Right, so I've got a weird problem. Been searching high and low for a while now and while I've found some reports of the same issue on Samsung's own community forum nothing seems to fix the error.
Basically, my watch was working fine except I had no Samsung Pay and the SPo2 feature was disabled. Decided I really needed Samsung Pay so I performed a factory restore and selected a different region (Spain I believe) which also gave me SPo2. First sign of trouble was when adding this watch to my Galaxy Wearables app, it asked me to restore a previous backup and no matter how many times I tried it kept telling me no backups were found. I finally skipped this step and all was good. Samsung Pay was working, as was SPo2 and everything else. I then proceeded to set up Bixby and it keeps telling me "Samsung account failed to sync. Please try again"... I then start noticing other issues as well, such as I cant sign in to Smartthings on my watch, the Galaxy Store doesnt seem to work etc.
Start roaming around online to find a solution and came up with quite a few alternatives. Hace now tried all of them and the issue remains. About to send this POS back for a refund.
I've tried, in no specific order;
Yet another factory reset
Set-up watch as a standalone device
Re-login to my Samsung Account on my phone
Reset my Samsung account password (to force a sign-out everywhere)
Clear Cache, Data and finally full uninstall/reinstall of the Galaxy Wearables app as well as the Watch add-in
Change CSC on the watch and reinstall the firmware from scratch, then tried to connect before, during and after the various official firmware updates
Log-on to the webui for my Samsung account and removed every single device (bar my phone - Note20U), including the "previous" GW3 entry.
probably a few others as well that I've forgot about.
Like I said, have found a few suggestions of fixes, but none seem to work for me. Spoke to a Samsung employee whos last resort was to have me log in to the webUI and remove the device, which still didnt work...
Surely someone must have an idea that will work, no?
PS. my Phone is signed into my samsung account without issue and all Samsung features work well there, including Bixby and Smartthings.

Mine had the same problem after changing the region.
How to fix it...
Reset your watch and set it up as a standalone device then connect to the wifi and lon in your samsung account on the watch restore your watch from the backups ...
Now on your watch go to connect a phone it'll ask you to keep your data on the watch after painting to the phone allow it and you are good to go.
Sometimes the wearable app may stuck at last step just close the app and start the process again it'll pair eventually.

Afraid not. I even spoke to some Samsung people about it off the books and basically it boiled down to me either exchanging the watch where I bought it or send it in to one of Samsungs service centers.
I ended up returning it to Amazon for a refund as I had won a new one thru some Samsung promotion in the mean time.

This worked for me - thanks very much!
I had the same problem but I managed to solve it making new account cause I found that what makes the problem that the old account needs approval to new Samsung roles which I couldn't find anywhere . So after making new account I approved the the new statements and everything worked

Update: I had to perform a factory reset of my watch and after that could not resolve the account issue with the original fix. My watch is from the UK, set to UK region, but I am using it in Europe (GMT +2). Not sure if all these steps are necessary; it was either the UK time, the UK VPN or both, anyway here is what I did to get it working again. My phone is a Galaxy A20e, watch is GW3 R855F.
On phone set time to UK time zone
On phone log out of Samsung account then back in
On phone -> Settings -> Apps -> Galaxy Wearable -> Storage -> Clear data
On phone, connect to a UK VPN. I did this by connecting my Windows PC to a UK VPN, sharing the connection over WiFi, connecting phone to that WiFi network.
Run Galaxy Wearable, reconnect watch
On watch -> Settings -> Account -> View privacy notice -> OK [previously it would not show any of this and instead asked me to log in on my phone, despite already being logged in]
Now the watch is logged into my account and everything working: Can install apps from watch, remote connection, Bixby

