Hi i have same problem i have bout my Galaxy S3 from P4YOU, with orange contact after weeks of geting replacement for my standard sim card I receive quick tap simcard and get qick tap app working but can't get thru registration proces at Barclays mobile payment system. Yesterday after phone from Barclays card that told me that my phone is not compatible with deal that bar clay card and orange sing out and my version of phone will not work bicouse i did not purchase my phone directly from Orange :(
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
One word, bollocks! Hardware is the same whether from orange or not. Barclays IT are spouting rubbish, if your phone is not compatible quicktap will not get up and running.
[Galaxy S III General] pittsy46:
The different hardware they may be talking about is the battery, the antenna is in the battery and some phones shipped with a non nfc battery, check the battery to make sure it has nfc written on it, kine has and still no further forward...

Just tried with my credit card and I do get a tone when I put them together... So nfc is working :) quicktap not :(

Hope this helps some of you guys!!!

Ok guys this is my first post to xda so please go easy!

I've read through allot of this topic as I wanted to get this working on my S3! tried for days and suddenly today it started working! so i thought i'd post a few things i did to get this going!

first off i did the basics, got a quick tap sim from orange, checked i was issued with an nfc battery etc.

next i updated my firmware to jelly bean, used the uk generic version XXDLID

i installed the quick tap apk from play store and went through the setup process, as with some people when i entered my county it failed so i decided to leave it blank (please select a county) and hey presto it registered!

then i had the problem that it wouldn't send me a registration code to get the barclaycard apk installed (tried at least 20 times!) so i downloaded it from here (page 3 post 7) and installed it manually. it opened and asked for a pin but after three tries it blocked!

spoke to barclaycard but they gave me the usual crap that my software was not from orange so it wont work, total bollocks!

so today a mate at work asked if i'd had my sim card (he has the S3 too and was curious if i had it working) so i took my sim out to show him, then i popped it back in and thought i'd show him where i was stuck, launched the quick tap wallet and logged into the barclays account, got the usual message to finish registration and clicked it, closed the browser and left the quick tap app running in the background (just pressed the home button). Then got a notification that 1 new service was available and it all started working!

So from my experience i think maybe taking the sim out was the key and leaving quick tap on in the background was what got it working, sorry if it's a bit long winded but i didn't want to miss any detail in case it was important to someone. Anyway i hope this can help some of you to get it working, mine has been tested as i just bought a maccy d's! (highlighted a few important factors!)
[Galaxy S III General] Neo1607:
I wonder if updating to XXDLID would solve my problem then, but according to both orange and barclaycard only ORABLG1 should work
[Galaxy S III General] kilostream:
try popping the sim out like i did, login to barclay via the quick tap app then leave it run in the background, don't exit the app just press the home button, it took just a few seconds for the notification to pop up!
[Galaxy S III General] Neo1607:
soon as i pop the simcard out i get a big error up on the screen saying "SIM card removed" and i can't do anything until i reboot the phone
[Galaxy S III General] pittsy46:
Popped the sim card out, had to restart, started without the sim card in, tried to start the quicktap apply but it said 'quicktap sim not installed, please call customer services', restarted phone with sim in and restarted application, shutting down using home button.

It all works as before and can't see any difference, better pop to greggs I guess...
[Galaxy S III General] goralns:
Pop in and out sim kard didn't work for me. DO :confused:you say I have to get orange specific JB firmware to get it work?
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Orange would have believe so, although a few of us got it running on stock BTU roms. If you have issues stick with stock orange firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] pittsy46:
Mine was a unbranded phone from CPW, what's the next step?
[Galaxy S III General] kilostream:
I shut down completely before removing the sim,removed the battery then rebooted and went straight to quick tap and logged in, guess mine was a fluke as I'd had the same problems as everyone else until then!
[Galaxy S III General] goralns:
I get my working last night on orange stock Rom not a problem at all thanks all for advice.

