Nope, neither are supported in my country & to be honest, I'm use wireless credit card, I don't have to be afraid of any software issues except empty balance account lol

EDIT: I just realized the question wasn't for me 😅, late at night and I was tired, didn't pay attention, oops...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] acwcanada:
Yes, I am in Canada and using it all the time (now it called Wallet instead), I never have any problem either with the phone or the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] trsp83:
i live in Europe (Greece) and G.Wallet works 100% right on my phone (Pixel 6) or any other android but on Galaxy watch4 i observe:

When i download Google Wallet it has two apps :) the Wallet plus the old G Pay.

Then from time to time the 2 press button funcion just changes to its default (showing last app VS open Wallet)

But the worst is that it only works 60-70% when shopping.

So in order to avoid people murmur back of me i just use the phone :( which makes me sad

Hi all, i got Linageos 20 (A12) on my Samsung S7

Thinking of buying a refurbed GW4C, the modded SHM works, at least i could log in and run it but i dunno what features work.

Does the Plugin for W4 work? The site says:

Galaxy Watch4 Plugin​

☆☆☆ Not working

This xda post seems to have some information about getting the Watch4 working.

(link goes to here)

Can you use all features on the watch while runing a custom rom? (except Google Pay, that isn't important to me)

I don't wanna pay ~150€ and get a device that doesn't work with my phone...

In worst case i could go back to stock on the phone. But i'we read that knox gets triggered and can't be reset even with stock rom so dunno if that solves anything. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
Youre worried about Knox on an ancient S7?

Hate to tell you the warranty is up, chief :)

The only things you would lose (via knox trigger) if you root/run custom ROM are Samsung Pay/Samsung Pass.

The trickiest app to keep working on a rooted Samsung is Samsung Health, not to be confused with Samsung Health Monitor, but theres *possible* workarounds...personally i got tired of the Samsung nonsense of trying to keep finding workarounds to keep Samsung Health working and went back to using a Pixel (6 Pro) with my Watch 4 and have 95% less drama with Samsung Health....

There is always Google Fit as an alternative if Samsung Health does bork...

Google Pay will (usually) work fine with Magisk and the Universal SafetyNet Fix module

Samsung Health Monitor will usually work 100% as its restrictions have been removed thanks to @Dante63

If you want a 100% working Watch, stay stock (even if you need to use @Dante63's Samsung Health Monitor mod because of location restrictions). Once you go custom all bets are off. I do not recommend custom ROMS and Watch 4 for someone who isnt up for possibly having to find and try new workarounds every x months, and face the possibility of Samsung Health not working (Gogole Fit as backup)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AkoreJepade:
It finally updated today on my A52. Still can't get Camera Controller App to sideload ... It's like it thinks I'm trying to install an older version which is downgrading.. I tryed debloating the Camera Controller App and it shows successful uninstall but when I check the list of installed apps on the watch it is still listed so I think that's why it won't let me install?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
You can't completely uninstall system app, you can only uninstall it for current active user...

To fully uninstall it, you'll need to root your watch (not recommended)...

There is a camera app on the watch & probably newer than what you have but it's disabled OS level, & if you enable it, it will disable on its own again...

One of the tasks on my todo list is building a camera app, but I haven't reached it yet, I'm working on the DND sync...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AkoreJepade:
Yeah, I spent an hour on chat with Samsung support and they didn't even know that the Camera Controller App doesn't work with THEIR own mid-range phones! I gave him make, model, serial numbers and IMIE of the phone and he couldn't figure out why it was not working and suggested I take it to a service center (not one of those here in Jardin Colombia I can tell you). So a complete waste of time. Looking forward to your future work Dante!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dallebull:
73sydney Ty for the reply.

Honestly i don't know the difference. :S

I don't belive in warranties. So i don't give a f* about my ancient S7, it's allready Frankensteined from two broken phones. 🤣

But i want the sleep tracking/bp/hr and stuff to actually work as intended.

The health monitors are more important than any phone- or smart functions.

If the watch works with Google Fitness that's allright, but i assumed the health monitors only worked on a Samsung device with Samsung software. If i only loose Samsung Pay/Pass i can live with that.

