Wear OS Devices, Do They Work?

bereft_penguin

ScribbleJ I found a very similar, if not identical issue here, for a different wear os device and an Xperia phone running what appears to be the stock os. There is no solution unfortunately, but you may be able to track down more information from that post.

From the description (I didn't check the logs), it seems I had the same issue, albeit with a Samsung Watch 4 classic.

What I think worked for me was giving GMS permission for "access to nearby devices".

mafrasi2 this worked for me as well. thank you

mafrasi2 how did you get gms installed? Is it just part of google play services?

mafrasi2 I can't find a way to give GMSCompatConfig access to nearby devices. Play services already have access to nearby devices. I am not in the owner profile.
I am trying to connect a Skagen Falster 6 to a pixel 6a, but it always gives me the same error you are describing.

Where is it likely that I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance

gruntlord6 yes GMS and Play Services are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably.

I've also managed to configure a Galaxy Watch 4 by following the tips in this thread (installed the 3 Google apps in sandbox mode and allowed nearby devices).

I'm currently running gms sandboxed but in the owner profile to get all the notifications such as phone, SMS, IM, etc to work. I haven't sign in with Samsung or google accounts, yet, I don't feel that comfortable with this config. What is your opinion regarding this? Did you manage to get the same but with a work profile? What kind of data am I providing to the big players besides the one described in GrapheneOS docs?

So do you have to set nearby devices for google play services or all 3 sandboxed play store, gps, gsf?

icipher

In my case, I had to install play store, play services (gms) and gsf with nearby for play services

icipher How do I install GSF?

trochi You no longer need Google Services Framework (GSF), so it's not offered anymore.
