So as of a few days ago, I ran into the somewhat common issue where I can't copy over my accounts, but the twist was: none of the methods I previously tried that worked actually succeeded. I've tried the method requiring clearing the app data of the Google app, Google Play Services and Wear OS then rebooting and setting the watch up again, and I've tried turning wifi off on both my phone (A OnePlus 5) and the watch. I'm at a loss as those are the only 2 methods I've found.
I should mention that this only started happening with the latest (9/28) Wear OS app update. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's getting a tad frustrating.
This thread actually serves two purposes: to get possible solutions, and to see whether this is an issue of PEBCAK (Problem exists between chair and keyboard)

Hi everyone,
Since today I have the issue that randomly my internet browser opens automatically and randomly some website, it happened 2-3 times in the past hour and everytime it is a different one. I need also to mention that the last time my phone was locked and after I unlocked it the browse was allready open...
I die not install any new apps in the past days but it seems like I have some kind of malware on my phone. I tried already to scan my phone with Avast antivirus but it found nothing. Does anyone has similar experience and how I can try to track and fix this issue without having to factory reset my phone?
I've had this happen to me as well. Not to the extent that you're experiencing, and mine seemingly fixed itself. Try a reboot and check app permissions on all your apps to see if any of them seem fishy.
Save your bookmarks clear data/cache and reboot
Hi, I have a Galaxy S10+ on Verizon in the USA.
Having a few major problems that I just can't figure out:
1. When I try to download apps from the Play store, the download gets to 99 or 100% but never completes the installation. The fix is to go into settings/apps/show system apps/download manager and "force stop." Then the installation will complete.
2. Some apps don't work correctly. For example the CBS Radio News app starts streaming audio, then stops a few seconds later. And the ParKing app sometimes records my location upon disconnection from my car's bluetooth, and sometimes it doesn't.
3. Notifications from all apps are totally unreliable. Sometimes they'll come right away. Sometimes not for hours, and sometimes all at once. And sometimes when tapping on a notification it will bring you into the app. while sometimes it will do nothing.
WHAT I TRIED:
Tried rebooting, clearing data and cache on problem apps.
Cleared data and cache on "Google", Google Play Store and google play services.
Cleared phone's cache partition.
Uninstalled and reinstalled broken apps.
I THOUGHT I FOUND THE SOLUTION:
All these problems went away a month or so ago when I logged out of my google account on the phone. Iogged back in and it all worked great! I thought the problem was solved, but now it's all happening again. Logged of the the google account and back in, but it's still broken this time.
AND:
I had similar problems with my Galaxy S7, and thought the new phone would fix these problems! Is it possible there's something wrong with my google account? How could I have the same problems on both phones?
I haven't yet tried a factory reboot on the S10+, but I did do it on the S7, and after working for a while, the problems came back.
Additional info:
Mobile data and wifi have strong signals.
No custom ROMs, not rooted or anything, just stock the way it came. Only downloaded apps from Play Store. Nothing sideloaded.
All battery optimization is turned off. Power mode set to "high performance."
I've looked everywhere for a solution and have come here to the ultimate experts. You're my last hope!
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Good day.
I have the Mate 30 pro (international version) since yesterday. I installed Google completely using the backup method and took over the rest of the Mate 20 pro via phone clone.
Everything works without problems, except for Wear OS.
The connection to the LG Watch Urban 2 is established immediately, notifications work but no Google account is transferred. I tried all methods that I found on the net. Both devices are also reset to the factory settings several times.
No chance to transfer the Google account, it always terminates with an error message.
Is there another way to do this? Maybe by sideload?
I thank you in advance for any suggestions and ideas.
Kind regards
Update ... problem solved
I don't know what exactly helped.
Had a newer version of Google Play Services downloaded to the phone via Aptoid. With this version, the Mate 30 was suddenly no longer certified and, for whatever reason, the phone became extremely hot. So I uninstalled it again and reinstalled the Play Services from EMUI Googlepack, reinstalled Wear OS and at "Transfer account" I had to enter my password for the first time. Then suddenly everything worked.

