No samsung pay for verizon

Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team. One of our skilled Chat Representatives will be with you in a moment.

Your Chat

Hello, my name is Kat. I’m happy to assist you with your question regarding your device.

How can I help you today?

kelliepito: Hi my name is Juan I have the galaxy S6 and would like to know if its going support Samsung Pay?

Kat: Hi great question. I can surely check for you. Allow me one moment please to see if there is any information regarding that feature.

Kat: Thank you so much for your patience.

Kat: Samsung

kelliepito: ok

Kat: Here is what I have found according to Samsung site. the s6 is one that does show that it has the nfc detection area on the device. we actually have a special sim card that inserts into that phone to allow the nfc to work

kelliepito: so will Verizon support it?

Kat: I've checked the system on my end, I'm not getting anything about this showing that our device does not support it. We do have all of the requirements for the NFC currently enabled in the device. I'm checking a co-worker phone right now to see if this is something that shows can be downloaded in the play store as I do not see it on the phone

kelliepito: ok thanks

Kat: You are welcome. allow me just another few moments please

Kat: Thank you so much for all of your patience. seems that this is not something that we will support at launch. I've checked the play store to see if there was an application for it and i'm not finding either as well.

Kat: according to the Samsung site right now, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and US Cellular are supporting this at launch

kelliepito: NOT GOOD

Kat: The device does have currently the technology inside of it to allow the important piece of the program to work. I would wait to check back on Samsung site as it nears the date to be sure that our phone will support it in full

Kat: Samsung Pay

kelliepito: WHY ONLY VERIZON NOT SUPPORTING IT?

Kat: I really wish that it was something that I could truly tell you. As of right now not every one supports this. It could be some type of incompatibility issue with the network. I'm not all that sure since the program has not yet launched. in my system there are not any information on the samsung pay. You are more than welcome to contact Samsung to see if they have more information on it. but its not to say that we will not support it, as of right now, we do not support it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] psych0r3bel:
IIRC, Verizon never got around to supporting Google Wallet and other payment methods for a good long time. Don't they have a proprietary "wallet" app? If it smells like a fish...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] pitokellie:
they (verizon) have soft card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] equake:
Android Pay is upcoming with Marshmallow but then again its VZW. SoftCard was bought by Google.

It could be technically the Radios/Modems in the VZW variant that has some incompatibilities but that is doubtful since Sprint uses the same chipset.

my 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
I talked with Verizon again and they really don't have a clue. I've got my rooted S6 on swappa and Samsung Pay was a pretty big selling point for me so I'm kinda happy I lowered the price this am
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] SchmidtA99:
Your phone is rooted so Samsung Pay won't work on it. Regardless of the carrier. That is one of Samsung's rule on using Samsung Pay. It checks to see if your device is rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DroidXrei:
Losing root was always a possible side effect of using Samsung Pay. The whole point is now we might have it delayed or not have it all together.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
It's not hard to unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Dstu10:
That would require you to make a couple of edits and/or bypass the root validation. If you modified the apk you likely compromised a very important security function as they are tied together. I'm not going into detail as I don't want to be responsible for someone leaked financial information. Don't do it unless you know what you are doing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
If I Odin back to stock, I am no longer rooted. I could then take the OTAs to get to OG5. Once Samsung Pay is released I would be good to go. Shouldn't need to modify any apks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Dstu10:
What sense does that make you just searched out a phone you could root .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
Ok, you've officially lost me. What are you talking about? If I searched out a phone I knew I would be able to root, I sure as heck wouldn't have gotten the S6 on launch day. Just so happened a root method became available shortly after. If Samsung Pay becomes available on the Verizon S6 (assuming I haven't sold the phone) I will unroot it in order to use Samsung Pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Dstu10:
You intentionally purchased a rooted phone. Samsung pay will not work on a rooted phone. Don't confuse other members that may buy a rooted phone thinking it works with Samsung pay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
I did not purchase a rooted phone. Maybe you misread my post. I purchased it on launch day. I then rooted it with ping pong root which does not trip knox. Returning to completely stock is as easy as flashing a tar file in Odin...at that point you are no longer rooted. From there you can take OTAs and when Samsung Pay hits, you'd be able to use it without any problems. Does that clear it up for you?

I never once said anything about being rooted AND using Samsung Pay. I DID say it was easy to unroot so you could use Samsung Pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] meek2100:
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.

