I own a Xiaomi mi note 10 phone and a Samsung watch watch 4. I download the update, but when I copy it, it gets cut and does not install. Neither through the watch nor through the application on the phone.
Neither via data nor via wi-fi. Do you have a solution? Previous updates have always worked for me
Unfortunately we do not have. Try turning both off and on, try checking if there is an update available for the phone. Also try to see if there is an update available for Galaxy Wearable.
All the latest
Downloading ok.but.then a long update and finally the same unexpected end. The watch is switched off, the mobile phone is switched off and restarted. The rear body is clean android one. I feel like throwing a clean one wear os
I download the update via Wi-Fi in the watch and mainly turn off the bluetooth on the mobile first. This is the third time I have managed to update like this, including today's... I have a Xiaomi 12x mobile phone and Galaxy watch 4 classic
Thank you very much for the question, below in the discussion there is apparently a solution for updating from a phone other than Samsung (I have a One Plus 8 Pro and the update didn't work for me). According to the instructions below, thanks again, it is necessary to update from the watch via WiFi with Bluetooth OFF, even multiple times… J.
So she helped me right from the installation Wearable manager and then installing a new one. Subsequently, register everything, download the backup and update the watch.
Massacre. Samsung big disappointment that it is an expensive watch and such a giant. And support for the 4 series should be until 2025
I already have the last big update Galaxy w4 , but it was a birth...😆The update downloaded but wouldn't install, in the end I had to delete the watch and install it again...Then OK 😊 From: OnePlus 7 mobile
The update failed several times already when downloading the files, later when transferring to the phone, but finally one of the attempts succeeded, but I don't even know which of the methods it was.
After the update, I also "unblocked" pressure and ECG measurements for "noGalaxy” phones – the APK released in mid-August worked.
So after a hard reset to the factor, and several attempts at various shutdowns and resets with various things turned off and on, including reinstalling in the mobile phone, it finally worked... only that I will have to set everything up and improve it again.
