Sorry, traveled a couple hundred miles today - but here's a quick (non-expert) recommendation so to speak. And this is from researching + other members' info..

- You MUST install AP, BL, CP + CSC

- CSC_HOME will not wipe your DATA but in my experience this has been hit-or-miss depending upon which firmware you are coming from. Perhaps if you're using XSG and flashing another XSG then CSC_HOME may work, but if flashing from another firmware (such as DBT or another) you should use CSC. I messed around with this and just decided that a full wipe is best (again CSC, not HOME_CSC) so that everything gets wiped.

- Another member mentioned changing his modem from one firmware version to another didn't work well. It's so easy to backup your apps, why take the risk? Also if you are using a Giggle account than much is backed up already. I have had to re-enter my Gmail account info + Accounts in general when using SS SmartSwitch, but again doesn't take long. If you apps don't install automatically you can use "purchased apps" or such and install them also. I would make sure that Spay works for you before fully reinstalling everything just to save time. Some apps & data will be working for you after Giggle/SmartSwitch finishes, but for many you will need to re-enter your info/id/password stuff.

So make sure to sideload SP framework/app first so you don't need to do this over & over again.

And if you have more concerns/questions make sure to re-read this entire thread. And don't forget about the search box.

Good luck.

EDIT: FREE $5 Duncan Donuts gift card = big friggen deal... I don't even know where a DD is.. Wish I could sell or donate my 'FREE' gift card...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jhunkab:
HOME_CSC: keeps phoe data intact; does not change the underlying CSC; This method works for enabling Spay but does not enable OTAs.

CSC: resets phone - you lose all apps and data in phone memory card (external card data stays intact), it also changes the underlying CSC in product code, you can use this to switch to firmware of more frequently updated region and get OTA updates.

For checking VOLTE - ATT provides setting for enhanced LTE under connections; its location may be CSC depdent too.. so not entirely sure

Android: Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Mobile Data > Enhanced LTE Services must be On.

may also look at phone dialer->more-->settings under that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
XSG doesn't have the option for enhanced LTE in either of the spots you have mentioned.

Flashed with the regular csc yesterday and haven't experienced any problems. Asked to allow whitepages this morning.

I'm about to install SPay and the framework, will report back with results.

I was going to soft reset it though because I thought I encountered the battery glitch. My estimated battery levels dropped to 8 hours when I turned it on this morning from my usual 13, and my screen and Android system were both using 60% and 40% respectively without anything else using power. However, now it's back to normal. I could've sworn cell standby was using less than 14% of my battery on UAE though...

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

Managed to load my Walgreens membership card.

Not ready to make a purchase just yet but I assume my single Chase debit card will work just fine. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Soon after flashing DBT my battery dropped immensely and also my standby went through the roof. I've only flashed 4-6 different versions and don't remember how long I kept them, so not sure if this was an issue during other flashes. I went ahead and did full wipe cache/etc but don't think it was necessary tell the truth. Either way I'm back to normal for my unit - not sure I can get 2 days without charge but never expected this anyway. Could probably do some major tweaking but as I'm not rooted & getting close to 2 days anyway I just don't care to for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
Loaded my chase debit card and was unable to make a purchase of 1 powerade at a CVS. After a few attempts I was able to get to get to the payment screen but entered the wrong code on accident. This did, however, get me the $10 gift card for some reason. I went back in and tried to use that, managed to get the payment screen after the first few attempts, hit debit and nothing happened.

The cashier told me it wouldn't work because my debit is a chip but I kind of doubt that. The terminal at that chase is so crappy that I wouldn't even be surprised if it wasn't spays fault. :/

Don't know what the $10 card counts as though, so that was probably my bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
Went back to the same CVS to buy a tiny skin care bottle with the gift card. Success! Took a few tries but it worked.

But yeah, if you put in the wrong pin while making a purchase then it'll trick SPay into giving you the gift card for free. Just so everyone knows.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
huh? free gift card/wrong pin?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spielnicht:
I've upgraded to the latest Samsung Pay (2.3.00) and Samsung Pay Framework (2.5.00) and no issues reported. AmEx cards still don't work and I still can't buy gift cards within the app itself, which is what I was hoping this update would address. Oh well.

I'm on the XSG framework by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
Yep. I used the wrong pin for my debit (new card so I was still getting used to it) and got the "first purchase" $10 card despite not paying anything.

