Coolings closed down months ago... Also had way too many pretty boys in there for my liking, due to its close proximity to Queens Vaults!

Don't try the Waterfront either, they don't take it! Boots has the symbol on the door, but don't actually take it.

I think the website is the same as the app.
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Shows how up to date I am LOL

I used to go in John Gandy's all the time, but fell out with the idiot manager, since then I've hardly been down Gandy street.

I was planning on an afternoon visit, far fewer of them about at that time of the day LOL

Typical, somebody should create a crowdsourced site/app that way it could be easily kept up to date.

I got different hits, but this may be due to the limited format size of the app.

Will Orange allow you to have a Secure SIM on a PAYG rather than contract?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Not yet, no.
[Galaxy S III General] coutts99:
This is really annoying me now, done all this and I still get 'Sorry there was a problem' right at the end.

I've logged on to my account via PC and registered my card and the £50 balance is there. I just can't get this app to work.

I log inot my barclaycard account, select default card. choose a pin, accept terms, then 'sorry we're crap' message :(
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Have you spoken to you barclays?
[Galaxy S III General] coutts99:
Attempted that last night, didn't get far (they had no idea what I was talking about), and decided I'd call back after I tried rolling fully back to stock rom.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
This app will ONLY work on the stock ROM listed earlier, and un-rooted... Once it's installed and set up, back up with TB, you can go back to your current ROM and restore the apps.

When I did it, I never got the notification to install the Barclaycard app... I fixed this by login in to the website and resetting my PIN. it then resent the notification.
[Galaxy S III General] coutts99:
This is exactly what I tried, flashed the rom listed earler with odin, and then installed quick tap and tried to log in.

*EDIT* I'm trying again. this time I've done a full wipe in CWM before flashing rom with odin which is the only thing I can think that I might have missed?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Not true I used the i9300OXABLG8, which worked just fine, if your getting the barclaycard app installed then the issue isn't rom compatability.
[Galaxy S III General] coutts99:
No still no luck :(

I'll have to ring Barclaycard when I get a chance, at least I am registered and my free £50 is there!
[Galaxy S III General] mintvilla:
Youd of thought after the 5th they would open this app to any one with a GS3, no matter what network your on (although the whole nfc sim card raises questions)
[Galaxy S III General] HiddenPooh:
I am sick of Barclays attitude with this. I have managed to get my account created and have the £50 credited, but the app just does not work. As soon as I accept the terms and conditions I just get a page saying "sorry there's been a problem.". Barclays support have promised me on four consecutive days that this would be sorted but still no luck.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I assume by not working you mean barclays not registering with the quicktap app? I presume they've had you do the obvious (turn off Google sync, factory reset then reinstall from scratch)
[Galaxy S III General] HiddenPooh:
Yep, they have had me trying all of that. Still have the same problem of the final step after accepting the terms and conditions failing. They claim to understand the issue and be working on a fix.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Well sounds like it's at their end then, at least you've got your fifty quid before deadline date, best of luck with them sorting it out.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Nah its oranges show so best I'd expect is opening it up to all nfc handsets and payg customers.
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Not true, I'm on rooted stock, and other people have managed with custom ROMs. I'm not saying EVERY custom ROM will work, but some clearly do, and being rooted is not an issue at all.

Try setting your default browser to mobile mode (if it doesn't have one, you could try another one until afterwards) and try again, this is what worked for me.

[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
I don't think this statement is correct. For starters, the latest Orange ROM is BLG8, so maybe it's looking for that, not that it's stock Orange. Either way, we've had enough people have it not work, then they flash stock Orange and it works, to back up there is something relating to the ROM that is important.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I am sorry, it did work for me please don't call me a liar.
[Galaxy S III General] coutts99:
Ah this is my exact problem as well
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
I didn't, I clearly said that simply your statement was incorrect.
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
But it isn't. There appears to be no simple reason why some people get this to work and some do not.

It has nothing to do with Orange ROMs as I do not have an Orange ROM, but my provider is Orange. I have a stock international S3 bought on launch day and it has not been rooted.

The quick tap wallet installed as did the barclaycard service, and i was credited £50.
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
But what ROM are you on? I'm not sure anyone has set up the Barclaycard app that hasn't been on BLG8.

The statement was that the ROM makes no difference, but some have already said it made a difference for them (myself included). So to tell people not to try stock Orange would be bad advice.

To say you must be on stock Orange would be a false statement too, but I'm not saying that, I'm just saying the ROM can make a difference.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Last word from me on this krs360,posted that you must be on stock Orange uprooted orange rom, this is not correct. Some people myself included have got it running on stock btu roms, some have even used rooted roms. Some people appear unable to get it running even using the stock Orange ROM. My personal belief is that if the barclays app does not tell you your device is incompatible then it is not a ROM issue.