Been thinkering with roms and workarounds since ~2010, usually only a few times per phone but i hate bloated stock roms. 😅

A Fitbit would probably be better for my needs but i want a stylish watch and not a square arm computer. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] qu38mm:
Ironic Samsungs phone would have the most nonsense with samsungs watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AkoreJepade:
Do you think a "Protect battery" option would be good for the GW? My A52 has this option that I use every night as I only use about 50% of the battery of my phone each day and the same goes for my GW5 44mm so I thought it would be nice if I could set it to the same to perhaps extend the life of the battery in the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Watch doesn't have such option
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AkoreJepade:
But with your magical talents could it be added? :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
That would require root (to set the charge limits)....we dont have that and its probably a good thing....so much brickage could happen on a Watch with root access
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AkoreJepade:
I doubt asking over on the Samsung forums will get Samsung attention as they probably want everyone to upgrade every year anyway. 🤑 I do hope that they get the poor SP02 readings sorted out in a future firmware update!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] minerprosk:
hello, im trying to pair my SM-R925F(Europe WATCH 5 PRO LTE) with my new phone sm-S9080 (chinese s22 ultra) and allways when i try pair them im prompted to use samsung wear but then i get error that watches are not supported on my phone. i already tried pair with samsung health or the modded app but no luck and also everthing from guide with the mod app and still nothing. not sure what im doing wrong. can you please help me
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] badabing2003:
You can achieve that without root if you use Home Assistant, enable battery sensors, and have your power adapter connected to a smart plugged outlet.

You create an automation in HA, that powers off the smart plug when the battery level reaches 85% or whatever you prefer and even turns it back on when it drops below certain threshold.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
You need to pair via Galaxy Wear app first, thats where pairing is done. You will not pair via the other apps.

Are you using a rooted phone?

Please share the error you recieve.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] minerprosk:
yes i was trying to pair it with official app but i cant because china restriction, and no the phone has official software without root
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] 73sydney:
yeah ive never seen that before, there are some suggestions on this page that might be worth a look

i think theres not such option on the about section. It appears only when i download an apk and then when i allow it let me install it.

Am i right?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] trsp83:
i really like this watch! Basically i have the 44mm version and its perfect. But now i will gift it and i wonder if a smaller version would be nicer? I always had Big Watches but now i really changed my mind and never go back to a 46 etc. I want try an other watch but i afraid to purchase a 40mmm because maybe i will look like...."soft man"?😂 You know more feminine? I have a 18-18,5 wrist size.

I want to try the Pixel watch too! its just 41mm and i thinkk i will like it more. But serius now. except the usability and comfortable feel , isnt very small?

Sorry i ask such ....questions but i buy through internet and not always have the ability to try it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Bobbyshaw:
I am on Anexplorer file manager on the watch and i have the apk on my download folder.

When i click it says i need to enable install from unknown sources.

Then I search everywhere to enable it but cant find it on the phone or the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] trsp83:
ah ok! sorry then. You mean that when you give command through the pc the app doesnt download?

Trying to set thing up while my GW4 is beeing shipped.

Using an Galaxy S7 with LinageOS 20 (A12) 0x0 Knox (Wtf....?)

All apps starts on the phone:

Samsung Health (Like Google Fit, step counter and stuff)

Samsung Health Monitor (No Compatible watch found, No connection to Samsung Health)

Galaxy Wearable (To change Watch faces etc)

SHM Mod Companion (To update itself and SHM WEAROS MOD)

Is there is a problem that SHM doesn't have an Connection to SH? I get an popup notification in Swedish in the bottom when i try to activate it.

Or do i need a watch to be able to connect the apps?

Do you need some custom apps on the Watch (Edit: phone) to make it work? Seems like most stuff works on the phone at least.

Since i have nothing to do but wait i might as well get things setup so i don't have to worry when the watch gets here and nothing works 😅

Edit:

Seems like i need to install Watch.SHM.Mod via fastboot on the watch as well?

How to enable ECG and Blood Pressure features on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Get the ECG and blood pressure monitoring working on your Galaxy Watch 4 in all regions, even with non-Samsung phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] trsp83:
:) wow lineage os?

hmhmh anyway, the app health monitor was all ready on your phone? I think you havbe to update both versions and i (think so0 that there are some bugs to SHM last 1-2months
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I don't think so because protecting battery is a service in the system, i can't create a system level service, this will require rooted watch...

If I recall correctly, you're missing GMS (Google services), and if I'm not wrong, the workaround on Chinese forums was installing WearOS By Google app (just install, don't use it) and try connecting through Samsung Health...

Go to a shop try them all on, and follow your preferences, ignore what people think, it's all about your comfort, not theirs...

