For some reason it says "Apps can't be installed from external sources" so does that mean it can't work?

[@o.p.249]

I did it and works perfect 👍🏻 thanx dude, I use many Google Play apps on my watch, especially WhatsApp 😉👏🏻👍🏻

[@mattwalls7381]

How? Harmony OS4 upgrade doesn't allow. Did you find a work around?

[@kessaras]

we are not allowed to install apps over adb on the huawei watch gt4 which is similar to this one.... how exactly are all doing it ?

Great video. Can i ask please if the Stay Fit app for calorie deficit tracking already installed on the 4 Pro? Thanks!

[@familycreate]

Thank you so much. There is no Stay Fit app for calorie deficit tracking however as far as I can recall, the built-in health tracking app did allow tracking of calories but as I no longer have the watch unfortunately I'm not able to check for you again. All the best :)

TRIED TO ADD THE APPS FROM GOOGLE PLAY BUT ON THE VIDEO 5:47 FROM THEN ONWARDS IT DOESN’T WORK . Is it because I download the two apps on a Google pixel eight pro or Samsung A5 2S 5G? Do you think it’s the phone that matters?

Hello ,finally Curve app works for NFC paying in Europe ? Did you put IMEI of mobile phone or of watch ?

[@familycreate]

Hi there, I sideloaded the Curve APK. Unfortunately, it just didn't work, and it kept crushing at mid-point. I believe the Curve sideloading part may be towards the last section of the video.

Thank you 😉

At 9:46 you can't connect, but just after you connect without error. What did you changed? I have your same first error (HWGLL:/: inaccesible or not found) but in the video you didnt tell what did you correct

[@familycreate]

Although it came up with that error on this app, I changed nothing and continued on the second app, which connected just as I showed on the video. The process still worked. Just make sure the devices are connected to the same WiFi network. All the best.

Hey man. Any way to do this on Huawei watch GT4? Dont get any of the options in developer options except for retail mode

[@familycreate]

Hi there, Sorry, unfortunately, the watch has to have WiFi access in order for this sideloading app to work, but I believe the GT4 doesn't have WiFi.

[@TurahBagus]

Ahkk shittt better i buy gt4 pro. But i'll ready buy gt4. Damn😅

[@francescoanacreonte4207]

I live in the UK can someone confirm if sideloading is still possible as I read an update has gone out that stops sideloading...I am looking at getting the huawei ultimate need to someone to try and report back many thanks..

[@familycreate]

Hi there, Unfortunately, I no longer have the watch to test. However, there have been recent comments in this video from viewers who have mentioned that they have successfully sideload recently. Perhaps if you leave a comment in one of these comments, you may get a helpful response back. All the best.

[@iDonzzy]

does this apply on non pro GT 4?

[@o.p.249]

I know that the GT series does not support it, it is a process that is only compatible with Huawei Watch 3 and 4

[@o.p.249]

You cant do this with GT 🙄

Thanks for sharing. It would be better if we could understand exactly how it is done.

Hi there, that video was a step by step guide to sideloading apps. Is there anything specific that we didn't cover or anything in particular you would like us to clarify?

[@fakemobil]

@@familycreate Thank you for your question and interest, but I want to install WhatsApp on my watch, but it does not work even though I did your suggestions. I think there is a missing piece of information somewhere. I tried with the begjaeger program and failed. Can you help with this. thanks.

[@fakemobil]

I want to learn one more thing. I would be glad if you answer . When I use the watch with a GSM operator, can we share the mobile data on my line with a print device? My watch is huawei watch 4 pro.

[@familycreate]

Have you managed to install any app yet on the watch at all?

[@familycreate]

Unfortunately, it's not possible to share anything on the printer.

[@davidjimenez4528]

Thank you for your video. Can I download the youtube play music app? And maybe predownload music so i can use it without internet?

[@familycreate]

It can be downloaded if you can find an APK, but it won't work as it requires Google Play Services. To answer your second question, you can download music and play with the built-in player offline without the Internet. I hope that helps :)

Tried to install whatsapp on the huawei watch 4 pro space edition....it said successful but i cant find the icon on the app list. Could you just explain what to do after installing whatsapp Thank you

[@familycreate]

Perhaps try again as there are no other steps once installation is successful, the icon automatically shows on the app list even for apps that don't work. Also, if you haven't already, try restarting your watch and see if that makes any difference. All the best : )

[@coolnicedude2209]

How did you enable wifi and what if you dont have wifi network fuction

[@familycreate]

If your watch doesn't have WiFi connection, unfortunately, it won't work as you need to connect both devices to the same WiFi network for sideloading to work.
