Samsung billing updates but won't allow purchases? - Samsung Gear S2

I tried to buy a new watch face but each time i try to purchase it says Samsung billing has to update. i click to allow and something seems to install on my phone but when i try to complete the purchase i get the same message that Samsung billing has to update. Any ideas? I cleared cache on gear app and turned off the phone and restarted it. Nothing helps.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem. I've contacted Samsung support and they advised me to uninstall all updates for Samsung billing and since it didn't work, they just asked to: "please wait for the update the Galaxy Apps developers are preparing for Samsung billing. After the update, the issue will be fixed." So... That's good?

Same here... Tried to uninstall updates for Samsung billing, but did not work. Happened since i updated my S6 to marshmallow. Someone tried factory reset? I dont want to try it, cause last time i did that, my gear s2 watch reseted too.
Any ideas how to fix that?

I actually contacted Samsung and we cleared caches on several apps and did an uninstall and reinstall and then it worked. Try contacting Samsung as I don't remember everything we did

Installing and updating apps from Samsung gear store

Has anyone been able to successful install new apps or update existing ones on the Samsung Gear store? I have a Oneplus One, and so far everything else has been fine. Surely there is a way to get it to work.....

I have only had my S2 for two days. On the first evening, I was able to install a couple apps from the store. But since last night and all day today, I am unable to install any apps. After about 30 seconds I get "No response. Timed out"
Anyone else having this issue?

I uninstalled all the Gear apps from my phone, reinstalled them, which prompted the phone to do a soft reset. After doing all that, I was able to install apps from the Gear store again. Not sure which part fixed things, but it's working now.
After 2 weeks of flawless operation i could no longer install apps from my Note 4 to my T-Mobile Gear S2 4g. Samsung tech unable to help me solve problem and had me send it in for repair - waiting for it's return

I also uninstalled and reinstalled all the Samsung apps (Gear, Gear plug in, Accessory manager) and it prompted a soft reset on the watch. It then accepted updates to apps as well as installing apps. Good to have the functionality for going forward, but for now the appstore for the Gear S2, especially if not using a Samsung phone sucks actually.
I was getting a message saying my gear wasn't connected to the phone, and it wouldn't install any apps.
Performing a soft reset did fix this, although I did not uninstall any apps from the phone.
I am now able to install apps again.

I had the time out problem and I just uninstalled/reinstalled the Gear Plugin which forced a reinstall of the Accessory service and light reset of the watch. That seemed to do the trick.

Samsung Pay Card Activation Trouble

I got a new debit card over a week ago and ever since I cannot get this new card verified with SPay for my Gear S watch! I've gotten it verified for my phone, however, no problem! I only wish it didn't have to be done once for the watch and once for the phone! Anybody else with this problem? The verifying center is no help at all, all they say is "Your token is activated"!
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
This has suddenly become a problem for me as well. It seems every time they update the Samsung Pay Gear Plug-in app, it was disabling my card, and I was having to add it all over again. This last time, it won't let me add it.
Couple things:
- It works fine on Samsung Pay on the phone
- I've tried clearing cache and data
- I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling every Samsung Pay app - Phone, Gear Plug-in, and Framework
- Strange, when it fails (continuous spinning while trying to validate the card), it says Gear Not Responding, and my only option is to try again, or back up, where it tells me the card will be discarded. BUT, I get an email saying I've registered a new card?!?! (No card is available on the watch or showing in the plug-in app).
Samsung Pay help line says to factory reset the watch. Great, now every time they update the app I'm supposed to reset the watch and set everything back up the way I like it?! No thanks!
Any ideas?

Cannot pair or connect a previously connected watch

Yesterday afternoon my Gear S3 disconnected spontaneously from the phone (Redmi Note 8T) as it does from time to time and I haven't been able to reconnect or pair it again ever since.
I reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled the phone app but the pairing never finishes. It goes through the motions both on the phone and the watch, the watch appears in the list of paired BT devices but it always comes up with "Connection failed. Try again." on the watch and goes back to "Pick your device" on the phone app. I am at the end of my witts with this one.
Can anyone help?
I am experiencing the exact same thing, it started this morning. I did install a new ROM last night, no issues so its possible that is related but I'm not seeing anything on the ROM forum about this issue. Did you install a new ROM recently?

