Hi guys,
I have recently bought a galaxy watch 4 (bluetooth version) and my phone is Samsung S8. My friend is able to install apps like messages for wear os and nike run club from the google play store in the watch (Below images with the watch). However I cannot find those apps in my watch play store, I have those apps in my phone but they are not showing up after I sync the phone with the watch either.
I tried to install them from google play website then I found out it says those apps are not compatible with my watch. Any ideas how I can install them on the watch please? Thanks a lot!

Probably because the Galaxy Watch 4 is the only Wear OS 3 device and a lot of apps are not compatible probably. Hopefully a future update will sort this out.

It's up to the app developers of said apps to "sort it out" nothing to do with the OS
I have the same issue. Had "messages for wear os" on my watch 4. Was working really fine. The I changed the watch (other colour). So on the new watch the app doesn't show in playstore or in "apps on smartphone".
Is there a workaround? With that app I could send WhatsApp messages at any time.
Edit: I sideloaded the app and it works good. Install wear installer and follow the guide (to start adb over wifi). Download messages for wear os on your phone. Then you can choose the app at the wear installer to install it on the watch. Done

Hi there! I returned Galaxy Gear and got SM2 instead. So far I'm happy with it, but I just can't stand the icons on my watch. They are really terrible and whole different style than the ones I'm using on my phone. Is there any way to change them? Editing APK? Connecting SmartWatch to PC?
Looking for help!
Thanks.

no galaxy s3 support which is ridiculous (if not custom rom, then my phone would still be on 4.1.2 version of android). tried custom rom slimbean 4.3 and galaxy gear just do not pair, do not even show current time until connected through bluetooth. too many troubles with it.
WOW a SmartWATCH !
Be no good for me, my fingers would cover half the screen at a time :laugh:
i had some luck with editing the icons! i just backuped up the original APK and replaced some graphic files inside, signed apk and installed again. not all apk work this way though, but the smartwatch looks so much better now.
and yeah, these are ios icons.
if you press on music icon it gives you control over poweramp music player on my s3, and if i press the maps icon it show me current location on the map.

Download APK from APKMirror: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...roid-tv-5-5-15-leanback-android-apk-download/
From Amongtech's article;
The update includes several improvements like new ways to discover apps and apps that used to only be able to install from the web play store are now shown in categories inside the AndroidTV Play Store.

That's AMAZING can't wait to get home lol
Got it mine, you can see a lot more apps now, still very few useful ones but lots of games. I even spotted ES File Explorer which I know some people have said they had a issue installing after a recent update.
Tested it a bit yesterday, very very nice improvement IMO. I could be wrong but I think it's still missing a few compatible apps..
It's getting somewhere at least, we might see more over the next couple of days
can this be installed on cm12.1 with gapps-lpmr1-x86-leanback-20150524-signed.zip or is it only for factory os?

I posted a comment about this in the official CM 12.1 thread. You can install the APK without doing anything special on CM 12.1 from within the OS. There is no need to boot into recovery to flash this.
I installed the apk and now the Play Store won't load anything. Just spinning. Anyone else have this issue? On a side note anyone know how to rollback to the previous version?
Goto your app settings and clear the cache and data. See if that helps

I'm having the same problem, but I didn't side-load. I just got the player today and in the apps it shows this version, but the store won't load. I factory reset it about a half hour before this post
edit: factory reset and letting it sit fixed it. Must have been queued to update the app and was just waiting until it was installed. Took like an hour of sitting overall.
Finally....
This update was long overdue. Google should have done this when the Nexus Player was released.
So I pair my Gear S3 with my PH-1 and got that all going just fine. Pairing another phone always involves resetting the watch so I have to go download a few apps afterwards and I can't! I get an error from the Gear app's store saying "This device does not support Gear."
Everything else has worked fine up to this point.
Also looks like I can't install/use Samsung Pay for it either.
Super lame.
Had this problem on the mi mix and the G6. I'm pretty sure Samsung has to update the app... It got updated pretty quickly for the G6 but never got fixed for the mix... Pretty much a crap shoot on if they will update it or not.
S3 works perfect on my mi mix running resurrection. Got the s3 to connect to my essential but software crashes when I try to install Samsung pay.

