Active 2 worth it ? - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hi I'm thinking about getting a watch with no, EKG and BP, active2 seems to be one to fill all of this but I have a few questions :
1- is it hard to crack it to enable EKG and BP ? ( Normally I root Android phones so I have experience )
2- is battery life decent ?
3-can it work fine with any non rooted android phone ?
4- is it worth it ? I know the active 3 is out but I really don't feel like spending 500$ on a watch

1. No cracking. 2 APKs. One will install tpk on watch, and another is samsung health monitor for phone. 5 minutes to get it work.
2. Two days of normal usage. Wifi and lte on auto
3. Yes. Best with samsung of course.
4. Active 2 and watch 3 are nearly identical on hardware side. Only diference is how they looks.

The Active 2 would work well for you! Cheers

D-Load a version of the Stock ROM ( 9.5.17.0 if you can... ) transfer it from you computer and flash it..
reboot phone to twrp mode and make a backup of your data if u want data not to be lost.
flash your custom rom,and again go to twrp mode and restore your data excluding(system) and reboot the device.
try it,it worked for me without loss of data.

Hey S.S...
Not 30 Minutes Ago I pulled the trigger on the Samsung Galaxy A70.
It's only about 6mm taller than the XRN5.. but, packs a 6.7 inch SuperAmoled Display that is simply Incredible.
Samsung's OneUI coupled with a Samsung app called Good Lock.. gives you almost endless tweaks without root access.
The Snapdragon 675 / Adreno 512 SoC along with Samsung Pay having NFC and MST capabilities and 6 GB of Ram / 128 GB of Storage sealed the deal..
Honorable Mention To:
The Redmi K20 Pro
The Asus Zen 6
The OnePlus 7
A little more expensive.. faster.. but not as feature rich as the Galaxy A70..
I'll Stay In Touch.. You've Done A Fantastic Job Helping So Many With The XRN5... Keep It Up Boss! :good:

Yeah. Xiaomi finally rolled out Android Pie update with native Dark Mode option.. I hope you will enjoy dark mode option in AMOLED display..
Huge difference between Redmi Note 5 and Samsung A70. Hope you will love all the new features

I just seen that Dark Mode has been implemented..
That's cool.. I've always used Xiaomi's Theme Store.. And I LOVE Dark Themes.. but it's nice for those that like to go from light to dark depending on the time of day.
And Yes.. I've so missed Amoled Displays.. I had a Note 4.. and would STILL be using it if I did not Cheap Out and buy a dang $1.00 car charger & cable..
It burned my Note 4 out! That's been almost 3 years ago... So, I can't wait to fire that puppy up for the 1st time and see 6.7 inches of pure black heaven.. :highfive:

Nothing personally and totally nothing against you, but I'm curious since I never asked that someone, why a new mobile phone after just 1 year? Since I'm used to have a single phone for 2 - 3 years.

Hi There X..
I think.. if you ask 10 different people.. you'd get 10 different answers..
In my case, Having the Note 5 Pro "Rooted-Stock" has been pretty much perfect. 100% Stable & Fast with Nova Prime and Animations at 0.5.. Viper sounds great.. Quickboot works like a charm.. And Greenify rounds out the reasons that I rooted the stock O.S.
So Why Move On From What Seems Like A Perfect Fit?
1st) Samsung SuperAmoled Displays.. ( My New Device Has A 6.7 inch Screen )
2nd) Samsung Pay (NFC / MST Technology Works ANYWHERE a Debit / Credit Card is accepted ) Google Pay.. Not.
3rd) Samsung OneUI ( In conjunction with an app called Good Lock ) provides Endless System Tweaks without root.
4th) Samsung 's AR Emoji's!!! ( Super Fun To Play With! )
5th) Samsung's Bezel- Less Design..( I'm cool with the Infinity U-Notch.. and you can hide it )
6th) I recently purchase a new Camry.. with Scoutlink Technology.. Toyota doesn't acknowledge Xiaomi devices at all... The Salesperson and I Brought a OnePlus 7 Pro out of a T-Mobile store to see if the Camry software would acknowledge the connection.. No Problem it linked to the OnePlus 7 Pro instantly.. as did a $100.00 Samsung J3 Prime device... Toyota Simply Does Not Acknowledge Xiaomi..
Well.. I think that pretty much sums up my thought process..
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro wins a lot of battle's..
But The Samsung A70 Knows How To Win The War.

