US GS3 w/Samsung Pay in Canada

I picked up a GS3 frontier while visiting the US. It has Samsung Pay pre loaded. I cannot get it to work because, it will not recognize my Canadian address? Any solutions?

Is it the postal code that causes the issue or can you not*even type in your physical address?

When I put Samsung Pay on my phone I had the same issue. I just put*a US ZIP code in and noticed CIBC didn't*seem to care what I put. Try putting in a US ZIP and see if that works. 90210 for instance.

Non-LTE. The LTE (e-sim) are not supported in Canada.

Thank you! Is it necessary to have any connection between Samsung pay on smartphone and Samsung pay on SG3? I have S7 edge SM-935F and Samsung Pay doesn't work in Canada although I flashed it with German DBT Firmware. I don't know why because some people wrote that it should work, but it is another problem. Could you clarify please, will Samsung pay on SG3 work without any connection with Samsung pay in smartphone?

I'm sorry for meticulousness ). Does Gear Manager add card to Samsung pay on smartphone or directly to Samsung pay on SG3? In other words, is Samsung pay on SG3 able to work without Samsung pay on Smartphone?

I am told that SP works with rooted phones so the answer to your question would be yes, SP on the watch should work without SP on your phone. The issue you need to address is, does the Gear S3 that you own have the SP app already installed? Not all Gear S3's come with the app installed. At this time, only US, Australia and Singapore watches come with it pre-installed. My Canadian watch does NOT have this installed. There is no way that I am aware of that you can*sideload it either. At least I haven't figured it out.

You can pay with a watch without samrtphone, but add a card in watch will not work without a smartphone.
Sorry for my bad english.

Can your extract the samsung pay from your watch so the rest of us can sideload it?

Newbie here, but I'm looking to buy a refurbished GS3 Frontier that's been factory reset. The watch is in US, and I'm in Canada (yes, I'm polite too ). Will the watch work in Canada? I'm running on 4G/LTE from Public Mobile on my S7 Edge.

How to make samsung pay in UK work on gear s3 classic from Hong kong

Hello I'm waiting on delivery of my gear s3 classic. I brought it from a site in Hong Kong and I want to use samsung pay in uk. I've seen other threads but all from 2017 so wondering if anyone can help me with new and updated ways/links.
Should I update the watch when I get it or leave it on stock firmware to make it easier?
I'm a noob on this so step by step would be great.
Thanks in advance guys :good:

nothing new, i also want to use sspay in vietnam,my watch is R775A.. in vietnam, sspay only support visa card, napas doesnt support.. i have an idea, flash combine files then change csc with your location csc

USA sm-r720 in Canada?

If I buy a US version Gear S2 sm-r720 (or 30 or 35), will I be able to use it easily without flashing or modding to use it in Canada with Samsung Pay since it will already be written to have CSC XAR?
Maybe @adpost knows?
Thanks XDA!

S3 Frontier (SM-R765v) new user. Few questions...

Hello everyone, hope you are all well during this pandemic.
New to this part of xda as i just got a s3 frontier in the mail today. Good price from China
Only thing is, i am in the UK and it is a r765v model. After a little bit of digging around here i believe this is a US Verizon model. Tried changing the CSC and only have VZW as an option.
Is there any way to "debrand" this so to speak with any stock firmware/combination firmware via netodin to have more available CSC's? Ideally i'd like to change it to XAR or BTU or am i stuck with this "verizon" model?
Current software on it is R765VVRU1CSD6
Appreciate the help

CSD6 Firmware for study...
https://www.file-upload.net/download-14091066/R765VVRU1CSD6.7z.html
Yes, US Verizon Model...
IMHO no XAR nor BTU for these LTE devices...
I can not remember LTE Gear S3 for UK...
Code:
Korea
USA
New Zealand
Singapore
No idea about your skills...
But with Gear S3 LTE you are far away from easy change to other country... including eSIM..
Best Regards

Appreciate the fast reply!
I will have a play ? i was not too fussed really about changing the csc just wanted the latest tizen update ?
Regards
Matt

Is it possible to make samsung pay work in another country?

Hello everyone! I got the note 20 ultra in another country where samsung pay isn't supported(i didn't care because it isn't supported in my country either).
But now it is supported (perfect timing), but still isn't supported in origin country where i bought it. I've tried factory resetting with sims installed to trigger region change, didn't work(although 2 sims was installed from different countries, it could be an issue, but I'm tired of resetting the phone and guessing).
Then I tried installing my countries firmware from sammobile.com using odin. It went horrible, odin was stuck 60% at super.img and my phone turned to a brick. But installing original firmware worked and I've managed to restore my phone.
When downloading the samsung pay app from play stores it check for compatibility and then says that it is coming soon.
Tried to download it from galaxy store, but the app isn't there.
Is there anything I can do to make it work here? Am I stuck with samsung phone that doesn't support samsung pay?

You're stuck, at least as far as the phone is concerned (more on that in a minute). Samsung Pay is apparently driven by the point-of-sale country CSC, which you can't change. I have the same issue with my S9+ SM-N9650, which is TPA (Panama) even though I booted it up with a Canadian SIM. As you mentioned, the Samsung Pay app from the Play Store will check for availability (based on the point-of-sale CSC) and then inform you if Samsung Pay is available based on its availability in that country - so you won't be able to use it on the phone until it is.
I get around this by using it on my Gear S3, which has a Canadian CSC, and therefore Samsung Pay, and links to the Wearables app on the phone. I actually prefer using Samsung Pay on my watch, so the availability on my phone is a non-issue for me (except for the fact you can't add debit cards to the watch). That said, one of the reasons I ordered my Note20 Ultra from Hong Kong is that they have Samsung Pay there, so it will work on the phone, which is a plus.

Oh, no...
So if sometime in the future samsung pay will become supported in the country where I bought the phone, I'll be able to change the region of samsung pay and start using it?
And I didn't understand about that I can't add debit cards to the watch, do you mean you can only use credit cards? Cause I don't use credit cards.
God, I switched to android again after 8 years of using ios, last android phone was galaxy s(it's funny how this forum kept my account for all these years). And only thing I'm missing so much is apple pay.

No, you will never be able to change the region for Samsung Pay. Folks can use Samsung Pay on the Hong Kong Note20 Ultra because it is available in Hong Kong - but it is the Hong Kong version of Samsung Pay.
And that's correct - at least here in Canada on the Gear S3 (YMMV for newer watches and other countries - suggest you check Samsung's website for what's available on a given watch in your country), you can only use credit cards in Samsung Pay on the watch.

Other users have successfully added a wide variety of cards even though they are not Hong Kong based. That said, in my experience, some cards (particularly debit cards) won't work in Samsung Pay from another country. Suggest you check out the thread on the Hong Kong Note20 Ultra for more info.

I live in Japan, use US debit card and credit cards on HK N20U... Samsung Pay works just fine... It is the HK version but no issues using it... Samsung Pay is based off of the phone's original country... As far I know there is not a way to flash and change it
