Changing the galaxy store's country - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm trying to change the galaxy store's country to USA to
1) Utilize paypal's payments.
and
2) to get access to the USA goodies (Japan is severely limited)
Is there any way for me to change it to do this?
Thanks!

I *think* Market Helper would work.

Agreed with you. I got the EDGE from Docomo along with a Gear S watch. The Japanese store is so limited and there *are* apps I want to install that is only available in the US Store.

[APP] Fooducate v1.0.0

So there have been a lot of excitement and articles about this iPhone Fooducate app that finally became available for the Android a while back. The problem is I could never find it and the Google Market, or any other market, either didn't have it or it apparently wasn't "compatible" with my device, Droid X, and wouldn't let me download it.
I finally managed to get the latest version, Fooducate v1.0.0, and thought I'd make it available and save you guys some trouble.
It does work perfectly fine by the way on my Droid X running Cyanogen 7 with the latest nightly installed.
Just download load it and install from sd card.
Market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.fooducate.nutritionapp
The market link should work for most people. I guess it depends on the phone model and rom you are running.
I still get "The requested item could not be found." when I click on the market link, no matter what version of the market.
I sure I'm not the only one with that problem that's why I posted it.

Availability depends mostly of the country you live in. For example outside the US it should not be available as it works only with US products, and outside the US the barcode is mostly replaced.
I tried it with some of the products i have and none worked.
In other words, if you change the sim settings to another carrier/country, it would probably show up in the market?

Don't know, have not tried it, as this program does not work anyway for me. This workaround works for the Amazone store though so maybe...
Hi everybody! Can someone post the latest version of Fooducate, please? I'm italian and this app isn't available outside USA... thanks and sorry for my bad English!

[Q] Carrier Billing?

Hello
When I was stock, I had the option to use carrier billing as a method of payment in the play store. Now that I've unrooted my device and began flashing ROMs, I notice that none of the ROMs are able to use carrier billing.. is there a way to get this back?
Thanks
Zealex
I am on a Verizon GS3 as well and have flashed many roms so far and always had Carrier billing as an option in the Google Play store. Have you checked to see if you are running the latest version of the play store? Maybe Google "most recent Google play store apk", make sure your phone allows downloads from unknown sources, download and see if that helps.

Hmm that's odd. I wasn't sure if I was the only one, and there wasn't much information about it but it seems that maybe it isn't a rom issue huh.
What ROM are you currently on btw?
I'll try that, I'm flashing a new ROM right now though =P
thanks for the reply.

I could be wrong but if im not mistaken verizon had that featured pulled... initially they opted into a carrier billing, and then they decided to opt out. Unless you have the playstore version that included carrier billing you wont have that feature anymore. If you find it doesnt work i can backup and post the version of playstore i have.......which does included carrier billing.

Why the heck would they remove that? Well it's Verizon >_<..
I wish I would of thought to have packed up the original play store app before I flashed from rooted stock, oh well. I would really appreciate if you could that though, it would be a great help !

Hi, if you still have that version of the Google Play that allows for carrier billing, or know of the version that works with it, could you please uppload it somewhere for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

I had similar issues. Verizon still offers the service, what i did to fix the issue was run Market Enabler and "fake" the US Verizon version of the market. After this I went into the market and the option was available again.
Carrier billing still there for me I'm on clean Rom 5.0 with the inverted market.
stripped down rebuild with clean Rom/Gunther/camblued modds!!!

Samsung Pay Beta Testers

With today's announcement of Samsung Pay's impending release in the US, I was wondering how one might get involved in the beta testing. According to The Verge, " 'select US users' will be able to take part in a beta test beginning on August 25th." Any way to sign up to be one of those "select users" or will they hand it out semi-randomly?
Sorry. I'm guessing this should be in Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
No clue. Didn't really mention anything so id say its invite only. Unfortunately mum is the word for Canada overall

I hear ya. I've resisted doing a full root (did pingpong) to see how this would turn out. When I upgraded in April it was this feature that made me go for the S6 instead of the Note 4. I'm hoping someday someone somewhere will find away to have both root and Samsung Pay. For now, I'm just keeping my options open until I can decide if it's worth it.
Try calling them.

