Samsung Galaxy Watch Faces and Updates

Hi, there. First my questions is about Galaxy Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces. Do you know anybody how to get these watch faces from Watch 3 to Active 2? Is any chance to get it with upcoming Tizen 5.5 software update for Active 2? For example (see added picture) i need this one, maybe someone know how to get it? I have Active 2 BT version with stock rom OS, and i will not prepare to flash other OS. I care my warranty which i have. I am talking about simple watch face file (can someone say exactly how named Tizen files .tnz or how???) installing to Active 2 if is any chance at all? I'm rookie about Tizen OS, so if someone can explain please write here. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Samsung Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces until now (i have Active 2 Tizen 4.0.0.7 OS) is not available in Samsung Store, but maybe who have Tizen 5.5 can download in Samsung Store? I checking it almost everyday or in a week several times. So about checking Samsung Store i know
Second question about Tizen OS update 5.5 for Active 2. I tried to check in youtube about this update for Active 2 (original, not fake update). But i found just one video. Which by the way is not so good as i thought (too less information about it, is showed just new some features, too short video). I know that this update is released nly for German users in Europe, but maybe someone can to tell or to do video what's changed after update in Active 2 (i mean not only features which already Samsung wrote in theirs web site, i don't need this information. I know about Vox2 while you running and etc., i mean is any others new stuff in Active 2 after update like new watch faces, ECG which was promised (some people writing is, some writing is not) and etc. All details is interesting). Thanks in advance again
Any comments about these things is welcome and the best write people which have Active 2 and got this update. Becouse rumors is full internet and i read it all them. So thanks, folks which will help me to know more

[Req]Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm guide

As the title said I have a galaxy watch 46mm. IT hasR800xxu1dsl1 software with 4.0.0.7 tizen.
Are there any guides on how to make galaxy pay work on this one?
Found some tutorials but don't really know what firmware I need to use, or how to use via netOdin, so I would appreciate a little guide on how to change the firmware, and what firmware to use on my watch to make it work with galaxy pay.
Thanks all!

From what I read I need only the csc file for usa to allow me install samsung pay, but can't find it anywhere...
Update: Switched firmware to R800xxu1dtg1 still samsung pay is not working

Updated to this

When installing samsung pay apk watch plugin

With this version is the same

Actually, it is not because of Samsung rather then your bank credit card issuer.
So, you CAN NOT use SamsungPay because your country (Romania if I am correct) is not on the Samsung billing list of supported countries.
There are only very limited countries supported by SamsungPay...Even if you change CSC code, it will not work because your credit cards issued in your country are not recognized inside app. I tried here in Croatia myself, changing multiple CSC codes, but no success ,therefore, we need to wait from Samsung and our Banks to add our countries on their credit card billing supporting list.
So far, actual full country list with supported SamsungPay countries until now is here
https://www.samsung.com/ch/samsung-pay/support_en/

I also went through all this process and ended up succesfuly. I also live in Croatia where SPay is not officially supported nor we have supported bank cards.
Since I'm using Curve card (UK card) I had to switch my watch to BTU (UK) CSC. I said "I had" because Curve has limited SPay only to UK region**. This was long time ago and I can't help much because process was quite complex and I don't want to mess somebody's watch. I managed to downgrade GW46 to tizen 4.0 and change CSC, and then update it to newer BTU firmware.
I saved links I used so here they are, hope they help:

Since I have changed CSC, I also got SPay option in Wear app (right next to Bixby option) so I could proceed with adding a card to my watch
** I think later Curve has enabled SPay for other regions where SPay is supported because I managed to add this UK card to my canadian Note 9 (XAC). Teoretically, you could use other CSCs on your watch in order to add Curve card - NOT tested, cannot confirm 100%!
You have to have CARD supported by SPay + CSC REGION where SPay is officialy supported. If any of these two parameters are missing, process will fail. No need for VPNs, location spoofing etc.

NFC get working on GT2 Pro

Any workaround for NFC working in EU?

We shall rise this question up. Since GT2, we did not get support of NFC outside of China region.

After I playing around the watch with several versions (current/old/beta) of China Huawei Health app, I believe it is a region and firmware lock on non-CN version GT2 Pro.
Basically, the app detect my GT2 Pro is saled in EU, so it provide the firmware update for EU model, even though the hardware inside all models should be the same (all have NFC chip).
The same issue comes with the 301 heart health app, which available for China model, and it allows the watch uses your heart rate data to diagnose premature atrial contraction and sleep apnea, which is a key feature advertised in China for these huawei smart bands and watches.
Again, you might guess, CN GT2 Pro model support this function. And my EU GT2 Pro was locked for this app to recognise.
Since Huawei EU offical state they will not support full NFC functions outside of China.
The only possible workaround is somebody with high skill, that able to flash Chinese firmware into EU model, which might unlock all these NFC cards, alipay, and heart health app functions. If that's still not working, then it will also required to trick the Huawei Health app to believe the EU model as a CN model.
I am not capable of doing these works, but people in this forum might be dig deeper into this topic.

Don't think that will be possible.. Don't understand huawei why they doin these restrictions..

It could be due to the restriction of certain regions, such as the functions of heart health app could be not approved by other country governments, as it is a feature related to human healthcare.
For example, it might require FDA approval to activate this function in USA, just like what Apple watch has done; likewise, the ECG function of apple watch is disabled in China model, because it did not gain the approval by the China government, but people still been allowed to flash US firmware to enable this feature on China model.
I don't have a EU huawei phone, so I am not sure how NFC of huawei phone is like. But I don't understand why NFC is not enabled in non-CN region, simply not make sense.

