Hi can anyone help me with this problem, I keep getting a really long error message when I try to run my watch faces on my device. I will post the error message down below, if anyone knows a fix or work around please don't hesitate to let me know. Also I am running version 1.0.0 of Gear Watch Designer. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks!

Looks like you may need to do the signature again? I've had to redo my author certificates a couple times. Try redoing them, then run on device. Also make sure unknown sources is allowed in the app manager

Yeah my watch reset and it was working fine before it reset. Also I don't really know how redo the certificates though.
Ok, make sure your watch has debugging enabled: setConnect your watch through a command prompt window with sdb connect. Once that is done go to gwd and select the project tab. Then first select author and follow the prompts for new certificate. Then select distributor and follow prompts for new there. Then try.

Struggling with this. It's happened to me several times. S7 Edge, GS2 Classic, GWD 1.2.1, all the switches switched, rebooted the watch a couple times, tried to use my phone to connect, all that. The computers and the watch are on the same net but the program say No Device Detected. I've done everything I can think of - using the phone as a hot spot, disabling my virus program, sacrificing a virgin goat - EVERY DAMN THING! Of course Samsung provides nothing in the way of support so all my help comes from the forums, which is great! Just doesn't help.
I did the Allow Unknown Sources as well. Nada. And I'm running out of goats too.

GOT IT! I had to get new author and distributor certs, turn off my anti-virus program, authorize unknown sources then reboot the phone but it now works. I've done each of those individually but I guess together is the key. Now if it just stays.
Hey guys, it's Latrell.
So I know the solution is already on XDA, but there isn't a proper forum on it, and couldn't find a solution.
So I bricked my Gear S3 frontier (T-Mobile) (SM-R765T) and I'm still trying to find the proper firmware, but at least I can flash it. I was worried that at first I couldn't and I'd have to wait for Samsung to fix it, which would probably be around 2 weeks. And I'm impatient. At least I have my T-Mobile Gear S2 classic and Gear Fit2...
Now if you have the latest (or a flashable firmware that isn't the testing firmware, which I have, so if you need to at least get your Gear S3 started somewhat, let me know and I'll upload it) let me know. I have firmwares, but I'm still flashing them to see which one is the right one. So far no luck...
But I bricked my Gear S3 frontier trying to downgrade from Tizen 3 (specifically 3.0.0.1) because the previous version seemed smoother, but obviously that wasn't a good idea...
Anyways, enough with the rambling... let me show you how to get back to wireless download on your Gear S3 classic or frontier. It's pretty easy.
Step 1: Press and hold onto the power button until it says rebooting, then press the button about 3-5 times, and stop when you get into a menu.
Step 2: Scroll to the Download (Wireless) option until it's green by pressing the power button, then press and hold onto the option until you get the Tizen logo (the blue flower looking thing.)
Step 3: Now here's the part that's going to save you. Press and hold onto the power button for 2 seconds, then let go and press and hold for 1 second. Then repeat until you see "Searching for AP"
Step 4: Double press the power button, and you should see the "Wait for AP connection", and you're done!
EDIT: For the people asking about the "Google FRP lock" even though it's Samsung reactivation lock and you can't sign into a Google account on there, you need the login info or try to reset your password. Samsung has that stuff locked down and you can't pass it.
Now you can use the firmware you've been hunting the internet for.
I hope this helped everybody.
This is what I know... about SM-R765T
The ""good"" news:
Only 3 Firmware versions public released:
Code:
R765TUVU[COLOR="Green"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]CQL1/R765TTMB3CQL1/R765TUVU3CQL1
R765TUVU[B][COLOR="Green"]3[/COLOR][/B]BQI2/R765TTMB3BQI2/R765TUVU3BQI2
[COLOR="Red"][B]R765TUVU2AQA6/R765TTMB2AQA6/R765TUVU2AQA6[/B][/COLOR]
The red marked Version is obsolete... because Samsung Rollback Prevention.
This version is free available here in XDA.
I have also second Firmware with Software Revision 1... free available but also obsolete...
Short summary.
Software Revision 1 free available BUT obsolete.
Software Revision 2 free available BUT obsolete.
We need Software Revision 3 :good:
But I can not find it as free Download... only on paid sites... for money.
To check Software Revision on your device...
Check Odin Screen... example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Code:
AP SWREV: B:
1
or
2
or
3
But as you wrote Tizen 3... you have Software Revision 3... as Bootloader sboot.bin is written...
Only as info.
Best Regards

Hi
i have opened the watch and connected 4 cables and flashed with watch. so now I have stack in FRP and google account. Do you know how to remove it.
Thanks

You must mean reactivation lock. FRP is Google's lock. And reactivation lock is Samsung's lock.
But as far as I know... no. There's no way to bypass it. It's as tough if not tougher than the iCloud lock. There may be a solution on YouTube but I'm not sure.

