Update Dec 17 2023: Facebook Messenger is NO LONGER accessible via web from any platform. Insane Zuck would do such a thing.

Google Wallet now supports loyalty cards, meaning the Stocard shortcut may not be relevant anymore.

Great IDEA! But seriously, you never have to pay something on credit... IN THE DARK? You lead a clean life 😂😂😂

When I've bought mine, I'll comeback here to apply these tips

[vctorbosak]

Your videos are amazingly great; I'm going to use all of your tips as soon as I get a galaxy watch.

Google Wallet is also annoying on watches. I have to open the app and scroll to my transit card each time I want to board with PRESTO. Otherwise it will send whatever payment card that's on-screen. Apple Wallet can send transit cards without having to even open the app on watchOS. Can't understand why Google can't do this either...

Was originally an android guy before I bought my iPhone12 and and now I just switched completely from iPhone 12 back to android. I bought the watch 6 and gs24+ after growing tired of how boring iPhone has become and I am on the edge of just sending this all back because things don't just seamlessly work especially the watch! when coming from the apple watch the Samsung watch feels like a toy and the UI is a mess and notifications rarely pop up on it and I feel like an idiot when on line in a store and google pay just wont work after trying 5 times I'm forced to pull out my card and this never happened with my apple watch.

Thx for this very valuable application. That said, I've noticed on my new samsung watch 6 classic that v1.0.5 apk always opens first google wallet with double tap and only with the second double tap open le flashlight in a dark envt. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I haven't found this clarification in the documentation but I might have missed it, sorry if this is the case.

Could you please review the Vivoactive 5?

[Maldditu]

Great video! The tip about animations is very useful. So, about NFC payments, is needed to open Google Wallet every time when I have to use this functionality? Even if I keep NFC always turned on?

[wildthing]

Update -- Samsung Galaxy Watch7 - I found that on the Samsung watch7: Long press Home opens S-Wallet, Double press Return opens G-Wallet. Note that I had G-Wallet set as the default payment option. Nice video.

Hi, what is the name of the Watch Face you used in this video?

[gilbertgk]

Yesterday, I rested my watch, and I noticed you can set up a Google wallet instead of Samsung Pay the first time it will ask. I am not sure if this is a software update or what, but this happened when I switched to S24 with 6.1 update.

I have loaded your app but I can not figure out how to set it to go to Stockard on double tap double tap. Mine does not do that.

Hi, love the idea but on my galaxy watch 6 it only open Google pay and not stocard, and can't find the right flashlight app. Thanks

[arkadiuszk]

A very useful application, but I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 Classic and unfortunately the Wear Flashlight application for the watch is incompatible with my device. I do not know why. It cannot be installed from the Google Play Store

Google Wallet is extremely annoying on my Galaxy Watch 5 as it will randomly prompt me to enter my unlock code (causing a failed transaction on the EMV terminal). I would much rather just be able to unlock the app ahead of time and not have it fail the transaction.

I bought galaxy watch 7 44mm green and why it doesn't come with samsung pay? I tried to search it to install that app but it doesn't show an option. I am in south korea and can you please tell me which watch can I purchase where there is samsung pay to use? Thanks :)

[StephenLewis-ms]

Too fast for me to follow. I had to rewind several times to understand how to enable developer mode but then I couldn't see how you get to the next stage. I gave up

[Gadgetonomy]

Hi, is FlashPay compatible with Wear OS 5 yet?, or plans to update it? Many thanks.

[avalor]

Sorry bro! i must be blind, but I cant seem to find the link to the 3rd party flashlight. I just transitioned from iphone this week so all of this confusing, including installing these things called APKs. (Dumb question) Do I open this youtube video via my phone so I can click the link and install it to my phone? Because I tried that and it says it doesnt support my phone S24 ultra. Thank you in advanced!
