Just wondering how it works. Do you have to open google wallet app and then tap? Do they have to do something on the register for it to work?

How to use Google Wallet?
- Thread starter ntorres6

were you rooted when you took the update like I was.......idiot! If it doesn't say unsupported device at the top make sure you got the prepaid $10
How long does it take for the transaction to work? I tried at a Home Depot earlier today and couldn't get it to work. Is the speed dependent on your data signal?
I have tried at least a dozen places. McDs, Whataburger, Walgreens, a soda machine that has the paypass logo and other. Not one has worked. Begining to think its a farce and useless 'feature' that was not fully engineered or tested and foisted on Sprint customers like so many others. Guess I am just down on Sprint today with the NON launch of LTE today in Houston.
Anyway, I still try the Wallet thing from time to time but never expect it to work anymore.
i really should go to the sprint store and explain to them they can have thier payment as soon as thier payment system is made to work.......

Tried it a Jack in the Box this morning...it read the phone, did the sound thing, then said it wasn't reading the phone...but, it did do the little "wave" thingy...but, no go...
I tried it at a paypass terminal at Jersey Mike's. The cashier was clueless about it. I don't know if there was something she needed to do on her end, but nothing happened when I waved the phone over the device
Make sure the store has the machine turned on first. Ones I've seen should have a green light on the pay pass scanner. First time I used GW the store (Burger King) didn't have a clue what I was doing, or had a clue on how to turn it on. After ordering $10 worth of food I just left and they was demanding I pay. Real horror story but went to a different BK and they had the green light on the scanner and it worked flawlessy. Just hold phone above the scanner, google wallet should launch and punch in your pin, if prompted debit or credit always push credit, money transfers. Thanks for the food Google!
Not sure why everyone on here is having issues... I've tried it at 711 and Whataburger and it worked instantly for the past week and even funded $20 to it. Just have to have the screen on. The NFC needs to be turned ON in the wireless and networks settings if haven't checked.

Used it at a 7-11 for the first time today. Worked flawlessly. I held the phone in the terminal for a couple seconds and it asked for my pin. Had to tap it again to the complete the transaction. Took 15 seconds total.
However I did try it at a Mobil station and it didn't work. I'm wondering if some terminals don't work because no has tried to use them and they're not in service.

Tried it at a Whataburger and it didn't work for me. The lady behind the counter looked at me like I was crazy trying to pay for my breakfast with my phone. She probably was thinking, "what is this dumbass trying to do?" Will look for more places to try.

This is part of the problem people are experiencing.. Even if Wallet is working fine the retailer could have it turned off or not functioning. Best Buy came straight out and told me they disabled it because nobody used it. The problem is likely at the retailer end in a lot of cases they have no idea how it works or IF its working because hardly anyone uses Paypass or their phones for payments yet.
I've tried to use Google Wallet twice. Once at CVS and once at McDonalds. Both times I would get to the "tap device again to complete transaction" and then nothing would happen when I'd tap the device again... anyone else experiencing this?
I tried at CVS and nothing would happen when the "tap device again to complete transaction" message would come on... any advice?
