I can't find Bixby apps installed on my galaxy watch 4. I can't even download it from the Google Play Store. How can I enable Bixby on my galaxy watch 4? Thanks in advance if anyone helps.
When I got my watch a month ago Bixby was already on it. I didn't have to install it.
On the watch go to: Settings-Apps-Choose Default Apps-Bixby
If Bixby is not on the list, try software update or try a hard reset to factory settings.

Since I did master reset my note 4 and reinstalled gear manager straight from play store, auto lock phonr screen in not available on my setup. Do I miss something or feature was removed or I need to enable something to have that feature back?

It was removed. The function is now served by Smart Lock in Android which you can find in Lock screen and security in Settings.
Hi
I have just bought an S7 Edge to replace my Note 3 and now need to switch my S2 to connect to the Edge instead. Does anyone know of an online guide anywhere which would tell me what I should do please?
Just go to the watch settings (on the watch) and reset it to factory settings. Then you can find and pair the watch from the Gear Manager on the new phone.
Thanks, presumably I will lose all the settings on the watch and have to start from scratch?
There is not so many settings on the watch itself.
That was surprisingly easy. I did a light reset and went from there. I had written down all the details such as the order of my widgets and quickly had it looking just as it was with my old phone. Even kept the data from My Notes in Gear.
Yes, light reset is the way to go. You can go into your Samsung account and re-download all previous downloaded apps. I had to do this twice: going from S6 to Note 7 and after replaced recalled Note 7
What is light reset?

Light reset keeps all of your personl data, but delete all downloaded apps
I have a Gear S2 Classic, and recently had to do a factory reset. When getting everything back to the way I like, I noticed that "Messages" is no longer an option when selecting apps for the shortcut widget (the widget that allows for four app shortcuts).
Messages is still available in the main app menu, and is working fine. I can add Messages as a "complication" on various watch faces, just not the shortcut widget.
I pair the watch with a new (battery replaced) Galaxy Note 7.
Thoughts???
Thanks in advance.
Messages has not been an option on my S2 Classic since I got it in that widget. You had it once? Hope some one can shed light on this as it would be nice to have.

Yes. I purchased my Gear S2 Classic maybe 9 months ago, and always had the option of adding Messages to the shortcut widget.
FYI... its a Bluetooth / WiFi version of the watch. Firmware = R732XXU2DPG1.
When pairing the watch to my new phone (Note 7), Messages seems to have disappeared from the shortcut widget list of apps -- I did a factory reset on the watch..
I liked having my "communication" shortcuts on one widget: Message, E-mail, Phone, & Buddy.
Having the same problem. Gear S2 classic and. Galaxy S7.
Same problem hear after switching to the S7 phone. Wondering if the Gear does not recognize it as a Galaxy device therefore does not give the widget option.
It's interesting this whole thread is Gear S2 Classic. Wonder if that could be the problem? Gear S2 Classic with the new S7 and Note 7 phones.
I really miss having it on the widget.
I still have it on mine. I have s2 classic and s7.

I contacted Samsung and they said because the factory reset didn't do anything I should take my watch back to the store to see if they would send it in or replace on warranty. I will let you all know how that goes
Back to old phone - still no shortcut
Well... I had to return my Note 7 and revert back to my old phone -- a Galaxy S4 running AT&T stock (but rooted) Lollipop.
I thought the widget shortcut would "magically" reappear after reverting back to a phone / OS where I know the shortcut was present; however, no such luck.
After performing [another] factory reset on my watch and reconnecting it to my Galaxy S4, the widget shortcut is still missing.
Oh well. Obviously, this is not a huge deal; just a feature I had at one point, that seemingly disappeared for no reason.. I just use watch faces that support shortcuts and / or access messages through notifications.
This just happened on my classic this weekend. Hard reset didn't do anything.
Installed the newest update this evening. It's back !
I just got an S2 watch today and got it all set up. On my phone in the Samsung Gear app there is an option to get more watch faces. When I click it I am advised "Galaxy Apps is disabled. Click settings to enable." galaxy apps is enabled but I get this message every time. I have rebooted phone and watch. No joy. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Hi guys,
after the update of my gear s 3 frontier (non LTE version) i'm unable to set any watchface correctly - only those which are from Samsung's store.
scenario:
you try to setup a watch face from watchmaker, after a reset the app unable to set the watch face and sets up the default watch face (same with face).
some of my walktrough to isolate the problem:
i've manage to check that if it's a digital watch face (on watchmaker) it will do the problem, if not, it will work normally,
on facer it's happening with no matter what watchface.
i've tried to hard reset my gear s3, delete the watchmaker and Facer app from my phone and reinstall it,
there was no difference.
Thanks for youre help
some one?!

I have been noticing this also, after rebooting the watch it goes back to the default watchface. It is a minor pain to reset the watchface I want everyday but I guess its something we need to deal with until they fix it, or stop using WatchMaker.
the problem is that i cant use MR.Time or Facer to, each app with its own issues, so i dont know what to do

Try clearing the cache and deleting all data associated with the apps ( Facer, gear app, etc.). Then delete them and clear your phone cache by turning off your phone and doing the volume up, power, and home button combo (I think thats it). and clear your phones cache and reboot. After that reset your watch. Reinstall apps and see if this works. I did that and it worked.
