Hello all,
I got the Gear S and Note 4 a few days ago. When i'm trying to "Get More Applications" (last menu option on the watch itself), I'm getting the following error message on the Note 4 screen (Samsung Gear Apps).
" Error This device does not support Samsung GALAXY Apps. Check available devices on the Samsung GALAXY Apps website. (1004) "
Gear S: SM-R750D
Note 4: SM-N910U
Got the Gear S in Tokyo, Japan and ordered the Note 4 from Expansys website so i don't think it's a region issue? I tried connecting VPN to many locations, cleared cache.. no luck.
I'm using the latest firmware, updated everything. I would assume that Note 4 is compatible with Gear Apps.
Any help would be great!
Don't you need an app on your phone for that process to work?

What do you mean? Samsung Gear is already installed on the phone. All options are working except the "Samsung Gear Apps " .. that's where you can access the Gear apps and that's where i'm getting the error message.
The person is saying that you need to download the app from the phone in order to install it on the gear. Instead of get more apps on the watch go to Samsung Gear app on the phone and click Samsung Gear Apps and try to download. From my understanding the phone will download the apps to the gear unless tizen has its own app store built inside the watch it self
The same problem as me. I got It asswell from Japan.Maybe the same seller on ebay.
Maybe when it is launched in our contries, (me I am in Spain) with a samsung store update its solved or changing the rom for it to recognazile it. My model is ending in d too. I posted my problem a few days ago in opera mini browser thread. Have a look. Also paired with a note 4 ending in F, tried with a note 3, it didnt work. Everything works except you said. I think its a country problem

yes i think the problem is the location. I read your thread but i couldn't see any solution yet. I bought it in Docomo shop in Tokyo and got Note 4 from Expansys
I called tech support but the device is not supported yet so he said to wait until November 7 (US release).
I tried by odin diferents firmwares but it dint let me to install them. Mabey changing the mobile region or lets wait. If you find out please let me know.

Yes for sure.. if you find it yourself, let me know too! Can't get any apps!
I will try to go Docomo today and pair the Gear S with their phone. If i have the Gear S and another android from the same shop/region, it could work. They have Note 3 and S5. Will try both.

Well.. I came back from the Docomo shop and I installed the Gear Manager on their demo phone. I connected the gear s with the phone and .. it worked without problems. I installed many apps (ex: mini opera, etc)
So the problem is really related to location/model of the phone. Now, I don't want to go to the store to browser the apps! Hopefully Samsung will fix that.
Thanks a lot for your answer. I have to wait to the 14th and it is launched here in Spain and then an update to fix. Looks like the european phone and japanese watch dont work together only for the apps. Another solution is buying the note edge from docomo. They have it already realased. Jejje. Ok my friend. We keep in touch if we see any update or saomething elle.

I believe he is saying his Gear S is a different region than his Note 4 so he went to the store where the Note 4 has the same region as his gear S to test it works. So his Note 4 is a no go until Samsung updates this phone to handle the Gear S. But the demo phone in store runs the firmware compatible with his Gear S that he bought

Correct.. Except I don't think the Gear has anything to do with it. The problem is within Samsung Gear Manager I believe. Also, I was able to install new apps in the store but when you connect it back to your own phone, the Gear S required factory reset! So it's useless. back to square one.
Hope it's just a question of updating the software. I will wait one week

Ok so the Gear S can only be paired to one device at a time or it will factory reset to use a new device. That sucks. Well hopefully the gear manager will be updated Nov 7th with the USA release or sooner so that your gear S can properly connect to your Note 4

The problem with ours is model ending in D (SM-R750D), the japanese versión, so is diferent country from our note versión aswell, I have been told today by a guy from Samsung that it should to be fixed by an update, hope so too.
Try by odin to install on the watch the latest firmware from sammobile but the watch does´t let do it, neither with others firmware. It souhld be any other way to get the apps and install them from the computer.

Samsung needs to fix country compatibilities, but I don´t know if they will do it. The american versión Galaxy works for sure fine with the american versión watch already. Cause, here in Spain, they do. I just went to a shop and paired the sample watch with another note4 european versión and I was able to download apps, so the software for the same región are already update for supporting this watch, now. they need to update it again to support devices from different regions, don´to know if this happens before with the gear 2 and neo

I'm still having no luck. The Samsung Gear app has been updated Nov.4 and Nov.6 but still doesn't work.
What is your status? Still same?
There should be a way to go around it or fix it...
The same as you, I had gear manager updated this morning but nothing, I think a samsung gear apps update would help, in the meanwhile let´s wait if the update or root it. I orded a new one but here in Spain direct from samsung spain with the circle for free and will give the japan version to my bother.
Have u tried install the apps again in your watch, go home, conect it to the pc and pass the apps to pc,the paired again to ur note and install the apps fron the pc? Damm location