Of course if you can't get it running and are getting the compatibility error try a stock rom, but if the error is anything else I don't think you'll benefit from swapping roms.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
I am so sorry that I tried to help someone (not you) and you disagreed with me. I humbly bow before your greatness.
[Galaxy S III General] -josh-:
I think it must have something to do with stock roms in general. I bet the roms that work are newer stock/orange branded firmware or custom roms based on more recent stock firmware.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
The bottom line is, if it doesn't work with whatever ROM you're running, try a stock ROM. That's why I thought it a bit odd for someone to say "don't bother, it's not ROM related'". No, do bother, it's let it work for a bunch of us now.

That's all... lets not get our knickers in a bunch with each other. It could be worse, we might be on an iPhone and have no choice of what ROM we should run, or for that matter not even have NFC, a several year old technology :)
[Galaxy S III General] dan@msx:
Well i went back to unbranded btu lg8, downloaded, installed and registered and now have it working without a single problem. The fact is its been released to work on the latest official firmware not the latest JB leak so for those who are moaning and complaining it wont work, follow other peoples advice, go back to stock, install n use titanium back up then re-install whatever you want n restore the app data. Too much negativity for me so il leave it there.
[Galaxy S III General] laird86:
I had exactly this issue a few weeks ago when I first tried to register. After one useless call, I managed to speak to someone who knew what they were talking about and was up and running in a couple of minutes. In order to kick start the registration process I had to log in to the mybarclaycard website. I think I then had to click on a link to rest my contactless PIN. Once I'd reset the PIN, when I logged into the app the registration process completed. I hope I've remembered that right and that it helps some people get over their registration problems.
[Galaxy S III General] CuriosityProofCat:
For my problems with registration, I found that it was due to the way Barclaycard handle addresses. I eventually successfully registered using different details, then when the account was done tried to change them. Through this process I found something that might help anyone with the "Sorry there was a problem" message.

My (made-uppy for here) address is:

Greentree Farm,

Nothing Road... etc.

When I went to change my address from the false details to the true, the website would ONLY accept:

Greentree,

1 Nothing Road.

In other words, the website does NOT like a "House Name" of more than one word, and you are FORCED to enter a "House Number" on the form where you change your address.

I believe that the "Sorry there was a problem" message is caused by the fact that the initial registration form does not check its inputs in the same was as the website does, and so fails to register the details and results in an unaccountable error. I would suggest adding the "1" to your House Number, or even just registering a different address.

Help with Samsung Galaxy III Orange NFC Quicktap App

Hi

Total newbie to Galaxy and Android.. do you have an idiots guide to unlocking my Galaxy III so it can use the Orange NFC SIM? Would love to crack it and pile into the £50 on offer from Barclaycard!

I have the NFC Sim and phone.. help!
[Galaxy S III General] shimix:
Not sure if this has been mentioned but if you open the barclaycard app and go to "my account" it gives you a 16 digit card number, expiry date and security code. You can use it online as a card instead of trying to find a shop that accepts contactless.
[Galaxy S III General] peekaboo70:
Galaxy s3 with quick tap sim
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
Awesome fella, as the only place in my area I could use nfc was subway now I have spent the frer £50 on line. :D
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Hi

I've now made my first contactless payment (in the only place in town I can find that takes them), so my free cash isn't going to be grabbed back.

All I can say is with all the free £50's out there Greggs is going to make a bloody fortune out of this deal LOL

~S
[Galaxy S III General] Grantzxr:
I have the latest (ora)rom i9300bvblh2 and a quick tap sim after a lot of hard work i see my vurtule £60 in the quicktap app the free £50 and £10 added by me the green light is on on the app yet still nothing when i try to pay... just been on phone to orange and the Very helpful CS guy tells me the NFC chip is in the battery on sgs3's he going to try to get a new 1 shipped to me ....... with all of the delays @ launch (got my phone launch day) i wonder if models sold before 5th set may or may not have the nfc chip in the battery as up to this point nobody would know???
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
Its written on the battery if it has nfc.

If you gave a wireless enabled credit card tub it on the back of the phone and it dhould bleep at you. You need the screen on to do this
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Erm, what? You think this is the first use of NFC or something?

Anyway, fun, short story. My Orange contract is ending in 6 weeks, but I thought I'd see what speeds I can get these days on the new SIM (used to be heavily capped) so I used it for the first time in about a year (now have a Three contract).

I'd sold my old Galaxy Tab 10.1 and needed to post it at lunch time, on my way to the gym. Everything but my gym bag and the parcel was left at work, off I went. Very annoyed at the post office, after queueing for 10+ minutes that the online postage I'd paid was wrong. No wallet with me so..

