In the S-Health, there is a Heart rate section, but it does not seem to be enabled to measure. I am supposed to get Samsung help on that but they have not come back to me for many days. Has anyone enabled Heart rate sensor on 10 5G? 3rd party apps which need subscription are able to measure Heart rate, only S-Health can't. So it should be technically possible. Samsung says 5G phones don't have HR measurement, they need wearables to check HR

Establishing a WiFi connection with the s2 Tab takes like 8 to 10 seconds. All my other devices take 2-3 seconds.
So, is that a Samsung thing or?
Could it be that the metal frame of the body is used as WiFi antenna?
###
I disabled a bunch of apps, services with the Package Disabler Pro and I think the s2 is running now even smoother plus more battery life. But when I try to access the Owner under Settings/Users/ Settings suddenly crashes.
What app/service is associated with the Owner?
(my s2 is not rooted)

Your s2 is nougat or marshmallow. And just show us the list of the services and apps you have disabled.

I have been using the Galaxy fit band (R370) and recently upgraded with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (R840). I have noticed that samsung health does not connect the watch3 as a heart rate monitor (HRM) during running workouts.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
0. Pair watch3 with the galaxy wearable app.
1. Open Samsung Health app on phone (N10+ in my case).
2. On the home page, click the running man icon under "exercise" item. This should open the Running workout page.
3. On the top left corner of the map, there should be the words "Detecting...". This should be for GPS location.
4. Under "Detecting...", there is no "HRM" connection when I use my watch3. Heart rate also doesn't show in the Samsung Health app when I start the workout.
If I pair my Galaxy Fit with the phone, HRM will be connected and the band will have notification. There is no notification on the watch3 when I start the running workout. See screenshot attachments for details.
I am not sure if my particular watch3 has problems or its a samsung health issue. Can someone check if they have the same problem?

Have you installed the latest version of Samsung Health on both watch and phone? I wasn't notified of the updates for these and just stumbled across them by chance. I assume you also got the firmware update, what country are you in?

I have updated Samsung Health on phone (v6.11.0.061) and watch (not too sure how to get version number, but there is no update in galaxy store - Hong Kong version). My watch is running the latest firmware R840XXU1BTG6.
In the Samsung Health phone app, The Galaxy Watch3 is connected as a registered accessory. All stats sync from the watch to the phone like HR, stress, blood oxygen, sleep, including workouts recorded on the watch... The watch does not connect to the phone as a heart rate monitor for my run.
Hmmm, not sure then. I don't know if it's a regional thing. There have been a lot of discrepancies on health features depending on the country you are in., could it be that?
Maybe you need to speak to Samsung support, as painful as that might be!

Just got my new Galaxy Watch 5. It looks great, very smooth appearance
Installed it in the usual way after removing all the old apps and starting from scratch including Watch 5 patch.
Good news - Galaxy Wear found the watch straight away and did the bluetooth pairing.
Bad news - Galaxy Wear immediately said "This watch is not supported on this phone."
I'll be having an other go later on, but it's looking like the watch will be going back.
If you have an older copy of Wearables try that after uninstalling the new version. Make sure you get all the apps for the watch.
Firewall block the old version's updates though before opening it... or it will update.
Conversely try updating everything including the watch firmware. Sequence* of your actions here can effect the outcome. Wearables can be quit the terror but I've always gotten my Buds+ to work right, one way or another
Samsung tech may be useful as may Samsung forums. It sucks but so does a lot of things; bennies for success, nothing for failure.
*trial and error, and yes it can take multiple attempts. DO NOT factory reset!
Clearing the system cache and especially a network reset may help. Make sure Wearables has all its permissions, CHECK!!! It will puke on you if it doesn't! No warnings why either
I've been back again, tried everything I learned in getting the Watch 3 to work. But this one is different, it's not like the failures before when something just doesn't work or goes into a loop. This is the first time Galaxy Wear has connected to the Watch and then said definitely that it is not comparible with the phone. I'm having bad feelings about it.
The other thing I would say though is, are Samsung going to sell the Watch 5 into China? If so it should work with Chinese phones - unless it has different firmware.
Watch 5 returned. Waiting for Pixel Watch.

