Android Pay now available in the UK

[PhoneChanger]

Android Pay is now available in the UK, the application can be downloaded from the UK Google Play store. I have downloaded and sucessfully added cards from my providers.

I do, yes.

@jonsie couldn't get it working on his Note 4 either - have you given the app permissions to use all it needs?

I'm going to try again now as the Note 4 is running marshmallow but it's not a big deal for me as there are no stores in Thailand that are set up for contactless payments so I may know if it works or not.

It seems a bit hit or miss on my Samsung Galaxy S4, whereas my contactless credit card works everywhere and I'm told Apple Pay works OK on pay terminals where my phone doesn't. As things stand it's so unreliable you couldn't rely upon it to leave your credit/debit card at home which surely defeats the whole purpose of Android Pay? Although it's good to get an instant notification of the payment on your phone when it does work.

It seems to work ok in two stores ok but I don't even try it if there's a queue behind me. The debit cards work fine in any store.

Tried in two different petrol stations for fuel in my bike so below the £30 threshold and first time didn't recognise the card details and the guy at the till said no one had got it to work not even the most manager and time it wouldn't even see the phone locked or not.