So, i've had my att s5 for a few months now. It worked fine, no problems at all. But when I got Kitkat 4.4.4, every Google related refused to work. Play Store, Youtube, Chrome, you name it. I tried a whole list of things to try to fix it, including resetting time and date, uninstalling updates, clearing cache, the whole 9 yards. Now i've reset my phone to factory settings, which took a lot to do for me. So I select wifi, agree to the terms and conditions, then TRY to login to my Google account. But now it always tells me that it can't maintain a stable connection. All of my other devices work fine with my wifi, and I even went to a friend's house to try. No luck. At this point my phone is bricked, and need some help. If you have any idea whats going on, or how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks!
Hi all,
Purchased the watch couple days ago, yesterday was my first day to really put it through it's paces. Everything seems copacetic except for the WiFi syncing. I've got cloud sync turned on in the Wear app, and WiFi on the watch is set to "Automatic". I verified the watch is indeed connected to a valid WiFi network, with no exclamation points, etc., and I turn off BT on my phone (but keep it's data connection on.) I then try sending a text from the watch, no luck - "Try again from your phone." fail message. I send myself a text from my wife's phone to my phone, the phone registers it, but the watch doesn't. I go into Keep and delete a note on the phone, the watch still shows it. It's not until they reconnect via BT that everything syncs again. Oh, and I tried it on three different WiFi networks (2 at work, 1 at home), no success.
Here's the only thing that I can think of being different. The very first time I turned WiFi off on the watch, there's was a small Yes/No splash screen that came up saying something to the effect of "turning this off will prevent you from syncing"... I THINK. Honestly I can't recall what it said precisely (I was too excited playing with the watch), but the multiple times I've toggled WiFi since then, I have not seen that message again. Anyone know what message I'm talking about? Of course since it hasn't come up again I'm convinced it's the reason WiFi syncing isn't working now. I even factory reset the watch and cleared the data on my Wear app, hoping to get that message back. (It could be completely unrelated, it's just bugging me that ever since I chose "Yes I'm sure", syncing has not worked.)
Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.

Did you ever figure this out?
I have the LG WATCH R with the Urbane rom and have the same issue. It shows connect to Wifi just fine but if I am away from the phone, I cannot send anything...just like when I have no connection.
I think the pop up you mentioned just had a option to prevent the warning from coming up again but should not affect the option to disable and enable the cloud sync.
Nope, afraid not. I posted it to the Google Android wear forums and a couple of "experts" replied to me with suggestions that did not help (factory reset, mainly.)

Yep that has been my "solutions" too so far. I am not sure how the Cloud Sync works do you? It is linked to your Google account? If so, I have 3 email accounts..could that create an issue? I am basically looking for anything right now
Here's what I did find out: my daily driver phone is a Moto X 2nd gen running Lollipop. I factory reset an old Samsung S4 and set it up with a Google account I'd just created. I then factory reset the watch and paired it to that phone. Wouldn't you know, the WiFi notifications worked!
I then factory reset the S4 again, this time using my main Google account to set it up. Factory reset the watch again also. After pairing them, the WiFi notifications did NOT work!
So, I can only conclude the issue is caused by how I have my main Google account configured, although right now I've gone through all the settings twice and verified that I have all of my sharing settings (like location) enabled. Argh.

Well my LG Watch R is now able to work with Wifi for real but only at home. Not sure what I did...I just deleted my accounts from Settings and added them back.
At work, though even when it shows connected, I do not receive any info from the Phone which is very lame since it was at work where I could really use it.

I have 3 google accounts so I actually deleted only two that are not my primary. Then I went to the Sync options and made sure all was checked.
Then also for the Location I removed any other devices that are showing under my account that are not my Phone (tablet and older phones) but not sure which one of those did the trick.

Huh, okay, I'll give those a try. Thanks.
I did open a ticket with Android Wear Support and was told they were going to escalate the issue and I'd be contacted in 48 hours. That was Sunday. I just asked for an update and they replied that they have no solution ATM and no time frame to provide one. Heh! Oh well.
After updating AW 2.0 to my watch, I am having trouble trying to set up google account on my watch. I have factory resetted the watch a several times, and I have cleared the cache of Android wear and Google service app.
Put the button on the watch. Go to the parameter, then go to personnalisation and enter your google account. Voil
I have the same issue. Did you manage to get a resolution?
or anyone have any ideas.
Running on Android wear 2.0 and Lenovo P2 on 7.0
Can anyone offer any advice on things to check or steps to try.
Basically when i try and add an account on either the initial set up or later, it never finds my Google Account. Just get the loading circle spinning and spinning.
I am pretty sure the problem is actually either the Android Wear app or the Lenovo ROM, as i can connect it fine with my LG G4.
Also have posts on the Lenovo forum and Android wear forum.

