Few questions regarding Marshmallow and the Note 5 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When Samsung updates the Note 5 with their version of Android 6.0 will it:
1. have Now on Tap?
2. Allow Android Pay instead of Samsung Pay?
3. Allow the 6.0 fingerprint API to be utilized for such things as purchasing apps on the Play Store?

I don't have any answer, my guess will be.
1. NO
2. NO
3. NO
Doesn't make sense for them to use Android Pay instead of Samsung Pay, why should they?

You can use Google Wallet on the Note 5.
Why no with Now on Tap? I figured that will be included as Google Now is still in Samsung devices in spite of S-Voice.

Pretty sure they will use the new fingerprint scanner API when they update the note to marshmallow.

Now on tap will probably be embedded I to the Google search app just like Now. Android pay and samsung pay are similar from what I gather. And Android pay is an app so I'm sure you could get both of them to work side by side.

[Q] Android security?

I've just been blasted by my boss for allowing an executive buy a galaxy note.
The primary reason appears to be poor security in Android.
My understanding is that Android has a few weaknesses around bad apps but it's not "intrinsically" unsecure... Is it?

as long as you check permissions before installing a new app, you'll be fine. ie. if a game asks to make calls and send SMS, obviously its a trap.
if youre concerned, there are some security apps around.

I had to wait for Android 2.2 to finally offer passcodes (PIN, passwords options instead of patterns that some people could figure out by looking at finger oil patterns on the off screen ; see Settings->Security->Screen lock)
Under Applications make sure "Unknown sources" is not checked which would allow installation of non-Market applications unless the user trusts the source for a particular app that has not yet made it to market ( for example I had to temporarily check it to install TeamViewer before they had an official market app then unchecked it right after to return it to its default state).
I installed free security app Lookout (see description) iOS devices can locate, sound-message, lock & wipe remotely which should be standard free features of Android IMO but at least Lookout offers locate-alarm, contact backup-restore for free with remote lock-wipe & advanced backup as a premium feature in addition to antivirus-malware security.
Android market is not as closed as iOS app store's walled garden so look at permissions as mentioned particularly when the apps are not from a big reputable company but I still prefer Android's open model with aforementioned caveats. Lastly rooting phones could make them vulnerable. Any other apps people recommend?

[Q] Android Wear Compatibility for Nokia X2

I am planning to buy a Android Wear (Specifically the Moto 360).
I've already checked the android wear test site and it was compatible with my Nokia X2 (because it was based on 4.3}.
I still have doubts if this can run alongside with my phone knowing that this phone initially doesn't support Google Apps.
Can anyone confirm that this (Nokia X2) is working with an android wear product.

Did you get one and is it compatible? The WearCheck site says it's compatible at least.
Not yet.

Question, do we need the android wear app to be installed to nokia x2. If so, does the app require google play services?
Sent from my Nokia X2 using Tapatalk
You need to know that everything that you will do with your android wear watches is ask google voice search (run apps, reply messages and everything else). So, of course you need installed google play services, play store and google now app (and actually many more google apps because other's developers apps not compatibility with android wear.

Well yes. I still didn't brought one so I don't know what are the required apps to be installed. Sad, but though I love this phone im considering buying a zenfone 6 so I can use the smartwatch properly.

The Moto 360 has suddenly stopped as incompatible on http://g.co/WearCheck when checking from the X2. It say's 4.3 is required and your phone is Android but not a 4.3 :S
That's weird. It showed as compatible a few weeks ago.

Samsung Pay

Alright, I'm tired of looking so I'll just ask..... Is it just me or is the Samsung Pay stuff not installed on our device out of the box? I can't find anything on it anywhere..... If AT&T removed it by default, I'm not gonna be a happy camper...
Maybe I jumped the gun a little here..... I've just read several articles stating Samsung Pay was enabled by default with the device, however now I'm seeing that its not going to be available to US customers until summer time?!?! If someone could confirm it would be appreciated.
http://www.cio.com/article/2890887/samsung/how-samsung-pay-works-nfc-mst-security-faqs.html
.
Yep summer time it is. Read that in a few articles and I think they mentioned it at the launch event.

