Hi guys,
Google just released an update of Google Wallet to the play store which makes it compatible for Sprint and US Cellular Galaxy Note II's.
I found the article here: http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/google-wallet-sprint-us-cellular/
Link to the play store to download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
I am in the UK so I will be patiently waiting for when google eventually roll out wallet here!! But for all this applies to, Have fun!!
If anyone has directions for moving from the hacked modaco google wallet to the Play store version please let me know. Having a hard time getting rid of the old version.

After a factory reset, my Samsung App Store is now missing. How can I get it back?

That is Samsung HUB not Samsung Apps. Samsung Apps came on my stock Verizon Note 3

Currently have all 3 of these stores, Google's, Sprint's, and Samsung's, available to download apps from and was wondering if they were all the same or if the Sprint and Samsung ones give special "pricing" on apps...
It's a little of everything. Some Sprint apps redirect to the standard Play Store. Some promotions are specific to the Sprint/Samsung portals and do not necessarily have the same .apk as the Play Store. Other promotions are device orientated, so no matter where you get it from, you'll receive the bonus. It's an unnecessary mess and I hope the deal with Samsung and Google does happen so the app redundancy (and bloatware) can be greatly lessened.
If you buy an app from Google play store, you will be able to use that app on every android device you own, if you buy it from Samsung or Sprint, it may not be able to be downloaded on other devices since it won't be associated with your Google account.
i got mine today and Samsung pay is not installed. i went to the google play store and it said samsung pay was not compatible with my phone? everything is stock...no root or other hacks.
Thanks.
Try Galaxy Apps
Missing
I agree I'm missing it too On my samsung galaxy s7 edge. I went to galaxy apps and it looked like it downloaded but I can't find it anywhere. I must be missing something or its hidden in a folder. I'll keep looking!
Trying to remember how I activated it on my wife's S6. I think you have to go into settings > tap & pay.
I just read that Verizon forced Samsung to remove Samsung Pay from VZW S7 and Edge. You can also side load it from APKmirror.com also.

Won't download I am trying to download/install this on my s7 edge and it has been at 43% downloaded for the past 3 hours?????

We are sorry for the inconvenience. Galaxy S7 is scheduled to be released on March 11th, and Samsung Pay service for S7 will be enabled once it is officially released.

One post said that Verizon has also removed any mention of Samsung Pay from their S7 manual.
Wow you are completely correct! Verizon just pulled that lowball move and demanded that Samsung remove it. I'm sideloading it as we speak.
Has anyone had any trouble getting past the finger print registration on samsung pay?

Had this issue on the s6, remove your fingerprints and clear cache in the fingerprint app then set it up with a pin. Once you finish the install turn on fingerprints

I had to download the apk, then install. Once I installed I was able to register my card fine.

Seems you may be correct. (Update)
"We've spoken with Samsung, and they have clarified that while Samsung Pay currently cannot be installed via the Play Store or Galaxy Apps on the Verizon model, it will be available to Verizon Galaxy S7s and S7 edges via those channels starting on March 11th, the official launch date for the phones. Samsung Pay is not pre-loaded on Verizon models, unlike some other US carriers, and Verizon does not advertise the app - and even went so far as to strip it from the user manuals of its versions of the S7 and S7 edge - but sideloading will not be necessary by the time we reach the retail launch date for the devices."

Samsung pay is live on the play store.
It works on mine!
Spoke with a Samsung rep yesterday about this. I was looking into the phone and he said that the VZW version just won't have it. He said that only Android pay would work.

another good reason to not ever call customer service! haha
Got the S7 today. Just downloaded Samsung Pay from the Playstore, installed and registered a card without a problem.

I don't have any cards that work with Samsung pay. I got all excited to get my free charger and try out the service and nothing. At least android pay works

Yep haha. I just happened to be a in Best Buy store because my friend works there and I was able to hold the phone without the security tether. Their resident "Samsung Expert" was the one who told me that. Only for me to see an article the next day about how VZW was allowing it on phones.
I was able to install Samsung Pay from the Play Store, but adding a card won't work on my Verizon S7.
I called Samsung Pay support and ran through settings, clear cache, uninstall, restart device, reinstall Pay and still won't connect to server to add any cards.
They have sent it up the chain at Samsung Support and said I should hear back within 48 hours.

Works perfectly for my Verizon S7 and Bank of America debit
I switched to Verizon from Sprint and may be regretting that decision as Verizon is blocking the Samsung 15GB of cloud access I was using on Sprint. Seems that Verizon is being the greedy company as they are forcing you to buy anything over 5GB of cloud storage. I find the Samsung cloud backs up more when it comes to phone settings then the Verizon one does. I understand all carriers put their own software on the phone but I never had a vendor block and app or feature such as that. Debating on just switching back to Sprint.
have you tried side loading?
I don't have the app installer to even try that, it is also not in the Play Store, it was something Samsung installed. If I used Quick Shortcut maker I can see it in "activities" but it won't launch properly. I think Verizon did something to prevent it from loading.

They did this on the Note 7, I think eventually a way was found. Try searching the verizon note 7 forums.
If Samsung provides free functionality on the phone that duplicates something that Verizon offers for a monthly fee - like cloud storage, for example - that Samsung free feature will be removed by Verizon.
Last year, they removed Samsung's "FindMyMobile" feature from the S7. When I inquired about why it was removed, they steered me toward their VZ Protection service - that has similar locate and wipe capabilities - for only $11.99/month.
Ever wonder how they got to be worth $200 billion?

why would they put a apk inside their store? Does this even work?
When is Samsung going to get a backbone and stand up to this bull****? Apple tells Verizon to F-Off, so should Samsung.

What advantage does the Samsung FindMyMobile have over the base Google "Android Device Manager" (which does work with my Verizon S8+)?

Did anyone figure out how to get this working on the S8? I tried the short cut method and had no success

I looked into this and I found out that FindMyMobile can turn location services on, which is useful for me as I usually leave location off unless I need it. I believe my verizon s5 had included, so somewhere along the line verizon forced it to be removed.
Anyone doing some more research into getting samsung cloud working? especially now that verizon decided it's cloud would go pay onlyand stop the free service (except for contacts)?? I found the history on the note 7, but the number of running services/processes was 3 or 4 vs just 1 on the s8 when viewing it with quickshortcutmaker...

Flash the unlocked firmware on it.
I found a way to do it. About to post a guide.
Confirmed they are blocking it. You must use VPN to bypass. :good: Bye Net Neutrality. Welcome great firewall of Trump*cough* China.
