So I went to try out NFC today... ($10 on sprint gnex) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Okay long story short, I had a terrible allergy attack and saw my doctor today. He prescribed 2 different medicines so i went to walgreens where they have the NFC terminals. The pharmacist told me they had 1 in stock and the other was at another walgreens nearby and I had to pick it up there. Each costed $10
Went to pay for the first one and... roaming!(without data) so I paid with cash and went to the other store to try it out with the other medicine... and no signal inside but full 3g outside!. So I paid with cash again and left.
So I am still stuck with those $10 on my gnex ugh!
talk about a crappy day at least my allergy symptoms have slowed :fingers-crossed:

You know Google Wallet doesn't need a data connection to pay?
It won't give a proper statement in your "Transactions" page, but it still works.
Also get better man.

I don't think Walgreen's has activated the NFC on their terminals yet.
I could be wrong.

damnit! learn something new every day I guess.
To the guy not getting his $10, is your phone new (from the store) or used? When I got my refurb Nexus it didnt show the $10 but when it gave me problems I had it swapped for a BNIB and the $10 were there. The money is not per google account, its per participating device.

I just figured that out. My original Nexus I got in a trade didn't give me the $10 on wallet. The replacement one that I have now did

Google Wallet Prepaid card is now $15 ?

I just installed AOKP M4 and it seems after installing Wallet and going through the Prepaid Card activation, I landed up with $15 Prepaid Credit instead of the usual $10 I'm used to seeing...
Anyone else see this?
I had only 69 cents but, was checking my wallet after all the latest provision problems and being without my wallet for days I check it periodically now.. All the sudden I had $5.69 instead of 69 cents ..Came here to check whats going on and see a comment here so I guess I do have some extra money now going to 7'11 for cigars now on Google for my medical marij........
checking my wallet to see if true
edit: nop! still same 10$
My balance is now showing $15 as well.
Perhaps they're attempting to apologize for the weeks that it wasn't working...?
15 here too.
yep i just got a $5 boost as well (t-mobile)
Nope, showing $2.67 for me.
Let me try removing the card...and re-adding it.
Edit: Same price. :/ Lucky you!
mine was showing 10 but after I clicked on the card it updated to 15 bucks.

Guys. Don't you ever check your email?
Hello,
As you may have experienced over the last few weeks, we temporarily disabled the feature to add the Google Prepaid Card back to your wallet if you previously removed the card or reset your wallet. We temporarily disabled this feature to ensure the security of our Wallet customers. We recognize this may have been an inconvenience for you, and we did not make this decision lightly.
We are happy to announce that you can now add the Google Prepaid Card back to your wallet with the newest version of Google Wallet, and any funds that you previously had on the card should be restored, unless you contacted Money Network and asked for a refund of those funds. To add the Google Prepaid Card back, you will first need to update your Google Wallet application to the most recent version.
To compensate you for any inconvenience this may have caused, we have credited an additional $5 (five US dollars) to your Google Prepaid Card. If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at 855-492-5538.
Thank you for your continued support of Google Wallet, and we look forward to launching many new and exciting features for you to enjoy in the coming months.
Sincerely,
The Google Wallet Team

Sprint Wallet $40 Bonus

Anyone here actually receive their $40 bonus yet? Just hoping I'm not messing anything up flashing all these roms. I did get the initial $10 and have spent it all, just wondering how long until I get the extra $40.

Sprints supposed to send it when you have the phone after a month. Not sure how the above poster got it already.

Let us know what they say...I've had mine the friday before the nexus hit stores and I have yet to get it.
i got mine the friday before release.... still no bonus? maybe only brand new activations? (used to have nexus s 4g with wallet)
the pre order email said something liek 4 weeks right?
No, it states that if you activate google wallet on a Galaxy Nexus for Sprint you will be credited. You are suppose to deactivate it on another device and reactivate it on the new one. I didn't activate mine until the GNexus was released for that purpose. The MEID is recorded and that's how Sprint knows you have activated it.
Got mine 4/20. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Still only have the 10 bux. I hope us early preorder-ers aren't screwed cuz we activated before 4/22 like the promo says.

