Hi All,
I just discovered that RBC have added the ability to use their debit/credit cards with Samsung Pay. I excitedly added my debit & credit card and successfully activated both of them. I can open Samsung Pay from swiping up from the home screen and select either of the payment methods. My problem is so far I have tried numerous different locations over the last few days and when I present the phone to the payment terminal it simply doesn't register. No errors at all just nothing. I tried removing the phone from the Otterbox Symetry case but it didn't make a difference. I also deleted the app and re installed it. Still no joy. My wife has an S8 Plus and her Samsung Pay works with no issues whatsoever even with a really cheap folio case.
I would love to hear from anyone that is using Samsung Pay on the S9 Plus in Canada, particularly with RBC cards. Not sure if I am doing something stupid but I'd love to get it working.
Regards
Richard
This is how it works for me in the UK
Open samsung pay, tap where it says credit/debit cards, tap on the card you want to use.
Now you have two options. If you are using fingerprint unlock then use it now and the app will display your payment card on a black background and the phone starts to vibrate and you have 30 seconds to make the payment.
If you are using pin, tap on the pin button and enter your pin number then same thing will happen.

Are you using your iris or fingerprint scanner to initiate the payment process? It's not as effortless as Android pay. It has the added redundancy.

I tried again last night with no luck,
I unlocked my phone, swiped up from the bottom of the home screen, selected my RBC debit card then used my fingerprint. This initiated the 30 second countdown. I placed the phone over the terminal exactly where the NFC receiver is both horizontally & vertically. It would not recognize the payment, no errors. I eventually had to use my actual debit card

I understand you can install Xposed framework & then spoof Google wallet to work in the UK, but I'm still curious, are there any Google wallet alternatives for the UK? Thank you!

If you're talking about contactless payments, Orange do a "Quick Tap Wallet" app. Unfortunately it's only usable if you're on Orange and have a Galaxy S3 purchased directly from them. O2 may have something similar, but I've not looked into it.

O2 have their wallet app but it doesn't support NFC payments yet. I read somewhere else in a forum that they would have it ready when the time is right. The Visa payWave app is coming at the end of the year, well at least that's what they put at the bottom of the screen during their advert. Google wallet does suport debit and credit cards now, so if you can get it working in the UK then it will work with more ease. Finally, Orange Tap to pay uses the sim card as a secure element, so it will work on most devices apart from nexus because google wants their customers to use wallet.
So really the only hope is Visa payWave for the moment.
Ignore this post if you’re not on EE (a UK network).
Though not widely advertised, Cash on Tap, (EE’s NFC payment app) does work on the Xperia SP (the EE website is ambiguous – in places it says the SP can use the service, but on the device compatibility web page the SP is not listed).
It’s a decent service and perhaps more reassuring than contactless payment cards because you top it up with how much you want, rather than it having direct access to your bank account/credit card balance. It can also be used as a virtual payment card – so if you’re ordering online from a website you’re unsure about and don’t want to give them your normal credit/debit card you can use the details on the virtual card. If it’s a dodgy website and they try and take more money, the most they can steal is the balance of your ‘tap wallet’.
More good news is that they give you £5 just for installing the app and a further £5 when you add money to the service – so yes, you get given £10 for doing next to nothing and who can argue with free money?
I bought my lunch using my phone yesterday, which whilst a bit geeky, did make me feel kind of cool (I know that in other parts of the world NFC payments are used a lot more, but it’s not common in the UK). I felt at the forefront of technology for once.
Anyway, what is evident is that for security purposes, to start using this service your device has to be authenticated by EE - you download a bridging app (cash on tap), then EE check your credentials (which can take two hours) and once this is done you are allowed to download the ‘tap wallet’ which is the app which actually allows you to make NFC payments.
Unfortunately part of this process involves validating the firmware of your phone and you simply won’t be allowed to install this service if you are using a custom rom.
However, if you install both parts on stock, set up your account etc. and make a CWM backup you can use Nandroid manager to restore the apps and data to a custom ROM (I guess this will work with Titanium too?) and the service will work perfectly, though I suspect if they update either app you will lose the service and have to do everything again.
EDIT: Also, you need an NFC enabled SIM from EE for this to work. Check your SIM card, if it has an N after the string of numbers it is the correct type, otherwise you'll have to get one from EE.
Sorry to bring up an old post, but do you (or anybody) know if this process would work to get it onto a different handset rather than just a different ROM?
I use this a lot but want to use it on my nexus5...

With the recent update, is it possible that a new sim card (like maybe the one that works with Isis) would allow the tap to pay feature?
In order to use Google wallet, you need NFC, but not a different SIM card

I was just chatting with Verizon, and asked why Google Wallet would not tap n pay, he said I needed a NFC Sim card. He is sending me one at no charge. What is the difference between the NFC sim and the NFC battery? Why was the S4 not shipped with a nfc sim? I am not even sure if this will work... will let you know.
Thanks! Keep us updated.
The SIM card that Verizon sends you is for their app that they use for mobile transactions, is is. You need a special SIM for that to work. For Google wallet, you don't need that. All you need is a NFL capable device and you are good to go!

