S7 and Samsung gear vr offer india - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I purchased s7 yesterday. I saw ads that in India new phone purchasers can get gear vr for Rs. 1990/-
But how do I claim this offer. It is not showing my galaxy app. Anyone knows about it?

Samsung pay on S2

Does anyone have it working or know what's going on with it. All I have found was it was supposed to be working in November. Any ideas on it?

I emailed Samsung about it a month ago and they said first quarter of 2016. So as late as March 2016.

Yeah, probably will come enabled on Gear S3 and never on S2, so you have to buy a Gear S3. This is Samsung's marketing strategy.
Just bought the gear s2 classic T-Mobile and it has tap and pay pre-installed is this what you guys are asking about

Where are you located? I don't have that on my non-classic WiFi S2. Maybe it is only for the 3g models for now? I'm in the US outside of DC
I'm in Houston Texas. I noticed the software version is slightly different from the original gear s2

Are you able to use your T-mobile s2 classic to make purchases at NFC enabled terminals? We all have a "tap and pay" option listed under settings/connections/nfc, but so far, it does not work because Samsung has yet to enable the service with a firmware update (which it originally said would be enabled last fall, but then announced it had been pushed back to some time in 2016).
If yours actually works to buy things, that would be big news.
This is what it says so I guess not.

(Q) Does Gear S3 Samsung Pay work with Note 3 or Note 4?

Can anyone who owns both a Note 3 (or Note 4) and a Gear S3 tell me if Samsung Pay works on the Gear S3?

The Note 4 may be a fossil but it is the latest ( official ) Note available in the UK.
The Note 5 got skipped and the Note 7 has it's own story.

I have a new phone already - GS7E. I'm asking for a friend.
With that said, I can confirm that Samsung Pay on the Gear S3 does indeed work with both the Note 3 & Note 4.

Gear S3 on Galaxy S4

I am thinking about turning in my note 7 in fear that Best Buy will set a deadline on full refunds for the phone. In order to keep me from being sad when doing so I'm gonna switch it for a gear s3. I was curious will Samsung pay on the watch work with the Galaxy S4 and all the other features along with it?

You should be able to use all the features as far as I'm aware.

If a Note 3 works, I think the GS4 should as well.

For Samsung Pay on the Gear S3, I have verified that a Note 3 & Note 4 both work. Samsung Pay on the phone only, a GS6 & later is required.

Does it show Samsung pay through the settings page at the bottom of the gear app? That's were I was able to install samsung pay for my watch as it didn't show Samsung pay on the gear main page of the app when I got my watch and that's how I was able to install it.

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?
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA-Developers mobile app
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.

The same problem!
I ordered a US gear S3; Samsung pay on the watch works here! I used APK extrator to pull the samsung pay app. Do any of you guys want to try it out? No guarantees that it'll work though but it's a try?

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.

Spay app is already on the watch. It comes pre-installed but gets enable/disable based on CSC.

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

If it's an XML file that's only on US Gears, then shouldn't it work if we install a US rom on Canadian watches?

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?

SamsungPay CH getting installed instead of SamsungPay UK

Hi,
I had officially (official Samsung reseller) bought my Galaxy S6 when I was living in Switzerland. I now live in UK.
Today I wanted to setup SPay so I have upgraded to Nougat and automatically Samsung installed the Samsung Pay app on my Galaxy S6 but i cannot for the love of god manage to find how to install it on my Gear S2. the option is simply NOT THERE.
Also I just realised that when I go in the Galaxy Apps it says "SamsunPay CH" ...
I have successfully added a UK card though.
I think this is why in my Gear S2 settings there is no option for Spay... because of the samsung Pay country version..
Can anybody tell me how to manually switch to SamsungPay UK ? Or can anyone give me the UK samsung pay apk I can try install it myself?
thank you

After searching it appears that clever samsung didn't actually release Samsung Pay for any Gears in the UK.
No ETA announced... this probably means never

You can find the apk online somewhere instead of installing the app from playstore.
Do a Google search for:
"SamsungPay.apk UK"
Then go to system settings>security and turn on "allow unknown sources"
Then manually install the app from the apk that you downloaded.

Even if you install the Samsung pay gear manually when you try to lunch it it says "This gear is not compatible"

Change the phone's CSC code to "UK" should be worth a try.
