A few days ago,i bought the galaxy watch.It told me to download the galaxy wearables app on my phone.Unfortunately,my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 7.0 is not compatible for the galaxy wearables app.So,I went online to search for an apk.I installed it but when its detecting my watch,down there it says "no devices are shown because your phone has less memory than 1.5gb.More memory is needed to connect".I installed gltools to give a fake ram info to the app.I set it to give 2gb of fake ram info to the app.This time,the message is gone but the app still doesnt detect my watch.But in bluetooth settings it does show my watch.Any help would be appreciated.
You need to download also the plugin for the galaxy watch as an APK, look for the plugins of the devices.
I already downloaded it.What should i do??

I have the Samsung S4 Model SGH-1337M - Android version 4.4.2
- Just updated my Samsung Galaxy Gear 1 to Tizen through Samanug Kies with no problem.
- Samsung Gear manager was also updated to version 2.1.14052101.
- The Samsung Apps version is 14041504.21.032.0
A coleague of mine just updated his Galaxy Gear 1 but he owns a Samsung S3 running Android 4.4.2
He is also running the same version of Gear Manager.
Problem Description:
When comparing upgrades, I noticed that he installed new apps on his Gear1 watch that I cannot see on my Gear Manager Samsung Apps.
We compared all software versions and they are all the same.
His Gear Manager showed an additional category that is not on my category list and a lot of apps that I do not see in my list.
For example I do not have the finance group of apps and apps in every sections are missing and not the same.
Please see attached screen shots from both phones.

Has anyone noticed the same behavior. Is there a reason not to see or download apps?
@nkgear the S4 doesn't yet link well with Gear 1 Tizen
If you are rooted change your build.prop in /system/app
Search in Gear General thread, it's discussed several times

The same here. I haven't rooted my Galaxy, so have to wait for Samsung to solve this crazy problem?
SAMSUNG SOLVE IT.
Yesterday I reset my Gear S3 frontier. On trying to pair it with my P20, Galaxy wearable wouldn't launch. I uninstalled wearable. It now will not show up when I search for it in the Play store, only the plug ins are listed
. I tried to install from my library and "not on this device" through Play store and it says the current version isn't compatible with my device. Samsung support blame Huawei and Huawei blame Samsung Wearable. In the mean time, I'm left with a watch I can't use, after it working fine for five weeks.
Any ideas on a fix. Or if anyone has had similar, I'd really appreciate a reply. Many thanks.
Hi mate. same happened to me with mi gear s3. if you have you bootloader unlocked, you won't be able to download many apps from playstore including galaxy wearable. download the apk from samsung offical page. it will work.
As some of you know, Samsung not only stopped supporting Samsung VR, they actually sabotaged the app totally by not allowing new installs to open.
Essentially there is a user agreement that you have to agree to but it requires an “internet connection” to accept but this is the part which was sabotaged.
I believe that Samsung took the verification server offline so the app always thinks you are not connected.
I need someone to look into how that verification happens and how it can be circumvented.
As a backup, if anyone knows a SPECIFIC version of Samsung VR app which does not have this verification process (sideloaded) please post the version.
UP i need too please somebody help
anyone who has a samsung vr app backup via titanium backup please share
Only the old ones work without Internet connection. The last working one is Samsung VR 1.59.4.
Check here: android-apk.org/com.samsung.vrvideo/
It also works with the Oculus Go.
Can anyone test this with an Oculus Quest 2 ?
this is backup from titaniumbackup

Made a little progress....
I was playing around trying to get Gear VR to work on my new Galaxy S20 plus, I tried installing Occulus from the app store but when I plugged the phone into the GearVR nothing would happen, so I Extracted all the Occulus and GearVR apps from my old S9 into APK's and then sideloaded them onto my S20, and now when I plug it in, it tries to load the setup program but it comes up with an error saying I have no network connection.... is there any way around this?
hi,
i found workaround
1. uninstall Gear VR SetupWizard ( 3.2.03.9 )
2. install version ( 3.0.21 ) from aptoide : https://gear-vr-setupwizard.pl.aptoide.com/app
3. run setup, configure, upgrade to newest version
and it works

Hi. We have tried to put the 3.0.21 version on and it has installed on phone but don't know how to get it to link with the Gear VR (SMR325) . Anyone with suggestions?
Hi guys, does any one have the full package of apps - I also got a S20 and wanted to try with my old Gear VR R325 headset - it works finr with my Galaxy Note 9 but is not rooted so cant extract the APK's.

Just tried. It doesn't work. It installs fine, opens fine (no messages), shows that gridded floor pattern (of very old versions of Samsung VR) but nothing else happens (no buttons to click on, no nothing. Just void.
Did you find a way to make Samsung VR to work on Quest 2 ?

