Well, I've today contacted Samsung in an attempt to actually leave the beta and am more than a little dismayed that there is no actual way to leave the beta once you're in it.  Just wondering if anyone knows of a way at all that I've not thought of?.

My journey so far is detailed here HELP 

But it seems like once you're in, you're in.

Is this because Google pay isn't working ? Because apart from that the beta is working fine, I don't know why people don't read the terms which state it will stop working.
If you want to leave then goto where you signed up and unregister, you will then need to download smart switch onto a PC and your phone and then revert your firmware, this will factory reset your device so make sure you have contacts etc backed up.

Not just Google Wallet, numerous financial apps are not working such as banking etc.  So "Beta is working fine" is a bit of a stretch, fine for you, but if it was just for you, wouldn't be much of a beta test would it, they'd just ask you.

I think you need to actually read the thread, otherwise you look foolish and uninformed, at which point I don't know why you'd choose to even comment.

Which terms did you read?, mine included term 11 which states:

Give that advice a try, the advice that you're passing out and then come back to me and reply.  It shouldn't take too long before you notice that you don't actually have a downgrade button and so cannot leave the beta.

Give it a spin, then please post back with your findings....I'll wait

I have to say i have none of these issues on the beta. All my banking apps and pay things work.
So thats very strange.
Im very very happy with the beta so far.

Big withdraw button at the bottom of the beta participants settings, click it, then do the rest as the instructions that you copy and pasted yourself say.
However I'm not going to give it a try myself as I don't want to leave the beta, my phone takes me approx 3 hours plus for me to setup from factory reset status and I don't have that kind of spare time, I can live without Google pay for a couple of months just means I need to carry my wallet with me again.
End of the day, we all get the same beta to basically the same device so trying clearing caches etc.
No issues with 3 banking apps here I use Lloyds Santander and Barclays all working.
There is another way to downgrade, you will need to goto sammobile and download the Android 12 firmware specific for your device and flash it via Odin.Screenshot_20220905_121008_Samsung Members.jpg

I do see a downgrade button on Samsung smartswitch. If you don't see it, you will need to check that you have the latest version as I received an update on the weekend and had to update the application.
