I just tried to use my banking apps for the first time on my brand new OnePlus 5. It's completely stock still, not rooted or anything. I have 2 banks and both of their banking apps fail to load. Also Android pay fails to work, tells me I need a network connection when I already have one. I confirmed my banking apps are still working on my HTC one m9 but I no longer have the s8 or s6 I use to use Android pay with. I tried searching on here and didn't see anyone else having these issues. Any ideas?
Is your bootloader perhaps unlocked?
Unless oneplus sends them out that way from the factory, no. But I haven't actually checked.
Did you give the apps the correct permissions?
I had the same issue with one of my Banking apps, fully stock with locked bootloader, and when opening the app it sent me to a website page stating that my software was modified.
My solution was to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root and use banking on my laptop :angel:

I guess my solution is going to be to carry my old HTC around and tether off the OnePlus when I need to check my account balance. I sure hope they fix this soon.
Have you tried Magisk hide? Every app i've tried has been spot on with that, work email, snapchat, everything really, don't use banking apps on my phone so couldn't say for sure.
I got an update last night, plus I went into app permissions and gave them every permission possible. Still no go. It says the app has encountered an unexpected problem after it tries for maybe 15 seconds to load.
Snapchat works fine. I haven't tried magisk. I wasn't going to bother rooting this phone because I like it as is.
Android Pay and my bank apps work fine on my stock, locked bootloader OP5. I'm in the US.
Seems peculiar Android Pay fails. Have you tried hard resetting?
I cleared data and uninstalled all 3 apps and I got both banking apps to work on the second try. Android pay kept telling me I needed a data connection which I already had. I realized NFC wasn't turned on so I turned that on and then it seemed to get past that part but it tells me my card isn't supported so I need to look into that with my bank.
Not sure why it didn't work the first time. It seems like I've had to reboot this phone for weird glitches a lot more than I did on my old s6. Hopefully that doesn't continue.
Update: they stopped working again. They seem to work once and then the next time you to try to log in it fails every time. Glad I still have an old HTC one m8 I can bank with. Lol. I'm not doing Android pay on a phone without a finger print sensor though.

You're stock and they're not working? Weird.
Do you have to de-authorise the banking apps to use them on another phone? My back accounts app requires that
I don't believe so. I traded the s6 on the s8 and they worked fine right away on both of those ones when I first got them. Plus I've used them interchangeably on my main phone and my backup HTC m9 quite a bit. I reinstalled them on the m9 when the OnePlus failed to work and that's how I've been getting by.
I have been having an issue with Venmo. It won't let me verify the device, this has been happening since I got the device. Now I am unlocked/rooted with Magisk hiding, and it's still not letting me verify. So strange.

Figured out my issue. I had an adblock enabled and it wouldn't let it send the code because of that. Disabled and all is well.:good::good:
I am in the UK. My OP5 is completely stock. I have Lloyds, Nationwide and Barclaycard banking apps installed and working plus Android Pay. So, it should work OK.
I am running version .8 of the OS

I believe I was on 4.5.10 before the update and now it's 4.5.11. So maybe they broke it with the .10 update? I really don't see anything else I could have done to make it not work. I've never had a problem before even on rooted phones.
OP curious what does your android pay do that it doesn't work?
Does it open or when you pay it doesn't work
I haven't tried it at a terminal yet, but I believe it's ready to work. I switched banks and my new debit card isn't compatible with Android pay even though I was lead to believe it did.
I added my one credit card and my old debit card and they seem to be ready to go now.
So my issue now is only with the banking apps, not Android pay.
My snapchat (lest safetynet) won't work at all. Tried different roms.....

