[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Armadevz:
if the BP is accurate enough it would be really useful for many people, it could be a big reason to buy it. The BMI stats too are very nice to have.

BTW, the way this is advertised, I think a lot of people will buy it and be disappointed with their non-samsung phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] mdy113:
Is there a link to an apk to download or easy way to load the health monitor app on a non samsung phone? i'm aware it will be an issue, i pre-ordered the watch anyway with hopes there may be a way coming or will a new apk come out after the watch releases since it has a new os?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fortinho:
Maybe yes.

Don't know if it's an easy way for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
BPM still isn't approved in the US. Makes me wonder about the actual accuracy. I never really tested, but I had an above average reading the day I calibrated and the watch seemed to be very consistent around that reading for the entire month. So I think it's kind of a gimmick, but could be different with the new sensors.

And, yes, you'll be able to use with other phones, eventually, with the great work of other developers here. It may not be easy for your average user. But I expect Samsung to try to lock people into their ecosystem and buy their phones. They only came back to WearOS because they couldn't get developers on their platform.

Don't expect the bioimpedance measures to be worth a damn. Bodyweight scales aren't very accurate, and you have two large points of contact probably with a higher current....It would be shocking if the watch was nearly as good as the scales (which, again, aren't considered very accurate).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jetstreamblue:
I had the Active 2 and got BP/ECG working on it in Canada even though it's not approved here (and doesn't look like it ever will). The BP seemed to work pretty well when I compared with my Omron, you have to calibrate it once a month anyway.

Anyway my Active 2 died so I have the Watch 4 on pre-order. Big for me will be the ability to use Google Assistant and Google Pay. The advanced sleep tracking should also be interesting, I have mild sleep apnea so it'll be a good test. I also fully expect that there will be a way to enable BP/ECG, after the devs have a chance to figure out the new Wear OS platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Might be time to upgrade to the 4 and sell my Active 2....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
Sammie is offering a credit to trade-in your own watch. GW3 credit is $185!

That seems like a pretty good deal, although mine is LTE version in mint condition. Decisions decisions decisions
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fortinho:
My Watch 4 should arrive on monday!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Master_Chief_87:
I wonder if I can install/use my beloved Tizen watch faces on the new Watch 4. Unfortunately I can't find any info on that. My hope is, that Samsung had found a solution to run Tizen watch faces on the new WearOS. :unsure:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] matteo040178:
Any clue on SpO2 on the watch 4?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jetstreamblue:
Apparently it correlates pretty well with DXA. Published paper here in case you're interested: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-79667-3#Abs1
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Just pre-ordered Galaxy Watch4, 44mm, Black, LTE!

Active 2 trade-in $150 credit.

Samsung $50 credit for free 20,000 mAh Battery pack...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] jetstreamblue:
Looks like the trade in value and promos are different for every country. In Canada they're offering nothing for the Active 2 except for a $100 trade in bonus, and we get the 2-in-1 wireless charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kamueone:
Here in Germany you get a 150 euro google pay gift card or something like that, with the watch 4 classic. İf you get the buds 2 you get a free wireless charging Pad.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Master_Chief_87:
In combination with several cash backs + discount coupon, I payed 225€ for the silver Watch 4 Classic LTE (46mm). :sneaky:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Amowagou:
Would it accept any eSIM and work independently to make and receive calls without paring with a smartphone/smart watch plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lamoglinsgal:
I used this yesterday to put SHM on my Pixel 5 and was able to push ECG to my Active 2 the "easy way" in a matter of minutes. BP didn't work, but Dante said it should if I push through the alternative way. I haven't tried yet as I don't have a device to calibrate anyhow. I'm hoping it's this easy to get ECG, SpO2 and BIA for us with the Watch 4. I was really hoping Samsung would have taken this collab with Google to expand to it's non-Samsung phone customers. You'd think they'd learn Android owners are too stubborn to be stuck in an ecosystem.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fortinho:
And it will be sent back to Samsung: it had no protective film, some fingerprints and a little scratch.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lupy:
Mine arrived today, no protective film but everything is ok and all the seals where intact

@Fortinho did you have all the seals unbroken?

