[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Zagzagel:
I found I can only change the APN in standalone mode. The option is blanked out when it is paired to the phone. To set up your watch in standalone mode, do the following:

1. Pair the watch like normal to your phone using the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app. Use the blue eSIM card to add the AT&T network settings to your watch by scanning the QR code with your phone.

2. Go to General settings and Reset your watch, but leave the network settings on the device. Don't delete the network settings on the watch, but unpair it from your phone by forgetting it in Bluetooth settings and in the Galaxy Wearable App.

3. After the watch reboots and you are on the yellow "Let's Go" screen, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a couple of icons that look like a "?" and a globe. Press the icon that looks like a "?", and it will ask you if you want to set up the watch in standalone mode. In this mode, the watch works as a standalone device, and uses its own phone number separate from your phone. It will ask you to enter the user name and password for your Samsung account using WiFi, and let you select the AT&T network settings that you left on your watch in step 2.

4. Now that the device is set up in standalone mode, you should be able to change the APN for the Internet Connection to "Phone" and save the APN setting. After you reboot your watch, turn off WiFi and the device should automatically connect to the mobile network if you have mobile data turned on. You should be able to see the little "4G LTE" icon next to the signal bars.

5. Now that you are connected to the mobile data network, you should be able to generate a Numbersync code under Mobile Network settings. When the watch generates the code, you need to go to att.com on a browser or in the myAT&T app and manage the network settings for your phone. If you go into your wireless account settings on att.com and select your phone, there should be a link below that says "Manage Numbersync'". If you click on that, it will show you another link that lets you pair a device. Click on that link and enter the code shown on your watch.

6. Your watch should now be synced to your phone via Numbersync, but it will not be paired via Bluetooth. In other words, your watch will ring when somebody calls your phone number and you will be able to send texts, but you won't be able to receive notifications from your phone or install apps using the Galaxy Wear app on your phone because the watch is in standalone mode. You will only receive notifications from the apps installed using the Galaxy Store on the watch itself, and you can only install apps using the standalone Galaxy Store on the watch.

7. If you want to receive notifications from your phone, go into settings and scroll to the bottom where it says "Pair to a New Phone". If you press this, it will allow you to pair to your phone like normal. The watch will reboot, but it will retain the apps, mobile network settings and Numbersync settings you applied in standalone mode.

I hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Tumbleweedtoo:
I finally got a text from ATT this morning that NumberSync was working. It did not work during the three or four times I tried. So, I called Tech Support about it and after a LONG wait and during the call my phone battery died on the other phone I was using. Then, I tried NumberSync again and it did connect properly to the ATT website to enter the Sync Code. I do not know if Tech Support worked magic or if it just worked. like it was supposed to work. I called Tech Support because after getting the Sync Code the first time it did not take me to the area on the ATT website to type in the Sync Code and their website on mobile apps is so poor that after 15 minutes of searching I could not find where to add the Sync Code. In any event, it seems to be working for me now (at least the watch says it is connected). For how long it will work is anyone's guess!

Hopefully, this will encourage others!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
I think somebody on the Samsung Community might have misspelled their response but it sure does sound like it's exactly what you did only that they had AT&T tech support do it on their end I guess. Check it out, screenshot attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Zagzagel:
It's possible. I've had my Galaxy Watch 3 paired to my iPhone for a couple of days, and both mobile data and Numbersync have been working fine. However, I noticed today that mobile data didn't turn on again when I was away from my phone. I switched the APN setting for the Internet Connection from "phone" back to the default "NXTGENPHONE" and mobile data started working again.

I think AT&T just got caught by surprise, and they are working on fixing things in the background. I remember the same thing happened when the original Galaxy Watch Active came out. It took about a month after the new watch and firmware came out that everything was stable again.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] dkdaye:
YEP GOT IT TO WORK -- it was a problem with the APN. After the upgrade the APN is set to 'nextgenphone' which seems like it is not working properly. When I created the new APN for both Internet and MMS as 'Phone' with IPv4/IPv6 everything started to work.