Korea Link - https://kr.mpay.samsung.com/apk

US Link - https://us.mpay.samsung.com/apk

Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DroidXrei:
You're correct about it requiring 5.1.1. I don't know if it also checks the version of Knox associated with the latest firmware version but it does check the Android version at least. Until we get root on 5.1.1 for Verizon there will be no way to cloak root for apps that check it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] kR105!:
Your link for downloading the apk doesnt work :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] meek2100:
This for letting me know. It looks like it go shortened with ... for some reason.

Try this one.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgates:
Hello,

I am Nexus 5 user myself. I have a friend at work that was looking to switch over from the iPhone to Android and I sold him on the OnePlus One for the price, spec, and larger screen size. He has had decent luck with it so far but has been getting a lot of app and system app crashes lately. I think he may have received one OTA update to CyanogenMod since he's had the phone. I want to improve his Android experience, so I am wanting to get him as close to stock as possible but with some customization.

Personally, I have run multiple custom roms & custom kernels on my Nexus 5, but always end up going back to Stock image with Franco Kernel and Xposed Framework with Gravitybox and several other modules. I want to get him as close to this setup as I can on his OnePlus One.

From what I can tell it looks like OxygenOS is based on AOSP, so that means no CAF kernel right? So can I flash OxygenOS on his OnePlus One and then flash the plain old vanilla Franco Kernel? I know Gravitybox is officially only supported on Nexus devices but I know it will work on AOSP ROMs.

Is OxygenOS the way to go to get this phone close to stock image? Any other suggestions that may allow the use of a dark material theme (or does OxygenOS have this already?). Any assistance is appreciated. I want to get him up an running on a nice stable OS. I know it was great pre-Jellybean, but I haven't been all that impressed with CyanogenMod OS since then personally.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can't install Franco on Oxygen, as far as I know there's only one compatible kernel for Oxygen, can't remember which one it is though. In saying that, Oxygen is fairly close to stock so that might be what you're looking for. If you're considering install GravityBox in order to get some extra customisation then going close to stock probably isn't the best idea, it might be better to grab one of the ROMs that has some customisation built in natively.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazkowicz255:
About a stable ROM? I'm not really a good kernel user since I always use the default rom kernel. You may want to try a customed UI named Flyme based on 5.0.2. I think that it really made my phone's using time longer, and the camera is also better that Cyan. Hope I helped you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Shaagan:
Hi everybody!

Straight to the point. I've been spending the past days trying to figure this out, with no luck of course.

I just got this cellphone, and I want to change its prl to a local one (I live in Dominican Republic).

I have done this before with a couple of LGs, this is my first HTC phone, and in the past I used to finish this in less than 5 mins, but now, after installing drivers and such, I'm stuck at nowhere.

I have used CDMA Workshop, DFS and QPST. I got my SPC/MSL and my PRL file, but when I write in successfully, first it doesn't reboot itself when I close the program like it supposed to do, so I restart it myself, but the changes wont stick. No matter what I do or how many times I do it, the PRL I overwrite on the phone wont save.

I read somewhere that you need to use NV Item for HTC changes to be saved, but I don't know exactly how to proceed. I do have NV Item for a couple of LGs when I tryied to save its data, but I can't seem to find HTC One M7 Verizon NV Items.

In the end, I'm out of options, I have no idea what to do next.

By the way, I want to write in Tricom PRL which is a CDMA Carrier in this country.

Thanks in advance, and I hope someone out there has the answer for this. :confused:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pootang97:
Moto G XT1032 Bricked (?)

Hey! I'm gonna start off by saying I'm pretty much completely clueless when it comes to rooting, flashing, or doing pretty much anything with phones, so if this is a well known problem with an obvious solution and everything I dont know about it, I've been searching for ages to try and find something.

Anyway, the other week I was using my phone as normal, and it stopped responding to anything, so I held the power button to reboot it. Now, the phone won't boot beyond the blue Motorola boot logo no matter what I do. I've tried booting into recovery mode in order to wipe the partition cache and format it, but neither options seem to do anything after waiting about 45 minutes each for something to happen. Any tutorial I've found on the internet ends up not working for some reason or another half way through the steps. If anyone knows how I can sort this out it would be awesome.

I was on Lollipop 5.0.2 (i think), but I took it to a shop and I think they tried to flash the stock software on it but it still didn't fix it, but now I don't know what version of android my phone is running at the minute. I know that the bootloader menu is on version 41.18 if that means anything.

