where did Samsung pay go? - Samsung Gear S3

I've had this watch for a few months using it with my Pixel XL and Samsung pay has been working fine since I got it. Recently it hasn't been working and every time I open the gear app I get a message saying Samsung pay has stopped working. I tried resetting the watch, uninstalling everything related to it from my pixel and set it up as if it was new. Now there isn't even an option for Samsung pay in the gear app and holding the back button does nothing. Does anyone know why it disappeared?

Story to go in setting in the gear app on the phone and school down to the bottom of the app. Also where are you located too?

I'm in the U.S. I did hear that the international version doesn't support Samsung pay but it's definitely a U.S version. And it's not in the settings of the gear app. Pretty much everywhere there used to be something about Samsung pay it's now missing from.

That's really odd too that shouldn't happen. Can you try to download samsung pay apk for gear watch online and see if that works
Here https://www.sammobile.com/apk/samsung-pay-for-gear/samsung-pay-for-gear-1-4-1404/
If your rooted use an older version like 1.2 and see if that works

Installing the APK didn't work. I'm not rooted but I do have the beta of Android O installed. Maybe that has something to do with it

Oh well that could most definitely cause that not to work as samsung pay isn't made for that version of Android right now

Oh well. Hopefully Samsung will update it soon to be compatible.

I just downgraded back to Nougat and can confirm that the beta version of Android O is what broke Samsung pay. So just a warning to anyone who has a gear S3 and wants to try Android O, you won't be able to use Samsung pay.

App Failed to install

I have had some limited success installing apps. I got the sleep one to install (b4 they took it off the market) and a clockface. But any others I try just download and give me the app failed to install. (news feeder and the 360 one) everything else is working on My gear 2. Not a huge deal now as I am just testing it out, there are no good apps out yet. But I was trying to get it straight before the avalache of awesome apps starting coming in im sure here real shortly right. Anyone had similar issues?
I never had the gear 1 or followed it, how long before we got root and cool support/apps for it. anyone know? Of course this being one of the first Tizen products I would expect it to take longer.

Samsung Pay Beta Testers

With today's announcement of Samsung Pay's impending release in the US, I was wondering how one might get involved in the beta testing. According to The Verge, " 'select US users' will be able to take part in a beta test beginning on August 25th." Any way to sign up to be one of those "select users" or will they hand it out semi-randomly?
Sorry. I'm guessing this should be in Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
No clue. Didn't really mention anything so id say its invite only. Unfortunately mum is the word for Canada overall

I hear ya. I've resisted doing a full root (did pingpong) to see how this would turn out. When I upgraded in April it was this feature that made me go for the S6 instead of the Note 4. I'm hoping someday someone somewhere will find away to have both root and Samsung Pay. For now, I'm just keeping my options open until I can decide if it's worth it.

I chatted with support and they have no info whatsoever. Good luck. Let us know what you find out.
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
I've only been able to get the Korean link to load. Once I log in with my Samsung account, I can download and install the apk, it even runs, but doesn't go past the start button.....I tried changing the settings for which app is used for tap and pay, and I even changed the advanced nfc settings. Nothing.
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.

You can install but have not been able to get it to open. So can't tell if its in Korean or not. The US link is dead.
I signed into the following link with my Samsung account and was able to download an apk. Will not install for me though, probably because i'm not on 5.1.1

It is in english from what I can tell and if your on 5.1.1 it lets you install it. However, so far all I can do it push the start button and nothing happens.

Your normal samsung account? Or did you get a korean account?
Normal Samsung account. The Korean website uses the same login and account you just have to translate everything with Google translate it guess what your clicking until you get to the .apk file, but the Samsung account and ID are forsure the same.
I got it installed with the apk i downloaded with my samsung account on 5.1.1, but it doesn't do anything when trying to launch it.

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.

The Sprint S6 just received a firmware update today that specifies that the update includes a new feature named 'Samsung Pay'. Once the update completes I'll check out the Samsung Plus app to see if I can join the beta.
Update: Samsung Pay app available, but it's just an advertisement saying Welcome and that it is coming soon. I found nothing in the Samsung Plus app for signing up for the Samsung Pay beta either. Tick tock...
Ya i got the ota today as well. Theres an icon and when u open it there is just info on it. No option to set it up.
Whats the difference between samsung pay and google wallet?
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
Samsung pay supports both NFC and MST. Google wallet, Android Pay, and Apple pay only support NFC. Samsung has the only phones that supports MST. Basicly, it means you can use your phone to pay even when the store has old outdated terminals.

How do you make the store show all items?

I apologize if it has been asked, but I couldn't find anything on it. I have an LG V10 and I know Samsung users get the "full" store. For example, my friend has the same watch but has a Note 4 and he can download the Pip Boy watch. Is there any way to install the Samsung version of the store, or an I just out of luck?

