i cannot find a way for the watchface to continually monitor heart rate.
The only continuous heart rate displayed in Health Apps and that is only during activity. It would make battery usage suboptimal.
I know the continual HR is monitoring as it shows in the tiles, but the face doesn’t update.
The HR tag only shows the last HR read rate.
You can set the HR to update at more frequent times (every 10 minutes) in the pancake menu - Project menu - Settings menu - Health Tab
There are two types of read one is what you refer to is continual and the other is a single instance. WFS tag only do that single instance.
also, if anyone can tell me the app id for the ECG scanner so i can actually create a button for it that would be great.
here are some other commonly used:-
com.samsung.android.shealthmonitor Health Monitor
com.samsung.android.watch.cameracontroller Camera Controller
com.samsung.android.watch.findmyphone Find My Phone
com.samsung.android.watch.flashlight Flashlight
com.samsung.android.watch.alarm Alarm
com.samsung.android.mediacontroller Media Controller
com.samsung.android.gallery.watch Gallery
com.samsung.android.dialer Dialer
com.android.vending Playstore Watch
com.google.android.apps.maps Maps
Try running simple adb commands
adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555 (your watch IP address & enable debugging)
adb shell
pm list packages
You will get an output list like this
package:com.android.cts.priv.ctsshim
package:com.google.android.ext.services
package:com.android.providers.telephony
The app ID is after package:
com.samsung.android.wear.shealth/com.samsung.android.wear.shealth.app.heartrate.view.HeartRateActivity
go to Play Store and download the Package names app . open it and you will see the apps that are installed on your phone.
For more information see this topic it is where I copied the above from.