I am having the same problem. If you check google product forums, there are more people with various watches and phones having the same problem. I think its something on google's side. I wonder if downgrading to an older version of the wear phone app will work.

I was having this issue until today. I uninstalled the Android Wear app, Wiped Google Play services cache and data, downloaded and installed a Wear APK from february off of apkmirror, installed it, wiped cache and data for the app, reset my watch, and it worked! Rather than sitting at the loading animation forever, I was instantly brought to the copy accounts screen.
I tried going back to an old version, but I didn't go back to Feb. Thanks.

Try copy the account to your watch using your cell data not wifi

Thanks but no dice. Does this on both wifi and cell data.
solution is create a second google accout on the phone, disconnect and reset the watch, when you re-pair it to the phone both the old and new google accounts should show up, add the account you want and once the set up is complete go to accounts on the phone and delete the account you don't want.......worked for me on Sony z5 and moto 360
I just got the same problem, but found the solutions now. here's what the solutions i found from someone in the internet and it did work on mine. First, Remove your secondary or more google accounts in your mobile phone (make sure there's one left only), you can add it again later. And then you can try again to add account/ copy account from your watch.
The point is, the watch somehow can only copy account if there's only one google account on mobile phone.
Hope this help.

I tried everything and realized it was either downgrade to 1.5 or suck it up. I said forget this and bought a Samsung Gear S3.
Anyway, Google (and I say Google because this has happened across numerous brands on AW2) messed up on this one. I would have stuck with AW but for this, but their response has been totally unacceptable.

Hello,
I have been having a lot of trouble with NFC/Android pay recently, on the PDQ terminl the phone will often not seem topresent the token via NFC, I can use Android beam ok, device to device seems fine, but passive NFC tags seem to be an issue, I have tested with a few tags and they dont seem to pick up, i've also had a lot of issues using my yubikey, I think this is an issue with the NFC antenna, has anyone else experienced issues using NFC?
I wanted to ask before I ontact support.
Thanks.
NFC on phones with metal body generally have one sweet spot that you have to find out as manufacturers don't think putting this info somewhere is good idea.
In case of Nokia 8 I found out with help of people from other forums that this sweet spot is when you touch terminal with top frame (plastic part) and phone is at about 45 degree angle from the terminal's display. This way paying with Bank app or Android Pay goes through consistently.
The NFC on my Nokia 8 has made paying so much easier than on my Moto G5 Plus, on the Moto G5 Plus you had to be bang on, on the Nokia i seem to have a bigger area to play with so payments are much easier.
Since the update to Oreo I find that before I can read an NFC tag I have to turn off NFC and then turn it back on before it will successfully read. It worked fine with Nougat. Any ideas? Guess I'll wipe the cache partition from recovery and see if that helps.

Did this work? I'm having exactly the same problems with Transport for London terminals since the Oreo update. Works ok everywhere else but there I have to turn NFC off and back on and it works first time.
I found there is no choice in the Nokia 8 Recovery menu to clear cache partition after the Oreo update. Seemingly cache is handled different than in Nougat. I did wipe the cache and data from the NFC service itself via Apps and Notifications in Settings; at first it seemed to fix things but results were short-lived. Someone else has suggested that once NFC is switched off and back on it will stay functional up until the next time screen is locked.
At this point I'm resigned to waiting for the next update from Nokia.
Since I updated Oreo I think NFC is worse than before.
I think is more difficult to pay with my banks. One app hangs itself when I pay, the other one gives me an error. Sometimes NFC is not readed by the TPV. In Nougat I didn't have this problems.
It seems I have to aim for reading, appears the mobile has a very little NFC area. My girlfriend's mobile (Xperia Z1 compact) has a bigger NFC area.
I cannot read NFC post bus tags and Android Beam doesn't work. It's very rare.
Does your Android Beam or read NFC work fine? I'd have to do some configuration that I haven't done?
Thank you
Edit: I have noticed that NFC works reading a Card but it's very slow. I mean, I put the phone over the Visa card and the phone is over 3 seconds reading data. My girlfriend's mobile reads it while I'm putting it over the card... Maybe Oreo problem?
I didn't notice any change when paying - works as well as before once you know how to place the phone to the terminal.

