Trust me. THEY ALL SUCK! Not an apple fan but all this Android crap is getting on my nerve! 😡 Google has problems ppl have been complaining about for years. THERE HAS BEEN ZERO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THEM! Apple is not without sin, but I think they are more responsible. I'm the only Android user in the house. I'm strongly considering making that dreaded leap I swore to NEVER make.
I think when it comes to device choice, you cannot afford to make emotional decision. The devides you choose must serve you at the end of the day. For many people, this will differ and while android would be perfect for one person, Apple would better suit another. So you really must look at what your needs are and make the decision based on that alone. Don't care about the company if it doesn't serve your needs because trust me, they do not care about you.
I don't understand why Samsung does not alert you about turning off your WiFi. I was getting ready to return the watch. Very frustrating. This actually fixes the issue 100%. Thank you!
THANK YOU!!!!! I have been researching for a solution to this pairing problem for hours, and was just about to return the watch. You saved my sanity and restored my faith in my ability to have technology!!!
I have to tell you I just watched your video. Well done I just opened my watch and was wondering why I couldn't pair it. You saved me a ton of time and money. I was ready to bring watch back to the store. Your video was clear to the point and you should make more you Rock.
Excellent video. Thanks for posting this. Had recently upgraded my phone from a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE to a Pixel 9 Pro XL after which I just couldn't get my Galaxy Watch 4 to work with the new phone. After watching your video, I followed your advice and disengaged the Wi-Fi it began pairing. Thx again - NR
Thanks for this brotha! My watch was stuck like that for an hour. All I did was turn off wifi, and the pairing finished. Didn't need to un-pair, uninstall or restart anything.
After trying this for over an hour, it finally worked! I ended up restarting my phone and then unpairing it from Bluetooth and trying it again and it worked! Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you for taking the time to save our sanity! Also a quick tip rebooting/restarting and reset are different. I know it seems obvious but I restarted the watch several times before it clicked.
Oh my gosh sir!!! You are a genius!!!!! I had given up and was actually thinking of replacing my phone with a Samsung but now I don't have too because this totally worked! Such a simple fix!!!!!
I have the same problem, and thankfully resolved following your method. Samsung makes great hardware, but lousy software. My phone is paired to many other devices such as my car, my headset etc, and never had such problems unlike my S3 Frontier. It cannot be separated from my iPhone else it would either disconnect and unable to reconnect again (time to reset!) or it will reconnect (80% of the time).
@Fylosofy I have a Galaxy Watch3 and a Galaxy S20 +5G. I had a Galaxy S9+ that paired perfectly with the watch. I have done all your steps several time along with suggestions to clear cache (as others in this thread have mentioned) in Galaxy Wearables and deleting all my bluetoothed connected items (as a referenced link in this thread advise). Still no luck. I can't believe how difficult it is to pair the same manufacturers devices. Any suggestions on next steps?
this is the most useful video I found for this problem. I was very scared for that specific error but it totally helped me thank you dude. It deserve a lot of views
THANK YOU! I've been having this problem with my watch and it's been going for about 2 weeks. I tried to reset both the watch and the phone (with backups), tried to wipe the dalvik cache, and even unrooting my phone, but nothing worked. I'm pretty surprised that this worked, but it worked! Thanks a lot for sharing what worked for you :)
Didn't work for me, either. The truck where he unpaired the watch in the middle of the galaxy app pairing, my watch closed and I had to restart the whole thing again.
Thanks for the instructions, God bless you! Let me add my experience... When I switched from Samsung to Xiaomi device, I couldn't connect my gear S3 at all. Tried all your steps, but still didn't work. In order to get it done, I had to get into developer mode and then turn of MIUI optimization in developer options. Only after that I managed to set it up following your instructions. Hope someone will find this comment helpful.
Thank you for your comment. I always encourage people who don't find the video as a solution to their problem to scroll through the comments here because there are lots of people who have updated their experiences.
Fantastic. Struggled for 3 days to pair my Galaxy Watch with new S23 Ultra. It worked but in my case, when I switch off wifi Galaxy watch Plugin is automatically switching it on. So, I have to uninstall watch plugin on phone and redo the pairing with wear. A big Thank you 🙏.
