Hey moneytoo, no problem at all! I did some more playing with the app and location settings on my watch last night. I suspect that location services are being exposed to the Google Pay app itself now. I was able to register my compatible bank card on my watch again, but the app crashed each time I went to use it.

I think you've done well to keep it going to this point - better than Google has! I'll just keep my eyes and ears open, and use Google Pay on my phone in the meantime! :D Thanks!

Hi, PayEnabler directs you to Playstore which requires wi-fi access, which is not available in a random shop. How do you resolve the issue without access to wi-fi?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
No connection is required as Play Store on Wear OS uses cache when paired with Android phone. This doesn't work with iOS as it always requires wifi (or other standalone connection).
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] KeithG23:
Hi, thanks for reply. So as I’m on IOS I’m basically doomed?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
I'm afraid so.

The new Android H has prevented Google Pay from working, you get a message to say it's not available in your country yet when this app tries to open it. I wish someone told me before updating. Now Pay is dead :(
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] unixmax:
Me too. After updated to Android H Google pay will tells me that it is not available in my country yet.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] loughrey101:
It's really annoying as that was the only reason I went with Wear OS over Samsung as Samsung Pay isn't supported by my bank. Now there's no real advantage to having Wear as most of the apps suck, battery sucks, and it's running a laggy processor. I don't understand why Google officially made Pay available for the phone but not the watch. I don't understand how the treat them completely different as it couldn't be a legal thing as it's just a different device. With Samsung pay, if it's available on the phone then it's automatically available on the watch.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] nihirdas@gmail.com:
I can feel your pain, I am in the same Boat. I live in Austria where Google Pay is not officially available. However, on Mobile Mate 20 Pro, I have downloaded the Pay apk and works as a charm after some initial hiccups. Then I bought TicWatch Pro to use the Google Pay on the watch, However, i am also struggling from last 3 days/nights to get this done, doesn't work Either. Things what i have tried

1) Downloaded Google Pay Wear OS APK from the Apk mirror site and installed to my watch via adb. Google Pay App appears for some time , maybe for an hour and then disappear from the app list menu. I could see my Cards in the Google Pay App but after some time the app itself is not visible, The App continues to be in the Apps info section but I cant launch the App since its disappeared from the menu. I tried installing a different version of wear OS apk but it didn't help

2) Downloaded Google Pay apk which is meant for Mobile and installed that on Watch, I could see the icon in the Menu but i cant launch

3) Used Pay Enabler, However, get the Message in the Play Store that Google Pay is not available to your country

I am still looking for the solution
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
As I don't have access to Wear OS H yet, can you confirm: Is Google Pay also hidden from list of all apps in Settings -> Storage (on Wear OS H)?

Update --------------

Just now i have installed following apk and i can see the Google Pay App on my Watch and even see the cards present there. Now as before it happened, i am expecting this App to disappear from the menu after some time or may already disappear by the time i hit the save button on this post.

adb install -r C:\Users\nkumar02\Downloads\com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel_2.72.209520801-930135962_minAPI23(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I can still see Google Pay app after 10 minutes of Watch usage, Since i can see the Google Pay app and the Cards inside it, I have just disabled the Auto Update App on Play Store of watch OS, also Put the Watch on offline mode i.e. turned off Wifi and Phone connectivity. I will get to the bed and check in Morning if the Google Pay app is still Present.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] nihirdas@gmail.com:
It was gone after 15 minutes i guess, When i went to bed after i made everything offline, The Google Pay app disappeared. I will try installing old or new version of apk again today, Will update thread if it works.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] txarlsxiii:
After restoring defaults on the watch some weird behaviour is happening. Google Pay wasn't present neither on the app drawer nor on the system app manager. Now for some reason I have the app on the app drawer but if I go to the Play Store page for Google Pay it states it's disabled. All this with latest H update.

UPDATE: Finally it works, Google Pay on Wear OS in Non Google Pay Supporting country

1) My Watch and its details

-TicWatch Pro

-Wear OS 2.3

- Google Play 15.0.9

- Android 8.0.0

2) Created a New Google account in Germany(Where Google Pay is Available), I used VPN pointing to Germany during the google account creation and watch Setup. I used Tunnelbear for VPN where you get 500MB of free data, more than enough for the setup. On my phone i also used New google account, and continued with pairing and watch setup.

3) On my Phone, i have installed latest Google Pay apk available on apkmirror, and added a Card which support Google Pay on newly created google account.

4) Once watch set up complete, First thing i did was to Disable autoupdate Apps in Watch Play Store.

5) Installed Pay Enabler v0.6 on the Watch , I could do so via Play store

6) With Help of Pay Enable, i was able to Install Google Pay on Watch and it was working afterwards. However i have noticed that Google Pay app disappears from the Apps list may be after an hour or so , but i use Pay Enabler each time to enable the Google Pay cards. And i have using this from last 4-5 days and its consistent i.e. Google Pay appears again via Pay Enabler. So, most of time i have use Pay Enabler 1 minutes before i head to Paying via Watch.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] psycop:
Great... I should have researched better.

