Does anybody know if Tap to Pay with Google Wallet will work with the Turbo? It wouldn't work on my rooted DNA before this. I don't want to use softcard because you can only add like 4 stupid cards...
Thanks! So glad to hear that!!It works, used it last night when I got to the cashier and realized my wallet was in my car!
Can I ask a stupid question just cause I've never used Google Wallet before. I've set up everything as it should be and google wallet says it's ready for NFC payment, CC info is in etc and NFC turned on.
I tapped my phone (while turned on) on a terminal that said it accepted it and uh, nothing. Do I need to hold it there for a few seconds?
I thought it would just kind of click.
If it's set up, just a tap will produce a tone & confirmation. Many of the businesses with tap & pay terminals do not have them actually enabled - these will beep & then, nothing. I ask first if the feature is active & the clerk "usually" (but not always) knows.Yep. It says Tap and pay ready. Do I have to wait for a prompt from the point of sale?
A bit off topic...I just had a friend, who was an Apple fanboy but switched to Android apparently just to complain about it, call Apple Pay a 'game-changer.' I informed him Google Wallet has been around for years. His response was that GW is too hard to set up.

IMHO, Apple has brass balls touting Apple Pay as the new "all that" and for the life of me, I can't understand why the Android manufacturers don't publicize just how far behind the technology curve Apple devices really are. They could really make hay from how much more capable Android is not to mention, exposing their cute little camouflage catch word terms ala, "Retina Display". Apple successfully exploits the uninformed, the intellectually lazy & those afraid of change and the Android community let's them get away with it.A bit off topic...I just had a friend, who was an Apple fanboy but switched to Android apparently just to complain about it, call Apple Pay a 'game-changer.'

GW failed initially because it was a bit too early (merchant ports were few and far between) and some early bugs hampered it. But now that GW cleared the path, Apple is driving its 5 ton truck down the trail.

You may need to wait for the cashier to prepare the terminal to accept payment, in the same way you can't swipe a card early at some places.
Chuckled when I saw this - used mine @ Whataburger just a while ago. Just bump & go.I totally agree.
In my opinion the easiest place to practice using Google Wallet is McDonald's. As soon as the order is complete just hold your phone to the card reader and wait a few seconds. You'll hear a confirmation tone from the McDonald's cash register the transaction will be completed.
At other retailers, like Home Depot, the cashier has to hit the "credit" key on their terminal to complete the sale. At one point Home Depot was as easy to use Google Wallet as McDonald's but they changed their system and added an additional step.

I just activate by entering the PIN 1st and avoid the "double-tap" - touch once & done.Yep. Got mine to work. Had to hold it for a second then out in the pin the hold it again. Worked well though.
