I uploaded a video for you. It's 5 minutes but you probably will get a better idea .... https://streamable.com/fyw6p

Notes:

1. In the video I forgot to unpair in the bluetooth settings but it still worked!

2. Your watch needs to be ready for a new phone to be paired. (screenshot attached below).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fearbit:
Thanks for making this video but still didn't help...I have the galaxy watch 46mm and not the gear S3...when I pair the watch with the phone (when the number shows up in both devices) the connection for some reason stops...the Bluetooth icon in the upper bar disappears..I then go to Bluetooth settings and I can see that there isn't any device connected to the phone...so the wearable app stays in the finishing pairing screen
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] thrasher97:
Are you downloading Galaxy watch plugin instead Gear s plugin?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fearbit:
Damnit...that was the problem...wow.. I'm so happy..thank you sooooo much!!! I was in the process of downloading an Oreo rom for my phone....again..a billion thanks[emoji106][emoji122][emoji106][emoji122][emoji91][emoji817][emoji91][emoji16][emoji16]

I'm glad that it was helpful, likewise it's useful that someone with Galaxy Watch has tried the method
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrorblade:
has anyone managed to update the watch ( gear s3 ) to the one UI and still maintain connection ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] since HOX:
It worked for galaxy watch thanks for your effort my friend.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] JPBD:
Worked for me, had to reset the Gear after update. Then delete and reinstall alle the apps from OP. Pair again. Apply FW. Done. Working for 4 days straight now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Velogr1992:
you managed to pair it with a galaxy watch? Did you have ONE UI on galaxy watch or the previous one?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dimas03:
Im on S7 Flat, using BD NFE v3 port, and successfully connected with my Gear S3 using above steps.

Its the best workaround I can have with this Pie port rom. Notification and vibration works, wearable app are using latest plugin.

Thanks [MENTION=7054993]thrasher97[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5790855]elkidz[/MENTION]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Harrygsr:
The latest plugin? Did you not block wearables app with Afw? Did it update and still no connection issues after reboots of phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dimas03:
What I mean is I am using latest Gear S Plugin with the N version, or as stated as per OP.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Harrygsr:
Oh I see. I thought you meant that once you had it connected, everything updated and you didn't have any issues. I'm also running the most recent plugin with the N. In just so happy to have my gear fit2 connected again ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] since HOX:
I am using Norma Pie rom. I did exactly how explained in the video. During the first trial no success with pairing than I made factory reset to galaxy watch and tried again and result was great. The only problem was that I could not get back my backup file from Samsung cloud.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Adderall_1:
Thank you so much for that fix.

Everything is working right now, and i can use my watch again :)

Thx

How can I update my Galaxy watch? Because when I click update watch software on the Galaxy wear app it says registration failed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrorblade:
First open app when app loads press the home button and disable firewall. Then from recent apps go again to wearable app. Give it a second or two to detect internet connection and then try updating ( it should work fine ) when you update remember to re enable the firewall because wearable app always checks if there is a newer update when it launches
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] fearbit:
Hello again..after sometime with no problems of using my watch paired with my phone,i got this message when opening the wearable app: you have to download additional software in order to use all your devices...I then press ok..and after that my phone stops syncing with the phone...

I did all the pairing procedure from the beginning and it works for a while but then again the watch stops working with the phone..[emoji848]I have the Afwall enabled all the time..

Hi,

I can't seem to understand how you fixed your problem?

I have the same as yours.

There is no Galaxy Watch Plugin, just Galaxy S plugin.

Can you pls explain?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] francitato02:
wait, what did you do exactly? are you using galaxy watch or gear? can you tell me exactly what you did to get it working?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] lintran2206:
How can you do it exactly, cause I also use light rom pie? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] VoidedKN0X:
what excatly does the firewall do? I mean like why can't we use the app without firewall?

Also i'm not able to connect to the watch it keeps getting stuck on "connecting to gear..."
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KidSpartan:
I have the same issue with my galaxy watch active. I tried to follow the exact instructions as OP, but I think the plugin is only meant for S3 watches, whereas I have the Galaxy Watch Active.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dimas03:
Did you try to use Galaxy Watch Plugin.apk instead of Gear S Plugin.apk ?

You can download the latest version from Apkmirror.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KidSpartan:
I have installed the first version of the Galaxy Watch Active Plugin.apk and the latest versions of the Gear Wear app and the Samsung Accessory Service app.

