I've been using Android pay for a week but have found that where I live there are a lot of terminals that don't accept tap to pay via nfc.
I notice that samsung pay can emulate the magnetic strip used on older terminals so thought may be worth giving it a go.
I tried to download the app from the play store but it says my device isn't supported! I could have sworn the s7 was supposed to be supported so am at a loss as to why I'm barred from using it.
Is anyone else here having the same problem?
i have a us sprint version and samsung pay works for me. i just have to wait for the bank to open tomorrow and have my card verified. my app runs and allowed me to add the card just have to get it verified before i can use it. i used it on my note 5 and yes any terminal that u can swipe a card with u should be able to use samsung pay with. if u root your phone u break samsung pay fyi

I think OP is from the UK not US, that why OP is having trouble with it
i wish they would have got it going on the gear s2. that's one of the reasons i got one when i had my note 5 but they didn't have it for the us version of the watch
Using Samsung Pay, with T-Mobile in US, works everywhere. I also have the iPhone 6S, stopped using it months ago, Apple Pay has problems everywhere, Samsung Pay works anywhere and everywhere.

What version of s7 do you have? I have a G930FD, I flashed it with firmware from UAE, csc code XSG, and installed the latest Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Frame. And it works very well in U.S. You can find the thread for this.
Thanks. I thought samsung pay would have been usable upon launch in the UK and missed that it hadn't been released here yet.
I don't fancy flashing another country's firmware for now so will just be patient and wait for its release here.
If it wasn't for the magnetic strip emulation I wouldn't bother but even some of the big chain stores don't have contactless here so could really use it.
FWIW I have a G930F

Got my note 7 today, and went to setup Samsung pay on my gear s2.. it seems like there is a version of the tpk preinstalled that does not get updated when installing the gear s2 Samsung pay app, so when you go to use Samsung pay on the gear s2 it constantly tells you that it needs to update ... hoping it's fixed soon, tried resetting the gear we didn't work
I assume you have the non 3g version of the s2, correct? I have the 3g version but am not able to use Samsung Pay on it yet.

Same issue here. Using At&t note 7 android ver 6.0.1 and the gear s2 classic (non 3g) samsung pay throws an app error.
Error Product does not exist in this store (2316:4004).
This error can be replicated by holding the back key on the gear s2. Samsung pay will prompt you to look at your mobile device and a video begins to play on it. During the video "Update Samsung Pay" appears. When you update it the error is thrown.

Yes, using Wi-Fi variant it was working fine on my s7 edge, not working at all on note 7, just keeps asking me to update. When you look at installed applications on the gear it shows Samsung pay twice, so my best guess is that one is up to date and the other is not, when you go to use it, it's probably checking version on the non updated TPK, then forwards you to the update and says you are already up to date because of the updated version. The solution is most likely to get rid of the old version, but it is not uninstallable
Fixed?
I had this problem as well. I'm on Verizon with Galaxy Note 7 and have a non-3g Bluetooth only classic gear S2. I just opened pay on my watch a few minutes ago, it opened the app on the phone, got the usual update message, so I hit update as I have tried every day since I got the phone last Thursday, and to my surprise, it actually worked this morning. :good: After it was updated, I closed the app on the phone, and re-initiated pay on my watch, and the app on the phone opened and the "Start" option was finally there, and I was able to add my card details. So now the trick will be to see if the pay actually works whenever I try to make a purchase.
Anybody with a rooted phone try out Samsung Pay via the Gear S3? I have the S7 edge and haven't rooted it because I like using Samsung Pay, but if the watch can do it by itself then maybe I can root my phone and enjoy Samsung Pay all in one. Wondering if anyone wants to give it a shot if it hasn't been tested, I would but I'm waiting for Verizon to start selling it, not sure when that will be...
Thanks for the replies and/or help.
**Edit**
Recently Samsung pay for the gear now detects root. Here's the latest as of 11 April 2017:

after looking at what version of Samsung pay had on the watch which was 1.3.1703, I was able to find an apk from sammobile for version 1.2.5202. After downloading that version and I had to manually uninstall Samsung Pay through your phone settings and application manager or installing the older apk on top of the newer one would fail, I was able to access Samsung pay with no problems on my phone and was able to add back my card like i was able to do before. after adding my card I was able to blanch Samsung pay on my Watch but due to my watch Samsung pay version being higher than my phone version due to when Samsung pay updated before, it wouldn't let me use Samsung pay until my phone version was back to version 1.3.1703. but I was able to access Samsung pay on my watch with my cards showing up now. I haven't tried to see if it works but I assume that since the card is on the watch now It should work now. ill attach the older apk for anyone else to try.

you cant install it on the gear3 cause it have to be setup on the phone first so maybe unless you unroot and set it up and then re-root it might stick and work idk

