This is my experience with ,Google Assistant on my Galaxy watch 4 .
Since i installed Google Assistant
from day one i had hardly seen/found
Google Assistant ,draining my watch battery .
I have Hey Google ,enabled 24/7 and it overall ,works fine a few hiccups here and there .
Here ,is a few screenshots of my Watch usage (in standby ,always listening Hey Google ,enabled)
After reading numerous post about GA on watch draining i also wanted to post my positive side of story ...
Am i just fortunate /lucky ....?
GA hardly features ,in list .
Just to clarify ,
i do accept that others users
do have noticeable battery drain form
G A ...
However this is my experience so far
with G A .

Just to add to my post above .
Been thinking (on my morning run )what possible reasons could be behind ,some of the excessive battery drain, by GA . some users are experiencing .
One of the reasons could be, that a lot of
users on XDA and Reddit ,installed
the "mod versions " of Google Assistant
as a system app, on their watches .
I know this ,as i read the numerous post
on the relevant threads (XDA and Reddit )
I also sideloaded the mod version of GA ,on my watch ,but just a few days before official version of GA ,i uninstalled the mod version
I then did a factory reset on my watch, as i had to , pair it with my upgraded phone .
Just wondering now ,
how many users ,that now have battery drain ,never uninstalled the mod version of GA and just installed
official GA over it .....or otherwise
did uninstalled , mod version of GA ....."(remember its now a system app )
and then installed official GA.
Thus not doing a factory reset on watch, incase something (system app )got corrupted ,with the uninstalling process .?
I know it's not necessary to do factory reset, but if you learnt "lessons from the past" (like me )
...peace of mind ....plays a big part in doing this .
i doubt if many users ,would admit
to doing this .(as described above )
Further ,i have to add ...yes ....
I know, there could be other reasons ,also .
Good luck
I have definitely noticed battery draining way faster after the last update and Google assistant integration. It's worth mentioning though that it is not Google assistant per se draining the battery, however I now finish the day with abt 30%, whereas before I had abt 55-60%.
I also had similar difficulties with assistant but i had installed the modded version. I also did a factory reset and now all works as it should. GA uses about 3% with hey, google always on.

Has anyone noticed if their Huawei Health has stopped linking with GF and supplying data even though it's connected
Not sure if due to recent changes in GF or HH.

i've never been able to view heart rate data on GF.
I have previously but with the recent updates to Huawei Health and Google Fit no data is linked anymore - to get data into GF I now have to use Fit for activity tracking.
I have the same problem. Just a couple of weeks ago, Huawei Health was able to share my steps data with Google Fit. Then Google Fit updated and it's no longer getting that data. From what I can see on Google Play, HH hasn't been updated since Aug 4, 2018. So, looks like Google changed something that Huawei will have to account for.
Until then, I'm going to try reverting Google fit using APK Mirror.

Huawei won't do anything - their stance is that we contact google ourselves
I can inform you that you can use both applications when connecting the watch, although Huawei Health is recommended as it offers more features.
As for the Google Fit application, since it extracts information from our application (and not vice-versa), you will need to find out from Google if they fully support the Huawei Health or the Huawei Watch in order for their app to work properly.

i just noticed that after the recent Google Fit update, I had to open the app on my watch. in doing so, i went through a series of prompts, and eventually enabled the heart rate monitor. now, Google Fit on my phone shows my heart rate data (but only since enabling it on the phone). i know that this does not appear to sync with HH, but it does give the data you could be seeking.
hope this helps.
I get the heart rate through Google Fit as well, but only through the GF side previously you also got it from Huawei Health, my issue is that the other activity data in Huawei Health is no longer synced to GF and instead to get activities showing properly you have to use the GF activity and not HH one

I presume you are referring to the apps on your phone, not just the data in the watch?
so maybe you mean that you use the HH app in the watch to track your activity, and GF is not showing that?
from my experience, GF is tracking my activity regardless of what app I use to track (I use Map My Run). so I don't think it is a sync issue with HH to GF, but more of GF syncing from your watch to your phone. in my opinion, the two apps are redundant, so I'll probably wind up deleting Huawei's Health and Wear apps from my phone.
Both, HH has to store its data in your phone app before it gets synced to GF - this no longer happens after the update. GF will track my activity but not as it should (ie if I started an activity via HH this would end up being logged in GF stating it came from HH, but this no longer happens, you just get basic tracking. If I start the activity using GF then this gets transferred to GF properly so is in my app on phone and on webpage.
Previously I only needed to do everything through HH and this would sync across to GF, but this is no longer the case.
I used to use MapMyWalk but that doesn't use the GPS on watch and they had that major data breach, so wary about using Under Armour products now
I noticed today my data wasn't synched properly for some time, looks like since GF introduced this new system.
Fixed it by going into HH and disconnected from GF then reconnected.

