Samsung Gear Watch stuck on "finishing pairing" Simple Fix (Try before you resetting your phone)
Ғылым және технология
This might be a simple fix for your Samsung Gear watch if you have tried resetting your watch resetting your phone and clearing cache data and all of that but none of it worked. This could be the simplest fix you could try.
Do note that this does not require clearing any cache data or resetting the phone or uninstalling and re-installing any apps.
This worked for me and some people but it might not be the same problem for you in which case, it would not solve your problem pairing if you're having issues but it's worth a try to rule it out before you start with resetting your phone and watch, etc

Thank you. I'm going to try this. For a leader like Samsung, this is unacceptable.

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.
Dude, you are the man! Thank you so much for this step-by-step yet fast and easy tutorial!
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.
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!!!
BRILLIANT!!!!! Your solution worked immediately, and it was extremely easy. THANK YOU!!
Thank you, this fixed my issue, even the Samsung official forum hasn't mentioned this.
I really thank you. You are the man! After months of lost hopes, I finally managed to pair my watch. Now I can use again the watch for my workouts
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!
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
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.
Life saver! I tried so many things before I came across this video, thanks!
Excellent. Tried this and it took two minutes to connect rather than the 18hours I had tried beforehand. Thank you.

Thank you for this! It took me 2 days following Samsung's advice and this solved it in a minute.
I was about to send my watch back to the store, but you saved me!! Thank you so much!
So simple a fix and it actually worked on my watch as well. I couldn't figure the problem for few days, but now it's solved Thanks man
Great video my good man, had the same problem and was getting rather annoyed but tried your fix and it worked. Thank you.
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.

Thank you so much for this!!! It fixed my pairing issue WITHOUT having to factory reset my phone.
Thanks . It worked! Been trying for over a week to get it paired and finally, a smart watch I can use..
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.
Great fix, worked for me on the first try on my active 21 Thanks!
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!!!!!

Happy for you.
Thank-you so much. Your fix worked for me, but I did have to restart the pairing at least a couple of times after disconnecting wifi
Its still like that after a year. Problem was fixed after following your method. Thanks a lot.
Saved me a stressful afternoon thank you.
Your suggestions worked perfectly. Thank you!
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).
worked straight away after many others had tried to help me. Thanks
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.
Thank you! I was starting to go insane while trying to figure out what was wrong. 😅👍👍👍❤️

@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?

Thanks👋 saved me an awful lot of hassle.
Thank you!!! Worked for me!!
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.
Dang, it works brother. Thank you.
OMG THANK YOU. THIS WAS PISSING ME OFF SO BAD!
thank you! worked a treat
Whew! That fixed it for my S2 phone! Txs!!
Thank you! It worked :)
So helpful, thanks so much!

Try wifi off, Bluetooth on and data on
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.

Yes I had to do this too and then reset my watch Thank you 😊
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.

Great - thanks. This worked. Strange the Wifi interference if that's really what's going on.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks a lot !! that solved my problem
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 🙏.

omg 😃 I just trun WiFi off n it worked of course without going back any steps lol THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO!
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...

Thank you very much found this video after trying lot of shits thank you very much
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.
thanks alot it really worked👍