I can confirm that my watch is currently connected to my rooted S7 flat w/ the NFE OneUI port, using the workaround with the firewall. I always have the firewall enabled, because I am afraid that it might disconnect my watch and I would have to go through all this hassle once again. I have not tested to leave the firewall off after the initial first successful connection. It'd be great to be able to check the weather on my watch, which is one of the primary reasons why I got the watch in the first place. Could someone test that out?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] francitato02:
Have you installed even gear s plugin or just galaxy watch plugin? Which rom are you using? Can you tell me exactly what did you do to pear it? Because I've tried with my rom and my Galaxy watch (42mm) and i'm always looping at the end
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KidSpartan:
I followed the instructions from the OP. I did not install the Gear S plugin, as I do not have the S2/3 watch.

I am using the BlackDiamond v.3 ROM (NFE OneUI port).

I uninstalled everything that the OP said to uninstall (1. Gear wearable, 2. all plugins, 3. Samsung Accessory Service, 4. SASystemProviders). You'll have to go into [on your phone] settings -->apps --> include system apps to make sure all 4 of those apps are uninstalled.

I unlinked the watch from the bluetooth menu on my phone. I went on my watch, and went into settings and scrolled to the bottom, where it says "Connect a new phone." I followed the on-watch screen instructions (note: this will wipe the watch). Then I left the watch in pairing mode.

I downloaded the Gear Wearable directly from the Play Store and the FireWall app (note: requires root to use this app, but I guess since you have a custom ROM, then you must be rooted. If you're not rooted, then you're doing something wrong, having a custom ROM but being unrooted). Make sure you do not even launch the Gear Wearable App.

Then I installed the Samsung Accessory Service and the Galaxy Watch Active (in your case, just the Galaxy Watch) plugin APKs. You can find them on apkmirror.com (the most trusted site for apks, except it is filled with ads, but at least it is trusted by the community). Make sure none of the apps have been launched yet.

Then I went into the Firewall App (AFWall+) and I searched for that app (Gear wearable) : all three of them should be under one single row entry. I ticked all 3 boxes for that row. I then tap the settings (3 dots on the top right corner) and hit save and turn on firewall. This will prevent those apps from accessing network functions (cannot connect to internet, cannot update itself). Then I launched the Gear Wearable app and did the setup as normally.

I still haven't turned off my firewall, for fear of being unable to connect back after this tedious setup. There is a guy who posted a video describing this exact process on this thread. You can look for it, although he used the Gear S plugin, I did the same exact procedure but with the Watch Active plugin. I'm sure it will be the case for the Galaxy Watch plugin. Good luck! Let me know if it worked!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] francitato02:
i've tried to do exactly what you did, but nothing, always same loop at the end :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] KidSpartan:
Try downloading the exact same version number of the apps that OP posted. I know it didn't work for me if I used the latest version of the Samsung Accessory Service apk.

I also used the very first version of the Watch Active plugin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kadabra12:
You have to install the latest plugin for your watch with the N in final version name (N is the plugin version for non Samsung phone, you can use latest but only N version, afwall+ prevent plugin to update to a non N version because N version is released after a while from the non N version) and use Samsung accessory service provided in the thread, I try various version but the only working is the version provided here in the guide.

Try this gear watch plugin, my wife use this with her watch active and Light rom v10 and everything is working good.

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...plugin-2-2-05-19050841n-android-apk-download/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cosmobi:
However, I can only open and use the Wearable APP if I turn off the Internet completely. Internet is on the APP wants to update again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kadabra12:
You can do all the first setup using internet, you have to activate firewall after the first pairing and watch setup, I do this with my gear s2 and my wife watch active and pairing is everytime working, if it won't work for you probably you are doing something wrong with the procedure
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] cosmobi:
Could set up my Galaxy Watch and everything works fine. Only the wearable APP, I can only open without Internet. Even putting the hook in AF firewall did not succeed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kadabra12:
Strange things, I never had this kind of issue, you can try to put the phone in airplane mode and deactivate the firewall, reboot phone after a cache and dalvik clear in twrp and after a reboot (in airplane mode) switch on bluetooth and try launch gear manager if this work you can re-enable afwall+ and after deactivate airplane mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] amadhatter:
Ok, using Black Diamond NFE v4 and have a Gear Fit2 watch.

Downloaded the Samsung Accessory Services apk from Opening Post and put it on the phones sdcard.

Downloaded this plugin https://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.samsung.android.gearfit2plugin/ and put in on the phones sdcard.

