Question South Africa Galaxy watch 4 Missing Blood oxygen - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi Guys
I'm desperate and quite irritated at Samsung .
We Pay exactly the same amount as any other country R5000 south african rands or $331,67 United States Dollars for a Samsung Galaxy watch 4 , but the ECG , Blood pressure and the Blood oxygen is deactivated.
Please can anyone help me just to find a way to bypass it to alteast get the blood oxygen working?
Thank you
Paul

I am in the UK, officially ECG works for us.
I have a phone with an EUX region and a watch for South Africa. When I turned on the watch for the first time, I chose the first from the list - Colombia. But as it later became clear, ECG does not work in Colombia. Then I reset the clock and at the first start I chose - Chile.
Chile is on the list of countries where ECG officially operates !! After that, everything works great on my watch for South Africa and the selected region of Chile !!!

as usual, not sure why samsung has to do this. maybe local regulatories need to approve the feature first

My region is south africa. I have tried to reset the watch but after reset it does not provide the option to select another region like the first time. It only wipes the data. Can you provide a step by step guide or a link to a video?

Very disappointed! Oxygen readings & ECG not working in South Africa. This was never mentioned!! I bought the watch specifically to monitor sleep patterns, including Oxygen levels. I wonder if I can return the watch?

You can get the ECG & Blood Pressure to work.
I got mine working using a guide on this forum.
Just cannot get the Oxygen working.

Thanks Lexorius, but I bought the watch specifically to monitor oxygen through the night. (& potential sleep apnea...)
Lot's of money to spend on a non-waterproof watch only...

Curious, could anyone get the blood oxygen working?

No. I would suggest not buying the Galaxy Watch4. With no blood oxygen, no ECG, & no blood pressure monitor in South Africa, there are way better options out there...

At least the ECG, & blood pressure monitor is easy to "activate".

This is the only thing I could find, it allows you to change the language to a lot of Eastern European languages so it might, I don't know though.

I tested it on google maps on my phone and it does give directions for eastern Europe. Did a route from Warsaw to Kiev with no problem but could not get it to route to Moscow. If it works from my armchair here, my guess is that it would work there too.
it works great in Germany, Austria and Spain, have not been to Eastern Europe, but I guess it works. No reason why it shouldn't.

Samsung Gear SM-RF760 and Samsung Gear Pay - Issues

So, due to no Gear S3 being available in Australia for some time, I ordered the SM-RF760 Model from www.eglobaldigital.com.au
I have the s7 Edge Aussie Variant. Just found out that Samsung Pay is no available on the SM-RF760 and been advised by Samsung that it will only become available and has to be activated in the country i bought the watch from!!! Can you believe it? Maybe one day I can side load a version, of if someone can help, please please do
Michael
Sorry but you can't side load it. The only way to get it on the watch is to load the csc file from Australia. I am in the same boat in Canada. Have it in Gear Manager but it won't go on the watch until Canada updates the CSC file.
Swordfish
Thanks Swordfish

I only have it in Gear Manager because I use a US phone with US firmware in Canada. Should have bought the watch in US too!

Mine in Canada is OXA, can someone from US tell me what version you have? I believe this is what prevents us from installing SP on our watches.

I ask now on another forum and wait answer.
Man buy R760 from USA, now version APK7.
Pnone not Samsung. Adding russian card without problem.
SP working via NFC and MST.
Sorry for my bad english.
APK7 is the firmware version but I need to know what CSC version the Americans have. Using the procedure above, you can check and see what version you have. It won't hurt your watch to just check the version number.
Swordfish
My guess is my model number is the American version SM-R760
CSC: R760OXA1APK6 SM-R760
We have PK7 as the firmware but my thinking must be incorrect. It seems we all have OXA as the CSC value so now I'm puzzled as to how the watch knows not to install SP on my watch??
Swordfish
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING AND SAMSUNG ARE HOPELESS, THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTRY I PURCHASED, HONG KONG?? Is SM-R760 the USA version then?

I think, need another activation SP.
May be enabling in special menu, before buy.
May be first pairing and activation in country non USA.
May be first pairing and activation with non USA Samsung phone firmware.
I dont know....
gah samsung pay not available on my HK version of the watch. Gah is there any update on this (flashing firmware etc) to get samsung pay to work in my home country (australia)?
This is frustrating
It's the watch, nothing you do on your phone will bypass it. I'm in Canada, didn't even have the SP option in my gear app and then I sold my Canadian one and got a USA one and it installed itself on my Canadian S7 Edge (unrooted/unmodded). SP works even though we don't officially have SP in Canada (only pre-release for one bank)

This feature is still rolling out to those countries, idk if you're in one of them, but not everyone has RCS there (except France and UK, the roll out is complete now).
So you were lucky to have it, and since you modified your device, the google message's app data was flushed, and this time you were not so lucky with rcs.
That's my theory. But hopefully someday RCS will knock on your door, said that he missed you and knows that you missed him, and you'll be together for the rest of you live. Don't be a fool a break up again, you'll regret it like right now.

hi, mine is BT also, have ypu got this probelm solved?
Not yet mate, it's extremely frustrating when companies and government rules make a mess of things! I hope some creative minds can get this to work. I'm ready to experiment on my watch if anyone wants to try something but doesn't have the watch handy too.
PS: I've a connection to 1984 too

Question International Version Questions

This is a really elementary question: this is my first smart watch. I have a new Galaxy 4 watch. I was not careful when I ordered and ended up with an "International" version. (I only get Latin American countries as choices for my region.) I'm not sure of what limitations this will cause. E.g., can I use Google Pay or Samsung Pay? Will my apps function properly? Alternatively is there a way to get the US version via a software update or etc?
Sorry for the simple questions, but any help or information would be gratefully welcomed.
Can you tell me if the "internal" version has the Blood Pressure option and ECG? I keep reading that the USA version currently does not support those two options... Something about waiting for FDA approval. I an from the USA but live in Colombia and I have not need for Google Pay or Samsung Pay as no stores except either where I am at.

No blood pressure or ECG functions show up for me. Columbia is one of the countries in the regions listed on the watch.