I was having the same issue with my Ticwatch Pro and only got it sorted about 10 mins ago. I reset my watch, then removed Wear OS app, then cleared the data in Google app and rebooted. I don't know if this made a difference, but this time I left the watch on the charging cradle and went through setup, and it worked first time.
Hello,
I have the huawei p40 pro with the GMS installed and I have the same problem as you.
I have the ticwatch pro and the problem I have is that it gives me a connection error when I want to copy the google account to the smartwatch.
Any other solution?
Thanks in advanced!!
I am not sure if this is an Android or Galaxy issue so please redirect me if necessary.
I have a new S10 plus which has worked perfectly well since the beginning of January until a couple of weeks ago. It has the latest firmware. Suddenly, updates have stopped happening either automatically or manually. I notice that there are umpteen reports of this in many forums going back a couple of years and there is a wealth of advice as to how to fix it. I have tried them all many times (Play store cache, Play Services cache, rebooting, closing recent apps etc.) to the point where I gave up trying to find a solution and wiped the phone. It took a long while to restore some 200 apps but all came back and the first lot of updates updated correctly. However, a day or so later, the problem returned with apps only partially downloading or getting to 100% then not installing.
There was one "fix" I hadn't tried as I came upon it late on. I started the phone in safe mode. As soon as I did, the update whizzed through. However, after a normal restart, the problem was back. So I have a messy solution that I can apply when the list builds up but this is far from satisfactory.
This is where my ability and knowledge comes to an end. I am presuming that one of the apps that doesn't load in safe mode is causing the problem.....or is it? Could this be a system app? What can I do next? Is there an error log that could pin-point the cause of the problem?
Many thanks.

I noticed this issue as well. I use Aptoide to get updates faster and updating either Play Services/Store got mine to start working again
I have play store issues too.
One issue is i have to clear cache and force stop Playstore and services to get a list of updates to show up. I keep hitting check for updates and nothing, but when i do the above i get some updates appear straight away
Another issue is my list of beta apps dissapears every night at 9pm and magically reappears next morning at 9am. This also makes the security updates for play services in biometrics security settings dissapear at the same time. After months of arguing with Google and them blaming Samsung, telling me im running beta firmware (which i never installed beta, i went straight to Android 10 Stable) doing a complete factory reset and clean install, the problems still prevailed, then i found an old nexus 10tablet and installed my google account. When the beta apps ect dissapears from my S10plus it also simultaneously dissapears from the nexus 10.
The nexus 10 only has Android 6, has a different version of playstore and services. Yet Google Still insist its because my S10plus is only on beta firmware, even though i sent them about phone screenshots.
Its pretty obvious that this is some kind of syncing issue with Google servers and playstore services
But they refused to take ownership of the issues.
I had a Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro and reset it when I changed my phone. Since that, my google account wouldn't copy to it. Mobvoi reckoned it was a hardware fault and replaced it with a Ticwatch Pro 2020. It arrived yesterday and the same thing is happening with it. I've tried resetting the watch multiple times, clearing the wear os app data, removing and reinstalling wear os, clearing the data in the Google, Google Services, and other Google apps. And I've tried with a P20 Pro, Redmi 7 Pro, Huawei mediapad M5 10.8, even an LG G4. And I reset both the P20 Pro and G4 to factory settings. None of hem worked.
I'm convinced its Wear OS which is to blame. Even when I freshly installed Wear OS on the reset phones, it still sent my wifi settings and password to the watch when connected by bluetooth and wifi turned off. I don't know any other way it could do that, other than to retrieve saved details from google. Which may be the problem? Unfortunately I have no way to stop that happening, or to delete that information.
I doubt this is an isolated issue and has happened to many other Wear OS users. I just need a few more things to try before I write the whole thing off and return the watch for a refund.
does the same issue on mine, i opened a bug to google and they are still investigating after months
