So i tried setting up Samsung pay, went through the process of verification through fingerprint and the next screen asks to input a Samsung pin and the keyboard doesn't work and it sits there. Either i have to go back or just stop the application, i cannot do anything else. Also, my phone is not rooted and Knox also works perfectly.
G935FD Indian variant with Baseband version-G935FXXU1DQB1 and build number ending with- DQB0. Can anyone suggest something?
Issue was resolved from Samsung's side. Please delete the thread, Thank you
can you tell us how did you get the issue solved ?

It was an issue with the Samsung members app. When a new update to the members app came, it just started working again.
Just received my Galaxy S8 Dual Sim - came from Singapore. It comes with Samsung Pay but the Singapore version that doesn't support US based credit/debit cards. Any advice on how to change to US version of Samsung Pay? Is this even possible? I tried to uninstall Samsung Pay and then reinstall from Google Play Store (now using my US login and I'm on AT&T network) but it reinstalls SG variant of Samsung Pay program.
I have a Samsung Gear S3 watch and Samsung Pay installed and works fine on the watch but I gather the watch Pay program is different from the one on the phone.
Android Pay works fine so not critical for us though I like getting the points from Samsung when I use Samsung Pay.
Thanks!
If you don't mind me asking which seller did you get the FD version from? Seems mine is stuck at customs as of now sadly. I'll be looking into this as well when u receive mine

I ordered it off Amazon. The seller was NGPSTORE - have bought from them in past. Professional operation and have never had any issues with their phones.
I'm going to message you to try different things.

From what I've been told by Samsung is that Samsung pay is only available on the US model phones, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon etc.

It also comes as part of Singapore phones but is limited to adding cards based in Singapore. They've expanded Samsung pay to several countries now but it seems each has it's own local app versus a common app everyone.

Eh.
Phones sold in Qatar (and the MENA region) come with Samsung Pay UAE which is NOT a system app: ie: you can uninstall it completely.
If your phone has the same model of the MENA variant (see my signature for S8+, change to 950FD for S8), then install the UAE firmware with odin, delete the included SP UAE app, and install the US SP app.

Did this work for you Model Number is the same Build Number is NRD90M G950FXXU1AQDG. I deleted the SG app and tried to reinstall the US app V2.7.03 but it just hangs upon opening it.

Try this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-pay/samsung-pay-2-7-15-release/
When I install 2.7.03 (the most recent US apk), it just hangs at the first screen and won't move beyond the "start" button. I gave the app all permissions but it still hangs.
2.9.6 (latest version) requires a Korean SIM (no joy there). I've been reading the S7 forum and didn't find anything that worked but it's a long threat (100+ pages) - and I may have missed something important. You can't uninstall pay framework or even roll back updates (you can a device admin error) so stuck with that version. I tried installing 2.8.3 and 2.7.15 also - no joy. 2.8.3 also requires a Korean SIM and 2.7.15 starts up, tells you there is now update to download and then fails on the download

I'm on the UAE firmware, and confirmed 2.7.03 works after deleting the placeholder included in the rom.
Flash the UAE firmware (for your version) and do it.
Any idea where I can find the UAE firmware for the 950FD? I have looked and can't find it. Thanks for the suggestion - will try once i can find the FW files.
I bought the international variant as well and Samsung Pay worked out of the box for me. Strange. Dual SIM variant too.
Where did you get it from? Do you know if it originated in Singapore? I was told units that come from locations with out Samsung pay come "naked" but if it comes from a country with Samsung pay (like Singapore), it only wants to work with the Singapore version. If you are able, can you go into settings, apps, and report the version number for both Samsung pay and the Samsung pay framework? That way I can compare to mine. Thanks

Bought it off eBay. Country of origin appears to be from Vietnam but CSC is Singapore. Samsung Pay was partially pre-installed (advertisement essentially) and required full download from Galaxy Apps. Version is 2.7.15. Framework is 2.7.47
Framework 2.7.47 and App 2.7.15 is the latest for Singapore phones but the app opened fine but when i tried to add my AMEX Card (issued in the USA), I got a failure message (and the website for Samsung Pay Singapore says only AMEX cards based in SG can be added).
I happen to also have a Singapore-based AMEX card and that worked fine but that is not the card I regularly use - my regular card is the AMEX based in the US and Samsung Pay wouldn't accept that card. Curious if your did. Thanks - appreciate your sending along the details