"Erm, do you take contactless payment?"

"Which card do you have?"

"Well, err... my phone"

Blip! Sure enough, saved my bacon :)
[Galaxy S III General] Grantzxr:
yup my wireless cc makes phone bleep but i get no vibration or payment from the chip & pin any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
Well at least you now know that you have nfc on your phone and it works!
[Galaxy S III General] mahall1988:
I have set up my contactless payments. I had to flash stock orange for it to work and they didn't like my post code and my county so I had to leave them blank.

I have strange situation now though I can make payments in Greg's fine but in McDonald's I get the attached error but it still goes through. I'm just happy I got my breakfast this morning though lol
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Are you accessing the payments app directly, I get that error if I try that. Accessing payments via quicktap works fine.

Used online payment card to buy myself an SSD so even if I never spend the remaining balance I'm A happy bunny.
[Galaxy S III General] mahall1988:
no i went directly into the barcley card app.

i seem to only get that error in 1 mcdonalds branch but it still goes through so i dont mind lol
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
Has anyone got this working on a custom ROM?

If so could you please tell me which ROM!
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
If you have never installed it before you need to install this rom I9300BVBLG2_I9300ORABLG1_ORA from sammobiles

Dont forget you may need to wipe if your on jellybean.

Install quicktap and follow the wizard and fill in the form.

Then wait for the confirmation text.

After this flash any rom you want and then install quicktap app and it will then install the barclays app for you.

Im on Omega 27.2 and it works great, will soon be on v28 when it comes out:laugh:

I have changed between roms several times and done the odd full wipe and it has worked for me each time
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
Thanks man, everytime i try to search smamobile the site is down you got a link?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I don't know if anyone has it working on aosp roms, but I got it working by flashing a stock rom setting it up then flashing back to CheckROM. I know this is xda so is gonna be ignored but had you read the thread you would have known this without having to ask.
[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
My S3 will be orange locked (When it comes, Won't remain locked lol).

Cool feature I guess, I never saw a need with NFC, but now it looks like something.
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
I wanted to know if I could have it working on a custom rom NOT flash stock then back to custom but if thats what you got to do its not hard.

I was looking to change my ROM ive been running the same ROM for like 2 weeks now so I guess it good motivation to change. Do you know if you can use the barclays apps as they check for root does the same method work i'm assuming not?
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
AFAIK, it only checks on installation. Hence needing to be on the right rom when you install.
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
So i had an old version of Criskello ROM like V8.0 and it works just great on there!
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
No, the barclays app will only work on a rooted rom if you use an app to conceal su. I believe your on to a loser trying to get quicktap working on a non stock rom, and as you say the whole shebang (backup, flash stock,install and setup quicktap, backup quicktap, restore rom, restore quicktap) can be done in considerably less than an hour.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Not true... I don't conceal sh1t and it works just fine.

As above, as long as you install on an unrooted stock rom it works.

Edit: just reread your post.. Sorry!
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I believe he was referring to the barclays banking app not quicktap
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
Yeah I got everything I need on my SD but this ROM seems to meet my needs, just waiting on my new card to sign up to Quick tap. Thanks for information guys big help.
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
Sorry for the double post but I got another question how long does it take for the money to be credited to your account?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Less than a minute in my case.
[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
Mine wont seem to add it just said failed to add please try again?
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
Dont forget if you click on account details in the app you get the card number and your other details so you can spend it online too.
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
I have done this, but it was for less than the £20 limit for contactless payments, has anyone tried it for more?

~S
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
So far only done it for £19, would be interesting to know if you can do it for more than the 20 limit
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
I would be very surprised if the number itself had some form of limit. It will surely be like any other NFC Credit Card. I can only use it up to £20 on an NFC terminal, but there is no limit when I use it online. The terminal has the limits, not the card number.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Yep, they bought myself an SSD for £37 from ebuyer, on a different note I ws unable to link the card to my PayPal account though.
[Galaxy S III General] SolInvictus:
A damn shame, but I don't think this works with miui at all. I managed to fully install and register the app and Barclay's app in a stock orange rom, but when I restore the app with titanium backup into a miuiandroid 2.10.12 rom, neither app will load correctly; the Barclay's app just shows the splash screen and the quick tap app just keeps searching for services.

Well not chuffed.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I had a similar issue with cm10, unable to restore the app at all. Hence I'm running CheckROM at the moment.
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
I got mine linked to paypal, had a wait a few days for the verification but it works.

More to the point what ssd was it for £37?
[Galaxy S III General] SolInvictus:
Well, on a slightly offtopic thought then, but totally related, doesanyone know of a good stable stock based rom that doesnt have a notification pull down bar or sms app that looks like ass? :P

I went to a stock rom today and tested the contactless payment system. Its awesome, but i cant stomach touchwiz for longer than about 20 mins.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Tried checkrom? Personally I use nova launcher as I am not a fan of touchwiz
[Galaxy S III General] SolInvictus:
Yeah, after you mentioned it I decided to give it a try.