Cheers!
[XDA Assist] ghousekhasim:
A week ago i ported a 5.0.2 Lollipop for my titanium s2+ MTK 6582 and everythings working fine. Then I ported 5.1.1 rom ACIP (I take no Credits Its fine as long as i Dont distribute it) So everything is working in this 5.1.1 rom EXCEPT FOR THE HARWARE BUTTONS AND SOFT CAPACITIVE KEYS. I'M plugging my phone to charge to turn the screen on. AND I REPLACED generic.kl, hwcomposer and most of the things but no Luck. I even tried to port other roms such as pac man and resurrection remix all 5.1.1 AND ALL OF THEM HAVE SAME PROBLEM PLEEASEEEE HEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP
[XDA Assist] Mike B.:
Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.

I couldn't find a forum dealing specifically with your device but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://xdaforums.com/android/help where members familiar with your device might be able to best guide you.

Good Luck!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmec2:
Can anyone give me any information on how to add proprietary blobs for the first time? (or point me where to look)

The instructions I've found all say to extract them from a CM ROM that already contains them, but how do I add new ones that are only in closed source vendor ROMs at the moment?

If anyone is interested, my question relates to bug - BACON-161 on cyanogenmod JIRA - I'm fairly certain that the bug is in the library system/lib/hw/nfc_nci.pn54x.default.so and is fixed in this (closed source) library in OxygenOS: system/lib/hw/nfc_nci_pn547.msm8974.so.

Unfortunately I didn't get any responses in the OnePlus forums so I thought I'd ask the question again here as it applies to all Android devices.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RoachForLife:
Whats the best solution out there for getting aim on my 8525? Thanks guys!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] realslimb:
free or you wanna pay?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RoachForLife:
prefer free but is the functionality much better on pay? can you list both, thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hiimcliff:
free is absolutely great if you dont care about extras and you just want to chat. other than that.. its a hacked version of an old version of aim. its very buggy. doesnt auto switch from landscape to portrait and vice versa. doesnt show all of your buddies. and the list goes on. but its free and it works. so i dont complain.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] em_aych:
yeah, VERY BUGGY. everytime i run the program, when i power off my phone (just by tapping, not holding power button) and turn it back on, it wont turn on. also when i go to the program (while it's already running) from the start menu, more than likely the phone will just freeze, causing me having to reset the phone.

grew tired of it & just deleted it the other day. thinking about looking into either IM+ or Agile. any suggestions between the two??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
Here is AIM: www.aol.uk.co/aim/wince/index.html ... <it could be www.aol.co.uk/aim/wince/index.html but not sure...>

to use it, start it, then try to instant message someone by typing in there screen name and a message, at that point the sign in box will pop up and set it to sign u in automatically.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] realslimb:
if i had to pick one.. IM+ is def. the best ive used.. its $40 (expensive) but it has a today plugin, custom away messages, keeps you logged in, and has like 4 other services you can use with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RoachForLife:
Great thanks guys. How does 'staying logged in' effect battery life? I mean say you didnt IM anyone but it was on all day, will your battery die quickly? I havent tested Pocket MSN but I thought it seemed to take up more battery when I had it up
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SH4YD33:
Try this aim and see if you like it.. Its Free.

I use this as well.

Try this cab, but I'm not sure it's free I think you'll need cingular data plan.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RoachForLife:
trying octro and fairly impressed so far. Weird how I need to make an octro name before i can use the 'legacy aim' lol

Ill check out the others as well, thanks guys!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
The old aim that was hacked for wm5, works fine here...I use it nightly, goes from landscape to port.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
In desperate attempts for making this somehwat slow and laggy phone faster and bring it to life I have spent much time trying out different browser.

Most of the more popular launchers today are kind of customizable.

my main focus has been on opening app animations, and how fast apps are opening and if the animations are both FAST and Smooth with no stutter, this is where most launchers fail but where apex succeed, it seem to work very well with the weak gpu of M7. WIth Apex it has become a totally new phone my faster user experience and to switch between apps is a lot faster and the animations finally look good as they should, the animaions I use are Lollipop style animations.

I do not care much of lollipop anymore to be honest I have all what I need now a fast phone thanks to apex laucnher and also heads up notifications thanks to a google play app.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=codes.simen.l50notifications&hl=en (I recommend using it with black color and kind of a lot of transparency) add c notice https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.notice&hl=en for even better switching between apps and superior multi tasking

When you install the Apex Laucnher what you need to is to go the mange apps in settings then press the default app settings at the bottom to the left then after that set apex laucnher as default, this will mean that when you press the home button on your M7 you will not come back to Huawei laucher but you will come back to apex home screen.

Yes what can I say...I am really surprised that the launcher had so much impact. the biggest problem with the Mate 7 has been opening apps slow, and the animations apex laucnher fix this, and I have tried many laucnhers and Apex is the only one that also have fast animations when opening and switching between app. When it comes to animations in home screen and drawer most lancuhers are fast.. it is when you switch between apps and go back to home screen for instance the the differences are biggest.