The watch doesn't have such option, the installation is done through adb, you can use shm mod companion (drive) or install geminiman WearOS manager (playstore) and sideload the apk...

SHM no connection to SH...?

Please share a screenshot of what you mean, I am assuming you're using stock shm and want to connect it to the watch stock shm as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] trsp83:
thats it! Thank you!

i will tell them to try it first or i will go to an open and try them all and then choose one

But 350 for poixel watch feels expensive to me. And 350 if i wait some months...otherwise here the price srarts from 400..

The truth is i got mad with my g4 because nfc doesnt wotk some times! if it was reliable (and the EKG stable) i would keep it till next gen pixel watch .

The desighn and feauteres are perfect for me! (i downloaded pixel watchfaces too :) )
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] AkoreJepade:
Only thing that kept me from the smaller version is they put a smaller battery in it. If it had the same battery as the 44mm which I now am wearing I would have went with the smaller version as I like a smaller watch on my wrist for sleep tracking at night. I just switched from a Fitbit Charge 4 to this GW5 44mm BT with D-Buckle and the only reason I have the GW5 is I bid on a new one on eBay and won it for $100 less than what it cost today on sale on Samsungs website. So far, I like it a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] minerprosk:
i tried it and still am getting this watch isnt supported on this phone. i even tried change csc code(no luck i guess because chinese phones dont have it) or recompile waerable apk. do you have something else that could help me
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Go to coolapk, Chinese forum, they have discussed it there, if you can read Chinese, then you shouldn't face problems navigating there that is...

Google services are required, I don't fully remember what they did, I had a group chat on WeChat and my account got banned for no reason (my guess is the name XDA-Dante, Dada is a forbidden word, I struggled a lot to set a name for my account)...

If you can't, try searching about connecting watch4 to Chinese phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ppaolini49:
Good evening, today I've downloaded and installed in my phone the Phone.WearOs.SHM.MOD.1.1.1.221.dante63.apk but when I open the app I receive this message:"No compatible watchs found". Let me say my watch is correctly paired in Galaxy wearable app. I tried to restart my phone and watch but the final result is always the same
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] acwcanada:
You are missing part of the story! Beside install that one to your phone, you need to install his other watch app to your watch. In this case which is the file named "watch.shm.mod.1010221.dante63.apk", you should be able to find it somewhere in his drive.

P.S. The watch app can only be sideloaded, if you don't know how to do it, install Dante's other app named "GemiMan WearOS Manager" from Play Store which give much easier way to do it. After install the watch SHM app, you will find that you have 2 SHM apps in your watch, their icons have a little bit of difference, don't mixed it up. Also, I would also suggest to install Dante's other app "SHM Mode Companion" to both your phone and watch, these would help you know if your apps have the latest version and help you pair your phone and watch to sync BP/ECG.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ppaolini49:
The part on my Galaxy watch 5 is already done. I installed Watch.SHM.MOD.1.1.0.221.dante63.apk successfully but when I open the app on watch (that one with M logo, a little bit different of original one) there is the message "Download the app on your phone". Instead if I open the SHM modded in my phone I receive the message "No compatible watchs found"
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] acwcanada:
Did you reboot your watch? If not, try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] acwcanada:
Sorry, you did mention that you have done it. Perhaps, give details such as what phone and what OS, Dante may have more ideas to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ppaolini49:
I've restarted my watch again and after 4-5 minutes in the SMH modded app in the phone appeared the message "Calibrate your watch" and so definitely it sees my watch 🎉. I've tried ECG and it works fine. Thanks a lot for your support 🤗
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] acwcanada:
Great, so it works now! You have to calibrate the watch to use BP and that's that message for.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Locoman_:
This works great! Thank you very much, Dante63.

Hello, :)

I tried to pair my watch Samsung 5 and phone Samsung 21 Android 12, but it looks like it can't be connect. I really need a help to fix the problem and a clear instructions, again to download and set up because somewhere I'm making mistake. Is it possible Samsung Health and Wear OS to be additional problems about this? I download this applications too, and they are updated. Thanks in advance,
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cortesca:
Hello @Dante63 ,

Many thanks to allow to use BP and ECG on non Samsung devices.

I have an issue with my Honor phone and the watch 5.

I'm able to do all the setup and make it work on the watch by following your instructions.

However, if for some reason I switch off the watch, when I switch on again I have to do a reset on the watch as it is impossible to pair the watch again with the phone.

the wear application gives the incompatibilty error and using the health app it start pairing but after around 80%-85% it stucks.

