    How Secure is Samsung Pay

    If your information was skimmed, it was most likely skimmed from your actual card, its virtual impossible to skim the SPay signal as shown by some independent labs. Its really really hard and almost useless if even skimmed. Its actually more secure form of payment than chip cards, so rest...

    Samsung Pay is not working at Lowes

    Its a known issue. After talking to Samsung support, they said at Lowers you need to hit the retry button before attempting to pay. They don't know why, but it significantly increases your chances of having a successful payment at Lowe's.

    Who has Samsung pay working at Walmart and who doesn't?

    I've been using Samsung Pay for over a year now, and I can confidently say it works about 75% of the time. Some places, I will always get card reader errors at specific terminals so now I just avoid those terminals, but I know for a fact that it just refuses to work at certain terminals. It's...

    Google Music: Songs are synced, but playlists are empty. Sync Experiencing Problems

    I also own a Galaxy S7edge, and after a receiving a warranty replacement I'm having the same issues. I've deleted the app, even deleted and re-added my goggle account, but I still can't access any of my playlists on google play music. I can access them perfectly fine online, but I can't get them...

    Where Samsung Pay didn't work for you.

    So I think I may have solved a huge issue many people are having with Spay at retailers such as Lowes and Walmart. Beacuase many retailers have blocked NFC purchases when using Spay your device tries to pay using both methods. Since NFC is faster, the terminal will get the NFC signal first if...

    Where Samsung Pay didn't work for you.

    Does anybody actually know what "invalid card" means. I get the error once in a while, but usually either hitting the retry button or trying the payment again seems to fix the issue. I'd say its the most common error, but its usually correctable. Is the error coming from the MST not making good...

    Where Samsung Pay didn't work for you.

    The only positive, is that its all streamlined in Spay, which yesterday at CVS i realized is a convience. I actually might perfer the scanning method, as I was so surprised at how fluid and fast the process was. If MST was needed for membership, it actually might slow down the whole process. I...

    Where Samsung Pay didn't work for you.

    Is anyone else bummed out by the new Spay update. I was hoping they would make loyalty cards MST, but the new update allows you to add loyalty cards to spay, but they cannot be used via MST, rather the cashier needs to scan your phone for your loyalty card. Maybe a future update will allow it...

    Where Samsung Pay didn't work for you.

    I would love to be able to do that, but days like today make me question whether or not Samsung Pay can be counted on. I made several purchases at Lowes today, and the first two times Samsung Pay worked flawlessly. The third time, I was using a Bank of America credit card and in my first attempt...
