Hi,

After I've reset my Gear S3 I've noticed that my paid watch faces are gone. Is there any way to restore them?
Thank you.

You could try this:

On your phone, open galaxy apps, click top right and choose settings. Then choose receipt. It will show you all the paid apps and watchfaces you have purchased.

I'm not sure if you can install them again from there. But at least you have proof of purchase if you need to get in touch with the seller of the apps and watchfaces.

Instead of settings, you have to go into My Apps, and you'll see all the watch faces that you have bought. And yes you can install them again.

On your phone, open Galaxy Apps icon, click top right and choose My apps. Then choose All. Choose Gear column. It will show you all the paid apps and watch faces you have purchased & allow you to reinstall any of them.

Go to the Gear App on your phone and choose Apps from the menu. Then choose the three dots in the upper right hand corner and then choose Download History. All of your purchased apps will be listed for you to restore.

Gear app > Gear > 3 dots at top > My apps > All > Select what you want downloaded. I, too, am using a Note8.

samsung account

I've had some of this with every Gear watch. As long as you are logged into your Samsung account you won't have to pay again. You just need to know the app you want which I always do. Once I click on it, the price goes away and it is clear I am not being charged.
When you are charged you get messages like "are you sure you want to buy?" You then get confirmation emails on the purchase. You also have a testing time period to request a refund.

Restoring apps & watch faces

In Galaxy Gear, tap Settings tab, select Apps, tap the 3 vertical dots on top right corner, select Download history, select the Gear tab, all previously purchased apps and watch faces will be listed, select the down arrow to the right of the item to reinstall on your Gear watch.

Of course we already did that but our purchased items not show,so we complain.

Change your sim card

Have you try changing the sim card to other country rather than using the local sim that you have been using right now. after that you can open the galaxy apps and update the application, sort of like that. Hope this help.

I had the same issues for the last week with my Huawei mate 10.
I contacted Samsung support many times and they kept saying the same thing about checking the galaxy app, which as was said before, its the first thing we do. I then posted my problem on Samsung community site and was told to try to contact Samsung pay in your own country.
Although they said they couldn't help as I used PayPal they did said others are having similar issues with the latest update.
I then went to reply on the Samsung community site but for some reason my password was not recognised so I had to reset it. After that I sent the reply and of course I had to log in again with my new password in gear manager, now all my paid apps and watch faces are back.
They must have done something!

All sorted now though.
