[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
My motivations for opening this thread are written from the beginning in the first lines of the first post, and have not changed, although after a year and a half writing here, with considerably less illusion. The thread has over 160,000 views during this time, the thread has activity, but as a reader "behind the curtain", of course, no one is obliged to post anything not even me.

I have some knowledge of the watch, although they are imitated, but what I wanted with this post was to disclose what I knew to incite others to contribute, to learn from them and no, it was not so. It would be great, for example, that someone with programming knowledge in Wear OS post a guide or some videos to make a simple app for Wear OS, or without having this knowledge knows to link to a very interesting video or a website where they explain easy how to do it With the few apps that are in Play Store, with an original idea for an app even if it is simple, can be monetized and a lot (if someone wanted to profit, of course). Look in the play store how many Android apps there are to play podcasts and how many for Wear OS.

I have a lot of left to write about, and I will keep writing and when all I know about this topic is finished, the post will sink in the forum. At least in time, if someone searches google for information on some topic I have written about, it will be easy for them to find it and I assume it will be useful to them, probably why I keep it up.

Before posting here I post in other places before, and in those places I get some feedback of what I write, here rarely happens that, the truth is that I get quite wrong what I write and often there are missing data in the information, thanks to that feedback the posts are corrected and become better, and that is why it seems to be so well written for some user.
[Wear OS General] jmoportugal:
I am one of those who reads but in fact I rarely speak I like to read and see what I can do, but I don't put much into practice considering my use.

I understand your frustration, I will try if I use any of the tips to give feedback in the future.

What is the downside if you use Galaxy Watch 4/5 paired with a phone that is NOT Samsung?

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4/5 does not offer the same experience with non-Samsung phones as it does when connected to a Samsung Galaxy device, and some of the functions are Samsung phone exclusive features that you don't get when connected to a non-Samsung device. They are as follows:

Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring.

Blood pressure (BP) monitoring

Samsung Messages App

Camera controls

"Do not disturb" mode synchronization

"Bedtime" mode

Make/receive calls when you're not connected to a phone via Bluetooth (using Wi-Fi)

Customizable AR Emoji Watch faces

In addition to restrictions by the phone you have paired, there are also restrictions by the region you are in. In this case, ECG and blood pressure monitoring is only officially available in the following countries: Austria, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

For example, in the case of the USA, it is not available due to FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval problems.

As for the watch's camera control (Viewfinder function), not even all Samsung phones are supported. According to the specifications of Camera Controller app, only the following Samsung phone models are supported:

S Series (S22, S22+, S22 ULTRA, S21, S21+, S21 ULTRA, S21 FE, S20, S20+, S20 ULTRA, S20 FE, S10, S10+, S10e, S10 Lite, S9, S9+)

Note Series (Note20, Note20 Ultra, Note10, Note10+, Note10 Lite, Note9)

Z Series (Z Fold, Z Fold2, Z Fold3, Z Flip, Z Flip3)

​

Fortunately, you can use a couple of third-party apps and modifications to get some of Samsung's unique features on the Galaxy Watch 4/5

To enable ECG and blood pressure monitoring, and be able to sync with Samsung Health, you can use a modified version of Samsung Health Monitor app. This version also removes country and device restrictions and reduces the age limit to 16. More info here.

To receive SMS messages, you can alternatively use Google Messages app.

To access the phone's camera controls on the watch, you can alternatively use Camera One or Wrist Camera app. More info here. You will be able to preview the viewfinder on your watch screen, take photos away from the phone, capture videos and even record audio.

To synchronize "Do not disturb" mode and "Bedtime" mode, you can alternatively use DNDSync app. You must install the app on the watch and also on the phone.

The other functions, above outlined as make/receive calls when you're not connected to a phone via Bluetooth or customizable AR Emoji Watch faces, unfortunately there are currently no alternatives that I know of.

This update is a pita, in my opinion!

I have to scroll down over a long list of (for me) useless apps or information to come to the "Manage my apps" button. This belongs on the top of the list and not on the end...
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Yes, I'm also of the opinion that "manage my apps" should be at the top, it sounds like the perfume and tobacco sales aisle before you get to the gate of your flight.

[Wear OS General] jmoportugal:
The more I see the watch, the less I want to have it.

Aesthetically I don't like it
[Wear OS General] old.splatterhand:
Me too! It doesn't look like i want a watch to look. And certainly not for this price.
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Yes, I don't like that domed dial, I don't doubt that the crystal is hard, but I have the impression that it will be less protected. I'm more interested in what it brings in terms of software, which I guess will be inherited in a few weeks to TWP3, Fossil 6, etc.

