Any chance it's the same as this. This is the card linked to my Corp account. Could that be the problem. I don't want to apply for a HDFC credit card just for s pay cos I was able to add my friends credit card.

Once rooted Knox 0x1 samsung pay won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] dj_richard05:
I understand but someone here got it to work on the Renovate Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] spacefanboy9216:
SPay Works !!

Samsung Pay is working with special cards (I have an SBI Doctor's Card) too. I think the Samsung Customer Care people are dumbos. Forced Stop Samsung Pay and then cleared the data followed by a reboot. Tried it at a local supermart, it works flawlessly! People around me were asking whether there is an app for such things. I told them no you need to get this device! However few of the POS machines refuse the payment saying 'Call Issuer' but it works on most of them. Hardly a second is required for detection. Amazing work Samsung !!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] spacefanboy9216:
1. Add the card details manually (it worked for me)

2. You may get an OTP on your registered mobile number for linking your card with Samsung Pay

3. Open Samsung Pay from lock screen or screen off or home by swiping upwards from the bottom

4. Tap to choose your preferred card (if you have added more than one)

5. Verify your identity with a PIN (Samsung Pay Pin which you had used during setup) or Fingerprint

6. Move the phone closer to the card swiping area of the POS machine.

7. The machine will automatically ask your for your PIN. Do not be confused by that. Just enter your Card PIN which the bank gave you and NOT the Samsung Digital PIN on the POS machine

8. Voila! Payment successful. Be ready to answer some questions from the shopkeeper or people standing nearby :P

Since our device has Magnetic Secure Transmission, it must be converting the digital data and handing it as a token to the POS machine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Thanks, but when does the merchant enters the amount?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] spacefanboy9216:
The merchant enters the amount promptly after you bring your phone near the machine. And then after that you need to enter your Card PIN from bank on the POS.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rkaria1970:
Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] spacefanboy9216:
So true!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] muhammedr95:
Bro you are the man. I would press the like button a 1000 times. I tried everything to add this debit card and was even gonna apply for a credit card. I had cleared data before but never force stopped the app. It worked.

I must say Google has really upped the game with the Google Assistant. Seems so responsive and accurate. The last time i used Google Now i could relish that Siri was much better but today GA seems to be one step ahead.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
How did u install it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] shantanumundada:
just make sure your google app and google play service is updated to latest version. Then just add "ro.opa.eligible_device=true" to your build.prop and reboot the device. This should enable google assistant. :D

I had to reset my phone for spay. I also lost the package disabler apk which I had. I am not able to make any package disabler work now ?? Anyone using it, if so which version. I can't stand this white theme
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Did nothing ! just saw some posts on G+ of people getting the GA pop-ups. Long pressed the home button and i was greeted with the assistant. You might need to log off and log in again in your google app. I guess the language needs to be set to English (US) in Google App and Phone language for it to work.

I tried but I am getting update failed when I am trying to install the in app 43 MB update . Any way out other than factory reset ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] archit12:
None that I know of. Tried to force downgrade through ADB but didnt work. You could try waiting and hoping that they come up with an update higher than .38
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rajat_delhi:
Open gear app and from there, you will see start using Samsung pay. Set it up. You will have to re-register your card(s). Once done, setup pin on gear.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] deohrishikesh7:
There is no such option in gear app.. Is your gear bought from India?

could you please share some screenshots or any extra steps you have to take..

I have spoken to pay support and they said not yet supported..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] rajat_delhi:
Mine is the US version. If you really want to use SP, try flashing gear firmware from US. You can also see if there is an update for gear app on phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] deohrishikesh7:
Ok thanks.. That's why you have pay in gear s3 frontier...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] violin.siva:
Guys please clear my doubt. I just finished my dinner and paid the bill via samsung pay. When I placed it near the chip it got read. I entered the amount and the card machine asked me for pin. My doubt is in advertisement samsung says tap and pay then why I need to enter the pin manually in the machine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Archmag3:
ohkk, thanks. What method did you use to format ? from samsung recovery or from settings menu ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
These restrictions might have been put by RBI. India is famous for adding multi levels of security.

Friends

I am planning to buy S7 Edge soon. I heard a lot of display problems like a purple line from top to bottom.. Did anyone experienced the same ?

Is the TouchWiz improved after Nougat update? Any lag or problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Display issues were only with less than 5% people and moreover you can always get a replacement within the warranty period. I had no issues/lags with TW on MM as well though seems even more fluid on N. If budget is not your priority this might not be the right time to buy S7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
Budget is my priority..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bala_gamer:
display issues are very rare, but again you have warranty and their service center at chennai(valvular kottam signal) is the best i have ever come across. Touchwiz is way better , if you are coming from older devices like s4 or s5 you will be shocked to see the performance difference especially with nougat. if budget is not a constraint wait for s8 else go for s7e.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kshitij84:
I'd agree wait for s8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
Thanks mate. Actually i am planning to buy from ebay. Shabeerf trusted seller. Imported Dual sim model. I will get 1 year seller warranty only.. Thats why little afraid of display issue.

