Write me here, when you get please.

No problem who ever gets it first report it here

I spoke to Samsung yesterday and they said the delay is with the service provider. I'm with O2 (mobile plan on the watch) so it's waiting for O2 to release the update. I don't really use the watch plan, so I'm wondering if I delete my plan whether that will cause me to get the update, as there's no plan on the watch. Does anyone know?

I've never activated a plan on my Watch 4 Classic LTE and still not getting any of the recent updates.

Samsung Gear SM-RF760 and Samsung Gear Pay - Issues

So, due to no Gear S3 being available in Australia for some time, I ordered the SM-RF760 Model from www.eglobaldigital.com.au
I have the s7 Edge Aussie Variant. Just found out that Samsung Pay is no available on the SM-RF760 and been advised by Samsung that it will only become available and has to be activated in the country i bought the watch from!!! Can you believe it? Maybe one day I can side load a version, of if someone can help, please please do
Michael
Sorry but you can't side load it. The only way to get it on the watch is to load the csc file from Australia. I am in the same boat in Canada. Have it in Gear Manager but it won't go on the watch until Canada updates the CSC file.
Swordfish
Thanks Swordfish

Mine in Canada is OXA, can someone from US tell me what version you have? I believe this is what prevents us from installing SP on our watches.

I ask now on another forum and wait answer.
Man buy R760 from USA, now version APK7.
Pnone not Samsung. Adding russian card without problem.
SP working via NFC and MST.
Sorry for my bad english.
APK7 is the firmware version but I need to know what CSC version the Americans have. Using the procedure above, you can check and see what version you have. It won't hurt your watch to just check the version number.
Swordfish
My guess is my model number is the American version SM-R760
CSC: R760OXA1APK6 SM-R760
We have PK7 as the firmware but my thinking must be incorrect. It seems we all have OXA as the CSC value so now I'm puzzled as to how the watch knows not to install SP on my watch??
Swordfish
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING AND SAMSUNG ARE HOPELESS, THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTRY I PURCHASED, HONG KONG?? Is SM-R760 the USA version then?

I think, need another activation SP.
May be enabling in special menu, before buy.
May be first pairing and activation in country non USA.
May be first pairing and activation with non USA Samsung phone firmware.
I dont know....
gah samsung pay not available on my HK version of the watch. Gah is there any update on this (flashing firmware etc) to get samsung pay to work in my home country (australia)?
This is frustrating
It's the watch, nothing you do on your phone will bypass it. I'm in Canada, didn't even have the SP option in my gear app and then I sold my Canadian one and got a USA one and it installed itself on my Canadian S7 Edge (unrooted/unmodded). SP works even though we don't officially have SP in Canada (only pre-release for one bank)

US GS3 w/Samsung Pay in Canada

I picked up a GS3 frontier while visiting the US. It has Samsung Pay pre loaded. I cannot get it to work because, it will not recognize my Canadian address? Any solutions?

Thank you! Is it necessary to have any connection between Samsung pay on smartphone and Samsung pay on SG3? I have S7 edge SM-935F and Samsung Pay doesn't work in Canada although I flashed it with German DBT Firmware. I don't know why because some people wrote that it should work, but it is another problem. Could you clarify please, will Samsung pay on SG3 work without any connection with Samsung pay in smartphone?

I am told that SP works with rooted phones so the answer to your question would be yes, SP on the watch should work without SP on your phone. The issue you need to address is, does the Gear S3 that you own have the SP app already installed? Not all Gear S3's come with the app installed. At this time, only US, Australia and Singapore watches come with it pre-installed. My Canadian watch does NOT have this installed. There is no way that I am aware of that you can*sideload it either. At least I haven't figured it out.

You can pay with a watch without samrtphone, but add a card in watch will not work without a smartphone.
Sorry for my bad english.
Can your extract the samsung pay from your watch so the rest of us can sideload it?
Newbie here, but I'm looking to buy a refurbished GS3 Frontier that's been factory reset. The watch is in US, and I'm in Canada (yes, I'm polite too ). Will the watch work in Canada? I'm running on 4G/LTE from Public Mobile on my S7 Edge.

EDIT - Never mind, I'm clearly having a massive brain blockage at the moment. Doubt my phone is the US variant, most probably the European variant. Will check anyways and let you know. Apologies for the confusion.

That's fine I'm not asking about the US variant. In the title I state C636 which is Asia if I recall correctly.
Using C636 in Singapore.
Got the update a week ago.
Some people here also did not receive it yet.
So I guess, they are rolling in batches.
It took around 1 week for me to get them from the time I've read about someone getting the B172 update.
I've noticed a slight battery improvement from B158. Music controls from spotify now works on the locksreen.

Mine is not the C636. Its the C185.
Service center returned the unit, wiped clean with a B158 build. So much ado about nothing there.
AUS still stuck at 158

Received it on the day of the announcement here in Malaysia which is really surprising given that there normally is a lag in receiving updates here.
Tried with firmware finder tonight
Downloaded full update.... But got an "unauthorized update" error when trying to install
So the wait continues

Verizon version in the Netherlands

I bought a Pixel 2 black at bestbuy an brought it back to the Netherlands where i live. I out in my t-mobile sim al works great. Accept i was woundering if i would get OTA updates? It has the securtity patch of September.
In the Verizon forum they say it makes no differance. But you buy a Pixel for the fast updates but it's 2 month behind

You won't get OTA updates, I was in the same boat as you. Verizon even says you need an active Verizon sim card installed to receive the updates on their Pixel 2 web page for update info. I have the Verizon Pixel 2 with a Vodafone sim card in the EU. The only way you'll get updates is to download the OTA file yourself (you can get it from Google) and use ADB. I'm up to date now and there were no issues doing it that way.

Yeah, sorry, when I replied to this message I dind't realize you had posted the other one as well. I'm hoping they keep the OTA's online too. Fingers crossed!
Now that you are mentioning this. Maybe these Verizon stuff is the whole reason they started uploading OTAs first.
Sent from my Pixel 2
Hi guys - currently it's not possible to get the pixel 2 in Ireland. I am going to New York and was thinking of buying the device straight from the Verizon store. From everything i've heard, it will work fine in the EU, also i'll save a little on the exchange rate (it comes in at around €700).
The updates thing is a major downside though - it's a good few months now since the last post on this - just wondering if anybody has had trouble downloading the updates directly from google?

Gear Sport Error After Tizen 4.0.0.4

Hey gize,
I have just updated my Gear Sport for Tizen 4.0.0.4 and the thing is, the bezel started to work incorrectly, sensors are now dead and im getting huge battery drainage at night. I have just discovered Samsung warranty is not international so Samsung just said and i quote: "There is nothing we can do for you".
Is there any way i can downgrade the Firmware? And how do i do that if possible? Is there any risk?
Thanks!

Does region matter? I mean, I did change my csc from xse to xar to get this update. But, I think I will keep this csc so in future I will get most recent update quickly.
Or do I need to change back to my origin csc?
I have software reset it, hard rese it, about 4 times, still did not work. My gear was bought in the usa, i live in Brazil and warranty apparently wont work here, so im stuck