My watch was working perfectly fine before the upgrade and for 3 weeks I went through sending it back to Samsung, many calls to ATT - I wish I had found this post first!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] cavscout83:
I have been having this same issue for the last couple of weeks. I got a brand new active 2, and got the "numbersync is unavailable" message. After many hours in the store and on the phone we decided just to get a different one. So I ordered the watch 3 and got it yesterday. After 6 hours in the store and a few hours on the phone I am now waiting on a call back from tech support. They were supposed to call back within 24 hours and its been about 36 now. I tried creating a new APN as mentioned above with no luck. Although I'm not sure if I did it right. Hopefully they find a solid fix for this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] cavscout83:
So the next day almost exactly 48 hours since I was on the phone with tech support I received a text from ATT saying my issue was resolved and to restart my devices. The watch actually generated a code for the first time, but the site kept freezing up and the code almost timed out. I thought I was going to be stuck in the same boat but it all connected and everything seems to be working fine so far
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
Update:

Finally got my watch back again from Samsung repair (this was the second service repair). Went to the AT&T store and got a new esim activation code, set it up and IT WORKS! It synced up nicely using NumberSync.

Here's what I notice... I'm positive they rolled back the software update. I took screenshots of the watch info before I sent it in and the software it came back with is this: R825USQU1ASI1

The software it had when I sent it in is this: R835USQU1ATF2.

Did they actually pull that software update? I, of course, turned off auto update on the gear app soon as I noticed that.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnNadeau:
I edited my original post to include the Sep 02 2020 update R825USQU1ATH1 .

Frustrating... we have two Active 2 SM-R825U's... one with an LTE/Data Plan, the other without (WiFi Only).

The one with the LTE/Data Plan has received both the July and Sep 2020 updates in a timely manner, while the one without has not received either.

Wonder if Samsung will ever update their SM-R825U's running WiFi Only :(
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
Has anybody updated to this new software ATH1? I'm wondering if it will again change our APN info and hence break numbersync.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Tumbleweedtoo:
I would like to know the answer to this question too. I have not installed the update yet, and am hesitant to do so until this question is answered. I do not have a Samsung phone, but one that ATT says is supported. I wonder if an update might render my phone no longer supported. Also, I have not read any real advantage to taking the risk and updating the watch software.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] rmcomer:
My watch updated to the new software on the 4th. I didn't even notice the update until I happened to open the Wearable app. Numbersync is still working and I can also see that it's active on the watch in my AT&T account info for Numbersync.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] slyger:
I have the same issue. I'm stuck on Tizen 4.0.0.6 still and haven't received either updates on the RM-825U watch without the LTE plan. I was hoping to get EKG and BP monitoring installed in this watch and from what i've read I need to update to Tizen 4.0.0.8 for that to happen. When I manually try and update on the watch it tells me that there are no updates available. I'm in the USA and I'm not sure if you can simply flash a newer firmware version etc (i'm still catching up on reading through this forum).

Were you able to find a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnNadeau:
Hey [MENTION=4262246]slyger[/MENTION]: we have two Active 2 SM-R825U's... one with an LTE/Data Plan, the other without (WiFi Only).

The one with the LTE/Data Plan has received both the July and Sep 2020 updates in a timely manner, while the one without has not received either.

I can tell you that the Updated LTE Watch went to R825USQU1ATH1, but sadly remains on Tizen 4.0.0.6 :(

I too would like the EKG/BP feature but it looks like I'll have to wait until Samsung officially releases the update.

Once I see the official Samsung update on our LTE Watch, I might enable LTE on our second watch for a limited period of time just to get the update LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] defeat2:
Only South Korea has 4.0.0.8, so you would have to flash the korean CSC to the watch, making it think its a korean one and then it would update to 4.0.0.8 via OTA i think. But you would lose both LTE and samsung pay. I wouldn't screw with that if I had a carrier-based/locked watch, might be hard to flash it back to stock
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] slyger:
hmm, thanks for the clarification! It wasn't clear to me that that was the case. I have an unlocked LTE variant of the watch and I don't care much about the LTE features as I don't ever intend putting it on ATT. etc but permanently losing Samsung Pay wouldn't be ideal even if I don't use it frequently. The main thing I'm trying to get clarification on now is if the LTE versions of the watch actually get updates at all if they aren't on an LTE plan?? If they don't then I might consider screwing around with it and or selling it and getting a non LTE version.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] defeat2:
If you have an unlocked variant you should be able to find links to download the stock software somewhere in the other threads here. Then you could always flash it back to stock. But look carefully so its really the software for your region.

The reason samsung pay doesn't work is simply because korea don't have samsung pay I think. If samsung releases 4008 for any other country you should be able to use that software in US. Other regions samsung pay works over here in Sweden anyway.

Weird that you only have access to 4006 on unlocked 825s in the US, mine is 4007. You would think they would prioritize US first and little Sweden absolutely last. Oh and I don't use LTE on mine, never had, and it gets updates never the less
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
I tried checking for an update and it says my watch has the latest software.