I am just running everything stock, so there may have been an official update to either the Tizen or Galaxy Wearable app in the background but nothing that I have done.
Yeah it seems like it, well I'm glad to know I didn't directly cause it, before your post I wasn't seeing this issue anywhere. I saw some posts from years ago but were fixed with minor changes that didn't work for me.
SOLVED.
FYI this has been resolved.
It was the Samsung Health app on the phone that was hogging the pairing for some reason. In desperation and trying everything possible I removed and reinstalled the Health and after that the S3 paired no problem.
I was very hopeful when I read your message! But that was not my problem. I tried reinstalling and no dice, tried uninstalling and trying to pair and still no luck. I'm glad yours is working now!

Try this, it worked for me:
Find "Gear S Plugin" app in All Apps List, force stop, then clear cache, clear data
Remove your Gear S3 from Bluetooth paired device
Uninstall, reinstall both Samsung Health and Galaxy Wearable apps
Restart your Gear S3 and go through setup steps in Galaxy Wearable app again

Hey, thanks for the tip, it didn't work for me but I appreciate the attempt to assist.
It did end up being the ROM I was using, an update came out and fixed the issue.

Note 10+ Galaxy Watch 4 Plugin keeps stopping

Hello,
I have the Note 10+ and the new Galaxy Watch 4. Since a recent update now on the phone it says that the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 Plugin keeps stopping. I've tried wiping cache and data on the plugin, the wear app on the phone, wiping cache and dalvik, going back to the last version all without any resolution. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this and if there's a fix for it.
Thanks in advanced

I'm having the same problem on a Note 20 ultra.
The watch is discovered by my phone. They Bluetooth pair just fine, but I can never get past the "Agree" screen to actually get the watch connected to galaxy wear before the app crashes.
- Removed and uninstalled the Galaxy Watch Plugin (for the 2018 model)
- Unpaired my Galaxy watch (2018)
- Uninstalled Smart Things (Suggestion on another forum)
- Uninstalled Android System Webview (suggestion on another forum)
- Factory reset my phone and did not restore
Nothing I do works, Samsung support was rude to say the least. They are replacing the watch as that's what they suspect the problem is.
I suspect crappy app development.

I finally got mine to work. Is your phone stock or is it rooted and bootloader unlocked? I found that my issue was actually due to a plugin or whatever in magisk, once I disabled it, I was able to set everything up fine!

I don't blame you. Have you looked at the plugin version and seen if you can roll back to a later apk to test it? Cleared cache/data and uninstalled and reinstalled? Any weird third party apps installed?

I was suspecting third party apps so I just factory reset and uninstalled and many apps as I was allowed to uninstall. (Carriers here have almost no bloatware).
Unfortunately the version I have for the plugin appears to be the only version. I might be able to roll back the galaxy wear app. The only other thing I can think of is an issue with the latest update for my phone.

I have similar issue and no resolution. My phone is OnePlus 7T Pro and the Galaxy Watch4 plugin keeps crashing if I try to open Galaxy Wearable app. This started happening only on the second evening after installing that app and pairing the watch.
I have looked at the stacktrace by sending feedback and checking the details. The stacktrace indicates my crashes have something to do with Samsung Pay which isn't even available in my country (Finland).

I could for sure remove samsung pay, i don't even use it (I use google pay).
This is really dumb though, it shouldn't be this difficult to setup a watch.

Interesting.... My phone has samsung pay on it but I have it frozen with Titanium backup and so far no issues here. Other than Samsung did an EPIC fail releasing this watch with no BP monitor since that's the main reason I bought it. Luckily I found a work-around here on XDA to fix that

If I'm interpreting the stack trace correctly, the problem is that the app (Watch4 plugin) receives an invalid response or something it doesn't understand. It's trying to update something related to Samsung Pay from a server or from watch.
I guess it will get fixed with an update and hopefully soon.
PS. Next time when the crash dialog pops up could you press the report button and then check the details of what would get sent? In the details there's a button to open the stack trace. Check if the first few rows mention anything about Samsung Pay

After today's update to Galaxy Wearable app and to the watch the crashes are now gone. I'm trying to not touch anything Samsung Pay related in the wearable app or the watch to not trigger whatever was causing the crashes. It might still be that it's some scheduled job that only starts after a while like it did on the first time.

