Samsung pay on watch

[me23brown]

No you don't need to set anything up, it sends both at the same time so its just a matter of where you hold the watch and which works at the terminal.

Is MST suppose to show up as a connection type or does it have to be enabled somewhere on the watch?

I've paid for items using Samsung pay but in afterthought it may have been using nfc vs MST.

Thanks

It just happens... It sends both at the same time, no settings or configuration

Well I just attempted to use Samsung Pay the first time and it was a disaster. I went into the self checkout line at our local grocery store (Giant Eagle). The terminal accepted the payment (but my watch kept vibrating telling me to hold it near terminal the entire time). It then declined. I tried a 2nd time, same thing. I thought it might be the store. I had to pick up some liquor for a Christmas Party, so I went to the state store, same exact thing. The gentleman said the error said "Unable to Validate". I use PNC which is a fairly large bank in the East. I use Google Pay all the time on my phone, no issues.

Who should I call about this? PNC or Samsung?

Might be just that store. Try it again somewhere else. Not all terminals will work. 8 of 10 is average or 9 of 10 will work if you're lucky. If that doesn't work, delete the card, wait about 12 hours then add it again. Don't open the Gear Samsung Pay app again. There's a bug that will sometimes unregister your card when you open the app.

I have the Gear S3 Frontier LTE version from AT&T and I have a question about Samsung Pay on the watch. Can I use Samsung Pay on the watch when the watch is paired/connected to my Samsung Galaxy S7? Can I use Samsung Pay on the watch when the watch is disconnected from my Samsung Galaxy S7 and is in standalone mode?

When paired, yes.
When in standalone, yes. Up to either 5 or 10 times before you need to pair it to get it to work again (I've seen both numbers.. Obviously use the 5 of you're unsure.. Will have to check whether Samsung has updated their site with info).

Thanks man!!! I appreciate it. If I'm out somewhere can I make and receive phone calls when the watch is paired/connected to my phone? If I'm out somewhere can I make and receive phone calls when the watch is disconnected from my phone and in standalone mode?

My watch is 1 for 3 on using Samsung Pay. Worked at a Starbucks, but then failed twice at another Starbucks and also at a men's wearhouse. Hmmm. Maybe I'm not holding it to the card reader long enough? I don't know. I realize there are some terminals it won't work at but I'm sad that I'm batting 1 for 3 so far.

So far Samsung Pay on my Gear S3 Classic has been 100% success rate - McDonald's, El Pollo Loco, Nordstrom, TJ Maxx, CVS, Costco, Smart & Final, Target, Walmart, Daiso, Paris Baguette, & Arirang & H-Mart supermarkets.

Have you tried Wendy's or Burger King? I went to Wendy's tonight and was going to try it but then this guy and girl came up in line behind me and I didn't want to look stupid so I didn't try it and just used my card

I'm stupid looking anyways! I try everywhere I can reach the terminal.

 

[daves221]

I try everywhere I can reach the terminal.

Absolutely the way to go.. Rewards on every purchase.. Just be sure to activate it in Samsung pay so that you get the points.. (it's either Samsung pay or the store app (Starbucks etc) so everything gets a reward)

Absolutely, you can make and receive calls when not connected to your phone. It automatically switches to your LTE network, when not connected to your phone through your watch's phone number. If you want to also receive calls from your phone's number, you must forward them from your phone to your watch.

I tried that but it didn't work. I disconnected the watch from my phone and put it in standalone mode. I had my friend call me and when he called me the call showed up on my phone and not the watch. Am I doing something wrong?

In your phone Settings, can you choose Call Forwarding? If so, can you designate the forwarding number? Use the number assigned to your watch by your carrier.

You have to hold it there until it registers, usual a couple of seconds.

No I can't. There is no call forwarding option. I think that's because of NumberSync. I don't think I can designate the forwarding number. My watch has a Gear phone number though.

From the comments I've seen, you might be able to use Number Sync. But I'm not sure.

I'm using NumberSync right now. I went to the AT&T store earlier and there were about 6 employees in the store. I had about 5 of them come over to my table to figure out the issue. None of them could figure it out. They connected the watch remotely and tried turning NumberSync on and off but that didn't fix the issue. They tried turning Bluetooth on and off but that didn't fix the issue. The manager tried calling my phone from his phone and the call showed up on my phone but not the watch. They thought that maybe you had to be far away from the phone so the manager took his phone and went to a different part of the mall and called my phone but apparently the call didn't show up on the watch. They tried everything they could think of but nothing worked. Finally they called tech support and they did what tech support told them to do but nothing worked. They told me that tech support would report this and they would talk to the higher ups and supposedly I'm supposed to get a call within 5 days. My guess is that if they still can't figure this out they'll either have me send the watch somewhere so they can fix it or they'll have me send the watch back and they'll replace it with a new one.

I used mine at McDonald's and the cashier was like "whoa George Jetson how did you do that".

I would love to get in on this as well but for some reason you can't use Samsung Pay Rewards or Promotions when using the watch and Samsung Pay with a non Samsung phone

However, I did have a Dunkin Donuts girl freak out and start spinning and screaming when I paid with the watch lol

That's the thing I hate about new tech. I want convenience... Not comments.