Hi, sorry to revive this thread, but once in Wireless download mode and i change the AP mode to SM-R770-A301. How do i get it to connect to my Wifi? i have a google onhub router. Reason im asking is because this thing is stuck on a bootloop and wont perform a reset after selecting recovery on the reboot mode screen.
Edit: nevermind, i figured it out, the watch becomes the AP, duh, stupid me, blonde moment.
habibanwari said:
No, I flashed the watch now. and its asking me to reactivate the google lock. but I don't know the google ID and password. Can you help me to bypass it. :crying:

Google ID and password? On your Samsung watch?
habibanwari said:
HI, I am not able to use the watch, as because after restarting first I need to activate it bypass the google activiation lock. its asking me to activate with the ID that was used in first place.
So can you see if there is a way to bypass google.
I have flashed it with a combination file and I can connect it to wifi and can turn on debagging. :angel:

Thank you for your post, I have the same problem with a Galaxy Watch SM-R800 , after I have written a combination file I can't get the "Wait for AP connection" message (Can't get throw Wireless Download step, as I did before with pressing power button twice... watch got briked)...heard that there is a usb cable with the connection on the side of the watch near the bracelet but I can't find it to buy or a pinout to make it
@dragosgsm
Check this Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQNOaZ8-BTQ&feature=youtu.be
But before check this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wireless-mode-enter-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3710855/
You can try the trick with Keys... hold release blabla...
Or if the first WPS Mode is stable... you could look into Document... of netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Somewhere is text how "they" use WPS Mode...
Maybe this helps you...
Best Regards
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So I flashed today and i had the wrong version.
Now I cant get to waiting for ap. I can get logo up but when i hold power for one sec repeatedly watch just turns off.

More infos... what where when?
Nobody has Crystal Ball...
You have what?
SM-R765A for USA ATT or something "else"...
Firmware packages have funny names aka file names for better identification...
If this is not Top Secret... maybe tell what you have flashed...
Example.
Code:
AP_R765AUCU2DSA1_usr.tar.md5
This is 1 of 4 files from Tizen 4 DSA1 Firmware package for SM-R765A ATT...

Hi friend. I flashed combination level 1 or bit 1 to my gear successfully using wireless Odin. But now watch is bricked does not turn on, it goes off after Samsung logo. If I try wireless mode it goes off also after a while on the blue flower page, does not show WPS or AP mode, after while then power off itself. Only stable thing is Odin mode. I am not good in soldering. I don't want to damage watch. It is R760 model. I have firmware file, bit 2 also combination file bit 1 and 2. But I flashed successfully bit 1 combination. Maybe I should have flashed bit 2 ?
If you have a port on the side of the watch with the 5 pins underneath it, you can use the circuit board from the inside of the charger of the original Gear S to connect via USB and flash firmware via Odin (not NetOdin). I've done this for a few different watches that I have bricked while testing different firmwares.
If your watch does not have the port, just use the back casing of one that does.. the pins on the motherboard are all the same. It's just a matter of having the port to be able to connect via USB without trying to manually connect loose wires.
Hi guys,
I have the SM-R500 and I was trying to update the firmware using NetOdin, I could solve it, first with the AP installation.
Then I was able to turn on the device, all good...but then on the step to connect my smartwatch to the wireless (to change the region), and the smartwatch don't find any wireless network...
Then I was trying to do a new installation using NetOdin and when I'm facing the download (wireless screen) I'm facing the attach file error..."wd_cm_setup_ap: Failed to run soft AP -1"
Can anyone have a clue to solve one of the two situations?
Thank you so much in advance.
I‘m stuck on this screen without the possibility to go to AP mode. Any solutions?

