I can't seem to find it on the Samsung gear app store. I can't use Samsung Pay because not a lot of shops here support it and neither does my bank.
Is there any way to do it? I bought it over the Huawei watch 2 because I thought having NFC meant I could use Android Pay. Are there custom android ROMs that can be installed on it?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I bought my Dad a Samsung Gear VR for Christmas, as I was told by the seller it worked with all android phones.
However, I've been looking into it since and it would appear this isn't the case. He's really excited by it, and I don't want it to have been a waste of money and for him to have been disappointed.
I've ordered a USB C to Micro USB adaptor so he can connect his phone to it, but I'm concerned it won't enable him to use it properly still.
I was wondering if there was any way to make sure he still gets some actual use out of this, instead of having to sell it and buy him something else!
Thanks!

Hi,
The Gear VR that is available now is only available for some Samsung devices like the S6, S7, Note 7 and I think Note 4/5

Damn, so there's no way to make it work in any way with a different phone?
If you are able to fit the phone there, you'll be able to use the Gear VR like if it was a Google Cardboard.
But obviously you won't be able to access the Oculus store and such.

So I have a galaxy s8 and im looking to buy a new watch to go with it.
The galaxy gear s3 is looking like the most appealing option BUT. Since my galaxy s8 is rooted and has KNOX tripped, I cant use samsung pay on my phone. Does this mean I wont be able to use samsung pay on my watch too?
Or alternatively, will I just be able to use android pay instead of samsung pay on the gear s3?
No
If your phone is rooted you are unable to use android pay unless it was rooted (KNOX tripped) but no longer rooted. Then Samsung pay won't work but android pay will however gear apps (Tizen OS apps) do not have an app for android pay if you want that get a android watch OS watch.
In my option they don't look as good as gears so I cope with just using android pay from my phone since the phone has to be on me for the apps to work anyway.

"The galaxy gear s3"
this isnot the forum for s3
As i've been searching the respected forums, i've been unable to find a conclusive answer.
I'm planning to buy a gear s3, and i want Samsung pay
I have a exynos note 8 (Rooted with magisk, passes safetynet and tripped knox)
Would i be able to use Samsung pay ONLY on the gear s3?
I don't care about Samsung Pay on the Note, because i can just use Android pay
But i see that you can't use android pay on the gear s3.
So the question goes as follows can i use Spay on the gear s3, if my phone is modified?
OR
Is there anyway to get android pay on the gear s3?
Thank you
I read earlier that you cannot somewhere on this forum. Sorry I can't find the link.

if your gear s3 relies on the note 8 as the main source then you cant, since you tripped knox
if your gear s3 has a standalone samsung pay set up then you can since you cant trip knox
I'm looking to buy a new smart watch. I currently have a rooted Note 8, so I know Samsung Pay won't work on the phone. But if I purchase a Gear S3, and leave it unrooted, will Samsung Pay work on the watch?
I don't think Samsung Pay will work on your Gear S smartwatch as Samsung Pay needs to be linked to your cell first before it can be linked to your Gear S.

I have n stock Note 8 and stock Gear S3.
Both not rooted.
I have Samsung Pay installed on my Note 8,
working fine.
I had to install Samsung Pay app and then Samsung Pay app, updates to install the Samsung Pay framework.
Further
if you got a Gear S3,
it requires a Samsung Pay Gear "plug in" app (dependant) on
Samsung Pay Framework on the Note 8.
On top of that, your Gear S3 firmware must also be
updated for watch to work.
My issue is, that Samsung has not updated my Gear S3
firmware for my Region (CSC).
So my Gear S3 cannot do Samsung Pay.
As the title suggests, the galaxy store app on the watch itself doesn't work and the one inside the wearable app is severely limited, as only free or temporarily free apps and watch faces show up.
Now, i know this is because my phone isn't a samsung phone, but is there any way around this?
I don't mean to be able to bypass purchases and get things for free. i'm willing to pay for some cool watch faces i see around the web but i can't access.
I've already tried installing the samsung billing apk but to no avail
