Question Can't pair galaxy watch 5 with redmi phone

Question Can't pair galaxy watch 5 with redmi phone - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi Everyone,
I have a Redmi K30 ultra using CN MIUI13 with google service enabled, but i can't pair my phone with galaxy 5.
I tried pair them using Samsung wearable giving all permision to the app, but i got below message:

}
Also i tried pair with samsung health(giving all permission) from accessories(Settings -> Accessories -> Smartwatch -> Register). After registered samsung account, the app crashed and give me this error:
The last one i tried was using Wear OS of china version. but it just stopped in the pair process.
Pluging installed:
Someone know why i can't pair them?
Thanks

There's something went wrong with compatibility, I guess. Try Restarting both devices and try again.
For testing you can try with another devices.

I had the same problem using a Realme GT (CN version) and a Watch 4. It could be because of Google Services that the chinese phones haven't. In my case, I got solved doing the follow.
1- You must have installed the Galaxy Wearable app and the Watch 5 plug in. I saw that you already have.
2 - I thinks that the problem is that the watch can't pair when you use the Waer app, but when you try to pair using the Wear OS app (CN version), you watch should be able to pair with your phone, so in this moment you have to try to start with the start the pair process with the Galaxy Wearable (you don't close the Waer OS, leave it in background).
This worked for me. I hope you can do it.
Sorry my english.

Hi ljleonardo1,
I tried with your way and i got the same error using samsung health app to pair then
it's said Couldn't set up your watch

When I tried the first time, I putted the code to pair it and got the message "The watch ins't support in this phone", but when started the same process with the Wear OS (CN version) I could pair the watch (the process stopped in the same place that you, but I checked in the bluetooth menu of Android, scrolling down, and I saw that it was pair). In this moment I tried with the Galaxy Wearable again and I could pair it.

it still doesn't work for me, after log in samsung account, the galaxy watch 5 plugin is just crashed and give me an error.

I had the same issues pairing the watch with my Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. Tried everything for days with no success. A hard reset of my phone was the solution.

I also tried a hard reset but it's doesn't work for me. but i tried with my friend's phone which has same model as mine. he has MIUI stable version(i have beta version).
When pairing his phone with samsung wearable, the plugin wasn't start up and i couldn't do the following step. I will tried again when i swapped to stable version in my phone.

Maybe that's the solution then. Good luck!

** Please note, this guide was initially written for the GW4, but I suspect it is also likely to work for the GW5 **
Try this, in this EXACT order:
You have to install the following apps from Playstore less No.4:
1. Samsung Gear (Samsung wearable)
2. Samsung Watch 5 plugin
3. Samsung Health (SHealth)
4. Chinese version Wear OS (From appmarket)
Once the above are installed. Reset or reinitialize your watch, wait for the "Welcome" intro to start. Open up SHealth app -> click on 3 dot on the top right -> settings -> accessories -> Select Galaxy Watch 5 or Watch 5 Pro to pair up. Follow the setup accordingly. It's optional to sign in to SHealth for your watch btw. Everything will work flawlessly after that.
After you're done with the setup, close all apps via recent and you can launch Samsung Gear as per normal. If you're experiencing intermittent disconnectivity, launch Samsung Gear and lock the app in recents. Do not kill the app. I have not experienced any battery drain from it so far.
DO NOT uninstall the chinese version of the Wear OS under any circumstances. It will disconnect your watch and you won't be able to pair it back. Which means you have to unpair via SHealth, reset your watch and go through the entire setup again.

Hi Tim,
I tried with your way and still doesn't work for me, i got the same error mentioned before

Guys I found the way. I have a Remdi Note 9. I booted into safe mode, I went and just paired the phone with the watch from the Bluetooth settings. It finished successfully. Then I rebooted into the regular mode, and went on the Wear app. I tried syncing them and it just succeeded!!!!!