As with past experiences with Big Red I am not surprised that the customer service rep has no clue as to the actual service they offer. I have installed the new Google Wallet on my S4, with the NFC battery that came with the phone ( maybe someone can explain to me what the battery has to do with NFC? ). But I dont see an option to use tap n pay. I am rooted with Safestrap, and was contemplating installing the mod for GW, but now I see it has been abandoned. If I am missing something, maybe someone could point me in the right direction? I will get the sim that I ordered when I return from vacation, but I doubt it will have any effect. Would there be any other benefit from using the different sim card?
P.S. I would like to see this NFL sim card...

Since you are rooted and have SS installed you can install a functional tap to pay by 2 different methods. I have provided links to both methods below. The older method appears to be more stable. Hope that helps.

If you look at the thread with Gw 2 they have abandoned it... GW 1 is still buggy...
I have been using the 1st version due a while now an it has been working flawlessly

Are you able to take the Sim card out of your phone and put it in the watch for standalone use? Also, can you trim a micro Sim to a nano Sim? I've trimmed a standard Sim to a micro Sim before, just not a micro to a nano.
I just want to be able to swap the Sim from phone to watch and watch to phone when I want to and avoid having to put a plan on the watch.
On at&t at least, you can do that.. Not sure about other carriers. Trimming a micro to nano is possible, but the contacts on a micro are larger than they are on a nano, so you have to cut it precisely to avoid having a part of the contacts exposed at the edge. Then you need to get a really good nano adapter b/c the cheap ones don't fit well, and can catch the sim pins on the phone & ruin your sim tray
Had anyone tried moving their SIM card from phone to watch and back again? Sometimes I'd like to leave the phone at home but still be able to make a call in a pinch.
I was thinking about going to AT&T store to swap my micro SIM card for a nano SIM card. Then I'd use an adaptor to put the card back in my Note 3.
Thanks.
Kory
Hey, I have a S5 and plan on putting a nano sim in it. I already ordered the adapter and waiting for it to come in.
I plan on walking into att and asking for a nano sim. I have an iPhone 5 to carry in if they ask why.
But i don't plan on daily swaps.

The best would be to clone your sim, but that's illegal of course
Yeah, I know. Not doing anything illegal in here.
But i did walk into at&t and got a new nano sim and ordered the adapter for really cheap online for my Galaxy s5.
It all works and easy to switch back and forth. I'll go for a run tomorrow and try streaming Milk misic, while rumning gps and S health.

So have you done this? Is everything working okay when you switch back and forth?
I was able to pop in the sim. Run, stream milk music, and S health. BUT, it wouldn't sync the S health data, for that run with my phone.
I think the optimum setup for me is to use the Nike app and music stored on the watch for my runs. Streaming milk burns the battery, and I need the power if I have to call for help.
My runs can be hazardous, so I have been focusing, lighting, self defense, and layering up against the cold.

Instead of constantly doing this, why note just order a H2O SIM and get a basic plan for it.
You can get a 90-day plan for $10. It's probably all that you need, assuming you don't burn through data like crazy on the watch. Seems a lot more sensible than switching SIMs around constantly and risking damage to the phone. Those SIM adapters are all kinda risky in my opinion. I had to repair an S4 that one of them damaged a few months ago.
Don't quote me here- i BELIEVE the watch doesn't even need to be SIM-unlocked to use H2O. That's the case with most AT&T devices and H2O because they use the same network and similar APNs. I got my AT&T Gear S unlocked on day one though so I can't test that for you. You can also call AT&T or go on their site to request the unlock code if needed, assuming it was bought off-contract.
I was using T-mobile for a while but at $20/month after fees it just wasn't worth it. H2O all the way for me.

No don't need a unlock att gear with h2o......i also went h2o....just pop in the sim....they walked me on the apn settings at the dealer store and I was good to go. The only thing we could not get was mms...but that was not big deal for me.
Hello,
I'm confused how Android Pay is supposed to work on S9+ specifically in terms of unlocking phone. I expected if phone is unlocked already I just tap terminal and payment is processed but instead. I power on phone, tap terminal, Pay launches but asks to confirm unlock, at this point Terminal fails and Pay asks me to tap second time.
I'm from South Africa and Samsung Pay only started to work a few weeks ago. I installed the app and then there was an update. I was asked to decide which security option I wanted to use, iris/fingerprint or both. I decided on fingerprint. I have used it a couple of times. In my experience of using it, no issues.. On the lock screen or if the phone is unlocked, there is a small tab on the bottom of the phone. I just swipe up from the bottom and it launches Samsung Pay immediately. You will see your card and security option, in my case I use my finger on the fingerprint reader and it's active for +-30 seconds,(the phone "pulses/vibrates every couple of seconds) then hold against the card machine and when detected, the phone vibrates a bit longer and the card machine asks for pin depending on the bank etc and from there it's a normal transaction.
Yes, Samsung Pay is not an issue, question about Android Pay which works quite different from Samsung Pay.
Well I use it all the time everyday to pay and all I do is wait for the machine to ask for the card or contact less and at that point and unlock the phone put next to the reader and that's it payment done.

What happens if you phone is already unlocked when you powered it on? Does it ever prompt you second time to verify your Iris/Fingerprint?
Well to be fair there was a few times when waiting I was playing with the phone and she did activated it and all I did was put on top of it and did pay for it. Now there is the fact that to pay for things u do need to be fairly close to the NFC chip or u won't pay so don't think is any danger in people trying to get the phone to do payments plus u get the notification. With all of that said don't know if u go to settings u can choose to register finger every time u want to pay.
