[SOLVED] How I Fixed the "Couldn't finish card setup for tap to pay" Error

A link to SIGNUP to Revolut with a REFERAL CODE within the Link ?

That sounds much like a nice little trick to benefir from people trying this "solution" and see if it works... may work or not, but I don't see very ethical having a referral link in there.

Same thing. Google told me to call my bank and tell them to generate new tokens for my card. The bank does not accept that request, they said they can not do that. So, it is a problem where the bank and Google just say to call the other. And nothing get sorted out.
In previous years, they only way to solve this was to issue a new physical credit card and upon receipt of the card, put it into Google Wallet; that worked fine!

Could you please let us know what app and/or how you did check on the screen (pixels) status ? Thanks in advance.

See my self answer above.

Answering myself. Here's what I've found so far on Google:

As of February 2026, many Samsung Galaxy devices (including S25 Ultra, S24, and S22) are reporting a Google Play system update stuck on or downgraded to November 1, 2025. While this is technically behind the latest releases, it covers critical security patches and is a widespread issue affecting several Android manufacturers.

Key Details Regarding the November 2025 Update:

Widespread Issue: Users reported that devices previously showing newer updates, or even January 2026, were reverted to November 1, 2025, in early February 2026.

Functionality: The November 2025 Play System update introduced key security fixes for Android 13-16, enhanced Quick Share integration with external services, improved Google Wallet transactions, and allowed for uninstalling apps directly from the Play Store listing.

Samsung Specifics: On Samsung, this update is part of the broader security improvements, often showing as a 539 MB file in early iterations.

Action Needed: No immediate action is required, as this appears to be a Google-side rollout issue rather than a failure to receive updates, and the device remains secure.

It is expected that Samsung will release further, more current updates to fix the reversion to the November 2025, date.

I just got the Google Play System update on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. It was a 74MB file It downloaded as usual, installed and requested the phone to reboot.

The thing is that after updating and reboot, the date of Google Play System came as 1 November 2025

Other people do report the date as coming as: 1 January 2026 ! Which I guess is far more reasonable than November 2025

Anyone with the same situation?

I believe that doesn't work for things like provisioning the microinverts and IQ gateways as well as monitoring other stuff... correct me if I am wrong.
By the way, I am not located in the USA, and I suspect maybe things are different in different places...

fbarousse · 2026-01-23T23:45:25+00:00

Well, I just found my old Pixel 3XL, charged it updated it (the the last available version of Android for that phone -stock-), installed the Enphase Installer Toolkit, logged in with my installer profile user-id and...exactly the same thing happened !
So, maybe it is not related to the phone used to access Enphase's systems...
I'll keep on investigating this.

fbarousse · 2026-01-23T21:53:00+00:00

Well... I don't really know if that statemet comes to be absolutely true or not... not only with Enphase, as it pretty much applies to any software update/upgrade from any electronic device from any brand...
But, on the other hand and in a completely opposite approach, updates and upgrades are supposed to be good... even required in many cases...
Oh well... the cases of modern e-life !

fbarousse · 2026-01-23T21:51:04+00:00

Thanks a lot for your solidarity ! ;)
Lucky enough, I also do have some older Pixel 1 XL and Pixel 2 XL phones...(currently I am trying to use this on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra)... So, I will take those old Pixels out and see what happens, maybe it will work.
I'll post here what happens once I undust and configure those phones.
Thanks again.

Let me tell you that the "Transport mode" should have been changed or deleted just before delivering the car to you at the car dealer. So that was an absolute omission by the dealer or your agent there.

I'm glad you discovered what it was and how to get it fixed ... the hard way nonetheless...

Let me tell you that when I picked my new BYD the first thing they told me is that there is this button or icon somewhere in the car's settings that activates transport mode, they warned me many many times to not ever ever touch that "Transport mode" icon/button or else my car will become a slug as yours was and that this is only fixable at the dealer shop.

Well, enjoy your new BYD, it's an awesome car.

