[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] TheMystic:
I use a Galaxy Watch 4 (44 mm). It is 100% stock and I have 317 watchfaces installed (as per Google Play Store) on it as of the time of writing. I have also installed about 30 apps, in addition to what comes from factory.

If I don't use the watch, I get a standby time of 3 days.

If I wear it all day, battery will last well over a day (I don't use any voice assistant).

I would like to know how much all the 'debloating' helped in terms of battery life.

As with sleep tracking, what can I say. There are absurd things people use a smartwatch for. This is one such thing. The others being for reminding them to drink water, going to the toilet, etc. It can't get more absurd than this.

If you FEEL fresh and good in the morning, it means you have slept well. If not, it means the opposite. The numbers on your gadget mean nothing, even if they are 100% accurate in what they measure. Learn to pay attention to how you FEEL, i.e. learn to read what your BODY tells you, not your gadget. There is no substitute/ replacement for the signals that your body gives you. It is completely upon us to be able to read them properly, and this comes by PAYING ATTENTION.

Here are some examples where people are able to, through the watch, disable specific aspects of the Health app successfully.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/comments/19bzs72/_/kivwe27

It seems like some versions of the watch allows for the change, but GW6 and maybe other newer GWs have the options grayed out. If there is an ADB command that allows for the settings to be changed in Developer > App Notifications, it should work.

To clarify, I am not looking to disable all of Health, just specific notifications that are shown under Developer Options.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
I will look into it...

But again, it has nothing to do with the menu inside developer options, the list inside is identical to individual app permissions, and permissions notifications...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] snovvman:
Thank you. I see what you're saying. Looking forward to your results!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] V@no:
Sounds like you didn't need a smart watch to begin with if you turn everything off...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bikereep:
Hi can someone help. I've followed instructions as per Seanie280672's original post. I do the following:

Turn bluetooth off on phone, turn wifi on on GW6.

Connect GW6 wifi to the same as my laptop

On Watch:

I've already unlocked developer mode on watch. So I go to Settings - Developer Mode - Wireless Debugging (and I turn this option on)

On laptop:

adb pair 192.168.AAA.B:CCCCC DDDDDD (details taken from watch)

watch connects and then I do

adb connect 192.168.AAA.B:EEEEE (to the new port showing on watch)

I get "Connected" on watch.

When I type for example "adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.reminder" on laptop, I get "more than one device/emulator" and the item doesn't get disabled.

I tried a number of workarounds. When I type "adb devices" on the laptop, I get:

192.168.AAA.B:EEEEE device

192.168.AAA.B:CCCCC offline

So I tried

adb -s 192.168.AAA.B:EEEEE shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.app.reminder

This doesn't throw up any errors and seems to have worked. However, when I look on the watch, even after a restart, the app is still there. Any ideas? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Seanie280672:
Try and revoke all users on the watch, and adb kill-server on your laptop then try again, there shouldnt be 2 devices connected.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] TheMystic:
Isn't there just one user on the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Seanie280672:
In the wireless debugging menu on the watch there is an option to revoke all connections or connected users or al adb connections or something like that, I dont have my watch to hand to check exactly what it says, but its something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] TheMystic:
Yes, there is an option to revoke all (previously allowed) authorizations. But the error above is talking about more than one device/ emulator. I'm not sure if these two are connected since the laptop has paired with the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bikereep:
Hi Seanie280672

That worked perfectly thanks. Just for info if anyone else is experiencing this issue, I did the following:

Laptop: adb kill-server

Watch: revoke all adb permissions

laptop: as per Seanie280672's original email: adb pair....., adb connect ....

One thing I found was that I had to paste commands one at a time, for example I had to enter:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.samsung.android.bixby.agent

Then wait for the state change, then paste the next command. When I've done this for a phone I've always dumped the list of commands from Excel and its completed all of them one after.

Also, I went down the route of disabling rather than uninstalling so I could sell the watch at some point in the future as a complete unit. If I uninstall, will wiping the watch and setting up as a new user re-instate any uninstalled apps? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Seanie280672:
After you've connected the watch to you PC/Laptop, just type ADB shell then press enter

now enter each command one at a time, theres no need to keep putting adb shell in front of every command.

