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/

My problem was that I couldn't even download it. Now I managed to change my Google play store country and it's working. Thanks for your time anyway.
*******Resolved********
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 ?

Sorry, should have made myself clear. I phoned cloned my apps from my P30 pro across to the Mate 30 pro and the app was there. Logged in no problem
Okay thanks for this ,is this Clone process part of Huawei thingy or independent app?
I've tried Huawei Clone , No chance.

Did you just download Barclays apps from your play store? That'll be really shocking to me as Barclays app doesn't even show up in my play store.

Go to this link and install the shared directory apk. Then go to install Barclays app on a 3rd party resource platform such as apkmirror or somewhere similar
It's working on my phone now
Nationwide Banking App UK
Does anyone know if the Nationwide Banking App works via transfer via phone clone? If someone could try this would be great as this is a deal breaker if i get the phone

I wanted to buy this phone but the global version is not dual-sim so I'm thinking of importing the CN version instead and install google apps on it. will I be able to change the default xiao ai assistant to google assistant? or use all the banking apps for payment using nfc? i don't wanna unlock the bootloader coz I don't wanna lose some phone capabilities.

You don't say what country you're from, no band 20, I unlocked my Chinese version to install EU ROM, everything works although it did with Chinese ROM, just install play store APK. The framework work is already installed. Google apps all working fine including gpay.

Thanks for the info.
I'm in two minds if I should buy this version.
But I do know I won't be paying the 999 euros for it.
And the other problem is that google are locking down on google store on phones with a unlocked bootloader.
And the pull down menu and other things in the menus are in Chinese.
Just thought.
With Google's SafetyNet now making an impact, it's not worth buy a mi 10 pro.

If you are going to install only gApps with the installer, well you will be able to use all the google apps. But you have to know that google pay may not work in the right way due to the new Google policy. The same as Huawei phones. And well, you won't have 4G B20 band.

I was thinking about doing this.
That was until I saw that all the top pull down menus are in chinese and you can't change them.
And loads of chinese notification popping up.
I don't have Chinese in any of my pulldown menus or notifications. Google apps, safeynet, widevine 3, etc. all work out of the box, even on the Chinese rom. However, I did replace the launcher with Nova and disabled a bunch of Xiaomi apps with XiaomiADBFastbootTools.
Now, all that said, I haven't been able to get "Ok Google" to work for me. The assistant itself seems to work and I can prompt it with a key command, but it gives me a regional error if I try to have "Ok Google" always on. Maybe it works outside of China, but it seems to be a problem with rom itself.
I also have my international payment methods binded to it no problem (safety net works) but since I'm in China I can't really test it out anywhere. It works online, but I would want to see a physical NFC transaction go through before I declare it working.

I can confidently tell you that my CN Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro works flawlessly with the Global ROM installed, and all Google Services working including Google Assistant, Google Pay, etc.
The trick I found to get the phone to pass Safety Net was switching the device fingerprint. After that Google Pay works perfectly as I just tested it at the store. Prior to updating the device fingerprint, that was the ONLY thing that didn't work.

I used a Mix Mix 2 profile and it worked. However, I just recently upgraded to MIUI 12 and lost Safety Net approval... no matter what fingerprint I use. I suspect it was Google pulling the levers in the office and I happen to catch it at the right time.

I got it working again but removing the Google Play Services and Google Pay updates reverting back to older versions. Works perfectly again!
I bought the CN model for use in Australia and can confirm that everything works using the custom from from xiaomi.eu
Without the rom it's impossible to rid yourself of all the Chinese in the OS. With it, you get better updates than the global version and safety-net passes.
Does the Mi 10 Ultra pass SafetyNet? Aka use Google Pay, McDonalds, Pokémon Go.
And if so, how come the Mi 10 passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)?
I have the phone
Security level is L1
Saftey net is as global phone
Google services is running as any global phone..100% no issue with me even in downloading all my bought apps
The only issue is that Google backup and restore is not working and Google Location History is not working. The rest all work fine, Google Pay, maps, play store, etc. on the stock china miui 12 rom of course.
Oops, had a typo. Meant to ask:
How come the Mi 10 Ultra passes but the P40 Pro does not (despite both phones coming without GMS preinstalled)? Neither phone is officially available outside China, so I doubt Xiaomi took the time to Google Certify the Mi 10 Ultra. Where does certification come from?
P40 Pro does not come with GMS pre-installed thanks to Trump.
Trump has banned Google from exporting software and licenses to Huawei, so huawei is legally not allowed to install GMS in their OS, even if not activated.
The last Huawei phone with GMS pre-installed is the P30 Pro.
P40 Pro is also available outside China in many regions with HMS instead.
On the other hand, MIUI comes with GMS pre-loaded inside all their China ROMs as well and also Google certified.
It's just not activated, and even if you activate it in China, it will not work due to the Great China Firewall blocking all GMS.
But once the phone is out of China, that's a different story, we just need to install Play Store and all GMS get activated auto-magically.
Some features are not working great as the China rom still have some tiny blocks, notably Google Location History and Backup and Restore.

If a license from Google to Huawei is all that's required. Why don't they just work around it? Can't Google just release the blob of GMS (I understand releasing the source is probably not a good idea) as freeware that doesn't require a license?
Also, what does Xiaomi use in China if not GMS or HMS?
So have you managed to install Netflix successfully and make payments with Google pay?
Thanks!

Google Pay is installed directly from the Play Store. I have use apk mirror for Netflix and Prime Video as that was not available on play store.
Netflix absolutely works. Someone who said it doesn't either doesn't know about side loading or did something wrong. You just have to download the apk from somewhere other than the play store. Works fine.

Try changing NFC setting default wallet to "Use HCE Wallet"
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..

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...

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.