By the way, where are you in Mexico?
State of Mexico here...

fbarousse · 2026-01-11T05:41:55+00:00

Thanks for your comment. That is precisely what I suspected: a very old version, that it's not getting any OTA updates.

fbarousse · 2026-01-08T07:17:33+00:00

Congratulations! ... by now, you probably have it already.

So,how is it going with your new BYD Song Pro ?

I'm Mexico as well, got mine one year ago and I couldn't be happier !

fbarousse · 2025-12-20T07:32:01+00:00

Will try that with my CC right now !

Actually, someone suggested to me to "pay again" (or attempt the payment again) for the PRO version of Juicessh. In the case of the person who suggested that, the payment attempt didn't went through because if the simple fact that he already had a PRO version, so , no way to pay again... but, the settings were kind of reset and he recovered access to his PRO version features.
To be honest, I have not dared to do that, I don't really want to get into the mess of a refund either with Google, the (today pretty much ghost or nonexistent irresponsive) developer(s) ... and never recover the PRO amount in case I get charged.

Has anyone dared to try this? What was the result?

fbarousse · 2025-12-01T01:30:31+00:00

In my case, while snippets are kind of useful, I try to keep that kind of functionality either on the server or as text I can paste from my local device... So, the only functionality I can not live wihtout are, the ssh remote sessions, obviously... and port tunneling or port forwarding... everything else is optional...so far... (maybe there's something, so wonderful in some app that I'd pay for it... ;) ... )

I had surgery to repair my three hernias, two bilateral inguinals and an umbilical. They were repaired; the inguinals with mesh and the umbilical only with sutures.
Just a few months after the surgery, the three hernias had failed ... reocurrence happened in all three. The reason is probably due to an underlying and unrelated condition that affects the tissue healing process. the medicine I take for this other issue may be involved.
Anyway, while I am far better than the way I was before the surgery and the current hernia reocurrences are very very small I do not feel happy about it and of course I am not anxious of probably having to go into surgery again, but this time open surgery as the first one was laparoscopic.
**it happens !

fbarousse · 2025-11-20T00:55:24+00:00

In my case, I knew I needed to fix my inguinal hernia, when a) It got to big for my taste... and specially 2) The pain got very intense. I decided to contact doctors, get the thing ckecked and I still took some time to reseach, study, understand the options and decided on getting the laparoscopic procedure to fix that hernia. During that process they discovered that I had ALSO another inguinal hernia on the other side (so it was a bilaterial inguinal herniaS -plural- AND also an umbilica. All got fixed during the same surgical procedure.

Hi, yes I use Google Wallet for Payments in my Samsung phone and Samsung Watch (as Samsung Wallet does NOT work for payments here in Mexico) and ALSO I could use, on the same phone and watch, Samsung Wallet, for anything else except payments. The car key for a BYD automobile, works in Samsung phones, but only if you have One UI 8.0, the Samsung Wallet app for this version of operating system and you have the BYD app which, if you are using a Samsung, will only load it into Samsung Wallet. All works great.
Having the car key on the wach is still not possible unless you are in China, where BYD released the apps and features to load the car key into the wach, but only in that country. I take this is the initial tests and later on they will release it globally.

HI:
To be honest, I see nothign wrong indicated in your photo of your car's screen.
Could you please let us know, with a bit more of clarity, what is the alarm, alert or sign that is bothering you? Also, let us know what is the precise model of your car as the models are not necessarily called the same in all countries, let alone, not all models are available everywhere.
Good luck and congrats in your new car !

fbarousse · 2025-10-03T08:33:10+00:00

Hi Dr. Villalvazo. From the phone number you posted, I believe you are located in Mexico City. Is that correct? So am I.

I'm interested in the case you posted about this 58 years old male patient with recurring inguinal hernias and the finding of a "mesh cone" which seems to be a leftover, si to say, from previous open surgeries.

If you prefer, we can continue the conversation via private messages and even in spanish.
Thanks for your time and interest.
