Samsung Accessory Service Transferring file please wait

[Mantas89]

Hi,

I have Samsung S8+ and Gear S3 Frontier.  I have an issue when I have a working connection between these my items:

After a new android update on mine S8+ I started to get a notification which I cannot turn off. And I do not know what it is trying to do. The notification is not a big deal, but I notice that what my phone and watch discharges very fast. Before my watch takes around 3days, now just a 12h...

Hello, Try going into your settings > apps > samsung accessory service > force stop > storage > clear cache. See if that makes the notification disappear.

I tried this. Also tried to uninstall and when I opened Samsung Gear app it were downloaded again with the same issue.

Are you trying to connect any other accessories other than your watch to your device at the same time?

[Mantas89]

No, just Samsung Gear S3. When I turn off bluetooth on my watch, I do not see this message.

I have the same issue with an att galaxy s7 edge and Gear S2.   It started last week when I updated and drains both the watch and phone battery.  The watch get very hot and drains within 60 minutes.   Once I disconnect the wtach from phone, the battery drain stops and the Gear S2 cools down.

Are you using the galaxy wearable app on your device? Is this the app you installed on your device: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory&hl=en_US

It looks like this app, but for me it were installed automatically when I installed Samsung Gear and connected to my watch. Now when I'm opening this link ot is showing that this app is not compatible with my device.
