[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrmmmguy99:
Guys, I just discovered something BIZARRE! Start a payment, then hold the back of the phone up to your ear. There is an audible sound! I'm not talking about the vibration the phone makes, this sounds more like a teensy tiny mouse piano or something. Very high pitched, very interesting sound! Woah.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:
i used samsung pay yesterday at luckys and les schwab, i didnt notice any beep.

after the update, i used again today at les schwab, the phone "beep" after payment is accepted. or maybe i just hearing thing in my head. haha

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

anyone older enough to remember 56k modem or fax machine? they makes sounds to talk to each other. haha
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrmmmguy99:
If you're being an ass, I'd appreciate you remembering also that those devices were made to communicate via sound. The credit card reader has no means of "listening" for a sound emitted by the phone, and the area of the phone emitting the sound has no means of producing one in a traditional way with a speaker. So let's maybe not make fun of me. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlenm:
I hear it too. It does a sound a few times, and then it changes the tone, it does that a few times, then changes again.

Must be different sounds for different types of credit card readers.

Which international variant did you get? I was thinking about getting the one from Hong Kong, SM-G9287, and use it on AT&T. I was also afraid that I won't be getting samsung pay from OTAs.

Do you guys know if a phone software update is needed for Pay to work on the 28th or will the app automatically go live?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kewlguy:
For beta period they are allowing by imei. I hope its not the case after 28th.

Did you try installing pay framework as well?

What version of the apps you have?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalm_Traveler:
Was accepted to the beta, have a US Bank card, but sadly I am rooted so it won't even launch.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integlikewhoa:
Did you know that this would happen before you rooted it?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codee:
I feel it shouldn't be surprising that you can't use a secure mobile payment system with a rooted phone, just like tripping knox. I stopped rooting my phones a few years ago, it was a ongoing task to update and adjust things for minimal benefits and a decent amount to loose.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalm_Traveler:
I use my fully customizable computer with "secure" payment systems. A miniature computer with phone call capability should be no different.

In any case, i suspected that given Samsung's obsession with Knox, they might pull something like this. At least Android Pay still works while rooted :)

For the record, i didn't know that rooting would permanently disable Samsung Pay, even if you Odin back to stock. That's fairly underhanded imo.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlenm:
Back when there was the terrorist group app for mobile payments, it wouldn't work while rooted.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integlikewhoa:
I been rooting phones for years and The note 4 was the last I had. Once I tripped KNOX there was never away to untrip it. And when it first came out if you wanted to root there was no way around not tripping KNOX to root it. When the NOTE 5 came out it was known that a tripped KNOX would not allow samsung pay. This is the first phone I have not rooted.

I needed my free hotspot so I have found non root way to get my Sprint Hotspot on and now I'm good. Been happy unrooted so far and looks like I might stay this way for the first time.

if you reset the app, dont you need to add your existing cards again?

i already activated US Bank and citibank credit card, dont want to activate them again by calling the bank to verify.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlenm:

i still getting "registration failed" or maybe they blocked me for spamming, i been trying to add the card like every freaking day. haha
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codee:
I didn't have to call Amex at all to activate it - I just scanned my card and entered my 4 digit code from the front then it said "pending activation" for around 30 seconds then I got a message saying that it was activated.

Re: The noises - It's because the MST is based on LoopPay, which Samsung bought not long ago. The Bluetooth Loop devices I have make the noises too.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:
luckily it' bought by samsung and not the fruit company !
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:
that is just bullsh*t talking !

then how come other people able to add their amex card now?

i did a online chat with them, they said the fraud dept is blocking it.

they said they need to verify some security questions and gave me a # to call.

i called them, they said they fixed the issue on their end and i'm able to add my card now.

but i still getting the same "registration failed" message.

at this point i dont really care if i able to add amex or not. the only place i need it is at costco until next year when costco kick them out. haha
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlenm:
But it will be a citibank card, does citibank work with Samsung Pay?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:
i added Citibank mastercard, it works. also added Citibank debit card but i tried to use it twice at different store, both stores said "card denied" so i removed citibank debit card from samsung pay. i really dont need debit card.

also i'm UNABLE to add american express to Android Pay, android pay is not beta.

so screw them. the only place i ever use amex is costco until next year.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netnerd:
finally i added American Express to samsung pay !

i called them again on the phone number on the back of the credit card.

this lady fixed my "registration failed ".

cant wait to try it at costco ! haha

I cant register my citi card, using sideloaded apk and framework using the latest version. Think its a verizon thing or just a card glitch?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlenm:
The app isn't supported on Verizon
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
That is why it is sideloaded along with the framework.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlenm:
That doesn't mean it's going to work.