I am a Sony user since years. .Only used Galaxy 5 ( ages ago) Now using One Plus 3T. But not happy with the display and Camera. Performance wise its best with latest Nougat 7.1.1. But camera and display is not the best...

And don't hav much budget to buy S8. I am looking for S7 or S7 Edge only...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] gaurab03664:
Has anyone opted for warranty extension of S7 edge? How much did it cost?

Btw..I guess Galaxy S8 battery performance will be like S6 Edge as because to power 5.7inch screen only 3000-3200mah battery will be there. On the other hand, S7 edge has 3600mah for 5.5inch.(Processor will be 10nm but a similar capacity would have seen a superb increase in battery performance.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] muhammedr95:
I brought mine from UAE in November for 36k. S7e black.. how much does it cost. It's very cheap now in US, if there's anyway you can arrange.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
imho, dont buy from Ebay. I personally dint like the s8 (rear fingerprint reader). you can buy the s7 edge on emi..!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
Well , I don't have any credit card to buy EMI. I am getting it for 38k from ebay. May be after some months the rate will decrease again..

And do u have any special reason to not buy from ebay ?

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

No way for me from UAE... :laugh: . Only way is ebay and its cost 38k.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
I never trust ebay for expensive stuff. Have heard for many complaints from buyers. You can go to shops like vijay sales, they give 0% interest on Emi through Bajaj finance... Or any other shop who has a tie up with Bajaj finance or any consumer durables loan..

Just giving you some ideas..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] krumbs:
I am on the latest Helios ROM with BTU CSC. Short of downloading the latest INU firmware off Sammobile or Samfirm and flashing via ODIN, is there a better way of getting Samsung Pay to work?

Also, does SP work on rooted phones?

Lastly, I have the S3 Frontier. For Samsung Pay to work on it, do I have to necessarily install the US firmware? No other option?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] AlanDS:
Happy to see you here Rajeev. I came from Xperia Z2 to S7E and happy with this device. TouchWiz is much more fluid on Nougat and works best. No lags. I have this device since last 4 months and I have not faced any problems so far.

As others saying, if budget is not your priority, you should wait for S8. Else S7E is very good. I paid 38k for this device here in Kuwait (Nov 2016 - Dual Sim version).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
Hei buddy. Happy to see you too... Budget is my priority bro. I think i should wait for some more months. So price will reduce
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] AlanDS:
Once S8 is released and well established on the market, we can expect the price of S7E to go down by a huge margin. But it would take another 4 months.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajeev:
Yea i am waiting for that only. Until then i will use OP3T

Is the camera comparable to iphone7 plus and also how is the battery life with Nougat?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
Camera & battery is much better as compared to any iPhone. If you like the design of s8, then you should wait for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] smartjain:
to be honest, I don't like the design of the new s8. All I use 95% of the time is mail, whatsapp and camera. But s7 has some issues with Nougat right?

It is cause of root. No method as of now works for Samsung pay if we are rooted. One feature we might miss [emoji52]

Post every factory reset you'll have to wait for at least 2 full charge cycles to compare battery. The apps start building the cache again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] toocool7610:
But why android system is draining battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Android system for now would be bcuz of lot of cache processes running in the background. Post 2 battery cycles if you still get high android drain, that would be bcuz of your poor LTE signals / data saver feature being enabled or some rogue app keeping the system awake. I clean flashed the latest N through odin and i don't have any high android drain.

Samsung Pay error invalid sim

Hi guys,

I'm using an unlocked S7 edge From UAE running Nougat. I registered for samsung Pay but didn't have the samsung Pay app on the phone, so i installed the latest Samsung pay framework 2.7 and the Samsung pay 2.6 app from apk mirror. But now when i open Samsung Pay it gives me an error "invalid sim card. Failed to read your phone number from your sim card. Check your sim card and try again." And doesn't go any further. I'm On Airtel. And Samsung Knox is working.

Please help.

Anyway i installed the lattest version 2.7.something and it gives error of not reading sim. I then installed a new apk(latest on the website) by appmirror which is an old version 2.6.0. All things work and fine but the card machine do not react when i authenticate and touch my phone to it. ( any ideas?) But i then check the about setting and it says the latest app is 2.6.14 INDIA OBT RELEASE , but as obviously it can't update from service as its not compatible.