With nova launcher and the jb domination theme it looks just like aosp, with all the bells and whistles of touchwiz.

There is still one huge glaring issue stopping me from being 100% happy: the SMS app. Its still the god awful touchwiz one. My attempts at getting the stock job MMS app to run have so far been Futile.

Oh, and I can't figure out how to snooze a touchwiz alarm either. But the SMS app is more important.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
I'm quite set in my ways and have used handsent sms for ages, so I've stuck with that. Can't really comment on current stock but it's better than stock cupcake sms if you wanted to give it a whirl.
[Galaxy S III General] Neo1607:
I can't get this working. I bought the phone from p4u on orange, phoned up orange and ordered a quicktap sim.

This is possibly where i messed up but i registered on quicktap and got half way through but never completed setup. A week later i then ported my number over from another network to the simcard, i then tried to register again and it said about an issue linking the sim number to the mobile number.

I phoned up Barclaycard who changed the number in the account i had registered first to match my ported number and i can login on the barclay website but i only get to the final part of the activation process and it says it will send me an activation message within 30mins but i never receive it. I spoke to barclay and they said it's because im on the wrong software but i've flashed an orange rom tonight and still nothing

Anyone suggest anything?
[Galaxy S III General] KobusKloete:
Someone want to send me the Tap Wallet apk

Hi,

Maybe the wrong place, but I got my S3 in South Africa, and no for some reason, the play store doesn't want to allow me to download the application. It still sees that I'm using my SA Vodacom device, even though I'm currenlty in the UK with Orange. I really want to play with this, but I don't want spend more money on a new UK S3.

Thx
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
What ROM are you on?
[Galaxy S III General] DiCe!:
So I got a call today trying to help me, basically I cant get the app through quick tap, my question is this:

Is there a play store barclay card NFC app to download? or is it all done through crappy quick tap? I had a quick scan of this thread and didnt see anything, but could have missed it. Any help greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
The Barclaycard app is downloaded via the quicktap app I'm afraid
[Galaxy S III General] Antagonist42:
If you've flashed an SA/GEN1/2 rom essentially your phone has the wrong SKU so unless the same app is released in that country it'll not let you install, I found this type of thing out after installing a GEN1 rom ;)

Sent from my Poorly Acer E320
[Galaxy S III General] thecrater:
hey guys. is the £50 still on?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
AFAIK it finished 5th October.
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Have you tried using one of the market enabler apps? I think the problem may be deeper, but worth a go.
[Galaxy S III General] pittsy46:
Hi,

Got the quicktap apply all installed and set up barclaycard account with my free £50 after a lot of messing around so everything is all cool but every time I try and use it it doesn't work, twice now in Mc D's and once in greggs.

Nfc is enabled, wifi off, app on and off and case on and off.

What is going on???
[Galaxy S III General] Neo1607:
No one able to help me with this?
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Can you detect any NFC chips? Have you changed the battery cover (I changed mine for one that totally blocked the NFC signal until I worked out what the problem was), same for replacement batteries?

~S
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
No idea, mine works fine actually made my first contact-less purchase today. Are you aware that if you go into the Braclays app, you will find a number that allows you to use the card to make purchases on line (as you would a physical card) so you can at least withdraw your £50 that way.
[Galaxy S III General] pr1vate piles:
Just had a nice phone call from barclays (the same barclays who told me the phone couldn't use nfc) anyhow, gentleman advised me to log in onto their website and reset the phone pin. I did, and the app has just installed itself and is now working. No idea why its taken so long to get working, but for anyone struggling as i was, it may help.
[Galaxy S III General] pittsy46:
Normal nfc battery fitted, got a rock Quicksand which I took off to try.

I have ordered some nfc tags so will try with them
[Galaxy S III General] Amazing_Antony:
Is anyone able to help here, my setup is:

Tmobile UK unlocked S3 (On I9300BVLH1)

NFC Orange SIM

The Quick Tap Wallet app works fine and forwards me to the Barclaycard website. When trying to sign up I get an error and it tells me to call some number. I have called the barclaycard who tell me that it will not work as the orange phone has special hardware. I have read through the thread and cant work it out. Has anyone managed to get pass the error? P.S I am on official unrooted orange firmware with 0 count to my flash count.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] pittsy46:
Anyone got any more ideas??
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Do you have a nfc equipped credit card? If so you can use that to check nfc functionality. If I touch my phone against my LFC fan card whilst quicktap is open I get a notification tone, that would at least indicate nfc was functioning.
