Used it for the first time this morning at the car wash. Worked perfectly.
When you say it isn't working, are you meaning you can log in and setup your Credit Card and such or that is doesn't work at the terminal?
I got everything setup last night but haven't tried to use it anywhere yet.
Go into samsung pay settings and turn simple pay on for the number of options there.
Same issue on my wife's.. mine works fine (Black) hers acts like the service isn't available (Coral Blue)
Even though she was using it on her Note 5...?
What color are you guys that are having this issue? I am wondering if there is something different by color.. I know it sounds weird, but there were differences between my wife's White Note 5 and my Gold Platinum Note 5..
I haven't tried to use it yet, but the app setup fine. I was able to add a bunch of cards as well.

Then yours is fine.. what we're talking about, is it doesn't even allow you to get to the setup. It acts like the app is "coming soon"
I have a black Note 7 and had the same message last night after receiving my phone. I figured that it was not ready for the note 7 yet, and slept on it. When I tried again this morning it allowed me to log in and set it up just fine. Not sure if this is why it worked the second time, but I restarted my phone this morning after all the installs and cleared the cache. Maybe that had something to do with it?
Been using it perfectly since I got the phone yesterday. Added 6 cards and 3 loyalty cards. Got the 20 dollar promo at best buy getting a screen protector last night.

I just got off the phone with Samsung, was having the same issues, Added that card fine last night, went to try use it today and the card was gone and every time I tried to add it, it kept saying "cannot connect to samsung pay"
They had me open the application manager, force quit the samsung pay "samsung pay framework", clear its cache and then click on "samsung pay" force stop, clear its Cache and it Data.
That forced me to go through the setup again, but allowed me to add my card, and now it seems to be working.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
I didn't use it. However, I noticed an update for it within the Samsung pay app settings, under "about". It should be version 2.2.02. I'm not saying that's the cause, but might help.
i setup mines up last night ok. i added two of my cards. One i did the resend for the activation code 2 times. The other card did work never got one. Then this morning i deleted it and readded and the activation card got sent and work this time.
I remember on my s7 edge when i first got it. samsung pay didnt work. woulnt get pass finger print. Call samsung and they said to delete the samsung pay app data and cache.
Once i did that the s7 edge setup fast and easy.
Worth a shot if you guys n girls are still having problems.
Mine worked perfectly at Walgreens and I got a 20 dollar Samsung gift card

Worked great last night at the movies. Even got the free $20 virtual gift card 2 minutes later. Be sure to use Samsung pay at least once to get your free money!

Samsung Pay working for me just like you see on commercials. I get the same reactions too.
I notice when I took off the locking on lock screen Google pay said it won't work due no lock on lock screen. May be this is same with Samsung Pay.
It stands that if you have stuff like Samsung Pay, Google Pay, etc in your device that you should lock your device too.
-
3rd day now and I still can't register the cards I had on my S7. Tried everything. I guess I'll call Samsung at some point today.
I didn't want to clutter up the root thread asking but some people seem very bent on being able to keep samsung pay but why? Isn't it pretty much just google pay just from a different company? I never use things like this so I am not sure if you get some kind of bonus or something using it.

Samsung pay works anywhere (even terminals where apple pay &Android pay don't).
It's really cool when u pull your phone out and the cashier say w"we don't have that here" and it works.

Okay so it's no different from just cards with tap to pay chip in them. I can see why some people care then but I don't know root or being able to use my phone as my wallet is a toss up.

No it's different Samsung pay will work on a regular "dumb"terminal where others won't
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
I use to root every phone I had within moments of getting it. I liked Android Pay and on the Nexus 6 was not happy when on Marshmallow they took away Android Pay if the phone was rooted, however someone very smart figured out how to get around this. However on the S7 Edge root was not there right away and got to where I was using Samsung Pay a few times a week. I like being able to not have to pull out my wallet in stores and just tap my phone and pay. Since this works at I would say 85%+ plus of stores it because a standard that I expect to be able to do. Now that phones don't have to have root and custom roms to make them work good out of the box I would not trade having root to give up Samsung Pay.