Hi all,
I bought a Gear S in Hong Kong last week.
I am unable to load the Navigator app, and the existing map program called Amap does not seem to work, I can never get it to get a lock onto the GPS.
Also, the Amap program is the only program that is completely in Chinese, the rest of the programs defaulted to English when I set up via my Note 4.
So, is there another firmware I can flash with the English version of everything?
Or does anyone have information on how to use it?
I know that the GPS in the watch works as I used it to find weather info whilst connected to a 3g network in Thailand.
Any help at all would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Just curious as to what the full model number is on your unit? It seems like the last letter on the model designates the watch region. I have one coming from Korea with K as the last digit of the model number (SM-R750K), so I may have a similar issue. Unfortunately, genuine Australian stock is unavailable until mid January.
From my understanding, these watches were specially designed for the providers. That meaning, that they are designed as region specific. Now, most of this is done through software design, some hardware, such as antennas and their design requirements.
The navigation app that comes on the ATT model is called "Here". And, so far, is severely lacking in many ways.
I have a Hong Kong gear s that came with amap app, I downloaded the UK firmware from sammobile and flashed with odin 3.09.
It rebooted to the clock face with the amap app still there BUT a simple factory reset on the gear S brought the here maps icon up and NO amap app.

The US T-mobile version ends with a T, the ATT version with an A.. Guessing the Verizon with a V and Sprint with an S?

Mine was imported from Hong Kong and I flashed the btu (British ) rom without issue. I'm by no way an expert, might be worth a PM to cipherswitch he has a rom thread over in the development section. Hope it works out for you.
Yes. I have a Russian Gear, and re-flashed it in around 10 mins with UK firmware to get the right updates. Surprised at how easy it was!
bands
i am in the us... if I flash the btu firmware will it possibly read my sim card? or are the bands inside the watch phone completely different.

Hi there
any link with instructions for this?? I know how to flash firmwares on cellphones using using Odin and I know where I can download them for my N4. But I'm kinda lost for the Gear S ;-; I just bought a brand new one on eBay for 25 bucks, it's model number is SM-R750K, it should be here in a few days.

The R750K will not work in the US.
Hey All,
The region lock on the Gear S might not be playing much of a role. It seems the actual device running the Gear Manager determines the availablility of apps for the Gear S. My SM-N9005 is originally from Malaysia which has a CSC of (XAR). And when my SM-R750P (with Japan Rom) is connected to it, I lose access to tons of apps. However, if I use my Tab S (SM-T700) with CSC Code XAR (US Cellular South), I have access to a lot more Apps.
The point here; changing the firmware of the Gear S doesn't seem to be that significant to obtain Apps from the Galaxy App stores.

Wondering if you received the watch yet, and if it was working for you. I was also thinking about picking up that deal, but don't want to pay any amount for an unusable watch.
Does the region lock on the gear s from abroad still active even if you flash a uk btu rom? Ie my fruend is giving me his from UAE he knows nothing about tech so explaining to him to put his uae sim in the watch and make a call to disable the region lock he prob wont do.
If he doesnt and it's never been used with a sim. Ic i flash the uk btu firmware will the region lock change to a uk one instead or is it hardware region lock as opposed to software?

Didn't work for me because I had already tried installing it that way. Couldn't install the framework because I have a newer or equal version already and i can't uninstall it (won't let me). Meh I guess I'm stuck with Android pay until then. At least I have Samsung pay on my gear S3 for now

Here is the proof of it working. When I called to activate the cards, the rep actually confirmed my phone was a note 8. A server issue maybe?
Thanks. I'll call CIBC and see what they say.
I was able to add my CIBC card on the S3 Frontier, LTE USA version.
for zip code, I entered 00000
You can always contact CIBC if support is needed, they can activate it on their end too.
I called CIBC and they were unable to help. The only solution they had for me was to try to send me a new card. I just cancelled it. Can't be bothered tbh...