Hey followed your video and I didn't have any luck until I turned on mobile data. Not sure if that was mentioned but hopefully it works for anyone who's frustrated with the pairing failing. Try: WiFi off, Bluetooth on and data On. The pairing screen should come up after trying to connect.
After the step at 2:15 it shows the yellow connect icon but taking forever to connect. Please help I have infinix note 10 pro and Samsung galaxy watch active 2
This happend to me as well, I had to put apps to sleep to help with my battery life and one of the apps that controlled the samsung software must have been on the list. I enabled all the apps and did what you showed in the video and it worked. Thank you
@@trevormark7115 I'm sorry. It might have to come to that. I only made this video for people to try before taking those drastic steps because it turns out this works for many people but it's not guaranteed to always be the fix for everyone because of the range if devices and software polarity in the Android space.
@@Fylosofy_ thank you I went to a Samsung shop and they told me my phone its compatible and certified for wearables, am from Africa so the device versions some times we get are not up to standard. But thank you for the help
For Samsung S21 Ultra 5G users. I finally figured it out! Months without using my watch was so ready to give up. While it was stuck pairing I unpaired the blue tooth, went to my watch which showed the disconnection, was able to scroll down and found a "?". I pressed that and I was able to get through settings of the watch and I RESET it. Boom, watch started up, pairing began and with a few seconds it was done. Holy shit finally. Apparently watch can pair to new phone but the watch doesn't like the "old phone" stuff on it. Must be reset.
I appreciate very much the video you've published. I´m facing the same problem. My Active 2 is not recognized by my Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. It used to work, while it was running MIUI 11, but after the update to MIUI 12, I noticed that notifications stopped arriving. Then I tried to reinstall it and tried to follow the steps you've shown, but unfortunately it still gets stuck on "finishing pairing". Any other idea? Thank you!
Sorry to hear that. This is just one fix because none of the fixes I saw worked for me and this is the one that did. Just to make sure, you turned off the wifi while pairing and made sure to remove the watch from the Bluetooth paired list? You can also tap and hole on the wearable app and go to app info then tap on clear cache. Because you updated your phone, there could be an issue on the Gear watch plugin which gets installed so just try and make sure it has all permissions granted and make sure it is running when you pair.
thank you so much, I've just driven myself demented trying to pair my watch to a new phone...I'm in spain and at one point it decided to be in spanish as well. when the pairing got stuck I did a bit of googling and some solutions seemed very complicatd.. this is the first one I found that said 'turn off the wifi' and it worked almost immediately. You need a medal. Thanks...
Have you tried the other solutions that people have posted in the common section? There are some solutions here in the command section that people suggested work for them when this didn't.
@@blackpinkchingu1122 Generaly I don't unless I move too far away from my phone but then again, it reconnects easily once I'm closer to my phone again, so I doubt it. It's possible with these updates and things change when some manufacturers want to make their products more proprietary but otherwise, it should be just fine.
Does it apply to all phones? Mine is an S23 FE. or is there another underlying issue? I've tried pretty much everything and it all leads back to this infinite pairing screen. It's the 2018 galaxy watch and no matter what I do, it's still just stuck in this pairing mode. Clearing data, reinstalling the wear app, reinstalling the plug-in, resetting the watch. I feel like my watch is bricked or broken.
There are many issues with this watch parking and my video is just one of the fixes that might work but sometimes it doesn't because the issue isn't the same. But if it's not hardware then it has to be software. I've also heard of someone saying the newer phone models don't pair anymore so if you know someone with another model phone that's a bit older than maybe try that and see if it pairs then it's the phone model that's no longer compatible.
woooow bro, you are truly a King for posting this. Thanks so much, it's been very helpful for me. the watch becomes better when you connect it to your phone 😊😊😊🎉
Hy can u help plz. When i go back to blue tooth while it is pairing, and connect to watch it just fr a second says connected and then again disconnects. And the screen is stuck at finishing pairing

Can help me that i m trying to connect my active2 with my note8. its getting hard to connect which is, it takes too long to finishing pairing till now. How can i fix this, i tried many ways to do, but it wont happen now.