THE STORY
So both yesterday and today I took a risk. Yesterday I tried downgrading back to Tizen 2, because in my opinion... I don't know if it's just me... but it's smoother on Tizen 2. So I did that, just to find out when it finished flashing that it was too old and it wouldn't work because of rollback prevention. So basically it was bricked. So I've been unable to use this watch for probably a full 24+ hours. Today's risk I took was buying the firmware from a shady looking website that wouldn't even download the files on my computer because it said it didn't recognize it, when it's running Windows 10 using Chrome, and would only work with my phone... What it told me was I had to pay because it was a "premium" file, but I wasn't disappointed. It gave me the right file! Not the downgrade I wanted, but what I needed to actually use my watch again. The latest Tizen 3.0.0.1. So I'm happy to say I was able to unbrick my Gear S3 without having to send it to Samsung or bring it to a Samsung Experience Shop.
So what I did was I uploaded it to my Google Drive with NetOdin in a ZIP file so you guys don't have to pay for anything, and I'll be sure to keep up with this to make sure there's no dead links. Because I know that's a pretty bad problem here on XDA. So this is how to unbrick/update/whatever you're using this firmware for... this is how to flash it onto your Gear S3. This may apply to both the classic and frontier, I'm just not sure.
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
- It's probably a good idea if you charge your watch up all the way to save trouble. This will drain probably around 15% of your battery depending on how fast your Wi-Fi card is, so be sure to get at least 30% on your watch before you do this. If you can't, just keep your charger next to your computer and keep the watch on it, charging, from the outlet.
- You might want to turn off reactivation lock to save trouble too. It's not required as I didn't think anything of it and didn't have problems, but better safe than sorry. So to do it on Android, go to Samsung Gear > Settings > Find My Gear > and turn off reactivation lock
And on iOS, go to Gear S > Settings > Find My Gear > and, again, turn off reactivation lock.
- NetOdin requires Wi-Fi since you can only do this process via Wi-Fi. You can do it via cable somehow, but me, and basically everybody else doesn't know how to. So get a Windows computer with Wi-Fi.
- You will need Windows for this. There may be unofficial ways to get Odin on Mac, or even Linux (but get real, who uses that), but it's better if you just install Windows on it. Windows is installable on a Mac.
- This will take a while, for probably both downloading the ZIP, but especially flashing the file. I have a really, really old Wi-Fi card with the world's shortest connection distance, so it took around 30 minutes for me. Patience is key.
- As per usual with these posts, know that I am NOT responsible for anything that goes wrong. I took a risk, and so are you. This isn't exactly the most reliable way of flashing a firmware, but it's the only way. It would be better and a lot quicker if you could plug this thing in via USB.
- Somebody let me know since I don't have a Gear S3 classic, but it may or may not work with both the Gear S3 classic and frontier. I don't know if they use the same firmware.
Ok. Let's do it.
HOW TO FLASH IT
Step 1: Download the ZIP file, and extract the files wherever it's most convenient for you.
Step 2: In that folder you extracted (should be called "Gear S3 frontier (SM-R765T) firmware flash"), open the "WiFi_Net_Odin" folder, and open the "NetOdin3" exe file.
Step 3: Click BL, and scroll to wherever you extracted that ZIP folder. Go to the Firmware flash folder, and click the file that starts with BL_. Same for clicking the other buttons. For AP, you would click the file that starts with AP_, and etc. Once you're done with that, head over to the Pit tab on the left. Press the PIT button, and in that same folder, there should only be 1 file. "partition.pit". Click that.
Note: The app might freeze when you load the AP file in the app. Don't worry about that, it's supposed to do that. Just let it freeze, and it'll eventually fix itself. And once you're done, it should look something like the screenshot I attached. When everything looks good, move on to step 4.
Step 4: Getting your watch ready. Start off by pressing and holding onto the power button, whether it's on or off, until it says restarting under the logo. When you see that, immediately keep pressing the power button. Press it 3 times until you get into a new menu.
Step 5: When it shows up, you gotta react within 5 seconds, or it's going to restart. Scroll to "Download (Wireless)" until it's highlighed by pressing the power button. You should have to only press the power button once to get to it. Once it's highlighted, press and hold onto it, and it should boot into a screen with the flower looking thing that's the Tizen logo with a screen that says Wireless-download.
---Notice: If you're watch is bricked to the point to where it shows the flower, then turns off and won't let you flash it, refer to my post on how to get into this mode.---
Step 6: Double press the power button, and it should show "Wait for AP connection." If you followed the post I linked in the notice, skip this step.
Step 7: Go on your computer's Wi-Fi settings, and look for SM-R765T in the list of connections. Connect to it even though it obviously has no connection, and it should show your IP address in Odin in a blue box. It should also say it's connected on your watch.
Step 8: Head to the options tab and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked. When everything looks good, click log again and hit start, and let it do it's thing... If it fails somehow, just go from step 4 again, and get back into Wireless-download mode. You might have to disconnect and reconnect to the watch's Wi-Fi on your computer to get it to show up in Odin.
Step 9: When it finishes, press and hold onto the power button until it says restarting again, then press the power button 3 times again, and press the power button until it's highlighted on Recovery. Then press and hold until it restarts. It'll go blank for a little bit a few times, but it should be working. If it's blank for longer than a minute or two, then you might have to consider flashing again.
At this point you should be done.
I hope I was able to help you. Usually I'd do a YouTube tutorial on this (the orange hyperlink is to my YouTube channel) but I decided to do this instead. I might do a video anyways to make sure everything's clear on what to do. If I do, I'll leave a link. But after dealing with the trouble and thinking I wouldn't be able to get this fixed, I thought I'd make everyone else's process a little more convenient.
UPDATE: The video's live if you're more of a video type of person: https://youtu.be/RQUrL2lhcS4
I know this helps your profile, so if you could be so kind and hit that thanks button, I'd greatly appreciate it. It was pretty time consuming to make this, but it was worth it to know I'll be able to help out a lot of people. Especially since the latest firmware at the time of making this post isn't available for free.
Have a good day with your working Gear S3 again!

