PSA: VOIP Calls (WhatsApp, Viber etc) On Gear S3 Working On Android 10 - Samsung Gear S3

I recently switched to the Oneplus 7 Pro, updated to Android 10 and to my surprise, the calls made through WhatsApp and other similar apps can now be routed through Gear S3.
I also tested this on Pixel XL running Android 10 and so I assume it should work on all Android 10 devices.
Just wanted to let you guys know in case it hasn't been mentioned already.

Can you tell me how you got your plugin working?? I'm on a Pixel XL and it keeps telling me to check my software and update. I couldn't install from the play store it said my device was incompatible. So I downloaded the app but I get the update message... Any help would be amazing! Can't use my watch at all...

Hmm. Never ran into that issue. Maybe try hiding magisk manager and also using magisk hide for the three apps related to gear S3.
Also, in my case, the apps were available on the play store.
Are you sure you're using the latest apks?

Running Lineage 17 ROM may have been the issue as it was incompatible in the Play Store. Found a solution today figured I'd post it here as this was a top link for my search and hopefully it will help others.
Reset your watch and remove all Samsung related apps from your phone.
Install these two APK's and your back in business
https://www.dropbox.com/s/37untd7w3gkdlzs/gearoplugin_2.2.03.apk?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/en5dco911boyu17/watchmanager_2.2.27.apk?dl=0
For me, these plugins were incompatible in the Play store and many others I tried did not work. Only these 2 versions got me up and running again, so I figured I'd share them from my DB to hopefully help others.

Uber App won't work - Chinese Version Mate 9 in Canada

Hey guys, please help.
I am using the 6 GB premium Chinese version, but I live in Canada using all the google play services, ect. Google maps seems to work fine, but when I request a ride using my Uber app, it fails and gives me an error when it needs to obtain GPS information from the phone. The app works fine on other devices. I have already rebooted, updated, and given permissions to the app with no effect.
Just for the time-being I use my Mate 9 as a wifi hotspot and then use the app on another device like my Ipad, so its not the end of the world. That's how I got to work today haha. But it would be nice to use it on my phone, its one of my favorite apps. If anyone knows of anything I could try to troubleshoot please let me know!
Anybody?
You check permissions? Whitelist section?

I tried that, given the app full permissions and allowed secondary launch, ect. I have rebooted and force closed, opened again, and still get the same error.
I will take a screenshot later and post it here when I have time.

I got the same problem with P9 Chinese version. With another car-calling service app like Grab it's work well. But only Uber can't. I think problem from the firmware
Are you sure that your Uber app is the latest version?
I am also having the same problem. Whenever I press to request Uber, it shows an error. Tried in many ways, updated Uber, uninstalled the app, etc but I am still getting the errors. Can anyone help pls?
make sure dont use the HiApp version but gplay to install the app, recently I had issues with an app just not working anymore after I installed from gplay and then updated from HiApp. after this I disable all notifications for updates and auto updates from HiApp so everything now comes from gplay, my uber app works fine tho but it is a little slow on getting gps signal sometimes not sure why, my way around this is start gmaps first and then start uber app. being thinking about rebranding to internatinal version (maybe you could do the same) but still researching for it.
just tried uber for the first time after update to B175 in my chinese mate 9 and I got an error about processing my request. not sure why is doing this now.
I found a way to do it, apparently the problem is just with requesting the drive once you do that you can track and pay from the app itself.
I used https://m.uber.com/ to get my driver and then used the app for everything else. It is an odd but faste solution until we find out why the uber app is not working on MHA-AL00 devices.

OnePlus 6 incompatible with Samsung Pay plugin on Gear S3?

Just got the one plus 6 but can't get the Samsung pay gear plugin to install. Tried to install the Samsung gear and apps via APKs and got error saying this device isn't supported!
Same for anybody else
FIXED: Latest version of samsung pay APK doesn't work.
Downloaded much older version and it worked like a charm:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-gear-1-5-6306-android-apk-download/download/
You might need to enable "install unknown apps"
You installed the Samsung gear app from the playstore? Are you rooted?
Same issue here. Not rooted. Stock Oxygen OS 5.1.5. Samsung gear app installed from Google Play store and everything seems to be working with the watch, it connects fine and shows notifications and such. Just try to open Samsung Pay on the watch and it says to open the gear app on the phone and install the Samsung Pay plugin. Click Ok and it opens up the gear app on my phone and then get the error as follows.
"Installation failed, try again later"

Im having sort of troubles..
#1 I had to install the apk for Samsung Pay for Gear but 3 times since launch my card was deleted, just like S-Pay was reset
#2 Samsung Pay doesnt show up in the Samsung Gear app on my phone, region restrictions? Beacuse I used the APK?
This is not working with the Oneplus 6 and the new Galaxy Watch ?
Hate to bump an old thread, but considering the OP6T in the next couple of days. Do you still need to use an old APK to get pay to work? And does updating it also break S-Pay? Probably going to stay stock at least for a while on the new phone either way, but it will influence whether I go forward with the OP or go with a Samsung instead...

The problem now is you can't get Samsung wearable app from playstore because it says "device not compatible". However, you can get everything from apkmirror. It all works fine.

I honestly am not sure about that. Can't say that I've had an update on the wearable apps that I recall... I do know that with the pay plugin, it updated itself when I started it up.
Ok regarding the question itself - my OP6 Worms l well with my Gear S3.

