Google Wallet not working? Call them and complain!!!!!

**corvette72778** · 06-30-2012, 11:12 PM

I'm getting a little pissed off that Google Wallet isn't working. Its (NFC paypass) one of the reasons I upgraded. I called a little angry today and I hope a lot of people do call to let them know their frustrations.

If Gmail went down it would be working in less than 2 hours if not minutes. Its terrible that they are taking this long to fix GW.

It's not working for either root or unrooted. Google straight disabled it.

Awoke today to see an update for wallet! Woohoo. Now the wording on my "not supported" message is a little different.

seconded. everyone should atleast call once.

I'm being patient with some of these issues with the phone but locking up peoples money like this is the boo.

Updated Link For Wallet Fix, Now includes Odexed!
If you are rooted, here is a zip for the google wallet to fix it.
I did it and I'm good to go, worked on my kid's EVO as well.

Update: If you allow wallet to update in the market, it stops working. Uninstall updates and do not allow auto updates in market and you will be fine.

**Shadnic** · 07-01-2012, 12:19 PM

The fix looks great, but can you "never" install updates? As in, later down the road when google adds more features (assuming they get it working officially for the evo)

**SPRTUSR** · 07-01-2012, 02:07 PM

This has been really annoying, I think they should give evo users a $25 credit instead of $10 when they finally get it up and running.

**aviatordoc** · 07-01-2012, 02:10 PM

So the above link is not working, just like wallet.

Didn't one of the first Google wallet supporting phones on sprint (I want to say the galaxy nexus) come with a $50 credit for new users? I'd love for that to come back, haha

Try one.

It is not just the EVO 4G LTE, it is happening to the SGIII as well. It just might be a ICS problem if you think about it.

**evo4gMN** · 07-01-2012, 09:06 PM

Maybe i am missing something. I know NFC payments are a benefit of Google Wallet, however the number of retailers that accept this are few and far between. So why is it a huge deal we dont have this working on our phone yet? Don't get me wrong, it is annoying when a benefit of the phone doesn't work, but i dont see this as that big of a deal right now. I am loving this phone!

But it did work on the EVO 4G LTE until just after the official release date when Google shut it off. That's not an ICS problem. Many people used it that preordered the phones and got them early.

Well I thought no reason not to call. Guy knew right away about the EVO issue, said he has taken several calls on it himself. Asked about the TOS that says money will be taken from account if not used. He said until its fixed, no money should be taken out of the accounts, but if that does happen to call and it would be refunded.

Got an email a bit later saying they were working on the technical problem and would update when fixed

Minnesota, maybe that explains it, haha. Although, it could be it is accepted at a lot of the places I am going to and I just dont realize it. I should look more carefully when this does get fixed on our phones

Do I use the Deodexed or Odexed zip?

You can down load the MasterCard PayPass Locator in the play store and it will show you the nearest locations you can use Google Wallet.If you can ever get it working.Anywhere you see the PayPass logo you can use wallet
