Tap. Pay. UK. - Android Pay in the UK

[deko]

I would much rather keep my DPI at 460 on 6P than use this, as much as I want to use Android Pay it's not worth going back to default DPI at all.

No Barclays or Santander or Tesco bank. Shame

I scaled my dpi back to default to install the app, condensed it again after, and the app still runs. Haven't tried using it yet though.

Barclays probably won't be adding support any time soon as they want you to use their app to do it instead.

I believe it only runs the check when adding a card or making a payment, so it's possible to have it look like it's working only to then refuse payment. Though if you're condensing it then it sounds like you're on a samsung? Could be the difference as stock android doesn't have any options to change dpi without resorting to the terminal/adb. That's changing with android N though.

Yup, sorry, S7 Edge. I might try adding another card to see what happens.

S7 Edge , custom ROM , rooted , 500dpi , xposed etc etc

Added a visa debit from Lloyds in 2 mins no problem

Adding the card is fine, but actually being able to use it when paying is where root gets in the way.

There is no text option for me, just email.

I asked it to resend the email about 3 hours ago and nothing has been received.

I'm guessing this is down to your bank rather than google as my confirmation code came from my bank, maybe they have issues, my text took about 30 seconds (not that it helps)

Oh really? I need to test it out.

Had a tweet back from Barclays UK saying they will release their contactless add on for the main Barclays app in June. Obviously at present the Barclaycard app has it, but the main app will support both cards.

So not the end of the world, at least there's mobile payments via one of the apps.

Will the phone need t be unlocked to use it? Don't really want to have to unlock the phone & go into the app, just as well off using the card if it's the case

 

[unwashed potato!]

You don't have to unlock your phone to pay, merely wake it up i.e., power the screen on

you sure? seems nuts to me. i can't have contactless payments without a lock screen, but i can make a contactless payment without unlocking my phone.

Set this up on my note3 with Halifax reward card, used it twice already in Morrison's; works perfectly. Also added my match & more card to it which worked flawlessly

How do you add your match & more card?

 

[leaskovski]

Will be interesting to see the numbers on this after a year of uptime. Not sure if I want to use this or not :/

Do you need to look out for vendors who offer it as a payment method, or is it just where ever their is contactless, you are good to go?

Edit: No Barclay Card That means I don't get any cash back as I would have to use my Lloyds debit card all the time.

How do you add your match & more card?

Click the plus button to add a card, then select 'add a loyalty programme', start typing Morrisons, and select it from the drop down.

(I don't actually have a Morrisons card but this is how I added other loyalty cards and assume the one that comes up for Morrisons is correct).

When I read the Google help section on the app it says to make a payment you must "wake up and unlock the phone", so seemed to suggest you have to unlock it, but on my banks website it says:

"To make a payment under £30 you only need to wake your screen. But before you make any payment over £30 you have to unlock your phone or tablet"

Makes sense to me, for a small payment just unlock, but for a larger payment extra security.

 

[something daft already!!]

I had to unlock my phone to make a payment. This makes perfect sense as someone could steal your phone and use it to empty your wallet too. It was only a small payment.

Done, thanks man

It's a bit sad that Natwest not being on this at launch is enough to make me jump ship from them for First Direct. Well that and the customer service and sign up bonus.

Yeah hope Tesco or Santander add support soon. I believe both support Apple Pay, so presume they'll support Android too.
