Samsung Pay on non-Samsung phones

TimurFayzullin — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 09:33:14 GMT

I have got OnePlus 3T and I want to buy new Samsung Watch 46mm. The only thing that stops me - Samsung Pay doesn't install on non-Samsung phones! WHY??? I want to pay by NFC, but I don't like Samsung phones...

I have just purchased a Gear S3 frontier. When I try to use Samsung Pay on the watch it wants me to first install it on my (non-samsung) phone, which of course I cannot do. So Samsung Pay will not work on my watch. So can you please tell me how you got it to work on your watch without a Samsung phone

I am using a non-samsung phone and had the same problem installing from the app. I installed it manually outside of google play and outside of the Gear , you can follow this thread https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Smartphones-Tablets-Wearables/Galaxy-Watch-Samsung-Pay-plug-In-not-installing/td-p/698503/page/2

I have a huawei p20 pro and can not set up samsung pay. Also, you can set up on the clock no google pay. Either Samsung changes that, or I'm forced to switch back to apple. I once thought that Android is an open system, that's why I left the iPhone. But it is getting worse with Android and especially Samsung!

If you have a Huawei Google pay will work.

ähä 🙂 No i cant.

The system is simply not marketable. A single payment system would be helpful. This is folk stupidity, if every brand wants to raise their own payment system.

But, and that annoys me the most, I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch and can not use Samsung Pay because I have a Huawei Phone .... wtf ?!

To use the Samsung Pay on a Gear S3 with a Huawei you need to install the Samsung Wear app and pair with the watch.
When you open the app, you will find a "Payment" option where you can open Sansung Pay. It is very slow, so just tap once and wait till Samsung Pay opens.

It will ask to install some Plugins. Just do it and it will work. (Well, it worked for me with a S3 on my P30 Pro).

It works only if you have a compatibile CSC - county code. If not, you have to change the country code say, to GB first.

There are tutorials for that

As a solution I suggest a duplicate of the SIM card that has not been used with an NFC Samsung payment after.

A duplicate card does not cost expensive, about € 5 and can solve the problem, since there is a link between Service, SIM and the NFC in a Samsung Mobile, I guess for the MST chip.

Please comment on the answer and select as a solution if it worked for you, so that other users of the Community can be aware of it.

Greetings to all

I have a Gear S3 Frontier and use Samsung Pay with it. It has worked with my Pixel 1 and now my Pixel 4. You have to allow for apps outside the play store to be installed for the Samsung pay app to be installed by the Wear app. Then it works. I wish I could do NFC payments with my phone too, but that isn't possible because the full Samsung Pay app isn't compatible. Samsung wants you to buy their phones can you blame them? If they got monthly security updates and timely UI updates like Pixels do, I might have bought one and put up with the crappy One UI software.

I use an HTC U11 with my Gear S3 Frontier and just use Google Pay on the phone and Sumsung Pay on the watch. Google Pay accepts a few more credit cards than Samsung pay and also works with some transport system cards so I think its a better option on the phone.

Swaped from Samsung G S9 to Huawei P30 Pro.

I like two days battery. 70% left in midnight time.

I do enjoy GPAY. Allowed Samsung Watch to unlock device.

Just swipe up and tap. Good to go.

For credit card add use Wearable app.

I DONT PLAN SWAP SMARTWATCH TO SAMSUNG GALAXY.

I perfecf to keep Samsung Gear 3.
