Has anyone tried connecting a Gear S2/S3 to their Mi Mix? I got it to connect to my 3g Gear S2 just fine and gave all the apps all the permissions they needed (and then some) but the Samsung Pay app won't show up in the gear app for install and nothing, and I mean nothing, will show up in the galaxy app store. I've tried 2 factory reboots and rebooting my phone and still nothing. To me, the Gear S2 is worthless without a working galaxy app store. Anyone else have this problem or have a possible solution? My Huawei watch works perfectly as does my Pebble Time Steel so the Gear S2 seems to be the only one with an issue.
Please help! Thanks.
If I remember the Samsung store app won't run on non Samsung devices, could be wrong though. I dropped Samsung watches awhile back after the proprietary behavior they showed with the early Fit's ... went to a Moto 360 and haven't looked back.

Well I would agree except my Gear S2 works perfectly on my old Nexus 6P and Honor 8. So I'm thinking there is something that is blocking its use. I have noticed that the China rom blocks a few things (google opinion rewards for example). I've tried the latest global official rom too and it is even worse. I can't even connect the watch to the phone before the gear app just crashes. I guess it just won't work on MIUI. No big deal really as my Huawei watch is sufficient and nicer in my opinion.
I have the same error with my Samsung Pay Gear S2 app. Whenever I try to open it, it returns the error that Samsung Pay cannot be accessed by rooted devices for security reasons. Unroot your device to use Samsung Pay. I have downloaded the SuperUs app to try to unroot it and it says that no root detected on my phone. My Samsung Pay app used to work just fine until they upgraded it. Now it doesn't work anymore.
Does Samsung Pay work on non Samsung devices?
Does any one know why I don't have SPO2 app in my galaxy watch 3 samsung health app? I have ecg and everything else but not that. Can someone help me out.

Where do you live?
SPO2 depends on your firmware i believe. Only BP/ECG can be installed via TPK/Samsung health apk.
I'm in France and cant get SPO2 neither, it is country based.

If you're in France and you want SP02 to work, you can try resetting your watch (make a backup first) and choose e.g. Spain as region.
Spain supports Samsung Pay and SP02. And as you said, BP/ECG can be sideloaded to the Watch.
I live in Holland, but chose Spain as region. I have everything working (SPay, SP02, BP and ECG).
Thank you so much @congusto, it's work for me, in France, that was a few week that i'm looking to activate this feature so i'm happy to read your tips.

Yes i already tried this, but i'm on note10+ with french samsung store, and my gw3 is LTE version. I had resetted mobile lte when i did watch reset wifi / BT off. Still didnt work.
Maybe i did something wrong...
If you have a clear walkthrough i'd be happy to test again.
Maybe need to change samsung store on N10+ to spain too?
You need this 2 apk :

When you have reset your watch with spanish region set, install this 2 apk and the widget will be in your watch

Maybe for BT version, but what about LTE?
When you did this, did you disable wifi bluetooth etc?
Do you have a Samsung phone? Did you reinstall Samsung health?
Want to make sure that i will not reset for nothing again ?
Thanks
I've got LTE version of GW3 and a Note 20 Ultra, not need to reinstall Healt.
I've do this yesterday, and trust me i was very boring to reset the watch, but it's work good.

No O2 widget...
Install the two apps and then, on your phone in Galaxy Wearable, you'll see in widgets section.

Did all this but no widget.
I remember having it long time ago, but it would not show up on watch (french region).
Now i dont see it anymore in Wearable.
There must be a walkthrough to have it work... Maybe it's because Samsung Health is french store version. Maybe need to connect 1st time to the watch with no internet connectivity on the phone until all steps are done. Dunno, this drives me nuts!
i will give you the step by step in few moment...
I'd do last night so it's no pssible that don't work.
Did you have install the two apps ? Did you had activate ECC ?
When ECC is activated, go in Galaxy Wearable and let's see the new widget are comming, ECC, blood pressure and SPo2, just add, save and see to your watch...
Here you can follow every step, title is "Galaxy Watch 2" but it's exactly the same for GW3

Yup i've had ecg/bp for over a month already.
But no o2 widgets shows up.
Did you reset Galaxy wearable app?
The account im logued onto Wearable has parameter region France (same as the phone).
I think there's some region conflict but cant figure what, something that doesnt allow me to see this widget. I might try again without Samsung health app on phone just to check... damn
Is you watch connected to LTE? Mine is (disabled though for the reset).

So, my watch is LTE version, and connected.
Did you follow the steps in the Youtube video ?
i repeat one more time, after install the two apps, try ECG, it's work good, and go on your phone, check update Samsung Health (ver 6.12.1.001), Wearable (2.2.34.20091461) + Watch3 Plugin (ver 2.2.09.20090251) and watch firmware (R845FXXU1BTG7). After this, in Galaxy Wearable on your phone, let's see the list of widget available, and you'll see, when scrolling down, Samsung Health "oxygène dans le sang" , put the + button on the left and save, wait until watch and phone sync. and that's all.
That's exactly what i'm doing for have this feature.
@adfree that's why we use this method, to activated this feature, that's what i do last night and it's ok for me.