Step 3: Click BL, and scroll to wherever you extracted that ZIP folder. Go to the Firmware flash folder, and click the file that starts with BL. Then go on from there by clicking the other buttons (except for the UMS button that you can't even click) and click the file that started with the name of that button. Note: The app might freeze when you load the AP file in the app. Don't worry about that, it's supposed to do that. Just let it freeze, and it'll eventually fix itself. And once you're done, it should look something like the screenshot I attached. When everything looks good, move on to step 4.
---WAIT! Before you go to Step 4, this is a step I forgot to include, and forgot to put in that ZIP file. Eventually I'll get around to adding it. But download this, and go to NetOdin, click on the Pit tab and press OK, and the file you just downloaded... add it to NetOdin. Without this, I found out I couldn't charge my watch while it's off. It might have other negative effects too.
Step 4: Getting your watch ready. Start off by pressing and holding onto the power button, whether it's on or off, until it says restarting under the logo. When you see that, immediately keep pressing the power button. Press it 3 times until you get into a new menu.

Step 7: Go on your computer's Wi-Fi settings, and look for SM-R765T in the list of connections. Connect to it even though it obviously has no connection, and it should show your IP address in Odin in a blue box. It should also say it's connected on your watch.
Step 8: Head to the options tab and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked. When everything looks good, click log again and hit start, and let it do it's thing... If it fails somehow, just go from step 4 again, and get back into Wireless-download mode. You might have to disconnect and reconnect to the watch's Wi-Fi on your computer to get it to show up in Odin.
Step 9: When it finishes, press and hold onto the power button until it says restarting again, then press the power button 3 times again, and press the power button until it's highlighted on Recovery. Then press and hold until it restarts. It'll go blank for a little bit a few times, but it should be working. If it's blank for longer than a minute or two, then you might have to consider flashing again.
At this point you should be done.
I hope I was able to help you. Usually I'd do a YouTube tutorial on this (the orange hyperlink is to my YouTube channel) but I decided to do this instead. I might do a video anyways to make sure everything's clear on what to do. If I do, I'll leave a link. But after dealing with the trouble and thinking I wouldn't be able to get this fixed, I thought I'd make everyone else's process a little more convenient.
I know this helps your profile, so if you could be so kind and hit that thanks button, I'd greatly appreciate it. It was pretty time consuming to make this, but it was worth it to know I'll be able to help out a lot of people. Especially since the latest firmware at the time of making this post isn't available for free.
Have a good day with your working Gear S3 again!

Great contribution.
I'm glad you unbricked it! Is battery life unchanged (3.no.noo. )?

You know 3.0.0.1 fixed that right? I haven't checked much, but my battery isn't draining like crazy like it used to. Just update the weather app.