Google Assistant Disabled

Google Assistant on my Nokia 6.1 suddenly disabled, I use it on a daily basis to make phone calls and all. It was working fine till the evening but later at night I just found it broken while trying to unlock my device with voice commands. And I did not make any changes to settings or installed any apps and the app is also up to date, so I am totally clueless about what just happened to it. And it is a very handy feature for my day to day use so kind of disappointed. I have searched through web and YouTube yet couldn't find any working solution for me. I have attached two screenshots that might help you understand the problem. Also the setup wizard is on loop asking to setup voice module again and again uninstalling updates/clearing data/cache didn't help either. So I am just out of options here. Any information on this issue would be helpful.
Same on my phone and also on my Lenovo Tab4, maybe the Google app is fu*ked, what version do you have? My is 8.15.9.21
Sent from my Lenovo TB-8704F using XDA Labs
Mine is version 8.13.15.21 and it just happened all of a sudden. And there's no update available at the playstore.

I'm a beta tester of the Google app, but if you have that issue on the stable version, then it is weird. I don't use Assistant so much, so I don't know when it stopped working.
If you need it, you can try to delete data for the Google app, and see if it works.
I will wait for the next version...
Edit: I also asked in G+ community, and I received this comment:
Yes many users having different devices are facing this issue dont worry google has acknowledge this issue and it will be in next update

Yeah I also opted in beta to check if something works but no gain also tried installing another version newer than mine (8.14.15.21) from apkmirror again no success. And if I activate it by long pressing the home button it will give me the welcome screen everytime, seems the app is on a loop!

Question Samsung health not syncing data between devices

I just got a galaxy watch 4 and recording anything on the watch won't show up on my phone. I have to mention that my phone is rooted and have a patched samsung health app on it. Does anyone know a solution?

Everything you just said is why it wont work
Recently there was a change in Samsung Health that ruined the bypasses (spoofing a different device, which worked for eons) i and others used to get it working previously
Currently there is no fix
The patched Samsung Health (not to be confused with the Samsung Health Monitor MOD that @Dante63 gifted us) that you may find on the Internet will sync to phone but has never synced to Samsung cloud/backup, all data will remain local
There are attempts being made to find a new workaround (its sad that Samsung seems to think they can dictate how you use your devices. Its part of the reason i loathe them) but its extremely slow going on my attempts (down to me and lack of time) and theres no ETA
I currently use Google Fit, which is at least some sort of plan b....yes i like the Samsung Health app, but when they restrict its usage, well that hurts not only us, but them, as i wont recommend Samsung Watches to anyone i know while this nonsense continues....my next watch will perhaps be a Pixel, and if Google make a decent Pixel phone again, ill be back to that too (last good one was the 2XL)
If the data of the watch cannot be synchronized with the mobile phone, you can try to install Samsung Health of version 6.21.2.007. It has been found that many people have this problem

I was previously using the app patched by adil192 (https://github.com/adil192/SamsungAppsPatcher) which synced with my samsung account but I found out that it doesn't sync with the wearable app. So my solution was to downgrade to samsung health 6.19.5 which fixed my issues. I still hope a fix will come, not really a fan of using a version that is a year old.

Yup, i pointed this out earlier....not even the old versions work anymore, even unrooted....
Edit, it doesn't work anymore. Less than 24 hours.
I was able to make it work. On the Smartphone I have the latest version 6.22.2.007. On the Smartwatch I had to uninstall the Samsung Health app, so what really happens is that the app reverts to a previous version, the Smartwatch version is 6.22.1. Everything works fine since 16 hours and counting.
I do not allow the app to be automatically updated on the Smartwatch.

blame Samsung, they charge you an arm and a leg for their devices and then dictate how you can use them
in the age of right to repair and companies being hammered for that, its hard to see why you shouldnt have a right to do what you want with your device either....im back to hating those asshats again.....
No problem whatsoever here. Samsung Health version 6.22.2.007.
My guess is that Google Play-services and Google Play Systemupdate of the phone play an important role in comms between apps and services. I actively keep Google Play-services and Google Play Store up to date, making use of available APKs in APK Mirror if necessary.
My current versions on S21U:
Google Play-Services 22.33.14
Google Play store: 32.1.10-21
Google play Systemupdate: 1 July 2022

Question Can't install Cambridge Audi Minx Xi (amplifier) app: Help needed!

Hi all. Busy installing all the apps I need on my just received p7p.
One of the most important ones is the app to manage my amplifier, a Cambridge Audio Minx Xi.
That app runs fine on my Note 20 Ultra with Android 13 but on the p7p I can't find the app anymore in the play store but I can see int in the play store on my Note 20.
So I extracted an apk on the Note and running it on the p7p gives the message 'you can't install the app on your device'
I checked the Cambridge Audo website and they refer to one of there other apps as the Minx Xi app is no longer maintained and supported. However, that app doesn't connect and refers back the the other app. I'm in a loop with that.
Does anybody have a clue on how to get this fixed?

Hi, if the app isn't 64 bit, then you can't install it on the Pixel 7 pro.

This isn't specific to Android 13, but more the P7P specifically. Google decided to ship the device without 32bit app support. There is a magisk module in this forum that will bring back the ability to run 32bit apps. You will need to be rooted to use it. I haven't tried it, but it seems to work for others: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-magisk-enabling-32-bit-support-for-apps.4521029/unread
Ouch...
Was was hoping to postpone root for as while...
Thanks for the guidance, much appreciated!