And you my friend made the best reason to get it, where do I sign?
The only time it won't work is on magnetic card readers that has a manual switch that a physical card has to touch to activate the magnetic head.
Can you guys list where it has worked for you (besides walgreens) so I won't look stupid when the clerk says "I told you so!"?
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
Works damn near everywhere I tried, even on those old school terminals with the keypad. Since Samsung pay started, I've made about $200 dollars from promotions. New device promotions, being the first 100 to use any hour on a specific day, and referrals.
Places I used it at ......
7 Eleven
Rite Aid
Nike Town
Random corner grocery stores (most have the old school terminals).
Paid a contractor that had a plug in mag strip on his iPad. (I was surprised that worked)
Best Buy
MicroCenter
Apple Store
Random Super markets
Random clothing stores
and etc ....
So.. the few seconds it takes for you to pull out your phone, you pull out your wallet instead.

Actually Samsung Pay is faster. Loading your card into chip terminals takes longer to process. Sometimes you have to swipe first, then insert into chip reader. On mag strips only, sometimes my card or the mag strip reader itself doesn't read properly, I would have to swipe more than once. And also, using Samsung pay is more secure.

Talk about extra security.... paying either way with Samsung Pay is tokenized... so even if they some "dupe" the transaction, the information is useless... that's not lazy, that's just smart.... :highfive: :good:

Why pull out your wallet from your back pocket, use the other hand to take your card out from whatever slot it's on, hold your walllet with one hand while with the other had making sure you have the card facing correctly so you can swipe or insert it properly, then swipe your card or insert your card in the chip reader (hopefully you won't accidentally leave it if you're in a rush), then when done, open wallet, put card back in with the other hand, put wallet away, then grab your stuff.
When you can just take your phone out with one hand, wake up your phone, swipe up from bottom to launch Samsung pay, approve to use it with your finger print and put the phone next to the magnetic card swipe. When done just put your phone away all with 1 hand.
But if you feel it's all about the same then who cares whichever people use. Having options are always good in my book [emoji106]
Unless you happen to forget your wallet and you have only your phone, without Samsung pay then there's no option but to drive all the way back home. Lol

Yea, that'd be so awesome.
It's surprising as I said, more so now that I've had some time with the watch because it's actually pretty good. I get all day battery life, the watch does a decent job of keeping track of my gym time, I find the assistant useful since I mostly use it to set timers, alarms, various simple things play well on the watch that would have been an assistant search or activity on the phone. Lists, notes, recipes, all work well on the watch. An example would be grocery lists, it's nice to walk through the store while simply glancing at the watch instead of pulling the phone.
All similar to what I did with my previous smartwatches but it all works better here due to the combination of (more fluid) hardware pushing the GUI, AW 2.0, along with the rotating crown to quickly scroll. It's not a huge difference but for me it's pushed smartwatch use into a place where I put my watch on in the morning because I want to, not because I tell myself to use it. My day now includes getting schit done with it, before it really didn't.
Anyhow I hope you gents can pick one up soon. It's so dead here I've stopped checking to see if there was anything interesting to learn.

From what I understand, I do in order to use LTE. I can get it from Verizon or the Google store, neither have them in stock.
Nah, both Verizon and AT&T are bands 2,4, and 5 as is the watch sold on the Google store. Others are reporting it working, do a search to verify but I think your watch is a few clicks away.

That's what i was thinking too
So I ended up buying one from AT&T. When the Verizon rep scanned the IMEI it said invalid. From what I've heard you have to put a SIM in that's already activated for it to work. Some Verizon Reps will do it, some won't. I'll keep you posted as to what I end up doing. I'm happy with it, without LTE.
UPDATE: I put in my SIM out of my tablet, and everything is working as it should.
Hi guys
The preorder is up early morning itself. Place my pre-order for S21 Ultra Phantom Navy (Custom Color) from Samsung Online. Noticed the special note that it will take 3-4 weeks for getting it ready. I hope they deliver sooner than 3-4 weeks.
Whats your choice guys? Model-Color etc.
Thanks.
Anyone from Australia got their phone yet?
Ordered mine on the 21st and in my hand on the 25th January (Vodafone).
Upgraded from an S9+ and very happy (so far).

My Phantom Silver 512GB model is single SIM. Was given an option to use eSIM but stayed with the physical SIM I had in my S9+.
Coming from the S9+ it's taken a while to retrain my brain to use the in-screen fingerprint scanner.
Other than that; the only annoying bug is the occasional switching back to the One UI 3.1 launcher (from Nova Prime).
Other than that, I'm very happy so far. I do miss having the option to use sdcard expansion. Transferred 3,500 odd photos and 5,000 odd MP3s from the S9 to the S21 and still have 75% free.
I tend to take far more still images than video so the physical storage limitation shouldn't cause me any issues but time will tell.