@Master_Chief_87 You can install watch faces only from play store and it's the same for apps
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fortinho:
Mmh so they just didn't put a protective film on the screen? That's strange, there is one on the wireless charger.

Anyway the seals (the two outside the box) where unbroken.

I would keep the watch if it wasn't for that little scratch, I already know I would notice it every single time I'd check the wirst haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] malbry:
@lupy Since you have the watch, I'd be interested to know the process for ADB debugging over wifi in developer options. Does it use the Android 9 / WearOS 2 method of using (ip address):5555? Or does it use the Android 11 method of randomizing the port on each new connection to ADB on a computer?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] @home:
Can you install GPay & does it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lupy:
I'm in a country where we can't install Google pay from play store but we can use Google pay from phone settings - a very weird combination. But I can install Google pay from APK mirror and see my cards. Unfortunately no payment method is available on my watch even after reinstalling de gpay apk in my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] @home:
Thanks.

So GPay doesn't on the W4. Not a good start.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
How is charging on the GW4? I don't think they added fast charging (probably the biggest disappointment with this watch)....so does it also take like 2.5 hours to charge from 0 to 100%?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gavelis:
On 9to5google, Samsung confirmed, that GPay and Google Assistant BOTH definitely will come to GW4, but it will need some more time.

I would say as first ones with Wear OS 3, we´re kinda beta testers. But I like to play with the newest stuff. So, fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lupy:
with the charger from the box & original samsung charging brick estimation is ~1:45 from 9% and with the dual charger from samsung is 2:20
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Fortinho:
Ordered from the official Samsung online store, a lot of people already got it. Mine is scratched tho :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] @home:
So did I but I haven't got mine. Still says 27 August for mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] galaxys:
Mine also still states August 27th....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] MacGuy2006:
So, the BP and ECG are not available on non-Samsung phones?

Any way around it?

P.S. And if possible to get it on a regular non-Samsung Android, is it possible to set it to do continuous BP monitoring, say every hour while you sleep?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Kingcool88:
Anyone that have already recieved the watch that can confirm or deny that you need a Samsung phone to activate eSim on the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
I might wait and see. Fossil came out with a watch with SpO2 that charges to 80% in 30 minutes. And rumors of a Pixel/Fitbit watch that, if it materializes, I'm guessing could rival GW4.

I jumped on GW4 because of SpO2, and it was garbage and to my knowledge never integrated with sleep tracking in a useful way. I'm skeptical it's going to be accurate enough for sleep apnea as I've found the fingertip sensor I have isn't flawless, but much more consistent than the Wellue ring I tried...both are probably much more reliable than a wrist based sensor. But perhaps this new sensor on the GW4 could be more accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] SunoUno:
I pre-ordered my Watch4 Classic Silver BT on an on-line retailer here in Portugal on the 12th and received it today the 19th.... gorgeous looking, really disapointed if Samsung Heath Monitor isn´t available for non-Samsung phones. I'm running on Oneplus phone.

Does anyone knows if it will be availble any time soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
So I've just discovered that GW3 actually DOES track SpO2 while sleeping.

Going to test for a few weeks, and compare with my fingertip sensor, so I have a baseline to see if the GW4 is improved and reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cebs:
I pre-ordered mine at Meo today, the 46 mm :p let's see when mine arrives...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ramchalam:
Curious to know if every other health feature except ECG and BP works using your oneplus phone? Like the BIA, SpO2 etc works on non-samsung phones? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] TheIntruder:
Got mine yesterday morning here in the UK , happy so far ..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] gavelis:
I can confirm that SpO2, sleep tracking, body composition, etc. work with my Xiaomi Mi 11. Seems to be only ECG and BP where we need the Health Monitor.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] MacGuy2006:
Thanks for confirming. The problem is, a cheap band would track all of these, with much longer battery life.

I was thinking of replacing my Garmin with the SG4, but now I don't see the point of giving up battery life for nothing.

One other question, if there are any runners here: Past Samsung watches have been pretty bad at tracking heart rate and other parameters when under load. Supposedly the sensors are the same on the SG4, but with better algorithms. I'd be curious if someone can test the SG$ against a chest strap and see how it keeps up.

