I'm also experiencing this problem. I think a recent messenger update may have broken it. I'll let you know if I find a fix.

The problem is caused by a recent update of Messages breaking something. I solved the problem by reverting to an older version using the following steps:
1. Disable automatic updates in the play store on both your watch and your phone.
2. Uninstall Messages from both your watch and your phone.
3. Go to apkmirror.com and get Android Messages version 2.1.167. Pick the apk that is appropriate for your phone and install it, then open it up and make it your default SMS app.
4. Get Android Messages (wear) version 2.1.167.
5. Install it on your watch by enabling adb and using the command adb install [file path to apk file]
6. Before you start messages on your watch, go to settings -> apps and give it all of the permissions that it wants.
7. Everything should work now.

I tried exactly as you post it but in the end the command didn't saw the APK on the file. As saying that "there's no apk on file"
I did it, I was doing the commands all wrong xD
Now thanks to you I can send messages over the watch. Thank you very much for the very detailed explanation and resources.
I updated the app to the latest version and the issue seems to be fixed.
enable magisk hide on those apps in screenshot. Use xmlpak magisk mod if you don't see Samsung in play store after activating it on your watch
Please edit title to state that is requires a rooted phone, a simple "[ROOT]" would be fine. Don't want to have a misleading title.
I'm running a rooted note 9 and latest magisk, yet I don't see any of those apps in magisk hide? Not sure why
I have a Samsung galaxy watch 42mm and Nokia 7 Plus, i live in India, since i got the watch there is no option of Samsung pay in Galaxy wear app. I manually installed latest Samsung pay plugin ( https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...n/samsung-pay-watch-plug-in-1-7-5906-release/ ) , and changed the region to Australia and after that when i paired the watch again with galaxy wear app Samsung pay is showing in it, and i then followed the instructions in the app to set it up.
I followed the below instructions samsung pay works on my nokia 7 plus.
You do NOT need root.
But this is how you do it.
1. So first, download SDBstarterKidv1 from the following link please:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
WARNING: This will reset your watch, so make sure you back it up so you can restore it later.
2. Next make sure your watch is set up as follows:
- Debugging Mode turned ON
- Connect watch to WiFi and get its IP address (To find the IP address on Galaxy Watch: Settings > Connections > Wifi > Wifi Networks > [your network] > Scroll down to IP address)
3. Next, from SDBstarterKidv1 double click on 'install.bat' (it will not install, it just flashes a window, but this step is required)
4. From the subfolder data\tools double click on 'sdb.exe' (it will not install, it just flashes a window, but this step is required too)
After noting IP address of the Galaxy Watch, Launch ‘Ansicon.exe’ from sdb_2.2.60_windows-64\data\tools (this thing will open a command prompt window, and all the action is done here)
5. Type: sdb connect [IP of Galaxy Watch]
6. Look at Galaxy Watch, it will prompt you to accept a message
7. If you try the sdb connect [IP address] again, it will say "already connected". This means we are connected and good to continue.
8. Type: sdb shell and Enter
9. Copy Paste: launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration and Enter
So this lets you change the region of the watch. Now for me I changed mine to Austrailia. The code for Austrailia is XSA
Once the watch is reset, pair it back up with your phone.
10. Once pared with your phone you will need to:
- Turn on developer mode again
- Turn on debugging mode
- Turn off the watch and turn it back on again.
- You may need to wait a few minutes.
11. Once you have done this, you can open the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app and go to settings. When you scroll down you should see samsung pay.
If you dont see pay, hold down the back button (Top right button) on the watch till samsung pay opens up and follow the instuctions to set it up. But initially the Samsung pay app is not recognising my compatible Indian Debit and Credit card and not allowing me to add, i thought this might be that i had changed the region to Australia, but i tried again after an hour and then to my surprise i am able to add all my 4 cards to Samsung pay app , and it is working also, i tried a payment at NFC enabled terminal and payment works flawlessly
Enjoy your new watch with Samsung Pay enabled.