Lucky you mine gets less run time than a galaxy s6. Is it possible to switch back to 2.3.2.x with R765TUVU3CQL1?

"""Yes""" in theory. Because this Firmware is nowhere available... not free nor paid...
Code:
R765TUVU[COLOR="Green"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]BQI2/R765TTMB3BQI2/R765TUVU3BQI2
3BQI2 is valid... because same Software Revision 3
But nowhere to download... :crying:
Best Regards
Confirmed working on the SM-R765T. Nice work Latrell! If anyone finds 2.3.2.X PM me I'll cover the cost for it.
Searched for something else... but found this tiny "history":
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-33621
Best Regards
@adfree you are the man, but you already knew that
So this one below, it has 2.3.2 and it looks like the 3BQI2 and 3CQL1 might be compatible?? If you can confirm this I would be a very happy camper
R765TUVU3CQL1 Rollback to R765TUVU3BQI2- Possible? (As long as we can get a copy of the firmware)
R765TUVU3CQL1 Rollback to R765TUVU3BQI2- Possible?

I am 99,9 % sure this could work.
As same Software Revision 3.
0,1 % risk left... If Samsung found other way to blacklist BQI2 Firmware...
Rollback Prevention...
So without finding 3BQI2 as Odin package, we will never be sure if this work.

You saved my life. Thanks bro.
Hey guys, my sm-765k is bricked since i tried to flash it to remove all those weird apps in korean language. The problem is that i can't reach anymore wireless download mode because i'm stuck on Odin mode (Turn off or download via wire).

I don't know what to do. Any idea ?

Did you try this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/how-to-wireless-download-netodin-t3761587
Thanks for the useful tread.
I somehow missed the firmware model and I downloaded it to my R760. Now accessing either menu option it will only go to downloading screen, while now system status is custom and reactivation lock is on.
Before I messed up status was official and lock off.
Any chance to bring it back or is dead for good?
I cannot connect to wifi now in any way.
When you say flashed, is it resetting to the original manufacturer's defaulted settings?? My issue was that I tried to install watch camera or something like that from samsung apps, and it froze my watch. I have access to recovery, it doesnt work, I can get access to wireless but it just keeps searching for an ap and I'm not that techno to find out how to make the gear3 get recognized to a wifi signal.

Hello to all my fellow XDA members! I have literally spent the last eight days attempting to get past the FRP (Factory Reset Protection) lock on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920V). As many of you may know, it is nearly impossible, as the Verizon phones have a locked bootloader and thus we cannot install TWRP. Using Odin to reflash OEM firmware does not do the trick either, as FRP persists past all of this.
Well, I have finally come across a solution. The first problem I encountered was that I was on Nougat 7.0 firmware. You want to downgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware, which can be found by googling "N920VVRS3BPI1_N920VVZW3BPI1_N920VVRS3BPI1_HOME.zip". That is a ROM specific to the SM-N920V. If you are on any other carrier, this will NOT work for you, so you will need to find the Marshmallow ROM for your respective device.
***Please Note: This should work on any device that can be downgraded to Marshmallow 6.0.1 or earlier, but it is NOT guaranteed. I have NOT tested it on any other devices than my Note 5. Please do feel free to try and report back.
Using Marshmallow allows us to take advantage of a bluetooth bypass where we can access apps, namely Chrome and Settings. An important note about the bluetooth headset is that it can be any headset but it must have a button that invokes voice command, i.e Siri or Google Assistant. This will not work otherwise!
Firstly, I must give credit where credit is due, so credit to @MrMike2182 with his "How to downgrade from Nougat 7 to Marshmellow 6.0.1" post, which is how I got the idea in the first place. In his post, you can find a link to download the ROM. Other credit goes to GLOBAL Skills on YouTube with their "Samsung note 5 frp Google bypass as always %100 works" video. I hate the way they worded their title and it seems like one of those fake videos but trust me, it works.
What you need: (I would suggest downloading these from APKMirror for no frills or troubles. Don't download them now, wait until you get to Chrome on the device.)
Odin3 v3.12.3
Marshmallow ROM for your device
USB Cable
Bluetooth Headset
Google Account Manager 6.0.1 APK
Quick Shortcut Manager 2.4.0 APK
Steps:
Reboot into Download Mode. For the Note 5, this is acheived by pressing and holding the power button, volume down button, and home button. A screen will pop up asking if you want to continue. Press the volume up key.
Connect your device to the computer through the USB cable
In Odin, click AP and choose your Marshmallow ROM. Flash the ROM and let the phone reboot
Put your bluetooth headset in pairing mode
Tap "Emergency Call" and type 112
Once the call screen pops up, tap bluetooth, wait for the device to appear and when done pairing, end the call
Setup a wifi connection
Press the voice command key on your bluetooth headset and choose Google
Say anything, it doesn't matter, we just need to get to the search screen
Once at the search screen, type in Chrome, then choose the Chrome app
Using Chrome, download the Google Account Manager apk (wait until it finishes downloading to tap open and install it right away)
The system is going to tell you that the install is blocked as we need to enable the installation of apps from unknown sources. Tap on settings and tap the slider next to "Unknown sources". Make sure you uncheck the "Allow this installation only" box so we don't have to repeat the process.
Once the install is finished, click done. Now download the Quick Shortcut Manager and install that. When that install is done, open the app.
In the "Input keyword to filter" field, type in Google Account Manager. Tap on it to expand the tasks. Tap on the first one that says "Type Email and Password" (NOT the .EduLoginActivity one).
Tap Try, which will take you to a screen prompting you for your password. In the upper right hand corner, tap the three dots for the "Browser Sign-In" option, and acknowledge the terms.
Now login using whatever Google account you want associated with the phone. It might take a while, don't worry.
Restart the phone. When it restarts, keep tapping next to get through the setup process. When you reach "Just a sec...", this might also take a while. Do not worry :silly:
Done! You can finish out the setup process however you like. Enjoy your phone!
wow, awesome, thanks!!! worked like a charm on my sm-n920v
Skimmed this over and seen the "dial 112" part in step 5.
This will indeed phone the police.

