So, I got my Galaxy S8 a few days ago, from Vodafone Hungary. It does not have Samsung Pay by default, and it isn't available from the Galaxy Apps store either.
I tried sideloading it, to no avail, as it says it's not able to connect.
I understand that Samsung Pay has not launched in Hungary yet, but I do have accounts and supposedly supported cards from both UK and US. Do I really need to switch to a different CSC to make it work? Or even that won't help, and Samsung Pay is geo-locked?

Hi,
I have the Galaxy S4 I9500 version, the snapdragon variant is not available for my region. Google now has launched the Google S4 - which I may be able to get since a friend of mine is coming over from the US. Cost is not an issue since I will sell the I9500 if I go for the Google version - both cost the same for me (we don't have carrier discounted versions in India)
I believe the Snapdragon is a wee bit faster than the octa-core, hopefully the Google edition will be more faster as it is devoid of bloatware.
My questions are:
Since it is a US device - unlike iphone the warranty will not work internationally?
Will the phone be blocked for only US sim-cards or something like that? If I use it in India / Europe and East Asia I am hoping it will work and not need any special code to be entered unlike the carrier locked versions
Anything else I need to be aware of before buying this?
Please respond and thanks in advance for your help - Your inputs will guide my decision in going for the Google version.
I would choose the snapdragon one due to better support, it should be unlocked if its not brought from a mobile carrier,warranty should be international, I'm thinking about one but my nexus4 has been alright so far so I'm going through these threads

1. The warranty would not be there in India. as The Phone has not launched in india thats why.
2. No,It woudl not be blocked for US carriers as the phone is a Non Contarct Based Phoen so you dont even need to unlock it to work in india ( however plz check the Base banmd that it supports and if that baseband works in india it woudl work for sure in india )
3. I personally Think u should not go for it as warranty would not be there. There woudl be ports or rom available for I9500 only.
Hi.
I'm based in Sydney Australia
Purchased a dual sim S7 edge (SM-G935FD) off eBay and has been working a treat for several months.
Have started receiving emails from Samsung Australia that Samsung Pay is rolling out but my edge doesn't have the Samsung Pay App.
Checking with Samsung help they identified (via my phones serial number) my unit is from the UAE and Samsung Pay is not part of the default software installation.
Can I change the rom on my unit so that I can get Samsung Pay and remain operational with everything else?
If so, anyone who can assist or point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hi - I had bought a Samsung G955FD from Kogan but when I installed Samsung Pay, actually even when I started the phone everything was in Korean. I set the language to English then i could get it to work.
But the problem is Samsung Pay is in Korean and I am missing out on the US Samsung Pay offers.
My Baseband G955FXXU1AQJ1
Any thoughts on how I get this phone to be on the T-mobile USA band or such so I can get Samsung Pay offers available in the US
Thanks!
hoping someone can help me out here

are you able to load US cards onto the korean version of samsung pay...? I don't think that's possible. Koreans make sure that foreigner's cant use their services...
First of all I want to clarify that I am new to this, so I would be very helpful to help me understand this world, I am from Mexico, let's begin.
Good companions I previously had a galaxy s7 model SM-G930T, the device was with the T-mobile company that is from the USA but it was unlocked so I could use it normally in my country, the device had its T-mobile bloatware so that everything normal, well I decided to use samsung pay on that mobile, practically everything worked perfectly, then I sold that phone and bought what I now have that is a galaxy s8 model SM-G950U1 out there I have informed that it is an unlocked mobile from United States with CSC XAA, I find that I can not use samsung pay, when wanting to make a temporary transaction of my card to activate it does not do it, the truth is confusing to me as if I could use sPay with the s7 and now with the s8 No, if both were from the USA, they could help me. :crying:
I am very new in this of Roms of other countries, csc, etc ...
Thanks for your attention.

By the way Im using s10+ exynos rooted with google pay
The phone is not rooted, and google pay works fine. I was just wondering if there is any way I can get Samsung pay to work instead by changing the csc. Thanks
