How to enable ECG on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, Watch Active 2 paired with non-Samsung phones

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 include an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor. The ECG monitor allows users to keep a check on their heart rhythm for irregularities such as Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). But in order to use this feature, you need access to Samsung’s ECG monitoring app. Samsung recently received FDA clearance for the app and started rolling it out to users in the US. However, the app currently doesn’t work with non-Samsung devices. This means that Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 users who don’t have a Samsung device, still can’t make use of the ECG monitoring feature. Thanks to XDA Member xxstd though, you can now enable ECG monitoring on non-Samsung devices by following this simple tutorial.

          Overall, it's a good smart watch but can someone help me please?
          I've got a Nokia 5.3 and whenever I want to add songs to it, it stays on a constant loop of "connecting to watch".
          Can someone tell me what to do or introduce a new app/way to transform my songs to it?
          If so, I'd really appreciate it!

              I have purchased one Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 recently and observed that distance is not measuring while cycling with the watch. Is we need to do any special settings to get the distance while cycling

                  the only difference I noticed last update brought was, the heart rate detection is now buggy and sometimes the battery discharges 50% in 1 hour, no reason why. Bravo Samsung.

                        After 2 years, my charger started not working and there was some problem with my delivery. The Gorilla Glass DX+ was broken because it was very old and rusty since I bought it at October 2019. My eMMC was not functioning properly. And Samsung is trying to pull a prank on you.

                                        I bought the active 2 last April because I read a review that said the ECG on the watch was great. Got the watch and found out no ECG. Now I find ECG is out for Active 2, problem is I don't have a Galaxy phone, mine is a Moto so I was told by Samsung tech it won't work but I could buy a new galaxy phone. My phone is new. I have crossed Samsung of my list future purchases for ANYTHING. Screwed by Samsung once that is enough.