Hi Alexandros,
How did you pair them? i tried pair them in safe mode, i paired succefuly in bluetooth setting, but in the watch screen show the message "check your phone to complete setup" . After returned into the regular mode , the watch just show the message that connection is failed and force me to reset.

I am having the same problem with Realme 8 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro
I tried the solutions above and they did not work, samsung support just says that I must use a samsung cell phone

After pairing them I restarted both. Sorry for not being clear.

I have swapped to stable version and tried again all above solutions and they didn't work.

i use to use a galaxy watch 4 with a oppo find N (China Rom) and had the same issues and used the workaround posted earlier but i found this didnt work with the watch 5. What i had todo was as per below. Hope it might help:
China Wear OS installed (location permission given but dont open)
Samsung Health from Playstore
Galaxy Wear (from Oppo appmarket)
Didnt install galaxy watch plugin.
I went through samsung health to initiate the pairing with the GW5. This opens the wearable app which then updates automatically to latest version (same as playstore), and then downloads the necessary watch plugin and everything paired fine.
Before this i had tried everything but i think the key is to NOT have the watch 5 plugin installed when you start pairing via samsung health.
So far all seems fine with my china rom phone.
Good luck!

also make sure all background data for the 4 apps is allowed, and no battery optimisations for wear and watch plugin.

Appreciate the walkthrough.... I have a Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 but cant connect it with my Watch 5 Pro. The steps, chinese wear os, not installing the watch 5 plugin, and trying to orsi thru samsung health got me closer than ever, but alas, still csnt successfully pair the watch yet. Any tips?

Same story here, I have Xiaomi 12s Ultra and yesterday got Watch 5 Pro, tried all seps mentioned above but simply no success in connecting it with Galaxy Werable app. For me bluetooth pairing is not an issue, get it paired easily via Werable app process or via Health app, but simply further steps during setup process don't pass and can finish setup/connecting phone to the app...
I still have Galaxy Watch Active 2 which works fine, even with that watch there were few issues with connecting it with Xiaomi but it was more or less easy solved, but with this new Watch 5 Pro, for now I don't see solution

Multiple Gear Watches Connected to Same Phone?

Hello all!
I currently own a gear 2 Neo for working out and daily use. I would like to get the Gear S2 classic for work because it looks so nice, then switch over to the gear 2 Neo to workout. Can my Note 4 keep both watches connected at the same time? The gear 2 Neo had to be formatted back to factory when it initially syncs to a new phone device. If I cant multi sync the watches, it wouldn't be worth it because the device would have to be formatted over and over when I switch watches... That would take up alot of time waiting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have a gear s and gear s2 to use with my note 4... Both watches are setup with my phone but only one can connect at a time. I don't have to reset the watches because they are not being switched to a new device. My gear manager app on the phone had a drop down menu to pick the watch you want to connect with. So based on my experience I would say you should have no problem to switch between two watches here; you'll just need to connect one or the other but not both at the same time. If you choose to connect either one to a different phone entirely though, then yes you'll likely need to reset the watch.

Thanks for your help!

So same issue with the Gear s2 I got 2 watches when I try and switch watches it will not switch to the second watch without soft reset everytime. I have tried turning bluetooth off on the device prior to switching and reconnecting second watch then I get must soft reset before continuing. I tried disconnecting 1st watch then switching same result. There is no drop down menu in gear manager to switch. Now when I had the gear fit I could switch between watches whenever I wanted without soft reset. I am not connecting them both at the same time. So why is it asking for a soft reset. It is almost like it can only bind one watch to that phone. So when I switch it is asking to bind the new watch and deletes the first.

On my S4 I have Gear 1, Gear 2, Gear S and Gear S2. All can be used on the same phone without reset but only one at time. Some issue if you want install same app from the store on differents watch. Many time for example if I have an app installed on my Gear 1 and I can not install also on the Gear 2 because it said yet installed

I have 2 Samsung gear s watches so when one dies I can use the second one. But every time I connect to the next watch it requires a factory data reset. The only way either watch doesn't need reset is if it was the last one connected. How can I fix this? Neither watch has Sim card. I have tried it with my Samsung Galaxy s5 active and now Samsung Galaxy s7. Both happens same way. Need help macks152010 at Gmail.

