ECG Outside US? Need Directions?

I received my Galaxy watch three yesterday here in Canada. I know officially the new features such as ECG are not available here. I'm doubtful they will be anytime soon. How can I somehow get these features outside of the US on my device? I'm pretty sure it's possible but I'm not sure where to start and look for proper watch three instructions that won't mess up my device. Thank you.

Thanks adfree.
Both BP and ECG require a samsung phone right?
Does VO2Max as well?
Any tips on changing the region for GW3 or has that not been figured out yet?

There's some discussion on the subject here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/samsung-galaxy-watch-3/features-available-t4144413

I still can't figure out the proper procedure for the Watch 3. ?

I was using online chat to Samsung support yesterday in the UK and he told me that the ECG and blood pressure monitor would be working when I receive the watch next Friday.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a copy of the message transcript although I guess I could ask for it.
Does anyone know if this is true?

@gsw5700
Sure...

If your order is from South Korea... and you get SM-R845N or SM-R840 with KOO CSC...

The SM-R840 model? Did you do this as soon as you received it or did you update everything on the watch first?
Does Samsung pay still and all the other apps work fine?
Changing CSC to KOO doesn't enable the missing features?

Yes it's the R840 model, Tizen 5.5.0.1, build BTG6.
I don't use Samsung Pay, but everything I use seems to work fine

I installed the BP and ECG option using the "without a PC" option. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
One question: will there be app updates available for the patched versions?

WIthout PC option worked perfectly on US BTE model.

Without PC method validated for France model, thanks ! Works great.
In addition, is there any method to get SPO2 ? Like through a VPN or something ? Thks

Do bp or ECG require a Samsung phone?

Does sideloading the app create problems when the official update is released?

I know the contacts do not sync for us pixel 4 XL owners, but Samsung store person told me that other features need Samsung phone. Hope someone can confirm.

I followed the video and the new SHM app appeared on my watch for a second but when I clicked it, it just closed and then disappeared.
Now, whenever I try to install the "Retailmode" app, I get the message on my phone that the APK was installed, I see the samsung accessory service transferring it to my phone but the the wear app pops up a toast saying "failed to install the app".
I checked under my wear app's list of installed app and it's not there (should it appear there)? Any idea what's going on? This is a US model GW3.

blood oxygen in canada

Hello everyone,
since I updated my watch. blood oxygen feature got removed. is there anyway i can get it back ?
Thanks

Interesting. I've not gotten the update yet, and I'm wondering if it's because I haven't activated LTE with my carrier.
Anyway, did you try uninstalling SHM and re-installing the modded one provided in this forum? I'm thinking maybe the update pushed a different app to your phone.
So, along those lines, probably should disable auto-update of the Samsung Health apps in the Google Play store.

well I didn't see but I saw the update came few days ago which indicate blood oxygen will be removed in canada. my watch is galaxy 3 Bluetooth model.

Has anyone figured out a way to enable this on the Watch3 Canada? I see the widget from the wearable app however when I add the widget nothing happens on the watch.

IMHO the question is... who control this feature?
Samsung Health Android on Phone... APK?
or
Samsung Health on Watch... TPK?
Or both?
No idea, maybe somebody have time to check this modified APK...

Modified APK does not add the blood oxygen, so I would then assume the answer is either TPK or both

I heard this works but not tried it myself:

As you mentioned you installed these, do you think you will get future updates? i think you should as you did not change CSC.

Were you able to make the ECG and Blood pressure on your SW3 bought in Canada? If yes, are you using a Samsung Phone? Because this doesn't work for me unfortunately Maybe because I'm using a non Samsung phone. Kinda bummer..

Installing the modified app I'm able to get into the developer mode and in developer mode I can select the region. Changing the region of the app to US, I'm able to get blood oxygen and stress to come up in the app on the phone, but they do not come up on the watch.

I think I had the same issue. Had to update Samsung Health on the phone (not Samsung Health Monitor, which is the app for BPM and ECG).

Well I finally got the S Health App update for my watch and it's there now.

Maybe it is like in FR, Spo2 is not available yet. According to samsung it is because they're not authorized yet. But might be just because their sensors and systems are flawed or just suck.
Apple and Withings had this validated in no time...

Do you know if there is an unlocked version of s health that would allow me to use the sp02 widget? i changed my CSC from canada to USA and then to KOO to get the new update, BP and ECG work fine and i can see the widget in the wearable app but it wont let me save it to the watch and it doesnt appear in s health, i have a SM-R820 on tizen 5.5.0.1 R820XXU1CTH8 paired with a Pixel 4xl. Do you think it could be because I'm in canada that its restricted?

Except the Chinese ROM

The only features that don't work on the watch 3 with a non Galaxy phone is ECG and Blood Pressure Monitoring, looking at the LONG list of T&C's on the watch 4 shop page it looks the same,
ECG and BP feature only to be used by 22 years+. For accurate BP readings, a calibration is required every 4 weeks by BP monitor & arm cuff. Requires a Galaxy smartphone running Android 7.0 or above.
I found this highly annoying BTW !!!

BP, ECG, saturation, BMI (and other related) won't work.

missing MIUI Optimization toggle is rather simple. All you got to do is head over to Developer options and tap on “Reset to default values” a few times. Following this, you should see MIUI Optimization reappear magically

Question Did your GW5 came with the Samsung Camera Controller App installed on it?

If you have a flagship samsung phone (S, Note, Z...), it did come installed on the watch. It was actually installed after the setup. It didn't install when pairing with my A52s, but when I flased NcX (S21 FE port) and set it up again, it installed the camera controller as well.

Interesting workaround. Very strange that Samsung would limit such a simple app to just their flagship phones. I did call Samsung tech support and gave them the model of my GW5 and Model of my A52 and the support guy did not say that the app was limited to only flagship devices and gave me an address of a service center to take the GW5 to in order for them to install the app. Since I won't be back in the USA until 2024 that wont be happening.

Well that is a strange as that is def a flagship phone you got there. You might want to try a chat session with Samsung and see if they can explain why it is not working.

Two reasons why the application is not installed or not available in the Store:
1. Only on flagship devices
2. Phone or watch of the region where it is not supported.
Samsung seems to have again divided the availability by region !!
I have it from the box, Phone EUX+ Watch BTU.

What is crazy is that the $40 Mi Band 7 has it.
