Used it for the first time this morning at the car wash. Worked perfectly.

When you say it isn't working, are you meaning you can log in and setup your Credit Card and such or that is doesn't work at the terminal?
I got everything setup last night but haven't tried to use it anywhere yet.

Go into samsung pay settings and turn simple pay on for the number of options there.

Same issue on my wife's.. mine works fine (Black) hers acts like the service isn't available (Coral Blue)
Even though she was using it on her Note 5...?
What color are you guys that are having this issue? I am wondering if there is something different by color.. I know it sounds weird, but there were differences between my wife's White Note 5 and my Gold Platinum Note 5..

I haven't tried to use it yet, but the app setup fine. I was able to add a bunch of cards as well.

Then yours is fine.. what we're talking about, is it doesn't even allow you to get to the setup. It acts like the app is "coming soon"

I have a black Note 7 and had the same message last night after receiving my phone. I figured that it was not ready for the note 7 yet, and slept on it. When I tried again this morning it allowed me to log in and set it up just fine. Not sure if this is why it worked the second time, but I restarted my phone this morning after all the installs and cleared the cache. Maybe that had something to do with it?

Been using it perfectly since I got the phone yesterday. Added 6 cards and 3 loyalty cards. Got the 20 dollar promo at best buy getting a screen protector last night.

I just got off the phone with Samsung, was having the same issues, Added that card fine last night, went to try use it today and the card was gone and every time I tried to add it, it kept saying "cannot connect to samsung pay"
They had me open the application manager, force quit the samsung pay "samsung pay framework", clear its cache and then click on "samsung pay" force stop, clear its Cache and it Data.
That forced me to go through the setup again, but allowed me to add my card, and now it seems to be working.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

I didn't use it. However, I noticed an update for it within the Samsung pay app settings, under "about". It should be version 2.2.02. I'm not saying that's the cause, but might help.

i setup mines up last night ok. i added two of my cards. One i did the resend for the activation code 2 times. The other card did work never got one. Then this morning i deleted it and readded and the activation card got sent and work this time.
I remember on my s7 edge when i first got it. samsung pay didnt work. woulnt get pass finger print. Call samsung and they said to delete the samsung pay app data and cache.
Once i did that the s7 edge setup fast and easy.
Worth a shot if you guys n girls are still having problems.

Mine worked perfectly at Walgreens and I got a 20 dollar Samsung gift card

it's working now after update

Worked great last night at the movies. Even got the free $20 virtual gift card 2 minutes later. Be sure to use Samsung pay at least once to get your free money!

Samsung Pay working for me just like you see on commercials. I get the same reactions too.
I notice when I took off the locking on lock screen Google pay said it won't work due no lock on lock screen. May be this is same with Samsung Pay.
It stands that if you have stuff like Samsung Pay, Google Pay, etc in your device that you should lock your device too.

3rd day now and I still can't register the cards I had on my S7. Tried everything. I guess I'll call Samsung at some point today.

Galaxy Gear Touch Screen No Longer Working! HELP

Hi I am not sure what happened but I found someone locally selling a Galaxy Gear for $200.00. I thought that was a pretty good deal so I met up with the person today and got the watch. He showed me it working on his Note 3. He breezed through the screens with his finger. I called him...he took the call on the watch...I mean everything looked fine. Now I must mention I already bought a Galaxy Gear and love it. Been side loading apps and really having fun with it. I thought for this price I could play around with rooting and try some things that I did not want to on my existing gear because I am happy with the way it is working. Figured if I sold it on Ebay eventually I would still make possibly $50.00 when it was all said and done. So the first thing I did was charge up the new Gear ..it was at 87% already but thought it could not hurt. I was trying to figure out how to link TWO gears to my Note 3 and you pretty much just add a new gear and unpair or disconnect the other. So far so good...so I get the option to restore my data....I'm like sweet! Goes through the entire process including with even watch styler. I push a recently configured watch face to the gear. And that's as far as I got. I tried to swipe left and right with no luck. no up or down either. Ok, I figure maybe the buggy watch styler hung up the gear. Hold the power button down on the side and I get the reboot or shutdown...go to hit shutdown and the screen does not sense I am touching it. I tried it over and over and still nothing. Finally my only option was to hold the side power button in....says rebooting...actually comes up shows the time but I still cannot swipe in any direction. I even went as far as to go into the system menu by pushing the side button over and over after the reboot and I did a reset in there but still no touch response. Now If I had not actually seen it working I would have thought the dude pulled a fast one on me and who knows maybe he still did but it WAS working. Out of desperation I called Samsung and gave them my serial number and they told me it is eligible for warranty return...but watch them find it was previously wet or dropped somehow. I do not know if it has been but that would just suck. So much for my good deal. Do any of you extremely smart folks know what I can try or do you think it and I are hosed? I did try USB to see if that made a difference and if I go into the download mode I could launch ODIN and it shows it is detected. I am trying not to totally reset my other gear by uninstalling anything on the phone but I trust you guys so what do think I should do?

