I keep getting "Connection Error Failure to connect to server" whenever I try to add a card. My device is literally, out-of-the-box Verizon stock. I'm in the United States. I'm aware that it doesn't work on encrypted devices, but I didn't do any of that.
Has anyone gotten it to work?
Mine works. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app through a good connection.
I can't get Android pay because my card isn't compatible yet. Bother.

What type of card are you trying to add? It has to be a supported card or I think that random message will pop up. Only certain banks and credit cards are approved. I can add my debit card (supported bank) just fine but when I add my discover card (I don't believe discover is supported yet) it will give me that error.

It's not working with my Chase credit card, my discover credit card, or my American Express Credit card, all of which are on their support list and work fine in Android PAY.

That's really odd if all of them are supported then. Maybe try giving Samsung a call and see what they have to say.

It only accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. There are a list of participating banks on Samsungs website.

Can we use this to pay for goods in the UK?
if so, what software do we need on the phone. There's a few shops in my town that have a contactless payment machine so I'm wanting to try it out.
any ideas?
Also, can these be used to scan and copy a proximity card for use at work to let me in doors?
I am one of the worst for forgetting my card each day so having my ID on my phone would be useful!

I don't think so. Basically Android has the functionality to read/write NFC tags and communicate with NFC devices that expect an active NFC device, but can't communicate with NFC/RFID devices that expect an NFC/RFID tag.

The simplest way would be to super-glue your Oyster card to the back of the phone. But that would impair other NFC uses.

I paid with my Visa PayWave card today at Greggs.....the lady there had absolutely no clue what just happened, she kept telling me to insert my card even though I told her that I've got a contactless card and the payment has already been authorized(according to what was displayed on the terminal). She had no idea if that's normal/allowed so she had to ask the store manager. What an embarrassment. I can only imagine what would have happened if I tried to pay with my phone - panic in the shop? It would take me 5 minutes to explain what I did. It's nice to see contactless payments being accepted in more and more places, but in most cases the staff has no idea what is going on. I even had it in McDonald's once.

Sinbad_NI said:

I've been trying.
The registration page in My Barclaycard asks for phone number and SIM serial number. It expects a SIM serial number that is 19 digits. The number written on my T-Mobile SIM is 12 digits. I contacted T-Mobile and they gave me my full serial number - 20 digits. So now it is too long. The best they could suggest was dropping the last zero. It didn't work. So I still can't link my Barclaycard to a contactless account.
Even if I managed to do any of this, I still wouldn't have the necessary app that comes pre-installed on the Samsung Tocco Quick Tap from Orange. So I wouldn't be able to do anything with the account. Maybe it is possible to port the app from that phone onto the Nexus.
Are all Orange SIM numbers 19 digits? I guess the Barclaycard/Orange Quick Tap thing really does only work with Orange.
Ok, so received an email from the android bug tracker saying that it's going to get resolved in the next software update \o/

As I wrote extensively in another thread, I've tried it. It does not work. Google will not support this yet because the card is slightly different.

Ok, but could you please elaborate on that ? What have you actually tried, what happened, etc. etc. ?
You get a credit card with a valid address, postal code, even a phone number.
While this may all look ok while you're entering it in, when you actually go to add the funds, it says that it didn't work and asks you to try again.
There is no error code, it just asks you to do it again. I have tried it repeatedly with all manner of combinations of getting the address right etc.

I will try the usunlocked card now. I am in Europe and have an European GSM Galaxy Nexus. I have managed to install and get working all the google apps and markets with provider faking and us VPN address, without using any hacked apps. Movies market doesn't tell me my phone is rooted like it does on my Nexus One, but it tell me none of my cards are valid for movies. I haven't tried to add founds to top up on my 10$ wallet account. When the usunlocked validation process is finished I will try that as well as renting movies. Will report back.

Dude... the fourth response in this thread explicitly states that USunlocked does not work...? Or am I missing something?
I don't have a hacked wallet app. I don't think it matters much though since I think the problem lays with the type of card used. But anyway my main reason for trying this is to be able to buy music and rent movies, I hope they aren't so strict there.

Where do you live?
so after a slight freakout thinking Verizon was to blame..i got on the phone with money networks and there is in fact a problem with the prepaid card.
I noticed this when i went into my wallet app and it did the "nfc is disabled" error that gave a serious problem to my first nexus. I then reset the wallet app from its settings and went to add the card again to get a nice "prepaid is not available at this time. please try again soon"
money networks confirmed they are aware of the issue and it is being worked on......thank god i only had like 12 bucks left on the card.

not exactly a big deal about nothing...it's very straight forward to use someone's entire google prepaid balance...i think they have done the right thing and that the card should require a PIN/password/google login to be re-provisioned. I don't see why 1st time provisioning needs to be turned off though...

its something on their side.
I also made the mistake of resetting when I saw under my card it couldnt contact bank for the user id, now it wont even let me add a prepaid card ..I had $20 on mine too Im assuming we just wait it out? This essentially breaks wallet for me since I dont use citi so this is bull
we might be getting a bit closer to a re-enabling as the same initial error doesnt come up. it tries to add and then it swill say the prepaid in unavailable under the card rather than the black mini window

Did you try wiping data after the update? thats what I had to do. My card is added, but will have to test later.
Ok, got the app working on a Vodafone GSM Galaxy Nexus, added both a Visa and a Mastercard with a US address, but when I touch the Select card below the respective card, a pop-up appears: "Error Please try again.". Ideas ?
Is there a list of store to see who takes this?
Could someone pull the apk for us internationals to download? Please?
Just use Market Enabler from Play to switch to T-Mobile, then the app will become visible in Play and you can carry on from there.
As for the "Error, Please try again" when trying to set a Visa/Mastercard as Enabled ? Anyone ?
Yeah, I did a fresh install and reset within the app. Still a no go through. I'll try and wipe data within settings. I really hope I can get it working since I never got it working on the Wallet app before.

I was told by Samsung support that if your card fails to register the first time, use the retry button on the pay screen. Apparently Samsung pay will use a different method the second time. YMMV.
