Hi skaif it's the 46, I have reset it this morning and seems to be OK now but I think a watch face without AOD might of been the reason

Cool glad you got it sorted

Can anyone confirm whether the new Galaxy Watch can be used with BT please? I saw an advert that stated EE only? My wife is asking for Christmas gift ideas, but I am loathe to mention it if it can't work with my provider.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I've just got a new Samsung Galaxy Watch. Are there common bugs with Samsung Pay? Every time I try to access it via the Gear App it just downloads the app over and over but never opens.

Not for me mines always worked 1st time . Try a reboot on both the phone and watch and see if in installs then

I like the style and reviews of the Fossil Explorist, but put off comments that it's not the newest chipset. Anyone using one of these?

Would it make any difference that I'm using a Pixel 2 XL?

I think I need to download the APK and install manually. Where is a safe place to download that? I don't want to random Google it as it's a financial app.

I think that may be the app for the phone, I need the app for the watch plug in?

 

[pinkpound]

That is more tricky as its part of the Gear framework.. What about uninstalling Gear app on the phone or boot into recovery and wipe cache ?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

I've reset the watch, uninstalled the apps. Redid everything and it's still the same.

Very disappointing, but I suppose it's to be expected with Samsung software.

Does that help?

 

[Dirk Diggler]

@Deuce no that didn't help, unfortunately.

Does this look like the app and is it safe to install (I'm paranoid about unofficial sources).
