Is NFC broke? Can you use google wallet?

[Morlince]

For those of you that are lucky enough to have received your phone already, have you tried using google wallet? Does the NFC chip work?

I can't imagine Verizon disabled NFC. I remember when I pre-ordered the Samsung 5 pack of NFC tiles were available on the accessory page.

Good point, but the NFC was disabled on the nexus just because wasnt it?

Nfc is not disabled. Verizon has choose not allow their customers to use Google wallet. Nfc works for other uses.

Re: Nexus, I thought Google Wallet was disabled (which uses NFC). Was NFC itself disabled too? Either way, I doubt NFC is disabled on the S3.

No big surprise there.

I just cancelled my order. No Wallet, no phone!

vzw didn't allow Google wallet because they signed up with another company but you can still get Google wallet loaded onto the nexus and im pretty sure you can get it loaded onto the s3 just as easy. and just like bmx said NFC isn't disabled and if it is, its just disabled in the options and you can enable it.

VZW is developing their own wallet program and will probably charge you to use it. 1-10 transactions at some ridiculous price then 11-20 transactions at more cost and so on..

Actually, it will be called the shared everything wallet and will be touted as the best thing on earth by vzw employees.

If verizon has been working on this extra program since before the Nexus why haven't they released it yet? God damn verizon messing with our stuff all the time.

You say you can still load it if your rooted? I hope so because that was one of the features i really was looking forward to.