That's really unfortunate. I thought for sure it was a Samsung/non-samsung issue. I guess I'll have to wait it out in hopes of an update to the store ?
Hi,

This way I can select different region/country. then open the samsung Gear apps and see if there are any 'extra apps'

I didn't touch anything. Saw i had a new notification and that is what popped up. It says to push and hold back button to install samsung pay. When i do that it opens galaxy apps on my phone (note 5) and i get a message stating app is unavailable. Going to l go to the store tonight or tomorrow and try it to see what happens.
Hmmmm....Hopefully this is finally an end to the extremely slow rollout
Nothing

I got the same message. The app is installed on my watch (Gear S2 Classic Platinum with Bluetooth). My phone is a S7 Edge. I get the "This app is not available for your device. (com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear.2290:4002)" error message. Check occasionally, to see if there is an update to the phone app, but so far nothing. BTW, I have been using Samsung Pay, on the S7 Edge from the day I received it, and it works fine.
Can't they just not make it to where you can select, either Samsung Pay or Android Pay???
Here we go!
Ok. Got this far anyway. So disappointed.

I finally found Samsung Pay Beta app, but sadly I got the same error. Gear S2 Classic Bluetooth/Wi-Fi in USA here.
I haven't gotten the watch firmware update yet, but my Gear app on my Note 4 phone just started showing a new link to "Samsung Pay Beta." Clicking on it (so far) gets an error message: "this app is not available for your device."
where do I download app?
New update. Won't let me add any of my Wells Fargo cards at this time, but it would let me add my Amazon Chase Visa. Going to give it a try here in a little bit. Wish me luck!

Before I buy, will OP6 work with Samsung gear S3 100%?

I have a S7 that will be replaced soon and I rather have a OP6 than a S9, but it has to work with my Gear S3 and use all it's functions like Samsung pay, phonecalls, Samsung health. Also that the Bluetooth can handle 2 Connie tons at the same time like bt audio in my car/Sony bt headphones.
all exept samsung pay will work. having op6 or s9 to decide, i wouldn't even consider s9..
Haven't tested samsung pay but everything else is working fine on mine.
I get my op6 Tuesday, and one of the first things I'll do is set up my gear s3. I'm really hoping Samsung pay will work. According to some initial research, it's seems possible. Lots of mixed results. I'll definitely come back with some results next next week.
I have a Bluetooth Gear S3 classic and an OnePlus 6. Everything works (Samsung pay included) though I had to use apkmirror to download the Samsung Pay (gear plug-in) app.

Yeah looked like from what I read you have to have the "plug-in" app, but I thought you could get it from the playstore. Did it not show up in the playstore?
Edit: now that I think about it, it's all done through the Samsung gear app. However others have had the same issue where the plug-in fails to install. In which case the solution is as Dennis says above.
yeah I don't think Number Sync will work but via Bluetooth it will, My Gears S2 works so the S3 should be fine via Bluetooth

It was not on the play store for me, but apkmirror is run by the Android police guys and is reliable. They even show when the signature for a file is the same as on the play store (which it is for everything I've come across).

Been using my Gear S3 (Frontier) with no problems at all. Works very well thus far - enough to get me to dump my Apple Watch finally.
Now to find a way to replace the stupid 1+ phone app and this is a keeper for sure.
I have a 5t and a gear s3.
Everything works fine calls etc. Samsung pay is the hardest to get working. I had to install the apk from apk mirror. Also if yous ever chnage roms use titanium backup to backup every samsung app and its services or the watch will need to reset itself.
Btw if u root. Use magisk hide to hide all the samsung apps.
Fyi use google messages so u can reply on the watch. And if u can/want use googles phone app.
Thank you for all your input!
Now I can go agead and order the phone:good:

Hey mate. I tried installing this on my oneplus 6 , the apk file installs fine but when I open it I get the following error message.
''Unable to continue using samsung pay, your gear may not be supported.''
Was it the oneplus 6 you managed to get this working on ? or was it a different model.

I got that message too and several errors trying to reach the server but eventually it'll work. Try uninstalling samsung pay plugin, gear app and factory reset on the watch, then download both apps on the phone, pair with the gear app, when you install the smasung pay plugin using the apk, tap on update and then add your cards
I hear that it's better then it was but still can be flaky. Just gotta play some games to get it to wrok right I guess. Gonna wait for the new S4 watch that is ditching Tizen OS and finally going with Android Wear OS.

OnePlus 6. Find the 1.5 apk and install that.
Worked for me. Newer versions tended to give me errors like you did.
Been using samsung pay for the past month successfully. Extra bonus, the 1.5 apk has limited compatibility with the samsung gear app unlike later versions. A nice bonus is if safetynet fails(ie: magisk failed to hide it), samsung pay on the watch still works flawlessly.

I don't know if Samsung pay will work or not because I have a rooted op6 phone, and I know it doesn't work very well with rooted phones. I finally just broke down and bought a Galaxy S5 for 75 bucks on eBay and I have it plugged in at home 24/7. I used to set up my watch and Samsung pay and since it's a Samsung phone it works 100% over the internet. Non-samsung phones require a Bluetooth connection with their host phone to work with all of the features. So my Samsung phone at home connects with my gear S3 watch over the internet no matter where I am. it works like a champ for me and I'm not having to wipe my watch and reset it up every 3 days because I'm messing around with my Op6. I have been thinking about trying to get at work I'm going to be 6 just for grins and if I do I will report back here lol.
I have been using the gear S3 frontier with the op6 from the beginning, I've had the phone since launch, and everything works 100%.
Use magisk hide so Samsung pay works on one plus.
I have the Gear S3 Frontier with a Oneplus 6T that just arrived yesterday.
Everything was downloaded and installed by the Google Play store.
It works just like it did on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Now I'm wondering if Samsung Pay will detect if I root or not. I did not take this chance on my Galaxy Note 5
