Does anyone happen to know if Samsung is planning to cover the Samsung Galaxy s6 under their protection plus plans ? http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/P-GT-AKXXS0HC
It seems as of now they only are covering up to s5 their plan is far better than what my carrier offers and I fear the carries have gotten to Samsung and asked them to not cover their latest flagship phones.

Looks like I just needed to wait longer. you can now purchase the plans off Samsung website http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/protection-plan

Is that only available in the US? Im in the UK, sounds good.
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?

Nope. No SamsungPay for unlocked versions like ours.

You need to wait until Samsung and your carrier enables it for you.

Can i call att and ask them to enable it or threaten them that i will leave them for tmobile? (my contract is up and I can leave them anytime without paying penalty?)
The at&t version i got has a locked bootloader so no root. Im so used to rooting all my android phones for various reasons. I know the s6 active has root. Should I just return the s7 and get an s6 active?
I returned my S7 Edge two days ago and reactivated my beautifully rooted S5. No regrets. I'll pickup the S7 again if it gets root (unless I have another new rooted phone by then).
Return the att s7 and take a road trip to canada and buy the exynos version up there.

Hi guys, I bought off ebay a Galaxy s7. Following videos it "appears" to check out, the interface, "cpu's" shows correct cpu/display resolution, etc, the Sim card/micro sd holder is.... correct.... The only thing I notice different on mine is that on the back it says Galaxy s7 as well as the samsung writing on the back, I googled it and I see some google images show the same as what I have, mean while some just say Samsung on the back, perhaps that was the early first set of review phones being that way? This phone is a "sprint sm-G930P".
Just wanting to double, tripple check before the return time has come and gone, Thanks! :good:
I have a T-Mobile G7, it says Samsung under the camera and Galaxy S7 below that. I pre-ordered mine from T-Mobile, so it is genuine.

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.

I thought the S6 was the oldest phone that would work with Samsung pay? At least so it states on their site

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.

Thank you for your reply. Looked it up on their website seems like it shouldn't be a problem. Put it on order can't wait to get it