Can someone please post an apk for the Canadian version of this new release?
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B00KjJ3CngGqdjFJeFRmeHhlUTg/view?usp=drivesdk
I can't seem to get the Canadian variant of Samsung pay to load up on my device. I tried installing the framework and apk posted above. I bought my note 8 from the states and that's probably what's happening, not sure how to fix it.
It keeps defaulting to the US version where I can see all the US stores and banks. It works when I put in my Scotiabank card so I'm not sure what's going on.
On Bell, couldn't get it to download samsung pay and this method didnt work either. Uninstalled the samsung pay main apk a few days ago but was surprised to see samsung pay in the galaxy appstore today. Downloaded it through there and it worked perfectly now.
I can't seem to install the package it says package appears to be corrupt. I have the Singapore version and am on bell.
Switching from a Galaxy s8. Installed Gear S app which prompts to Gear S plugin and also Samsung Accessory Service plugin. Once installed, phone connects to Gear s3 Frontier fine. Transfers seem to be using WiFi Direct (not bluetooth). Once configured, notifications come across fine. The issue is when you try to use Samsung Pay (from either the Gear S app on the phone or from the Gear s3). When trying to launch from Gear s3, it prompts you to check your phone. It's suppose to download/install Samsung Pay for Gear. Instead it crashes on the phone. Then, in some instances, the Gear S plugin continues to crash over and over (a pop up appears every 10 seconds or so), even after closing the Gear s3 app. Have to reboot phone or battery drains quickly.
I had to uninstall/re-install components (which resets the Gear s3) and NOT try to start Samsung Pay to get the watch to be functional.
I know that it worked on my HTC One fine (was using while waiting for LG V30 to arrive).
Is anyone else experiencing this or gotten Samsung Pay for Gear to work on the LG V30?
Thanks!
You probably won't get Samsung pay to work on a nonsamung device. But good luck to you
Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk
Works fine on my LGV20. Im waiting for V30 to arrive. Samsung may need to just push out an update. They've been surprisingly good with supporting non Samsung phones.
So I got it to work. Samsung Gear app/plugin kept choking on Samsung Pay Plug in install. Searched and found the apk. Samsung Pay for Gear 1.5.2005. Installed it and all is working!
Hope this helps someone.

It's been working on other Android devices for a long while now. Not from the phone itself, but from the Gear s3. The issue was that the Gear s3 needs an android phone to register to. Still doesn't work on iOS.
Had to soft reset my Gear S3 and it looked to hang during initial setup with the v30 -- But I set it up again and everything works (including Samsung Pay)
LG G7 Thinq and Samsung Pay
I was having the same issue. I have used SP in the past with my gear S3 with non Samsung phones and on Samsung phones. I have always got the rewards and I have had full functionality of the app using my watch only. To use the app from the phone without the watch does require it be a Samsung phone, but not for full functionality from the watch. After getting this new phone however, the watch synced up fine, but SP would not finish installing. I noticed the earlier post about installing the older version of SP, it installed and immediately told me to update to the most recent version to continue. I selected OK, and it updated and the app installed and I was able to add my credit cards and it is now working again. I found the older version I installed by searching for;

Here in Sweden we officially only have the 64 GB SM-N950F and FD versions available, but since I want masses of storage AND dual SIM cards I decided to go for the Hong Kong version of the SM-N9500 via http://wondamobile.com. In case anyone else is considering doing the same, I thought I would contribute my experience in detail.
TL, DR: Wonda Mobile have been great, they have answered my e-mails promptly and paid the import customs for me very quickly, but I haven't yet tried the phone. (Opening it on Xmas Day.)
I ordered the phone on a Wednesday evening, it arrived the following Monday.
They informed me in an order confirmation e-mail that they would pay any customs charges added. When I received a payment link from DHL, I sent it to Wonda Mobile and they quickly paid it for me.
The phone came with a UK/HK plug, not Euro / F-type sadly. It would have been great if they switched the plug to match the customer’s country of residence. But I was prepared beforehand to keep using some of my current Note 4 chargers (which provide the same amps and volts) with new USB-C cables.
The seal on the box had been cut open. Everything seemed untouched though, so I didn't understand why it had been opened. When I asked Wonda Mobile about it they replied: “Most of our products will unseal for quality check before ship. And it is 100% brand new.”
I started up the phone quickly to check that it was factory reset and the setup guide was already in English. Does anyone know if English is the default in Hong Kong?
My intention is to update this thread when I have tried the phone out. Primarily I'm curious about how/if Samsung Pay will work here in Sweden.
I have the same phone ... Samsung Pay doesn't work here in the UK. I think it will only work in Hong Kong. Enjoy your phone ... it's a great piece of kit!

