Samsung gear app store paid apps for non Samsung phone

I managed to purchase some watch faces that were previously not available to non Samsung devices. Have Samsung note allowed those with non Samsung phones to buy apps?
I had to register a credit card with them, but it was easy.
Using lion gate watch face at the moment, was £0.98

Seems like a good news for non-Samsung users Which phone are you using?

Seeing paid apps in the gear app store on my LG V10 and have access to prevously bought stuff as well.
Edit: Tested purchasing as well and worked fine.

Were you able to able to register your credit card on Gear App itself or did you have to do it somewhere else online?
I have it paired with a Huawei Mate 7 and can only see free apps with no apparent option to add any credit card details.
Thanks.

I managed to register with the Samsung gear app store via the app. Didn't have to register anywhere else.

I had to do it on my computer. I kept getting error messages on the phone.

In my case it never asks for a credit card. I have even tried creating a new account on a PC. It must be geo locked or something of the sort.

Can you download the gear manager in playstore? In my case it started working with payed apps as i could download the gear manager from playstore. As long i used the app offered here in forum i only got free apps.
Sadly there are still free apps i can't see in store, like ntv, kommot or golfcard.

Hi Javan, I always downloaded the gear manager app from the play store. In the meantime I finally got a reply from Samsung and they basically said that paid apps are not supported in my country (Malta).
My problem is that I don't know at which stage this "country check" takes place.
1) Is it when I am creating the Samsung account? In this case I would be able to use a VPN workaround when creating a new account.
2) Is it when I download the Samsung gear app from the Play store? In this case I will need to root my phone and use a market unlocker.
3) Is it when I am accessing the Tizen store? In this case I have no idea ... it would be too cumbersome to workaround this [emoji22]
One way or another there has to be a workaround, I just want to avoid rooting the phone as much as possible.
If anyone has any ideas or managed to access paid apps in the store from a non-supported country, I would be forever grateful if you can share your solution.

These are the same things I've been thinking about this problem. Did you find any sollution? I cant imagine base on what it takes your location, IP address, google store, or what. What I found out today is that if you loggin samsung store Web, it displays among your info Country: XXXX

Hi guys.
1 week with a gear sport paired with asus zenfone 3 and I can't access any paid apps from Gear app... Just free apps showing to me.
Tried everything, reset, another phone (Nexus 5) and nothing.
Paid apps just show to Samsung phones?

Can't register credit card on Gearmanager S2 app store

Hi.
I have problem that i can't register credit card in gear s2 app store within gearmanager (i'm from Croatia - EU).
I have S4 with GPE 5.0.1 ROM, rooted, and was getting gear plugin force stop error when trying to start gearmanager app. So as advised in other thread i changed build.prop samsung entries to htc to be able to connect gear S2. After that i successfully connected gear s2 with phone and went to gear s2 app store to buy some watchfaces but can't add credit card. I tried different credit cards but to no avail, always getting error can't register credit card. On my wife's phone, S6 with original samsung software i could register those credit cards without problem. If i then use that account on may S4 with Gear S2 i now have registered credit cards and have option to buy apps in gear S2 app store but after i click on purchase nothing happens, store said that the app is purchased and that download of app is going to start shortly after but that never occur. On app itself after purchase there isn't usual notification INSTALLED but again i have the price of app in US$. After i click again on button with price all process is repeated again with no app downloaded...
Can someone have any advice on this issue?
Does anyone that installed gearmanager on non samsung ROM have ability to register credit card and buy apps?
Thanks...

Samsung Pay for Gear now works in Canada (no CSC change or mods required)

Thought I'd share a bit of good news. The latest upgrade of Gear app that changed it to Galaxy Wear app now offers fully functional Samsung Pay for Gear for Canadian consumers. To set it up, do the following:
Upgrade your "Gear App" to the new "Galaxy Wearable" app from the Play Store.
Go to APKMirror or a similar site and download, then install the latest version of the "Samsung Pay for Gear" app (the latest version on APKMirror as of this post is 1.6.8906). Note that the app is currently not available from the Play Store or Galaxy App store, at least not on a non-Samsung phone (I am using the Essential PH-1 with my Gear S3 Classic).
Once installed, launch the app, allow all permissions and you will be prompted to update your "Samsung Pay for Gear" app.
Complete the update as prompted, then re-launch the app to complete the setup.
Accept the terms, follow the prompts to add your supported Canadian credit cards, and complete the required verification.
Once complete, test that it is working correctly by pressing and holding your back button on the Gear S3 watch from any screen.
Enjoy Samsung Pay for Gear in Canada!
Note that to make this work your card has to be supported by Samsung Pay (or really, your bank for Samsung Pay) and you have to have NFC enabled on your Gear S3.