Theres and easy list to copy and paste of what I removed from my watch in my OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] denics:
Thanks @Seanie280672 I have a SGW6 Classic LTE and I have removed all software as for your instructions. Fantastic! I am very curious now to see how long the battery will last. I have a question, is it possible to enable the GStore without a phone with google account? As the watch did not start without being paired to a phone, I used an old Nokia 6.1 running lineage with microG. I registered and now I connect some now and then, but I would like to see if there are other interesting applications around. My dream would be one day to install asteroidos or pair it with gadgetbridge :D
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] DevanteWeary:
Guys, I wanna say that I did all this debloating and I swear it made my battery WORSE. Wouldn't last more than a day with this.

I'm thinking that if you disable all this stuff, the watch constantly is searching for them or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bikereep:
Hi DevanteWeary

I had a similar issue. I started off disabling rather than uninstalling as I'm not that brave! I'm away from my laptop but will post a more detailed reply.

I wanted to keep the Samsung health stuff, but remove other bits. The first tranch of disabled apps did seem to make a small difference to battery life, but because I have heart rate on constantly and checking stress constantly, it was never going to massively change battery life.

I then disabled more apps, and I found phone battery massively reduce as well as watch battery. Disabling Bluetooth on the watch would return phone battery back to normal, but as soon as the two connected, phone battery would dive. I did a factory reset and this time was a bit braver and uninstalled rather than disabled the first tranch of apps and watch battery life is marginally better and phone battery is unaffected. I'll post more details tomorrow or Monday when I can get in front of a laptop again.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bikereep:
Hi DevanteWeary

A more detailed follow-up in my last post. Like you, when I disabled many of the items listed in this thread, watch AND phone battery life seemed to suffer quite a lot. Disconnecting watch from phone would fix phone battery drain indicating it was the watch causing (I did other testing like clearing Wear app cache, restarting phone etc). As I hadn’t uninstalled apps, just disabled, I tried to re-enable everything I had disabled in the hope the watch would return to normal – it did not, despite multiple restarts / cache wipes etc.

Disabling one or more of the following caused the excessive battery drain for me as I disabled them together as a bunch and that’s when I got the much higher battery drain on watch / phone. I haven’t had time yet to figure which one was the culprit as I was eventually going to disable one at a time:

com.samsung.android.app.contacts

com.samsung.android.scloud

com.samsung.SMT

com.samsung.android.watch.worldclock

com.samsung.android.watch.cameracontroller

com.google.android.apps.wearable.retailattractloop

com.samsung.android.messaging

com.samsung.android.video.wearable

As mentioned before, I kept some of the Samsung stuff like health apps, compass etc.

I did a total reset / wipe of my watch and I found the following could be disabled or uninstalled without negatively impacting battery life:

Disabled:

com.samsung.android.bixby.agent

Uninstalled:

com.samsung.android.calendar

com.samsung.sree.spin

com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear

com.samsung.sree.digital

com.samsung.android.watch.findmywatch

com.samsung.android.gallery.watch

com.samsung.sree.countdown

com.samsung.android.app.reminder

com.google.android.marvin.talkback

com.samsung.android.wear.musictransfer

com.samsung.sree.classic

com.android.providers.userdictionary

Hope that helps – anyone else have similar experience when trying to keep some of the Samsung apps installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Petikeje:
Hi, after uninstalling several application on my sgw6 with a discussed method, when I start Google Play Store and try to search an app, the Store close itself. Gboard is installed and configured as a default keyboard.

Could you please help me what package should miss, or worst case if I factory reset the whatch do I get back to a real factory state?

Sry in the meantime I found the answer, but can't reset the watch... Need advice.