I have an AMEX coming soon, I'll reply back on how that goes but 3 us credit companies and a us bank worked fine
The UAE firmware doesn't seem to be added to SamMobile or any other website yet :/
Thanks for letting me know. I'm still looking for the UAE firmware too. I only tried to add an AMEX card as my ATM card (a visa card) only allows one instance and I had it setup for android pay.
I got access to another phone (also from Singapore) and was able to add my BofA debit visa card without problem though it rejected one of my credit cards (like AMEX said it was not issued by a supported bank/issuer) so it would appear that some cards will work and some won't.
Having updated Samsung pay framework on my daily driver to version 2.71.51 in an attempt to get US Samsung Pay (v2.7.03) working it won't allow me uninstall the update (says the program is locked by a device administrator) to roll the framework back to 2.7.47 (which the SG phone uses) so i can reinstall Samsung pay (Singapore) from the app store (v 2.7.15). The 2.7.15 installs and opens but then keeps trying to install an update that keeps failing. If anybody has any ideas on how to rollback pay framework so I can get the Singapore version working again, I'm all ears. That said, Android Pay works fine as does Samsung pay on my gear s3 so not a dealbreaker/critical if I don't have Samsung pay on the phone working.
I know this has been asked before but i haven't been able to find a thread that matches my situation. I just bought a samsung s8 international version from UAE. I live in the US. When i first opened samsung pay stock app, it said "only available in the UAE". i tried deleting it and installing it form play store but that didn't work. Than i tried installing singapore firmware but for some reason, it said "only available in the UAE" again, even in the about phone tab in the settings, it said the device was from UAE, even after i used odin to flash singapore firmware. But even if i had been successful in flashing singapore firmware it wouldn't have helped because i realized that you wouldn't be able to use US amex cards on singapore SPay. than from reccomendations i tried installing 2.7.03 apk and that worked, i was able to open it but again, i was not able to use US AMEX which is my primary card. Also i noticed in the 2.7.03 app the rewards were all for UAE. so i think it was still a UAE app and amex is not supported in UAE. I'm kind of getting frustrated right now with samsung and why they overcomplicate SPay so much. does anyone else have any ideas?? thanks for the help
the only thing you need to install is samsung pay version 2.8.03 from apkmirror. dont touch framework.
Anybody has any idea when Galaxy S8 & S8+ SM-G950U1/G955U1 will receive OREO update?
SM-G950F and SM-G950FD got OREO a month ago.
Seriously SAMSUNG, what are you smoking?

I am waiting for update also for the G955U1.
G955U already has oreo G955USQU2CRB9
me too bro
Did anyone get it yet?
You shouldn't worry a lot about oreo. I've installed it on s7e. Nothing new. I would mich better appreciate samsung to stop smoking and unlock bootloaders rather than bringing same os just with higher number.
me too,waiting...
Oreo
I recive oreo today in my galaxy s8 plus SM-G955U1
Now with cream filling....
Just downloaded Oreo and installed. I had it set to automatically download but it didn't. I decided to check just 30 minutes ago on a whim before this post and it was there.
Yeap, downloaded and here we are. Let's see how it goes.
Do not update android Oreo on SM-G950U1!!
I'm not sure if I am the only one that happens this but after installing the last update on my Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950U1 the phone stop working and falls into an infinite bootlooping.
I had to enter into recovery screen to be able to turn off the device.
Then I tried to fix this flashing the phone with the last firmware (the same one of the last update) because I thought that there might be a problem when I was downloading the update and the phone didn't turn on, it continues with the bootloop.
The only solution I found is to download a previous version (I installed the one released on December 2017) and flash the phone with that firmware and the phone works perfect!
It is embarazing that Samsung has released another OTA that briks the phones!
Regards!
On the S8 Oreo (and prior OS) every time I update apps, which is all the time, the updating moves all app data from the SD card back to phone memory. I tested this with Samsung on the phone and they took over my phone and saw my Kindle data (400mb) was on the SD card, then updated the Kindle app and rechecked and the data had all been moved back to internal phone memory. They said an update resets all apps to default and that is normal. Uh, no spending hours a month moving data around is not normal. What is the point of having an SD card if what you put on it doesn't stay on it?
is the SM-950U unlocked for any carrier?
I have a Galaxy S8 SM-950U and using it on T-Mobile.
I tried a foreign SIM card and it said that my device can be unlocked remotely .
1) how do I unlock it?
2) How do I check the lock and unlock the bootloader
3) how I install a ROM (such as Galaxy S9 ROM (with the funny interractive avatars) ?
I got the update in mid feburary i guess
I'd rather have Nougat back, Oreo feels like a concentration camp, not very exciting one.
Hi all,
As the title suggests, any ideas what I can try to get it working? I've tried everything. Had it installed at one stage (HK version since it's an imported dual sim version) but there was no add Paypal option. Then I read that I could try deleting cache and app storage and reinstall but now it will not allow me to install update. Just states "failed to download latest version". So now I can't even open to app. Tried sideloading Samsung pay apk and Samsung pay framework and still no luck. Any chance I can get an imported phone working here in Australia?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Did you changed the firmware to another country recently (by installing via Odin)? If yes, you must do a factory reset to use the Samsung Pay.
For me was the only way to make it work. Otherwise it kept giving me this message.

No, I haven't done that yet. How's the difficultly in doing that? Odin easy to use? And there's no way avoiding factory resetting? Thanks for your reply!
PayPal is usually an app in its own right, also use Google Pay instead (I can't use Samsung Pay here in the UK) it's just as good.
And if you bought your phone from Wonda then it does warn you that Samsung Pay doesn't work outside the HK/Chinese territories.

I reckon you cannot do that anymore in a Galaxy S10+ G9750 as its only markets are Hong Kong and China.
