the facer app requires you to have the facer plugin/app for the watch i know on tizen it was a resource hog.

Can you access the watch faces and wear os apps via the phone btw or just the watch(im new to wear os)

Yeah tou have the app installed on your watch and phone and browse them via the phone app. Then select the one you want and it syncs to the watch. 1000s of free ones and same for paid.
 
Is it possible to have the Facebook messenger app and WhatsApp on the new watch 4. i was hoping to be able to start a conversation on both as opposed to responding to messages is this at all possible with the new wear os pls ?
 
Well, I am really impressed with my Samsung galaxy watch 4 classic.

The only real thing i do not like atm is the watch face situation.
I had some beautiful ones that looked realistic had good colouring good shading lots of options for the watch face itself. the ones, especially for facer(and i have to admit i really do not like the facer app), are mostly cartooney. i know in the grand scheme of things i am just moaning and better ones will come, its jsut i am so used to the ones i already had on my tyzen watch.

Apart from that. i need to get a 3rd party strap like a lot of other people have said the no movement by the lugs is annoying a small erk.

Overall i am happy and will just have to get over the changes.
 
Are there any rolling sim providers that work with the LTE version of the watch? I’m happy on Voxi but they don’t seem to offer watch data plans.

No email notifications are working for me. also, i hope to god the battery life improves with updates and learning. got home today from work with 27% battery left. mind you that is with aod on and constant heart rate etc basically all the bells and whistles are activated. so erm around 8 hours i think.

EDIT : Alo my watch crashes. and loses connection with my phone and on the watch, it displays emergency calls only ?. Has anyone had this?

Had no crashes but very sporadic notifications , email from samsung app are ok now but I'm not getting text messages anymore something definitely not right with Google OS compared to Tizen. Battery wise I've had watch on 9 hours no AOD but everything else on I'm at 88% battery

I'm due to trade in my Galaxy Watch 3 Tuesday to Samsung and I'm not too happy sending it off with problems I'm having at the moment . I don't think its the watch more Galaxy Watch app on my phone

Here goes i will try.
1)make sure to unlink the mobile network from your old smartwatch(if you have one)
2) Make sure to reset your old smartwatch from the watch.
3)make sure to remove the old watch from the Samsung wearable app
4)When you install your new smartwatch it comes to a point when you add the accounts. do not use a backup. jsut try and start the watch from fresh.
5)make sure your Samsung account is added and your main google account is added.
A problem i have had in the past was upgrading from the Samsung watch 46 to the active 2. Was somehow the old esim stuck, so in effect, i had 2 esims on my galaxy active 2 this caused a load of problems. ring up 02 and check they have the correct EID, and IME number listed on your account for the watch. this is what caused me problems iun the past.

Sometimes when you get a new smartwatch the old EID and IME can get stuck. thus when your new watch tries to activate. it cant because it thinks your old one is still active.


Try uninstalling the samsung wearable app and the pluggin. and resetting your watch. then restart your phone and start a fresh install.
Anyhow hope it helps somewhat

Did you get an esim voucher with the watch?

I never had one with my new watch. And mine was a new contract. I know some youtube reviewers are saying you need one. but as far as i am aware and what i did with mine. so long as the main phone and the watch are paired ie on the same network and the watch is linked to the same mobile number as the phone you are using to set up and use the smartwatch app on, it should pick up the esim. you can do what i did, when setting up the mobile network it does a search and should pick up the esim.

On O2, the only way to activate the 4g connection is to scan and activate an esim voucher on the wear app when setting up the phone. It gets its own number, however as its paired to the phone using your Samsung account it automatically gets the calls texts etc from your main mobile numbe r