I wanted to know this exactly too. If the Gear s3 samsung pay works with rooted samsung phone this will be an instabuy for me. I'm quite hopeful since Samsung pay for gear s3 is supposed to work with non samsung phones which don't have knox to begin with.
Do let us know the answer when you find out for yourself! Would be very grateful.
I haven't received my Gear S3 yet, but I have a Gear S2 with Samsung Pay setup up in the Gear Manager (it's a separate app from the phone Samsung Pay app). It works perfectly on my rooted Note 4 (which doesn't run Samsung Pay itself), so I suppose it will work the same way after I get the S3.
I think it depends if your root method triggers KNOX. Samsung Pay looks to see if KNOX has been tripped and if it has, you can't add cards. Since you need to setup cards on your phone before you can use them on the watch, you won't be able to use Samsung Pay on the watch either.

Yes that's true for Samsung pay on samsung phones. Apparently however the gear s3 samsung pay uses a separate app on the phone.

That's a good sign. Do update us when you've had a chance to try on the s3!
I have a rooted Galaxy S5, I haven't been able to add a card through Gear Manager. Does it not work since I have a non-compatible samsung pay app phone or is it because its rooted? I heard that samsung pay won't work for android 4.4 and above till they release an update for samsung pay so I'm hoping that is why I can't add a card.
It seems to work with rooted phones. I have a rooted lg v20 and was able to install and set up samsung pay on the watch. I set it up with a card but havent tried it out on a terminal since its really late. But seems like it works perfectly.

I just updated the plugin app and was able to install Samsung Pay on my rooted Nexus 6. I have the T-mobile LTE Gear S3. I was also able to add three cards. Now I just need to make sure I can actually buy something.

That's great news! Would be perfect if anyone with a rooted Samsung phone (ideally one which would be able to run the phone SPay if it hadn't been rooted) could confirm this though. It's entirely possible though unlikely that the Gear SPay works differently on non-Samsung phones.

Samsung pay for the watch or phone? Also do you live somewhere where Samsung pay may not be available? Only reason I ask is because the way to root for the US versions doesn't trip Knox.
I have the international version with custom recovery Etc, knox is definitely tripped and I'm in the US. It won't install on the phone or the watch when paired to the phone.

You have the F firmware, the US international is the U firmware. Maybe you'd have to change your CSC to an area where Samsung pay works.

I have lost all respect for Samsung lately. (Not just because of this issue but with many other of their products added into the frustration) I have been tweeting and emailing with them on this issue for two weeks and depending on who you talk to, you get a totally different answer. Last Friday I got an email from someone claiming to be a developer for Samsung and he said SP on the Gear S3 is supported in US, Australia and Canada. All I had to do was click on the SP app in the Gear Manager and it would install. I sent a reply and said the SP app is not present in the Gear App. There reply was SP is not supported in Canada. When I replied and said they were wrong and that I have my CIBC card registered with SP on my phone and that it works, they said a new version of Gear Manager is coming and we will be able to install SP on our watch at that time. I asked them when this will happen and they won't tell me!! I'm not sure any of the information they sent me is true!!
Hey guys! I've been trying to get this watch since the day it came out. It's nowhere to be found at Best buy or the Samsung website. How did you get your watches?

I pre-ordered on BestBuy site before release. Even got 10% discount - found discount code for pre-order on Android Central
Well once more banks get supported up here I'm sure samsung will push out a software update enabling samsung pay on the watches. I'm not fussing over it yet since my bank isnt supported yet.

This app installs Samsung Pay into Gear Manager but not on the watch. If someone can get the app off the watch, we might be able to make this work.

Just wanted to know if you ever got his working? I'm a Canadian user with an S7 edge and I just sold my Canadian Gear S3 for the American version since I really wanted SPay on my watch.
Samsung Pay was also missing out of the box for me on the American Gear S3 but when I opened the Gear Manager Android app and went to Settings, there was a Samsung Pay icon. Tapping it then said, "Installing Samsung Pay", and it downloaded the following new Samsung Pay for Gear apk:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...msung-pay-gear-1-2-5202-android-apk-download/
I'd suggest trying the above apk. No clue why Samsung Pay wasn't in the watch OS out of the box.
I'm also curious to know if Canadian Gear S3 users can now use Samsung Pay in their watches with the above Apk? I believe it installs the corresponding Gear app. Not sure if it's the same apk previously posted. You also have to add your credit cards again in that app. It's different from the regular Android Samsung Pay phone app.
The US Gear S3 has an XML file that says to install SPay on the watch during installation. The same XML file says not to install SPay on other watches. If we could find a way to edit it, we would be in business

The XML file is on both watches but the US XML has different values. I would assume.installing a US ROM should fix the issue but not sure.

