I have a gear that is connected to a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, that is 3g connected (SM-P601, I think).
The gear and the note work together just fine. The only issue is that there seems to be only 8 apps that appears from the Samsung store (when I enter it from the Gear Manager app). It is not only extremely limited, but much less than most people seem to be saying that they see in the online store.
What would be the issue here? Even apps like Ebay, Vivino, Life360, Banjo, etc, are missing. Does anyone else experience the same phenomenon here? Does anyone know what might be the issue here?
So I would like to know how many apps people normally see in the Samsung app store.
Thanks in advance.
Seems to depend on location and/or device. Check the Samsung store via the internet to see all the apps
Most are posted in this forum too

Cool thanks for the tip.
I'm in the US, although the Note is an unlocked international version. Not sure if that makes a difference, or if the samsung online store decided to shortchange me.
Got my new P20Pro today - coming from a Mate 10 Pro. Love the phone and everything works great except the Samsung gear app and my Samsung Frontier S3 watch (AT&T LTE version). The app downloads and i can pair the watch and restore my watch settings but when i try to open Samsung pay the Samsung pay gear plug-in doesn't install and if i try to look at watch faces or apps, I get an error "this device does not support gear" - any idea how to fix/troublshoot this?
Hi, we are all in the same situation.
We have to wait for Samsung to update gear app
Look in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/galaxy-apps-huawei-p20-t3774050
Thanks for pointing out that post - I hadn't thought to look in the p20 forums. I guess we'll have to wait for Samsung to update the Gear app. In the meantime, I was able to use appsharer to move the Samsung pay framework and Samsung pay gear plugin from my mate10 pro to the p20pro and install them without any problems (just after install, you need to clear cache/storage on both apps to reset them) so I have Samsung pay working fine on my gear d3 connected to the p20 pro -just missing ability to download new apps/watchfaces

Cool, happy for you if everything work well except watchface, so if you still have your mate 10 pro can you share the mms.apk for messaging please
I tried to find it and couldn't. No messaging app appears in the list - i didn't root my phone so don't know where/how to find individual apk's. I wanted to move that one too as the p20 doesn't come with a stock messaging app (so i'm using textra)
Download Pay Plug in from the net and install and it will work.

Hi,
On your Samsung Gear S3 Frontier (WiFi only version), if Samsung Pay is not working after pairing with Huawei P20 Pro due to no Samsung Pay Plugin available in the app, here is how I managed to make it work.
If you already reset and paired your watch, you can skip to Step 4.
1. Hard reset your Gear S3 (Turn off, press and hold Power button until you see the logo don't release the Power button, seconds later you will see the logo and a blue colored 'rebooting', once you see it repeatedly press on Power button until you see the bios-like like menu, by pressing the Power button you can browse the menu, stop at 'recovery' and keep pressing the Power button then quickly press the Home button, your watch will restart to its factory settings).
2. Download and install Samsung Gear app on your phone, get it from Play Store. Once you open the app, it may ask to install two more required apps, Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service.
3. Pair your watch and phone. So far nothing fancy.
4. Download and install Samsung Pay using your phone from apkmirror (a security question will pop up asking to allow to install an app from a third party, just accept).
5. On your watch, press and hold the Home button to start Samsung Pay, this will ask you to continue setup on your phone.
6. On your phone, Samsung Pay will start and may state an updated version of Samsung Pay is available for you watch version, accept and it finish updating on your watch.
7. Start Samsung Pay as in Step 5. At this point, the app on your phone asks to set a passcode or pin on your watch for security.
8. You are all set now and can add your credit/debit cards as usual.
This is my first post and thank you for your support and for an amazing XDA app.

P20 pro & S3
Hello,
This thread is a few months old now, does anyone know if there has been an update Samsung’s end? Just taken delivery of P20 pro and want the S3 watch mainly for its offline Spotify feature. Don’t want to pay £250 if it won’t work. Not interested in android pay (as my bank isn’t supported) but do want texts and WhatsApp to work. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have had the p20 pro since shortly after release and have had no issues with it's relationship with my S3 (non lte), it works seemlessly.
I wasn't aware of any issues, I have only just stumbled across this thread.