I chatted with support and they have no info whatsoever. Good luck. Let us know what you find out.
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.
Korea Link - https://kr.mpay.samsung.com/apk
US Link - https://us.mpay.samsung.com/apk
I've only been able to get the Korean link to load. Once I log in with my Samsung account, I can download and install the apk, it even runs, but doesn't go past the start button.....I tried changing the settings for which app is used for tap and pay, and I even changed the advanced nfc settings. Nothing.
Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.

You can install but have not been able to get it to open. So can't tell if its in Korean or not. The US link is dead.
I signed into the following link with my Samsung account and was able to download an apk. Will not install for me though, probably because i'm not on 5.1.1

It is in english from what I can tell and if your on 5.1.1 it lets you install it. However, so far all I can do it push the start button and nothing happens.

Your normal samsung account? Or did you get a korean account?
Normal Samsung account. The Korean website uses the same login and account you just have to translate everything with Google translate it guess what your clicking until you get to the .apk file, but the Samsung account and ID are forsure the same.
I got it installed with the apk i downloaded with my samsung account on 5.1.1, but it doesn't do anything when trying to launch it.

I called today and they told me to download the Samsung Plus app from the Google playstore. I downloaded it agreed to the terms and logged in and then inside the app there was a link that said "Join Samsung Pay Beta". So far it doesn't do anything, but it seems promising that it might work tomorrow after the beta has officially begun.

The Sprint S6 just received a firmware update today that specifies that the update includes a new feature named 'Samsung Pay'. Once the update completes I'll check out the Samsung Plus app to see if I can join the beta.
Update: Samsung Pay app available, but it's just an advertisement saying Welcome and that it is coming soon. I found nothing in the Samsung Plus app for signing up for the Samsung Pay beta either. Tick tock...
Ya i got the ota today as well. Theres an icon and when u open it there is just info on it. No option to set it up.
Whats the difference between samsung pay and google wallet?
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
Samsung pay supports both NFC and MST. Google wallet, Android Pay, and Apple pay only support NFC. Samsung has the only phones that supports MST. Basicly, it means you can use your phone to pay even when the store has old outdated terminals.

I didn't touch anything. Saw i had a new notification and that is what popped up. It says to push and hold back button to install samsung pay. When i do that it opens galaxy apps on my phone (note 5) and i get a message stating app is unavailable. Going to l go to the store tonight or tomorrow and try it to see what happens.
Hmmmm....Hopefully this is finally an end to the extremely slow rollout
Nothing

I got the same message. The app is installed on my watch (Gear S2 Classic Platinum with Bluetooth). My phone is a S7 Edge. I get the "This app is not available for your device. (com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear.2290:4002)" error message. Check occasionally, to see if there is an update to the phone app, but so far nothing. BTW, I have been using Samsung Pay, on the S7 Edge from the day I received it, and it works fine.
Can't they just not make it to where you can select, either Samsung Pay or Android Pay???
Here we go!
Ok. Got this far anyway. So disappointed.

I finally found Samsung Pay Beta app, but sadly I got the same error. Gear S2 Classic Bluetooth/Wi-Fi in USA here.
I haven't gotten the watch firmware update yet, but my Gear app on my Note 4 phone just started showing a new link to "Samsung Pay Beta." Clicking on it (so far) gets an error message: "this app is not available for your device."
where do I download app?
New update. Won't let me add any of my Wells Fargo cards at this time, but it would let me add my Amazon Chase Visa. Going to give it a try here in a little bit. Wish me luck!

Do you have the BT or a Carrier version? I ask cause I have an AT&T version and I haven't received an update nor can I find it in the app store (Galaxy App).

You're probably right and I really don't see why it should since its nothing that would be carrier specific.

I did sign up for beta on the second wave (July 3rd) but never was able to activate or use the voice feature, so July 18th could be the day

The interesting thing to find out if Bixby or Samsung is looking at your Samsung account to determine if you are US or Non-US country. If it looks for your account to determine your location, then it maybe possible to change the locale to US for example and see if it will work.

im 100% sure i wont get in , not in the us (in Trinidad and Tobago) ... but its fun to see the developments.
Bixby overall seems to be a great option. from what i have seen its very immersive. Much better than what is out there now.

Just got a ton of bixby updates from the Galaxy store. Nothing seems to work yet though.
These updates just became available in the Galaxy App Store. It would appear something is happening today.
i have nothing ... my samsung account has a US address but i am in Trinidad and Tobago ...
was hoping that would have been enough to get it but my phone is being used and activated in Trinidad and Tobago (code TTT) :crying:
Can someone upload these updates as apk please ?
