If you haven't downloaded google wallet yet I suggest you do it and go out and wow every cashier in site.

That feeling is just awesome..

Just left a 7-11 where I asked the guy had He ever seen someone pay with their phone before and He said no in disbelief. 3 seconds later my transaction was done and the cashiers mouth dropped as I was walking out the door.

Simply amazing!

I tried but was unsuccessful. I heard a beep, my phone said SENT, but there was no dollar amount or completed transaction at the register. The transaction shows up in the Wallet app, but there is no dollar amount listed. I need to try it at another location to see if was their register or my phone. When you tap the phone, should you see a dollar amount for the transaction on your phone, or does it only say SENT?

If you click on the question mark next to the sent it will tell you what happens.

Tell them the Google wallet nfc element is bad. Google said the phone needs to be replaced. Show them the info online

That it's not a properly functioning device. It doesn't matter that Google Wallet is officially not available, if it was available it wouldn't work on your phone. You need a new one. It's covered by the warranty.

I wonder how long it'll take till they going to integrate state IDs into this technology.
-Good evening, officer.
-Good evening, can I see your phone?

To bad none of my favorite stores have NFC :( . There's a McDonalds that has it, I never ate a burger in my life at McDonalds , I guess it's time to start.

Tells me there is "No amount available for this transaction..."

I think the BP registers are setup that they need to press "Credit" after the Beep, which the cashier did not do. I'll try again, or try McD's and see what happens.

mine showed sent for a few hours.

Now this is what it shows.

I cropped out the address and map for obvious reasons.
