfect.
Tested firsthand
You will lose many features if you do not have a Samsung phone connected to the watch. I'm currently using the Galaxy watch with an lgv30 and my experience is terrible. You're way better off grabbing a watch with wear OS if you don't have a Samsung phone. I would trade my $400 Galaxy watch for $100 wear OS watch in a second. You will be unable to view your conversations in the messaging app, many of the Samsung Health features do not work correctly, your battery will not last as long as it does with Samsung phone users. I've also had issues with things syncing up correctly. . If you look here https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch/device-compatibility/ at the bottom of their page it says all the limitations for iOS. They don't clearly state on this page but many of those limitations will apply to you as well if you're using the Galaxy without a Samsung phone

Galaxy wearable doesnt work with me any other app can connect my watch and manage it ?
Galaxy watch (6350)
Any custom wearable manager ?
Hi!
I was wondering if anyone managed to setup Samsung Pay on their galaxy watch active 2 while their phone is rooted.
I can't setup SPay on my watch since it requires setting it up on my galaxy s10+ phone which is rooted.
Maybe any bypass or any other suggestion?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, Knox kills the ability to setup Samsung pay on the watch. Pity because I was considering the Galaxy Note 20 or Galaxy Note S10+ as my next phone due to processor specs.
Once Knox is tripped, one cannot go back (though there is anecdotal discussion on some Samsung devices that people have had Knox reset to 0x0 after being tripped).
Sorry I could not be of more help.
Cheers,

I decided after my Note 4 finally died to exit the Samsung family and get on with life, they were making it just too hard to do anything if your are a tinkerer....

I was able to get it to work on mine. Uninstall the Samsung pay plugin on your phone then reinstall it and use the magisk hide option in magisk to hide it from the 2 plugins I have in my screenshot. Close the magisk manager app and then try it. You have to be fast at signing in and adding a card. If it pops up with the error saying that your device is modified just close the Samsung pay app and open it again and keep going. If it keeps going you might have to block more of the plugins for the Samsung plugin in the magisk manager hide option.
Once you get it running, to keep it working across ROM's, if youre in the habit of flashing different ROM's, and want to keep your Samsung Pay working across flashes, along with the connection to the watch (without having to reset it), heres how i do it:
Keeping Watch Connection And Samsung Pay Across ROMs
This is currently how i keep my Galaxy Active 2 working - connected and Samsung Pay working - across ROM flashes without having to reset it every time, because resetting sucks Please note: At time of writing theres no known way to keep BP...