Launchers I have tried before coming to this conclusion

APUS Launcher, Nova Launcher, 360 Launcher , go Launcher , action Launcher 3, CM Launcher , Buzz Launcher , Dodol Launcher, Hola Launcher ,
[Ascend Mate 7 General] apopet26:
What settings did you use ?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] iSpeeX:
Well, I bought Apex launcher for my previous phone and it worked great. But with this huawei device, i'm afraid that 'll loose the good features of the chinese manufacturer... All the ios like features like the search panel or the use without the app drawer wich is, for me, completly useless
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Kalemucu:
Hi

I am using Nova Launcher and I wonder what are the benefits of Apex launcher over Nova?

Thanks.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] phrozenflame:
I'm using Nova and it has been perfect.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
I use no speciel setting besides keeping apex in memory.

.Other parts are more of the appearance. the animations I use I think is default (which is lollipop animation which means apps open from bottom and up)

Otherwise I prefer to use more folders in the home screen since the folders open very fast and does not take much space either when folders are expanded..I prefer that then using the drawer all the time.. I use black background with kind of high transpercy in folders and drawer.

The speed increase you get with default settings.. but there is a lot more settings that affect the appearance.. which is more about taste.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Yeah but compare aphex with nova especially after a few hours of heavy use, you see the nova animations will start to lag after a while, while in aphex they are always consistent. .. one reason might be aphex is not as function packed.. which means it is heavier on the Mate 7.

I use the 2 GB version.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
The benifit is faster and more consistent animations, to my eyes is without question faster and more consistent over time.. Nova animations are not as smooth and does not work as fast and consistent on the M7 GPU that is my opinion.. It took me one week of trying all different launchers to realize the difference... my main eye was on how fast and smooth and consistent animations are..

My first thought when install aphex was that it more or less looked like a clone to Nova, but the main advantage seem to be better performance in Apex most likely cause it is more lightweight compared to nova.

Apex has the most well optimized Lollipop animations I have seen.. the animations are such important part of the phone..it have a really impact on the user experience since all you do all day with your phone is mostly switching app constantly..so it is important the it looks good and smooth and lagfree.. Apex is the only launcher that worked good for the Mate 7 2GB model.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Kalemucu:
Thank you.

I will try Apex when i have some time :)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] muzammil84:
Been on Apex for few days, generally liked it but there are better launchers in my opinion. CM launcher is to recommend, definitely brings speed back to Mate 7, it's got some useful tools as well(like antivirus, app protector etc, speed booster). However, if you're really looking for light launcher that is quick on mate 7 Xperia launcher is the choice. My phone is flying now(even on super laggy b312), i've been using Xperia z2 before and i loved it's launcher. It's minimalistic yet super functional, it's very light and clean looking, got great app drawer. There's few versions to download on xda forum( won't find it in play store), however older version seems to work better on Mate7 and has more launcher options and tweaks. Only with this launcher i can see 1 GB free RAM again on lollipop.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] phrozenflame:
link?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] drfandroid:
I personally prefer Action Launcher, as the 'covers' and 'shutters' are truly useful features that I couldn't do without after spending some time with them. Haven't really used Apex Launcher since the Galaxy S II, as I ran Nova. However, I wanted to try something new when I switched to the Ascend Mate 7, and haven't regretted the decision since. If you're not a fan of a vertically scrolling list of apps, it won't be your cup of tea. The aforementioned covers and shutters definitely merit a glance on the Play Store, though. 11/10 would recommend.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] jopomopo:
I managed to download xperia z3 launcher. As I've owned previously z ultra this is perfect launcher for me. Simple, elegant and mostly it works better than apex, nova or s launcher. Thanx for the tip.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
Where. Can I download Xperia launcher?

Also why does not asus launcher turn up on Google play? When I search?

Asus launcher have very good reviews and their asus phones have very weak intel cpu and low memory despite that all reviewers are vet impressed with the speed and flow of the phone .... I hope asus launcher works with Mate 7

Is one of you know how to keep the "search module" of the Huawei launcher on Apex ? You Know when you solide down and it appears with icons of récent apps ! I really love this feature and i don't want to loose it !
[Ascend Mate 7 General] blackinfinity:
I hope some one can link to the xperia launcher in question, however I am still questionable, the biggest is the difference in opening/switching app animations, if they are not fast and fluid then it means it is not a good optimized launcher, how fast it is in the home screen and drawers are not as important since almost every launcher is fast in this area...