Ya, I'm paired and running ok. Getting notifications and all that. Just no additional apps or Samsung Pay.

It didn't used to work on the stock rom on the Mix. Maybe it does now, not sure as I don't have a Mix anymore or a Gear s3..lol
I don't think Samsung knows WTF they're doing. Just chatted with support about this (after being directed to one support site based on my Play Store review that later told me that wasn't the right place to go)...
Here's how that went:

I MIGHT try to chat again and get a different person but this is ridiculous. They apparently want Essential to update their phone, because it is new, to work with the Gear app...
Hi you all!
I've seen a couple of posts about gpay issues already but haven't found any about this one. I've bought my Galaxy Watch 4 BT version a couple of days ago and install gpay on it, I was able to add card, do the verification but then it asked me to set it as default payment and when I opened NFC setting the Gpay just simply not showing there like below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried a couple of things:
- I restarted my watch/reinstalled the app/cleared cache for wearable app and gpay
- I disabled samsung pay through adb
- I installed older version of GPay using adb
Neither of those options worked, I was the closest with the last one, when I installed older version it did ask me to set it as default but I was able to dismiss the pop up and I was able to see my added card (the payment didn't work at store though) and weird thing happend after some time, when I opened the app again I got message like this
which doesn't seem right cause I'm using GPay constantly on my phone plus it allowed me to download the app from the store (on the watch) and add the card :|
Has anyone experienced the same issue and have some suggestions what else I could do to make it work?
Some devices detail:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy A7
Watch: Galaxy Watch 4 (Bluetooth version)
- Software version: R870XXU1EVA8
- System version: 11
- Wear OS version: 3.2
Versions of GPay app I tried on my watch:
- 2.141.414039067
- 2.137.401329300
- 2.135.389276953
- 2.72.209520801
Hey,
I have the exact same problem with my Galaxy Watch 4 LTE.
Already contacted Google, but they're blaming Samsung.
Paying seems to be a nightmare with this watch, until yesterday it wasn't even possible to add new cards. Now you can add cards, but can't select the app in the NFC settings...
At least I havent gotten the "not launched" notification yet.
There's also a thread in the Samsung community: https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/wearables/google-pay-on-galaxy-watch-4-not-working/m-p/4373741
Hi!
Thanks for the reply and for sharing the link! I tried this yesterday https://forum.xda-developers.com/posts/85581263/ and it worked but today morning somehow my watch got unpaired from my phone and I had to do reset and configure everything from the beginning so I guess wasn't worth it after I reset my phone tho and I change the location seems like I'm able to install the app from the google pay and use the app but it got disabled all the time for some reason
New apps for this very old but still great smart band on google play to install.
Filesmaster to manage and transfer files Filesmaster Gear Fit 2/Pro
and Shopping Lists Shopping Lists Fit 2/pro
It tested Filesmaster. You must install Samsung Gear manager and connect by Bluetooth.
Otherwise will not install.
and GBc Emulator too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slandmedia.gbcemulatorinstaller

I'm wearing my Gear Fit2 Pro right now. I was under the impression that apps could only be installed through Galaxy Store so I've never even bothered to search the Play Store! Thanks for the info.

As I know it is only way to to install apps on Fit 2. Samsung store is going be closed for this smartband. And there never weren't normal apps for this band in Samsung apps store.
I have this band on my wrist for years now. It has great hardware (gps, wifi, good and big display and battery time) but always missing good apps to use this capibilites. I have investigated problem and seems Sasmung hasn't allowed to publish normal apps only watch faces.
I will try it, Thanks for the info.
