im in the uk with a gear 3 frontier and s8 plus ,I'm confused re samsung pay or android pay
can i get android pay on my watch ?
is samsung pay available in uk?
many thanks
In short, no and no.
There is no android pay app for the S3 and the latest rumours are that Samsung pay will launch some where around 16th May but that is purely that, a rumour. It will come at some point this year so it's a waiting game for us Brits at the moment.
Samsung pay UK just installed on my s3 frontier today
Errrrr pause!

Until the actual banks support it, it's just another waste of memory on your phone/ watch :/

Then you're clearly not another grumpy RBS/ NatWorst customer (like me).
We had to wait MONTHS for Android Pay and there's no commitment for them to support SamPay...

I have the classic non-4g version of the Gear S2 (SM-R732) and I'm still on R732XXU2BPA4. I have been seeing news and posts about updates (R732XXU2CPB7 and R732XXU2CPC5) for the past month, but still have yet to receive either update. I chatted with Samsung and they told me my serial is invalid (despite buying the watch directly from them). So I'm curious, is there something wrong with my watch or have these updates not rolled out to everyone yet?
I also have original classic non-4g and am still on BPA4 as well. I live in the U.S. In fact I only got this update some weeks ago.

Thanks for this confirmation. I was beginning to think I was the only one. I suspect the update for the US classic non-4g version just hasn't been rolled out yet.
Any others in the same boat?
Same here for the classic non 4g

Nothing for me either. In Northern VA
I've got this update ( R732XXU2CPC5 ) today in Germany.
Still on BPA4 as well here in Utah. I didn't know there was another update coming!?
The promised samsung pay functionality would be nice.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?

See my response in the relevant thread
I received the R732XXU2CPC5 update this morning
Just got R732XXU2CPC5 here in Northeastern US (original classic, non-3g/4g).
Same here! Thanks for the updates.
Wow. Awesome. It enabled Samsung Pay, said absolutely no one.
My Galaxy Apps app just updated too (new interface, no new content akaik). Let's hope that all these updates are about more than tweaks (e.g., airplane mode), and are laying the foundation for some bigger additions, like Samsung Pay or iOS compatibility.
Someone should do a poll: when do you think Samsung Pay for the Gear S2 will come out? In two weeks? In December, 2016? Or will they decide it's too hard and give up, i.e., never?

Didn't the T-Mobile version just get an update that said something about Samsung Pay? I don't think it was officially enabled, but I suspect Samsung put the update on the watch in place and they just have to unlock it via the phone app now?
I swear the update for my s2 sport at&t 3g just got an update like 2 weeks ago that said samsung pay was part of the update? Still nothing on watch about samsung pay and neither in pay settings on phone.
Mine was updated to r720xxu2cpc5 yesterday. I don't know why mine begins with 720 instead of 730. And after the update my gear s2 isn't even lasting a day. I charged it full in the morning and at 6pm battery was dead. I usually only leave bluetooth on, turning off the wifi. I hope they'll fix it soon. Or maybe my watch has hardware issue?

Yours begin with 720 instead of 730 because you have the Bluetooth version of the watch instead of the 3g/4g version

Hey guys, old news perhaps but
apparently the Gear S2 and Samsung Pay is in closed beta..
looks like it will get much better for our cousins across the pond but no cigar for us folks in the UK..

Nah, Samsung wins, Samsung Pay has MST and NFC. Hopefully the S2 has MST capabilities though.

Well, hopefully the S3 has MST then. Although by then, most retailers should have NFC.