Brilliant, thank you. I'll go and buy one then
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??
Dear XDA experts,
Please help! I wasn't able to pair my galaxy watch 4 with the x70 pro + with CN rom.
Error message is
"This watch isn't supported on this phone", despite the fact that I've already downloaded both galaxy wear and galaxy watch 4 plugin.
Anyone able to pair or know of a solution?
I also made the very same experience. it was mentioned in a review a week ago too. so i guess there is no solution right now.

What a pity.. thanks bro.
Since the Galaxy watch 4 relys on wearOS you should be able to pair it with the chinese wearOS app.
I got a GLOBAL Version of the Oppo watch with wearOS and had the same problem. But it worked with that solution... give it a try

This is true, I also ran into this with my new ticwatch, we need to install the Chinese WearOS then the normal WearOS can pair the watch. and won't get stuck trying so.
Thanks so much hyperX- and Djorgio! Will give it a try!
My wife is having this issue. She's trying to connect a Fossil Q Venture. She already downloaded Wear Os China, she opened china app and it says device isn't compatible, please download correct version from Play store. She already had the play store version installed. She retried after installing china version but it still stays stuck on the splash screen...Any suggestions? What version of china wear os and regular wear os are you running? Could you offer a more detailed step by step of what you actually did to get it working? Would really appreciate that.
Hello everybody! If You have found a solution to this issue, please let me know. I have the same problem with a vivo Nex 3S trying to connect to a Galaxy watch4 classic. Thank You so much in advance!

Did you use the WearOs from Vivo Store?
Anyone managed to sync their Garmin watches? According to Garmin's website, the Garmin Connect app requires that the phone "natively support the Google Play store". Guess we're out of luck then... Can't find a Garmin App in Vivostore that could be a solution...?
There may be some confusion about where to get the correct WearOS software to work on the CN firmware. My wife's Galaxy 4 watch stopped working with her Huawei Mate 20 X recently after the phone received a firmware update from Android 11 to Android 12 (it is an older Huawei phone so isn't impacted by the US technology ban on Huawei). After a lot of searching I discovered that if we completely uninstalled the WearOs and Watch Plugin from the phone, and then reinstalled it - NOT from the Google Play Store - but rather from Huawei's App Gallery, then voila, it worked! I have had the same issue with my Galaxy Buds2 on my Vivo X Note (CN firmware). If I uninstall the WearOS software and the Buds Manager plugin from the phone, and then reinstall them from the Vivo App Store they work. The app looks to be identical to the Play Store version, but as an interesting aside it has some Chinese language in a few of the settings submenus. I think Samsung makes one version of their app for Chinese phones, and a different version for Global phones.
I downloaded the wear os from the Vivo asp store and keep getting stuck on the getting yogurt Watch details screen (this is on the Vivo x fold)

* No a full solution currently.
Try to download the Samsung Health app and connect from the Accessories (triple dot -> Settings -> Accessories -> Smartwatch -> Register) option, this should forward you to the official Samsung SSO and allow the association with the device.
Also, make sure to:
1. Backup the watch to a Samsung account before you start because you will have to reset it.
2. Download the necessary Plugin and Manager apps to your Vivo device as they are required by the process.
* I did this to associate my Galaxy watch 4 with the Vivo x80 pro, I'm still working on making it fully connected because it does disconnect but that is some progress in that direction.
Edit: It did fully connect, now I just have to access it through the Health App path but other than that the watch can be managed through the manager app and works the same.
Hello, I have the fold x here in Canada and I am trying to pair my samsung galaxy watch4 classic. I tried the chinese wear os and the normal one, I installed the plugin but it says my phone is not supported? Any help appreciated.
I paired my x70 pro + with galaxy watch 4 classic.
1. Download wear os from vivo store
2. Download the first version Galaxy Watch4 Plugin. (Released Date: Aug 2021)
3. Download Galaxy wearable from google play store
4. Download Samsung health.
Open the Samsung health, open bluetooth in your watch and vivo phone. In Samsung health setting page, select GW4, the watch4 plugin will open automaticaly. serval minutes for pairing, It showed success. The you can upgrade the watch4 plug in to the latest version.

Hi dude, looks like I found a solution, uninstall Wearable and Wear os apps, then download this apk http://samsung-gear.apk.watch/2.2.41.21071361/for/huawei-honor-8, it will install an update to work, and it will install the Wear Os. And that worked like a charm, I hope this works for everyone having the same issue.

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.
