Popped your Google Wallet cherry at retail setting yet? I did today, and it was interesting.

for anyone that has used Google Wallet and uses a case, did you have to take it out from the case?

I have a Seidio surface case on my n4 and it worked fine. Also works with NFC tags.

It depends on what kind of case you have, but probably not. NFC will work fine through slim rubber cases, like TPU cases, which is what I have. It works through the case for me. I'm under the impression it only wouldn't work if you had a metal case.

There was a post somewhere about that, it said that you needed to move GW to the root directory to make it work if you were rooted. My N4 isn't rooted because of this issue.

Says I can't use wallet becauese I'm rooted... Any work around....I'm on a N4

I had fun doing this last night at McDonalds. Cashier looked surprised.

I shocked the whole line and the cashier at bp.

I'm the OP, and my N4 is rooted. No, I did not have to move Google Wallet; that is, I'm using the stock Google Wallet app as it came with the phone.

Just used it twice, once at Sheetz and at McDonalds. Worked like a charm

I'm having problems with mine today.

First it wouldn't launch so I woke up my phone and re-touched it then it launched but it said "configuring wallet". I didn't want the people behind me to have to keep waiting so I took my CC out and used it.

Then afterwards I went to Quik Chek to get some lunch and I tapped it, the thing came up, I put in my pin number, it said to place it back and I put it back on the pad but then nothing happend. So I had to use my CC again :\

I've been using mine a few months. Some vending machines accept it now and I've used it at the buckle, McDonald's, Starbucks..I don't even need my wallet anymore. Wake phone tap , enter pin number, tap again and I'm out...cashiers love seeing me use it.

Do they still make you sign for the transaction? Or maybe that depends on the store...

the 7-Eleven I used mine at did not make me sign for it.

Been using NFC to pay for nearly a year. Love it. I've never been asked to sign anything when I've paid with NFC. Just tap and go! :good:

I'm in Austin and just activated my ISIS a week ago for testing. Setup required some ISIS customer service assistance, Verizon store was pretty clueless but tried to help. I do think that the main issue could have been related to the recent OS update. I had to completely reload the app and somewhat start all over from when I first bought the phone in November. After the service was set back up, it had some updating of its own to do too. I'm fairly tech minded and don't give up on things very easily but I really had to make an effort to get this thing going. They will have to work out some of the kinks before the mainstream consumer will adopt it fully. So the process hasn't been seamless but the results so far have been pretty cool. The service works fantastic at the vending machines at my work, McD?s down the street and basically anyplace that has an NFC reader. It doesn?t have to be just ISIS branded. I received my companion card in the mail that works everywhere else that doesn?t have NFC readers and I can use that at ATMs also. I only reload it with an amount I think I?ll need and loading from another card is easy and instant. I will summarize by saying in my case, getting starting had some hiccups but the ability to use my phone this way is very convenient and futuristic. I look forward to it becoming more mainstream but until then I will continue to impress my friends by paying by phone

I've been using GW flawlessly for the last couple of months at McDonald's, Rite Aid, CVS, Foot Locker, Wegman's and Hess. I actually scared the Indian lady at Hell when I pulled out my phone and paid for gas...the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I use it at vending machines but I have never used it with a cashier.

 

[Gamer_Radar]

Never used it... I wish I could but it never seems to work...

I have seen the terminals all over Austin as well. I stopped into an ATT store several months ago and when they tried to give me a new SIM, I passed. I switch my SIM between phones and goggle wallet works fine on my Nexus 4 so I guess I will not have ISIS.
