Samsung pulls One UI 8 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 as users report issues
A few days after One UI 8 Watch was released for the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 users worldwide, they began noticing problems with the watch that were rather serious. Those problems affect normal operation of the watch, and are severe enough that Samsung has started pulling the Galaxy Watch4 and the Watch5 update, starting from the Korean servers, as confirmed by this thread. Earlier, the update was identified as JYK4, which suggests that it was built on November.
An Indian user who updated their Galaxy Watch4 have reported issues with their smartwatch on Samsung Members after they’ve updated their watch to the One UI 8 Watch software, impairing the normal operation of the watch. More specifically, the sensors on the Galaxy Watch4 have begun malfunctioning after the update, such as the wrist detection sensor, which is crucial for any smartwatch. Alongside that, the BIA sensor and the ECG sensor were also not working properly, telling the user that their placement was incorrect. What makes it worse was that even after the reset, the watch still malfunctioned.
To make matters worse, some users reported that they’re not getting the One UI 8 Watch update on their Galaxy Watch4 smartwatches, despite being eligible for the update, and the LTE version users are still waiting for the update in countries like India, USA, and Korea.
Until Samsung pushes the revised version of the Galaxy Watch4 and the Watch5 update, if you haven’t updated your smartwatch, it’s recommended that you hold the update until a newer version is released. You can identify this newer version with either the JYL? build or the JZA? build.