I just bought a Fossil Explorist Gen 4 believing I could use it to pay with Google Pay as Google Pay on Smartphone is available in Denmark.

Now I realized that for some reason, Google Pay on Android Wear is not enabled in Denmark and I already updated to Wear version H where Pay Enabler is broken.

Are there any other ways of downgrading or enabling Google Pay?

Also, are there any indications on how fast Google Pay on Android Wear rolls out after a smartphone rollout? Android Pay was launched in Denmark in October 2018.

Thank you!

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DTHayakawa:
when Google pay disappears, the only thing that I have to do is to activate a VPN on a country that is officially supported and then reboot the watch and wait. soon enough Google pay reappears. then I turn the VPN off.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] psycop:
How long before it disappears again?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] DTHayakawa:
Sorry for the huge delay. Didn't see the notification. Well, I noticed that it stays until the watch connects to a wifi network. It's really annoying but it's the only way that I managed to make it work.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] yassero:
I forgot my phone in the car in the underground parking and I went to 2 stores which are at least 600 ft away from the car so there was no connection running between the watch and the phone but still I was able to use Google pay in the 2 stores and the watch had WiFi off all the time. How did that happen?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
You don't need internet connection to use Google Pay or other tokenized payment system. You only need to connect to replenish tokens.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] yassero:
True. I realized it only needs nfc to work as a credit card.

[MENTION=426237]moneytoo[/MENTION] Is there anyway we can speed up Pay Enabler? currently it takes around 13 seconds to be up and running. Is there a way to keep it running? currently it shuts down on its own after sometime I don't know why, so if I need to make a payment let's say after 10 minutes, I have to open it again in 13 seconds as it does not reside in memory.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] moneytoo:
I profiled Pay Enabler before to make sure it works as fast as possible. Enabling via Play Store is just so slow. Google Pay is just a UI for actual services inside Google Play Services so these things probably also take some time.

Enabling requires accessibility so it needs to have screen on. I'm afraid automating this would result in unneeded battery drain and obscure workarounds for turning screen on/off etc.

Plus I'm unable to test it right now. Google Pay is supposed to be disabled in my country but somehow it works and it stopped auto disabling (it's second time it happened to me, always in about 3-4 months after a wipe).
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] yassero:
So the only way is to either keep the watch display always-on or to find a way to keep Google Pay running in the background. I installed IFTTT but it did not help as there is no config to open up the app if I am in a specific location for example.

I have found this google link, please have a look as it looks like you can keep your app running in background but I am not that technical to understand how it is done.

I'm using Pay Enabler 0.6 with Huawei Watch 2 with Wear OS 2.6 and Android 8.0.0 and app won't automatically enable Google Pay. I have to always enable it by tapping on it. I have enabled Pay Enabler in Accessibility settings. Do you know what might be the problem?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] yassero:
I'm having the same issue in the past 3 weeks although I have not done any updates to the OS. I am running the same exact version as yours. For some reason, accessibility is not doing its usual job. [MENTION=426237]moneytoo[/MENTION] are you able to advise?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] csritian:
Hi ! Only want to share my experience: When it disapears I only restart the watch and it shows up again. Hope it works in the future too

Hi guys.

Can anyone tell me how to naked watch to accept fake gps to be able to pay in other countries?

I have tried with rooted phone and watch:

1. Fake gps on phone

2. Forbit wear os on phone and watch to access position + fake GPS

3. I tried several mockation gps app in watch, some they work but no one makes GPay to work on watch + forbit gps from watch. Of course mockation allowed in developer option

4. Set up different address under Google pay account (like payment abroad of Germany people)

Any idea how to make it? Ch.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Humpie:
For me it works if I enable a USA vpn on my phone, reboot my watch and use pay enabler. As long as my watch doesn't connect to wifi or reboots it keeps on working.

Maybe there is a VPN app for Wear OS? I don't think fake GPS is necessary.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Humpie:
So... I made an app. You can connect your watch to a proxy server with it, enabling Google Pay in unsupported countries. It can start on boot so you never have to worry about enabling Google pay again! (Well, unless the proxy server you use stops working that is). Check it out here:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-enable-google-pay-unsupported-t3980625
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] ChesterXDA:
Hi.

I tried new Proxy server app and it doesn't work because the phone "watch" has modified system, so I made root with Magisk and tried to hide root to fix it...but I cannot see Google Pay in Magisk manager so I got to the same result "we cannot add your card because your phone is modified..."

I wonder how to recover to the factory with locked bootloader but I have no original partitions including recovery image :(((
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Humpie:
For Android phones there is a fix with magisk for Google pay, the "GPay SQlite fix" module. Check if that works for you!

Pay Enabler app problem

Hi , I have LG watch Sport Android version 8.0.0 (Oreo). I install your apk on my watch and when open app got message "This item isnt avilable in your country".

I live in Serbia and have installed Google pay with master card.

Everything can be seen on screenshoot down.

Any solution for fix that problem.

