Hello!
If I am living in an unsupported country Google pay app probably by default won't be visible inside the watch? (the same thing was with Samsung pay on Galaxy Watch 3). Or does this model already has a pre-installed Google pay app in all regions and we just need to have a valid credit card?
If not, is it possible somewhere to change the region of the watch or better purchase the UK/DE version instead of my countries version?
Thanks!
No, Google pay isn't preinstalled.
Will it be possible to install it like on mobile device and use it?
I am also living in unsupported country but it I can user google pay on mobile phone with apk installation...
Could be possible..

On mobile APK installed working without any problems, but how you can install it on the Wear OS app, not from the app store, it is possible somehow to upload it like on the phone? (sorry for the newbie questions, it will be my first Wear OS watch.
I tried sideloading the GPay app to the Watch via ADB and its working!
I'm from Portugal and it let me add my Revolut card with no issues.
I've not tried to pay with it yet but at least GPay is opening and showing the card.
I'll update tomorrow when i try.

I might have jumped the gun on this one. After a few hours the Watch disables GPay, and its has to be enabled again via Samsung Wearable. When this happens I can no longer select GPay as a payment method in NFC settings. I'll keep investigating, but it seems its not a permanent solution...

Hi! Could you please share the Gpay version that you've used and also the region set on your watch? I've tried sideloading multiple Gpay versions and while I was able to install it, it always crashes when I try to open it. Really curious to learn more about your particular setup.
After changing my watch's region to UK and sideloading this version of Google Pay to it, I was finally able to make it work (I'm in the Netherlands, where it's not officially supported on wearabels).
Were you able to pay with it?
I set mine Watch's region to Germany and sideloaded the Gpay app on the phone. I was able to add a N26 card (it didn't pick up the existing card I had), but after a while it simply was not in my watch's app drawer anymore. I was able to re-enable it in the Galaxy Wearable app and tried to pay with it, which failed (could have been the store I was at).
But now the Gpay app is gone again and I'm unable to re-enable it heh.
Ok. Installed gpay via adb, configured my visa. No problem or error until now. Later I will try to pay with my watch and see what happens.
After few hours gpay app is gone from my watch, and can't push it back via adb. Adb says "succes" but it doesn't apear in my watch . I read on internet that a VPN could solve the problem, I'm studing this option now...

Hello man, how I can change my region to UK as well ? I'm from Cyprus and the gpay is not available also here. So Please let me know how I can change my region to UK and hopefully it will work ! Thanks a lot!

I reset my watch and picked UK, then installed GPay from the Play store on the watch (which looks like it's the same version as the one you posted `2.135.389276953`) and GPay app still gets disabled after a while. Is the secret to side-load it instead of installing it from the Play Store ?
UPDATE: nope, still gets disabled and removed from the home screen even after sideloading
Same story here.
I have an LTE model. When initializing it doesn't list the Western European regions for selection. However I have a UK google account as well next to the primary.
Through that I am able to install Google Pay, through the watch from the Play Store, initialize it and use it.
Until it gets disabled.
The important part here is that is is not removed but disabled only.
Meaning, if I want to pay with the watch, I can find it in the play store on the watch again and enable it. Then it will work for a period.
I can live with this but it is hardly optimal....
So basically there aren't any working solutions to make Gpay working smoothly...

Yes, for me it is baffling that they are taking care of such important features as writing a process to block modules... when there is plenty there to improve upon... Like who cares if you have Samsung Pay or Google Pay on your watch? If you don't have a compatible credit card you are F..d anyway. Samsung own Messages app is bundled next to Google's. I use the later to have RCS, since Samsung does that feature region locked as well.... can I remove Samsung's Messaging app? Only if I purge it with ADB... otherwise it remains. But not the payment apps.... sigh. bonkers.

Hello , I bought my mate 9 from China two weeks ago,I am back home now USA, I am having a weird issue with play store.
If I want to install an app or update,
It shows downloading and it is not downloading anything.
It will stuck like that forever.
I tried everything, play store force stop,clear cache,restart and recently factory reset.
It works for two days and then stop again.
I don't see anything blocking my connection.
Hiapp works fine, downloading from the internet is fine. Did anyone experience that issue.
I will appreciate the help.
I believe Google Play Services are not officially supported on the Chinese Mate 9 (MHA-AL00). There is a work around that you can find here. What country are you in? What model number is your phone?

I have same model( 6gb ram) and I'm studying in china. I have to use VPN to connect to Playstore, though it depend on time but it still download. I have used my phone for 8 days and still can connect and update small apps ( of course speed is very slow). I hope when i come back to my country next month, situation will get better.
Try allowing Unknown Sources under Security Settings. Then force close the Play Store app and open it again or reboot. Let me know if it works.

I am in China too, problem with VPN most often. If your VPN are poor, the google store most likely wont' work for you. I recomend using Astrill in china if you give it a try. But it does require a monthly fee.

Use your current VPN to see if you can access Astrill from USA. Then just purchase the plan and download the apk. With the same account you can also use it on the computer by dowloading the Windows version. Cheers.