From what I know Sam pay will only work if the bank you use has made an agreement with your bank. In UK I don't think they have any agreement yet as I was unable to use it and when I looked into it they only have less then 10 banks in their scheme. It said on their website that they are working on getting more banks to join Sam pay. Hope they get the UK banks to sign up quick.
I doubt it will work in Sweden yet or anywhere else in Scandinavia.
Thanks for the replies.
Regarding Samsung Pay, I have yet to try it out IRL, but I have added my debit card and it seems to be setup properly. Here in Sweden, Samsung Pay actually seems to have come quite a long way. Several of the major banks support it, including mine (Swedbank), and supposedly nearly all card transaction machines have support for it too. The setup was straight forward and I haven't had to do anything special to get it to work. (But again, I haven't actually tried to use it to pay yet.)
Overall, I'm very pleased with the phone so far. But setting it up can be a little overwhelming. There are so many options and features, and it takes a lot of energy to make informed decisions on all the options.
The phone seems to have come with a full set of languages available. The Swedish language is fine, but has some rough edges here and there. For some reason, the phone came with Facebook and Word, Excel and Powerpoint apps pre-installed and they cannot be (easily) uninstalled, so I have disabled them for now.
Since the phone came with a UK plug I have ordered a EURO type Samsung USB C charger, as well as two Belkin 2 metre USB 2.0 USB A to USB C cables. I hope the latter will be able to deliver full power from the adaptive fast chargers (9V & 1.67A).
I asked for a Rhinoshield Crashguard for Xmas, so that's what I'm using for protection at the moment. I've also got a DBrand black dragon skin for the back which I haven't applied yet. (I'm still very much enjoying the ocean blue back colour.)
I used Sam Pay today and it worked fine!
That's awesome. Sounds like you made a good decision with the N9500. You got all the features you want and Samsung Pay works natively.
I'm jealous of the 256GB of storage, but I love my black N950U. These are amazing devices for sure.
I bought the 128gb version and tried SamPay today. Worked a treat!
Still a bit gutted that the region can't be changed to UK for the offers and loyalty cards but hey, 128gb blue

Cool! Glad to hear it works in the UK too. I wonder if my Swedish setup will work when I visit next time?
You need the "Samsung pay framework apk" and "samsung pay apk" for you country/region. Reinstall it and Samsung pay will work again

Thank you!
I extracted the APK from an s7 but on installing it framework it threw up an error and didn't allow it.
Is that because it was from an s7?

Can't you just download the official firmware (through Sammobile or using SamFirm) and flash it using Odin?
I’d rather pay some one to do it

I bought mine from Samsung.com and noticed that it says "Unlocked by Samsung" on the box. I don't know if that means the device isn't actually a Tmobile unit though. Anyways, Samsung Pay doesn't work for me. When I install it from Okay I Store, it says this device isn't compatible. When I install it from the Galaxy App store, it tells me a new update is available and the new features are "Brand new UX" and when I press OK, it just closes the app. Is it just because the phone isn't officially released yet or is it a software issue? Thanks.
If it says unlocked by Samsung you do not have the TMobile version.

Mine is SMG965U1ZKAX. I ordered a T-Mobile Midnight Black S9+ From Samsung.com. Everything about it seems like it's an unlocked model. I don't even get the T-Mobile splash screen when I reboot the phone. If it really is the unlocked version, I'm guessing that model hasn't been updated to support Samsung Pay yet. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I got the unlocked version instead of the T-Mobile version.
I went back to my order receipt/emails and checked to make sure I even ordered the T-Mobile model. Turns out, it's the Unlocked model. I know for a fact I chose the T-Mobile option but I guess not. Was the Unlocked S8+ compatible with Samsung Pay?
If you do not have a T-Mobile folder with T-Mobile apps on your phone, it means is not from T-Mobile.

I'm having the EXACT SAME ISSUE, but I'm on the unlocked U.S. version direct from Samsung on AT&T. It's been driving me crazy. Made the rounds on both AT&T's and Samsung's customer service phone lines and online chats. No help.
Any solution?

Turns out I do ha e the unlocked model. Haven't found a solution for samsung pay yet, though.
You guys probably have to wait for actually launch date I'm pretty sure this happened with the note 7... They don't push all updates unfortunately until launch dates for some services. So I'm sure within the next 3 days it'll be updated to support the unlocked variants

What doesn't work? My app launches and it allows me to sign in and add a card. I have not tried to use it as of yet. My phone is unlocked Coral Blue and has a Verizon SIM in it. I got the phone at 1030 and turned it on. About an 1 hour ago a update came. I didn't add Samsung Pay until after the update.
I got my unlocked from Samsung S9+ delivered today (3/14). With a Verizon SIM I was able to add a card to Samsung Pay and use it successfully at Best Buy.

Here's a link to a screen shot I took of the issue. It says Not compatible. It only shows this if I download from the Play Store.

I get this when I install from Galaxy Apps. When I press the OK or Cancel button, the Samsung pay just force closes. There's no updates for Samsung Pay in the Galaxy App store or the Play Store either.

I did get a software update this morning which I installed, but Samsung Pay still gives me the same errors. I called Samsung Pay Support a few hours ago and the guy basically said it's a known issue with the S9 and S9+ and that there should be an update pushed out "Soon" that'll fix it. Other than a factory reset, I think my only option is to wait. I'd rather not reset my phone unless I absolutely have to because I hate getting things set up again, lol.
Edit: I should probably add, I can't even set up Samsung Pay. I get those error messages any time I try to launch the app.
There's an update in the Galaxy App store and it's working for me now. Another user on reddit let me know about it.
