I had an S3 and used orange quick tap a lot. I got my S4 as an orange upgrade on Friday and was told that quick tap would work, I would Just need to order a quick tap sim. When I rang the orange quick tap helpline to order a new sim today I have been told tat the S4 is not quick tap enabled.
Has anyone that has an S4 from orange been able to get a quick tap sim and activate it? if not I will be cancelling my upgrade and going back to my S3.
Thanks
multiple S4 phone versions on Orange?
What is our phone version and is there multiple versions of the S4 available on Orange UK? I ask because I have been trying to get quick tap enabled and have had the following twitter conversation with orange:
on 3 Apr you said S4 was quicktap enabled, I have upgraded + rang for a quicktap sim I have been told the S4 is not enabled is this right
3 Apr Hi, I can see this as a feature on the system. Was it helpdesk that advised you of this? Was the upgrade direct from us? Thank you.
3 Apr Upgrade through EE store. No quicktap sim. Advised by quicktap helpdesk on 150. If it is compatible can u send new sim quicktap sim please

42m What version is supported and is it possible to exchange handsets. If not can I cancel my upgrade or swap for an S3
If Quick Tap was working on your S3, then you already have the required SIM. If you've put that SIM into your S4 and it's not working, then there are probably a few compatibility issues.
Bad news for now...

This is not an issue with your SIM.
The problem is that, whilst the S4 is NFC enabled and perfectly capable of providing the QuickTap service, the app for the S4 has been written but not yet released. It has to be approved by Barclaycard, Orange/EE and Samsung.
This is really annoying and does mean that you are without the service for now but I am told that EE have every intention of bringing the service to the S4 as soon as they can. After all, the spent quite some time building this service before the Olympics and it would idiotic to let it vanish now, especially as the iPhone still lacks NFC functionality.
In the meantime, we have to suck it up or change back to the S3. I can confirm that you are able to get your credit back from Barclaycard without any fuss whatsoever. The number you need is a dedicated one for the QuickTap service. Nobody at Orange/EE seems to know it but I do. It is 08448223201. Also, if you are now on an EE contract as opposed to an Orange contract, if you call EE and express frustration at having to call 08 numbers to fix this problem, they do have a bolt-on that they can and will apply for free to allow you the first 30 minutes of any 08 call for free. I have it applied to my account. Again, their staff don't all seem to know about this so be clear that you are aware of it.
We can only hope this service lands soon, I suppose. That said, my debit card is now NFC-enabled and the advantages of QuickTap will be missed but, for me at least, in no way outweigh my pleasure at the S4 being such a thing of joy.
I hope that the above helps. Please let me know.

By the way, I know that the error message you are getting says it is SIM-related. The error message is wrong.
The problem with simply rolling it out is sofware though I am told that there is some sort of issue with running the service over a 4G network too. Not entirely sure what that would be but this will be one of things that is delaying the roll-out, I'd imagine.
Galaxy Note 3. Ported number to EE successfully but About device/Status/My phone number, displayed the old temporary number still. Just a minor annoyance!
However, I had an old LG Cookie handy so popped the SIM in to it and selected Communicate/Contacts/Information/Own Number/Click on number/Edit/Type new number/Save.
Put the SIM in Galaxy Note 3. New number now displays . Hope this is of use to someone.
Hi there, I'm just wondering if I could export the samsung imei (english samsung keyboard) of my s4 (i9500) to my note 3 dual sim (n9002)? The samsung keyboard that came with the n9002 has an extra line for additional settings and I dont like it. I like the original english samsung keyboard. I'm just wondering if it would work.
I would like to try it myself but my s4 is with my brother at work and doesnt go home until before midnight. Cant wait to know if someone else has already tried doing something similar.
Hi all,
I recently upgraded from a Note 2 to a Note 4.
Will try and explain the issue - it's only small but bugs me.
My previous sim was Orange and the new sim is EE 4G.
As this was an upgrade I was told my number would transfer to this new phone (Orange and EE are basically the same company in the UK - in fact my old Note 2 showed EE as the network carrier with the Orange sim).
My problem is when I put the new sim supplied in my new Note 4 according to the phone company the sim will take on a temp number until the transfer is complete. However when I make calls to others, my number appears correctly on their phones (same number as was in Note 2). I can no longer make calls on my Note 2 so assume the transfer has been actioned.
HOWEVER the phone is still showing the wrong (temporary?) number in About Phone > Status.
I can find no way to clear this and display the correct number.
Any ideas?!?
Mine does same too.. Im on ee but transfered my old number over but phone shows only number ee gave me
I dont think you can do anything until your provider remotly update your sim.

Thanks guys,
I received an update this morning requesting I reset phone.
After reset I now have correct number albeit the international dialling version - starts 00447 rather than 07 but that's near enough for me.
Strange how all other sims I have display normal non-international number but meh.
Mine is on o2 and shows international number as well. Guess this is how the new 4g sims work on the Note 4.
I recently switched to EE from 3 and the sim had the temporary number, so that was displayed in About Phone. I popped the card in an iPhone, edited the number and put it back on my Note.

so there's that thought I'd share .
ThanKs
the number is stored on the sim
android phones dont offer the feature to edit it for some reason
pop it in an old dumb phone
Sony Ericsson K800i etc and edit it there
then pop back in your android device
Hi I have purchased a Samsung S5 from Amazon. It has come from Hong Kong and was packaged as If it was legit.
My query though, is the fact that when I go into settings, About device...If I scroll down, just under build number it says United Arab Emirates Tra ID: followed by a load of numbers and then underneath it TRA ID it says TA: then a load of numbers .
What I would like to ask is, will I have any problems in the UK with this phone because the build number says United Arab Emirates.
Many thanks for any replies
A screen shot of the "about device" screen would of been nice.
will try and sort one out for you.
I have found out that the device is rooted and not sure whether to keep it or not as I like using sky go for the football but the app will not work with a rooted device.
Does this sound dodgy that the phone although was shrink wrapped and looks brand new was already rooted ?
Hopefully this has worked