I followed your steps, but chose SEK as region (thinking it was Sweden). However, now it's impossible to connect to the watch again with sdb. When trying to connect, I sometimes get responses like ¥¸ºeÇþx or other strange characters
EDIT: After the reset when I changed the region, the watch was also showing cyrillic characters for the instructions. However, as soon as I connected my phone, the watch changed to english.
EDIT2: I installed Tizen Studio to get the most recent version of SDB. And after a reboot of the watch, it looks like I'm getting closer:
Code:
PS C:\tizen-studio\tools> .\sdb connect 192.168.0.199

I ve added all to magisk hide. But still cant open samsung pay watch plugin. Still getting access denied
Hey,
Is it possible that thanks to your method I will be able to turn on Samsung pay in my country (Poland) if it is not supported? Only Google pay works. Maybe I will need to do it using paypal? Thank you for your help in advance

Fixed by using an older version of the plugin
FYI, I just received my Galaxy Watch today. Installed Samsung Pay (ver. 1.9.1206) on my Pixel 3XL and tried to run it but was denied because of Magisk (ver. 19.3 stable). So I hid the Manager via Hide Magisk Manager from within the app. I then was allowed to go through the setup process and add a credit card.
Failed to connect with remote device.
I have getting error failed to connect with remote device while connecting to galaxy watch . How to fix this.
Hello guys,
I also have error - failed to connect. When I try to ping the watch, the ping responses...
I tried it on fresh Windows 7 and 10 installations, also on Mac. Also tried to add the port to IP address. But always failed to connect... There is no message on the watch.
Any idea guys?
Thanks a lot.
Has anybody managed to get the Komoot Gear plugin to install on the Watch Active (v1)?
I get the plugin on the Galaxy App Store, it will download and transfer to the watch, but install doesn't complete, instead it gives an error "Failed to install app". No problems with installation of other apps.

For info
Komoot have responded suggesting likely watch app update later this year should provide a fix.
OK guys your watch will still work with many Wear OS apps but apps won't sync up with your phone any more. The problem is that the version of Google Play Services on your watch is way out of date.
The solution is you need to sideload a newer version of google play services and then like magic all your apps that can still work with Wear OS 1.5 will work again.
You need to download and install adb fastboot on your PC, and the USB drivers for your particular model of phone. Then go to apkmirror and download the latest version of "Google Play Services (Wear OS)" as an APK.
Now put your Smartwatch into developer mode by going to settings --> about --> build number (click it 7 times, congrats you are now a developer)
Now go to Settings --> Developer Options --> ADB Debugging (enable) and Bluetooth debugging (enable)
Back on your phone, Wear OS App --> Advanced Settings --> Debugging over bluetooth (enable)
Enable Developer options on your phone as well through settings --> About --> Software info --> Build number seven times. Enable USB debugging.
Plug phone into PC with usb and open a command prompt in the directory where you've installed the adb files
Code:
ADB devices
should show your phone unauthorized. Authorize it on the phone popup prompt. Now the command should show your phone as "device"
Code:
adb forward tcp:6666 localabstract:/adb-hub
adb connect localhost:6666
On your watch, authorize the connection
On your phone, Wear OS app, Advanced settings, you should see Host: connected and Target:connected
If you get into trouble, run
Code:
adb kill-server
and try again.
Now you can install the apk
Code:
adb -e install -r (path to apk)
it will take a long while and may appear to hang. Give it time, at least 15 minutes. Go do something else. Wait for the command prompt to come back.
Now reboot your watch and revel in the magic as your apps suddenly reappear.
You also try sideloading other apps your mileage may vary. On APK mirror you can sometimes find older verions of Wear OS apps, look for ones that require Android 6.0+ Instead of 7.1.+
FYI I've tried sideloading several apps, and while many don't work properly, I was able to get Maps working by sideloading
com.google.android.apps.maps_10.35.2-1035250000_minAPI23(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
Hi,
Thanks for this =)
Is there a reason to push the app through the phone instead of directly to watch?
EDIT: just do the same but directly connect the watch through USB worked well for me, including installing more apps like GMaps and Messages.
EDIT2: Just did this, so people could find this workaround faster =) https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/55427445

Hey first of all, thank you to bring me a light to follow,
I can confirm that if you use usb is more quickly, just I have:
1: installed "15 seconnds adb installer v1.4.3" found on this forum
2: Plug my smartwatch 3 on my pc (windows 10)
3: downloaded the most recent google play services (wear os) from apk mirror
4: rename the downloaded apk with a shorter name
5: placed the apk on C: and then open a power shell window in that location (****f+right click)
6: put this command adb install -r -g aplicationname.apk
7: wait 5 minutes
8: enjoy

