Gpay

[mustang7757]

I'm not just talking about this one thing though... it's always the same with everything they do.

Look at the mess with messages... or is it called chat? or hangouts... maybe it's allo, I'm not sure... Whatever it is, I know that RCS works about half of the time, if you're lucky.

And this is what, the third or fourth time we've gone through this furore with android pay?

Google is known to do this

 

[me just saying]

I had my "Pays" mixed up lol, it was actually Google Pay (not GPay) that was getting the "old app updated" messages until the updates quit. Now I get Google Wallet updates instead, even though I never installed Wallet. I'm assuming one of the last Google Pay updates changed the name and function to Google Wallet. I've never opened either app, in fact I haven't even looked at them in my app drawer. I'm guessing the Google Pay app icon has been replaced by the Wallet icon.

I also wonder what the difference was between Google Pay and GPay?

Edit: It looks like some of my questions were answered above... but I agree Google could of made this whole thing less confusing

It does get confusing. Over the years, (if memory serves me) it went from google wallet to android pay to google pay to gpay and now back to google wallet.

as far as the difference, google pay was geared towards payments in stores while gpay was more for paying individuals.

The icon changing confused me, my watch was auto updated and changed icons. Found out when I went to pay for something and did not know what the icon looked like. It was a good thing I also had samsung pay installed. Had to figure out what happened later. .

I agree with you. I sometimes wonder who's making these decisions.
Not to praise the fruit company, they make their own blunders, but they carefully craft the direction they are going and pretty much stick to it. They perfect things before they put things out there. There is consistency.
What we need is something in the middle. Anyone have a couple billion lying around and want to talk business?

Something in the middle... a lot like what we need from our U.S. government What's with everything going to extremes anymore? As I get older I find I like consistency and the middle road a lot more in most things lol.

Yesterday I used Wallet to make a purchase. It worked just fine. The pia factor is to see the purchases history you have to use GPay since that isn't displayed in Wallet. Other than adding boarding passes, certain car models electronic keys that GPay doesn't seem to allow to add I don't see the point in having both. GPay is all I need.

believe it or not, when google went from google pay to gpay, people got fired. The roll out was messy.

I can see my purchase history in Wallet. Just tap on relevant card, then 'Details' then 'Activity' and it brings up the history for that card. I'm in the UK so I don't if that affects it.

Well, so it does. Thanks, but I do prefer how Gpay shows the total spending history and then you can look at the spending history of individual cards.
Nevertheless, I'll keep both.

I just tried to use GPay and Google Wallet at the ATM and vending machines at work and I started get the error messages again. I thought maybe it was my case stoping them from working , but even with the case off neither worked. Samsung Wallet works great with or without the case.

My sister has no issues with gpay and she has the same phone. Idk what I'm doing wrong or what my issue could be.
I hardly ever used android pay or gpay on other phones so of course when I want to utilize it , it doesn't work. Lol

I figured it out. Apparently under the nfc options Gpay has to be set as the default payment.

It would ask me when I opened Gpay if I wanted to set it as the default but I would always say no . I didn't know that made the difference. I also never set Samsung pay as default, but under the nfc options it was my default. Lol

Thanks for the help peeps. My issue is solved.

Thanks for this info. I'm sure I would have the same problem the first time I try to use it.

I uninstalled Samsung Pay near the end of my time with my N20U and uninstalled it the first day I got my S22U.

With MST gone in the S22U I personally felt there no need to have two and Google Pay/GPay worked pretty much 100%.

With that I wanted to have one less company that has my credit cards in some database.

If GPay doesn't work, I just bring out a CC and tap it on the reader. With all the CC having NFC sometimes I find it easier to pull that out of my pocket if my phone is already in my pocket.

This is the only phone I have both Gpay and Samsung wallet on it. My last couple of phones I didn't use Gpay/ Android pay. I stuck strictly with Samsung and even after a while I stopped using that when they revamped the rewards.

I wanted to give Gpay a try this go round because apps like after pay and quad pay be used in Gpay and not Samsung pay.
Once I get tired I'll uninstall both again and just go back to pulling out my debit card. Lol

I've always used Google pay in the past. This time around I'm giving Samsung wallet a try.

So far so good

 

[gtt1]

Any Canadians out there using google pay or Samsung pay? How is it working?

 

[rvbfan]

Gpay works as well or better than tap for me. Kinda a pita to setup with my bank though. Mine was changed to wallet a couple weeks ago.

I used Google Pay in the past, but switched to Samsung Pay when I got my first Samsung phone, the S10+, in 2019. Since then I haven't tried Google Play/Google Wallet at all on the S10+ or the S22 Ultra. I'll have to fire up Google Wallet and give it a go to see how it is now.

I used GPay and my Galaxy Watch 4 stopped tracking my sleep so I reset my watch, now my GPay doesn't work

Doesn't work how? I may have had a similar problem which I worked around by adding a different card to Google Wallet. If you don't have another card to use, you could try removing the card from your Google account and re-adding it.
