I went to use Samsung Pay and noticed it did not show up at the bottom of the home screen, so went into programs to open it. I got a message saying I needed to update it to continue, but when I tried, got a message saying it was not available. Obviously, blocked on the N7. I'm actually sorry I tried to update, as anything Samsung is risky under the circumstances. I really liked SP, but guess I'll switch over to Android Pay. Any ideas?
Google the apk
Just Google samsung pay apk along with what ever new version of samsung pay you need to update to. Use your phone for the search because you can just down load the updated version directly onto your phone. Once downloaded just find it on your phone and click on it to open it up and follow the directions. It's pretty easy and should get you up and running in about 10 mins or less. I've done it a couple times on my Note 7

Thanks! I'll check that out. I'm always a little reluctant to sideload apps that involve financial stuff. But I'm also reluctant to load anything Samsung now in case they include some kind of kill switch.

Everytime I run Samsung Apps it asks me to install Samsung Push Service and Samsung Ad Service.
Does anybody know what these are?
Seems like annoying bloatware to me so I click cancel but it's starting to get annoying as it pops up every time!
Is there a way to stop this coming up everytime?
Thank you
You can't stop it... Worse, in the latest Samsung Apps update, it'll be automatically installed without your concern and will constantly pushing ads to your phone, make the phone hot and battery drain fast... I removed the Samsung Apps (and its companion SamsungUNA) after that...
How irritating!
I'm pretty sure I have the latest version installed as when I ran it it said I needed to update and I did. But it doesn't auto install these for me....?
It just pops up every time I open it asking me to install them.
Maybe someone could mod it so we only get Samsung Apps an not the crap that comes with it.........please....... lol
It would be a shame to have to uninstall it because you can actually get some top premium priced games for free, which is the only reason I use it.
SO Android Pay is out, and since we lost ISIS/SoftCard we have been without Tap and Pay. It says that Android pay should work on any NFC Android phone KitKat or above. I installed the app and made sure I have the latest Google Services, which I do, but I keep getting an Android Pay Unavailable error when I try to run it. Has Anyone had any luck. I have a Note 3 with stock Deoxed Rom Rooted and Xposed.
Link to Pay
Link to Services 8.1.13 - 238
Same issue for me. Actually found services 8.1.14(238) and get same issue and am stock. I have unlocked the BL in the past though if that becomes info we need to see to understand this. Would be curious what luck a 100% stock and never messed sorta T-Mo person would have.

It won't work on a rooted system. It also won't work if xposed is installed...even with root cloak. I think you have to be 100% stock unrooted and odexed. I really hope I'm wrong here, but that seems to be the case.

I am 100% stock and get Samsung updates and the like. I had rommed prior and so had unlocked the BL, but am now 100% stock again other than the BL security flag that knows I once had BL unlocked. Getting this same exact message.
I have to assume this fist release of Pay has yet to address the missing tap to pay sorta NFC stuff on our T-Mo Note 3's and is basically won't load on our devices as it knows it won't work. Probably why none of us have seen Wallet upgrade to Pay in the Play Store just yet or got the services 8 upgrade without doing it manually. They probably need updated still to make our devices work.
The SM-N900T never had a locked bootloader. You may be referring to the knox flag, which shouldn't matter.

Yeah...meant the Knox flag...other than tripping that awhileven back I am 100% stock again...recovery and all. Never realized the BL was always unlocked on this. I have just tried Google Services 8.1.15 and still the same error.....seems the base Pay app is still not compatible with all NFC capable hardware yet probably. I'm sure this is why I can load the new wallet app from Play, but still don't see the Pay upgrade to the old one.
New Pay app and still no luck...same Pay Unavailable error. This build of Pay may have added support for some devices other than ours though...
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-pay/android-pay-1-0-103131485-android-apk-download/
3rd play build still no good....the Play Store page for Pay now shows up and old Wallet is gone. The Pay page says my device is not compatible....so the NFC nonsense must will be an issue...so annoying they can't get this working.
Then they shouldn't say that it will work on any device with 4.4.4 and above with nfc because that is clearly a lie
Yeah....seemingly they should have said "Our goal is to" rather than it "It will" as if it would be good to go for everyone out of the gate.
Note 3 will not support android pay, ever...or samsung pay?
This is something I have researched for a while. It appears that the note 3 was built with an NFC not capable of host card emulation, which google wallet and now android pay depends upon. The work around I am hoping for is to pair a gear s2 with my note 3 and get samsung pay loaded somehow, so I can tap and pay with the watch. I was linked to a page by AT&T support that listed the note 3 as a non supported device on Google's android pay site.
It's been a while since I've gotten a new phone.
I just bought a brand new, stock, unlocked Galaxy S3 i747 (yes, S3). As I was going through the setup screens, it asked if I agreed to let Google Services push and install updates on my phone.
Since I can't seem to move past that screen without agreeing, it looks like I have no option but to agree if I want to use my phone. Is that true? In order to use my phone I have to agree to let Google modify and put stuff on my phone without any further authorization from me?
I've stopped at that screen hoping someone here might show me an alternative.
(I won't be rooting my phone as I think that would quickly take me beyond my technical abilities.)
Thanks... I'd appreciate your help!
why dose android pay pop up everytime i use android beam is there a way to disable it some times I can't even beam what I want because the stupid thing just keeps popping up
My phone's rooted as well so I can't use it
I know that you cannot use Android Pay if you have a rooted device. The application does not allow it and you will have to unroot and perform a Data Factory Reset in order to use Android Pay. Your phone does daily scans to detect if it is rooted and Android Pay picks up on this.

Yup with titanium back up there was still a pop up asking me to set it up
Reviving an old thread....
I've got this problem, and this thread is the best Google result I've found. I don't have android pay installed, but every time I try to pay using a bank app, I get a pop up telling me to install android pay, so can't use the app.
The most frustrating part is I solved this once before, but I had to do a factory reset and I can't remember how I fixed it. ?
Any suggestions?
TIA
Edit it's a ZTE phone, but the same problem described here.

should be around the same location for you but under settings->wireless&network->Tap & pay, if you set use default as "except when another payment app is open
it might help fix the issue.
other note is, just install suhide and call it a day

That was it. Unfortunately I didn't get my email notification that you had replied, so finally solved it on my own, and just came back here to reply in case it happened to me a 3rd time, google would give me answer.
But thanks. When I found it I felt so stupid.
And it turns out I have 3 different apps that all are contactless-ready. Who knew?
Edit: It's actually Settings->Device->Tap and pay, but your instructions would have led me to it.
Edit 2: Ironically, the phone has just - I think - died of the problem that drove me to do the previous factory reset
I have been using Samsung Pay with with my Gear S3 for months and really became spoiled.
This week, a few days ago Samsung pay told me I had to run an update on my phone. After allowing unknown sources in Andr 7.1.2, it downloads, then comes to a Samsung screen with "Cancel" "Install" both look enabled.
When you press Install, nothing :crying:, hour or so later, trying diff things, nothing. For now I can no longer use Samsung Pay. Oh yea the "Cancel" link/button works just fine!
Really bummed!
=====
I am guessing it maybe the new "External Sources" feature ... ug.. it does not display or think that Samsung pay is an external source!
Just a guess, but explains why the "Install" link/button looks enabled... but does not work...
Are you rooted? Because the new Samsung Pay update doesn't allow root on your phone. I get the same kind of thing you are describing. Trying to find a workaround, but no luck yet.

Thx for the reply.
No, it took several attempts of uninstalling of "Samsung Pay" S-PAY , rebooting and finally I was able to get S-PAY to install from scratch. Of course I lost my Credit Cards that were validated, but that is a minor problem.
Not sure what was going on, never got any type of "External Sources" warning, etc... For what ever reason this update from Samsung did not go in easy on my Pixel XL...
Rooted Phones
============
You may have seen this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-pay-with-root/..
If not hope it helps. Basically I read somewhere else, you have to hide root when using Pay, then unhide... Ect... Sounds like a pain..
