I am not sure if spay is supported in all countries. So you current country might not be supported.

I bought the Nex 3 in Thailand but I used in Hong Kong. When new open the phone I choose the country in Hong Kong so everything on Google side should be fine. However some country setting still register "Thailand" that I can't update. Where does the Country setting I could update ? Or I need update another ROM?
Thanks.
Hi,
as Samsung is beta testing Samsung pay in Germany, one can have it there *today*:
https://www.samsung.com/de/support/mobile-devices/samsung-pay-faq/
However, after installing and setting everything up, there is still no Samsung Pay on the GW3. I have to say that my watch is an XSK model (eastern europe) and not a DBT (Germany).
Does anybody use the Samsung Pay Beta with a DBT watch and can tell, if it works there? To have it working now, changing CSC to OXA would possibly be the best route?
Best regards
If you can read German, you can try to look here:
https://allaboutsamsung.de/2020/09/samsung-pay-startet-offiziell-in-deutschland/
IMHO Wearable part, like GW3 work with Plugin crap... "APK B"... + TPK C
Phone have "APK A"...
To get both working... Phone AND Watch...
You need compatible A + B + C...
Seems Samsung only released Phone App... APK A.
Feel free to look if you manage to run the Phone part... without crying.
Best Regards
Thanks, @adfree .
I called the german Samsung Pay Support and asked specifically, if changing the CSC of the watch to OXA would help and if he knew, what I was talking about. He said that he indeed knew what it meant and that it would not work because the pay app on the phone would not be compatible. He was very nice and also competent.
He also told me, that they aim to make it possible in 2021.
I have to say that I am astonished (not in a good way). Everything is in place and tried and tested, Samsung Pay with the watches is years old. Why?
Well, at least it's a step in the right direction for Germany. Holland is still waiting. I now use SPay on my watch with the CSC set to Spain (PHE) in combination with a UK Curve card, but I would rather use it with everything set to Dutch (PHN) . Hopefully Holland is next.
Thanks, @congusto . What would be the best CSC to use? OXA? Or rather UK? Not even sure, if they are having SPay.
Any CSC that supports SPay will do. BTU (UK) will do fine. I chose Spain (PHE) as region because I have that choice when I reset my watch. UK is not available in the list I can choose from. Spain also supports O2 Measurement. I don't know if BTU supports it. The only backdraw of PHE can be that all SPay awards and messages are in Spanish.
OXA is actually a group of CSC's if I am correct, so I am not sure that you can choose OXA at all.
Thanks, guys. So I went through it and changed the CSC from XSK (I bought a watch for the eastern european market because it was cheaper) to XAR - Samsung pay was there, but the guy on the Samsung Pay DE hotline was (unfortunately ) right. I could not add the virtual card I got from Samsung Pay DE, as I do not have the data (validity, CSC). So I deciced that it is not worth all the hassle (try some CC which might work or not, Curve or N26 or whatever) and changed the CSC again, this time to DBT, where I live. That way, whenever this gets available here, I will just be able to use it. As (claimed) advantages they offer split pay and instant credit as features - maybe I am old fashioned, but I do not need that, as I do not buy things when I do not have the money. I would rather have them light up payments with the watch
So they set it up differently in DE - you will get a virtual CC from 'Solarisbank' (whoever that might be) and they will take the money directly from the bank account the user combined with it. This way they seem to be able to get around the banks. This is all done in the Samsung Pay DE setup - it is a one time hassle but it is really doable.
So, whoever wants to try that as well, maybe save yourself the hours of two combination FW flashes, two Stock FW Flashes and two updates.
I live in Ireland where Samsung pay is not supported but in the UK it is, if i had phone + watch3 bought in the official Samsung UK stores and a UK bank which supports Samsung pay, would it work in Ireland to pay in stores?
Also, i bought my s20 and the watch3 on eglobal.eu, the phone has a region of Golf region (united arab emirates) the watch3 has no idea what region is not sure they have any but i guess, i dont know how to check, so if the above is working is it possible to change the region of my s20 to UK and use Revolut or N26 or maybe even an actual UK bank card (i could get one)?
Unless you also want to use SPay on your phone, in my experience the region of your phone is not relevant for using SPay on your watch. I am not sure if this goes for your watch, but on my GW, bought in Holland, I was able to choose a region. What happens if you give your watch a reset (make a backup first), can you choose a region?
If so, choose one that supports SPay. If not, then you'll have to change the CSC of your watch to e.g.. BTU (IJK) or PHE (Spain).
Revolut doesn't support SPay, neither does N26 as far as I know. But if you get a Curve Card (UK based, supports SPay, but needs 1 or more credit cards assigned to it enable paying with it), assign your credit card to it (when you do, use a 5 digit zip code), and then enter your Curve Card as card to use for SPay, it should work.
You have to set Samsung Pay up on the mobile, which limits you to Irish settings if you want everything else to work with Irish stuff. Also, there isn't an Irish locale option on the watches. There are some people who's gotten themselves a Curve UK account and used that. That's at least what I've heard.
I'll wait though, I got an N26 account a couple years ago for Google Pay, not going to get one more empty account for this.
It is a bit annoying that Samsung Ireland doesn't seem to be bothered with enabling any features for Irish customers. We don't get the advanced features on newer watches either.
Currently in the UK and gave my USA G781U1 to my mum. Set the device up without local UK SIM card installed don’t recall seeing or selecting an option for region ( no suprise ). After device was setup I inserted the UK sim, all smooth but after installing Uber Eats app it prompted for a zip code instead of post code. Even though the app itself was depicting currency in UK pounds. Any idea why?
I initially thought it was because the region country language was USA but it wasn’t. Cheers.
don't know the reason but go with Just Eat... the other lot are a right bunch of...
Tried to install Samsung Pay on Note 9 to be greeted with a message "Samsung Pay isn't supported on your phone"
Really?...I know the Note 9 is getting on a bit now but anyone else have SP working?
Have you checked two things: there is an SP service in your country, the correct CSC on your phone?
Thanks I am in the UK and my CSC is XEH/XEU so Hungary/UK
According to the wiki, SP does not work in Hungary. If you can do this without breaking the Knox flag then change the CSC to some UK. Hopefully your UK bank and card offer you SP payments.
On my Note10 Lite I changed CSC to Vietnamese and I can use SP, but there is no bank in my country that supports SP.
Hmmm thanks...my bank Santander support SP but how do I go about changing my CSC to UK only?
Ah not to worry will just use Google Wallet.