So today's update to Samsung pay on the Gear s3 has made it that my watch 's Samsung Pay not work anymore. When I launch it on my watch it says that it needs to update to work. When I press the update button, nothing happens. My guess is that it has to update the app in the galaxy store but since Samsung Pay is not officially out in Canada, it doesn't update. Anyone else who has an American Gear S3 with Samsung Pay have the same issue?

Hey Everyone
I have an S3 Frontier and US Unlocked s8+ both from Best Buy and have been at my wits end trying to get Samsung Pay to work on the damn watch. It works fine on the phone.
However, when I try to set Pay up to work on the watch, it keeps telling me to sign into Samsung Lay on the phone. When I go to the Gear app under settings, Samsung Pay is nowhere to be found. I've been reading the forums and it seems there are issues with international versions not working with other regions. However in my case, both devices are US.
Did Samsung leave out Samsung Pay out for S3 users with the unlocked phones? This is really frustrating!

I wish I could remember how the setup process worked. I have a Blackberry Priv (it is fully ANDROID) and it works. But I don't have a Samsung phone. If I recall, it was implemented in the Gear app on the phone. That's where I see it now. In the Settings Tab, below stuff like Apps, sent content, find my gear. Then there's S-health, S-Pay. Oh, USA, here. Watch purchased from Best buy. Phone from Verizon.

I have not followed the S-pay discussions in some of the other threads very carefully since it works for me. But maybe I recall that there might be some issue with Nougat (newest versions and S-pay??? You know the gray cells slip occasionally. I've read those threads but not in detail. There may be some reference to using earlier versions of Spay on the watch????
Sorry, I don't want to lead you astray!

Also, if you go into Gear app, see here where mine is shown.

I got my unlocked S8+ direct from Samsung a few days ago, Samsung Pay was setup and works fine. Tonight I tried setting up Samsung Pay on my S3... couldn't figure out why it wouldn't setup... I used it fine with my S7 Edge (previous phone).
Samsung Pay doesn't show up in the Gear app.

Ok, I figured I wasn't the only one here with that problem. I installed the new updated for the US Unlocked S8+ and am still having that problem. Ugh, super frustrating. Love the watch, just want the Samsung Pay feature to work without having to flashing a carrier CSC.
I bought my S7edge from dubai and gear s3 frontier from US. I flashed UK csc from sammobile. Samsung pay was activated on the phone on the day it was released in UK. SPay was available on gear when it was released in US. Only problem i faced on gear was Zipcode input was only numbers and couldnt input letters. So put 00000 and it worked. Im using spay on both phone and gear.
Here is what Samsung support said. I called Samsung Pay and they put in a ticket about my issue. Hope they release an update that allows the unlocked phone to work with the S3 Samsung Pay!!!
Thread on Samsung Support here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...p-Gear-S3-Samsung-pay-issues/m-p/122852#M8560
I suggest everyone with the same issue flood that forum!
Has anyone tried this from the unlocked firmware thread on the tmobile s8+ forum:

Step3: Launch Samsung Pay on Watch
Follow the instructions it will then update Samsung Pay for Gear and install successfully
Step4: Launch Samsung Pay on Watch it should ask you to setup your cards
Step5: Uninstall Samsung Pay (not the gear version)
Then reinstall from play store and update
Profit!!!!
Note I did this on a fresh install on both the watch and phone
Also I set phone up via LTE and not WiFi because you need to tell phone to not install samsung pay when that option comes up during setup...

Step1: Download/install but don't open this app

Step2: Download/install but don't open this app

Step3: Launch Samsung Pay on Watch
Follow the instructions it will then update Samsung Pay for Gear and install successfully
Step4: Launch Samsung Pay on Watch it should ask you to setup your cards
Step5: Uninstall Samsung Pay (not the gear version)
Then reinstall from play store and update

Just wanted to see what the files you linked were....but the Page does not exist.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...to/galaxy-s8-xaa-version-live-t3613013/page19
Use the links on page 19 of this thread, they are to slightly older versions of the pay and gear pay apps.

I can 100% confirm that this method is working. Just remember to use the links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72698788&postcount=188
And make sure you turn off Wifi and not to update during initial setup!!!
A new update for Gear Pay was pushed out to my phone today that solved the earlier issue of the pay app details not showing up in the main Gear app, which leads me to believe that the 955U1 has been completely whitelisted now. Note that my Gear Pay never stopped working since I moved from the VZW to the Official XAA unlocked firmware without erasing the data. Give it a shot folks.
So I feel like our complaints have been heard, new update pushed today that has it working as it should, no work around and I was able to update everything fully and still have samsung pay on my watch!!
Just downloaded the update. Good to know this has officially been fixed!!

I just received the update on my unlocked S8+ today a few hours ago. It does indeed fix the problem. Although I'm not at all impressed by the changes... even though I have cards added to the phone, I had to go through the ENTIRE process of registering cards to the watch... regardless of being able to select a picture of the card... you still have to do everything. Again.