Mine came Friday (46mm classic) along with the wives flip 3,so they are sending early in some territories (UK).. Ordered direct with Samsung and traded GW3lte in.

Oh like normal, the Samsung straps suck, and you can't use Watch3 straps as it uses the narrower size straps on all GW4's
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] STRUZZIN:
Its cool some people are getting them early.

I pre-ordered from Amazon because I had gift cards.

Also does anyone know if I can activate that on Verizon?

Should be fine as long as they support esim, but hey who's to know, sure I've seen people with 3's on veri on though
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] EzMort:
I want to ask for help with the new SGW4, I haven't had a smartwatch yet and see if I already have experience and I'm very beginner: the watch runs Wear OS apps (in principle) or just specifically Wear OS 3 (you can see somewhere what apps are running somewhere is there a list or something on it)? - if so can i install any wear os app from google play? or just Wear OS 3 - unfortunately I don't see it and I got so many answers from Samsung customer service - that "yes it runs WOS but you have to ask that app manufacturer for that app ..." So, in terms of apps, does it work like a normal android watch (e.g. TicWatch), or is it some hybrid tech that can only be put on spec progs that are in the Samsung store? So far, everywhere I've seen the apps on the Samsung page only .. e.g. a Shazam goes on it? thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] stakoz:
really, how do you switch sp02 for sleeping on the GW3? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] PaulParanoia:
I currently have an old ASUS Zen Watch 3 and am thinking about getting the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm. Is there anyone on here who has seen both watches in person and can comment on how they compare in size. The Galaxy 4 specs show it to be about the same size as the old Asus watch but the G4 looks massive in some photos I've seen. I don't think my wrist could take a larger watch.

Someone on my Telegram group has done esim activation on non samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
Go to your sleep score/record in the Samsung Health app, and scroll down. You'll see a SpO2 metric, and some sort of message about not enabled. Click on it.

But mine hasn't given me a reading yet after several nights. It's always been temperamental for me, so I'm curious to see if it works for anyone else.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
Nice review. I'm concerned about the GPS accuracy, but I've actually found the GW3 to be pretty good on heart rate measuring (as have many reviewers) and GPS.

Anyway, I'm waiting on more real world reviews before I pull the trigger. And probably also to see what Apple and Fitbit launch, along with possibly the long awaited Pixel watch.

Not getting burned again on cutting edge features that either don't come or don't work as advertised.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kodiak799:
And the option is gone from the latest SHealth update. Never gave me a reading, so I assume they made a mistake and the option was only intended for GW4 (with no option for every 1 vs. every 60 seconds).

Hello,

I recently installed Bliss OS 11 and it works great. There are some issues.

Apps downloaded from play store have USA country apps, I live in India. For example - amazon app shows USA products and the price are in dollars. Sideloading the app worked, but doing this for all the apps becomes a hassle.

Auto-screen rotation does not work out of the box. I have sensor for screen rotation and it worked flawlessly in Ubuntu. Workaround is I have to manually change the orientation using built in app.

I cannot play some games because of the error "Restricted location", any way to solve this? That game is India country specific (battlegrounds mobile India - BGMI)

Is there any way to disable the boot screen where it shows bliss OS, bliss OS with debug and other options. I want it to jump directly into loading OS because I don't have keyboard (touchscreen device) and I have to wait until it automatically selects the option.

The screen brightness worked great in ubuntu. Now the screen always looks dim. its like there are only three levels - really low, low and medium.

Kindly do help me. Thanks in advance. (sorry for my bad English).

Hi guys,

one more question of me. Hope to get some help.

I´m desparate. I want to organize my data on my OP7T via PC so I connect it to it, but, if I want to open the pictures of snapchat, instagram, facebook etc, then it shows in Photos of Windows, that the file is damaged or can´t be read. But in the normal Camera folder, I can see the pictures.

SO I always have to copy it on my PC if I want to look to them. Thats pretty annoying.

Does anyone also have that kind of issue? Would be nice, if someone could test it on his own.