In addition to the crazy price of the watch, of course, however the Galaxy Watch 5 after 1 month of its launch there are already stores that are lowering the price, so I do not think Pixel Watch stagnates at that price and in a few weeks will be lowered somewhat that price.

Woot is already offering 'clearance' deals on the Galaxy Watch 5

[Wear OS General] old.splatterhand:
Yes, biggest hope is, that they launch some useful software for Wear OS alongside the watch itself, that we can all profit from.

Fitbit everywhere, what is going to happen with Google fit....
[Wear OS General] sim35:
Hello everyone,

First off, thanks @bernarbernuli for sharing your knowledge, as a new user of the ticwatch pro 3, I did use a few tips from you.

I had problems receiving image attached to telegram or signal, it works quite irregularly and decided to dig a bit.

I have seen a fix using an alternative telegram client on phone and depreciated telegram wear os app but I wanted signal to works too so I didn't go that route (also prefer having as less wear os app as possible to save battery).

After a few tries, I think I've got a fixed but if someone from the community could also test it to confirm it is working would be great.

To do so:

Go to developers settings on your phone and scroll down to Bluetooth MAP version and switch to 1.4 (mine was set to 1.2).

Turn Off then On Bluetooth on your phone and reboot your watch.

(MAP=Message Access Protocol)

It has been working reliably for a few days now so hoping that will be a permanent fix (fingers crossed)

Side note: if your phone reboot, MAP version will come back to default and you will need to switch version again.

Will it be possible to officially use WA (in the future) without these tricks?
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Who knows what the future holds and the interest of larges and small developers in launching versions for Wear OS returns, however, from here I ask any developer reading this, to improve the "bridge" app that I posted in the post, I think it should not be very difficult for a developer.

Basically, it would be to launch an app that skips the step of speaking by voice to transcribe to text, instead, that when running the "bridge" app enters WhatsApp directly (that is, that "behind" the "bridge" app shares to WhatsApp a text that may well be a dot or something short, and enters the list of contacts in WhatsApp "Send to").

That is, just by opening the bridge app WhatsApp is already running, that would be a quick and easy shortcut.

Well let's hope it goes well otherwise it will suck for the WearOS image lol

[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Yes, no information from mobvoi, the development gives me that they have it somewhat delayed, maybe it has something to do with having to develop a companion app on the phone for Wear OS 3.
[Wear OS General] Lucas0511:
Thanks @bernarbernuli, works as posted, Looked at the other apps the same dev is offering on playstore, his 40 cents paid app Wassap Open is even better, allows not just the features you mention from his other app, but shows all recent contacts with message exchanges, and allows to open literally everything on the watch.
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
Yes, I know it, I did not want to advertise a paid app, plus I do not agree with that self-promotional message of the developer that has the app to start WhatsApp.

A nuance about what you say about this app, the two apps go to the same screen, "send to", only changes the number of steps to get to it, since it already comes with a message of self-promotion, I would recommend that he change it to a dot or similar.
[Wear OS General] Lucas0511:
Thanks, dev writes waiting for Playstore to update version without the signature.

This is my first Wear OS smart watch, so I have to learn this new ecosystem. Before that, I had an Amazfit Verge, which I liked very much. And to be honest, there are a few things that I had on the Verge and I don't on the TWP 3...

The most annoying thing for me that the vibration force cannot be lowered here. It is very loud, I can hear the vibration rather than feel it. :/ Is there any way to edit the vibration level/ intensity on the watch? (I know the pattern setting, that is not helping.)

hi, my watch with the last google updates starts to use for fast answers the english words (okey,no, yeah) is it a way to return to my language?
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
I update guide to install WhatsApp on the phone, replacing the "bridge" app with an app that runs WhatsApp in one step. The app is completely free.

When you start a conversation, it starts with an emoji of a clock, which I find very appropriate to differentiate when you write messages by the watch, of course you can delete it, and you get the icon to send voice messages (more comfortable to send messages from the clock, of course).

No errors, it just can't be paired after doing all the procedure on the fossil smartwatch app. Previously it had to be paired using the WearOS app, and that procedure worked fine, but after WearOS 3 update it needs to be paired with the Fossil Smartwatch app, which does not seem to find the smartwatch after doing all the commands ( I also tried removing the fossil app data but it didn't work)
[Wear OS General] bernarbernuli:
In Wear OS 2 the pairing data is effectively stored in Google Play services. (com.google.android.gms), but in Wear OS 3 I don't know where they are saved when using another companion app.

It might be useful for you to run this command, it consists of listing all the system apps on your watch (it does not show personal data) and post the list here. It might give a hint which app/package to delete the pairing data.

adb shell pm list packages -s | sort