Hi people,
I own a sony smartwatch 3, got some problems about sync multiple times. I always found simples workarounds but some days ago, Google dropped support for wear 1.5 devices.
I consider this as an official announcement:
https://support.google.com/wearos/thread/5538033?hl=en
Therefore, we have a "workaround" for those that need more time to buy another smartwatch or else.
Inspired from this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/smartwatch-3/fix-app-sync-smartwatch-3-dead-t4121409
# Download the latest GService for Wear OS
Using apkmirror website you can find the latest apk for "Google Play Services (Wear OS)",
This link will give you the page of GService v20.21.17 which is the latest available on 2020-06-25.
You must ensure 2 things:
- Is it the latest version
- Is it compatible with Android 6.0+ (as it's the wear android version, 7.0+ and above will not work)
You can also download other apks to install, see the "More" section at the bottom of this post.
Soon or later, Google will definitely drop android 6.0. When this will happen, the latest version will not be available anymore for android 6.0+, therefore it will be the end.
# Download/Install adb debugging tools on your computer
There are multiple ways to install the adb debugging tool, I recommend following the steps you'll find on XDA website: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
# Enable ADB Debugging options on your watch
Enable developer mode by going to
Settings --> about --> build number (click it 7 times, congrats you are now a developer)
Now go to Settings --> Developer Options --> ADB Debugging (enable)
Then open and keep the command line window (aka "terminal")
# Connect your watch to your computer
Then using the terminal, type "adb devices", after a moment, you should get a prompt asking for debugging permission on your watch: accept.
In the terminal, you should now see something like "14452D11F536B52 device" when typing "adb devices" again.
If you see "unauthorized" or else, you're not ready for the next step, go back and try again.
If you struggle at this step, you may need specific drivers or else for your watch, google will be your best friend at this point.
# Send the app to your watch
In the terminal, type "adb install -r path_to_the_apk_file", replace path_to_the_apk_file by the path to the file you download from apkmirror earlier.
Then wait, the installation can take several minutes. Once it's done, restart your watch and you should see the apps beginning to synchronize themself =)
----
If you're new to the command-line tool (aka "terminal"), I'll assume you're a window user.
So you may need to type something like "adb install -r C:/Users/Robert/Downloads/file_downloaded.apk", again, you'll have to replace Robert by your windows username and file_downloaded.apk by the name of the file you downloaded earlier.
The best way to get this line right: open the file explorer, click "This computer" in the sidebar, then click on your main hard drive, then the folder "Users". Here you should see a folder with your username, click on it, then go through folders & files until you see the downloaded file. Once it's done, you should be able to get the full pathname by click in the explorer address bar (didn't understand ? See https://winaero.com/blog/show-full-path-address-bar-windows-10-file-explorer/ ) then at this point you should know how to execute the last command by reading again the last step "Send the app to your watch"
----
# More
You can follow this step and install any apk you want, but I don't recommend installing apk not made for Wear OS even if it works
More apps installable this way on your watch if you don't want to wait for app sync:
- Google Messages (SMS), latest is v6.1.095 on 2020-06-25
- Google Maps, latest is v10.35.2 (android 6.0+) on 2020-06-25
The GMaps is a good example about obsolete versions: on 2020-06-25, the real latest available is v10.43.2, but it's android 7.0+ only, so don't expect GMaps to work indefinitely for your watch, it will stop working soon or later.
# Say thanks
Please, if you can click upvote or post an answer: it will help people with the same problem find this
Thanks for posting a simplified process.
I only used Bluetooth because I have other Wear OS watches that don't work over cable connect, so it's the way I am familiar with. I like to use different watches depending upon activity and mood. The Smartwatch 3 is a great watch for outdoor activities because it is sleek, waterproof, and very sunlight visible.

So you may need to type something like "adb install -r C:/Users/Robert/Downloads/file_downloaded.apk", again, you'll have to replace Robert by your windows username and file_downloaded.apk by the name of the file you downloaded earlier.
The best way to get this line right: open the file explorer, click "This computer" in the sidebar, then click on your main hard drive, then the folder "Users". Here you should see a folder with your username, click on it, then go through folders & files until you see the downloaded file. Once it's done, you should be able to get the full pathname by click in the explorer address bar (didn't understand ? See https://winaero.com/blog/show-full-path-address-bar-windows-10-file-explorer/ ) then at this point you should know how to execute the last command by reading again the last step "Send the app to your watch"

You can follow this step and install any apk you want, but I don't recommend installing apk not made for Wear OS even if it works
More apps installable this way on your watch if you don't want to wait for app sync:
- Google Messages (SMS), latest is v6.1.095 on 2020-06-25
- Google Maps, latest is v10.35.2 (android 6.0+) on 2020-06-25
The GMaps is a good example about obsolete versions: on 2020-06-25, the real latest available is v10.43.2, but it's android 7.0+ only, so don't expect GMaps to work indefinitely for your watch, it will stop working soon or later.