I'm very disgusted. Now I have tried to pay with the phone and it didn't work. Finally i payed with a normal card.
I have read that NFC area is over the flash in the rear camera. Other people say that is located at left of the front camera.
Can somebody attach an image showing what is the correct form to place the phone on the TPV or where is the NFC area?
Thank you

NFC payment never worked with my Nokia 8 so far after using it a lot with my old phone, a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge. Android Beam works perfectly with the NOKIA 8.
Nokia support wasn't helpful.

There is a bug with the Oreo update. If you approach the terminal with your screen off and just press the power button while the contactless symbol is displayed on the machine then Android Pay should work every time. If you try unlocking with your fingerprint scanner to pay, or try paying with your screen unlocked already then it usually fails.
Turning on NFC before paying and turning off after paying, do the trick for me. Now I can always pay, with no issues.
I reckon that applications seems to be important. Spanish ING app is awful and fails a lot. Android Pay always works for me.

Surely it’s easier to just turn the screen off and then light the phone up with the power button than toggle NFC on and off?
Android Pay only always work for you because you toggle NFC on and off by the sounds of it. It always works for me too if I use the power button method but it isn’t supposed to be like this. It’s a fault and Nokia have been completely useless about acknowledging it - or any other issues. All they seem to care about is self-promotion and retweeting photos taken on Nokias.
My NFC works well for Payments (Through my Banks app not android pay - my bank don't support android pay annoyingly.) if the screen is on.. it doesn't matter how long its been on. I have to hold the phone at 45 degrees to the payment device as someone showed earlier.
It doesn't however.. ever work for passive tags (bank cards, passport, NFC stickers etc), the angle position and turning on/off or unlocking dont make any difference.. it never works.
It does seem like the problems are inconsistent and some devices work better than others.. Nokia really need to address the issue.
NFC fixed in Beta of 8.1
Sent from my TA-1052 using Tapatalk
interestingly, I can read tags and cards better by holding it flat on the area just under the cameras, on ta-1012. I've not tried with a payment terminal yet, but it shouldn't be different... should it?
Does anyone know how to remove spyware and malware for the note 9, I am getting sick of wiping my phone ,when I know persons are hacking into my phone ,right now I know it has to be something to do with the phone serial number and bluetooth. I had to turn off low power scan and scan for near by devices. I only use bluetooth when I am in my car so when it on I got a feeling there can hack in that way, I don't leave my bluetooth on when I am not using it can anyone help me on this matter person can watch me using my phone view anything my camera see which is the front camera or the rear camera there can also view what I have open when I am using my phone.
Wtf
Is that even possible? I know that there is some software what can be written to firmware ant that way it will survive hard reset. If your phone is not rooted and you using factory firmware then is impossible for someone to access your phone remotely. If you use any software which allows for remote access to your phone, log to your account, preferably from clean pc and change your passwords and user name if possible.