Edit: Sprint Rep = Clueless
Please disregard my last post, Sprint reps are sometimes clueless and gave me the Citi MasterCard number.
So I called up Money Network and they stated that after activation it will take up to 3 weeks as expected but some may get it sooner. There is no way to check and see but as long as you got the $10 and your account is active you will get it. If for some reason you don't get it within 3 weeks call up money network @ (855) 896-0693.

Is it possible to make several Google accounts and just install Wallet and get $10

Each time? Technically you could have an unlimited amount of $10 or whatever they're giving because you're getting rid of the other account for a new account and install wallet and get $10, right?

I'm sure they track the IMEI.
Good luck with you fraud.
I never said I was going to do it. I was just asking if it was possible. I kind of knew they would detect the device on a hardware level too.

Wallet is tied to the hardware. Not your Google account. Example; before I had a gnex I had a nexus s. I got $10 on each phone using the same Google account.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Had a Nexus S 4G with $8, moved on to Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile and had $10. Had I not ported my number and deactivated the Nexus S 4G, I would have had $18 But spread across 2 different devices.
I had two faulty Gnexus so I ended up with $30 from google over the month. Too bad they weren't as generous as Sprint!

2.5 hours to get the wifes at best buy. The worker did everything rite but only could make calls. He seen problems and called att. Got the run around from 4 people and tried 3 sims cards. Finally what went down was a better att rep on phone realized that att itself changed my wife's plan from grandfather unlimited to 3gig limited and tried saying it was always that plan. Well its fixed and still grandfathered in. Best buys paper work had everything rite on it. Att just was trying to kick my wife's plan out and force a diff plan.
But $63 got her the phone.

Their "beast" system crashed , globally, while I was in there and was shut down for about 3 hours until the guy called att on his personal phone and did it that way, had to hand write my contract.
The beast system is their in-store upgrader which communicates with all major carriers but now I'm home playing with the phone it's a downgrade from the one I previously owned, the screen has a blue/ purpleish haze at the bottom of the screen.
I'm not happy at all with this one. I do plan on writing an email to best buy about their terrible service and considering the iPhone 5.
So much for saving $150..
Also after initially waiting in line for 40 minutes they told me I had no upgrade amid made me go to a att store close by and verified that I did then came back and waited another 3 hours till they figured this mess out

Agh, that sounds ROUGH!
I've herd BB called worst buy a bunch of times already. And your experience puts it into perspective.
I ordered a blue ATT 16GB from their website for a line on my family account that wasn't on a 2 year.
You woud have got the upper hand on price cause I payed $58.53. But you had a long wait in line.. And they gave you problems.
What you experienced is why I avoid Black friday, and only go to the store if Absolutely necessary.
I must say, calling ATT or Best buy on a Sunday is the worst way to spend your day.
I wanted to verify with ATT that they knew what was going on, and to make the note on my account
And Just wanted to make sure that Best buy wasn't going to pre-activate the line, or send a text to the phone number. (its a gift)
So i was reading about the kies 4.1.1 jb update and I noticed all the diferentes in the camera filters.
No this current phone does not have those extra options where as the old s3 I had bought and returned a few months ago, and did have the extra options.
What gives??

To those who were terminated from Sprint (part 2)

So after posting this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399983
I decided a few days later to see what would happen if I added data roaming into the equation. I checked my sprint account and it showed ~380MB roaming data (12MB on sprint lol). Clearly not enough
I found myself a nice 1GB test file to download and was able to get it 3x the first night and 2x last night.
Woke up and go this text:
SprintFreeMsg: Please watch your mail for an important account notice. If your address has changed blah blah blah
I looked at my sprint account to see how much my roaming has went up and saw a much nicer 6.5GB! Not bad for 2 days of work!
I'm HOPING this is them parting ways with me, and I can finally go GSM (Nexus 4 probably).
Has anyone who has been terminated confirm this is the final straw or what?! :victory:
If they don't ETF you, I mean one thing is for certain, you're outta here!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Well I know for a fact they can't ETF you if they are the one terminating the contract.
I honestly wouldn't even be in such a rush to get off Sprint but I cracked my screen and don't want to spend the $$ when I was planning on leaving Sprint when my contract is up in March 2014 anyway... sooner the better though lol