AND also this annoying messsage come several times, if I pull out the cable of the phone. (the pictures are attached.
[General Questions and Answers] adamijin:
I didn't know where else to put this, technically its not a phone but it runs off of Android. I'm looking for someone who can either give me a how to, or a write up on how I would go about modding the Screen that goes to a peloton Treadmill. I want to get rid of all the peloton stuff, as well as the new lock code that they have in place and be able to run my own apps at the same time the treadmill is running. I am technically inclined and have rooted devices and switched out firmware before. I used this guide (https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/wiki/index/howto/root) to do some stuff on the Treadmill screen that I wanted and it worked well for a while, until Peloton implemented a Lock code function on the Treadmill which now prevents it from running unless you pay 40 bucks a month to subscribe to their garbage monthly work out stuff. I cant get the Treadmill to run UNLESS I'm in their specific app which is a monthly fee wit the new code lock. What I'm looking for in this case is not a root, or workaround but something from the ground up, maybe an android mod that I can use to replace what's on their now as far as the firmware goes. Something that can run the treadmill show things like distance and time, and also allow me to watch whatever apps I want While ruining and jogging. I am well aware that doing something like this voids the warranty. Peloton actually made a really great product but they fouled it up with really crappy software. any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated.

I thought Peloton reverted the pay only lock. It should allow now just ride, shouldn't it?

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: Everything you need to know about Samsung’s latest compact foldable​

Samsung launched its second foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip, alongside the Galaxy S20 series in 2020. Unlike the original Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy Z Flip featured a clamshell design, with a tiny screen on the outside and a regular-sized foldable display within. The Galaxy Z Flip didn’t offer great hardware for its price, so it wasn’t as well-received as the Galaxy Fold. Therefore, Samsung updated it a few months down the line with a Snapdragon 865 Plus chip and 5G support. While the second-gen device offered better performance, it wasn’t a huge improvement over the original Galaxy Z Flip. So it wasn’t as exciting of an upgrade as the Galaxy Z Fold 2 was for the flagship foldable line. Samsung has now launched the third device in its Galaxy Z Flip lineup, and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 brings some major improvements to the table. Read more.

Samsung just announced the Galaxy Buds 2 alongside some of the most anticipated devices of 2021 — the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Watch 4 with Wear OS. The Galaxy Buds 2 isn’t necessarily an upgrade to the Galaxy Buds Pro that was launched earlier with the Galaxy S21 series.

Meh, unless I see stellar audio that exceed the Buds+ reviews for the new Buds, I'll probably get another pair of the Buds+ instead. They new ones right now appear to be a downgrade with less battery life. The noise reduction is so-so and just not needed or desirable.

Meh.

So far everything Samsung has released this year has been a dropped ball... a dud.

The Fold series has been a unfolding di$a$ter from the get go... designed to die.

No.

Lol, I have a Note 10+. Samsung's last great flagship release.

Cry me a river of tears when you realize my opinion was dead on straight shooter accurate🤣

Time will tell but I'm calling it now💋

Samsung excels at dropping the ball when they screw up.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] bigfire:
The Fold 2 is amazing. I won't have another non-folding phone. I took an S21 Ultra with me on a trip last month and while I appreciate the better cameras (hence taking it on a trip), I was relieved going back to my Fold 2. I'm sorry you haven't had a chance to enjoy these phones, but they're obviously the future.

With that said, I can't believe how Samsung phoned in the 3. I guess it's all about reducing cost, but it's not exactly like that came plummeting down. The only upgrade I see is the brighter screen, and the trade in values are pretty poor (and went down by 30% in the last two hours). Blargh.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Glad you like the Fold 2 🤗

One display is hard enough to protect and with a Note 10+, it's enough real estate for me. Going on 2 years my 10+ looks and runs like it's new.

It's the SD card that really makes it usable plus the spen. My take on it is K-I-S-S.

It's not just Samsung goof ups, Android has been in full fail mode since it started with its scope storage, clean up the phone crap.

Will Google follow Apple (again) and implement kiddy porn picture scanning dime-a-matic embedded firmware to their OS too?🤣

The incorporation of 5G and variable frequency displays adds more new technologies to go wrong... and it has been.

Add the chip shortage driven poor decisions and 2021 is a bust.
