[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nosferatu.:
works like a charm for me got the invite within 24 hours

Only three places it didn't work at.

1.) Taco Bell - had some weird card reader integrated into the bottom of the register.

2.) Twistie Treats - they had a magnetic reader fed by a wire into an iPad

3.) Gas station - only tried one but the typical swipe one where you insert the card it wouldn't read

Otherwise, it worked great everywhere else. My first try was at our local supermarket. Worked there easily. Then onto Saturday night partying and drinking. I was playing around with our waitress all night and at the end in my drunken state I said let me come up to your terminal and pay with my phone. She thought I was full of crap (since I was rather drunk) but she was shocked when it authorized the transaction.

Let's see, I had another place tell me we don't accept mobile payments yet. I told her that this one you will and she was like :eek:

Lastly, just a couple of malls and Best Buy to round it off all worked great. It was an expensive weekend. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jonathanhtc:
I have the worst issue too.

I can't install the app even when I was invited.

This is part of the conversation with the Samsung Live chat guy.

Jonathan: is a Samsung Galaxy Note5, 64GB, (AT&T), Black Sapphire MODEL NUMBER: SM-N920AZKEATT HEX/IMEI #: ************5

Stark: Thank you for the details.

Jonathan: Ok

Stark: I have checked the details and your device is linked to your Samsung ID. You should see an install option, as you are unable to see the details, I will escalate the issue to our next level team.

Stark: Please provide me with the Android version and Baseband version and your working phone number.

Jonathan: ok

Jonathan: My number is ***-**-****. Android Version 5.1.1 and Baseband N920AUCU1AOGG

Stark: Thank you.

Stark: I have escalated the issue to our next level team, you will be contacted back in 1 to 2 business days.

So, that's all I got. I'LL WAIT THEN.

Did you have your phone traded out? Is this your 2nd note 5 that you have owned?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jonathanhtc:
No, the only one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
I had an initial issue with the app not loading. It now works, had to contact support. I just tried it at a location with a square reader and it was declined. Will try some other places soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
Worked perfectly on the new machines at CVS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Could have been my issue. None of my billing info was prepopulated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Swapped my note due to a pink hue issue in the screen. Haven't been able to get back in to Samsung pay even after giving them my info.

It is probably gonna take a day or so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Been since Sunday roughly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
Did you call them back and ask?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Been all email traffic, will call next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
Definitely call them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
At this point I've almost given up hope. Did the email route, called them, said 24-48 hours...bs. will probably have to wait until it's out of beta.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
Waiting to get whitelisted again with my new device. They told me they fixed the issue with switching imei, and I should be good to go in a day or two.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Finally got back on yesterday. Took about a week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogdi1988:
I had the same thing. Here's how you get the app: once accepted, open Galaxy Apps, check for updates. Get out of the app and open Samsung Pay. Now you'll get the app. Might have to do this twice but this worked for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] lyrad12:
via NFC or MST?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
MST. CVS blocks nfc payments from phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Just wowed cashiers at Kroger and at Babes Chicken. Priceless!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
I keep getting told it won't work, I just ignore them and they give me a wtf look 2 seconds later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
i used to get nervous to use mobile payment like ISIS Softcard and google wallet cus if it doesnt work, it' a big embarrassment. Since Samsung Pay works at 90% of retailers, if i dont try it, how do i know it wont work? I going to change my tire at Les Schwab on tuesday, i going to try it ! if i dont try it, how do i know it wont work? haha