Sorry guys but that means that GMS Google installer doesn't work for you?
Here you go ,stop updating or downloading. No idea at this point...I am getting frustrated with that phone.
I will not factory reset again,
I have tried to enable the unknown source download and install and then force stop google play and clear the cache of google play and then restart.
It seems this way fixed the bug that google play doesn't download without reboot. I will use it for several more days to confirm that this method can solve the problem.

has anybody found the solution for this I bought chinese version with B167 firmware and is doing the same thing Google play stop working every now and then and does not update apps automatically
quick update: found out google play will not download apps over wifi but as soon as I disable it google play start downloading the updates not sure why is doing this it used to work over wifi few days ago
My phone is it doesn't update until resbooting the phone, once reboot, it can work for a while.
Since this phone can boot pretty fast, it doesn't bother me that much.
I haven't found a single way to fix it and I don't think there is a way to fix it until now

Hi guys.
I bought my pixel 2 in Germany and I can't set up Google Pay and android Pay in any way.
Could anyone let me know what do I need to do to be able to use Google pay?
I'm living in London now, should I flash my pixel for UK firmware and I will be able to use android or Google pay?
Thanks for your time and help
Best Wishes
What's your specific problem? Can you launch the google pay app at all? If you're trying to set up a card in google pay, that's dependent on the support from your card provider (I have some that work and some that don't). Check out https://pay.google.com/intl/en_uk/about/banks/

See my later comments below.
Just a topic to advise any possible UK buyers who are considering to have this phone. I've managed to install Google services with some guide in this forum . Most of apps working, of course I'm prepared for some Google framework function not work, i.e. Google assistance (voice control ), Google pay with contactless etc. But some key apps not working can rely put me off:
*Barclays UK mobile Banking app: not supported on Play Market, tried to manual install the app with APK files , tried current and various previous versions, none of them worked. So if you rely on mobile banking a lot with Barclays bank, please be alerted. I can't use web version on the phone as the mobile app needs to be supported to generate log in code.
Less urgent case that I can use browser to bear the inconvenience: IHG booking app. Tried various previous version , none worked.
HSBC Mobile Banking for UK: all working fine
HSBC Mobile Banking for Hong Kong: works but does not support Fingerprints Log In.
Appreciate any help if you have any solutions for above apps?
Strange... there has not been any reply on this topic yet ?...
> I can't use web version on the phone as the mobile app needs to be supported to generate log in code.
I'm curious about this. Do you have any more information? Which browser are you using? Did you check the box for 'Desktop site' [1]? I find that works for most things where they check the UA string.
[1] That's what it is for Chrome, but I imagine other browsers have something similar.
Are you sure this is true? I am almost certain that I'm upgrading to this phone.
I was told that all Google apps, play store and generally everything Google related is working on this device from EE. I'm also with Barclays and will need to access that app. If this isn't the case then I will have to consider a different phone.
Still no luck. When searching Barclays app in Playstore , no luck. You can go to web version Google store and try to find this app then it will show app not compatible with this device. I guess Barclays app uses Google safetynet framework which is currently baned on this device.
Hi
I have the Barclays banking app working on my Mate 30 Pro 5G along with several other without any issues. Installed the Playstore as per method and downloaded app as normal. Only thing not working is Google Pay.
Dude , the app doesn't even turn up on playstore what are you talking about ?

Tested it can be downloaded directly from my Playstore , if you know how to install Google services on mate30pro then it'll be no problem for you to use that App
I found this link on YouTube where a user explains how to certify the Mate 30 Pro by Google in the Play Store app. I tried this method 1 month ago and although at the beginning the phrase "uncertified device" disappeared from the Play Store, days later the Play Store app showed me that "my device is not certified", so I think it does not work .
Does anyone used this method that explains this YouTube user?

This works!
After testing every method i found here or on youtube im very skeptical. Its very exhausting to try these methods, praying to get only Google Services and all you get are that SPAM-like Pop ups from Google about not having an cerified device.
I bought my Mate 30 pro on the 2nd of March.
Build 10.0.0.193 and LIO L29. Kernel is 4.14.116.
Maybe its because im german
Well, does anyone tested this method?

i tried and was able to install with " Not Certified" error, the trick is Install GMS through any method with DATA and Wifi turned off
install GMAIL using apk file rather than play store, after installing apk reboot and turn data on, log in gmail account using Gmail app and then open play store..... you will be able to install everything you want
You can download Gmail apk from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/gmail/

How do you install GMS without data? What method you use? I can't install GMS with data off, whatever I do, it asks for data.
If you save files in usb type c flashdrive or download to pc and set usb transfer files. No need data, wireless.
This link https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ where they do the certification is very misleading. When you register in theory it should be fine, but what happens is that Google reviews those registrations and decides which ones to allow. So it doesn't matter if you added your play store ID and clicked Register. I got this information from Google support, because I was asking them quite some times to explain why this service for certification does not work and what is its purpose. They told me that they review those requests in order to allow the certification. They could at least give some feedback on their system showing the registrations status - pending, rejected, successful.
I guess they don't care how many paying customers they will lose when they reject the phones and remove the possibility of even adding them manually.

Hi All,
I'm wondering that is there any option to change the Model name to P30 Pro?
After that probably I could be Play Protect certified.
GMS and Google installed but Google Pay not working due to the phone not certified.
Other banking apps also not working because rely on googl play protect.
Is there any solution to emulated the Model name or change it? Should I root the phone or can I find some alternative way?
Annoying that I have a great phone but due to some restrictions I can not use it as I want.
Thank you

I know, depends on which bank you have. Mine is contracted with Google pay only so no chance. Other also google pay, 3rd working standalone but because of no play protection and not certified not working.
I'm in Hungary and I have tried áll available options.
Wise/Revolut/curve also contracted with Google Pay.
Or looking for Universal app where I can add my card and working the NFC contacless payment feature.
I know Stocard app but it is only available in UK or Germany and can not force the region...
That's why Im looking for other solution...
iCard ...???
That app don't need GMS.

If there is no other choice then I will try it.
My problem with iCard that there is no Hungarian currency on it.
I have to change my money (HUF) to EUR then when I pay in Hungary change back to EUR to HUF and I'm afraid I will lose a lot.
This is the only disadvantage with iCard.
That's why I looking for app where I can associate my bank card or account.
Hope you understand my concern.
Indeed, if you don't have your currency on it, it's a problem ...