I have two gear S3 watches, I can pair both to my S8 plus. The problem is setting up Samsung pay to use and work with two different Gear watches on the same phone, and use the same debit card. 1) both watches are to use the same debit cards. 2) One watch ("A") is active and linked to the phone. 3) setup the debit card on the phone for watch "A" using Samsung pay--all is fine to this point. On the watch SP works fine.
Now the problem: Turn off watch "A" and turn on watch "B", link "B" to the phone, proceed to setup SP. The first thing that happens is the previous working debit card is deleted and I,m prompted to re-setup the same debit card that was deleted. Now it's working for phone"B" just fine. Samsung Pay (SP) no longer works on phone "A" and will need to be setup again. Samsung Pay can't work with two gear S3 watches on the same phone. SP can only have one setup per phone, and each time you turn on a 2nd gear S3 watch, the exsisting SP setup is deleted. Why would anyone have a 2nd Gear S3 watch which will not be able to function correctly.
How does one setup two Gear S3 watches to work with Samsung Pay on the same phone? This is a MAJOR PROBLEM and needs to be addressed.

I have the same issue with samsung pay, but with my s3 and new sport. It's annoying AF. I went on samsungs forums but no trace of this being discussed. I want to start a thread there, but I feel like they're just going to be like, we didn't design this to function this way. And tell me to f off.

I have 2 iPhones ( personal and work) can I connect them both to the same S2 gear?

If I have 2 x gear fit 2, although cannot only connect via the gear app at one time, what about s health? Anyone try straight to go in to the shealth, to try to sync? does it sync both gear fit 2 at the same time?

my S2 and S3 sync fine with s health I have them set to swap over when worn

I'm having the same issue, 2 x S3 Gear Frontiers with 1 Samsung S9 Plus.....watches are forced to reset every time you try to swap them over.

Same issue
I have a Galaxy S7 phone (SM G930U, with android 7.0) and Two gear S3 Frontier Watches (SM-760, Tizen Version3.0.0.2, software version R670XXU2CRE3).
I can pair both watches using the Samasung Gear App (2.2.20.17113061) on the phone, however when I want to switch watches, autoswitch does not work. I can choose the watch from the drop down list but that will not work unless I choose to reset the watch (a full reset takes over 5 minutes and my settings are all gone every time).
Restarting the watch is not enough, it must be factory reset every time that I wish to switch watches.

I have tried every solution in this entire thread including clearing my phone system cache file. But the Gear app still forces a reset of the watch when switching from watch A to watch B. I even tried pairing both watches to my old Samsung phone (Samsung galaxy s3) with the exact same results.
Does anyone have any suggestion?

Trying to connect two Samsung Gear S3 classic to a Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Did you ever get this sorted?. Having the same problem with my two Samsung Galaxy Gear S3 classic on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ☹

From my research, it is possible to use multiple Samsung watches with the same phone, providing the watches are different models. Using multiples of the same model watch results in having to reset the next watch before it can be used.

got 2 gear2 watches on one phone working ... somewhat

I was able to get having two identical model Gear 2 watches on one phone to work several years ago, but with my latest a20, I also have the issue where the Wearables app wants to completely factory reset the watch every time i switch watches.
What I was able to do was to go directly to the bluetooth menu and let the watch connect. The Wearables app launches automatically and tries to make me select the model to pair with. I just hit the home button and then kill the Wearable app. The watch stays connected and gets/displays alerts. Also the photos/videos from the watch transfer to the gallery just fine. What it DOESNT do (that I really NEED it to do) is pass my step count data to the Health app. I'm sure if I can figure out the old version I used on my old Galaxy Mega in 2015 I can back date the Gear apps and probably get my full dual watch functionality back, but i'd rather samsung just accomodate our feature request in this thread.
Here's to wishing.