I have the S3 Classic. It automatically did the update for me. One question though....Is it correct that the Samsung pay for wearable devices, right now in Canada, only allow credit cards???? I tried to add my debit card but it couldn't VERIFY which is weird because I have my debit card on my phone (Note 8). Is there an issue with the app or will it eventually allow debit cards over time? I also tried to add my credit card but its not supported yet, go figure .

This is correct. Gear Pay only supports credit cards for now. Considering that Samsung hasn't even officially announced Gear Pay in Canada I have no clue when we can expect to see debit card support. The issue with debit vs. credit and the inconsistent implementation by Samsung and our dear banks always annoyed the crap out of me so I feel your pain.

Hi I have tried installing the Gear Plug-in for Samsung Pay but right after I allow all the permissions i get the message "Can't open Samsung Pay Your watch may not be supported". Any idea how I can get past this?

I am facing the same issue. even after installing the apk manually, when i try open it says-"Your watch may not be supported"

P40 Pro and SmartWatch [Wear OS] + Google Pay

Can I use the P40 pro with a smartwatch that has google pay?
If inserting the card in the smartwatch before synchronizing with the cell phone, would it work?

I have a Motorola 360 2nd gen, and it kinda works. I can do the initial setup for the watch, but I cannot add any google account to the watch, no weather or location update. I do get caller info, sms, email, whatsapp with full text. Without and account I cannot install any apps (left with the default ones).

Every time I pair the watch with a new phone it does a factory reset (at least mine) any data is wiped.

Watch with Wear Os work only with GMS. Without GMS you cant connect it with P40pro. I have tried and no change.

It depends on the type of smartwatch. I have a HW2 and have it paired ok with P30 Pro(Mate 30 Pro before). I also have my google account on the watch. There is a guide for Huawei watches that describes how you can setup/keep the google account on the watch and pair it after with another phone without resseting the watch.
About google pay on the watch...I don't know as I am not using it. Might work since I can open the store on the watch.

I'd be interested to know if Wear OS & Google Pay would work with a P40 Pro with GMS side loaded.
I have a Samsung Active Watch 2 which pairs and works with my P40 Pro, sadly I can't get Samsung Pay to work though on the phone or the watch.

Are you able to download apps on the watch? like Uber?

Is ti possible to set up wear os smartwatch and sync with some phone that is verified by Google (p30 pro for example) and then switch ur phone to p40 pro and continue using gpay on smartwatch without connecting it with phone at all?

Ivve a p40 pro with GMS installed but I can't copy the account... With p20 pro no problem.. I tried to swich to p40 pro but without results. The oppo watch request a new pairing...
Please help meeeee

You cant transfer a Google account over. If you do a search, you can get it to pair to another phone, like a P40, without resetting it but you cant use Playstore. You will need to sideload any apps on to the watch.
Its the only option i found, But always happy to hear of a better one.
So set it up on a GMS enabled phone, then get it paired and swap to the P40.

Same for me

From my post 2 up, you're not reading it. Do a search or read here https://www.xda-developers.com/pair-android-wear-without-factory-reset/amp/
This routine will allow you move a fully setup watch to your P40. No you wont be able to transfer your account or use G Pay or Playstore BUT as you set your watch up first on a phone you did have a proper G account, you shouldn't need anything else installing and you can use your as normal with your P40

Is your P40 with GMS side loaded? I tried on my Mate 40 Pro. I can't even run Wear OS app as it says my phone doesn't have GMS.
Anyway to connect my new TicWatch Pro 3 to my new Mate 40 Pro?

Question Add credit cards to Watch Google Wllet

I have no issues adding the credit cards to P7P Google Wallet, but for 2 cards I had to use the specific app.
I'd have to add them to the Wallet of Pixel Watch, but I get an error if I do it from the Wallet app, as I had if I did it on the phone.
Unluckily there are no specific Wear OS banking apps for those cards...

I had to contact Google support, it seems a common issue. They fixed my account and now it works flawlessly.

Are you rooted? Because i can't evem add one it tells me phone is rooted.

Actually yes, but I wasn't at the time of the issue. Wallet is working fine if you hide root.

As I posted before, Google assistance solved what it seemed to be a problem of my account.

I have the same problem and can´t add card to the watch. I have a Xiaomi 11 ultra with chinese rom, managed to put google wallet working well on the phone but can´t add a card to the watch. Simply it says that cannot connect to phone.
How did you solve the issue? don´t know if it was the same problem but is worth to try..