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
I never got a reply to my beta request. However, I just noticed that when I ran the pre-installed Samsung Pay app, it prompted me to update (previously, the app was just a coming-soon placeholder). So I did, and now I've got a working Samsung Pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Sometimes the notifications come after the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
Unfortunately, it seems like Samsung Pay will have a short shelf life unless they work something out with their participating banks. If you add an EMV card, it will technically get added and work only if the merchant doesn't have an EMV terminal. Of course if they do, it is going to force you to insert the card so it can read the chip thereby defeating the purpose of Samsung Pay. I think it's weird though bc, as far as I know, tokenization is more secure than EMV so you would think it should allow you to still use Samsung Pay to pay but as of today that is not the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
just like phone with fingerprint reader, it forces you to use fingerprint as lock screen. wait, you can use fingerprint or pin as lock screen. just like cashed register, it can accept EMV or mobile payment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
Not quite sure what you're getting at but just to reiterate, if you add an EMV card to Samsung Pay and the merchant has an EMV ready terminal you CAN'T use the EMV card with Samsung Pay bc it will force you to insert the card with chip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
and what stores is that that force you to insert card with chip ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
Just a small one called Walmart. It's not so much a function of the stores forcing you to do so but the way their terminal is setup by their merchant services provider.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
funny. I have heard people used Samsung Pay at Walmart and it works !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
I've used it at Walmart before too....with a card in Samsung Pay that doesn't have a chip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Never had this problem. All my cards have the chip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
EMV terminals also have NFC, don't they? So Samsung Pay should just use NFC at those terminals. I wonder if today's update to the non-beta version (1.3.2116) will do that properly.

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

And have you used Samsung Pay at EMV terminals?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Yes sir. Went through without a hitch. Who is making you use your actual credit card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
I haven't encountered the problem myself. But Mickey reports above that Walmart's EMV terminals insist on the physical card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
when i pay, i dont pay attention if it' EMV terminals or not but i believe most stores are using EMV terminals by now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
The terminal doesn't know it is an EMV card...not sure how it could insist on anything.

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------

Only like 20% of merchants are expected to have EMV terminals, so I'm not concerned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
The bank knows and the terminal talks to the bank.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
bingo ! ding ding ding !

and the bank know you using Samsung Pay, the bank talk to the terminal "approved".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
Yes, obviously that's how it should work. But we have an empirical report that at least at Walmart, it does not currently work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
"I've already used it twice at that same Walmart with a Spigen case and didn't have any issues."

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
I think you're missing my point. Does the physical card you loaded into Samsung Pay have a chip in it? I already know it doesn't bc yours works at Walmart. As banks reissue all cards with a chip then it WON'T work at a terminal that doesn't have NFC (like those at Walmart) bc it is detected as a chipped care and the whole idea of EMV is to require the card to be present during the whole payment process. I have a US Bank Card that doesn't have a chip and it works at Walmart with Samsung Pay. I have an Amex with a chip in Samsung Pay and it DOESN'T work at Walmart bc it forces the card to be inserted to the EMV reader. Again, do some research on EMV and you'll realize all banks are starting to reissue their cards with chips to avoid the liability shift. Until Samsung Pay makes a workaround or all merchants incorporate NFC (not sure how that works with EMV cards) then Samsung Pay will eventually lose it's acceptance rate .

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 AM ----------

But did you use Samsung Pay as MST or NFC? I'd be willing to bet it was NFC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
do some research.

when you pay with Samsung Pay, it does NOT use your chip card number, it give you a digital virtual #.

so they cant assign this digital virtual # with no chip on it? then walmart will see your card dont have chip and not forcing you to insert card ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
MST. I haven't used Samsung pay as NFC thanks. My cards have the chip and I've used it as MST at a terminal with the EMV readers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
and it shouldnt matter if it' NFC or MST. it' just a different method of sending the credit cards info to the cash register.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
I don't shop at Walmart. My specific example was at a self check out line at home depot with samsung pay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
Those are EMV capable? I think it also matters of they've turned that feature on. Like some merchants have turned off NFC even though the terminal could accept it (ie Rite Aid). I could be wrong and am willing to accept it but in going to try one more time at a third different Walmart just to verify.

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

I hope I'm wrong because I would love for Samsung Pay to stick it to Apple Pay!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Sorry, yes, EMV capable, had a sign that said to use that if using a chip card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
This pissss me off.

I open up announcements and there is nothing there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nosferatu.:
unless something changed very recently at Walmart I went there about 2 weeks ago and used my EMV based credit card that's loaded into Samsung Pay and it worked fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
I called Samsung pay, they said the link is broken right now and they are working it. If I get more info I'll put it here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
I called them too, and they said the same thing.

