Samsung Pay security and privacy
If you still think that using the payment service is not safe and scammers can somehow use it to withdraw Money, we hasten to dissuade you of this.
The fact is that there are three systems that protect personal information at once: tokenization, fingerprint verification and Samsung KNOX.
Tokenization
As soon as payment for purchases is made, the system randomly generates a token (a special digital code). At the same time, the user's personal information does not appear anywhere during the transaction.
Fingerprint transaction confirmation
This or that payment transaction cannot go through without your fingerprint. So, even if the smartphone is lost, it will be impossible for the finder to pay for purchases from someone else's smartphone.
Samsung KNOX
The security system inside the device is designed in such a way that it is able to prevent any third-party hacker attack. It continuously monitors smartphone vulnerabilities. Even if the smartphone can be infected malware, the card details will be securely encrypted inside the Samsung KNOX container.

It is not uncommon for Android users to see a message "The app is not supported on your device" in Google Play. This limitation can also be easily bypassed.
Top Causes of Application Support Error
- The device does not meet the technical requirements;
- The version of Android installed on your device is not supported by the application;
- The app is not available for your country.
Installing an app that doesn't meet requirements
If the characteristics of the device or the installed android versions, you can solve this problem by editing the file build.prop.To perform this operation on your device must be obtained (Superuser rights). Changes can only be made with these rights.
by the most in a simple way edit the build.prop file is to install and use the app Market Helper. The program will allow you to absolutely safely edit the desired file.
You can download the application to your device from the official website at the link below. You also need to allow installation from third-party sources.
After starting, you need to select your device model on which the application will be installed. After that, press the button "Activate" and we can go to the Play Market to download the desired application.
It should also be borne in mind that even after removing the restrictions, the application may work unstable or incorrectly.
Bypass restrictions in your country
Some apps may only be available in certain countries. If you still need to install the program, you can bypass this limitation. In order to deceive Google Play, there are several options. Each of them can help solve the problem, but there is no 100% guarantee.
Method 1: Using a VPN
A VPN is used to trick Google Play into believing that your device is in a different country. This solution may not work on phones with mobile communication because Google knows your real location.
For VPN usage you don't need root rights. To use a VPN, you need to download an application that allows you to work using a virtual private network. There are a lot of such applications in Google Play, you can use, for example, Super VPN.
After launching SuperVPN, press the button connect and we can go to Google Play. 
Method 2: Changing the mobile carrier ID
If your device is connected to mobile network, then Google may use this information to determine your location. To get around this situation, we use the program MarketEnabler. With it, you can replace your identifier and Google will assume that you are somewhere in Canada or the USA. Several popular networks of a number of countries in Europe and America are available for selection. The application works only with superuser (root) rights.
Separately, it is worth mentioning that before using any of the options described above, you need to clear the cache and data google apps play. You can do this by going to "Settings" devices, section "Applications" and selecting Google Play. Next, you need to forcibly stop it, as well as clear the cache and data. When you log into your Google Play account again, your location should change to the new one.
All of the above options should be performed with extreme caution and understand that you are doing them. at one's own risk. You are also responsible for unforeseen consequences.
Probably, every Android user has encountered the inability to install an application or game in the Play Store. In some cases, the error "not supported on your device" is displayed. How to get around this limitation?
First, you can try to access the Play Store through a VPN or change the country in the user profile. How to do this is written in detail on our website. If this does not help, then the problem is not in your location, but in the device model. You can climb into system files and change the name of the model.
Market Helper is an application that only works on devices with root access and changes the system ID so that instead of a less common device, the store sees a popular one that is most likely supported.
1. Download and install .
2. Open Market Helper, select device type (tablet or phone), manufacturer and model, country, mobile operator.
3. Click Activate and wait for the new settings to be applied.
4. Go to Google personal account. Nothing needs to be changed here.
5. Try installing apps that were incompatible.
To return the device to initial state, click Restore in the list available devices, and then Activate or just reboot it (Wi-Fi or data connection must be turned on).
You can also manually do what Market Helper does, namely, edit the build.prop file, adding another device to it:
1. Install file manager Root Explorer, ES Explorer or Total Commander, run, go to its settings and activate access to root directories.
2. Go to the "System" folder and find the "build.prop" file. save it backup to a safe place.
3. Open "build.prop" as a text file using the built-in text editor.
4. Change the value of the lines "ro.product.model" and "ro.product.manufacturer", for example, to "Galaxy S8" and "Samsung" - the device will pretend to be popular Samsung smartphone Galaxy S8.
5. Go to "Settings" > "Application Manager", find the Google Play Store in the list, open its details and click "Clear data" and "Clear cache".
6. Reboot your device and try installing the desired application.
Another way to install the desired game or application is to use sites where they upload APK files or third-party markets, but in this case you need to be careful, because you can pick up viruses on such resources.
You can also download the APK file yourself using the APK-DL or APK Downloader web services. In the first case, you need to open the application page in the web version of Google Play, replace play.google.com with apk-dl.com in the address bar and click on Start Download on the page that opens.
For apk downloads through APK Downloader, you need to copy the application address, go to apps.evozi.com, paste the copied address into a special field and click Generate Download Link. These services download files directly from Google Play, but you also need to be careful with them - it is quite possible that at some point they will start replacing real installation files with viruses.