I have the APK for version 2.12.7 and it works fine in my Gear VR with Samsung Galaxy S7 (yes, the phone still works too).
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but it's not only the verification server they shut down. The whole online video server was shut down. So, I do see a "No internet connection" message, but I'm still able to click the other buttons and explore my local media folders using this app, which is exactly what I want to do.
However I was not able to port this version (or any other APK I found) to my Quest 2. The closest I got was to install an Oculus Go APK on the Quest 2, but when I open the app and the "No internet connection" message appears, my Quest 2 controllers are not recognized, so I can't click anywhere to browse my folders. Is that your issue too?
Anyways, I'm in desperate need of a Samsung VR APK that works with Quest/Quest 2. Please let me know if you come across this APK.
I have the same problem with my new Galaxy S10+ now. I cannot accept the terms and conditions in Samsung VR because it says "no internet connection". I tried with SIM and wireless also, but no luck.
I have a Galaxy S9+ too, there i accepted Samsung VR terms and conditions long before Samsung switched off the verification server. So on the S9+ i can still use Samsung VR.
Even tho I noticed in the recent months that on the S9+ it also says "no internet connection", but probably in the appdata folder is a flag or file which they check if you accepted their ToS. If thats not there you cannot go forward to the main menu of Samsung VR.
So I see only one way and this would be you need a Titanium Backup from the Samsung VR app where the ToS are already accepted. Then you also would need to root the new phone that you can install Samsung VR with app data right?
Or is there any way to inject appdata of Samsung VR to your new phone without having root access?
Someone tried that if that even works?

Can confirm that restoring app+data won't work.... at least the backup I found in this thread not.
Restored app+data in Titanium backup and still asks to accept terms with no internet connection..

I just fixed it, the app checks a txt file in the root Android\data\com.samsung.vrvideo folder. I made a zip file of that folder from my Galaxy S9+, it works at the S10+ too. Just copy that folder with the subfolders and the file inside to "Android\data\"
This folder is avaiable even without root. Even tho I dont see any content in that folder with the normal file manager on the phone, but once you plug your Galaxy to a regular PC you can access that Android/data folder.
So when you unzip it, the path to the file should look like this:
Android\data\com.samsung.vrvideo\files inside that folder 2 files: "VR360Video_3_00_0_EULA_agreed.txt" and "MVRI.txt"
My Samsung VR App now opens without that EULA message and works in offline mode.
Let me know if its working!

Great! Yeah I was surprised too, that no one else found it out before. I almost deleted it while resetting my S9+ but then I checked that Android/data folder lol...
I must be missing something here. Aside from the Android\data\com.samsung.vrvideo\files directory and associated files, what other apk's should be installed? I've installed the oculus app from the Play store and it still does not launch when I place my S21 into the Gear VR headset.
The play store oculus app does not work with gearvr. It has to be installed by the gearvr setup app.
can someone explain/walk me through the process like i'm 5. Just pulled out my gear vr for the first time in a year and am trying to get it to work with my old s9+ that had to be factory reset.

Not for sure but you may need the Wearables Manager Installer too. The Buds+ need all to run.
They need full permissions as well to load.
Try a network reset otherwise.

So I installed couple of plugins,give them all the permissions and reset my network.
Installed managers as well.
So this time when I'm trying to pair, the galaxy wearable just closes itself now. When I open it again it says that I need galaxy watch4 manager.
And for some reason those plugins keep automatically disabling.
You need all the apps. With the Buds up also need these. The watch is likely similar.
Since I have a Samsung it was preloaded with the Wearables Manager and maybe some others so when it saw the device it automatically updated through the Galaxy Store. Latter after a bad update, I had uninstall all of them and use my backup app copier that were know good. At first I missed these two below and was doing what you're doing now -cursing-
There are other sites with install primers for the Galaxy 4 Watch.

You got the 3 critical ones, right?
Power off watch.
Network reset.
Reboot phone... power on the watch.
Open bluetooth and look for new devices.
Play with it. Try coupling the Buds.
If you can clear the system cache, do so.
Doing a factory reset will only teach you new curse words... don't.
I think you need the Watch4 Plugin, not the Watch Plugin since it's using the new Wear OS, not the Tizen OS.
Also, I can pair my Watch 4 normally with the Global Version.

Okay, so when I'm downloading that watch 4 plugin it's actually apears later on the phone as a galaxy watch4 manager, idk if that makes any sense.
Still not pairing after installing all plugins and resetting network and stuff
When I try to pair this watch now it says that I need galaxy watch4 plugin but I already have it installed on my phone.
When I press ok, it just transfer me to play store with blank screen.
When I tried to pair this watch with my old OnePlus 6t it also said that I need that plugin and transfeed me to download it with no problem and watch works just fine. But with 11 ultra there is some problem
I also had this issue. I couldnt pair it with my mi 11 ultra. I also couldnt use android auto with it. That was with the stock global rom. So I ended up installing xiaomi eu rom on it and suddenly everything worked. I could pair my galaxy watch 4 classic to it, android auto started working.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
I have just unboxed my new Galaxy tab a8 and to my surprise there seems to be no themes support for this device!
Just to make this a bit clearer, the galaxy store app works as expected, I have logged into my account (of course) however when I go to the "my apps" section there are no themes available. On the contrary everything seems to be normal on my A52S phone so there's definitely nothing wrong with my account. Also when I browse the themes section only some fonts appear to be available.
Any thoughts?
Just bought this tab and noticed the same thing.
There is a system app 'Galaxy Themes Service' installed, which I haven't seen on my older Samsung devices.
Theme Park works, but #Hex does not
Anyone been able to get the Theme Store to work?
I was able to sideload Theme Park and use it to theme my A8 ! It didn't show up in Galaxy Store for me!