Me too, after I connect it only connects for a second but then it disconnects again :( I've been trying for almost 2 hours with this tutorial and it doesn't work
@@sonnymabruri8656 The Sumasung S20 seems to have some bluetooth pairing issues when it come to re-connecting to paired devices so you might want t try this fix: th-cam.com/video/NPMp93zD8Xs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AndroidExplained As for the difference in blutooth types possibly causing pairing issues, that might be a possibility, I can't say for sure, I just think that we would all generally trust that all devices of the same brands would more or less likely have a more seamless compatibility between each other.
Im so frustrated with my galaxy active 1 watch. Ive had it over a year now. I just updated it 2 weeks ago and now it wont pair back up. Ive uninstalled the app, reset the watch, turned off the wifi and nothing works. Ive sent multiple messages to Samsung to no avail. They want me to send it in for repairs. It works fine in standalone mode. I even rebooted it and still nothing. This only happened after those updates. Im so upset!! Thankz for trying to help tho
I started having problems yesterday with my phone! I was already at my wits end with the watch, that I just backed everything up, reset my whole phone, and now my watch is working perfect! I turned the wifi off on my watch and its not draining the battery. Its so wierd tho. Thank you for your help!
@@TheMelanie0311 I'm glad you got it sorted but I came across this fix cause I wasn't ready to reset my whole phone just for my watch to work with mine again. Lol but yeah, having the watch paired to the phone always or wifi on will drain your battery. I use mine as a stand alone for most of the day and then I pair it with my phone to add data about 5 minutes a day and back or airplane mode again and they gives me up to 7 days battery life being on 24 hours a day.
@@Fylosofy_ Ive never used mine on airplane mode. This was the 1st time i had ever used it in stand alone mode too. Its bad but I felt sooo lost without getting my emails, texts and calls! If I hadnt used stand alone mode, I probably would have pulled out my hair! Lol. My bff is trying to get my to buy an apple watch. Do you have to have an Iphone for that watch to pair up? Or will an apple watch pair up to an android phone?
i have a samsung a01 and i cant pair my samsun gear sport watch, it is no on the wearable app and wont even try to connect when i select it in nearby devices
As in this video, the pairing process between my Samsung Galaxy Smart Watch (46 mm, model SM-R800) and my Samsung S23+ phone would hang at the last of the 4 dots on the phone screen's pairing process. After updating all software and all apps, the result was the same. Finally, I uninstalled the Galaxy Wearable app and reinstalled it. To be safe, I then shut off the watch and turned it back on, and I rebooted my phone. Then I started the pairing prcess again. This time, I had extra questions to answer because of the new Wearable app. The pairing process still took a while to finish the fourth dot on the phone screen's pairing process, but it ultimately worked.
have you had a look at the list of other fixes in the comment section? They might work for you if this fix didn't. let us know. (btw, I know exactly how frustrating it is when it's not connecting)
Hi, sorry to hear this fox didn't work for your device. please read the pinned comment as there are other fixes that worked for people and they posted them here? Hope that helps.
Glad it worked for you. I spent 2 days trying to figure this out when it happened to mine. Lol I had to be brave then first time I thought I figured it out to disconnect and reset so I could make the video.

Thank you so much:) I was trying to pair it with iPhone, it got connected at first but then while I was creating a Samsung account it disconnected and didn't want to react anymore. I did all the steps from the beginning and TURNED OFF WIFI and it paired. I have created the Samsung account once I was in the application with wifi.
God bless you! Been trying to do all the resetting and planning to return my phone to the telcom provider since my watch went nuts after I change my phone. However, after pairing, watch keeps on experiencing on and off connection. Also, when using mobile data, notifications are not shown virtually in my watch, it just prompts that I have received a msg. Anyone experiencing the same? Have you resolved it?
It doesn't work on my samsung note 10+, when bluetooth disconnects and I try to connect it again by going to blutooth menu it again starts the whole pairing process from the start and again stuck on finishing pairing ☹️ please help
Hi. That's an odd one I have not experienced before so I'm afraid I don't know the fix for this problem. Have you tried looking at the comments here for other fixes?