Downloaded Gear Wearable from the Play store.

Downloaded the AFWall+ app from Play Store.

Unpaired the Gear Fit 2 from the Bluetooth connection.

Reset the Gear Fit2.

Did the firewall thing [see opening post screenshot].

Installed Samsung Accessory Services.

Installed Gear Fit2 plugin.

Opened the Gear Wearable app and went through the setup and got passed the pairing stage. Yeaaaahhh

However, Samsung Health is not showing my steps [correction: cleared cache and data and it is now syncing] and I can't download any previous clocks etc because of the firewall, I presume [Correction: turned off firewall and then was able to download them.].
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] majko2310:
Almost the same, with exception of rom, Calvioppe Port 5.0-OMC and Gear S3. Used the same steps, and when Wearabe wouldn`t connect to the store I unblock it in firewall app, and left it unblocked for the Samsung Health. Will post when/if it stops working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] amadhatter:
Regarding Samsung Health, I cleaned cache and data and went through the setup for the app again. I ticked all the boxes but when i clicked next I got an error message regarding the server. Went back and some of the boxes were not ticked, I left them like that and clicked next and it worked.

EDit: Still working. I have disabled the firewall to allow me to download previously downloaded and installed clock faces. Have left the firewall disabled. No issues at all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] amadhatter:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] brusniss:
This is what worked for me

This is what worked on my Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) and Galaxy Watch Active (SM-R500)

- uninstall all samsung apps/services

- unpair watch from bluetooth if exists

- turn off internet (wifi & mobile data)

- reboot phone

- reset watch

- Manual install APK's (sdcard or Downloads)

1. Install com.samsung.accessory_3.1.91.80809.apk

2. Install 4_com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_2019-09-02.apk

3. Install 4_com.samsung.android.gearpplugin_2019-09-03.apk

4. Install 5_com.sec.android.app.shealth_2019-09-17.apk

- Hide all Samsung services from root in Magisk Manager

- Open Wear APP and finally paired

- Goto AFWALL block gear, dont forget to hit apply. After updating Wear apk, the watch wont pair anymore.

- enable wifi+mobiledata

Apologies, I am a new user and I am not allowed to paste links to the APK's. I got the first one from the first post, and the last 3 from apkmonk,.

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nicohak:
Tried different custom Pie Roms, but was impossible to pair the Galaxy watch, or finish install Wearable app. I managed to pair Galaxy watch even wit a Huawei phone, but unrooted

Only flashing an Oreo Rom resolve the problem.

In Oreo you will get no issue pairing the Samsung watch with your phone through Galaxy Wearable app from Google play
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] himan7991:
Worked!

I have been trying to get this watch to pair with my phone for the past... i dont even know how long and it was driving me crazy. But thanks, this worked!

PS. Even though the screenshot is missing, i'm assuming i have to block all connections from the Gear app. If you see this, you might want to upload the picture again :good:

Accidentally updated my Gear Wearable, and my watch stopped pairing.

What I tried:

Decided to do step-by-step by the tutorial from the OP. didn't work.

Found this post quoted above. Did everything step by step (even got the "n" version from apkmonk). didn't work. I even wiped the watch every time and rebooted my phone several times.

Used Galaxy Wearable version released somewhere around September.

Any ideas? I have Galaxy Watch Active 2. Previously it worked for me for a month (when i just got them)

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Sorry for double-posting, but decided it was worthy

Now, I have managed to successfully repair my Galaxy Active2 Watch. I accidentally found that I had the files I used for my first installation still on my sdcard in downloaded folders.

Here are the files and their sums I used:

1. Galaxy Wearable app ver 2.2.27.19083061

2. Galaxy Active2 Plugin ver. 2.2.08.19111941N

3. Samsung Accessory Services ver. 3.1.91.80809

If you use the instructions I've quoted in the previous post, it will work.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] maris__:
My experience with the Galaxy Watch + Pie is: you can update the Galaxy Wearable app and the plugin app to the latest version (plugin app always in the "N" version), each, but we have to keep the Samsung Accessory Service app as linked in the op. In addition, after a reboot, using the "Apply" function in the AFWall+ app is helpful to avoid silly update messages.

For people which will have problem with pairing samsung smartwatch with Pie rom.

You have to download the latest Samsung plugin (for your model) with N on the end in file name from app mirror, then accessory file from first post and turn off data during paring. My RM-800 works with S7 Android 9.0 NFE 1UI too.
