[Q] What is the draw with samsung pay? - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

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.

google it then and see what its about. Believe you will find out information and no need to clutter here with information so readily available for you

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

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.

Used it in Walgreens yesterday and the counter person was saying it won't work because her Apple Pay doesn't work. To her surprise the terminal approved the payment in seconds. Her jaw darn near dropped. Walked out with a smile.

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!"?

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

Google wallet works, however the tap to pay feature doesn't. And that really sucks!
I believe Isis works now with 4.3, and if you flash 4.4 a certain way isis will still work. You'll have to search for that isis thread for more info.
So even with the N900A update this week we still do not have a working Tap to Pay on Google Wallet. I was hopefully both because of their response to my FCC complaint in Nov 13 that said 4.4 would have it and because its my understanding it works on the 4.4 update for the i337 S4.
I'm planning on starting a thread on the AT&T Community Support forums but I'd love to know if there's a simple way around this. I used to love Tap to Pay on my phones circa 2011/12 but I haven't had it for almost 3 years courtesy of all 3 Galaxy Note models. Has anyone attempted to side load the .apk from the Nexus 5?

I too would like tap-to-pay to work in Google Wallet. But I'm curious about why people value tap-to-pay.
I've been using tap-to-pay in Isis Wallet, and it works well. But I find that it's slightly more work to take out my phone, start the wallet app, enter my PIN, and tap than it is to take out my physical wallet, remove the credit card, and swipe. Tap-to-pay is entertaining because it still has novelty value, but I don't see any practical advantage yet.
I was also hoping that the update would include support for tap to pay. I had the X-Note Rom installed for a while and tap to pay surprisingly worked. Probably because it was based off of an international Rom I would assume. I have gone back to stock and not having tap to pay again sucks. I hope Google can force AT&T to let us use it soon.

From a security standpoint it's far more secure than a physical card presented to the cashier. Convenience wise, it's easier to not carry multiple cards and safer too from a potential lose your wallet standpoint.
I agree there's a high level of novelty but it's a useful feature none the less. ISIS is a boondoggle and only works with AT&T provides sim cards. I'm usually on Straight Talk or Go Phone when in the US.

Yes, and unfortunately it still doesn't use the tap-to-pay feature.
I'm like you. When I was with t-mobile, I returned my precious Note3 all because of this stupid carrier blocking this service. I went with the Nexus5.
My wife and I, recently moved to at&t, and knowing the 4.4.2 update was just around the corner, I jumped into another Note3.
Now, since I'm full blown official 4.4.2, I STILL CAN'T USE GOOGLE'S WALLET TAP-TO-PAY FEATURE!!!
WHAT THE HELL!?!?
Even side loading my Nexus5 Google wallet apk, it still won't activate the service I fell in love with on my Nexus5!
Just plain stupid!

Thanks, those are helpful points.
I can see those advantages arising eventually, but for me at least they're not here yet. I only use one card anyway, and until e-wallets are accepted everywhere, I still need to carry the card. Everyplace that accepts e-wallets also allows self-swiping of cards, so there's no cashier risk if I use my card instead of my e-wallet. Card readers can be skimmed, but so can NFC readers.
Nonetheless, I would like tap-to-pay to work.
I came here researching for a friend who wants wallet tap and pay on his AT&T note 3 and I have to comment on the "novelty" factor. I have a t-mobile s4 running TheSickness's Insane Kit Kat V8 and I use tap and pay on a daily basis. I have one bank account and 2 debit cards linked to wallet and each payday I allot myself an amount to use for lunches and things at work. There are two stores beside mine, a drugstore and an upscale, independent grocery store, who both have NFC registers. I don't have to pull out a card or fumble with cash because I already always have my phone in my hand. I tap the card reader and put in my wallet pin and I walk out. It's not just novel, it's incredibly useful and helps me budget my income better. Just my two cents.
Edit : come to think of it, the McDonald's and the subway there both have NFC, too.

NFC can't be skimmed, not like a credit card. While its true the phone is using Host Card Emulation there is little to be gained by capturing the NFC data. The Wallet app communicates with Google's servers to generate unique card data for each transaction. That's why the Google Wallet app only functions when you have internet access.

Any tips for using Samsung Pay at Walmart?

