Galaxy Store - "Can't use credit card. Rooting detected..." - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I have Note 9 rooted with Magisk. A few days ago I realised that I can't say anything on Galaxy Store or Galaxy Themes. Does anybody have that problem and is there any solution for this? I think Galaxy Store was updated just before this started to happen but I am not sure if that's directly related to my problem.
Thanks in advance.

I don't have these options. It only gives me to add Credit Card. You can see it in my screenshots below. Is your screenshot from app Galaxy Store?

i acctualy added it while settuoing my galaxy watch.
although my phone is rooted, launching spay from the watch allowed me to gain access and configure samsung pay on the phone. i initially did not configure spay on the phone.
i can maybe try and replicate the steps when i switch roms.
but anyways, if you dont have a smart smart watch then i dunno.
but when you are asked to pay on the galaxy app store, cant you choose from other providers?

well then i dont know what to suggest.
again when i change roms i can check if there is any other way to do it other than how i got it to work with the watch.
because i had the exact same issue with you but was able to 'fool' the phone by using the watch and launching the the spay watch plugin to enroll spay

so the galaxy watch plugin is the one that makes it all possible. i did hide everything relating to spay with magisk hide...
btw my device dosent support spay but rhat didint stop me from adding a card and PayPal account. ill do some tests later to see if i can get it to work without the watch.

here is what happens, phone detects root but let's me continue then i try to use spay but says phone isint supported. but since i have the paypal option then in then end i just choose that to complete the purchase. i prefer PayPal anyways.
on the watch side, if i launch paypal on it, then my card that i added earlier using the watch plugin works fine.

So you had to Magisk Hide all these apps. I will try to hide all of them. I don't think it will give me the missing option of adding Pay Pal Account but it might give me to pay with already added Credit Card.

Sim Unlock?

So i have been looking this up for a day now and I can't find anything helpful or that works. I have a att s4 active. I want to sim unlock it because its pretty much useless to me right now. I just got this phone and the guy said he got the sim unlock code from att but we have to wait 48 hours for it to go though and now he isn't texting me back at all. I don't have the money for a unlock code and i just need this unlocked asap! does any one know any working methods?

It says it supports some S4's, does it specifically say S4 Active anywhere? I couldn't see that anywhere myself. It doesn't say anything about support S4 Zoom but it worked so it's possible that the same exploit exists in your S4. If you're really that desperate, it's worth a try.

I had it done on my M8. They have to send you a link to the app, and you have to install it, they can't just do it without your permission.
The app will also block any access to keyboard (when they used it, I had to type everything and it specifically states that all access to the screen is currently blocked when typing anything), it basically just lets them use the device a bit, and check some settings to make sure everything is proper.
Just uninstall the app after, and done.

Yup. That'd be a massive privacy breach that would open them to quite a few lawsuits if they had it setup that they could access your device and personal data at ANYTIME.

Did she offer to do it to the new device, or to the external SD?
If it was new device, I don't see how they would do that unless they were going to use ATT Locker (which I hate). If to external, then it's just a setting in the phone that'll move everything to the external.
Still, she would have to ask for your permission, which she did. I wouldn't worry about it, they can't get that data anyway.

I called att once when I had my s4. However I had that phone so locked down even they couldn't get a connection established. When they would try to connect they would get a rejection message and my phone would force close the app. They use this to trouble shoot our phones when we call support. They ask you to accept a text link which grants them control of your phone. What you see they see. I do not like this because they can see notifications like text messages in the status bar. You will also be asked to install an apk. I don't like this idea because I have private information on my phone. But someone who is not very literate with phones may need this type of support to fix their phone malfunctions.

Package Disabler?

Does anyone know what package disablers work with the Note 9, it's been a year a so since I was with Samsung and package disabler appears to have disappeared from the Play Store.
Can I get it somewhere else? does it work with the Note 9?
It works but it also gets removed from Play Store periodically then it gets reinstated. People who purchased it its earlier reincarnations need to purchase it again, assuming they need to reinstall, if more than 6 months have passed. Needless to say a lot people feel peeved off (and rightly so) by the developer's attitude.

I had a look around at these but then opted to try the ADB route instead. There are various threads around on what to disable and it's pretty straightforward to do. I also wonder if just disabling the app via settings is similar or good enough. Haven't found enough info so far to confirm, but have disabled some apps this way too.
Is the ADB method the same as on an LG phone? E.g. pm uninstall -k --.......

Not sure about ADB, only time I've used ADB is for flashing recovery, I wouldn't know where to start.
I've disabled everything I can manually, although there are a few not sure about, after checking the play store via chrome package disabler pro is still available but not for the Note 9, annoying because I'm pretty sure I have the Pro version.
Also somewhat unrelated, why does the software on the Note 9 have such difficulty closing down background apps? even when you explicitly selected them to not run in the background, an hour or so later it's still active and using battery. :silly:

I know this is the US Play store,but,perhaps it'll re-direct to what you need:

Only thing that works for me is if you do it through adb.

I don't know. I got everythjng through mail: a download link and a code to activate the app.
Maybe try and contact them?
Just in case someone needs the full tutorial for using ADB to uninstall a system app,check this link:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
If you're not familiar with it,it's worth your while to read everything.
It's not complicated if you're used to using command prompts/ADB,however,be warned that if you delete,it's actually just hidden from the user,but,once you do this,it can't be recovered/accessed/re-installed unless you factory reset (less root access,of course).
The article/tutorial states as much,but,we're all human & at times,TLDR.......... :good:

Adhell 3 has a package disabler. It works. Google "adhell 3 reddit" and you can find links to download the APKs. Then you'll have to go to samsung developer site and generate a knox developer key to plug into your copy of adhell 3.

ECG Outside US? Need Directions?

I received my Galaxy watch three yesterday here in Canada. I know officially the new features such as ECG are not available here. I'm doubtful they will be anytime soon. How can I somehow get these features outside of the US on my device? I'm pretty sure it's possible but I'm not sure where to start and look for proper watch three instructions that won't mess up my device. Thank you.

There's some discussion on the subject here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/samsung-galaxy-watch-3/features-available-t4144413
I still can't figure out the proper procedure for the Watch 3. ?
I was using online chat to Samsung support yesterday in the UK and he told me that the ECG and blood pressure monitor would be working when I receive the watch next Friday.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a copy of the message transcript although I guess I could ask for it.
Does anyone know if this is true?

The SM-R840 model? Did you do this as soon as you received it or did you update everything on the watch first?
Does Samsung pay still and all the other apps work fine?
Changing CSC to KOO doesn't enable the missing features?

I installed the BP and ECG option using the "without a PC" option. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
One question: will there be app updates available for the patched versions?
WIthout PC option worked perfectly on US BTE model.
Without PC method validated for France model, thanks ! Works great.
In addition, is there any method to get SPO2 ? Like through a VPN or something ? Thks

I know the contacts do not sync for us pixel 4 XL owners, but Samsung store person told me that other features need Samsung phone. Hope someone can confirm.
I followed the video and the new SHM app appeared on my watch for a second but when I clicked it, it just closed and then disappeared.
Now, whenever I try to install the "Retailmode" app, I get the message on my phone that the APK was installed, I see the samsung accessory service transferring it to my phone but the the wear app pops up a toast saying "failed to install the app".
I checked under my wear app's list of installed app and it's not there (should it appear there)? Any idea what's going on? This is a US model GW3.

I have checked the appropriate permission settings on both the devices and it looks good. I see some people in reddit posted this as well with a Google device. Does anyone else seeing this or found a solution.