Used my debit to buy clothes yesterday, so now I know it works with debit and credit. :D Can someone confirm whether or not the SPay update works on DBT?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Same 2.3 + 2.5. Amex won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
How do you do a "full wipe cache" btw? After a full reset android system is still taking up more battery than it did on UAE (16% vs less than 10 I think). It might be due to the new update though which I didn't install until recently. I also read that you have to give the phone a few days to adjust after a full reset but it's been about 4 now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
Intersting. My Amex on XSG has been working since day 1. I did upgrade to the latest 2.3.spay today and haven't tried yet but I assume it will work since I never had issues except at Walmart;)

What version of SPay/framework works with Spain?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HelloMiggy:
Spain is one of the countries with Samsung Pay. Once installed it'll prompt you for the card, mine didn't work since it was just activated in Spain (In June), so only Spanish banks were working. I haven't touched the Framework or S-Pay, It should be newer than 2.0.32
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
​

No American banks? Damn. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Boot into android recovery to fully wipe cache. You could also fully charge then let drop to empty 2 or 3 times (calibrate battery).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
This is really informative, thanks! So the spain firmware does wifi calling on at&t? Interesting.

Personally I've done the UAE and Germany (dbt) firmware and have stuck with the latter for a while now, mostly for the white pages feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
I forgot to mention that I updated to s pay 2.3 today and it's working fine on Germany dbt firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] a7ypic:
Are you using a US card? If so how did you update? Did you download the apks or did you update from the app itself? Did it also update the framework for you?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] paullu:
It looks like after update to newest version 2.3.00 can't add any more new card to it.

Anyone can confirm that ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
I updated to SP 2.3.00 & framework 2.5.00 and am able to add cards (DBT/Germany).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] paullu:
Yea, I just know need to update both
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
Im in USA on at&t. I updated through the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tstolz33:
Ok, I think I screwed up. Been away from this thread for a while and hadn't updated Samsung Pay or Framework in a couple months maybe. Saw that 2.3.00/2.5.00 was working for some here, so I upgraded to both. I'm on the latest XSG firmware, located in the US.

So when I went to try Samsung Pay, it said payment failed. Then, after a couple tries, it seems to have deleted all my cards and wants me to go through setup again, but nothing happens when I press on "start."

Any suggestions? And what are the most recent SPay versions known to work on XSG in the US? Or maybe it's time to switch to one that allows Volte...

What exactly do you mean by AMO having no Facebook, whatsapp, etc? Just that they're not preloaded and impossible to uninstall completely? No problem adding whatsapp after the fact, is there?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HelloMiggy:
For the most part, I haven't really tinkered with s-pay. Only because I've switched from different regions to find better stock roms. I can't help you with s-pay question, best thing I could tell you is try to downgrade the s-pay to the one that worked for you.

For the VoLTE

XME - Malaysia, should be your best bet. I've tried it, but it gave me an error saying the carrier version of this firmware was not upgraded.

INS - India, I've seen on the older version had VoLTE, seems like the upgrade took it off. For me it did.

And for the AMO Spain question. When you get other stock firmwares. They have Facebook preinstalled in the ROM and it adds more space to the phone. So when you get the Facebook bloat it does add some space.

Whereas the ones without Facebook installed, it's lighter and seems to be faster. I haven't had a chance to AnTuTu with and without, it would be good to know. I loved that AMO didn't have Facebook and so on, it did have a little Orange Bloatware. Widgets and something else, it was light bloat.

Ins - India seems to be one of the Facebook bloat, but it actually feels really smooth. I've been cominf back to it because it's really responsive. The reception seems to be really good and I live in Los Angeles. No s-pay or white pages, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
[MENTION=7511495]tstolz33[/MENTION] My s7 due came from UAE with the xsg firmware as well. If I were you, I would download the Spain amo or Germany dbt firmware from updato, backpup and do a full Odin update. s pay works better for these firmwares and they have less preinstalled app bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tstolz33:
Actually, i'm in the process of downloading the AMO version. Thanks for the reply, though. I guess it's time to abandon XSG for good.