Okay that makes Sense. I'm totally different
1. The 6 Inch Screen is totally okay for me and I prefer IPS LCD More. (Sounds maybe weird, but yeah xD)
2. Never used any of the paying technologies, never used NFC on any phone at all and I not really feel like I need it, I still prefer paying with real money that I can hold in my hand, oldschool, but that's how I am xD
3. I'm really in love with MIUI meanwhile and since the S4 I never used Samsung ever again. But yeah the settings I can manage on MIUI are more than enough for me. (I use my phone unrooted since I not like Magisk and I never unlocked it, all offical still and pure Stock since over 7 months, now on offical MIUI Pie
4. Not really Something I personally need ?
5. Even if you can hide it, I hate all types of Notches and avoid every phone that has it and it doesn't matter for me if it's bezel-less or not, so long the phone fits my needs.
7. Cannot say anything to that, since I don't own a car, I don't even have a Driver license with 29 xD Cause here in Berlin/Germany I not really need it since I get everywhere in Berlin just by bus and train really cheap per month.
So as you see, my Points are totally different and as you maybe see I will take good care of my Redmi Note 5 so long as possible. ? And you take good care of your new phone.

Pair Gear S3 watch from Note 8 to Note 10+

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place. I am having issues on my Gear S3 watch when I pair it to Note 10+. Some of the watch faces (especially the purchased watch faces) is not available on the Note 10+ Galaxy Store. When I go to Galaxy App >> My Page >> All, I cannot see the complete list of the watches faces I purchased before. While it can be re-downloaded and installed on my Note 8 Galaxy Store. It is all present on my Note 8 if I pair it again to it.
I also tried backing up everything on my Gear S3 watch from Note 8 then restore when I pair it to Note 10+ but still the some of watch faces are not downloaded afterwards.
The only difference I see is the Galaxy Store version. Not sure if this is the reason.
Need help on this. Thanks!

I had this happen with the Titanium SU Pro watch face where it was available for my Note 9 but not my Note 10+ 5G.
One email to the Dev and all is now good. The dev just needed to update the watch face to support the new device types.

Correct - the app store backend is pretty archaic. You have to tick every combination of phone model with each watch model. There isn't an option to have it automatically support all devices
I have sent email to the developers of the missing watch faces. Only 1 developer replied so far. He said, there is nothing he can do.
Still checking with him if there is a way to add support for the new device. :crying:

They just need to log in to the seller page, click update on the watchface and under devices they need to tick all the new ones. Then submit and it will be approved in about 30 minutes

iOS or Android for gwa2 help

Hi got an note 10 plus and iPhone 11 Pro
What you guys prefer to sync your watch with
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one over the other .
Can someone recommend for advice from their experience.
Thanks
Hi. First of all. Throw away your iphone in the bin.
Iphone is useless and boring.
If you use iphone you cant use samsung pay on your watch. And it does not work as good as it does with a samsung phone.

Galaxy Watch (not Active!!) 2 with blood pressure

Hi all.
I menaged to download the app: My Bp Lab. But everytime i launch it it says it can't find the active watch.
So my question is: is there a method to measure Blood Pressure with the Galaxy Watch 2? In any non conventional modes? Or do i have to wait until MR Samsung decides to free it up for the other watches that are not Active?
Or did i buy the wrong Watch? The sensors might be the same, as i read.

Maybe heat.. or maybe I am drunken or maybe I am not smart enough...
Can you give simple Model Name?
Example:
SM-R800 is IMHO device of Galaxy Watch family...
Because I have NO idea what you mean with Galaxy Watch 2?
Best Regards
There is no such watch as galaxy watch 2...
There newest ones are the galaxy watch, galaxy ative 1 and 2 and finally galaxy watch 3
The exact model is:
Galaxy Watch SM-R805F
Sorry for that guys.
This model is just the "galaxy watch" (LTE). She's not equipped to measure blood pressure.
Sure it is equipped, it is only not ompatible. So i was asking if there is a way to make the app compatible. It has the same Sensors as the Active Watch.
This site is the prove for what i sayed.
https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/...the-galaxy-watch-and-the-galaxy-watch-active/
The two clocks are identicall in what sensors belong. So it is only an App feature (as the mylab is still in test phase. )
it seems to me that the galaxy active is not equipped with the blood pressure sensor (only the galaxy active 2 is equipped)
SM-R500 Galaxy Watch Active 1 work with Samsung Health Monitor and Blood Pressure. :good:
Best Regards
@adfree, could you post a screenshot ?
Thx
Hi everyone I have the R815F version, and I think this feature will only come in a few months with the arrival of Tizen 4.0.0.8, not before I think. And seeing that this watch has never had a correct follow-up, I think there is a risk of never having it.

I second this. I have been swapping back and forth between my OnePlus 9 Pro, my Pixel 6 Pro, and my Galaxy Z Fold3.
Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. If you want to sync Do Not Disturb with your Galaxy Watch4 and a non-Samsung phone, go here: https://github.com/rhaeus/dnd-sync

It can't. I think I read somewhere, that Samsung uses it's own Wireless Power Share system, which is not QI charging compatible.
Just bought a watch 4 yesterday. Randomly the watch4 unpairs with phone (9 pro rooted). Then I have to reset my watch to pair with phone just for it to happen all over again. Suuuuper frustrating. Any Ideas?
NVM. I switched roms and all is Gucci now.
