Samsung Pay on International Galaxy S6

I bought samsung galaxy s6 (920i version) on ebay to use on AT&T. I got a couple of ota updates so far, but I am wondering whether my s6 will get "samsung pay" app in over the air update. Mine is international model unlocked, so I was wondering what would happen next when samsung pay launches in the us. (Maybe samsung pay app will be on galaxy store?)

Samsung Pay is built-in to your S6. We only need to wait for its implementation on the vendor side.

But don't I need a software update to install samsung pay app (which definitely isn't present on my phone yet) on my phone? Samsung website on samsung pay says I will need a ota software update to install samsung pay on s6. What I am wondering is whether the update that will install samsung pay system will come to my phone, which is international galaxy s6 (920i)although samsung pay is only available in the us and korea.

Yes, you would need a service payment app. This will be available once vendors/credit card companies implement Samsung Pay.

Thanks for your reply! But do you think I will be able to download those apps even though mine (international -singapore version of s6) doesn't get those apps via ota update (as samsung says they will start the service only in us and korea?)

To be able to use it your local credit card company must 1st support it together with local vendors. As youe mentioned only US and south Korean markets will go 1st. If successful other markets including yours will follow.

Yes as I am in the United States, samsung pay will be supported from Sept 28th. On that day, carrier-branded phones (at&t/tmobile)will get software update that will install samsung pay system on their phones. But will my phone (unlocked international) get software update that will install samsung pay on Sept 28th?? That is exact question of mine... sorry for bugging but it is very important question for me thanks as always!

Call your US credit card company for details. I feel they can already answer most of your questions as the implementation date is near. It is they who will give you credit and use it thru your S6.

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
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.

If you don't get a OTA with Samsung Pay, you can probably install the APK from apkmirror or something like that. I would be surprised if Samsung Pay checks model number instead of carrier/location. If it is anything like Android Wallet/Pay, you can install and use it in the country where is active regardless of phone model number. I.e. I have used Android Pay in the US but I can not use it back in Denmark.

From what I've read, it's only built-in on the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+. The regular S6 and S6 edge will receive an ota update to enable it (I think this means the OTA will be Android 5.1.1). I am using the SM-G920i (seems to be the Australian version) on AT&T and I received the 5.1.1 update a few days ago. I did manage to download and install the APK from the Korean version of the site, signing in with my regular samsung account (same as on the phone) and just did a google translate on the page to find where I needed to tap to download the file. My cousin has the S6 on Sprint with OS v5.0.2 and the APK didn't install, so you definitely need to be on AT LEAST 5.1.1 for it to install.
Mine installed and runs, but won't go past the screen with the "start" button - I'm guessing b/c the beta hasn't activated in the US yet (which I think is slated for 8/28) with a full release in the US market on 9/25.

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.

Just bought an 920i on eBay. You guys get this working after the service went live?

I think the Samsung Pay need time till it reach the International Galaxy S6.

Nope, but in the same boat as you and several others here - got a 920i on AT&T here in the U.S. But seems that Samsung Pay comes bundled with an OS update that of course our handsets will not see as it is targeted to specific country\carrier handset variants. Hoping someone here figures out how to back the apks and associated frameworks off one of those working devices so we can perhaps apply them to ours.

I also have a Galaxy S6 G920i that I bought on e-bay. Mine came from Singapore. I thought I was smart by buying an locked phone. I thought for sure I'd get all the updates sooner that everyone else. FAIL! T-Mobile variants get most updates about a week or two before me.
What really sucks is one of the main reasons I wanted the S6 was samsung pay. Had I knew I was going to run in to this problem I would never have bought it.
I too use my G920i on AT&T and have been searching the web like crazy for a way to get Samsung pay to work on my phone. Has anyone had any success getting it to work on a G920i or G920f? If you have, please share your wisdom.

Any luck guys ? with samsung pay on s6 G920i?

EE and Samsung Pay?

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

Samsung Pay for Canada??

Did you guys have to install Samsung Pay on your watches? I can't find it on the watch and I can't find it in the store. I have it on my phone and have cards registered so why not the watch?

I don't see in Gear Manager either. It's the entire reason for this watch. It's going back to the store if Samsung Pay isn't happening or if Android Pay comes out first.

I called Samsung Pay support and they told me Samsung Pay isn't available in Canada. I told them they were incorrect as I have it on my phone already. I don't think he believed me but his comment was, we will see it in Canada when Samsung Pay is available??? I said, then it should be there already.

Since Samsung Pay already works in Canada, there should be a way to get it installed manually on the Gear S3.
Can someone with Samsung Pay on their Gear S3 extract the installer?

This issue is strictly location based. My phone is actually an AT&T G935A phone. It is unlocked, not rooted. I have it because I travel a lot into the US. I have a valid AT&T SIM and Canadian Roger SIM. I have installed the AT&T SIM and tried to reinstall Gear Manager and it still won't install Samsung Pay. During install, Gear Manager asks for permission to determine your location. If you deny it, Gear Manager won't initialize. My next trip to the US, I will try it again and see if Samsung Pay installs.

I tweeted SamsungPay and asked why we can't use SamsungPay with our Gear S3 in Canada. There response was that Canada is currently trialing SamsungPay and will get access to our S3's when it is officially released in Canada. I was not aware my access to CIBC was only a trial.

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.

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?

Samsung Pay On US Gear S3 and US Unlocked S8+ Not working

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!

I have a rooted international S8+ and I followed these steps and got SPAY working on the watch (but not on the phone). ANyway, have a look...

Did you setup Samsung Pay on your phone as the phone app? Make sure you're logged in there.
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...

Installed and opened app

On the watch side when holding back button to launch Samsung Pay says A new version avalible Samsung Pay must be updated to continue
Then says update in progress on phone but there's no update happening..
I'm still trying a few things to see if I can get it to work
Edit: I got spay for gears3 to work
Step1: Download/install but don't open this app
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B94...w?usp=drivesdk
Step2: Download/install but don't open this app
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B94...w?usp=drivesdk
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...

Just wanted to see what the files you linked were....but the Page does not exist.

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.