I thought about that but if I do that and it does not work would I not be able to mail it back for warranty repair? I have already called samsung and gave them the S/N and they sent me a pre paid label to print off and mail the watch back. If I re-flash I might be screwed for that option. I might already be not knowing what the previous owner did.
Thanks for the response though

[Q] How To Get 50 GB Free Dropbox?

my free dropbox ran out that i got when i purchased my S3 and i would like to get another 50 free. when i setup the phone the first time i made the mistake of putting in the old email address instead of a new one and now i can't find the promotion again. i looked in the galaxy gifts area but now it's gone. any way to reset that? i uninstalled the update to galaxy apps and cleared the cache but it's still gone. i also signed out of my old dropbox account on the phone but still can't find the promotion. really don't want to factory reset after setting this thing up for 3 days.
My ran out also. I used my same account and got my 50gb for another two years. You should be able to get it back

Mine ran out too so i switched to google drive and I pay $1.99 a month for 100gb
I just upgraded to the pro account which gives you 1tb of space. Pictures and videos take up a lot of space.

What I don't like about google drive is it is not integrated into many if the apps like drop box is.
NOTE 4
I had the same issue and im not showing a promotion. I figured it would be official on the 17th. I dont know though. no promotion for me as of yet.
I remember reading that you would get the dropbox promo after signing in to the Samsung Apps or Hub.. (something like that). Looked like there were quite a few freebees in there.. worthless or not, the dropbox is a good deal.

AT&T Note 4 - connecting to the VR does nothing...

I checked to see if I could uninstall the apps from my downloaded apps but that's not an option either. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Me too. Just bought one off eBay. Connected Gear vr and nothing happens. Factory reset my Note 4. Manually installed gear vr and still nothing. Thinking of rolling back to kitkat to see if it works.
Yeah I don't want to have to do all that. Seems silly that there would be any issues with this
Sent from my Note 4
Found out you won't be able to use Gear vr on Kitkat. It forces you to upgrade to lollipop in order to use the Oculus app.
Ah OK. I just spoke with at&t and they were of no help. Samsung's support page says call carrier if it isn't working. Bs. Can't find any info online about it either besides that people were having issues on Verizon last year and needed an update. I'm just going to return the thing this weekend if I can't figure it out
Sent from my Note 4
I may have to do the same thing if I can't figure anything out. And buy a decent pair of goggles that work with Google cardboard. At least I could use that pair with any handset.
Yeah that was my origjnal plan and then convinced myself to get this. It's a bummer really
Sent from my Note 4
This is going to sound silly but I got it working. Even though I thought the phone was fully connected it wasn't. Be sure to push it till you can't see the connector.
Sent from my Note 4
Woo. I think I got it. All I did was pushed it down firmly in and it worked.
Hah yeah

[Q] What is the draw with samsung pay?

I didn't want to clutter up the root thread asking but some people seem very bent on being able to keep samsung pay but why? Isn't it pretty much just google pay just from a different company? I never use things like this so I am not sure if you get some kind of bonus or something using it.

Samsung pay works anywhere (even terminals where apple pay &Android pay don't).
It's really cool when u pull your phone out and the cashier say w"we don't have that here" and it works.

Okay so it's no different from just cards with tap to pay chip in them. I can see why some people care then but I don't know root or being able to use my phone as my wallet is a toss up.

No it's different Samsung pay will work on a regular "dumb"terminal where others won't
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
I use to root every phone I had within moments of getting it. I liked Android Pay and on the Nexus 6 was not happy when on Marshmallow they took away Android Pay if the phone was rooted, however someone very smart figured out how to get around this. However on the S7 Edge root was not there right away and got to where I was using Samsung Pay a few times a week. I like being able to not have to pull out my wallet in stores and just tap my phone and pay. Since this works at I would say 85%+ plus of stores it because a standard that I expect to be able to do. Now that phones don't have to have root and custom roms to make them work good out of the box I would not trade having root to give up Samsung Pay.