Gear Manager not working!!

Ok, Last night my Gear manager for my Gear S2 said that it was updating and then closed. I open it several times and it did the same thing! So I thought it was frelled! I removed all components of the Gear manager from my phone and any added software also rest my S2! Nothing Happened, went to the Gplay store an downloaded the gear manager again and now it installs but after I blue-tooth connects to my S2 it says make sure your phone is compatible! it is a VZ Note Edge a Samsung device that is not rooted or messed with. I need ideas and help or someone with a direct line to Samsung to ***** slap them! thanks

I too have this problem. Apparently a problem with the version of Gear App Manager specifically for Samsung phones.
I spent over an hour with Samsung support via their Live Chat tool. Bottom line is that their new version of the Gear App is flawed and they pulled it from their site. There is no working version of the app available at this time. I was told that a working version would be posted in a few hours. But I am not holding my breath.
If you HAVE A SAMSUNG PHONE, and you see this download failure, and your STILL HAVE BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY, then DO NOT UNINSTALL the Gear App or you will lose all connectivity!
I tried the recommended process of using the Internet App on my phone, going to 'apps.samsung.com/Gear' and then attempting to download the Gear Manager App specifically intended for Samsung phones. I got an error message that "Product does not exist in store (4002)". Even their tech support people were surprised by this.
I also downloaded the version of Gear App on Goggle Play. It did install but will not connect to the watch. Error message is "Check if your phone is compatible and if the Samsung Gear app needs to be updated, then try again."
I will attach pics of both attempts.

Thank you it is nice to hear I'm not crazy and some one is working on it.

I should have come here first. Ended up reseting phone and watch, and now I'm stuck. Great phone (note 4) and great watch (s2 classic) but wtf Samsung. Get this fixed ASAP! I already miss having a good looking smart watch on my wrist that's usable.

Made my "Smart Watch" a very dumb watch real quick.

Try being in the habit of looking at your wrist everytime you hear your phone go off or to check the time and slap your self thinking ****!!

Different Error Msg
Now when I attempt to download Gear App Manager from the Samsung site 'apps.samsung.com/Gear', instead of the error message "Product does not exist in this store.", I get a different error message "This app not available for your device."

I hate Samsung with the power of 1000 suns.
I should have come here first. Like many of you, I tried to download the update, then uninstalled Gear Manager, then soft-reset both watch and phone and found myself well and truly hosed. I called Samsung and waited on hold for 20 minutes then explained my problem to one tech, who transferred me to another tech, who transferred me to the Galaxy Apps Support, who told me that she couldn't help me with an app I didn't download from the Galaxy store and hung up on me. I called back, waited on hold for 20 minutes, explained the whole ordeal again, and the tech said she would have to research it and call me back in 24-48 hours.

These are my errors, Frellin Samsung!

Just finished another long chat session with another Samsung technical support supervisor. Their problem has gotten worse in that they posted an updated version of Gear App Manager, but most people are getting the new error message "This app not available for your device." So the Samsung support center continues to be flooded with phone calls and support chat requests.
Again they say a fix should be posted in a few hours.
I don't believe them.

Yup, just spent about 3 hours with att technical store. They are not aware of this issue! They had me factory reset my S2 and now it will not work. Damn Samsung! I have a useless Gear S2 Classic S2 3G version. Only S7 with Marshmallow will connect.

LOL or *cry* - I've been on the phone with them for 80 minutes, mostly on hold for tier 2 support. So do I continue to hold (knowing they likely don't have a fix) OR do I hang up?