I just can't seem to get Samsung Pay to work with Walmart card readers. Think they have them rigged somehow to help push their Walmart pay service?
I've never got it to work at Walmart. I think it has something to do with their actual card readers not allowing it to work. Probably trying to push their own Walmart pay

Up at self checkout, I can only get one register to work. All the others get card read errors. The one that works, when it asks for my pin, I have to select "change payment method" and select Credit for it to go through. If someone is on this register, I'm screwed.
I had the same issue of it not work and I had left my wallet at home!
We tried for about 3 minutes and little did I know that at least 10 other people were in line behind me LOL
I told the lady at the register I would be back and for her to hold my things ( I never went back)
Always works with me. The cashiers have the shocked look on their faces every time. Lol
Works for me every time at both the self checkout and regular line.
Works fine for me. Used BOA and citi bank cards just fine.
Works for me at Walmart. The only store where I haven't been able to make it work is Lowe's.

It uses both. It uses NFC on tap to pay terminals and the magnetic spoofing on magnetic swipe terminals.
To the OP: I've only been able to use it once in Walmart. I've tried 10 times now at several different Walmarts and have never gotten it to work again, even on the same register where it worked before.

I think he was really meaning that disabling nfc doesn't hinder using Samsung pay.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
Actually it is my understanding that if you have NFC turned off, Samsung Pay will enable it temporarily for the payment and I have seen in settings where NFC goes on in my first Note because one time it failed to turn off after paying.
I have also read in several places that Samsung Pay automatically turns on NFC.

Where as this is true, it is not dependent upon nfc and they enable it to provide both possible options. It is not dependent on if there is a nfc device to tap so in this case if Walmart disables the nfc payment reader our Samsung devices won't care because it will use the mst instead.

Exactly. I just don't get it. Ive been using phone/NFC payments since the Nexus S. It still seems new to ppl.
I think most ppl know about "apple pay".

What if I kept the Note 7 for say... 6 months. Could I still return it?

And get a full refund?
Say i waited til the s8 or Note 8. Could I return it then for a full refund?
If it becomes an official recall, yes. Do you want to take the chance that they'll disable the phone?
Try it and see.
Been talking to tmobile and samsung chat.
This is looking very ugly.
Samsung says the refund and $100 bill credit will end. It has an end window.
Meaning if the note 7 is return outside of this window. You will not be refunded the price of the phone.
Tmobile says that they wont have s7 edge in stock until Nov-Dec.
They also wont let you get a loaner phone. You must exchange your phone for another phone one and that ends that.
So if we keep are phones and samsung kills them off. Lets says Jan 2017 they kill off the phone (nagging update, samsung app, market not working etc..) And give you a deadline for Feb 2017 to return the phone and you dont. Then your be left with a brick that tmobile wont give you any money for in exchange.
So i really thing samsung needs to get sue here. Because this makes no sense.
They want you to return the phone but there arent making enough replacement phone (s7 edge seems to be the best replacement)
Then they are going to make a deadline for the exchange.
The Lady in the chat says that they havent said anything about it yet. But it is in the works.
If Samsung disable the Note 7 through software, then you will have to root it and flash a Tom. Which is what I do will all of my Samsung devices anyway.

Not what my T-Mobile store said. They told me to keep the note as long as I'd like saying that it's better than jump because you could turn it in at anytime you want and wait for a better phone to come out. Liability says they can't just block you from returning the phone.

Yes tmobile said you can hold on to it.
Samsung is the one who said, they will put a deadline on the exchange and bill credit.
Tmobile only knows what samsung tells them.
So while tmobile say keep it and all is fine. Samsung can put a dead line on the return and screw all that up.
Also samsung can not just kill the phone but they can pull all support. So you lose samsung pay, store etc...
Also naging messsge to return the phone (like they did with the v1)
And they said that outside the US they slow down charging speeds and max charge percent.
This is all stuff they can do in an update.
True you dont have to take the update but they will probably do this in the furtrue.
I love the phone and would love to keep it. But if they kill off all support or mess me up on money then i gotta exchange it.
But as of now the way things are going is im going to have the phone until Jan cause there no s7 edge in stock and it would seems that samsung is making more s7 vs making the s7 edge.

