Lost access to Samsung Pay

[AmeriCanuck]

So I have an A20 and been using the Samsung Pay app for awhile. Well, the other night after resetting my phone, I went to download the app from both the Galaxy Store and the Play store and it says my Device is not compatible. But, the Samsung website has it on the list of compatible devices, as long as it has NFC, which mine does.

You should have no problem downloading it from apk mirror, but not sure if you'll be able to install it?

Ok, so the stats shows it's Official. I assume that's what you were referring to. I knew that it was already though as I don't root my phones, due to not knowing how and don't want to "try" and brick it.

Actually here's the code I get when it tries to go to the Galaxy Store:
(com.samsung.android.spay:2290:4002:144deb9fd022)

Don't know if it'll do anything, but you also clear cache & data for the Galaxy Store..

Ok, I'll try that and also thought of going through app route. As a last resort, I will just restore from backup

Oh, actually, I made a mistake. I cant even find it in the Galaxy or Play store through a search. Oh, and this is what I get when I follow a link from Samsung website. Anyway, I'm going to try the app route, then just restore from backup if that doesn't work. I know I could use Google Pay but I prefer Samsung Pay.

@RedDogRabbit, the apk option worked. I don't know why the others didn't. But at least it worked. I have had to do it before I believe with another device or maybe it was this one. But tha k's for reminding me of this. I'll mark this as solved.

Happy to help & glad to hear that it worked 🙂

[AmeriCanuck]

Ok, even though I marked this as solved, new problem...it wants to update to latest version(which I thought I was from apk mirror).

[RedDogRabbit]

Okay I'm just going to install it & tell you what the version number I get is from Galaxy Store.

BRB.