I'm sorry for the late reply. I don't think it fixed the problem.
I uninstalled Huawei Health over a year ago and haven't used it, or the watch, since. I can't remember what things I tried, but, I'm guessing nothing worked and I stopped using it.
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.

While thats fine for now, you will be force upgraded at some point via firmware....we're looking for a permanent solution that doesnt require these tricks, because i had my own tricks that worked for a year, and then no more

no its broken for me and none of the tricks i used for over a year now work...
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

Samsung doesn't care what version of Google Play Services/Store you run, theyre testing for Knox or root, also youre using a beta of Google Play Services, which i would never do...especially after ive seen the downsides over many years
Hi guys,
Its my first watch n hence am over whelmed by the information that I found regarding activation of Google assistant , ECG and BP for the indian version of the Samsung galaxy Watch 4.
I am on the latest os version one 4.5 ui but still cant figure out how to activate the google assistant.
I have already updated to the latest version on the watch but the "open on phone to activate" does nothing in the phone. Not sure where I am going wrong.
Also, I found a thread asking me to sideload the assistant go app but again there are 4 variants of the app in there. x64,x86 n what not. So couldn't understand which one to use.
Also, for ECG n BP if anyone could share any useful info on how to install them in India, it would be a great help.
Phone: Xiaomi Redmi note 10 pro ( android ver 12) ( Miui ver 13.0.5)
Watch os: 4.5 latest one in india
Thanks
I believe the Google app you want to side load is the x86 nodpi
As for the ecg and bp, Dante has a guide on this forum on how to install his modded Samsung health app on the watch and the phone to get all that working.
Hey thanks, I sideloaded the Google go assistant that I found on a "how to" guide online. But i cant set it as a default assitant in my watch. It works as long as i hit the app button in my watch. Neither can I set it as a long press shortcut instead of bixby. Funnily, I can do all this in my parents samsung phone by just changing the language.........but not in my xiaomi phone. Cant figure whats so different in them for google assistant to work on while not on the other.
Hi,
I got a Fossil Gen.6 Smartwatch and struggled a lot to pair it with my Oneplus 8 Pro (OOS12 + UB + Root). Staying on the setup screen on the watch is very frustrating, and hopefully, i found a workaround.
I browsed the web a lot and have seen this fix only once, so i intend to share it widely to raise awareness. I also posted it on Oneplus Community forums.
Issue :
At first boot, the watch asks to download Wear OS by Google on a phone. In my case, if i download Wear OS from the Play Store, the app keeps saying "An error occured while finding devices" and i can't setup the Watch. Is the watch shy ? Why won't she come up to the phone ?? Is my phone wrong ? Did i get a defective watch out of factory ?? Many questions the google help page won't answer... You can read the Google troubleshooting guide on your phone but none of these tips work (to me)...
Fix :
Just uninstall Wear OS from your phone, and install this one from here or use the apk attached
Virustotal check here
It seems using Wear OS 2.0.0, (Android Wear at the time), works slightly better !
Before the setup with Android Wear, don't forget to factory reset / unpair the Watch if you connected it to another phone before (for me it worked on a P30 Lite but i don't own the device..). Once the setup is done and you have access to the watch, you can update Android Wear to Wear OS though Play Store
I have no clue if it's phone related, android OS version related, app permission related but this may work on other smartwatch too.
Creds to a redditor on an old thread
Cheers
Hi everybody,
Today I noticed that Google Fit is available for Galaxy Watch 4!
If you go to the store on your watch you will find Google Fit. I installed it and it works on the watch!
Do you also have it and if so: what do you prefer Samsung Health or Google Fit?

Google fit for Watch 4 has been available for many months .
I had Google Fit ( Watch 4 ) installed , as well as Google Fit for Phone .
I used a 3rd party app , Health Sync app , to sync my data (Samsung health ,Google Fit and Polar .)
Health Sync app indicated that i had to uninstall ,Google fit on watch, as it was causing errors / duplication of my daily data ,
So my setup is on Watch 4 is Samsung Health ,when i go for my daily jog i also wear a Polar M Vantage M400 watch with chest strap .
I also found that in my daily exercises , my Hart Rate readings ( the Samsung Watch 4 , as well as all my previous Samsung watches ) to be , not as reliable / consistent with its readings ,
If i compare my Polar watch ,with chest strap ( 99 % accuracy , hart rate readings) to all my previous Samsung Watches and my Watch 4 ,i found that when you really start to " exercise" ( increasing your pace /sprinting etc , the Watch 4 was slow to adjust / way off ,with its Hart Rate readings sometimes ,by at least 20 bpm .
Above reason is why i sync all my data with 3rd party app to avoid duplication
good luck