The only way for our current watch to work is like you tried to use on your old note (nfc). Samsung s6 and up have mst which allows samsung pay to work so flawlessly because nfc doesn't work sometimes. Samsung should of put mst in our current watch honestly from the get go. When Google wallet came out (2011), it worked but most of the time it didnt, not like samsung pay today
There is an app on the galaxy apps store

Where I have looked everywhere
Either Samsung have given up or too many issues in the launch markets to date, still nothing in the UK.
From a marketing perspective, pretty much every retailer has the Apple Pay logo, a few the Google, i tried using my Barclays version with varying success, it failed to work at one retailer to which the sales rep said, ah you don't have an iPhone.
I just installed the beta app after getting a notification on my s2

I received a notification this morning also that Samsung Pay for Gear was ready for download. I'm guessing it's part of the public rollout. Haven't downloaded it yet, but will when I get time. Will report back.
(EDIT) The notification was for the Beta version, so I guess it's not the official rollout yet. I may still try it, IF I can find one of my cards that it supports!
Got it, got excited ... but none of my cards will register, same cards registered on my phone won't go through for the watch.
Lame
I had to call my bank twice to verify. Did it once and an hour later I reset the watch app and tried again. Went through in seconds that time. Haven't tried it out yet.
Just saw the update popped up on my Gear S2 today. Installed the app and registered a card. :good:

Is never coming to the UK is it. They've been promising us for 2 years and still nothing. I've been holding out rooting my phones just for this but might as well go wild now!

Yeah... I'm also in the same position. Though they said they will release it in 2017... But they said the same thing last year so I really don't know.
I just want to avoid the thing that I would root, get a custom rom, whatever I want and the week after they would announce it...
Though...... I'm used to Android Pay so much that I probably don't even care anymore lol. When I'll feel like it, I'll probably just mod the sh*t out of my phone.

Android Pay doesn't use MST so it's useless as most places don't have contactless.
And besides, Barclays' own contactless mobile app is a lot better than Android Pay.

I agree that Samsung Pay would be best generally, and am also eager to use it in the UK however I disagree when you say most places don't have contactless here. Don't know which part of the UK you're in but here in Essex, it's hard to find somewhere that doesn't have contactless

In the UK? Are you kidding. I reckon 80% of shops in the UK have contactless and Android pay has worked every time I've used it....
I Don't see how Samsung Pay improves that?

In UK Samsung pay will only work on NFC enabled terminals as UK banks have refused to let Samsung Use MST for security reasons. So, you are actually not missing anything.

Why do you think they will port that soon? Tho I do expect someone to port it.
No way I'm giving up MST payments.

Biggest reason I bought this watch. When I had to return my Note 7 I replaced it with a Moto Z Force. Losing Samsung Pay was the biggest issue, this watch solved that.
If you active Samsung pay you get 1300 points. You can redeem 1,000 points for a free S-View case.
I made this on the S8+ forum also. I don't know if duplicate posts across forums are allowed.
That is the galaxy S7 S-View case from what I see.

Oh wow, you're right. My bad
so you cant get anything with the points?
Soo.... its not 1300 just for samsung pay.
Its that you get 1000 for having preordered the S8 after you do the whole promo. Then you get 300 after you add a card.
I have 1300 now.
Oh and you get 300 more points if you make your 1st purchase using it.
I used 1200/1300 of my points trying to win a Gear S3 watch (100pts/each turn). Nothing :sad:
When I try to login, gave me "error connecting to server".

May not be available where you are. But when I started using S8, an image of a card kept popping up from the bottom. Also, Samsung Pay can be downloaded from Galaxy Apps store.
I saw an update for Samsung Pay last night and it's for added support for S8 and S8+. I'm already using Samsung Pay on my S6, so... I doubt I'm eligible for that offer. D: Thought it was for new users only.

Oh really? I figured it would only for the new people who've never used Samsung Pay before and pre-ordered, not for those who've already used Samsung Pay on previous phones and did the pre-order. Guess we'll find out tomorrow when I get my device and test it out myself, haha.

Good to know. Glad that the offer extends to current Samsung Pay users.
Hm, I just activated it and I only got 1000 points. Still have got platinum status though.
EDIT TO ADD: Oh, just noticed that you have to purchase stuff after you activate it. That's how you get extra points.
Have 1300 points. 1000 for activating and 300 for adding a card