Can I still claims £50 from Barclaycard and haw to do this?:)
[Galaxy S III General] Neo1607:
Barclaycard told me my problem is I ported my number to the quick tap sim. Apparantly I have to get the sim with that number already on it I can't just port it over or it causes problems

Does that sound true? Coz orange are saying the system won't let them send me another quick tap sim coz I shouldn't have received the first one since I didn't buy my phone directly from them
[Galaxy S III General] goralns:
So what I have to do to get £50 like you did
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Register and get set up by 5th October.
[Galaxy S III General] kilostream:
I was told the £50 stopped on 5th October as I couldn't claim it. As for porting your number thats crap, i had the new sim and they ported my number over from my old sim instantly
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
On a side note, I've started using the card number side of the app as extra protection when using a site I don't know for purchasing stuff.

I keep next to no credit on it (as there is bugger all paces accepting contactless payments, there's little point), but if I want a widget costing say £23.45 I'll add that as a top-up, then use the NFC card to pay.

The theory is, if the site is going to rip me off by using my card details elsewhere, there will be no money on it after they have taken the £23.45 for the widget.

Hi. Could you explain how you got this working on stock BTU rom, I got fed up waiting for orange updates so I flashed the official stock jelly bean btu, got my quick tap sim today it allows me to go through the process until I get to the barclays page and it then states my phone is not supported.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Motogp1:
Anyone.

I was actually in Barclaycard today at a meeting in asked one of the customer support team, obviously because I've flashed a stock unbranded rom its wiped any trace of orange how do I make the app/Barclaycard think my phone us still a orange branded one.

Thanks

Is the browser in desktop, or mobile mode? I had the same error when I first tried, but after playing about I discovered that switching to mobile mode allows it to go through.

[Galaxy S III General] Motogp1:
So simple but so effective, thank you worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S III General] Motogp1:
I can confirm that this worked perfectly , I used it in cafe roma at Barclaycards global head quarters in Northampton this evening.

Had this working on all roms ive used on s3, also just got another s3 but the LTE version but orange quick tap says its not compatible, so ive ported the barclaycard app over and im gonna test it when my new sim arrives...
[Galaxy S III General] Amazing_Antony:
I got a phone call from barclaycard saying that they had made some changes and to try registering again. Apparently orange found some sim problems and they have fixed it, he also said to use the flat number instead of house number. Unfortunatly i no longer have an orange stock rom, is anyone able to retry to save me reflashing??
[Galaxy S III General] jumpit:
Could someone post a picture of a quicktap sim. I understand it should have the tap logo on it but I have been sent 3, none work and none have the logo.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Here's an intentionally blurry, partial picture of my sim (at work and can't be arsed removing the sim number, hence blurrycam to the rescue)
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Hi Guys,

Slightly OT question, but I think it's close enough to fit LOL

You know the Orange S3 is slightly different from the rest (more memory, etc), does anyone know if the same phone is available through EE, as that is what Orange has now turned into?

I would have assumed so, but I know the Orange Wednesdays thing for free movies is not available through them, so the same may go for the phone.

Anyway, is the EE S3 the same as the Orange S3,or is it the standard S3?

~S
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Wtf the orange S3 is just the same as any other S3,unless your talking the 4g version :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] Sanukk:
Perhaps I'm confusing two different threads, but I'm sure it was the Orange devices that carried the £50 deal this thread is about had double the RAM (2GB instead of the normal 1GB), and something else slightly different.

~S
[Galaxy S III General] Motogp1:
That is the Gt- i9305 GS3 lte 4G version and yes it does have 2gb of RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] coutts99:
Mine doesn't, and I got the £50
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
But this thread is for the i9300, which even on orange has 1gb RAM but did indeed give me £50.
[Galaxy S III General] Motogp1:
I have no idea where the confusion started , anyway yes Barclay card did a £50 credit on the 9300 but this ended at the end of October .