Here's my story: I received the July update to R835USQU1ATF2. I had issues with the whole APN and sent to Samsung for repair (before knowing it was an APN issue). It came back with software R825USQU1ASI1. I'm assuming Samsung rolled back the software because they found issues with the ATF2 update.

So now when I check for updates on the wearable app it says it's current.

I'm going to wait it out and see if it's an AT&T issue that the newest software hasn't been pushed out to us yet.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] rmcomer:
I'm on AT&T and my update got pushed and installed on Sept 4th @ 1:54PM
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
I just tried checking again moments ago and it still says "Your software is up to date.".

Any idea how to get the software update pushed thru or should I keep waiting it out?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] kbboykin:
I have SM-825U (LTE) on Sprint(now t-Mobile). I am still on R825USQU1ATF2. How, where are others getting R825USQU1ATH1? It keeps telling me my software is up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] truckerdewd:
I have the T-Mobile version and get the same thing. I check it daily.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] skytale1:
Hello. I have unlocked GWA2 LTE (SM-R825U) and I live in Europe, and I'm not using any eSim provider. The software version on my watch is R825USQU1ASI1 from 2019. When I try to update the watch to new software via Galaxy Wearable app it says that the software is up to date. Is there any other way to update the software without mobile plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
So this just happened tonight on my LTE model Active 2 with AT&T... I couldn't sleep so I happened to be going thru my phone and I selected the watch software update to check... To my surprise it found an update and so I went for it and installed the update. Now I'm on R835USQU1BTH9

I downloaded the new Samsung Health Monitor app on my Note 8 so tomorrow I'll test out the ECG readings.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnNadeau:
Thanks for the heads-up [MENTION=712494]LuvrGirl[/MENTION] !

At first, my Unlocked SM-R25U only updated this morning to the July Update R825USQU1ATF2, Tizen 4.0.0.6. I was all ready to rant on Samsung...

But then, after that update, it skipped the Sept 2nd R825USQU1ATH1 update, and started downloading the latest update R825USQU1BTH9/R825UOYN1BTH9/R825USQU1BTH9 :cool:

The release notes haven't been updated at the link Samsung Provided https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R825U/XAR/doc.html

BUT they were included during the update download (see screenshots attached).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Tumbleweedtoo:
Thanks!

Thanks for the update on this or I would never have known!!! I will try it later today. Let us know how the Health Monitor works. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnNadeau:
Well, the firmware/software update went fine on our two watches... HOWEVER...

I can't get the Samsung Health App to update :( !!!!

The Samsung Health App version shown on our watches is 4.10.2800

Galaxy Apps indicates Version 4.12.1400 updated 9/24/20 is available.

It downloads, transfers to watch, then results in error: "Couldn't Install App. Installation Failed. Try later. (WO:WO:9003)".

Since the update is dated today, 9/24/20, I'll remain hopeful that it's a bug on their end and a fix will forthcoming soon :)

Please let me know if you were able to update Samsung Health!

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
Update: My watch updated fine and I have the Health Monitor app on the watch and my phone.

I just can't get the watch to do a reading... It says to have it fit snug and rest your finger on the top button. I do all that but it doesn't activate a reading. Any tips?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] JohnNadeau:
Samsung pulled Version 4.12.1400 of "Samsung Health" App (lots of 1-star ratings complaining that update failed :)

I missed the part about the "Samsung Health" MONITOR App, thanks [MENTION=712494]LuvrGirl[/MENTION] !

Found the icon for the Samsung Health Monitor App on the watch, tapped it, it guided me to download the app, etc.

I was able to take some readings. It throws up some tips:

Moisturize (not sure if they mean your wrist or your finger or both LOL)

Wear watch for 10 minutes before taking reading

As I understand it, it's taking an electrical reading from your one arm (on wrist), through your other arm back to the watch through your finger. Perhaps make sure that your "other" fingers/thumb are NOT touching your skin where the watch is located?

Edit: Also, I wore my watch on the underside of my wrist ( no hair :) )and it seemed to be more responsive)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] LuvrGirl:
I'll try this because I just can't seem to get any reading at all right now [emoji28]

Tell me what is the current firmware for this model? I have R825USQU1BTJ6 with Tizen 5.5.0.1

I have BTJ6 with Tizen 5.5.0.1

No software update for quite a while now... I'm beginning to wonder if they forgot about us Active2 owners LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] wasser79:
On many models, Tizen has already been updated to 5.5.0.2, but nothing for our model. I hope they will also remember the owners of the 825 version))

Does anyone have the latest 5.5.0.1 November update for our R825U?