I may just keep it for a while until they have some S7 or S7 Edges in stock. As much as I want to keep it, I just don't think it is worth the hassle.
I still have my Note 5, I may just keep it or maybe have it as a back up if I get the edge or s7

I am not the one you should be apologizing to. It's just irritating when someone puts a post that has no relevance to what is being discussed by every in the thread. If you felt you wasted your time by trying to understand what is going on, you should simply ask or refrain yourself from participating.
Moving on.
Take what each side tells you with a grain of salt. Several reps told me there is no timetable because the phone has been recalled. No matter when you return it they have to take it bask.
I spoke with T-Mobile yesterday and they told me that I had 30 days to return the phone... I will call again to see if another rep tells me differently...

Exactly my thought, when was the last reported N7 flame up? Only thing making me thinking of jumping to the S7 edge is the gear Vr... But not enough to make me want to give up my N7v2...

That's what makes me think it was a conspiracy. I've heard some people mention that that Apple people took down the Samsung Giant. I mean really I'm sure there are still thousands and thousands of people with these phones and not one more report. Pretty sketchy to me.

Samsung Pay issues on Pie

Hi all,
I've looked all over but haven't seen anything yet, but is Samsung pay favorite card swipe up not working? Also when launching, it shows the old navigation icons at the bottom. So currently, I'm not able to quickly access my card to make a payment. As a cludgy workaround, I have it on my edge launcher and still have to click through to my card. Any other suggestions? It's also grayed out when using the fingerprint sensor to open.
The swipe up works just fine on mine. And yes it shows the old navbar.
Haven't tried it, but I just wanted to mention that I gave up on samsung pay. It's a memory hog and uses a ton of battery. I just use Google pay as the majority of the places I shop have tap and pay

Weird. I've been using Samsung Pay since the S7Edge. Never had any issues with it being a memory or battery hog, LOL. And Google Pay doesn't even compare to Samsung Pay.
I have no memory issues and 8-10 hours SOT with Samsung Pay activated. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I reactivated Samsung pay, we'll see if I notice a difference in battery life

Try opening Galaxy Apps store and then click on 3 dots in top right corner and pick May Apps --> Updates
Hopefully this will find new app updates including one for Samsung pay that will change old UI into new UI for pie version.

Thank you but I have these selected. My home screen just goes home when I see up. It's messing with gestures I suspect.

It's the latest. But it's definitely not a pie release as it still shows navigation buttons at the bottom. I'm apparently hooked on the new navigation that every time I use pay it it's sad to have to actually press the home button to leave.

So curious what you find. Samsung pay have me extra smug points when the cashier says they don't take apple pay.
I finally figured it out: I didn't have a favorite card selected. Now it shows up when I'm on my home screen and that home button swipe, since it's on the home screen, doesn't interfere since I'm already home and there little swipe up icon (see picture) for the card is finally there. But it only shows on the home screen and not the others.

Ate you using the stock Samsung launcher? Or a third party launcher. Because swipe up on homescren for Samsung Pay works perfectly on my phone. I'm on CSAA wirth gestures activated and no gesture hints.

THAT is the number one reasons I love Samsung Pay, LOL. It's best when I use my Gear SEE. "I've never seen someone get their watch to work here!"

I love getting the "we only accept XXX here". I look at the cashier and just tell them to push the credit card button and to watch, done it with both my phone and gear s3. They are always surprised and ask what it was that i was using since they've never seen that before. Even after all these years of surprising people with paying with my phone there's always someone who's in the dark about current technology it seems.

Samsung Pay mst and nfc

For card readers with no nfc, do I hover and swipe my phone over where the card read is? I'm referring to paying at a terminal in store for example. I've also tried that dummy card trick on a gas pump to no avail.
I've finally started to use Samsung Pay. LOL.

As long as it has "Tap to Pay," you should be able to just hover your device over it max distance of about 2 inches. I do know that there are some stores that don't accept Samsung Pay to this day though. 7 Eleven up the street from me, I'm looking at you!?
One could argue that the NFC Reader/Writer chips our devices have are technically RFID Readers, so as long as some form of the Tap to Pay hardware, whether NFC or RFID, it should work. Just mostly a matter of them agreeing to process the merchant info that way.?

For non-NFC enabled terminals, you just hover your device over where the mag-stripe reader is. No swiping necessary. It works at most every terminal I've tried it at.