Does anyone know if Looppay works natively without the extra accessory? If so, you can still download that.
At least Apple Pay rollout has just been a trickle. Samsung Pay could come in like a flood.
Nope. You have to have the accessory or loop pay will not work.
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.
Korea Link - https://kr.mpay.samsung.com/apk
US Link - https://us.mpay.samsung.com/apk
Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.

Does it work? I'm getting used to Google wallet more and more. When I'm at babiesrus my reward program automatically popped up. Very convenient. It'll be hard to switch to saunaing pay unless it's really magical.
I haven't gotten past the first screen with the start button yet. They may be blocking it until the beta officially opens on Aug 25th. The nice thing about the samsung pay vs google wallet is that nfc isn't required so it should work more places.

I called today and they told me to download the Samsung Plus app from the Google playstore. I downloaded it agreed to the terms and logged in and then inside the app there was a link that said "Join Samsung Pay Beta". So far it doesn't do anything, but it seems promising that it might work tomorrow after the beta has officially begun.

I saw it under the discover some section.
I think I've officially been accepted! I just clicked on the Samsung Pay (stub) placeholder and this time it came up with a different sceen! It's just really strange that there was never an email about being accepted and the Samsung+ app still looks the same and just takes me to the invitation only beta sign up page at Samsung.com.

I tried to install the APK files but it says there's a problem parsing the package. I'm probably missing something. Also, quick question, how did you get a hold of the apk? I signed up the beta and I'm hoping they pick me as well. Samsung Pay was one of the reasons I bought the S6.

Are you on android 5.0.2? It seems like the .apk file for Samsung Pay will only install on 5.1.1.
I was accepted into the beta and then just used an app called apk extractor to pull the updates .apk files off of my phone to share with the community. Sadly it seems like even with the updated Samsung Pay .apk file installed, people are unable to install the update .apk file for the Samsung Pay Framework, and are just stuck on the first screen with the start button.

I got an international version G920f with android 5.1.1 but still not able to install the Framework app. I have a payment framework app with the same package name which is only 24kb v 1.1.1. I wonder if there are other libraries which samsung updated only the US version with.

You can use Google wallet to tap and pay.

Samsung pay uses Samsung KNOX secure container. That means if you root your device, Samsung pay will not work.

Live streaming is a note 5 camera setting usually cameras and their features don't port well from device to device in Samsung phones so my guess is that won't be happening

Question Is there a way to make my Xiaomi run the Galaxy Store app?

I am trying to use the Galaxy Store app on my Redmi Note 10S but it won't let me open it because it is not made for other devices.
Is there a module, ROM or other way to emulate a Samsung device in order to use this app?
My Redmi Note 10S has MIUI 13.0.6 and Android 12. I also have root access and TWRP installed.
Some Samsung users who want to use Galaxy Store apps not available in their region have found ways to circumvent it.
Maybe start there.
Try side loading the apk and firewall blocking before it connects to Samsung's server. I use older versions of Wearables and Good lock apps like this on my Samsung. It's all good as long as firewall blocked. The supporting services may need to be installed (and firewall blocked) as well like the Galaxy Store app for the apps to function. It will likely be a pain and take a few tries... it did on a Samsung
Scan all side loaded apps first with online Virustotal, do not use if there's ANY doubts. Better safe than hacked.
Here's an older copy of Galaxy Store, may not install on Android 11 or higher...

Do some searches... you're not the first. Unlike many of Samsung's newer flagship phones some of their apps are still highly desirable.

This is what's needed for some. These apps can raise hell on a stock Samsung so don't expect a hack(s) to go smoothly...
Used N10+'s can be had for $350 in good condition. Probably the best Note Samsung ever made and still a very capable workhorse.
Snapdragon variants hardware is more desirable but next to impossible to root.