Orange wallet or citizy link for apk http://www.multi-upload.me/9v21xtay...abe7c0bc5d6cf5_multiupload-download-.apk.html
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
Personally I wouldn't download an app like this anywhere other than the providers website or play store. I am not suggesting this has been hacked but anything could've been done and your trusting it with card details? No thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] mrfog:
Sorry to ressurect an old thread but I have been having loads of trouble setting this up. After unrooting back to stock orange it still would not install the Barclay app. I called the contactless guys at Barclay and he told me to activate flight mode, then deactivate, then turn off my phone and remove the sim. Once turned back on you can go to your account on the website and ask for the pin to be re-issued. This finally worked for me. Make sure wireless is off the entire time.
[Galaxy S III General] shaggy5045:
Sounds like you need to copy the apk into the system/apps folder and remove permissions. Remove the execute permissions and leave all the read and the top write.

Reboot the phone then look for the app in teh apps drawer

Shaggy
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
And upload the app for us to look at
[Galaxy S III General] shaggy5045:
Yes - upload so we can have a gander too......;)
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
yeah cuz i seen to be unable to copythe apk into system-app but can for data-app

wheres the best place to upload the app?

i used to use megaupload ages ago lol iknow its gone lol
[Galaxy S III General] shaggy5045:
Did you change the folder to read/write from read only? I take it you are on a rooted s3? I know with my S3 rooted samsung firmware and my touchpad cm9 you put the apk into the system/apps drawer

As for an upload site ..... dropbox? hotfile? rapidshare?
[Galaxy S III General] encryptioncsta:
heres the link to the app straight from my wifes s3

http://www.mediafire.com/?iue14dgjhz1jcx2

i could only find the apk app under data-app rather than system-app

i have been messing around with it but i cant seem to get it to install, am a noob at this sadly as after checking write/read was executed iv sorta ran out ideas to attempted to get it installed...:(

i hope someone here on xda can get it install and reupload the working installable apk
[Galaxy S III General] shaggy5045:
Okay got it and put it in my apps folder, rebooted and the app appears in my apps drawer. Start the app and it tells me my sim card does not support the barclaycard app. I am on giffgaff. So there is a sim check.

If someone can break the code down and remove the sim check or write an app that fools it we might be able to get round it.

As for putting it on your phone, find the folder that has all your apps installed in it and copy it to there. Change the permissions and reboot - see if it appears. I am on wanamlite 3.4 jellybean xxdli7 if thats any help.
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
If you search around Paul O'brien of modaco has a hacked version of Google wallet that works in the UK.
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Can Google Wallet be topped up with a UK Credit Card now though?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
nope
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Would I be able to use my PayPal meastro debit card with this?
[Galaxy S III General] shaggy5045:
Okay...thought exercise.

What if you get a new pay as you go orange SIM, pop it in your phone, wipe the app data (clear data), then try the app again?

If it works...take out that SIM and put in your original SIM and see if it still works.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Can't somebody modify the app to remove the sim check?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Waiting for someone to remove the sim lock if its possible, I really want contactless payments on my phone, (been on at my bank to get it put on their mobile banking app).

And didn't the dev remove the hacked google wallet? I couldn't find it in his thread last time.
[Galaxy S III General] jameslfc5:
That sounds good... I might give this a try now
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Then backup the app and data (before adding any cards of course) using titanium and upload app and data here for all to download :)
[Galaxy S III General] NFC Guy:
This isn't just a sim check that's blocking you. The special SIM that Orange requires isn't just a marketing ploy. It contains the secure element which is necessary for the payments process; without it, I highly doubt you'll get this to work on other phones.