I think the LTE version of the watch is the problem. I have the BT version and all I have to do to change the region to a selected group of Western Europe countries is a reset. The watch asks which region you want when it restarts after the reset. LTE is not supported in Holland, where I am, so I guess the group of countries to chose from is even more limited (one only?) when you have an LTE version.
It's not the phone CSC I think. My Note 10+ is on PHN (Holland) and that is irrelevant for the choice I got on the watch.
There is no matter with LTE version because i've do it on mine.
Just follow the step in right order, and that's work find.
I've found the solution in a mix of a topic here on XDA forum, and the Youtube video that i linked here.
Work for everybody, no conflict with other region of the phone because only watch region is important.
So, for everybody want to have SPo2 available, just follow the step, that's all. You don't need to look for a problem, there don't have anyone.

Of course i did follow, i have also the same versions as yours. the widgets BP and ECG appear but not Oxy.
But blood oxygen will not show up, whereas it was fine before. Did you use language : France (France) and Region : Spain ?
I remember that i used to see this widget some time ago, when i had chosen region France i could see Oxy in Wearables but wouldnt show up on watch.
Now i just dont see it anymore in Wearable.
I"m going to restart and retry over... Been like 4 times already
Anyways thanks much for your help. Hope i get it solved.

Not a problem with region, read above
Region Spain and language French, that's right.
When your watch is reset, for the first connection with your phone, in wearable you need to add new device, and appair as a new, of course. And when it's connected, you can run save. After install the 2 apk, run Samsung Healt Monitor freshly install, from your watch, launch ECG config, run one time, go to your phone apps Wearable, widget etc... That's what i do.
I can try to make real tuto, maybe a video to explane all process step by step, but really, i don't want to reset my watch now 'cause everything is done, save and more but if that's the only solution, i think i can do.
Can Wear OS run on the X Fold?
I have TAG connected watch and I read that it does not work with Chinese ROM
I have the TicWatch 3 PRO Ultra and although it was a pain in the ... to make it work, Managed it with both the Chinese and Play versions of the Wear OS app installed together. it is fiddly but eventually, it works. Also, I get all the notifications on the watch (even the ones that will not show up on the phone...

Tutorial unfortunately no as I did not follow any... First tried installing Wear OS from the Play store but it was not finishing the setup. Then I downloaded Wear OS from the Vivo store (the so-called Chinese version. This one does not have any Google Account integration) I gave all possible permissions to both of them (yes, they can be installed at the same time.) Then somehow the Play Store version worked and connected to the watch. I installed also the TicWatch App that is needed (in my case. Guess TAG has one too) and after some more fiddling with notification permissions, it just worked. I get all my notifications and everything seems to sync properly.
I hope that they will really release the phone in India next month, as usually, the Indian releases are Global ROMs with more compatibility with everything. Then we should be able to flash it on our devices...
I have my Galaxy Watch connected.
First loaded the Chinese Wear app, then the Galaxy Wear app.
BUT it won't stay connected. It's OK while the phone is open, but as soon as the phone logs off the Bluetooth disconnects.
I've given the Wear apps every possible permission and power settings but it just won't stay connected.
Just to update from my last post, I've decided to trade in my Galaxy Watch 3 for the new Watch 5. Will be interested to see if that makes any difference. Probably not
I have the same issue - cannot keep my galaxy watch connected (it's the 1st gen)
All is fine and after a while it just disconnects.
The galaxy Buds Live are fine and keep connected.
I'm using the Galaxy wearable app. (as these devices are not Wear OS i think)

No success with the Watch 5, as I reported in a separate thread. I'll wait for the Pixel Watch.
Got my Galaxy watch (1st gen i guess) successfully paired and it keeps connected. As long as the 2 devices are bound. (once disconnected i have to reconnect via the wear app - no big deal)
Thing is though - battery usage of the watch is through the roof. I hardly get a full day out of it.
Anyone know what might be causing this?

First gen Galaxy Watches did not have a very good battery life to begin with... 1.5 to 2 days at most with good use. Another thing is that the connection between the watch and the phone is not stable for some reason (probably due to the stupid Vivo battery optimizations or some Bluetooth issue)... For instance, my Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS (names those things) lasted about 3 days with my old Galaxy S21 Ultra but now I struggle to get 2 with the Vivo X Fold...
Which Watch work with X Fold ? It seems no one actually. i have 2/3 Xiaomi, nothing work and it's not Band !!
Samsung Watch 3 works. Samsung Watch 5 does not work.
I now have Huawei GT3 pro and it works perfectly. Does not use Wear. Great battery life, eight days so far !
I agree nt so bad... nothing better than others... But qualitative.
Everything work ?

I have a Vivo X Note and also a TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra. Wear OS works well together with the Chinese version. The only and for me the biggest problem is that I cannot pay with a card via Google wallet from watch. When I open the apk and want to add a payment card, it says a connection error with my mobile phone, and on my X Note Wallet does not open through google play services, and I cannot add the card to the watch. I have no problem with paying on my mobile, Wallet works ok there. If I connect the watch to the Lenovo Yoga Tab tablet, Wear OS from the Google Play Store works there without any problems, and I also add all the cards to the Wallet in the watch. I read on the forums that the problem is with the new versions of the Google Play services and that it will help to downgrade the older version lower than 21.26.58. The problem is that when installing, the system gives an error and cannot be installed... So at the moment I have a working watch, but no payment, which is frustrating. Have you tried paying with your watch?

Hello
Does anyone manage to make the Remote Connection work? It's missing in the Galaxy Wear settings.
I'm guessing it's related to the Wear OS China version app.
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.
