problems setting up Samsung Pay Beta



Anyone else having these problems? I got the Samsung Pay beta link in my Gear app, it installed the app on the watch (bluetooth classic) and on my Note 4 phone, but when I try to get it to work, I've run into a wall: on the phone side, after I enter my credit card info, after it tries to confirm it, I get a notification saying "Gear not responding. Try again." (And trying again does not work.)

On the watch side, if I long press the back key to initiate Samsung Pay, I dial through the set of instructions and press the "Start using Samsung Pay now" arrow on the last screen, I get a screen saying "Access denied. An unauthorized modification has been detected. Samsung Pay Gear will be initialized."

I've done soft and hard resets, deleted and reinstalled the Gear app on the phone, no change. And I wasted a couple of hours with various branches of Samsung's support folks, mostly explaining to them stuff I knew that they didn't. Any help would be appreciated, especially if you've tried and succeeded in getting Samsung Pay Gear to work with a Note 4 phone. Thanks all.