Has anyone tried the German T-mobile version, DTM? Since I'm on T-mo in the US, I'm wondering if I'll get white pages, S pay, plus wifi calling and volte.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] paullu:
Anyone can add American express to S pay?mine keep said registration failed
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NinjaZX6R:
I am eagerly waiting for someone to answer this because I am in the same situation. I would like to use T-Mobile WiFi calling and VoLTE in the US (and would care about that more than S-Pay). Maybe I'll try the DTM version when I pick up my phone later this afternoon and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
XSG, using delta Amex
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] paullu:
I don't have Delta one [emoji17]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tstolz33:
So did you try out DTM? I'm considering going to the Czech version, region code TMZ, as VOLTE and Wifi calling appear to work on US T-Mo with that firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CollinFX45:
I didn't get a chance to last night, but will try today. Oddly enough my phone came with the UK firmware that was supposed to have WiFi calling enabled, but I don't see it anywhere in the phone settings. I think because my service provider doesn't have it, it doesn't show up. My T-Mobile prepaid line hasn't been renewed this cycle and I don't really want to put $30 onto it unless I'm sure this will work since I use Cricket instead. If I could get T-Mobile WiFi calling though, I would switch back to T-mo. Kind of a catch 22, but I'll probably add the funds later and try it again.

Any thoughts on whether or not WiFi calling option is disabled if your carrier does not offer it? I don't even see the check box in the options, though this firmware (G935FXXU1BPHJ) is supposed to have it.

Also, Samsung Pay is not working. Ugh, guess it hasn't rolled out in the UK yet. I'm more interested in WiFi calling, but if I can't get either of these features to work I'll probably just go back to the UAE firmware I used to use that had S-Pay working.

-Collin-

Edit: continuing my streak of luck, I just added the funds and still, no WiFi calling option on the UK firmware. Further to that lucky roll of the dice, Sammobile is down today through Sunday for the "Free" downloads of firmware. Guess I'm out of luck on all fronts. Joy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tstolz33:
I have AMO installed now, and the Wifi calling option is there, just not usable on T-Mo in the US. S-Pay works mostly, but I can't seem to add AmEx cards to it for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CollinFX45:
Thank you, that's helpful. So it sounds like WiFi calling with T-Mobile in the US just isn't going to work on firmware that doesn't belong to them. Bummer. As for S-Pay, UAE worked fine with my AmEx, so I may just go that route. Thanks for the information, much appreciated.

Here you go:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NinjaZX6R:
Thanks, I signed up for a premium membership and am downloading much quicker. Trying DTM first.

Did you try the Czech? Doubtful that it has Samsung Pay right? I may stick with XSG, but I will keep testing. DTM is almost finished, will report back shortly.

-Collin-
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] tstolz33:
If DTM works for you, I'll probably just go with that. Having just reset my phone for AMO, I'd like to avoid having to do that again more than once.... If DTM doesn't work, I'll try the Czech one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] NinjaZX6R:
No luck. I'm not going to bother with S-Pay because there is no options for VoLTE and no option for WiFi calling. Bummer.

Weird that my EE ROM didn't have it. It's supposed to. Something is still fishy here. Any suggestions before I wipe this and start over? Feel free to PM me.

-Collin-

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

I don't have the patience for this sport. Trying TMZ now :)

-Collin-

EDIT: No luck on the TMZ ROM for me. No trace of WiFi calling (in phone settings, mobile settings, etc.) and no trace of VoLTE or "Advanced" LTE options. Going to stick with XSG firmware and get Samsung Pay working. I prefer Cricket anyhow. This was frustrating, but good luck to those folks who get it working.

I have DBT installed and was able to add cards to Samsung Pay. Was able to use SPay once weeks ago but it hasn't worked since. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spielnicht:
Since I wasn't able to add my AmEx cards (which is what I use the most for the points) and I wanted the Whitepages feature, I decided to take a chance and switch over to another firmware. I started with AMO and it failed to add any cards with the preinstalled SPay and with the manual upgrade to the latest version. I then moved on to DBT. BINGO! This time I started with SPay (2.2.02)and SPayF (2.4.02) and was able to add my Citi, Chase AND AmEx (Everyday and Green Corporate). I then upgraded to the latest version of both SPay and SPayF and all is good. Needless to say, I'm also loving the Whitepages functionality. I still can't buy gift cards through the app itself.

Again, not sure if this is pure luck and will work for others, but those are the steps I took.

P.S. I always check re-partition and update BL, AP, CP, CSC in Odin to make sure the phone is completely cleared of previous firmeware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
When you say you can't buy gift cards "through the app itself" do you mean you can't visit any store (such as Harris Teeter, Giant, etc) and purchase or is there some other method you are talking about? I've purchased Visa, Amazon, Starbucks, etc during this past week in Virginia. I'm fairly busy these days but when I check this thread I keep seeing this issue for purchasing gift cards. You may know this already but gift cards these days need to be purchased through $$$ or debit cards, no credit cards.