Another horrible news about Vivo Security and policies.
Anyone had the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 to work with the Wear OS version from Vivo app store?
yes i have the watch 5 pro working i have had vio x fold,vivo x fold plus and now vivo x fold 2 and it worked on all
what you have to do is uninstall all the versions you have of samsung wearables and plugins then go to this link and install this version of wearables http://samsung-gear.apk.watch/2.2.41.21071361/for/huawei-honor-8
once that is installed open up the settings of ur phone go to bluetooth and connect to your watch then open up the wearables app and it will download an update follow it through and it will work perfect for you
just remember to set the wearable and watch os apps to be locked in the task killer screen and set the battery management to high power for the wearable and watch os apps to make sure you get all your notifications and for it to stay connected

I have both watch 4 and watch 5 connecting to vivo without any issues. Do not use the Samsung wearable app from the play store but use the above apk. Once the phone is synced, all the Samsung plugins gets updated to the latest version.
If I root my tab s8+ and then wipe the OneUI from twrp and flash android 12L firmware from Google will it work and will the tablet boot up? Also what effect does rooting have on Knox does it disables it completely or there is just a failsafe which tells samsung i attempted to root my device but the Knox keeps on functioning?
I might try this when my warranty is finished.
I am attempting to get rid of GOS since Samsung has so heavily throttled the performance of Tab s8 series and the lack of optimized apps is even more frustrating. I bought Samsung rather than apple cause of the more open and accessible ecosystem but I think IOS is much better for it's app optimization and smoothness, I used my friends Ipad air and the applications are so smooth compared to on my tab s8+.
Rooting requires bootloader unlock and unlocking the bootloader triggers KNOX chip permanently. So apps like Samsung pass, secret folder and such also becomes permanently disabled since they require a working knox chip to work. Since they use knox chip to encrypt it's data and then stores key securitly in knox chip. So no-one can get key and decrypt the data if the device is hacked or similar.

Well I have read several reports of Knox getting hacked or samsung getting hacked and Knox user data getting released. It's not a military grade security solution I don't use secure folder, as it has deleted the data of it's users or lost it after some time without any reason.
If I flash 12L on this tablet shouldn't it work since the hardware is there albeit I will lose some good functionality like samsung dex and the OneUI user interface but I can revert back by flashing samsung firmware. I want to get the max performance as possible without kernels from this device and GOS is completely baked deep in OneUI, stock android can atleast allow normal performance from this tablet.
I have a mobile with sdm 845 and I can play games on 60 fps constant on that but on this tablet it goes from 60 to 45 and is extremely unstable lot of spikes and frame drops, even though it has a much stronger processor and GPU and they are not throttling but idling about 35-40 °C. Initially disabling gos (AllianceShieldX) allowed for constant 85-90 fps on this tablet but now on OneUI 4.1.1 even after clearing data and disabling it does not do so, anything, AllianceshieldX knox license is currently banned by samsung they are looking for a workaround so I can try that as well on this new Android version when that is available.

That hack was hacking Samsungs servers containing customers data. Not data from mobile phones or tablets. Since KNOX stores locally and does not communicate with Samsung servers or so. So that data is unaffected by the hack that happened to Samsung in USA.
Also only data samsung has got is name, street, email and so on that kind of data was hacked from samsung servers.
Hi guys,
After some years I returned to a Samsung device and now am really furious about the fact, that we cannot use Google maps properly without using full location tracking (high accuracy, meaning to be forced to use WiFi and mobile cells scanning).
Since 2015 I never had to use this to get an exact GPS location and I really do not want to activate those features at all. Even a cheap Poco phone or an iPhone are able of getting an exact location without those scanning services.
Anyone knows how to get a good GPS location on a S20 FE without activating these crazy scan features? Root is no problem.
Thank you.