But, did you try a different credit card?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinkick:
I agree. Kind of looking for other side load folks using it. I have an amex card that is coming, we will see how that goes. I wonder if Verizon is blocking the cards or its just a bug.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kewlguy:
I get the same error on G920f. I am sure Samsung can allow international version if they want just like Verizon but they have some check in app.

The typo should have been a dead give away lol "Trail"
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrexelDragon:
Still nothing.

I wonder if anyone got into this thing. You'd think that by some of us going through all this trouble to get into the beta, they'd let us in. After all don't you want people that are passionate about something to help you test it?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzy3970:
Ha ha yea I noticed it later after looking again. Typo or not it was officially from samsung, but just a survey :(
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wohee:
Also waiting on this, these are confirmed details that I was told via chat and through their hotline.

Emails from Samsung will be sent out to eligible devices (Note 5 & Edge+ with a Samsung account that has your device logged on - Samsung+ is a good way to check) to random people. You don't need to be a Samsung platinum member to receive an invite. Once you get the email it will basically tell you what to do and should have an apk that will update the current place holder and once you install that, you will be able to open the app and add your first card. This is invite only and there is no other way that they can get you into it regardless of how much you want to try it out. Im not sure exactly if you can invite others once you are in (didn't ask).
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] done12many2:
I didn't even know there was a ranking system. I'm glad I read this thread.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrexelDragon:
I feel like they haven't even send the invites out yet because I haven't seen a single person online state that they are in the beta.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wohee:
Yup, honestly this random beta thing bugs me. Half of those random people won't even know they even had got invited. Wish this was planned better and at least allowed some other forms to joining.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrexelDragon:
Yup it makes no sense. Like I said before why not let people who are actively willing to test for you in and not randomly invite some soccer moms who just got a Note5 who have no idea what the difference between Apple Pay and Samsung Pay is. Slightly annoying considering I've bought almost every Samsung phone for the past 3 years or so as well lol
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wohee:
New information:

There will be only 5000 invites and are sent to random samsung account members who have a note 5 or edge plus. You can not invite others once you are in. If you are selected you will recieve an email, also if you check the Samsung plus app and see a Samsung pay beta trial banner right when you open the app you can get the app that way as well. You don't need to be a Platinum member to get invited. Once the 5000 participants are selected, there is no other way to get in until September 28. So calling in about it will just have them tell you the same thing.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
Does anyone else see this in their Samsung+ app? I didn't yesterday but I see it now:

Doesn't lead anywhere when clicked except Samsung's regular Samsung Pay site that says it's coming 9/28.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wohee:
Everyone has that. I was told it will show up on the home page of the Samsung + app and will be in a form of a banner.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
Oh I didn't know that. I didn't see anything in this app about Samsung Pay until just now this afternoon. Oh well, guess I got excited for nothing.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wohee:
I do remember them telling me that they should be starting to be sent out tomorrow but I don't know why they are sending them out so late.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrexelDragon:

would be awesome if it works at gas pumps !

i just ordered white note5 today, should get it by Friday.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
Most of them it will not work at. The "dip and remove" type of card readers, like found at most ATMs and gas pumps are only activated upon a card so Samsung Pay won't work at those unfortunately. Pretty much any terminal you can swipe a card at will work though.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meek2100:

I don't think we're going to get straight answers. He's saying 8/25 is just the invitation. He's saying 9/1 people can sign up in the Samsung+ app. I wish someone who successfully entered the beta would come over here and respond to this thread lol.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
Agreed. Very frustrating! Did yours give you the 1-3 business days message too? It does look like they're "covering themselves" a bit though. The message still says "IF you're selected."