If you can stay and report back to us what they tell you. I still can't believe I have it completely unusable watch. It doesn't even tell time. At this moment unless you have an S7 comma if someone tells you to factory reset your watch you have no way to set it up

I gave up on the phone call. I will try again tomorrow. I have now used three methods to contact them: Chat, Phone, and "e-mail". Chat actually produced the most interaction, but still no solution.

thanks for all the help

FIXED! (sort of)
Finally, Samsung has the right App out there.
If you have Samsung Galaxy Apps, you should be able to get the update to Gear Apps Manager there.
If not, (Verizon customers) on your phone open either Internet app or Chrome and go to apps.samsung.com/gear . Then select the the version for Galaxy Devices. Should then see this:
This will download and install Samsung Gear ver 2.2.16022241. When the app is installed and then opened, it downloaded two more pieces of software which were then installed to the phone. (click on the prompts on both the phone and watch) This loads some update software to watch, but does NOT install a new version of the watch software.
BIG ISSUE: this updater removed ALL my watch faces from both the phone AND the watch. I will need to download and reinstall all my faces. (This may be due to the fact that I deleted the prior version of Gear App Manager and that likely deleted the associated "Data", ie watch faces)

UPDATE!!
So I have kept my watch off all day, turning it on and re-establishing a new connection from scratch every couple of hours to see if anything updated. And suddenly, IT WORKS NOW!
I had google play do auto updates earlier, and I didn't see Samsung Gear in the list of apps updated (it was long enough some wheren't on the notification screen), but I ran the app, and suddenly it downloaded the 30mb+/- update!
Now its just stuck at connecting to the watch...
I'll give another update when I get further in the process...
UPDATE 2!!
It works. Huzzah! It got stuck at connecting to the gear after the initial update. So I closed down the software, unpaired the watch in bluetooth settings, and restarted the watch again. This time around it connected and everything went smoothly. Finally. Its nice to have my watch back in working order.
For now.

Yeah I got the one from the gplay, and it worked! Again Thanks to all!

I have an unlocked GT-i9505G (Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition LTE). I recently bought a Samsung Gear S2 Classic from Swappa (verified working/perfect order). I've been trying to get it paired and recognized by my S4 phone for several days since I got it, with no luck until today. Brief timeline: installed the Samsung Gear app on phone as instructed by the message that came up on watch ("connect phone's browser to apps.samsung.com/gear and select the Galaxy version of Gear"). What was happening to me was 1) Starting the phone Gear app, touching the "search for Gear watch" tool, pair message on watch (touch OK (check), it displayed "Setting up" animated message on watch face) then 2) the phone app crashed with message "check your phone for current version is OK and restart Gear app", ad infinitum. Did several uninstall/reinstalls of Gear phone app along with watch factory resets (recovery) tool. No luck. After reading several posts over past few days of various phone app/watch issues, I finally decided that the Galaxy version of the Gear app was not recognizing my phone as a Galaxy phone, due to the fact that it splashes GOOGLE on startup and not true "Samsung Galaxy" from the system firmware (no Touchwiz for example). So I went back to the same apps.samsung.com/gear on phone browser, and selected NON-Galaxy version this time-- and after reading a few helpful hints from various posts, I noticed some people were having better luck by side-loading a Samsung APK called "Gear Plugin" which I did. Then I restarted both, held my breath & VOILA! The Gear app on the phone finally paired & connected the watch within the app itself without crashing! (Happy days are here again) Hope this might give you something to work with to get yours hopefully connected & paired with your S7.

I have a oneplus 2 on cm13, root xposed, and I stuck on connecting. I installed the three recommend apps.
Someone can help me please?

RedMi Note 3 Pro & Gear Fit2 connection

I own the following devices.
Xiaomi RedMi Note 3 Pro
android 5.1.1LMY47V
MIUI 7.5.1.1
Gear Fit2 SM-R360
software R360XXU1BPG3eChO
I installed the
Gear 2.2.16101261
Gear Fit2 Plugin 2.2.04.16111741N
Samsung accessory service 3.1.26_161116
I perform the pairing proccess from gear app where it normally sees the request and then the gear (app from mobile) is closed without any message and gear fit2 stays on screen writing "setting up" where nothing else happening and at the end sent message that "the setting has lasted more than expected. Do you want to try again; "
For the above issue I have tried the following:
1)
Remove all Samsung app's
cache cleaning
Factory reset gear fit2
Reinstalling app's
2)
Remove all Samsung app's
cache cleaning
Factory reset gear fit2
Reinstalling previous versions
Please HELP

My pebble kept disconnecting. I think it was due to permissions. I'd recommend making sure the gear fit app can autostart, use Bluetooth and stay active.

