I have watch 4 classic LTE. When I try to add cell plan to it, it says there are none? How can I fix this?
Are you in Canada? If so, you need a monthly data plan from your service provider. I got my LTE smartwatch in April and found the following information: Only Bell offers a $10.00/month data plan for Samsung smartwatches. I was told to visit a Bell store and they may be able to offer me a standalone smartwatch data plan. I haven't bothered so I don't know if it is a different cell number for the watch or share my number with current provider. Maybe forward calls from phone to watch? I also read somewhere in order to get data for the watch you have to have bought the watch at Bell and using Bell as your service provider. I also bought the GW4 LTE. I'm with Freedom and told no data plan for Samsung watches with them, only Apple watches. It was suggested I switch providers. Nope. I only pay 28 a month with Freedom. I don't need LTE on the watch that bad to pay over 60 a month phone data plus the watch data! I knew ahead of time my service provider does not offer a watch data plan but I got the LTE anyway (only $70.00 more than the non LTE) hoping it soon it will become available. So far NOPE!

Thanks. Usually with LTE watches, you get the option in add cellular plan. It doesn't matter if I use Canada or USA SIM in my phone, I get no provider list? My understanding was there were no Galaxy watch 4 series sold in Canada with LTE, only bluetooth.
I have contacted many different cellphone providers in Canada over the last couple of months. Same info from all stating you need a separate data plan for the watch. Same info found on Reddit and on Samsung Members. The LTE version is sold in Canada. I bought mine online through the Samsung Cananda website and they are also sold at retail stores (BestBuy, The Source). I just contacted Freedom Mobile again and was told there are no data plans for GW4 LTE available yet. Only Bell offers one.

59Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are good,
So I see some on you wondering about how to uninstall, reinstall, install, pull, enable and disable apps for the watch, so I decided to make this thread to address these different scenarios, this is based on test of users, if there is any incorrect command, let me know and I will update the thread...
Requirements: ADB (to execute adb commands)...
~~~ Enabling Watch4 ADB ~~~
The first thing you need to do is enable the watch developer mode by going into watch settings then about and tap the version many times till it says switched on, inside developer mode enable ADB, it will enable ADB Wi-Fi, if it doesn't, enable then go to Wi-Fi and make sure that Wi-Fi is connected to the same network of the PC, head back to developer mode and you will see under ADB Wi-Fi IP address...
~~~ Running ADB & Connecting to the Watch4 ~~~
Watch is ready for some ADB action and adventure lol, on pc start PowerShell or CMD inside ADB folder by holding down SHIFT and right clicking on empty area:
or if you have cmd-here.exe, run it...
type the following:
adb connect <IP>
(if it's your first time, check your watch for RSA authentication and allow the PC to connect)
Now here is the list of scenarios...
~~~ Scenario 1: Installing Apps ~~~Place the apk in adb folder then type:
adb -s <IP> install <apk-name>.apk
once you are done disconnect:
adb disconnect
~~~ Scenario 2: Uninstalling System Apps ~~~Be very careful, don't uninstall vital system apps, uninstall apps that you see on the watch home screen drawer or watch widgets...
Enter Shell mode typing:
adb shell
then type:
pm list packages
Find the packages you want to remove then type for each package
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package-name-to-uninstall>
once you are done exit and disconnect:
exit
adb disconnect
~~~ Scenario 3: Disabling/Enabling System Apps ~~~Enter Shell mode typing:
adb shell
then type:
pm list packages
Find the packages you want to:
- Disable then type for each package
- Enable then type for each package
once you are done exit and disconnect:
exit
adb disconnect
~~~ Scenario 4: Reinstalling/Restoring System Apps ~~~Enter Shell mode typing:
adb shell
Find the package you want to restore (thanks to @adfree)
type to restore
pm install-existing <package-name-to-reinstall>
once you are done exit and disconnect:
exit
adb disconnect
~~~ Scenario 5: Pulling Apps ~~~Enter Shell mode typing:
adb shell
then type
pm list packages
Find the package of interest then type
pm path <package-name>
this returns the path of the apk package location, exit shell
exit
now pull it typing:
adb pull <path-to-apk-package> <package-name>.apk
you have pulled the apk into the adb folder...
~~~ End of Scenarios ~~~I have one thing to say, sorry for the caps in advance, but I got to do it
TURN OFF ADB ON WATCHotherwise it will drain your watch battery...
~~~ Don't forget to ~~~
Don't forget to smash the

Here's a dump of every APK on my GW4, even the non-system apps(why not?).
Keep in mind, some of the apps are now split-apks. I've made those apps individual folders, and you'll need tocdinto them and then useadb install-multiple base.apk split1.apk split2.apketc, in order to install those apps. (I hope somebody ports SAI to Wear OS soon....)3
When I get my watch and see that I have it, I will pull and upload it for you...
No question is dumb and yes you can use the guide as a reference, just keep in mind that packages of phone are different than the watch, also, on the phone you can disable system apps but you can't uninstall them like the watch (as far as I know) and finally, no need to do adb install on the phone because it's a direct install...
Unless when you said use it on the phone as in execute adb commands on the phone for the watch, yes it will work too...