I have tried to follow the steps on the thread without any luck.

That is only happening when the mod app is installed on the watch. Before that I can switch off the watch without any issue.

Usually is always on, but if for some reason I run out of battery is painfull to do the reset, install the apps again...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Is your phone rooted?

Mod has no role in connection loss...

You can uninstall the mod and use the watch for few days (on & off) to ensure everything is fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] PopovaE:
Thanks for a quick response. Yes, I restarted my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I'm uncertain of your answer...

Is your phone rooted...? (Regardless if you restarted or not)...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cortesca:
I'm since 5th with the watch without the mod app (After resetting the watch). So far no issue after several switch off and switch on. I will try later this week to install again the mod.

thanks for the quick answer
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
There was a case before, similar to yours, not sure what to search for on XDA and it will be hard to search and find...

I may be wrong but it was an issue with the phone, it was rooted and all Bluetooth connections are lost after very phone reboot, perhaps try rebooting your phone...

Check Bluetooth connection of every device you have, not just the watch...

I'll be here if you need help again...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lil_kujo:
@Dante63 I wanted to thank you for the support of these device and making the app compatible for other devices besides Samsung. Recently I suffered heart issues and ended up in the emergency room. I was able to know that I was having an acute heart issues ( not heart attack) only because of your mod that I have installed and the Galaxy watch 4 I own. Truly it's what made me go to the hospital as I have high blood pressure and the for me keeping track of my blood pressure is very important . I was feeling some chest pain last night and decide to use the ECG future on the watch. I regularly check both my blood pressure and the EcG to see if things are going normal and the result are usually very consistent for the ECG normally sinus rhythm and for my BP the normal range. I keep the watch well calibrated all the time since o have a manual and an electronic BP cuff at home. Last night during the episode I was having the watch started to gave a result of artrial fibrillation and inconsistent reading for which I said ok it not normal check my BP and was high compared with the other BP and effectively it was very high. Ended up in the emergency room and the doctors where able to help me out all thanks to the fact that o was able to use my device a point of reference. The doctor told me that it was a smart thing to do since the result at the hospital with the BP and the ECG where consistent with their findings. I know the device is not medical graded but give a good point of reference and the fact that you have a mod for to be use with other phones ( I have a P7p) is what perhaps saved my life. I had never experienced heart issues in my life as o only have BP issues which I keep in check with my medicine and was the reason I got the watch in the first place. Thank you for the mod in my opinion it saved my life. May the universe bless you for what you do . Again thank you so much for this. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I'm truly glad you're ok and glad you had the app and used it at the time of need... I wish you well recovery and better health... prayers for you to never encounter such life threatening cases and to live healthy happy life... take care of yourself...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] cortesca:
Yesterday I did the installation again, so far no issues after several reboots on both watch and phone. I cross fingers.

The only difference with last time is this time I disabled also the bluetooth on the watch and now I have installed.

- Galaxy Wereable (Samsung Gear)

- Galaxy watch5 Plugging

- Galaxy Watch Plugging (Don't know what this app does, but I installed also) :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ubimo:
I've installed this mod a dozen times on my phone, but this time I get the message "No compatible watch found". I've installed the modded phone app and the modded watch app via adb, but my phone won't recognise the watch.

I've already read the posts above (some user had the same problem) but I could not solve it.

I have an S20FE 5G. The only difference now is, I'm on stock Android 13 (with magisk, slightly debloated).

As I said, I've installed this mod surely a dozen times before, when I was on Android 12, it worked very good.

I also installed the companion app on my phone and watch.

I see pulse and steps etc. in the samsung health app, but the health monitor won't recognise the watch4.

Any suggestions please?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I'm going to assume you missed the note in main post at the very beginning about "Note to Samsung Root Users" with encryption enabled will not work... Most of the cases you've seen had encryption enabled and most have flashed the encryption disabler and thenused the magisk module to use Samsung Health...

Is your device still encrypted?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Ubimo:
Thanks for the reply. No, my phone is not encrypted anymore.

I use Samsung health security props 1.8.8 magisk module, so that Samsung health is working.

Any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Check logcat, if it says ERR_INTEGRITY, that's device encryption problem...

If it doesn't, share the logs and I'll try to trace, but do attach a video so I can trace the logs with the video timing... after all, logs are overwhelming if I would go through all of the lines if the problem is located at specific point which narrows down my trace from thousands to few hundreds...