When you buy a product with its full function limited, Huawei just pissed off its customers, the fault of terrible closed ecosystem.

A small update on heart health app:
I have to install the huawei Health app first to connect my watch to my phone; then install the Heart Health app. Fot CN model, by that time, the second app will automatically connect to your phone-linked watch. But for my situion, what this app said to my watch is: the app does not support current version of this watch. So it is not connecting to my watch.
However, if I using a older beta version of Huawei health app, to connect to my watch; the Heart Health app can actually connected to my watch, but it is not able actually to perform the diagnose, showing error when activated.
So I suspect there are two major problems await resolve.
First, that is a software lock based on newer version of Huawei Health app, which refuse the EU watch to connect to Heart Health app.
Second, the firmware provided to EU model is missing the code for proper heart health function (and of course the rest functions like NFC). So must have Chinese firmware flushed into the watch. And surprisingly, it has multi. language support. What a strange decision.

I own a GT2 not pro, i don't know if anyone is still reading, bear with me if I say something stupid because I'm a complete amateur but I think this could be useful. I think the options are there but hidden. For example two weeks ago I purcheased a watchface i liked with dual timezone but I can't find the option in the menu to set it, some watchface are customizable and I came across another one orribile but that allowed me. I tried to set the timezone and it changed to the one I set on the other face as well. Today I found by chance one that had the alipay logo on it so I decided to experiment and purchased it (you can look it up on the store, it is called "little summer night"). The face doesn't allow you to customise the shortcuts but the alipay one seems to actually work, I don't speak Chinese and the English language in the alipay app is beta so the bare minimum is translated but it seems i was successful in pairing the watch.

Yes, indeed. After successfully access Alipay via certain watchface, now, the only missing part is nfc.

Install playstore on Galaxy Watch 4

Hi all
I am about to get the Galaxy Watch 4 in China (I work there now) and I think the Playstore won't be installed by default. I Googled and found that the apk for the Playstore for WearOS can be download. But I haven't found how to install it. It is my first WearOS since before I was using Tizen.
Can anyone help me and explain how to install the Playstore on WearOS please?

No idea what you exactly found... because I was not able to backup Playstore from GW4...
I have only found Samsung Apps inside GW4 Firmware...
I read about Restriction in China...
Maybe we could work together...
Maybe Samsung Apps offer better overview as Playstore...
Later more...
I have to sort my stuff...
Btw.
Can somebody from China with GW 4 post CSC and Firmware Details please?
I have no luck to find something with SM-R860 and CHC... maybe in China other Device Model Name...
All I know about Firmware and Regions yet is here:

Hey thanks for he share I found a topic about ADB

Hello, did you have any luck installing the play store? I'm having the same issue here, with the CHC version there are only a few apps can be downloaded from the galaxy store and it has very limited google services, many app's mobile to wear connection does not work. It would be great if full gms and play store can be installed, or maybe there are any method to flash global rom etc? Thanks!

hi. any update on this?

Hi, guys. Same issue: I get the play market installed on my CHC version of gw4, the icon in apps appears, but doesn't launch. I mean it launches and rapidly shuts down. Any solution of how to globalize gw4 CHC?

I got the extracter Play Store from an International version. But same issue - gets installed, doesn't launch

Sausung watch 4 classic lte. CHC version. Same issue： gets installed, doesn't launch
Donwload apk from apkmirror website. It's a .apk file of the version of 28.0.3 and installed by adb.exe from PC.
I am thinking the right way would be be installing the bundle version with .apkm. But I am stucking by how to install apkm bundle to wear os. There is an app on phone for apkm but nothing for the watch apkm.
Does anyone have a clue?

Series 6 How To Active ECG in Apple Watch 7 iOS 15.4.1 In Any Country or Forbidden Country

hello i am from a region that cant active the ecg or Oxygen blood please help me to fix this issue.

It's not possible I guess. I didn't find any working method on the world wide web.

To activate ECG on your Apple Watch 7 running iOS 15.4.1 in any country, including forbidden countries, you will need to first make sure that your watch is paired with an iPhone running iOS 15.4.1. Once your watch is paired, open the Health app on your iPhone and tap "Health Data." Then tap "Heart" and then tap "Electrocardiogram (ECG)." You will then see a toggle switch to enable ECG. Once it is enabled, you will be able to use ECG on your Apple Watch 7.

Set Country as INDIA.
That's IT.

It is important to note that using features such as ECG on Apple Watch 7 may be restricted in certain countries due to regulatory requirements. However, if ECG is available in your country or you are willing to take the risk of using it in a forbidden country, you can follow these steps to activate ECG on your Apple Watch 7 with iOS 15.4.1:
Update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest version of iOS and watchOS respectively.
Open the Health app on your iPhone and follow the on-screen instructions to set up ECG.
Place your Apple Watch 7 on your wrist and open the ECG app.
Follow the instructions on the app to take an ECG reading.
If ECG is not available in your country, you may need to use a VPN to access the feature. However, it is important to note that using a VPN to access restricted features may violate the terms of service and could potentially put your device and personal information at risk. It is recommended to use caution and ensure that you are complying with local laws and regulations.

Hi Thanks for the advice! I managed to set up!

I gave it a shot, but unfortunately, it didn't work out.
