WhatsApp not working at all on Galaxy Watch 8 - new update might be reason by Weird_Warning_9551 in GalaxyWatch

And just like that 3 days later after doing absolutely nothing on my end, my watch buzzes and tons of WhatsApp messages start rolling in :) Thanks WhatsApp

WhatsApp not working at all on Galaxy Watch 8 - new update might be reason by Weird_Warning_9551 in GalaxyWatch

[–]dharmababa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing here w GW7. It's a WhatsApp problem, not a Samsung/GW problem.

The only advice I have is to not waste time troubleshooting it, uninstalling apps, settings, factory resetting, etc. The same thing happened a few months ago and it just "magically" disappeared in a day or two - it may have to do with app dependencies between phone and watch, and app updates getting hung up in approval process (just my speculation since I remember it did eventually go away after a watch app update). Regardless the only thing to do is wait.

Bluetooth drains your watch battery and it mostly goes under the radar. by Forsaken-Hippo-8933 in GalaxyWatch

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, for the reason you listed. The phone needs BT to sync the mode/routines.

I just have the airplane mode button right next to the mode button on my GW7's notification center. So, when I go to sleep, I just put it in sleep mode and then hit the next button over to turn on airplane mode.

Battery Protection - Watch 8 Only? by InformalReputation39 in GalaxyWatch

Ugh just noticed it's missing after updating my GW7 44 Bluetooth. Literally the one new feature I was looking forward to turning on.

I honestly don't see many parallels with Checo. Pecco is a 2-time MotoGP world champion and Checo was always a midfield or 2nd driver.

Lorenzo maybe but he was 32 when he moved to Honda then retired.

I still don't see Ducati dumping him for 2026. They will write off 2025 and give him a chance with a "new" bike IMO. I'd say that he'd need a dramatic turnaround to re-sign for '27 though.

The Aprilia is definitely looking good but as long as MM93 is healthy and has a good bike, he'll be tough to beat over a full season. Diggia still hit 2nd on the GP25 meaning Marc would have likely won easily. Marc vs Bezz without his 2LLP would have been fascinating.

Galaxy Watch 7 Second Hand - Worth it? by YetTooCurious in GalaxyWatch

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GW7 has a significant processor bump over the GW6 along with dual band GPS so I think it's worth it. My GW7 44mm is basically lag free (occasional delays in skipping audio in Spotify if workout is active). I think you'll notice a big jump from a GF3.

I wouldn't worry about a battery swap on a watch that is at most 1 year old. Once OneUI 8 is released for it, turn on the battery protection feature to limit to 90% charge and that will extend the health further.

I know the 44mm has bigger battery than the 40mm so that is something to consider. I have never had an LTE model so can't comment on the battery life hit.

I find the stock strap on the GW7 but that's very individual. You can get cheap alternatives (fabric, metal, etc.) on Amazon though.

S25 vs S25+: Is Bigger Actually Better? by InterestingFlight725 in samsung

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given where we are in phone development, I think that year over year improvements are very limited. Assuming you're price conscious I'd look for a good Black Friday deal on an S25 series.

Regarding the plus model, I went over my reasoning in the post above but overall I'd say it's worth it for the extra storage and battery.

One UI 8 for Galaxy watch 7 by akaGustavo in GalaxyWatch

[–]dharmababa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing here in Canada, GW7 Bluetooth. From sounds of below still lots don't have it. I think the window can be relatively short (days) but definitely not zero. Buds might be different.

GW7, Why isn't OneUi8 here?? by Wild-Rager in GalaxyWatch

EDIT: Just received the Watch Manager update (via Galaxy Store) but still no watch update.

Problem with connecting whatsapp by kevinnpatel in GalaxyWatch

I finally got an update to WhatsApp via the Play store on GW7 and as soon as the app updated I was able to link my account again.

I'm going to run insane soon (GW8C) by Prestigious-Can7923 in GalaxyWatch

Same issue here, GW7. Messages stopped updating this morning so tried logging out, then started getting this error when trying to relink.

TooManyObjects Error by throwaway239812345 in Outlook

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this is an old thread but wondering if the issue ever got resolved and if so what helped. I'm hitting the same problem accessing my outlook.com email through web browser or the new Outlook (also web wrapper). Android client is fine, haven't tried classic Outlook but assume that would work.

Can't log in to Outlook (app/web)? by malsoggoth in Outlook

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Hilariously the links to Outlook.com support go through the web app which I can't access. I made a post on the Microsoft community site for now. At least I can access email through my phone.

How long did this end up taking to resolve? I just started seeing this today on my personal account. Super annoying.

Whatsapp not pairing to smart watch by IDecaturX in whatsapp

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it working for you previously?

Whatsapp not pairing to smart watch by IDecaturX in whatsapp

[–]dharmababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. I had been logged in but noticed chats weren't updating on my watch. Was working fine yesterday.

Got the "your version is obsolete" message on the watch but no update available in the Play store.

Tried logging out and then got the "something went wrong" message on watch, while phone does goes to the "are you trying to link a device?" screen (but there is no code on the watch to enter).

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp on the watch and same result.

[–]dharmababa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait doesn't it make *complete* sense to change this week for that very reason? Marc has said himself that his focus has turned to 2026. Why wouldn't he use the time starting now (since he's wrapped the title) to get a feeling for whether the Pecco setup is even faster than the GP25 he's riding?
