How was your first time with Google Wallet?

[Shark_On_Land]

I maybe wrong but I thought the diephone had this also.

AFAIK the iPhone doesn't have a NFC chip. Thee Nexus S is the only phone in the us that has it. However only the Nexus S 4g has Google wallet for the mommet

It's been five days... Still no Wallet love here. Waiting for the update. Talk about a slooooow rollout. Heck, the GRJ90 update only took three days!

Has anyone else had a hard time getting the google prepaid card to activate? It just keeps failing.

no problems here. I just finished downloading the 2.3.7 update & activating Google Wallet. All told took about 20 minutes to complete the whole process.

Smooth sailing so far. Time to go checkout the Wallet app & see how it goes.

Here's a thought - I have the Rocketfish soft shell case on my Nexus S, I am wondering if the case will interfere with the connection between the NFC of the phone & the payment machine.

I'll let you all know what I find out when I use it.

I had 2.3.5 on my Nexus S 4G and the phone was rooted, I accidentally accepted 2.3.7 about a week ago, when the first wave rolled out updates. It killed root, so I found 2.3.4 and reinstalled that, cleaned root and everything. Then the phone automatically downloaded 2.3.5 within 5 minutes of the phone being turned on. I updated to that and kept checking for 2.3.7, but it didnt come back... So... this is what I did and it worked for me....

I went and pulled the battery, pressed the power button for a minute to drain all residual power, replaced everything and powered on the phone. Went into Settings, About Phone, Sprint System Updates and updated my PRL and Data Profile. Then I waited a few minutes and went back into Settings, About Phone and System Updates - It still wasnt there, so I again turned off the phone (did not take out battery) waited a few minutes turned it on, and checked, and sure enough 2.3.7 was downloading and ready to install. Then installed it tested it, everything worked, then went about doing the One Click Root (which also worked on 2.3.7 flawlessly). So there you have it.
Definitely try updating your data profile, cause it lets Sprint know data needs provisioning, which triggers a ton of other updates for the phone.

I think the lowest amount of money you can add is $20. I tried to add $10 and it didn't go.

Does Google Wallet work on rooted phones?

 

[evoldroid]

Yes in rooted

 

[enik]

I've been using it a lot and only had one mess up but I think it had more to do with a damaged payment kiosk than my NS4G other than that it is the easiest payment system I've ever used.

Or you could just do this.

Omg! I couldnt take it anymore. Went stock. Ran to the vending machine. Bought a soda. Amazing.

Instant nfc communication. Asked to put pin in and tap again. Out comes my soda. I feel like a 5 year old on Xmas morning.

Haha I know right?

I went to a store yesterday in downtown Richmond Va. Three people were shocked of what i did. So logically I said, "I'm from the future" and walked out.

Took me forever to activate the pre-paid card, but I did......worked like a charm. Used it at CVS & 7-Eleven with no problems.....I got the "WTH" look from people on the lines lol

 

[evoldroid]

This is truly the hottest technology so far with a phone

Very logical indeed. When I make my next purchase it shall be in front of someone. So when they ask what was that. I will reply in the same fashion. Except, I will then in turn ask them if they sell plutonium at said location. It will end with them asking what and me repeating there question and looking around.

I will then turn to whomever is with me and respond: "We need to find some to power the 21 jigawats to get you back to 1985".

Well...first and foremost, your phone has to have an NFC chip. To the best of my knowledge, only the Nexus S sports one (both the 3G and 4G versions).

Have not used mine yet, does the phone need to be naked for this to work?

I would hope not...it's called Near Field Communication for a reason...not "Direct Contact Communication".
