SturgeonGeneral Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 I am having problems with Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S9. Where on that phone model is the NFC antenna? Any tips on how to make Samsung Pay work more reliably?Look into the sales terminal credit card swipe slot and look for the magnetic card reader head inside. Put the center of the back of the phone over that point and slowly move the phone back and forth along the card slot. Sometimes a circular swirl outwards also works. Mentally note where the phone is when you have a success and use that as a starting point every time.Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgeonGeneral Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Another slow to release update. Either they're having problems again or they're adding something useful.Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk Both Sprint and Samsung should be embarrassed at how poorly the s9 has been treated since its release. VOLTE has been ignored. Many of the carrier aggregation options have been ignored. Something abnormal is going on with this phone. I will be looking at other brands when my s9 dies. The older s8 was updated much better then the newer s9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised I got it that fast, usually it's a week or two after an update is released before my unlocked phone can download it. I've been checking everyday.

Tengen31 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I was told that the S9 was getting VOLTE update.

Don't have have the money for a new phone. Only thing with the unlocked model and Sprint is that 25+41 isn't supported where the Sprint model might be. Not sure how it works with the S10 Sprint vs unlocked. For att the S9 doesn't aggregated with B14.Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