Hello,
I had the same problem before.
Try login into Google account on your watch when your phone and the watch are both connected to the same WiFi network.
Also, the first OTA update fixed a lot of things for me, including the ability for the watch to get internet by Bluetooth from my phone connected to mobile network.
If you can, try updating the watch first (using Samsung Wearable app on the phone) and then try to login with your Google account again on your phone.
Hope it helps !

Anyone found a solution to connect Huawei phone (p40 pro with google services) with galaxy watch 4?
I am getting error that Google account cannot be copied to watch.
I tried to connect my phone using 'connect to new device' after google account was copied to watch using another phone but with no luck....watch is reset and connection to google account is deleted.
Is there any solution for this or hope that we can get some working workaround in decent time?
I am thinking to change my phone for some galaxy phone or samsung watch fkr huawei watch 2 or 3.
I am really disappointed that in 2021 there is soo hard to connect 2 android devices. Not to mention all time spent to got working GSM on my huawei phone. n Maybe I should switch to apple ecosystem - there at least i can be sure that everything will work out of the box

i guess the only way for this to work is to buy a samsung phone.

After one night of try and error, I think I may found a solution. I haven't tested the watch thoroughly to check if the functionalities work but it appears to be connected to my huawei mate xs, with google account logged in and google pay set up.
This method needs another phone that has access to GMS. I used an old oneplus phone.
Firstly, read this regarding how to use samsung health to conenct to the watch:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/p82h39/_/h9rpsob
Secondly, read this regarding how to pair the watch to another phone without factory reset using adb: https://www.xda-developers.com/pair-android-wear-without-factory-reset/. In this post there are two major steps: 1. clear gms data and reboot 2. force it to start paring in bluetooth.
Now please follow the below steps:
1. connect galaxy watch 4 to huawei phone using samsung heatlh. set it up properly.
2. turn off wifi and bluetooth on huawei phone and reboot
3. use adb to connect to the watch, clear gms and reboot
4. use another android phone, with galaxy wearable, samsung health and all necessary plugins installed (watch pugin, watch4 manager etc.)
5. use adb to open bluetooth pairing on the watch.
6. use another android phone to connect to the watch from samsung health, similar to how you would set it up. but the progress will never reach 100%. do not use galaxy wearable app to pair as it will tell you to do factory reset on the wtch.
7. wait until the setup progress shows some percentages, like 20% or 50%, on the watch open google playstore, click login and your phone should show some login page for google account. click login. Then on the watch download google pay from playstore, open it and add your card with your phone after clicking add card on your watch.
8. close samsung wearable, turn off bluetooth and wifi on your android phone (not huawei)
9. use adb to clear gms and reboot, then turn on bluetooth pairing.
10. reboot huawei phone and turn on wifi and bluetooth. open samsung wearable. your watch should still be paired but not connected. try to connect it from samsung wearble.
11. if it fails to connect, repeat 9 & 10 and try again. for me it worked after rebooting for 3 times ish.
UPDATE 1: google pay will not work because once swtiching phone, the cards added would disappear
UPDATE 2: cards can be later added on huawei phone

It's preinstalled on your watch. Swipe from bottom to up on the screen of your watch and find the app

Thank you. Unfortunately my gaw4 is purchased in China so no google play services preinstalled.
Could you please connect to you GAW4 using adb and show me the list of packages & version installed on you watch?
Related command is in adb command.zip (This forum don't allow for complicated characters in the post. So upload in zip).
My list of installed package is attached below as list.txt.