Hi. In the link to install the adb debugging tool, I can only get as far step 6 connecting my phone. When i type 'adb devices' in the command prompt it says -
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
Nothing appear on my phone as per the step 7 "On your phone’s screen, you should see a prompt to allow or deny USB Debugging access"
Can anyone help?
@MrFleas
1) go again on EVERY.SINGLE.STEP this may feel dumb to do but it could help
2) if it does not work, try googling for swr50 USB drivers, you may need to download Android SDK and drivers - then reboot - then start again at step one
3) come back here to thanks or asking for more help

Hi people, just realized we can also download the sony app to our phones (directly from phone or by using adb like on watch) so we can edit stock watch faces again =)
Here's the app to download to the phone: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sony-...ditor-2-0-0-20-android-apk-download/download/
Once installed, to edit watch faces, go to wear app, the edit watch faces =)
Seems like the same issue...
My hardly used smart watch is ALIVE again!
Thanks a lot guys!
I have latest but sync not working :/ i have a question is possibile install app with higher api or change apk API level ?
check the play service on your phone and install exactly the same version of the wear app
then it works
Cheers for doing this! Got my old smartwatch working cause of that. If anyone else reading this has issues at the' ADB device' point, and is using a linux based system, remember to use sudo on the commands -as otherwise i found that it would not enable the prompt to let me 'authorise' the device in order to send the apk to the watch.
Question- given that google have disabled the onboard step counter function on wear 1.5 devices (like this one), can we sideload a fitness apk via adb with this method that will then sync to our phones?

Hi, I've got the same issue. I had to change my phone. I've installed the same version of google play services on the watch with the description in this threat. But the phone is still not syncing the apps to the watch. Is there anything more I can do to trigger the sync (already triggered 'resync all app in Wear OS' without effect).
You might try to go Settings-Permissions on the watch and set the Permissions for your app. Sometimes I have got this to make the app work, when it is already installed on the watch but not working.
It works! I first downloaded this version of Wear OS for my phone:
Wear 2.43, the newest one somehow broke the sync for me.
By using ADB with " ADB install -r "I installed the last working Google Play Services for my Watch and also the last available version of Google Fit for Android 6.
Play Services : Play Services Wear OS - 20.45.16
Google fit : Google Fit - 2.10.36
Hi all,
I'm trying to use SecondScreen app ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...screen-mirroring-for-android-devices.2766268/ ) on my Oneplus 9 PRO but this feature it seems doesn't work....
I have asked to releaser and he told me that he would need to know the "sysfs path for turning off the OnePlus 9 Pro's backlight" but I'm not able to find it...
Is there anyone knows this path ?
If so, I could tell it to the releaser and he could add this info into its app by an update...
Many thanks to all !
The SecondScreen app is designed to work with devices that have a secondary display, and unfortunately, the OnePlus 9 Pro does not have a secondary display. However, if you still want to use the SecondScreen app on your OnePlus 9 Pro, you can try the following steps:
Download and install the SecondScreen app from the Google Play Store.
Go to Settings > Developer options on your OnePlus 9 Pro and enable USB debugging.
Connect your OnePlus 9 Pro to your computer using a USB cable.
Download and install the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) tool on your computer.
Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer and navigate to the folder where you have installed ADB.
Type the following command and press Enter: adb shell pm grant com.farmerbb.secondscreen.free android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Disconnect your OnePlus 9 Pro from your computer.
Open the SecondScreen app on your OnePlus 9 Pro, and you should be able to use its features.
Please note that these steps may not guarantee the SecondScreen app's full functionality on your OnePlus 9 Pro, as the app is primarily designed for devices with secondary displays. However, the above steps will allow you to access the app's features and settings.

Thanks but I have a secondary screen connected to my phone with HDMI ( montior 1080p OLED ) that I'm using to play the games....
Everything goes well with it but I would like to swtich off the phone backlight during mirroring and this app could be the right choise.
I have already tried with root and unroot phone ( with adb commands ).
I already have done all the steps needed
I have already write a PM to the releaser and he told me what I have already above write.....
I repeat my question : is anyone who knows the "sysfs path for turning off the OnePlus 9 Pro's backlight" ?
Thanks !
