I live in an unsupported country (Cyprus)
I am trying to make Google pay to work, i saw a lot of people from uk come here and pay with apple pay!
I found that revolut card is supported on apple pay and on google pay but there is a catch you can add your card if you live in UK Germany etc rather that Apple pay there was support for apple pay!
I found.boon Germany alternative app but I wasn't able to transfer money from my card
is there any way to make Google pay work in my country?; or at least find an alternative app?
I am 16 and most of my friends does carry wallet but I hate using it and most of the time I forget it home with my card inside.... rather if there is an app, or make Google pay work in my country I will be able to pay with it without trying to find my wallet; is such a pain trying to find my wallet or coming home to get it because I forgot it
If your card is issued in Germany, you can use VPN to change your Google account to Germany (or just create a new account and keep both logged in on your phone), and then add that card to G Pay on your German account.
If it is bot issued in Germany, boon in the only option I've heard about.

So I rooted my phone and now running Pay's ROM 2.0. I installed MarketAccess to enable paid apps but I am hesitating on buying apps. Do i really need to input billing address to buy paid apps or using my card will do? My worry is my billing address and
Please help clarify.
Thanks in advance!
As with all online orders, you have to input your billing address in addition to your credit card details.
Don't need to worry if your billing address is a country not approved for Google Market paid apps. It doesn't affect anything.
It's not like Apple's iTunes store where you must have a US billing address to access the US store. (Btw, I've figured out a way around this, if anyone is interested!)
Thanks for clarying!
I have the H815 international model that I'm using on AT&T in the US. When I try to install themes from LG Smartworld, it tells me that my phone isn't supported and to select the right language (US). But that's not even an option in the Smartworld app. The closest I could select is UK, which is what's giving me this error. Is there any way to use Smartworld and the themes without switching the system language?
I have the same phone and I am encountering the same issue. Sucks because my wife really wants to change the theme. Hope lg fixes this problem.
I figured it out. Since my wife's account was already set to US and I was having difficulty changing regions. I Googled "lg smart world Hong Kong" . I did this because the app kept saying US region isn't supported. I also noticed there was a Hong Kong (English) selection in the app. Once I registered my personal email address through the Hong Kong website. I went back to the phone force closed the app and cleared data on it through the settings on the phone. I also went to accounts while in the phone settings (where u see your Google sync, Facebook, etc) in there is the smart world account. I removed my wife's account then went back into the app. Signed in with my account after selecting region as Hong Kong (English) and viola I was able to download themes. My wife doesn't like the fact that there is some stuff in Chinese but told her to pick her poison. Maybe someone can try UK and let me know if that works. So everything will be in English.

Ok. So using the groundwork laid down by Tibedabeeto, I managed to get the UK version to work.
This is what I did:
go into apps section - clear the data on the Smartworld app
turn off the phone, remove the back and the battery
pull your sim (i'm guessing this is only going to work on GSM phones)
put the phone back together with the sim removed
go to the smartworld app, register a new email and select "United Kingdom"
this should let you go through all the steps of registering with your email and verifying the account
once you go into the smartworld app you should be ok to download whatever you want (I didn't purchase anything however so I can't attest to how well that works since its going to show everything in euros rather than US dollars.
i haven't tried to download with my sim in place, but i suspect that since it recognized my location with the sim in but, not with the sim out, downloading with the sim in place may limit you since the app may be pulling location from the sim provider.
the uk website wanted all sorts of information like address, zip and you need to actually register a device in order to have an account. this way allows you to do things through your phone and bypass all that info.
Difference here: at the Accounts I don't have anything related with lg yet. Ok then nothing to clear out..
Still can't get it to work even though germany is a supported country. After registering a new account on the lg german country homepage and acctivating it through mail the app keeps telling me the the ID is unknown or wrong. Ok, it's a little step ahead for it doesn't tell me anymore that the service is unavailable but still I can't use it. Any further advice?
Facebook
Ok this is crazy. All of a sudden I was able to register through my facebook account. Before it wouldn't accept that either. Cool at the first glance but now I can register but as soon as I want to download something I get the "not supported country" message as writers in the stated before.. this is a really weird topic!
success
Finally, with my last email adress I made it to work. Pretty much as it was described but for germany. So it's proofed this works too. Already downloaded a free Theme which I am running right now. So go for that..
I've tried pretty much all of the above but no joy. It says these services aren't available in Ireland. Tried clearing data and force stop, shut down, remove sim, restart and ran Smart World app again trying to choose UK instead. No luck with any of it.
A bit disappointed with LG to be honest, you'd kinda expect THEIR own app would work for THEIR own customers after shelling out over €700 for their flagship phone. Hope I'm not gonna regret moving over from Samsung. Would have expected better from LG. I've sent about 3 or 4 emails to customer support but no help coming from them so far.
Oh Well, C'est la vie!

It's crazy that it'snot supported in Ireland..
It's annoying having to register again and the reason for me contacting LG was to see if there was a way without having to re-register. Unfortunately not but to confirm what is being said above....
Unfortunately, LG SmartWorld Service is not available in Ireland.
Also currently LG SmartWorld is providing English and the local language where services are available only.
Your understanding in this point would be highly appreciated.
We will deliver your precious comment to the related department in order to provide our service in your place.
As per the mobile phone's model, the country where service is available is different.