Could you please take a picture of both sides of your wife's NFC SIM? I'm curious to see what they actually look like.
[Galaxy S III General] studelube:
I rang Orange and they sent me one out. It's a Black Micro Slim with an NFC logo. The only strange part is the actual contacts on the sim card, instead of Oranges 3 strip contact system it has 4 contacts that don't leave a MM of space between the edge of the contact and sim.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
If the app lets you both pay and add new cards without this special SIM then it must be using the secure element the phones nfc already has not the one in the SIM, if it does indeed have its own.
[Galaxy S III General] AMoosa:
As the app continues to work without the sim, maybe it uses the sim secure element at first run, then doesn't use it after that...?

At any rate, has anyone modded the apk to work without an orange sim at all yet?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
It looks like it might not be so simple, the app runs a service direct from the sim, android has no way to replicate this service without that sim :(
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
Aren't both Visa and Mastercard working on their own apps? At this rate, it might be quicker waiting for them :(
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Mastercard has elected not to make an app, yesterday they released an API that others can use - now we have to wait and see who if anyone uses this API.

Visa are working on an app but I would guess there is a high risk that this will also become a carrier exclusive... :(
[Galaxy S III General] adamspud:
Fun and games here.

Got phone (S3 on Orange) on 3rd September, found out about NFC so tried google wallet (changing phone to a HTC Jewel) but then saw Orange Tap.

Spent ages going around the houses being told that "due to technical reasons it's not available on your phone". Eventually got Orange to send NFC enabled SIM so can now get the Orange Tap App working. (Think the "technical" reasons are that if they can limit the £50s they have to honour it will cost them less)

With that in mind the fun and games continue with Barclays, managed to set up account, add money to it, but can't get the app to install (it should be sending notifications through to phone - but none so far).

Have sent off SIM number to bc but nothing yet.

Tried the APK on page 3 of this thread which installed fine but is telling me my SIM is incorrect.

Phone is rooted with custom kernel and has had different roms in the past, but now back to stock (albeit with CWM and root).

Hunching that possibly the APK might be compiled on the fly from Barclays (hence the initial 30 min wait) to tie both with SIM number and possibly IMEI and that somehow they have a white list of available IMEI's of devices which have been brought between 5/9/12 and 5/10/12.

Just my few pennies, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm happy to be guinea pig and attempt stuff on phone.
[Galaxy S III General] NFC Guy:
Could you take a picture of the SIM please?
[Galaxy S III General] jdta09:
Similar here.

Bought the phone sim-free in the summer. Eventually got Orange to send the nfc sim. Installed QuickTap from the Play Store, went in and it seemed to work and directed me the Barclays site where I registered. However the QuickTap app still hasn't been notified of my registration.

On the plus side, I went back into the Barclays website and I have been given the £50. Can't use it till QuickTap picks it up though.

When I was on the phone to Orange, the (quite clued-up) guy in the Android support dept said I'd need to connect the phone to Kies which would update the phone software once it detected the nfc sim. Needless to say Kies has done no such thing. Does anyone think this could be at all likely? I was quite surprised he told me something fairly technical like that.
[Galaxy S III General] jdta09:
Update.

I went into the QuickTap app again and via this onto the Barclays website. I logged in as an existing customer and it said that it had noticed that I hadn't finished my app install. It then displayed a slightly different screen saying that it would take up to 30 minutes.

This time after 5 -10 mins I got a QuickTap Notification and this installed the Barclays app and showed my 50 quid.

This must mean that there isn't any type of whitelist.

I'm not rooted if that's relevant.

Looking forward to my free lunch later on today!
[Galaxy S III General] -josh-:
I rang orange last night and have ordered my nfc enabled SIM. Just waiting for it to be delivered. So can anyone confirm the steps to get it registered correctly as people seem to be having problems. Also does root and custom Rom etc. Make a difference?

-JOSH-
[Galaxy S III General] ticktime:
Do a sim swap on orange website. Download quick tap app from Google Play. Launch the app which will guide you through the process.
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Does anyone know if this app works on jellybean?
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
I ordered my new SIM yesterday from Orange. I don't particularly think they really have much of a clue though. They were asking if my S3 was from before or after Sept 4th. This made a big difference to them as before the 4th my S3 wouldn't be set up for it....