And you my friend made the best reason to get it, where do I sign?
The only time it won't work is on magnetic card readers that has a manual switch that a physical card has to touch to activate the magnetic head.
Can you guys list where it has worked for you (besides walgreens) so I won't look stupid when the clerk says "I told you so!"?
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
Works damn near everywhere I tried, even on those old school terminals with the keypad. Since Samsung pay started, I've made about $200 dollars from promotions. New device promotions, being the first 100 to use any hour on a specific day, and referrals.
Places I used it at ......
7 Eleven
Rite Aid
Nike Town
Random corner grocery stores (most have the old school terminals).
Paid a contractor that had a plug in mag strip on his iPad. (I was surprised that worked)
Best Buy
MicroCenter
Apple Store
Random Super markets
Random clothing stores
and etc ....
So.. the few seconds it takes for you to pull out your phone, you pull out your wallet instead.

Actually Samsung Pay is faster. Loading your card into chip terminals takes longer to process. Sometimes you have to swipe first, then insert into chip reader. On mag strips only, sometimes my card or the mag strip reader itself doesn't read properly, I would have to swipe more than once. And also, using Samsung pay is more secure.

Talk about extra security.... paying either way with Samsung Pay is tokenized... so even if they some "dupe" the transaction, the information is useless... that's not lazy, that's just smart.... :highfive: :good:

Why pull out your wallet from your back pocket, use the other hand to take your card out from whatever slot it's on, hold your walllet with one hand while with the other had making sure you have the card facing correctly so you can swipe or insert it properly, then swipe your card or insert your card in the chip reader (hopefully you won't accidentally leave it if you're in a rush), then when done, open wallet, put card back in with the other hand, put wallet away, then grab your stuff.
When you can just take your phone out with one hand, wake up your phone, swipe up from bottom to launch Samsung pay, approve to use it with your finger print and put the phone next to the magnetic card swipe. When done just put your phone away all with 1 hand.
But if you feel it's all about the same then who cares whichever people use. Having options are always good in my book [emoji106]
Unless you happen to forget your wallet and you have only your phone, without Samsung pay then there's no option but to drive all the way back home. Lol

I'll call from the year 2025 and let you know if it works. Still, that seems an extra step with less security.

Has anyone been able to use Samsung Pay recently?

Has anyone been able to use Samsung Pay recently? I've been trying to use up the $20 Samsung Pay gift card so I can double dip and see if I can get a $10 on my loaner S7 Edge, but all the terminals I've tried to use it on won't work with it. It just keeps pulsing while I hold it over the scanner but it never gets read by the register.
Target: bonus gift card and my regular VISA card didn't work on the self checkout lane
Walmart: bonus gift card and my regular VISA card didn't work on the self checkout lane
Walmart: bonus gift card and my regular VISA card didn't work on the normal checkout lane BUT this was the same register I first used Samsung Pay on to get that $20 bonus gift card and it worked then.
I want to try fast food places next but I really don't want to look like a total dumbass holding up the line while waving my phone at the card reader and frantically trying to go through different cards
Thought it was just me. I finally got it to work at Fry's (grocery store).

Mine wasn't working on my old Note 7, one I traded in for the new one it started working.
Ps. Make sure to update the the app.
I used it at a vending machine the same day i got the new phone..and it worked fine as usual.
I would suggest updating the app if you havent done so.
I Found you need to use it as a Credit Card to work. Mine only worked at Shell when rung as a Credit Transaction.
Thanks guys, I was thinking something was wrong with Samsung's network or the recent update screwed something up since it wasn't working anywhere when it used to. Guess I'm just gonna have to try using it in more places to see if I can get it to work.
i have been using it fine on my V1 note 7. even updated to the newest version on the note and it still works fine
Works fine every time with my v1 and v2. No problems here. It's usually quicker than swiping a card, or about the same speed.
I, not sure.
Everything was setup correctly and all my infor is there.
I try it today at the store and the pad said card read error. I did it to times and same thing.
But then i used my real card and same thing. The lady had to swipe my card on her side. So i think it was just there pad but it still seems to work.

V1 and V2 both working fine. And because I started from scratch on my V2, I got a second $10 Visa when I made my first transaction with the new phone. So all is good.