@@Fylosofy_ Sorry for the late reply, I still have not found any fix related to my issue. Main issue is that Samsung don't allow Rooted or custom rom phone's to connect with any of Samsung watches, I tried installing patches and hiding root from wearable app but still facing the same issue 🥲
@@sachin00784 I think mine was also stuck in the place where it was just saying "finishing pairing" but it never showed me the "Agree to terms and conditions" part. So if you are getting that point but then cannot go beyond it, then yours might not be the same problem as mine was.
My WiFi is already off..and still not finishing pairing ..mine completes pairing .then is asks to select to agree user agreement and click on next..that wher I can't go forward
If this fox didn't work, try reading through the comment section here because there are some people that have found other fixes and they out them down here.
This video is the answer. I spent several hours trying to pair my new galaxy watch to nokia 8.1 and the reason was that the watch was not actually connected in bluetooth settings when pairing screen appears in samsung wearable app.
It must just be me but I can't really follow along just with visual and no audio. I had to zoom in several times to see what he was doing on the screen. And couldn't get through the whole video because I was lost without someone explaining what he was doing.
There is sound on the video with me explaining step by step what I'm doing. So not sure why you're not hearing the steps/instructions. Unless you're an English speaker then I can see the problem there.
Thank you. I'm going to try this. For a leader like Samsung, this is unacceptable.

Can help me that i m trying to connect my active2 with my note8. its getting hard to connect which is, it takes too long to finishing pairing till now. How can i fix this, i tried many ways to do, but it wont happen now.
Have you tried this method in the video?
@@Fylosofy_ I tried but still the same.
mine only says "connected" in the bluetooth settings for 1 sec. any fix?
Man, sorry. There I'm not sure. Have you tried forgetting the device in the Bluetooth settings and restarting the pairing process?
Me too, after I connect it only connects for a second but then it disconnects again :( I've been trying for almost 2 hours with this tutorial and it doesn't work
Sir can't sir I can't able to pair my phone is tecno pova neo and my watch is gear sport b5es and please can you help me out
I tried using Bluetooth, but I still get to the last "accept" screen and it does not complete. Do you have another suggestion?
Hi, have you tried some of the suggestions that worked for others in the comments section?
My watch stuck on the let's go screen any advice
Great fix, worked for me on the first try on my active 21
Thanks!
My phone keeps disconnecting the watch when im trying to connect
When they happened to my watch, the only way I could recconect again was to forget the device on my watch Bluetooth list and then pair it again.
How connect samsung gear s3 with galaxy note 20 ultra,its probably not compatible?
It should be. Just make sure all of the supporting apps are also installed.
@@Fylosofy_ do you think different Bluetooth type not become problem?
@@sonnymabruri8656 The Sumasung S20 seems to have some bluetooth pairing issues when it come to re-connecting to paired devices so you might want t try this fix: th-cam.com/video/NPMp93zD8Xs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AndroidExplained
As for the difference in blutooth types possibly causing pairing issues, that might be a possibility, I can't say for sure, I just think that we would all generally trust that all devices of the same brands would more or less likely have a more seamless compatibility between each other.
Im so frustrated with my galaxy active 1 watch. Ive had it over a year now. I just updated it 2 weeks ago and now it wont pair back up. Ive uninstalled the app, reset the watch, turned off the wifi and nothing works. Ive sent multiple messages to Samsung to no avail. They want me to send it in for repairs. It works fine in standalone mode. I even rebooted it and still nothing. This only happened after those updates. Im so upset!! Thankz for trying to help tho
Have you made sure to install all the supporting add-ons?
I also saw an update but decided to not take it because you never n is what side effects you will experience from them.
I started having problems yesterday with my phone! I was already at my wits end with the watch, that I just backed everything up, reset my whole phone, and now my watch is working perfect! I turned the wifi off on my watch and its not draining the battery. Its so wierd tho. Thank you for your help!