Thanks
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Humpie:
You can try my app, permanent proxy. If that doesn't work

you can try to create a Google account using a US VPN and use that to download the app.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] csritian:
Hi guys I come back with this solution which worked for me, as pay enabler doesnt fix it these days anymore. So for this, my fix was to set another account for the watch, on which I ve set the first pay method to Germany. You need kind of a new account which did not have any payment method set until then. And then suddenly I could enable Google pay on the watch. Have fun!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] poeliev:
I can confirm this (set country in payment profile in Google Pay account to a country where Google Pay on Wear OS is supported) works for me as well, even on System Version H! Still quite frequently Google Pay is disabled, but running Pay Enabler enables it again.

The only issue for now is that I have to press the 'enable'-button myself. This is because, when Pay Enabler was developed, in the Playstore the term 'Inschakelen' was used as the Dutch (nl) translation for 'Enable'. Now 'Aanzetten' is used as the Dutch translation, so Pay Enabler doesn't 'see' the button. Would it be possible to edit this in the Pay Enabler app and publish a new version?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sanderh:
Hi,

I have a Samsung S21 Plus and just bought a Samsung Watch 4 Classic. I bought NordVPN and put NordVPN on a country which supports Google Pay (tried US, Spain, Germany and France). However, when I go to the NFC settings on my Watch it says "No payments-apps installed". Google Pay is installed on my S21 and works perfect (native on the phone). I tried to restart the phone but this does not help. Also disabled LOCATION and WIFI and the same notifiction under NFC settings on the Watch: "No payment-apps installed".

What could I be doing wrong?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Humpie:
Wear OS 3 handles Google Pay differently. We'll need to figure out a new way to enable Google Pay for the newer watches
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sanderh:
So at this moment no one with a Watch 4 can use Google Pay?

How comes that it works perfect on my phone? It is the same NFC chip in the GW4 right?

EDIT: here is another thought:

Reset both my Samsung S21 and GW4 and FIRST thing to do is install NordVPN and put it on a Wearable Google Pay supported country. This way the phone and watch thinks for sure it is physically in a Google Pay Wearable supported country right? Or am I thinking too simple?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Humpie:
Everyone in a supported country can https://support.google.com/pay/answ...ckets-and-boarding-passes,buy-google-products
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] sanderh:
Ok, so what about my thought to wipe both a phone and GW4 to factory and before installing all things immediately install NordVPN and put it on a Google Pay Wearable supported country and go from there on? This way both the phone and watch "think" they are located in that country?

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] GentlemanGale:
Edit: I wanted to link this to the main Optimus L9 Security Error thread but didn't know how, any mod is welcome to do that for me ^_^

Hello XDA!

I recently acquired a LG Optimus L9 MS769 from my sister to use temporarily until I can get a new phone. Before bringing it to me, she tried swapping SIM cards with my mother's to see if that would work (without doing a reset first), which caused it to boot with that infamous Security Error screen. I have tried following just about every thread that I can understand in search of a solution, however I'm sort of stuck due to my limited knowledge in the all-things-android field. Also, I am aware that this sub-forum is for the P76x models, so sorry if I'm asking for help in the wrong spot.

I started with the most obvious suggestion, which was to try using the LG Mobile Support tool with my phone in S/W mode, with hopes of gaining access to perform a hard reset (hopefully that is the correct terminology). Within the driver selection window on the LG Mobile Support tool, there are three separate drivers for the USA MetroPCS model MS769. I tried running to tool with each of them one at a time, with the same result each time. Sometimes my phone would sit in S/W mode and the tool wouldn't detect a connection, so I would try from the beginning again. When I get it right, the support tool detects my phone, but says first that it is fully up to date with version V10F, then once it fully connects the tool tells me "Only wireless upgrades are supported on this phone." I even tried again using a fresh Mobile Support Tool and drivers straight from LG's support website.

Now, there are plenty of guides out there that explain in the most basic ways imaginable for how to flash stock firmware on my device, but all of them that I have read assume I have access to the device in the first place. There were never any alterations done to the ROM so I presume version V10F was the last OTA update MetroPCS sent the Optimus L9. My goal is to have an accessible device that I can hopefully install my own MetroPCS SIM-card in to, converting it into a working phone. So, I don't really mind if you tell me the only way I'm going to unbrick this thing is by loading CWM or CyanogenMod or w/e. I have no preference over a stock ROM or a custom one. As long as it won't re-lock itself when I insert my old SIM I'm in the clear.

Any help, links, comments, or hand-holding through this process will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your time,

Gale :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticyclic:
So the phone manufacturer has provided kernel source and lets assume that it compiles and deploys fine.

What are the steps to upgrade the kernel to a newer version?

Lots of threads that I read suggest looking for another kernel that is based on a similar device and using that.

However, what happens if there is no similar device?

What steps do you take to upgrade a kernel in this case?

Would I just find the equivalent base in the android kernel source and git diff and patch each commit until I got to the version I wanted then try to fix any compile errors?

I can't seem to find a thread with the actual fine details of the kernel upgrade process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticyclic:
I didn't get round to upgrading my kernel.