On another note I forget why I switched from AMO to DBT a few weeks back but thinking of trying AMO again. Anybody on the latest SP/Framework? I'm certainly satisfied using DBT as SP works, just curious about wifi calling as I've never used it and can certainly understand reasons for it lately as I've been in the "country" a few times lately (some friends don't seem to have quality towers nearby). I'm ATT so should work I think. Also whitepages works as best as I could expect for me in the US, certainly grabs names/etc, and does a good job informing me about SPAM callers (wish there was a way for it to inform me of this while using bluetooth so I don't need to look at my phone... perhaps there's an app for this...)

For those on Tmobile/Sprint there seems to be issues from my short research (quick search, don't rely on this): don't think Tmobile will work unless using US device, for Sprint looks like they 'may' be focusing on Apple devices (again I may be incorrect, only trying to assist).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spielnicht:
I mean to say that I can't buy any gift cards within the app itself. I've tried it with a credit card and debt, no luck for me. I am able to pay at a particular store with a gift card that I've bought elsewhere and added to SPay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Sorry, still a bit confused. When you say "I can't buy any gift cards within the app itself" do you mean that you cannot purchase using Samsung Pay (with your loaded debit card)? - the mention of "within the app" is throwing me off, just want to make sure we're on the same page so to speak.

Gift card purchase using a credit card will most likely never work again (not supposed to anyway) but debit should work. Another thought - any debit card most definitely needs to be tied to a bank. Some people get paid with a "debit" card that is only tied to some random business account or such - I'm not saying this is your situation, only trying to figure this out. I also purchased a money order last week using SPay.

You mentioned that you perform full flash (csc not csc-home I'm assuming) - have you checked the csc info using ss phone info to make sure that all is flashed OK? - make sure that the csc's match? Sometime recently I noticed that not everything looked just right so took another member's suggestion and flashed to another country (sorry don't remember which) and then reflashed back to what I was aiming for.

As of now my DBT (according to SSinfo):

- Firmware DBT

- Active DBT

- Available DBT

- Country Germany/DE

Good luck, let us know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spielnicht:
Mean to say that if I go into the Samsung Pay pay and attempt to buy a gift card (e.g. Amazon) and I attempt to pay for it with a debt or credit card already in Samsung Pay (e.g. Citibank Debt Card), it fails. I've tried it with 2 other debts cards already in Samsung Pay (HSBC and a credit union) and I get the same error.

As for flashing, PhoneInfo reports "DBT" for Firmware's CSC Code and Active CSC Code. Original CSC Code and Available CSC Code are blank.

I wonder about using Samsung Pay on a custom ROM. I mean, the service isn't available yet in my country but is it possible to root the phone, flash custom recovery, then custom rom and kernel and at the end delete/disable root privileges and smoothly use Samsung Pay?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
Nope. You root your phone, you will trip KNOX. Once KNOX is tripped, samsung pay won't work even when you go back stock.

Unable to Finish Setup for Spay

I just picked up a brand new G935F and I've been trying to enable Samsung Pay and Whitepages. I flashed the DBT AP, BL, CP and CSC. Then I installed Samsung Framework and Samsung Pay but currently when I try to add a credit card to Samsung Pay, I get the error "Connection Failed, unable to connect to server". I have tried toggling secure startup but I am currently stuck and unsure what I need to do to get SPay and Whitespages working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Are you USA or in another location? Did you use CSC home or just CSC? Did you install the SP framework first or SP and then the framework? Did you check for android updates first? What version did you flash?

C'mon, gotta give more info...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Insert_here:
Okay another update. So I wiped my phone and did some debloating for battery optimization today and when I was reinstalling SPay it didn't work, but now it does.

I used the newest framework then deleted the newest app update and installed one from early Aug around the time I first posted here. That got past the video intro screen. Normally when I clicked start at the bottom it didn't work. I was able to add a card then update the app to the newest version.

It's late here now and haven't tried it yet. I'll post another update when I use it.

It worked

Hello,

I tried to used Samsung Pay since months, but I have still the problem, here the error message:

I used a Korean variant (930K) with a Chinese sim card (I'm in China). I have the same problem with a Hong Kong.

Do you have an idea of what is the problem?

Thanks.