At least they try to help you out how to work around and make it available. Around here they just tell it is not and don't offer no help at all.
Hello,
I have the same issue - I am unable to download anything from the LG SmartWorld store. I live in Bulgaria.
Initially I tried to log on using facebook and google account, but I received the message that the service is not available in Bulgaria. Then I tried what I was advised by the LG support:
1. I cleared the data and cache of the application and then uninstalled it.
2. I registered new account in www.lg.com/uk
3. I downloaded LG SmartWorld through my phone by going to www.lgworld.com and then by selecting UK as region.
4. I installed the app and then once more selected UK as region.
At the moment I am still unable to download anything from the store. When I attempt to install a wallpaper I am prompted to log in and when I do with my LG UK account it says that the ID is unknown/incorrect. I also tried to recover my ID by specifying the e-mail, but the app says that the e-mail is not recognized.
Could someone please help? I feel that it is pretty absurd to pay good money for this phone and not being able to use such a simple application.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
The latest SmartWorld version (v4.6.6) allows free downloads regardless of user account. The feature is called "Device Authentication".
Using the Chinese version in the USA generally with no problems. However, I'm trying to set-up in-store payments with Google Pay and I get a message that says "Added features couldn't be set up. To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank. You can still pay with this card on Google and across other apps and sites, just like before."
- Contacted Google first. They said my bank needs to restore or reset token.
- Call the card (Chase). They have no idea what tokens are and tell me I need to set the card up with Google.
- Call Google. The lady tells me I need to reset other devices that have Google Pay. I reset both of them. No luck.
- Call the bank again. They tell me the same story.
I'm basically going in circles.
Has anyone experienced this? I also tried another card. My guess is there's some problem with this phone and Google Pay. I searched the internet but haven't really found anything. Can I get Google Pay in-store working on a Chinese Mate 20 X?

Check out the posts made by stestesteste on this subject. He reported using Google pay on his AL00 in the UK with Barclays debit card.
I was going to link it with my Gmail but it looks like it gives access to third party accounts? Sounds a little suspect...
Do you guys even use this on your phone? Doesn't seem like it's necessary, I don't care about any of the Huawei provided cloud services, at least I think I don't.....
A Huawei Id is helpful.
I get an error with the phone telling me that service is not available in my country (the United States).
Can anybody else in the US log in?

I sign into it but don't use any of the services.
I have found a nasty bug with my Pixel 6 Pro and Google Play. The bug currently makes it, so any purchases done through Google Play (including in-app purchases) don’t require authentication or biometric prompt even though both options to ask for biometric and ask to authorize every purchase enabled. They all get bypassed.
Here what I mean:
The main configuration page:
https://imgur.com/Xkw4Ssb
Purchases authentification:
https://imgur.com/BK8mzcQ
I have able to replicate that issue three times. I’ve factory reset phone and only kept the bare minimal. And every time I add my Mastercard credit card to my Google Pay, it makes it bypassing all security measures. So, my kids could take my phone and make my wallet cry. But what is strange is my debit card was added and it never did that bug. Mastercard asks to call the bank and authorize your phone. As soon as my card becomes active, the bug is back.
I’ve tried to contact Google about this issue, but I’ve had no one answering me. I don’t know what else to do. Anyone can verify, and see? Three other people confirmed the bug to me so far and they all Pixel phones (5, 4a, 6 pro). I have a video too, but I need to blur it out and I need a software for that
Phone: Pixel 6 Pro
App: Google Pay
Card: Mastercard
Good find! I hope you report it to google
I've reported it to Google Play, Google Pay, Pixel Hardware and Google general update and I've got yet a proper answer. Everyone just pass the puck asking me to do many things I've done regardless of me saying I've Factory reset without backup restore which is the shotgun approach.
I want to see if this issue is more widespread. I need more sample data. But I don't understand how it could be a problem only affecting me and not other users...

That is an entirely different problem. It can happen due to a host of reasons. Maybe your mastercard provider doesn't support Google Pay, maybe you used a VPN, maybe GPay didn't like your IP. It can sometimes be difficult to add cards to GPay. You are not rooted, are you? That makes GPay a bit more complicated.
m the card works great of course my other devices so i assume it is from the pixel

Currently with three tickets open, at Google Play, Google Pay and Google Hardware. All of them are giving me the same answer. Yet, I show video of the bug, they ignore it. I would appreciate if there were people here that can try and test this issue.
Else... I don't get how it could only affect me when my phone is factory fresh and has only a Mastercard credit card added to Google Pay.
Ticket was escalated higher, sent a bug report to Google. Awaiting more info on this bug.
If anyone here could try it on their Pixel phone, it would be appreciated.
From my findings.
Everything updated, Android 12, Google Play up to date
Google Pay with one credit card activated (in my case Mastercard)
Make a purchase of a cheap app. You can get it refund for free if it's the first time you buy it.
You will never get prompted for the authentication.
Thanks guys

Print authorisation required for me.
Pixel 6 Pro with Feb update...
disregard this message, sent without quoting or reply.
Follow-up, Google has been making me go back and forth with basic troubleshooting. I've got yet an answer to this bug. I'm trying to find more people with this same issue but seems I'm the only crazy one out here. *sigh*
To be continued!

Yes I do.
So. Google support is not doing anything and just ignoring my plea. I've end up with a RMA. Factory sealed phone. Up to date. No restore. Stock OS and only enter my card in Google Pay.
Bam. As soon as I do this. All purchases go thru without any authentication. Straight purchase.
I'm getting really tired by the lack of urgency on this matter from Google. This opens up a lot of issues for phone users with kids and also opens up a lot of room for accidental in-app purchases...
Anyway to go further with this issue ? This is insane. I can reproduce the issue everytime and all I'm getting from Google are emails saying. Hey, sync your accounts

Hit up some of the Android news sites like AndroidPolice and 9to5Google and contact the writers. I would bet they will write some articles on it.