Why? I still find it really baffling that people blame Samsung for the delays. It's the carriers that hold the updates until they've completed testing. It's been that way for as long as there have been galaxy phones. Ranting makes 0 difference, if you want to make a change, don't buy the product, hit Samsung where it actually hurts so they can push carriers to fall in line to an update cycle like apple.

Not everyone buys from carrier. I have Tab S7+ LTE & S21 Ultra bought outright from Samsung online. I don't buy from carriers for the reason you explained above. Samsung completely ignores centain countries in their release cycle.
I want to mention that, both Tab and Mobile got update on the same day after the morning rant. Could be coincidence but I posted my thought to them.
Why I have switch when I am completely ok with Android phones? If I switch, I am one in millions. For Samsung, its nothing. Because I bought Samsung, I didn't sell my soul to them and why I to be quite. If Apple can do it, Google can do it, Samsung can also do it.

You don't understand how it works in Australia then. Regardless of where you bought your phone (samsung, voda, telstra, optus) the carriers test the firmware before it's released <== process takes weeks.

Exactly. But Samsung has no vested interest in doing it when it doesn't impact them selling phones. You just said it, it doesn't stop you from buying the phone, despite you knowing that Australia releases later in the month. If people want a company to change, the most effective way is through $$$ <== don't buy their products so they know things need to change.
I'll also flag that Australia DOES get regular updates out in a timely manner i.e. it's the generally the same time each month. The issue for 'techie' people is that they know it's released in other parts of the world weeks earlier, then get annoyed about it.
If you're bothered by it, use Frija and Odin to flash the latest update manually, it's an easy process and ensures you're on the latest firmware.

Actually you don't understand how it works. All your theory is only true for carrier customised and sold phones. Rest has no relationship. If you look at CSC of unlocked Australia, it different than what sold by Telstra, Optus, etc. Please do some research before you talk about it.

Nope. None of the builds are even touched anymore since multi-csc came into play. But Aussie carriers (as in the wholesalers of the networks not the badge/csc of phone) won't allow the firmware to be pushed until they've ALL tested it. That INCLUDES XSA.
EDIT: changed wording to clarify badge/csc not brand of phone

It's pretty amusing how wrong you are, but given how defensive you're getting, I'll drop it. If you think your ranting and annoyance has any impact, go for it - you keep fighting the fight.
Don't know if this happened to any of you guys before, but long time Samsung user here, been with samsung since original galaxy S series, and bought the note 20 ultra and 10+.
So I sent the s21 ultra in for repair, sim card electrical issue, slow LTE, no 5G, the phone came back LTE speed was fixed but still no 5G.
So I opened another ticket and sent the phone back in, they received it on the 30th, called me on the 2nd said the phone 5G was working and would send the phone back, expect it in 3-5 days.
So here's where it got weird, I got an email saying the ticket was cancelled and phone was being returned unrepaired, expected ship date is the 2nd. Called them few days later on the 4th to make sure everything was shipped because I was not provided with a tracking number ANYWHERE. Not in the email, the ticket tracker, nothing. Ticket was shown it was cancelled.
Called them again on the 6th, that's today and I was told that I would be provided a refund???? They wouldn't tell me why or how much because they're still working on the case and will contact me later, like what?
Did they lose my phone or something in the repair center? Lol
Nah, they just can't repair it I'm sure

Lol very possible. Its weird how it even got passed QA. Putting it in 5G literally gave me NO SIGNAL AT ALL, regardless of which sim card, they actually sent it out like that but I wasnt able to check 5G until recently because we just got 5G a while ago. The fact that they sent it back after the first repair just blows my mind, if they even put in a sim card they could see that 5G doesnt work, also after the newest firmware update, I get eSIM error telling me the eSIM doesnt work and dont even try it.

Don't worry. You should be getting a full refund of the unit price. Now, the question is whether the refund will be calculated on unit's price as on date or the date of purchase. Obviously, the price has tanked over the recent months especially after the launch of the folds...let's hope you get the purchase price back!
