Galaxy Wearable App broken in Samsung and Pixel device
Samsung Galaxy Watches are one of the top gadgets among the other devices. The company has offered several utilities in its watches that are available to provide seamless services for the users. The most important thing about watches is that the Korean giant hasn’t limited the accessibility of the watches to Galaxy devices, but they can be used with any smartphones. But for a few days, users have been unable to take advantage of the seamless connection of Galaxy watches with Pixel devices and Samsung devices.
According to the reports shared by several users on Reddit, they are unable to get proper functioning of Galaxy watches with their pixel smartphones; more specifically, some users are saying that since they have installed the January 2024 security patch on their smartphones, Galaxy watches are not staying connected with the smartphones. It is worth mentioning that the issue is not only limited to any one Galaxy watch but is observed on all three wearOS-powered smartwatches.
The same problem is also observed on Galaxy smartphones. Going into details, it looks like the main problem is related to the Galaxy Wearable application, which plays the main role in connecting the Galaxy watches to the smartphones. Some users also claim to have a solution to get rid of it, just by setting the date back to 2023, but it is a temporary solution.
To fix this problem, we are depending on Samsung to release a new update for the Galaxy wearable application so it can be optimized with the January 2024 security patch, or it may also provide server-side updates to the plugins for every watch. However, there has been no response from Samsung yet, so we don’t have any information about when this problem will be addressed.
Over the years, Google has made several improvements to its most crucial application, the Google Play Store, and it constantly provides new utility features and improvements. Now, with the latest development, the company is working on a new capability to handle multiple application downloads.
According to the information, Google is looking to bring a new capability to download multiple applications together. Previously, when you tap on the install button of the applications, it starts downloading them one by one. When one application fully downloads, it starts downloading the second application.
However, it is worth noticing that the phenomenon of multiple downloading is limited to only two applications, meaning if you tap on more than three applications to download, it will start downloading two applications while the third one is still pending.
Additionally, the simultaneous download is limited to the new installs, but it will not apply to the update section. We hope that Google may expand the multiple downloads to update phenomenon and may increase the number of downloads together in the next developments.
As per the information, the new change has already started working on several devices, at least for the Android 14 installed devices with the latest version of the Play Store (40.6.31).
Good Lock plays a key role in providing a platform for all the customizing applications or plugins of the Galaxy devices. For information, it provides several types of plugins like NavStar, QuickStar, LockStar, Camera Assistant, and many more. With these plugins, users can perform several customizations for the smartphone UI, including navigation bars, lock screens, home screens, notifications, and many more. To manage these plugins more conveniently, the company has started rolling out the update for Good Lock.
Good Lock is receiving a new update, version 2.2.04.95. With the latest update, the company has introduced some new changes that will fix the phenomenon of installation and deletion of modules, so users can easily manage them according to their requirements.
Along with this, the changelog also says to bring some fixes for the security-related functionalities, so if you are also having some issues while using any of the functions of Good Lock or want to get some performance enhancements, then you should go for the latest Good Lock update.
If you want to install the latest version of Good Lock, you can check its availability from the Galaxy Store. If it is available, tap on the update button, but if it isn’t available, you can also sideload the application through some external sources.