Unfortunately, it won't let me actually see the log files of what happened. Just lets me send them off to Samsung via Samsung members. I can't even view the logs there either.
They probably go off to an unmonitored inbox

For me it stopped after the watch got update and I've not touched anything Samsung Pay related since. Have you already got the watch update?
GUYS I GOT IT WORKING!!!
1) Uninstall the galaxy watch 4 plugin
2) Clear cache and atorage
3) Unpair the watch4 if it actually Bluetooth paired
3) Download and install the Galaxy Watch 3 plugin (I had to download the apk outside the ayatore)
4) setup your watch again. I was shocked when the app didn't crash.

Question Anyone using Samsung Pay? Doesn't work on my Galaxy Watch4 Classic

I am trying to set up Samsung Pay on my new Galaxy Watch4 Classic. No matter what I do, I can't get past this screen! Paired with Z Fold3. Touching the button with the arrow does nothing. Any help would be appreciated!
Update: Maybe this has something to do with it? Every time I open the Samsung Pay watch plug in on my phone it tells me it needs to update the Samsung Pay app on my watch. But every time it fails. Yes I've rebooted. No reason given. Any ideas? Phone is Z Fold 3.
maybe ur watch region CSC dont allow samsung pay .
samsung pay work in ur fold3 ?
check ur watch region

Yes works fine on ZF3 and on my GW3 up until I cleared it. I'm in the USA and it's a US watch purchased directly from AT&T.
I had the same issue with mine when I first got it. I THINK what I did was disconnect from my phone and make sure the watch was connected to my home WiFi. Then it updated and I could set it up. It's been awhile so I can't remember for sure. Hope that helps!

Nope didn't work, or I didn't do it right. I've had my watch disconnected from the phone (even turned off remote connection), WiFi only, for 2 hours now. Opened the Samsung Pay app many times, never prompted for an update and nothing ever happened on its own. Still can't get past that Get Started screen with the arrow button. Is there a way to manually trigger an update or clear data for an app directly from the watch? I couldn't find Samsung Pay in the Play store either to update or reinstall.
Ok, I may not be remembering correctly either. I would try resetting the samsung pay watch app in the Galaxy Wearable app. Watch settings>apps>app settings>samsung pay. Get into the settings there and check the version, it may let you update the watch plug in from there. If not I'd use the reset option.

Thank you, good advice. Unfortunately that's the first thing I tried and there actually is no option to reset. Usually you can click on Storage and then have Clear Cache and Clear Data. Clicking on Storage for Samsung Pay does nothing. No option to clear anything. Can't uninstall either. The closest I could come to this was uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung Pay Watch Plugin from my phone, and that didn't help. I did talk to Samsung and they want me to bring it to a service center or ship to them for physical repair, which is about what I was expecting for an answer. I did try resetting the watch back to factory defaults and reinstalling the wearables app on my phone, no luck. Brought me right back to the same place. I guess I will try exchanging it since I just bought it, and if the new one doesn't work I'll just go back to my GW3. Thank you for your help.
Did you tried to reset App data from ADB? ADB is a debug protocol for Android devices. With ADB you can do things which no allowed to do in User Interface. In Android OEMs like Samsung are disabling to much features in UI because they think people are dumb and they don't wanna mess your phone if you are not experienced user. With ADB you can do too much things in Android devices. I don't know how to reset app data with ADB but I did it before, just search the web.
Its easy. i had the same issue, only solved by doing this. Install APKPure and search for updates for your apps. it should appear there.update it, and afterwards you can uninstall the APKPure.
Best of luck mate.
Hi, was this ever solved in the end? I am just experiencing this issue... It's because of the new update for the Watch Plug-In, for some reason it cannot update the app on the watch itself or communicate to that app at all... I still experience that same stuck screen!! Any help would be appreciated.