@@TheMelanie0311 I'm glad you got it sorted but I came across this fix cause I wasn't ready to reset my whole phone just for my watch to work with mine again. Lol but yeah, having the watch paired to the phone always or wifi on will drain your battery. I use mine as a stand alone for most of the day and then I pair it with my phone to add data about 5 minutes a day and back or airplane mode again and they gives me up to 7 days battery life being on 24 hours a day.
@@Fylosofy_ Ive never used mine on airplane mode. This was the 1st time i had ever used it in stand alone mode too. Its bad but I felt sooo lost without getting my emails, texts and calls! If I hadnt used stand alone mode, I probably would have pulled out my hair! Lol. My bff is trying to get my to buy an apple watch. Do you have to have an Iphone for that watch to pair up? Or will an apple watch pair up to an android phone?
i have a samsung a01 and i cant pair my samsun gear sport watch, it is no on the wearable app and wont even try to connect when i select it in nearby devices
This is new to me. Please make sure that your Bluetooth is turned on and that your watch is NOT In flight mode just in case.
Not enough ram
Turned my wi-fi off and it worked immediately. Thanks
As in this video, the pairing process between my Samsung Galaxy Smart Watch (46 mm, model SM-R800) and my Samsung S23+ phone would hang at the last of the 4 dots on the phone screen's pairing process. After updating all software and all apps, the result was the same. Finally, I uninstalled the Galaxy Wearable app and reinstalled it. To be safe, I then shut off the watch and turned it back on, and I rebooted my phone. Then I started the pairing prcess again. This time, I had extra questions to answer because of the new Wearable app. The pairing process still took a while to finish the fourth dot on the phone screen's pairing process, but it ultimately worked.
App name please
That is the Galaxy Wearable app.
@@Fylosofy_ my watch not connect the this app please help me🥺
@@Fylosofy_ my watch name is Samsung gear s
This is insane. New watch and fresh factory reset on my phone and it won't connect. How did this product pass QA testing???
have you had a look at the list of other fixes in the comment section?
They might work for you if this fix didn't.
let us know. (btw, I know exactly how frustrating it is when it's not connecting)
turning off wifi didnt seemt to help, but from wear app when I turned on power saving mode that finally kicked the watch out of the setup screen
There have been many fixes that worked for others instead of this video but that's a new one. Thanks for sharing.
Hi i did same as you but it's still not working when i go to Bluetooth click on watch name it connects and disconnect right away
Hi, sorry to hear this fox didn't work for your device. please read the pinned comment as there are other fixes that worked for people and they posted them here? Hope that helps.
Thanks it worked for me I followed a reddit link and had to clear cache and storage of s plug in while it was pairing
So glad you got it right.
Hi sorry again now I'm having another issue it's connected only once then not connecting at all any solution for this one please
Thanks@@Fylosofy_
thank you so much man you saved my life i was actully going to throw my watch away because I thought it was broken
Glad it worked for you. I spent 2 days trying to figure this out when it happened to mine. Lol I had to be brave then first time I thought I figured it out to disconnect and reset so I could make the video.
Sir kindly guide ihave already connect Samsung galaxy watch 4 with my Samsung phne 8plus when I have power off my watch or restart my watch then it will not connect easily but watch data erase error appears kindly help me to connect automatically to watch 4 on my phne
Did you have problems connecting the first time?
@@Fylosofy_ not first time connect but 2nd time I m try to recconect than it is not connect
@@meharbano4798 I think make sure you go into the Bluetooth settings and choose your Galaxy watch from there as well to make sure it's connected before you go to the wearable app.
@@Fylosofy_ sir I have already connected my galaxy watch 4 with my phone it's fine but when I restart my galaxy watch 4 and reconnect with my phone with wearable app it's not connect all data erase occurs didn't want to erase
Data in my watch but I want it's simply connected automatically without erase data in my watch kindly guide me
Thanks
I still having Issue Connecting it Infinix note 12 in past tries it with all other infinix models result is same.
Do any one having any idea?
Putting a dot I need help too
Thank you so much:) I was trying to pair it with iPhone, it got connected at first but then while I was creating a Samsung account it disconnected and didn't want to react anymore. I did all the steps from the beginning and TURNED OFF WIFI and it paired. I have created the Samsung account once I was in the application with wifi.
omg 😃 I just trun WiFi off n it worked of course without going back any steps lol THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO!
