Galaxy Watch 5 Failed Pair to Redmi Phone Solution Fix!

The Issue:

  • Common error messages include “Plugin not installed,” along with app crashes.

Possible Explanation:

  • Compatibility issues between software versions and plugins are likely causing the problem.

Potential Solution:

  • Install the necessary apps: Make sure you have both the Galaxy Wearable app and the Galaxy Watch 5 plugin installed on your Redmi phone.

  • Switch to Galaxy Wearable: While Wear OS is in the background, open the Galaxy Wearable app and initiate the pairing process again. This method has reportedly worked for some users.

Additional Tips:

  • Restart Devices: A simple restart of both your phone and watch can sometimes resolve pairing issues.
  • Test with Other Devices: If possible, try pairing your watch with a different device to isolate the problem.
  • Keep Apps Updated: Ensure you have the latest versions of the Galaxy Wearable app, Galaxy Watch 5 plugin, and Wear OS app installed.