THX:

P!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Logcat will tell you why playstore crashed and you can reinstall and restore the missing app...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Aethera:
FWIW I don't think it's necessary to disable Wifi Debugging. Just disable ADB Debugging. I think if you don't disable Wifi Debugging it will keep the pairing connection intact.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] ramnamemail:
What to do if I want to install back findmyphone after uninstalling as above? :(

Edit:

Got it. If anyone is looking for an answer to this, use;

cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.watch.findmyphone

it will return;

Package com.samsung.android.watch.findmyphone installed for user: 0
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] luuphong559:
I recommend disable rather than uninstall; because you can't actually use adb to uninstall system apps
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
You can by using install-existing because you're uninstalling for current user... no one can uninstall system apps without root, hence the uninstall -0

Disabling apps, if the app package name is called or in system scheduler, it will be enabled again, but if uninstalled it cannot be reinstalled...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] chucktaylur:
Can someone help me out. When entering the adb pair command, I get error code ''adb: usage: unknown command pair''

adb connect works fine. Adb shell gives this error ''error: more than one device/emulator''
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Technowhiteboi:
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

Just switched over and hated the fact I had samsung messages and samsung themselves are no longer using or supporting it due to them switching to supporting RCS.

Anyways, thank you for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Adb pair is in newer version of adb, so update your adb...

If you have more than one device

list all devices, then

Device can be serial number or ip address...

You can use -s [device] with other adb commands such as install, uninstall, etc

Examples

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bikereep:
I've stopped uninstalling / disabling apps as I've found with recent updates, I was getting far worse battery life when I did this vs almost stock watch. I'm in the middle of collecting data, but I'm now getting ~4 days battery life (the watch is on 13hrs normal, 11hrs on bedtime & airplane mode in any 24hr period). I'll post this soon as I don't understand why I'm getting such long battery life, given just 6 weeks ago I was charging twice per day. I'll try and get out in the next couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Disabling can get re-enabled by the os if the os considers it vital...

If you debloat it, and it's a vital package, the os will enter a deadlock state, constantly calling the missing package, draining your battery...

So only debloat things that are not vital such as system watchfaces and so...

For me, I debloated nothing but shm (because I also use shm mod)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bobby janow:
I use shm mod too, Pixel 8 so I have to for BP and ECG. But I need shm to recalibrate, view results etc. I don't think I can do that with shm mod unless I'm missing something.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
no, original shm can never work with shm mod due to several factors (signature and package name), you install the mod for watch and phone and use them together...

Stock SHM has no value if you fully use the mod...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bobby janow:
Of course. I was thinking about the phone app not the watch app. SHM is in fact disabled on my watch. I think it prompts you to delete it during shm mod install but it's been a while since I did it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Hrodryc:
Any news about the wear_notification_daily_activity one? i was trying to use adb to show the current permissions for shealth but it doesnt show me anything to turn off that specific category
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Technically, with root access, this would work

Without root, it would do nothing, also, as per my reading, any app signed by platform key (OS signature), its settings cannot be modified by user (which is weird to force users to accept all permissions)...

We just have to wait and hopefully in the future we can turn it off again somehow...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] yacoub9:
Hello, bro, please can you show me how to flash firmware on my galaxy watch 6 R930 using netodin? I want to get rid off the demo. I have got the firmware but netodin fails to flash it at every attempt. Please help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] Dante63:
Take it to Samsung with proof of purchase or ownership, see if they can help you with that or return the watch and get another that is not a demo...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] yacoub9:
I finally resolved the issue thanks to a guy I will mention soon for acknowledgement...I've just converted the combination firmware files into a single tar file and smooth! It is worked well ! Thanks for your kind advice!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] IWantSlxcky:
does anyone have a full list of the apps and force uninstall?

i used adb appcontrol and causes downloaded watchfaces widgets to disappear after restart.

[Touch HD General] chihang:
Great!

thanks very much! you are so fast!!
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
Looking at the service manual, the screen and bezel can not be seperated, so i guess it is gonna be expensive i.e if you want to replace the bezel you will also get a new screen.

Suggest people ensure their phone is covered by insurance!
[Touch HD General] hykhleif:
so do you think its easy to replace the screen and metal frame?

I am really considering to buy a dummy htc hd but before I do I just want make sure that if it is easy to do by myself
[Touch HD General] ardsar:
A dummy htc hd will probably not have a real screen and looking at the service manual, there appears to be no option to detach the screen from the bezel, however this comment is just based on observation and hopefully someone that has taken one apart can confirm.

I saw a discussion on the forum somewhere that the cost of a new screen was almost half the cost of the touch HD itself due to the fact that the bezel had to be replaced at the same time.

