Informer App for Watch5 Pro LTE.

[Bear9119]

Hi Sammies,

I don't know and very weak at high tech phones and watches. 

In Singapore, almost everyone uses WhatsApp. I don't remember why I installed Informer app in my Watch5 Pro LTE. But I'm able to receive my WhatsApp message and could reply. 

But I recently realised that Informer app drains plenty of battery. My watch is set to 1/3 brightness without having the watch face appearing all the time. But it still could only barely last one and half day from 100% to 0%. To be safe. I would say that my watch could only last a day of normal usages of health monitoring. I don't exercise at all, and I don't use the GPS. But I leave WiFi and BT turned on all the time.

I hope someone could help me by giving me setting or any instructions. Can my watch still works the same of I uninstall Informer app? Will I be able to receive and reply WhatsApp and what Informer app could do?

Thank you!

Best regards, 

John Lim

Hi Bear9119, able to see in ur Galaxy Wearable's App Notifications that WhatsApp is toggled on?

[Bear9119]

Hi JP19. I turned on notifications of all apps, including WhatsApp. But I still don't get messages and notifications from WhatsApp. I think I have to visit the physical Samsung shop to ask them help me. Thanks again! Have a nice weekend.😃

Hi, btw just to check that u also have the Wear OS app installed, is it? Which means u have both Galaxy Wearable and Wear OS by Google apps installed, right? Actually for Samsung watches running Wear OS 3 and above, will just need to have the Galaxy Wearable app installed will do.

Hi JP19. Yes. I have all installed in both my phone and watch.
I watched on YouTube that taught Por5 users how to install WhatsApp, YT, IG and any app we want by creating a developer mode on our warch, turn off some debugging, and then download any apps's AKP into the watch. I know nuts about all these. Do you suggest I trying these steps?
How I wish there's somewhere or someone I could go to in Singapore to help me with everything by paying fees. O doubt the Samsung outlet staff, or my operator, Starhub could do these for me.
Do you happened to know of any resources like these that I could visit?

[JP19]

Haha.. actually don't say u.. I also know nuts about enabling developer mode on the watch to install WA and etc. 😅

U may try.. however, I believe those YouTube videos will often include a disclaimer that the settings could brick the watch and void the warranty.

Have u tried Samsung's Smart Tutor before? It's a platform for users to get in contact with Samsung's technician over the phone and u granting permission to the technician to remote into ur phone to view ur settings.

[JP19]

Btw, do u want to try to uninstall Wear OS by Google app on both phone and watch? Because I feel that the Wearable app is sufficient. Not sure if the Wear OS by Google app is the culprit.

Hi JP19. These are screenshot on my watch and ohone. 🙏🏼

Hi Bear9119, are u still having issues?

[Bear9119]

Hi JP19. I gave up and called Samsung. They've helped me to book an appointment to visit their service centre next Saturday to help me to fix everything I don't know. From the moment I dialed the Samsung helpline till I hung my phone, 2 hours have passed. Thanks your kind concern. Have a restful weekend. Take care.

Thanks for the update! 🙏 It must be frustrating, not being to see whatsapp notifications despite wearing ur watch.

Hope at the service centre, they will be able to solve all ur problems! 😁

You too. Happy weekends and take care! 😋
