got my ecg activated for free.  there was a posting in fb group how one girl got it from shopee for a fee of rm50.

Then there is this guy in the fb conversation willing to do it for free. And he did it for me.  The trick is simple.  Just sign out from your apple id and log in using someone apple id that already has the ecg activated.  Then sign out and sign in again using your apple id.

It works for me.

Well becareful if you're using a Shared ID. Make sure you're getting from a reputable and responsible seller. Otherwise, if he/she does not remove your data, your data will be passed on to others unfortunately.

Providing services for free always comes with a catch. No one is willing to do things appropriately for FREE. REAL WORLD (Look at Zoom)

Got my ECG activated through this guy from Shopee ECG Activation

If you are interested, I'd recommend the own ID creation method - meaning you give the seller a dummy Apple ID that you create for him to activate. Basically just need around 20mins to sign in and sign out from your phone and its done. Very simple  tongue.gif

Thank you for your support! Enjoy your ecg broo

Hi! This is Edc from shopee. You may create the dummy ID using Malaysia store for the activation. It doesn’t matter ya.

Need to hack phone or watch like what iMazing do copy file to iPhone or just a simple dummy account only will do?

If dummy account, we must use the dummy accoubt for watch and iphone for life or we can factory both phone amd watch  reset after activate ecg?

Thanks

Hi Chan,

There's no need to jailbreak your device or any sort of hacking tools. The activation is as simple as creating a dummy account and we will do the rest for you.

You may reuse your own ID once the activation is completed. The ECG will stays within your ID.

Yes, as long as you have your "Health" data synchronized with your Apple ID. The ECG will stay within your Apple ID. Once activated, it will be on permanent basis.

I have new Apple Watch series 5 44mm but haven't found it very useful or interesting other than GPS and telephone function. What are your favorite apps for making watch useful and fun?

Welcome to the club bro. I think the ECG feature is pretty useful.

Apart from that, if you're going for a jog or walk in the park, having both your AW and Airpods could be a very good companion IMO.

Hi bro! Yes, you can activate ECG now in Malaysia with a lil workaround / tweak.

We are providing the activation service with a small amount of fee to ensure a win-win, where each activation will take about 30mins of our time. You may purchase via the following ya!

This whole ECG activation works due to a coding mistake by Apple. As soon as they realised it, they will patch it. So don’t be surprise if it’s gone one day, everyone who activated it unofficially (other than jailbreak) are just living in borrowed time.
*
Says the one who didn't know what's actually going on behind the activation, but simply charging and provided the risky activation method without putting any data security into consideration and then, failed to activate for his own customers lol.

A previous user sent this to me lol.

By the way, as far as my understanding and experience go, i reckon that once the Apple ID is activated, there’s no way on patching this up. Once it’s activated, it will be permanent. Put it this way, if you got it activated in a region which supports the ECG function, will it get patched when you’re back to a region where ECG is not supported?

Hi, just want to share the misinformation regarding ECG activation on unsupported region's Apple Watch.

Read this link if you truly wants to understand the reason why we are able to activate ECG on unsupported region Apple Watch
Source: https://hiraku.tw/2020/02/6044/

TLDR:
During iOS 13.4 + WatchOS 6.2 development, Apple made a change to ignore Region checking if the Apple ID have already activated ECG before.
I highlighted the comments above because I want to point out that, even if you bought an AW from Malaysia and go to Singapore, there is no way for you to activate ECG because the ECG app is not even in your AW.

Edit: Forgot to point out that, Apple could just re-enable region checking in a future update on all Apple ID and Malaysia Region AW will lose the ECG functionality (I am saying it's possible, just not sure whether Apple will do it or not in the future). This is the reason why you will see sellers asking you not to update your iOS/WatchOS version because there is no guarantee what Apple will do in future software release.

I am currently on iOS 14 beta + WatchOS 7 beta and ECG functionality is still available on my Malaysia AW S5. But if I go into Health App, there is a new Health Checklist, it will list down ECG is not supported in my region, just saying that it's entire possible for Apple to do some simple checking and every Malaysia Apple Watch will lose ECG functionality even if your Apple ID contains the activation flag.
*
That’s great to know. Thanks for sharing! But just Fyi, I got my main AW My version activated in SG. The reason behind could be what you have just shared.

By the way, if you could provide some screenshots on what you have mentioned on the latest beta will definitely help us on alerting the others! Thanks!

First of all, the activation prior to the current “trick” is activated by having the software checking the cell tower you’re connected to and which is why no one could activate it if their device isn’t from ECG enabled country. So regarding patch or not, nobody can answer other than Apple themselves.

So please don’t talk about “understanding & experience” without any facts.

Maybe next time if you want to start selling your "understanding and experience", you can build up some creativity to make your own sales post than blindly copy.

Anyway I do understand, as a seller, you would lean on the positive side to up your sales 😉
*
Thank you so much for the facts sharing and just wanted to highlight that no one is making any sales here apart from discussion. If you wanna be a keyboard warrior, you may go on.

Also, just FYI no one would takes "understanding and experience" as fact in a discussion, but opinion.

Fact is fact.


QUOTE(louis198920 @ Jun 24 2020, 01:59 PM)
Wow, that's good to know actually. So you mean that you are able to see the ECG app in your MY AW when you are in SG? Because the "activation" of the ECG functionality actually happens when you open the app. It was previously not possible for Malaysia AW simply because we cannot find the app anywhere on our watch.

Here's some screenshot from iOS 14 beta:
In Health App, open your profile, select Health checklist:
[attachmentid=10522291]

This will list down all the features available to you:
[attachmentid=10522290]

EDIT: ECG functionality is still there on my AW though, not sure how Apple will handle this as we move nearer to iOS 14 release (somewhere Sept)
*
Thanks for sharing Louis!

The GUI looks really clean and amazing in iOS 14, my gosh! Good to know that the ECG functionality still works, but does the readings get recorded in the "Health app"?

Many Beta users have done the activation with us and confirmed this as well. "Unavailable for region" did not display on their devices.

However, most of them were in the latest beta.
