How the hell do you use Google Wallet?

I setup my GW today and went to Sheetz to try to use it. I sat there like an idiot with my phone out as it did nothing and the line backed up behind me. How close do you have to get to the paypass thing?

It shouldn't be difficult, just bring your phone near the pay pass reader and it just works

lol 6 inches? you gotta almost touch it to the terminal. Ever see how close you have to get 2 phones together for android beam? like that close.
You should be happy that for your own security it doesn't work from 6inches away.

ahhh ok thanks, ill try again tomorrow before work

Bought 2 bags of potatoes today on Google, works pretty slick !
I got it about an inch away and heard a beep, the rest is history.

urgh I gotta wait till it comes to the UK

I tried at my local CVS today and they found out that their card reader didn't have pay pass activated, even though it supports it. The manager told me they had no idea how to set it up and that they really didn't care - in the past year that they have had it Im the only one that has ever asked about the feature.

They have a app in the market developed by mastercard to find nearest pay pass
It's called paypass locator

Do you have to turn the phone screen on, or did you just pull it out and touch it to the terminal?

Google just paid for my lunch!

Went to McDonalds by my work, and after my failed attempted to use it at Sheetz, I was able to buy my lunch instantly with the free $10 All the people were amazed and came running over LOL, I didnt have the heart to tell them it wouldnt work with their phones.

I used it at a 7/11 the other day and the cashier was looking at me like I was a crazed man trying to pay with his phone. Got meh some Dr. Pepper and AriZona's. XD

I can't wait to try it out either and see the looks I'll get

I just had a double cheeseburger and fries on Google. Thanks Google Wallet!!! It worked fine.

I've used my Google Wallet twice now and both times it's warped the cashier's fragile little mind

Thanks for the updates guys, just installed Google Wallet and received $10!

So what can you use it ANYWHERE a MasterCard PayPass is accepted? How do you do it? I'm always nervous to just try to swipe my phone up there, I dunno!

are you guys installing it using the APK?

question guys.. are you guys launching the app prior to swiping or just waking the phone/unlocking?

I think it's after you unlock it but I'm not sure. I just unlocked it so I don't look like an idiot if unlocking is required

I did the same exact thing. Got a double quarter pounder meal!
The people who worked there loved it.
All you have to do is when they're ready for you to pay, take out your phone, unlock it from the lock screen, then hold it to the reader (for them it's the little red pad above the card reader) takes less than a second before it registers the connection and pays for it. was able to take the phone out touch the pad and put it back in my pocket all in one motion. bam. it's that easy.

Me too! I just popped my NFC cherry at Jack In The Box. Thanks Google!

I first used it at my local grocery store. I found it to be very easy. To use G-wallet you have to set everything up in wallet first, obviously. Once you have a default card selected you can exit the app. Go to the store, simply wake the phone / unlock it if you use a lock screen, select credit on the stores pay pass system, hold the back of the phone to the NFC reader and the wallet app will pop up asking for your pin. Enter the pin and place the phone back on the NFC reader and you will hear a beep. That's it!

PSA: Spend your Google Prepaid Card before it's gone.

https://www.google.com/wallet/prepaid-refund/
Spend that $10 you got from Google Wallet now before it goes away on October 17. Apparently you can ask for a refund after that date, but you're charged $2 every 30 days you don't buy anything.

Is there anyway to use this to purchase something from Google Play? I've tried adding it in as a prepaid card with the number, but no go. It would be nice to use this to buy a few apps or something.

How do I get my $10? Do I need to add one of my cards first?
Edit- never mind

Anyway to spend it on something fun? The only place I've used it is at 7-11 so I guess I could use the remaining balance on it for a few drops of gas

what? they recently introduced this prepaid feature and already axing it? why not keep it there as an option for those that don't have credit/debit cards..
this is typical of how google works.. if they don't make millions on something, kill it.

They are getting rid of it because you can use your own credit/debit card now with Google Wallet, so no need for them to keep the prepaid option.

I think the point was to have an option where people can just pay onto the 'cash account' at a retail POS like 7-Eleven as some people don't have a CC or debt card.

It wouldn't make any sense, the point of the per paid cards was a bit of an incentive to the quote unquote beta testers. And now that we can use any credit card, there's no point to it.

I really don't see the harm in leaving it up. If my aunt wanted to send me money, I had a prepaid card to charge her credit card to...then she won't ask why there's $5.09 used every few days (cigarettes) ha. But I guess I'll just get a real prepaid card and put it in my phone. But that kills the purpose of me using Google wallet. Not every place has a nfc reader thingie

You just go onto Google Wallet and activate a Google Prepaid Card iirc. The $10 can only be used in real life, so no play store credit.

Free $25 Bucks Just By Signing Up ISIS.

Yeppers! This will help me buy accessories for my new GN2. However, you will need to live in or around the 2 testing cities. Can't do it on a rooted phone, and you need the sim card that supports it. Thus pretty much nicks allot of folks around here in XDA, except for me, who lives close to Austin TX, and wants my free $25. YEAH!

Yes your right about the $10, then if you register a virtual ISIS card (within the app), you'll get $15 more dollars, which adds up to $25.

I'm in Austin as well. Signed up for the card and got the free $10, spent at a CVS Pharmacy no problem.
Only problem is, when I try to click "upgrade to reloadable" or anywhere else on the ISIS cash card, I get the error "Alert: You are not an authorized user."
Pretty annoyed since I'd like to keep using the app, but can't! I'm not rooted, running everything stock and get the error every time
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app as well and same thing.

It is supported on T-Mobile's Galaxy Note 2 as of the October 26th version. It used to proudly state "Now supports Galaxy Note 2!" on the "What's New" section in the Play Store but after my complaints to ISIS it looks like they deleted that text.
It is still listed as supported in the app description on the Play Store. Supported devices for T-Mobile are Galaxy S Relay 4G, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note 2.
Like I said, I activated the wallet and bought stuff from a store with it but it's pretty worthless since I can't reload the cash card, you should hold off until they fix it.

Just to update the thread, ISIS finally works for me after dealing with their awful support for 2+ weeks (Mostly me repeating myself and them telling me the problem was resolved when it wasn't) but was finally contacted again this morning and it seems to actually work now.
Hope they get their issues resolved before the national launch. In the meantime, I'm going to finally try out the service. Just waiting on my reloadable upgrade to process now.

Google Wallet Works 4.1.2

I didn't see any posts yet about this.
When looking up Google Wallet in the market it still says it is not supported, I took the apk from my Nexus 7 and installed it and it works great!

It does? I'm not on JB yet because I don't want to LGNPST back. Waiting on the devs to do their stuff, but can anyone else confirm this? It'd be awesome if it did, because I was hoping I'd get wallet on this.

I was able to install Google wallet fine after upgrading. The application seems to work fine, it even reminds you that your device is unsupported. I have not actually tried to make a payment with it yet though, but I imagine it works fine.

where can I find this apk?

All paypass locations. Only places that advertise the use of Google wallets are airports. But the real focus are in paypass locations. Most gas stations. Fast food joints. Clothing stores. Walmart has talked about picking it up. Nearly every store in my local mall. Pizza hut by my house.
