Yes I know the watch is old but my wife likes it, and it still functions flawlessly. I have been following the how-to videos at the following links on setting up APIs. There are additional options when I go to do this now. I download the secrets.json file, find it in the gassist app, but it doesn't work. I receive a wrong file error. Can anyone help me in getting the Google assistant API working on the Galaxy watch 3?

I can't find anything on this.
So I'm trying to pair my Galaxy S5 with the Gear2 - it can see the Gear 2 on bluetooth, but there's no prompt to pair.
Gear Manager pops up an error message very quickly and force closes.
I don't particularly want to have to sign up with a samsung account and/or use their app store on my phone - is there any way around this?

i believe you need to have a Samsung app store account. how else will you have access to the thousands of great apps for the Gear 2 without one... lol, but seriously, no account no acess. there are few (if any) apps in android play store. Gear 2 runs on tizen, not Android.
as for the F/C, try uninstalling everything and try again. my Gear 2 paired up with my Note 3 right away.

I found a version of Gear manager as an apk download that runs, but you're right - what you can do with it is highly restricted.
I'm a little more privacy-aware than most android users, and as a result I'm probably not going to use the device much if it's locked to a corporate app store.

The apps download to your phone which transfers them to your watch. The only possible apps I can think of that might expose your watch data are fitness apps that transfer your stats back to the phone. Watch faces, games, etc. don't share any data but still, the only way to get them is through the Samsung App Store.
hi
i have just bought a S3 and i paired it with my iPhone 7
it's works pretty fine but i miss mail, reply to sms and so on.
so i looked into the app store and there are nearly Nothing in there..
i tried to connect the Watch to the honor 7 of my gf and there i can get much more apps!! like working hue apps, email, more faces and so on.
how can i get all this app from iPhone? and why the store is different? the device is the gear and not the phone !
i tried to download it from the honor then reconnect it to my iPhone but it restores the Watch before pairing and i don't know why but apps i downloaded from the honor doesn't appear in the "my apps" section on the galaxy app store from the iPhone
any idea how to solve this problem?
thanks
This problem cannot be solved from your side.
The problems are:
1. Some apps require a companion app, which only available on Android, in order to work. iOS will probably not have these as Samsung does not provide any SDK for devs to work on.
2. Samsung use manual filter for apps. A filter is like this: Gear S3 & iOS devices, S7 Edge & S3 BT and so on. If apps do not include this filter, they won't show up on your device. You can ask devs to include this filter if the apps are standalone.

Hi folks!
I'm an owner of a Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch which runs on Samsungs's Tizen 4.0 system. I already know there is no Google Pay app available for Tizen and unfortunately Samsung Pay isn't available for the S3 in Germany. Currently I'm already using Google Pay on my Pixel phone. Since the S3 has a NFC chip and is linked to my smartphone via bluetooth I'm wondering why the Google pay app on my phone can not simply use the functionality of the NFC of my watch. Is there really no way to link the Google Pay app to the NFC chip of the watch instead to the phones one?? To be clear, I'm not asking for a Tizen app, a standalone solution or WearOS ROM... I just want to put my watch on the terminal instead of pulling out my phone. Any ideas, hint or solutions??
Thanks in advance!
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 all,
After reading and searching a bunch of thread here, I have not been able to find clear answers. There are various guides for individual items. I want to collect all the information in one place, from a non-tech user perspective. (India Specific)
Missing features:
Samsung Wallet (Samsung Pay)
Google Assistant
BP and ECG monitoring
Google Wallet (Google Pay)
Others I don't know about?
Watch4 vs Watch4 Classing missing feature difference?
Partial information which I will update as I learn: (please help)
I wonder if just setting the right country's CSC code will enable samsung pay AND all the other features like assistant, BP, ECG etc...?
Get Samsung PayThe most used way I have found is to change the CSC to a country that has SPay and it seems to work for some people and not for others. most importantly, there is no going back. Hence, I have not tried this yet. I also contacted Samsung India support and they said that this feature is "Coming soon" but who knows what that means. I had Samsung Gear S3 Frontier for years and they never updated it even after promising the "Coming soon". I did the CSC change for that watch and it worked.
Is there a up to date definitive guide for Indian region that works consistently?
Get Google Assistant:Most googling will tell you to go to the play store on your watch and update the assistant app from there. But for me, the assistant app as completely missing and not showing up in search results. For example, If I go to the play store listing for Assistant, it just says "This item isn't available in your country."
Guide 1: Side Load Assistant Skip the top, go down to "How to sideload Google Assistant on the Galaxy Watch 4"
I was able to get Assistant working by side loading the apk, which is a little bit technical as you need to turn on Dev mode and enable Debugging.
IMPORTANT: Before running Assistant on watch, make sure you set the language on Assistant on your phone to English (US) and not English (India).
Get BP and ECG MonitoringThis involves a lot of steps and I have not tried it yet but this guide is the best and most recent I found:

(will update more as people contribute and I figure out further)
afaik we can revert csc back to INU by using shell.
Hey folks any way to l make gpay work on the watch??
