samsung pay / google pay / A8 2018 - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

Anyone tried or make it work? Samsung pay or Google pay? On a8 2018? Samsung clearly states that a8 is compatible with pay but it cant be installed via play, google pay installs just fine but when i try to set it up for nfc it tells me that theres a problem and that phone is probably modified/rooted etc witch is not. So, is it useless for paying? Ideas?
thx

got it solved, for anyone who has a problem with google pay and phone is not rooted, disable oem unlocking, clear google pay app cache, reboot the phone and thats what did it did it for me, some people mention disabling usb debugging also but i didnt touch that

[Q] Rooted phone, now Wallet payments don't work

Hi. So a few weeks ago I rooted my Nexus 5. I had Google Wallet up and working fine before. However, I forgot to go in and disable everything before rooting. The problem is that when I tap and pay it always says "payment declined" and just doesn't work. I was reading that this might have broken the secure element or something. I've called and been in touch with Google to see if they could help me out buy that's not really going anywhere. Does anyone have any method of completely clearing out the Google Wallet cache or something? I can't even uninstall the app as it's built into the phone or ROM. Any help is much appreciated.
Go into settings, apps and clear it's cache, may have to clear data too

If I remember correctly you need to make sure that you authorize the phone to make payments even though you have broken Google's security. This is if I remember correctly it might be under Google settings. This thread may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696909.

Anyone know how to unistall updates to samsung pay framwork?

So i ended up udating the framewrok passed 2.5 and now i cant get samsung pay to work again. When i go to app setting there isnt a setting to unistall samsung pay framework updates. Just get the setting that says manage storage. if i try and sideload even the samsumg pay app i get a notification that all apps associated with this action have been blocked or what not. look like ill have to maybe factory reset the phone. phuuuhh.
I don't know why you got the update in the first place. Did you block samsung push and samsung galaxy with disable pro ?

Using Samsung Pay with my rooted OP7 pro

Hi everyone,
I tried to set up samsung pay on my Galaxy Watch. When I first installed it I got an error because my phone was rooted:
Unauthorized Modifications have been made to your device, Call Customer service for more info. (RD-FX)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I then went to Magisk Hide, hid it from the galaxy apps, relaunched it and it worked, I thought it was solved and closed it. When I relaunched it the next day I started getting the same error again and I can't seem to find a way to workaround it.
Any idea?
Thanks
Elias
Not sure if you're still having trouble with this or not, but I just figured it out. I hid root from all the apps, and then I also hid magisk from the settings of the app. Cleared data from samsung pay and then it worked fine.

Anyone tested Google pay?

Hi.
I got my phone yesterday and added my card successfully in Google pay. Tested it in two different stores today with contactless payment, but the terminal didn't even react.
I tested the nfc on my oneplus against my old huawei and at least it tries reading it, so that means the nfc is working I guess.
Have to add that I was using Google pay in these stores before with my old Huawei with no problems.
EDIT: SOLVED
I changed from SIM1 to Google pay in phone settings to make it work.
I have tested it 2 times, no problems. Phone was unlocked , display on
I tried to pay with Google pay twice yesterday. Both times the phone recognized i was trying to pay, but the payment did not get through. Tested with PayPal and CC both times.
Btw i am curious to know wether i have to open the power menu everytime i want to pay? Or does Google Pay still work from every screen?
Works for me everytime, although it says "not set up"
Worked for me when my BL was locked, working fine with unlocked BL and root. Even paid today.
Working... Rooted....

You need to Magisk Hide Google Pay. While you are at it hide root from everything Google.

I did. Still no work
Ok, strike that. Looks it's working now, but only after restarting the phone. Safetynet failed before restarting and now it passes.
Did some more testing today. Tried for an extended period in the store today with no luck. It's not even reacting. Phone is not rooted btw and I unlock the screen when I try it. I try to open the app when doing it also.
I tried pairing my headset with nfc and that works flawlessly.
So weird
Edit: just found this settings. Think that could be it? (See picture)
I too, am experiencing issues with Google Pay. At first, I thought it was my bank card needing my bank to ok it for Google Pay on the new phone. But then my Walgreens points card didn't work either-so it's definitely NFC or Google Pay oriented. I have everything setup correctly. How annoying and weird...
Changing the settings from SIM1 to Google pay made it work, so problem solved!

Samsung Galaxy Pay doesn't work on Gear S2 Classic connected to Galaxy S20 Plus 5G

Hello everyone,
I've been searching trying to find a fix for this, but I can't seem to find one that works for my combo. If I missed something, please point me in the right direction. I have a Galaxy S2 Classic (SM-R735T) that I obtained from a friend because they don't use it anymore, and I'm able to get everything working on it except for one thing. I can't get Samsung Pay to work on it. I've tried doing a factory reset on the watch, removing all three apps (Galaxy Wearables, Samsung Pay, and Samsung Pay (Watch Plug-in)) from my phone and reinstalling them, multiple restarts, and I just can't get it to work.
Here are the versions I have listed for both Samsung Pay apps, and they seem to be fully updated.
Samsung Pay: 4.0.45
Samsung Pay (Watch Plug-In): 2.5.18.20106
Basically, I can get the phone and watch paired, and everything else seems to be working beautifully. Samsung Pay when I use it on my phone works wonderfully. But, when I try to open it on my watch, it tells me I need to log in to the app on my phone.. I click okay, and it starts to open Samsung Pay on my phone. It then pops up with the first attached screenshot, saying I need to update Samsung Pay. I click update, it downloads and tries to install the Samsung Pay update to what I believe is the watch (see the second screenshot to see the notification), but it winds up failing during the install. Has anyone been able to figure out a work around for this. The only thing I can think of is it seems this model of watch was released specifically for T-Mobile, but I'm trying to use it on Verizon. I'm not sure that would matter though as I do everything through Bluetooth and the phone.