I use Samsung Internet Beta in "Secret Mode" with all anti tracking options enabled and Samsung's "Disconnect for Samsung Internet" and ExpressVPN.
The only extra step usage wise is my bank and some other financial institutions send an email confirmation when logging in!
Idk wtf bs
Photo's[emoji2398] by Sully using SM-N960U or SM-870A
So... Is that hacker accessing your camera every time you accidentally double-press the power button? since you don't remember it being open when you press the power button?
Although BlueBorne was a known bluetooth vulnerability, that was 2 years ago, likely patched on a recent flagship like the note 9
I think it maybe BlueBorne but my note 9 was stuck on the August security patch. Ok from the beginning I bought the phone in December waited and waited and I didn't get any updates to the phone so from December to late February I was still on August security patch bear in mine I try almost every day to manually update my the uses of setting and nothing work so I take the phone back to the store I bought it from and there give a BS story about Samsung and update it to the January security patch as I ask so I know the phone can be updated, after I got back the phone I say to myself being that the phone is an unlock phone I did my research and look for a open market that had the pie update so I did a clean wipe one with the phone and one in the recovery before I use Odin to install pie but I hanging over my head that here may be somehow there got back in after the pie update cause I know for sure for December to when I wipe the phone myself all my info was be pull from my phone , picture, video, important data, and as I said the camera being use but the app is not open put this way, if my phone was a computer and you was in the next room using screen mirror and just watch what I doing on my phone plus the ability to use file at will or even download them.

Is that even possible? I know that there is some software what can be written to firmware ant that way it will survive hard reset. If your phone is not rooted and you using factory firmware then is impossible for someone to access your phone remotely. If you use any software which allows for remote access to your phone, log to your account, preferably from clean pc and change your passwords and user name if possible.

So... Is that hacker accessing your camera every time you accidentally double-press the power button? since you don't remember it being open when you press the power button?

It a pioneer car radio and I know of the interference you are talking about I had a Microsoft zune and that use to pick up all two way radio signals that mean if I am walking down the road and a truck pass i can hear the two way road. But what I am talking about is that the voices I am hearing are voices of persons I know I should had started with that i the bluetooth audio because you will be able to hear them better that way cause the volume is louder that the speaker on the phone and if it quite you can hear them also. Even tracking my data if I call my phone company and ask about my data for the month it doesn't match back to the Samsung data tracker nor glasswire data tracker. Trust me I not going off but if people are doing doing for year you get to pick up on little thing your phone is doing that you yourself is not doing to the phone.

You can still add you input besides that picture
I personally dont think anyone is spying on you. In any case, just wipe your phone and reinstall. If you have backups go through each app and make sure theres no rouge apps.
If you dont want to go through the long process go into apps then into permissions. Disable unwanted permission like camera, microphone on apps that shouldnt need those permissions.
You should really install apps through playstore or apk pure. Apps with mods and cracks are the ones you should stay clear.
We live in a super connected planet interference can happen so easily! Not sure what network provider you are with ? Some network providers suck others are awesome! All depends who you with ??
Also your data not matching up, can be easily be mismatched as servers not updating or your data is on the sever but server only updates once a week or a month to save cost there to many factors involved to say this is the issue
Plus you did say you have reset your Note 9! So how can he really keep track of how much data you have used ?
Mr Ted Harris you are not being hacked or being spied just take a deep breath and relax!

I have three different ways of tracking my data glasswire my network provider and the Samsung way, the thing is in January I get a text message from the provider saying I use up 95% of my data I was at a loss cause if i have a 8gb plan a month and what is not use roll over to the next month and any large download I do on wifi even to update my app I do on wifi, I don't use YouTube on my data for sure Facebook can't be pulling that much data or Instagram, the network provider can't be wrong as as I am typing I have use 1.8gb out of 8gb for the month so for and not putting in to account what I had roll over from February cause glasswire nor Samsung registers what is roll over, just making a example.

Yes I understand about disabling unwanted permissions but as reinstalling app goes you have two options Google or Samsung, Google reinstalling everything you had on your phone even if you downloaded it for apkpure once it can come from the play store, so if a app the say not available in this region and you use apkpure to download it, it will be redownload back for the play store, where as Samsung reinstalling all apps even if there come for the play store or Galaxy store, can it be possible I am redownload the spyware or malware from Samsung cloud as I am restoring my app, in the picture I what I have installed on my phone at the moment only thing I don't normally use is the Norton app.