I just updated today my watch to the new 5.5.0.2 firmware, and I am very unhappy that the seconds are not shown anymore in always on mode. Very very disappointed.

I am trying to find a way to downgrade, but so fare no luck...

@akiravjp , do you happen to have the firmware files stored?

I believe this R825USQU1BTJ6 is the latest November 5.5.0.1 update,

while version R825USQU1BTH9 is the previous September 5.5.0.1 one.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Have noticed while searching that a couple of people have got Blackberry Connect working with Etisalat in the UAE.

Can you tell me what version of BBC you used and how the heck you got it working, i have been struggling to do this now for 2 days and i KNOW it can be done.

Etisalat are of course being useless as they dont officially support it, thats when you find someone whos actually heard of it!

Help as I'm now really clueless about what else can be done
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nandakalyan:
I know all of us (at least most!) hate the huge notch and the screen estate it destroys for the status bar to show complete time/notification icons.

MIUI now has a way to enable dual status bar, where date/time/icons all show in two rows instead of 1 row overflowing into the notch more often than not. I was trying to figure a way out of this for folks running non-MIUI ROMs, since I also mostly use non-MIUI ROMs and stumbled across a rather simple method.

This may need some specific ROM commits (ask your developer), but sharing this with the hope this helps a few folks.

Also, this is not the most aesthetic but functionally this wins because it creates a new option in the least!! :laugh:

Step 1: Download this tool called SetEdit[url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22&hl=en_IN[/URL].

Step 2: Fire up the app (it didn't ask me for root access, so assume this doesn't need root)

Step 3: In the selections on top, make sure you select "This Device" and "System Table"

Step 4: Scroll all the way down to the the entry that reads "statusbar_dual_row"

Step 5: The value against it will likely show "0". Select it, it will open a dialog box, select "Edit Value"

Step 6: Change value to 1, Save changes

Reboot, profit.

It looks like this didn't work for some. As an alternative,

1. try Adding a new setting.

2. It'll ask you for setting name. Type "statusbar_dual_row" (without inverted commas)

3. Save changes

4. Enter "1" in the next option for Value

5. Save changes

Reboot. Hope that can add a setting and it works. Just found out by more tinkering

For an example of how this looks on my screen, refer screenshot below. I managed to gt the clock and 4 different icons in 2 rows on the left side. Probably not the best implementation of dual rows, seeing as it affects only one side, but I am staying with this rather than no clock and 3 icons :)

PS: I am using Corvus OS (unofficial, 7.0 dated Jul 5)

Bro he never mentioned Corvus in his entire post. Read it again there is not mention of it in his post.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] deathhated:
Yeah, he stated MIUI has a way to enable it and those steps. Read the P.S. at the bottom. Does it say he's running MIUI or Corvus?

Of course not, this is not signature it is a P.S... he is running on CORVUS...

and I'm running on MUI 11 and there is no such entry in the tab like "statusbar_dual_row"...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Archit9169:
Oh sorry about that. But that method works cause i am on miui 12 and that option is present there. Not sure about miui 11. And this method is exclusive to miui only and thus cannot be used on custom roms. This feature might be exclusive to china rom or maybe miui 12 exclusive, or maybe miui Eu exclusive.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nandakalyan:
hey guys, this works on MIUI for sure. For custom ROMS (like I am running Corvus), the developer needs to includes commits for the framework. I am not a technical guy, so if you let your developer know, they can cherry pick this commit or include the framework mod in the ROM, then you can enable it through the SetEdit tool :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nandakalyan:
Do check with your developer, are you getting the line for "statusbar_dual_row" in Set Edit? if not, the ROM does not have the code built in.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] deathhated:
Don't have the line in PE+, was just curious tho on custom ROMs if there is. Thanks btw
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nandakalyan:
Apparently MIUI 11 has this feature, I saw it all over google, not sure if it is build specific (EU, GLobal etc) though. I am able to set this in Corvus ROM, CrDroid, Bliss etc.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nandakalyan:
Yes definitely in the 3 ROMs I tried (Corvus, CrDroid, Bliss), that is why my guess that the ROM developer needs to probably include the feature commits for us to enable it with this method
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Themes, Apps, and Mods] amn1987:
