Hi,
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy Watch in Korea, to use in France, because I'll have the opportunity to buy it for much cheaper over there.
I've read in forums about older Samsung watches that Samsung Pay might be region-locked. Is it true for the Galaxy Watch too? Is there a way to hack it to change the region, and change a Korean watch to a European one?
I think it is eloisant. I have a chinese version bought from Todydeals online and samsung pay is missing. When I press in the back button nothing happens and in settings is says there is no payment softwear installed. Please could someone give me instructions for how to change it to UK version if this is the fix. Cheers
no samsung pay on US version
i have model SM-R820 and haven't been able to find the samsung pay app. I have tried a few things, like updating OS, resetting the phone, but no luck getting app on my Galaxy Active 2 watch. Any ideas?

Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.
I am purchasing a Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm SM-R820 from overseas, but I am expecting Samsung pay will not work in Australia.
If I wish to change the country to Australia, what is the process? Do I need to download a new firmware?
Some years ago I successfully changed countries on my Gear 3 from German to Australian, but if I remember correctly, I downloaded Australian firmware..
Any comments would help
cheers

Hi Craig, I did the same thing as you and had no idea about watch regions. I managed to switch to Australia region by configuring the firmware. Check this video guide out

Note NetOdin was not able to detect my device even though I was connected to it hotspot in download mode. I used another laptop and it worked. I had enabled 'public network access' on the firewall for NetOdin on both laptops.
Samsung Pay and offline Spotify playlists now work.
I hope this helps.

I need that too, but when I try to install it says is not available in my country.
Hi, maybe it's because of your CSC ?
Is Samsung Pay available on your country? If yes, what's your Watch's CSC ?
I also bought one from Germany and change the CSC to make Samsung Pay working in France (CSC XEF instead of DBT).
I followed this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324
Hello i changed my Samsung Active 2 region on Korea. The change was fine and I just got updated to Vomax and ECG. But I dont have Samsung Pay app in the watch or the possibility of installing Samsung Pay in Samsung Wearable.i tryed to install Plug In from Google Play But I can't install it because of SIM card (registered in the country where Samsung Pay isnt supported). Does anyone know how to install Samsung Pay?

Hi, Samsung Pay is a feature available on the watch so there's no need to install it. And with Samsung's policy, Samsung Pay is only activated in certain countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, ... but there is no Korea even though Samsung is in Korea. I also moved CSC to Korea to receive tizen 4.0.0.8 for the LTE version and ECG worked, besides there is no Samsung Pay. So if you want to have SS Pay, you will need to change CSC to a country with SS Pay enabled
I have a Galaxy Watch 46mm made in Vietnam. I suspect that the CSC is preventing me from installing and using Samsung Pay on it. Anyone have the files need to flash it and set to Australia?

answer of my question from other topic may be close to you
Hi guys, after being some time without Galaxy Watch 46mm I purchased it again and my question is - is there a possibility to change the CSC region and to use Samsung Pay safely? I am asking this question because I know that previously that was OK, but after some updates it was not possible anymore. So is it possible now? and if yes is there any new and/or updated guidance? I will much appreciate your help. Thank you!
Hello! I just got a Samsung Active (1) watch for my birthday, but it seems that I can not use samsung pay because of the region. So what should I do? Should I try to change it myself or should I bring it to a Samsung store? Thanks!