Erm, yeah, it is, I think I can download an app to 'set it up'...
[Galaxy S III General] Grantzxr:
I had the same thing with orange last night but finaly my nano sim is on the way! The kind cs lady did say i would need to upgrade to new latest firmware using KIES I did not have the heart to tell her i am running JB D18 :) all i can think is that Orange did not explane to well to there staff that the sept 4 date was when they stopped selling s3's with the older non nano sim card.
[Galaxy S III General] Blackhorse:
Im on Omega's Jellybean custom rom, works fine.
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
What a rip off. They're giving £50 to people who got it after 5th September... I got mine for my Gf about a week before.

****ing Orange.
[Galaxy S III General] gma388124:
I rang Orange and was told there's no such thing as nfc enabled SIM, but the app isn't working on my phone. I'm going to flash my phone to Orange firmware and see if it helps to make it work.

I got my Samsung galaxy s3 in June, but the guy at the Orange shop told me that the app only works on phones bought between September 5th to October 5th. Has anyone got the app working whose bought the phone out of them dates?

Someone mentioned SIM swaps on Orange website, is there a direct link?

What number have you guys been using to order the nfc enabled SIMs?
[Galaxy S III General] julesg73:
I've my S3 since July and had to get an Orange Quick Tap contactless sim(dialled 150), then do a sim swap through the orange website. I'm using Omega 26.1 and all works ok.... and got the £50 in my account too :D
[Galaxy S III General] gma388124:
^ Where did you get the quick tap contactless SIM from? I've spoke to half a dozen advisors that have told me no such thing exists. Isa it possible for anyone to post a picture of this SIM so I can show the shop advisors that there is a nfc quick tap SIM?

Also you got a link for the quick swap?
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
Just dial 150 then option 1 then option 2, and I think option 3.

Just ordered mine spent 15 mins on phone then got cut off, and they rang back and it should be here early next week. The they didn't even ask when I got my phone so not sure if I get 50 notes off them
[Galaxy S III General] julesg73:
Like demon-knight said dial 150, option 1, then 2 and then I think I used option 4.

I'll try and get a picture of my wifes one which turned up today.
[Galaxy S III General] julesg73:
I logged onto my orange account and the Sim swap link is on the right side of the page, 4th link down.
[Galaxy S III General] gma388124:
^ thanks I'm on the phone to them now, she goes there's no such thing as a contactless soon card, a nfc enabled SIM card or quick tap contactless SIM card.

Now been put through to android team, who are asking me if I have a.Barclays sticker on back of my phone and at the very bottom a Orange logo with a number next to it
[Galaxy S III General] julesg73:
The advisor I spoke to yesterday about my wifes phone told they weren't sending out quick tap sim cards and you had to register through orange website... then I told her I had already been sent 1 for my phone and she said "oh right I'll have to send you 1 then"

I dont have any Barclays sticker on my S3 either. I will say the Orange app is long winded, you need to register with Barclay card, add your card then you download the Barclays app. Also had a bit of trouble getting it all to work, needed to log on to the Barclay card website on my laptop then resend pin number and reboot my phone once it had been accepted.
[Galaxy S III General] gma388124:
Ok I just got told that the service isn't available on PAYG, is that correct?
[Galaxy S III General] julesg73:
Hmm not sure I'm on a contract... its a bit crap if thats true, I dont see why though.
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
Yep its contract only well thats what I was told when I asked for my brother

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Just tried registering with barclaycard and it dosent recognize my address and that I need to ring customer services...I will ring them at work on monday.
[Galaxy S III General] julesg73:
That's going to leave a lot of people peeved off :(

I'm still trying to find out if you can use the Barclaycard app at Visa Paypass tills, seeing as there is no Visa app yet.
[Galaxy S III General] demon-knight:
I would assume it does, in the faq it used the international recognized contactless payment logo, could be rong, but it read like it does