So like the title says, I'm a new Nexus 6P user, and I had problems out of the gate.
I bought the device 2nd hand from a guy off craigslist, after my S6 edge started over heating after I had the screen replaced (don't buy Samsung "edge" phones, I know your careful, but on the off chance you drop it, your in a world of trouble).
I tested the phone, before I bought it, it appeared pretty much brand new, everything worked. When I got home, and hard reset it again for good measure all hell broke lose.
After a hard reset the phone wanted to update to build 19 something. After the update and a reboot, the phone app kept crashing before I could finish the setup process. The only thing I could do is factory reset it again. This appeared to clear up that problem. I did the near by device thing, and restored it from what Google could find out about my S6 edge. I wish it was more of a restore like what you can do in the iOS world, but it's better then what we had before so it's cool. I noticed that Chrome would crash everytime you tried to use it only in less I uninstalled the update. After I got the phone to the point where I wanted it, I thought I was free in the clear. When I started trying to use music apps, they all crash. Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud. Then I noticed YouTube also crashed the same way. When I tried to make a phone call, the phone app would crash too... So the phone was useless. I downloaded the SDK and the most current build which I think was 20 something. I followed a guide on here and formatted the phone reinstalling everything around build 20. The only thing this fixed was the phone issue.
I could now make phone calls without it crashing, but I was in the same boat with some applications working, and the same ones that didn't work not working. I flashed this phone 5, or 6 times, with the last time me formatting the userdata. I read that it wasn't a good idea because it could lock me to only 32GB ( I had a 64GB version), but after I did the flashing along with the usedata format, I still had 64GB of useable space, however I still had the same issue with the same types of applications crashing. I tried older builds, same issue (also the older builds all had the problem with the phone app crashing to the point that the phone wasn't usable).
I ended up sending the phone to the manufacturer, which appears to be in the same metroplex I live in. Hopefully they can find a hardware problem under warenty and fix it. I'm making this post to see if anyone else ran into similar issues, and if anyone knows if this is a hardware build issue, that was hopefully resolved.
I'm sorry to be so long winded...
Is the phone rooted and running a custom ROM?

Everything appeared to be stock, I don't know if it was rooted before, but when I was finished with it it was stock, I even locked the boot loader again (it was locked before I started flashing it)

My S4 is starting to die, so I'm getting a new phone tomorrow or the day after. I'm basically torn between the S7 and the Note 7. Problem is, root is a priority. I gather the S7 root is pretty ugly at the moment. Note7 root seems fine, though, but I'm having a hard time figuring out all the pros and cons from all the different forums there are to read. So can someone give me a quick rundown of what's lost when I do the Note7 root? Thanks!
Warranty.
Other then that you get the features of rooted phone which can be a never ending list.
I don't think it's that simple. Since you have to flash a Sprint image, people are saying a lot of important apps and features stop working, but I haven't found anybody specifically saying what it is that stops working.
You won't lose your warranty with the Sprint image method. However it's an older firmware and may have some weird bugs or apps that have compatibility issues. It will also probably never see updates.

Updates for many samsung apps will not go through. The 2 big ones that I remember are gear manager and always on display. No galaxy gear devices will work if you root.

Can't you just push the updated apks to the device?
Sent from my VK815 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Even if you push the updated apks, they still will force close probably. I tried downloading a previous samsung music apk for example, it loads but whenever you try to play music it stops freezes phone and force closes just like the current up to date version. Wish I could figure out what causes it or find a work around... I prefer to use stock music apk but been using shuttle+ pro for now for music.

Monthly security updates are increasingly important now that organized automated mass-hacking is becoming common. Samsung has finally started releasing security updates promptly. I wouldn't wan to use a phone that was extra-vulnerable to being remotely accessed and controlled.
Also, does Samsung Pay work with the current root method?
Just to list what I came across as NOT working.
1) Samsung Pay and Android Pay
2) Can't update Samsung Apps like always on display or Samsung Notes.
3) voice over LTE. (works for me but others are saying it doesn't)
4) WiFi Calling
5) Bluetooth (I use a Huawei Watch and Bluetooth in the car. If I reboot my phone it will not connect to either. I have to re-pair both but after it continues to work until I reboot or turn on power saving)
I'll add to the list if I figure out anything else but so far battery life has been amazing and the Bluetooth issue I can live with.

If it's anything like the S7 and S7E root, the engboot method will continue to work across updates.

