Mega Samsung Pay Issues

[DexterMurray]

I knew that joining the beta would kill google pay on my phone but not Samsung pay.

Since setting it up its success rate is less than half, most card readers just error upon presentation of device, but on the odd case it works fine so I'm not sure what's happening.

I have SP updated and I even set up a routine to turn off the NFC when the wallet isn't active as I found toggling it manually help increase the success rate sometimes, but it's still incredibly unreliable. 

Has anyone had a similar issue and can pass on advice. Oh and while I remember I have Samsung Pay on my watch 5 Pro and that works about 80% of time so I doubt it's a problem with the card and before the beta Google Pay worked 100% of time, so shouldn't be a phone issue either.

I've posted this a number of times already. You need to set Samsung Pay as the default in the NFC Settings.

Samsung Wallet doesn't require you NFC turned on for mobiles. It requires on watches. And most of our Wallet is working fine

[DexterMurray]

I'm not sure this is accurate as after changing the NFC settings is advised above its worked flawlessly (touch wood) lol

@DexterMurray,

I have no issues with the Samsung Pay app.

Please, report your problem via the Samsung Members app attaching log files, so that our developers can analyze it .
