Excited to get my Nexus on Monday, and I was just wondering if anyone that has their phone is using Google Wallet yet?
I have really been wanting to use Google Wallet but have been locked in with Verizon who backs ISIS and says **** you to Wallet.

I have several times since receiving my phone yesterday; works great. Also was a nice conversation starter with the cute cashier behind the register.
I wanna use it so badly. I work at Cvs and I've pretty much been bragging about it to my colleagues. Can't wait to show off Google wallet.

Awesome, Glad to hear that! Haha.
I'm looking forward to trying it out for the first time. Maybe I can impress my wife? Lol but probably not.
I'm pretty new to how to use it/where you can use it ... I assume wherever the "Pay Pass" type things are you can use it? Nothing proprietary?

I used it for the first time today since getting my phone 2 days ago. The cashier looked at me like I was crazy and kept telling me to swipe my card. I had to stall her until it printed out a receipt. It will definitely take some time to catch on!

That's funny. I would have just looked at them awkwardly until the receipt printed. Then silently walked away.

You just set your default card. Can change it whenever u want

Yes you can select the one you would like to use at that point in time..... there is a " select card" button. And if you want to use another card you just hit that button again for that card
From what I've heard and seen, you can select which one to use when you open the app. Can't be 100% sure on that as I've never used it, but hopefully someone can confirm.

Pretty much anywhere that has a PayPass terminal. I say "pretty much anywhere" because even if they do have it, they might actually have it turned off. Best Buy is one such place that has the terminals but has it shut down (tried it in the past at 3 different locations with my Galaxy Nexus). I've read that it's supposedly because it costs them too much to operate, but who really knows.
Off the top of my head of places I've used it in that all work: CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, McDonalds, 7-Eleven, and BJ's Wholesale Club.
To help you out even further, download the Mastercard PayPass Locator app. It'll bring up a list of locations near your current location that should have the terminals installed.

It honestly doesn't matter what you tell them. It'll process as whatever your selected card is, but if it's a debit card you won't have to put in your pin number. Tap, and go.

So I was excited to finally use Google wallet on my nexus, I walked into my local McDonalds and ordered just a regular cheeseburger. When the lady asked me to pay I then busted out my phone and tried to tap the NFC pad, it didn't do anything and everyone was staring at me thinking I'm some sort of alien. I just thought maybe you guys have some fails too, please post below!!

Since PA had been updating the ROM a lot, I forget to set up my wallet. Every time I have the chance to use it, it takes forever to set up. I always just end up using my debit card

It's happened to me too. My wallet works at a lot of places, so it's not my phone, but it's still embarrassing. It's the store/restaurant, but the dummies working there don't know how to use pay pass or their system was never set up for our even though the pass pad is on.

There is a list that is easily found that shows the stores, etc that have signed on. It works well at those places of your set up. I have only used it twice though as not many stores use it yet.

I recently tried to use it at my place of work. No matter what, the cashier and I couldn't get it to work. She had heard of the technology and even has another customer who uses Google wallet. I finally decided it was the phone and paid cash. Wallet recognizes its near the NFC debit reader, but says the data transfer may have failed.

I have had it work and not work. In fact, it has worked AND not worked in the same McDonalds, but most likely different pads. My friend that works for google says that it is most likely the pad that doesn't work. But when you start it, make sure you have set up wallet AND that the screen has been turned on. You might want to try resetting your phone before you go into a place where you are going to pay with wallet.
Mine has always worked other than the first time at Target.
The instructions tell you to unlock the phone first, tap NFC pad, then put in your access code. That way did not work for me.
Instead, I turn on my phone and load up wallet first. Enter the pin, and keep it at the card screen. Tap to pay. WIN.

But yep, I am always afraid of using it, anyway my CC gives me cashback so no need for Google wallet, the first thing I do when I root is to take out the *nfc*apk and Wallet.apk so they don't take resources.

Few times I left my nexus on a treadmill and didn't notice till my music became staticky as I've gotten far. I also always leave it by the courts when I run full court basketball, so do others. Crazy how mine hasn't been stolen yet. Knock on wood.

That´s not true.
The IMEI will be blocked by the AT&T and the N4 will no longer work with a sim card from AT&T network.
The problem is only one, the IMEI is going to be usable for other networks.
I guess Cerburus or any other anti-theft app will get wiped when flashing a factory image including user data.

They have stock in the Sprint Store. I called yesterday playing dumb to see if I could get a store to sell early. I was told it would be released today. So I take my happy little but over to the Sprint Store as soon as it opens this morning. Lady at the counter tells me yes they have some in stock and yes I can purchase one. She goes back and grabs a box and brings it up to begin the purchase process.
Then a manager stops her. He informs her that they cannot sell them yet and he sends me on my sad little heartbroken way.

When I was in support and receiving lot of random stuff for folks I found a Windows desktop widget (of all things) that worked really well. You just put in the tracking info and it would show the latest real time info in the widget and you could even click on each delivery and see a map of where the last update had come in and when on the map.
Alas, I ordered from HTC and still have no tracking info.

Actually just look for the "NFC" or "PayPass" logo, it will also work. Keep in mind that some places may not have it enabled or the antenna may be broken.

It's actually really convenient too, as long as you have NFC enabled you don't have to launch anything, just hover the phone/tablet over the terminal thingy and it will do the rest.
I used it a couple times, but after trying it... I find it much faster to just swipe my card instead of tapping it, entering pin. Still useful if I ever forget my actual wallet in the car or something, but it really isn't a time saver.

Not sure where it is on the One, on the N7 it's in the middle of the device on the back. And on the N7 it works through cases which is a nice bonus too, I imagine it's the same for other phones and devices (not that you'd want to cover up the sexy beast that is the One ). Really looking forward to my upgrade in a couple weeks so I can have a phone that's NFC-capable, using a tablet isn't quite as wieldy or convenient.

They said they were there full time now. Pretty cool to see. My first hands on with a Gear. I can see it's utility, but doubt I'll get one.

For about a year. My store also has a Google rep for the Google section. A Windows store with Microsoft employees and of course the Apple section. With more to come next year.

A Google section? I have a Samsung in my local, but there are a couple close to me that have the apple section and Samsung section.

Went to Monroe, NY store. They have the Samsung area as well. Pretty nice. Had the Samsung watch in various colors but all dummy. None were real watches.
Here in Altamonte FLorida! Pretty awesome
Yeah buddy
One is in San Diego Ca. And the lady there was somewhat knowledgeable but had no idea what "Kit Kat" 4.4 was . But she did update my S4 to 4.3 since the OTA never came to my phone .

The lady working the Samsung area at our BB also offered to update/check my S4. I refused since I'm rooted and it was a bit of a battle to get 4.3 installed and solid on my phone.
Mine was rooted also but at the same time I was so excited about the update that I jumped to gun. I tried to find if I needed to take any steps before receiving the update but couldn't find any information. Long story short it took with no problem root was gone but I just rerooted and it was good. The update actually fixed my battery life tremendously. Took 15 min via usb.

We have a Samsung at all the Best Buys here in Wichita, KS. They are really the only reason I ended up going with the S4.
Here in WV too
Huntington, WV +1
Can confirm..
Almost every Best Buy should have a Samsung Experience Store inside now, with the exception of a very few. The only stores I am aware of without them are the small format stores. Even the Best Buy Mobile stores have a small Samsung vignette now.
dont go to best buy mobile they spent almost 45 minutes trying to get my note 2 to work with the store demo galaxy gear, i guess they hire any ole body at those stores

Seems weird that you would let them try and pair a non compatible device for that long. Assuming you weren't rooted and using a compatibility work around.