Anybody want to test out my kernel image. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Hl90m3sKz3rQVv7CCziHkA3hiV2m7qyn I think I found out what is causing no root/ no boot on the verizon note 5. Just download my zip, unpack set aside. Now split your booted boot.img and copy name of zImage in your split image folder. Rename downloaded Image to the name of your zimage and put in your booted split image folder replacing your exisiting zimage. Repack and install into your device. See if it boots and give root privilege.
I cant test because I dont have sm-n920v no more, but applied verizon code to my sm-N920p kernel and I got the no boot, or stuck on galaxy note screen that happens when you try to do with verizon note 5. I removed code and kernel booted.
Hello
I've been given a GW 4 recently. However, I have a not very new, but still working phone, which is a Redmi Note 4 (mido). At the beginning I've had no problem with the connection. I was able to install directly from the store the main apps needed: Samsung wereable (old gear) and g. watch 4 plugin. And it connected perfectly. Nevertheless, some other apps needed (samsung health and health monitor) are not available for my phone (due to android version). So, to try them, I reseted the watch and connected it to a newer Samsung Phone that I was lended. I had everything working ok but it was just to test all the functions temporaly since I'm planning (but not yet) to buy a new phone and I returned the Samsung phone to his owner.
For these reason I tried to connect the watch to redmi again, but now it's impossible to make it connect. There must be some issue with the phone or something because it detects the watch sometimes, but it happens that bluetooth given code to connect is random and does not match the one that appears in the watch, or it provides a new code in the phone again while it is already in the connecting procedure, things like that. Normally connection hangs when it reaches 80% or so.. I tried a few things:
-hard reset in the watch (via recovery)
-uninstalling and install the samsung apps
-installing older versions of the apps
-reseting network settings (it cleans bluetooth list of devices)
-cleaning bluetooth app cache and changing bt device name-
-Some other things that I cant remember to no avail
Any idea on how to proceed without factory reset the phone?
Thank you
Do you have more than one Google Account on the phone? I had to sign out of them all bar my main one and it worked.
Hello, I did not realise about this issue so I went through all the possible google accounts that may have included the device, and I remove it from all of them (4 in total)
But still no connection. The best I can achive is "Please finish the config in smartphone" in the watch and stuck at 88% of "preparing your watch" in the smartphone. But even when this happens it seems like Samsung wereable feels like the watch disconnects and it asks again to search for a device and to pair with a different bt code, while samsung watch 4 plugin stays 88% progress of connection.
It's quite strange. It must be some problem with the plugin.
After a while it says in the watch that connection was not possible with the phone. And it restablish factory values itself.
