Why Does the App Say Samsung Accessory Service Transferring File Please Wait?
The “Transferring file, please wait” notification became an issue after a new update; it is common to see it on Galaxy devices: S7, S8, S9, etc. Keep in mind that occasionally seeing this notification is not an issue; as mentioned before, the app sends/receives data, and some people have reported getting this notification right after they end a phone call; if your watch is connected with the device, the app registers the call history on it.
Re-install the Galaxy Wearable app; it should re-install the plugin and the accessory service app automatically, this will install the files correctly, and hopefully, you will stop seeing the transferring file notification.
If the method mentioned above does not work, try force-stopping the app and clear the cache.
Settings > Apps > Samsung Accessory Service > Force stop.
You can also try unpairing the watch, then re-pair the watch and restart your phone.
Samsung Accessory Service Draining Battery
After the update, hundreds of users have complained about the battery draining issue, and most of them are One Plus users. To fix the battery draining issue, deactivate the battery optimization on all the Galaxy Wear apps & plugins. Battery optimization is found to be closing and rebooting the apps, which drains all the battery. If the app suggests you not deactivate battery optimization because it will affect the battery performance, ignore it because keeping it activated will drain the battery more.
