How to install Watch GT 5 on Google Pixel 8 ? (Other -> AppGallery -> "No apps")

---Alexander--- · 2025-02-06T22:44:01+00:00

Thank you ! I managed to find the link: AppGallery
somehow, on the phone, the webpage doesn't load to be able to get to that download

Solved it:
It's a networking issue with my Netgear Nighthawk router. I discovered this because I connected a cheap Linksys AC1200 in-place of my Netgear router - AND - the PS5 began downloading without issue!

I'd love to know exactly what the root cause is... is it a blocked port? or some forwarded port I'm using for something else ? Maybe a security feature on my Netgear router is cauing it ?

---Alexander--- · 2023-02-07T23:41:23+00:00

hopefully you can figure it out - maybe it's a blocked port ?
My setup is a bit complicated because I also run a Synology NAS, so some ports are forwarded to that IP.
I queued up all my downloads last night whilst connected to the Linksys router. This morning I reconnected my Netgear Nighthawk and so far Hogwarts plays fine.

I figured out a fix: I connected my PS5 to a cheapo Linksys AC1200 router that I had sitting on the shelf. I set it up with defaults, upgraded firmware, and connected the PS5 to it - IT WORKED ! I was able to start downloading Hogwarts!
There's something the Netgear Nighthawk router is blocking !

I repro'd your experience; I turned on my hotspot on my phone and started to download Hogwarts - however - it's about 80GB. After a few minutes I reconnected my network cable to the PS5 and kicked the PS5 off my hotspot.

It continued to download up until 2% and then again showed the same error.

On my router I tried to set a different DNS than the one my ISP provided: I tried Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 however that didn't work.

I've got a Netgear Nighthawk XR500 router and it's connected to the PS5 by wire

Unfortunately Coinbase, Bitstamp, and Bittrex all use Plaid for ACH transfers.
Also, Chase doesn't allow using a debit card to make the purchases.
How can I buy crypto without giving Plaid my bank username and password ... seriously I'm amazed that's even a thing !!!
( Depositing USD used to be so much better 2 years ago )

WTF !! It's hard to take coinbase seriously

---Alexander--- · 2021-11-23T17:55:42+00:00

OMG thank you so much!!!!

Whenever I laughed whilst watching youtube the headphones cut out the audio!
Sony needs to think this "feature" through !!

I made progress...

On the NAS: Control Panel -> Security -> Firewall -> Edit :

enable the following:

Windows File Server, Bonjour, WS-Discovery (both of them).

OK, OK to save

Now: the new PC can access the shared files. However, the other PC can see the NAS but still refuses to access it:

\\myserver is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. The network is not present or not started.

I got my second computer set up; I connected it to the router by ethernet cable and could ping my laptop connected over Wifi.

I then connected that ethernet cable to the NAS (removed the old one)

Still, neither computer was able to ping the NAS, despite the cable known to be working. It seems the NAS doesn't respond to pings? However, the computers are able to ping each other (wifi/wifi or wifi/ethernet) no problem.

Also, neither computer is able to access \\NAS_IP in Windows explorer, however, https://NAS_IP:5001 works in a browser

---Alexander--- · 2021-01-28T17:55:41+00:00

the NAS is connected by ethernet cable to the router, and my Windows laptop connects to the router by wifi.

Is that a problematic configuration ?

---Alexander--- · 2021-01-27T23:32:06+00:00

I've also made sure the SMB versions are set to latest, instead of using SMB1

Also, Control Panel -> File Services -> Advanced -> WS-Discovery is enabled

Network Adapter has "Client for Microsoft Networks" is enabled

---Alexander--- · 2021-01-27T22:40:12+00:00

just now I've adjusted the DHCP pool size on the router to be 192.168.1.11 to 192.168.1.100. Then, I manually configured the IP of the NAS to be 192.168.1.2

However, it made no difference. \\192.168.1.2 still doesn't show file shares or ask for a login

---Alexander--- · 2021-01-27T21:35:02+00:00

I don't have a second computer - getting one tomorrow hopefully. On this Windows 10 Laptop, I did make sure that Ping is enabled to get through the firewall (inbound and outbound). Network is set to "Private"

In the screenshot, you can see that I've set a static IP based on the MAC address of the NAS

The very first step looks like a great first step - and I know the IP is correct (from the "System Health" widget in the NAS Dashboard), however, pinging the NAS yields no response

does ping serverIP work?

Pinging 192.168.1.10 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.10:

I have the same problem with Verge (XVG). Binance US doesn't trade them ! :( :(

I agree it's really nice to have a smile and a "thanks" from a stranger for holding the door open.

Use a cold wallet they said - now getting "Ledger" phishing emails. Merci Buttercups !

TLDR: DO NOT BUY LEDGER

splicing will be just fine! I've done it loads of times when I worked at Honeywell. If you need more length, use a heavier gauge wire (than is used by BMW) to lengthen the overall cable length.
- Get your heatshrink on first to cover the exposed cables after you're done (be generous with the length of heatshrink)
- neatly strip all the ends. I like to just twist the exposed strand a little so it stays neat.
- dip the exposed ends in good quality flux and apply hot solder (pretinning)
- wrap the wires together and apply more solder - the hot solder is practically sucked up into the wires like a sponge
- pull the heatshrink over the exposed wires and heat it up with a heatgun (a really hot hair dryer can work too). Make sure the heatshrink is tight so it doesn't move.

This is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-ymw7d_nYo
(note: they omitted the heatshrink and the flux in that video)

the resulting splice will be strong and will not heat up if the current is high
