No Google wallet support...ugh.

[Devost]

I'm a big fan of google wallet, but get an error that it is not supported on this device. Works great on my International Nexus on ATT.

The home button requires too much force to press. Takes the phone out of balance and disrupts the flow of the device.

NFC seems to work fine with Tectiles.

Tried the fix from the Sprint forums. No luck.

Yep. AT&T made sure you couldn't use it because they are working with other carriers on something similar, called ISIS I think. Just be glad they didn't disable the whole NFC function altogether like they did on the SGS2. It irks me when carriers take away choices on a phone I pay for.

Yeah, no kidding. I use Wallet enough I may return this phone and just keep using my international Nexus as it works great on that device.

So help me out here, AT&T will not support Google wallet on galaxy S3? I would have to ask where you get this information from? Why would AT&T not support the wallet on S3 but AT&T does support it on the nexus? For that reason I'm lead to believe this info blaming AT&T is incorrect. If someone could please give me the real reason why I can't use Google wallet pin my galaxy S3? Thank you

Have to agree with this. While it's in no way a big issue for me at all I never did get the mix of hardware buttons and capacitive buttons. And I'm not even talking about the single physical button on the iPhone as I can understand that one, but when you have capacitive menu and back buttons why put a physical button in the middle? It takes the nice smooth touch experience and sort of "interrupts" it when you need to hit the home button because you can't just gently tap it but instead have to press it in.

I came from the Droid 2 and all the option buttons were capacitive which I liked. My boss got the Droid X before I moved over to Android and let me mess with it. I couldn't get past that all four option buttons were physical, hated that.

Again, not a big issue at all on my S3, I mostly back out of programs using the Back button anyway, but it would be nice in future renditions to have all capacitive buttons. This doesn't apply to volume and power of course - they need to be physical buttons.