It’s working, Thank you so much. I was stucked with this issue. ❤️
Glad it helped
Brilliant I had no idea how to fix this problem, especially with my spotify account, thank you very much
God bless you! Been trying to do all the resetting and planning to return my phone to the telcom provider since my watch went nuts after I change my phone. However, after pairing, watch keeps on experiencing on and off connection. Also, when using mobile data, notifications are not shown virtually in my watch, it just prompts that I have received a msg. Anyone experiencing the same? Have you resolved it?
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I haven't had that experience so not sure how to fix it.
I did it over and over and it still doesn't pairs help plx
Make sure your forget the device and uninstall plugin from going to settings then all apps
I did it when I sign in to iCloud and it updated
OMG THANK YOU. THIS WAS PISSING ME OFF SO BAD!
Worked like a charm. Thank you very much!
Your suggestions worked perfectly. Thank you!
Thanks alot this video was a great help with my new Galaxy Watch 3 and pairing to my one plus one phone :)
My is not connecting
After pairing it doesn't connect
Have you tried the other solutions that worked for others in the comments section here?
@@Fylosofy_ yeah almost all
THANK YOU! I would have never figured that out on my own.
It doesn't work on my samsung note 10+, when bluetooth disconnects and I try to connect it again by going to blutooth menu it again starts the whole pairing process from the start and again stuck on finishing pairing ☹️ please help
Hi. That's an odd one I have not experienced before so I'm afraid I don't know the fix for this problem. Have you tried looking at the comments here for other fixes?
@@Fylosofy_ Sorry for the late reply, I still have not found any fix related to my issue. Main issue is that Samsung don't allow Rooted or custom rom phone's to connect with any of Samsung watches, I tried installing patches and hiding root from wearable app but still facing the same issue 🥲
Bro in my case it's not going ahead of agree butten screen pls help
I don't understand, please elaborate?
It's like all the process is done but it stucks at the screen whare you have to tap on agree. I am using a OnePlus 8t device
@@sachin00784 this is odd, have you tried some of the other fixes in the comments?
No sir will do that and than let you know
@@sachin00784 I think mine was also stuck in the place where it was just saying "finishing pairing" but it never showed me the "Agree to terms and conditions" part. So if you are getting that point but then cannot go beyond it, then yours might not be the same problem as mine was.
you're my hero!!!! this worked for me.
So glad this video is actually helping people. Thanks for the feedback.
I dont understand my phone is the samsung galaxy a7 and my galaxy watch pairing says its incompetible with my device please help it does not connect
And my watch is not even displayt in my wearable app
Hi, are you sure you have downloaded all of the necessary supporting apps? And do you see your watch in your Bluetooth settings?
My WiFi is already off..and still not finishing pairing ..mine completes pairing .then is asks to select to agree user agreement and click on next..that wher I can't go forward
Fantastic, exactly what I needed to do. Thanks 🙏
Bro, my phone just pair the watch it do not connect plz help plz plz(
If this fox didn't work, try reading through the comment section here because there are some people that have found other fixes and they out them down here.
I cant even connect my watch via bluetooth. It always says new device found. I habe a watch active 2 and a s8 phone
Saved me a stressful afternoon thank you.
Sir please infinix hot 10 plz reply me and not connecting my watch
Sorry, could you rephrase? I don't quite understand your request.
Thank you so much. i was stuck with my gear sport and you saved me :D
No problem 👍
This video is the answer. I spent several hours trying to pair my new galaxy watch to nokia 8.1 and the reason was that the watch was not actually connected in bluetooth settings when pairing screen appears in samsung wearable app.
It must just be me but I can't really follow along just with visual and no audio. I had to zoom in several times to see what he was doing on the screen. And couldn't get through the whole video because I was lost without someone explaining what he was doing.
There is sound on the video with me explaining step by step what I'm doing. So not sure why you're not hearing the steps/instructions. Unless you're an English speaker then I can see the problem there.
Great - thanks. This worked. Strange the Wifi interference if that's really what's going on.