Just got the phone a few days ago, was super excited as I was tired of using my old 2013 Moto X w/a cracked screen after my iPhone 6 stopped recognizing any SIM card (no service). But I digress....
There was an Android Pie update which I downloaded since I've heard how people enjoyed the phone more with it, plus it was still fresh so I updated. Spent the past few days tweaking things here and there, downloading my usual apps. Excited to try Google Pay via NFC as I was used to Apple Pay (which seems to have more banks supporting it, my Cash App card and my credit union card both don't work on Google Pay but they do on Apple Pay).
Tried it at a Staples earlier with a back to school rush and lines down the entire wall of the store, and it wouldn't work! With the app open or not. Had to pull out my iPhone to finish the transaction (embarassing...).
Got home, tried it again on my Square NFC/chip reader, NOTHING. Read up on how the sensor is on the bottom of the device, no go. Go to Google Pay options, says "to use Google Pay, you need to turn on NFC. Click settings, NFC isn't listed in Connected devices, nor does anything but an NFC Services show up when I search "nf" in the settings app.
I'll be highly disappointed if I can't use Google Pay on this phone. I didn't get a chance to try on Android 8.1 as I updated to Pie pretty much immediately. Help please!?

That's the same as mine (which works). For info, I'm on 9.0 (stock original, August), rooted, with adaway and an always on vpn.
Until someone else suggests another fix, I recommend an essential website fastboot reinstall of a full image. That's what I've done every time an I don't have the issues that others report.

To have to do all of this on a brand new phone (literally got this last saturday) that I already had frustrations with due to Amazon's shipping partner is even more frustrating. Not sure how to do a reinstall. Wonder if amazon or essential would send a replacement phone.
Then return it to Amazon for a replacement! You're within the return period and the longer warranty.

True, wasn't sure if it was an issue specific to this copy of the phone or a setting I inadvertently changed. Should be getting a replacement tomorrow so hopefully there aren't any issues - I'll still upgrade to Android 9 Pie if it doesn't have it already. I'll update the thread if so.
Same issue
Fwiw, I'm on a pixel 2 and have the exact same issue after the Pie update. Trying to use a Daydream headset and get the same NFC issues (says it is not enabled, not listed in Connected Devices but running). Hope there's a fix in the pipeline.
Daughter had her Note 4 replaced a few months ago, and it had just been sitting there. Earlier this week got a DJI Spark, and the flight controller requires an Android or iOS phone. Got tired of pulling the case off and on MY phone (S8+), so figured I could use hers as a WiFi-only, dedicated device.
My main concern is that I don't think we ever got the phone formally unlocked by AT&T. I've gotten around that so far just by pulling out the sim. It doesn't seem "happy" about it, but hasn't stopped me configuring the phone to do what I need so far - though it would be nice to be able to uninstall all the AT&T apps that are on there even after a full reset/wipe.
So wondering if there is:
A) Some way to unlock this old thing so I can rest easy it won't have an issue waking up one day
B) A more recent ROM and/or security updates (while it mainly will access the Drone/Receiver WiFi I presume I need to still connect to the home LAN occasionally for app updates)
C) Anything I could flash to make it less of a phone and more of a small tablet (since that's how I'll be using it)
Thanks in advance!
If you are saying the phone is locked to AT&T and you want it unlocked then see here:

Apparently no one has been able to root your device before because they cannot unlock the bootloader:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ty-att-note-4-root-knox-list-pledges-t2946770
My recommendation is to do a factory reset and use something like Package Disabler Pro app to freeze unneeded applications.

Ah... well that's too bad. I like that the phone has a replaceable battery, which makes it almost worth keeping as long as possible for that. Will try your suggestion on the other. Thanks anyway!
Hello everyone, so ive had my S8 for two and a half years now, and when my 2 year warranty ran out i decided to experiment and play around with rooting/roms. I never quite managed to ever root my phone properly, as it always soft bricked, still not sure why, but irrelevant now. Since then my phone still thinks that its rooted (even though it isnt), im pretty sure this is due to the Knox fuse being tripped. It doesnt really bother me as i can still use my phone for everything i ever need, and it gets official updates from Samsung monthly (even got One UI on time), however, the one thing i am desperately missing is the contactless payment. My question is, is there a way to maybe trick, or bypass the google root check to set up contactless payment again? I have seen people saying you can if your phone is rooted, by editing some build files, however, since i have never managed to properly root this phone, is there another way? Cheers for any info/help.
Magisk + Google pay works good
