I had only ecg working before the update to Tizen 5.5, etc. Now neither BP nor ecg work. I have attempted to uninstall the ecg app by doing this, but it was no longer installed, so it errored out. If I do an "sdb shell" and issue a "pkgcmd -l | grep health", all that shows are health-data-service, com.samsung.watchface-health-dashboard, and com.samsung.shealth_gear. When I try to install any of these at the bottom of that post, they install and run, and samsung accessory services says transferring file for a while, but then SHM always gives the error message "Failed to install the app." I'm willing to do/test whatever I can help get this working for everyone without a Samsung phone...

P.S. I tested "29" as well, same thing...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] supercobaltss:
Same issue here. Failed to Install. OnePlus 8 5G
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] marckusdavis:
P.P.S. I'm guessing the issue stems (at least partially) from the fact that I cannot get SHM to pair to my watch any longer. It took a bit of finagling to get it to work the first time (before Tizen 5.5), but I've repeated those steps to no avail now on 5.5.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] dotly:
yep. the best solution would just be if samsung would like enable it for everyone :/
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] supercobaltss:
Exactly! I tweeted them this morning about it. Well see if they reply.

Works great on german Active 2 Tizen 5501 thank you very much :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] caravana:
If you don't have a Samsung phone the best way I know is install the TPK before the 5.5 update. I don't know if anyone here managed to install the tpk with sdb after the 5.5 update.

In US Samsung still won't enable the BP. If you don't need/want the BP just use the Official APK/TPK.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] caravana:
Just flash the proper 4.0.0.8 rom for your watch (search for it on YouTube using the model - there are dozens of tutorials). After that, install the TPK using the SDB and afterwards update the Watch.

Nevermind.. I believed it was a GWA2. In this case I don't know how to help. Never saw anyone that managed to install the TPK using the sdb on Tizen 5.5. I tried a lot and never succeeded.

really really disappointing
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Gary02468:
Yes. Previously (before today's Tizen 5.5 update), I had BP.tpk version 23 which gave me BP & ECG. After the Tizen update, it was replaced with version 103, which was ECG-only (no BP function). Now, with adfree's version 29 and caravana's SHM 175 mod4, I have BP & ECG again, with Tizen 5.5, on my US GWA2 paired with my Note20.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] nilloks:
and you uninstall the 103 version? i try to uninstall that version with adfree method but sdb generate errors, and if try to install the 29 version from galaxy phone i have errors :(
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Gary02468:
Yes, the uninstall instructions (via sdb shell pkgcmd) worked for me, and then I was able to install version 29.

Can you give more details...

A

SDB Version

B

Model Name of Watch...

SM-R820 or SM-R825U or?

:confused:

C

This App is really not open in Background... be sure to close... not to start... maybe this could 1 reason

Maybe restart watch and try again... try more then 1 time...

D

We have also 1 Disable Command... maybe this helps to nuke this crap from device...

E

Hardcore clean is SQlite Database Action... for this we need rootfs.img and csc.img flash again...

Hi adfree, thank you so much for you work.

Do you think it will be possible to bypass tizen 5 and push tpk to non samsung devices?

I just wonder if I should keep active 2 and wait or just return it.

Phone is Pixel 4XL. GW3 LTE, updated today to 5.5 . I tried pkgcmd -u -t tpk -n com.samsung.health.samd.bp and that failed as well. Using tdb 2.2.60. I have the SHM app on phone working, doesn't see watch so just need to install the tpk file...I think??

I have an oneplus 7 pro and it tells me that the app cannot be installed on the Active 2, on a smartphone but it cannot transfer it to the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] coliny59:
After reading all the posts, it seems that people like me who have not done anything prior to the most recent update and went ahead and installed this 5.5 OEM update for the XAR (USA) are stuck with not being able to delete or uninstall the ecg and bp files on the watch. I also have a Pixel3XL, so as of right now this update just gives me fall detection, which is useless.

Do we need root on the watch to be able to delete or overwrite the bp and ecg files?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gdfranco:
If you're on the Active2 you can flash 4.0.0.8 and install it as suggested previously. Personaly I think is too much of a hassle... but to each their own.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] d j a:
Same deal for me..except Pixel 4XL.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] nilloks:
I have that error and i see via SDB we cant activate the root, i enter to the watch with tizen studio and i find a ECG and BP TPK inside (that show the BP can work but we dont see it) but we cant delete because you can only have read access to that folder...i have a s20 ultra

Do you have any idea how to overcome this obstacle?

I guess now the question will be, how do we get ECG working?
[MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] as I understand it, you did mention that Samsung removed code pertaining to ECG from the Samsung Health Monitor APK that we are all using. This is evidenced when I try the ECG app from the watch, it opens Samsung Health Monitor but does nothing.

Do you think there is any chance we can get the ECG component in Samsung Health Monitor working?

Maybe we can force ECG to do some thing else as open dead Link in Playstore...

If we search for text strings in decompiled APK...

<string name="home_about_sub_app_blood_pressure">Samsung BP Monitor</string>
<string name="home_about_sub_app_ecg">ECG</string>

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Gary02468:
There's lots of stuff out there that we can read, but much of it isn't true. I've found the watch matches cuff readings pretty well. And it was certified for use as a medical device by South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

But I'd be interested to learn of any formal studies of its accuracy, if you know of any.

I don't think that counts as a purpose, whether or not there are other purposes that it serves.