[Touch HD General] die_Leuchte:
I managed to detach the screen from the bezel, but it really was a hard peace of work. You have to stick a thin peace of plastic between the screen an the bezel and lever the display. You should be very careful due to the lcd display and the digitizer are glued together and you might get between the digitizer and the display and destroy it that way. The other thing you should'nt do is lervering the display on the bottom (where the usb connector is) due to the flatcable is located there and you will destroy it with the plastic tool.

Yes I did without destroying it, but I needed special tools. I used a very thin peace of metal. On page 20 from the dissembling manuel you can see the two square holes where the antenna cover is attached to the body.

Just go on and try it but be careful not to brake the little plastic clamps.

Victory, I managed to sucessfully repair my HD today.

Parts needed:

Digitizer ~ € 25, --

LCD Display ~ € 74, --

------------------------

Total: € 99, --

Time: ~ 3 hours

Difficulty: high

Special precautions:

After complete dissembling the HD according to the service Manual you can find in the net you will have to lever the display out of the front bezel from the front side. It is very likely the color and the frame will be damaged a bit! It's best to use a fairly broad plastic "spatula" and lever the display out. It should be noted that the glas of the digitizer is glued to the LCD display so it is very unlikely to repair the HD in case of a broken front glas by only changing the digitizer without changing the lcd display as well. This is unfortunate because digitizer is available very cheap (under € 30, -) over the Internet and usually only the glass of the digiziers breaks.

So who likes the risk and doesnt want to pay the horrendous costs of repair stalls here is the first case of a positive self-repair. PN if you want details. I am sorry but I have no pictures, because I repaired the HD at work and had no cam there.
[Touch HD General] Kokkos:
Broken Screen

I was able to take apart 8282 but the what holds the new screen in place? the double sticky tape? Or the ruined black seal that came out when removing the glass and digitizer? ]

I have taken pictures of dissaembly but will wait to post once re-assembly is successful.

Bought 2 glass/digitizer http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320370952654&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

[Touch HD General] Kokkos:
VGAScreen

Well the broken Glass spider break but digitizer and screen worked (2 weeks) then new glass/digitizer kit off ebay $39 came in.

After taking apart the 8282 the bigger problem was getting off the broken pieces of glass that was stuck to the digitizer which in turn was attached to the video screen.

After cleaning off all the Glass little pieces stuck around the edges of the case where all the double stick tape is Glass fell to pieces when trying to separate from the case thus damaging the video screen.

So I can buy a $78 Video Screen and about $6 of double stick tape, but no way am I going to be able to re-apply or even buy the plastic black seal that went around the screen inside the bevel case.

There is on Ebay the entire assemble Video screen/Digitizer/Glass for about $180 http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-HD-BLACKSTONE-FULL-LCD-TOUCH-SCREEN-DIGITIZER_W0QQitemZ330312236795QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item4ce824befb&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Just found so will probably spend the additional hundred to repair properly.

[Touch HD General] :
I am sure that there must be a solvent to remove the glass without damaging underlying digitizer/LCD screen. Had read something similar for removing the Polarizer from a LCD TV screen sometime back. Can't exactly remember..

[Touch HD General] broadview:
die_Leuchte post gave me the confidence to try and separate the LCD/digitizer assembly from the bezel. First of all, I would recommend only trying to insert a wedge along the upper right side as viewed from the front of the HD screen; the top, bottom, and left edges have cables nearby, visible on the replacement part available on eBay, and could be damaged.

I used an X-acto wedge blade, .5" wide and flat inserted as far as it would go between the screen and bezel, slowing lifting the screen out of the bezel. Once there was a small gap, I was able to slowly remove the screen entirely with just my fingers. The blade left some small scratches on the metal plate on the back of the LCD/digitizer at the insertion point; otherwise there was no damage.

The LCD/digitizer assembly is held in place by a bead of silicone adhesive, spread thinly along a shelf in the bezel wall. Since it's non-penetrating and non-reactive, it looks like a crude white rubber gasket when the screen has been removed.

Problem after assembly

Hello,

I (a firend :) ) was able to dismantle and assemble back my HD with a new digitizer and LCD screen...

The problem now is that when running the screen align the phone dosent respond... I dont know if the problem is from the hardware or from software...

As someone had this problem?

can some one provide some help?

thx