I also asked when chase will be supported, and they don't know. Chase doesn't work in android pay either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
And it just gets worse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
i really have no need of "another" wireless charger or flip cover. if i able to get it, i just going to sell it. i clicked on "Get my FREE accessory", i didnt receive any promo code, it just takes me the Samsung shopping store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
Finally
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
how you do that? i still getting "your device is not eligible to participate"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
I called them, and while I was on the phone it started working. Don't think he did anything. He said they were having some issues, though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
I called as well. Try clearing cache of both app and framework. It started working about 35 min after I called them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
why why why? if you clear cache of both app, dont you need to activate your cards again? i dont like doing that.

i just got a code now. they must be having issues earlier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] juzzybear12:
Can anybody confirm if Chase is accepted by Samsung Pay? I've been trying to add my card and I read Chase AND Visa should work. But nothing.

Eh, nah. Walmart has always required me to insert the card. I've never been allowed to swipe it there regardless of Samsung Pay.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
If you have a chipped card. But the digital card shouldn't have a chip associated with it, so it shouldn't ask for it to be inserted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
I used mine this morning on a machine that has a chip reader and it worked without having to insert the card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
Clearing cache is fine. Don't clear data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] netnerd:
maybe it just american express having problems.

i have used my Citibank and US Bank with chip on other stores with no problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
I used my Costco Amex this morning at the emv terminal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
No, just clear cache, not data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nosferatu.:
I can confirm as well the offer works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Gary02468:
Samsung Pay just failed for me at one local establishment with an Ingenico ISC250 reader. The reader said "card accepted", but then the clerk reported that her terminal showed the payment as rejected. She said that had happened to everyone so far who tried to pay that way there.

I then used the physical card (same one linked to Samsung Pay) and it went through properly. The card has an EMV chip, but I swiped it instead of using the reader's EMV slot.

So the initial score for me is that Samsung Pay works at three establishments, fails at one. Not a good enough ratio to keep using it unless the situation improves.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
If you have the time, I would call Samsung Pay to report the error. The number in the app works and the wait time is not bad for support.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
If you go back a long ways, I mentioned that our isc250 readers didn't work with Samsung Pay at first. But after a firmware update they work. We are getting updated to use chips in the next few days, so I'll be able to test if Samsung Pay works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] foulmouthedruffian:
My AMEX worked perfectly at ikea and of course gamestop. Used magnetic for both. Had trouble at Burger King so I had to swipe, but I guess they have old school readers.

I got my free wireless charger offer as well and just ordered it!

Neither my Discover, CapOne, nor my two Chase cards were accepted in the app. I emailed Discover a couple weeks ago imploring them to join Samsung Pay and received only a form letter back.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
Yeah so I just tried to use my chip enabled Amex at a different Walmart and it failed again prompting me to "insert" the card. Switched to my non-chip enabled US Bank card and it worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
That's really not a good sign, all my cards are chipped.

If that's the case, this feature is obsolete the day it was released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mickeywdw1254:
Yeah it sounds hit or miss but that's not reliable enough. Especially at one of the largest retailers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
I don't shop there, but I hope it's not the case everywhere else. Maybe I'll swing by target and try it there tomorrow.

Well I've tried it at Walmart 4 times now and each time it didn't work and asked for me to insert the card. I talked with Amex and they are sending me a contactless card (NFC & EMV). I'm hoping this card will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] harlenm:
Walmart must be blocking it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Carsus55:
One more reason for me to take my money elsewhere.

I have gotten bad card or card read errors a couple of times. Specifically at a small card reader that requires manual charge amount input after swiping the card.

Def a small card reader. No manual charge input, but I bet it's something in the system that's similar since these prices are set manually weekly by the CK staff or whatever.

Dear XDA folks,

I'm afraid that I've made a noobie error.

I successfully unlocked the boot loader, and injected a custom recovery by following the instructions at

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-lte/general/rooting-moto-g-2015-lte-xt1078-t3086069

However, I am now unable to copy files to the phone either via adb or using androidfiletransfer (I'm on a Mac) as both the internal and external SD cards are now mounted as read only. I did try adb remount and a few other mount instructions (thanks google!) but don't appear to have permissions to change the file system.

This means I can't seem to install SuperSU in order to root the phone.

Hopefully somebody can tell me some easy steps to fix it?

Thanks in hope,
