Yes. The "WOW Factor" is definitely worth it.
Use it now before people start referring to it as that thing the SGS3 can do. Or, eventually, that thing Apple invented for the iPhone.

Ive always wondered, How do you load more money on google wallet after i use up the free $10?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Meh not really impressed with it. Sounds kinda cool but the fact that you have to load money onto it kinda defeats the convenience factor. To me its just as quick to pull out my card and swipe it.

When you log into wallet tap on the Google prepaid card and it will bring up another screen and give you the option to add funds to the card...
Im going to agree, having to load it with money from a credit card make wallet totally pointless. Sorry im not going to put money into it, just to get a "wow" out of some under paid cashier.

This stuff is all very new. At the moment, I'd rather add money to Wallet than link it to either my bank account or credit card. Actually, at the moment, unless I have a good reason to use it rather than using my credit card, I wouldn't even use it.

Google wallet is a neat gimmick, maybe it will catch on, maybe it won't. It kind of feels like the 3d screen on the Evo 3d again. It's gimmicky, but it sure is cool.
It's faster debit than the card, hold your phone over the scan pad & keep it moving.
It's a cool way to save for me, plus I hate pending transactions.
Nearly every store has it.
The mastercard paypass app will be key in letting you know if it's worth it. It'll show businesses that have the scanner.

I agree in general with you, but around here, just about the only places that have NFC payment options are 7-11 and CVS. I don't frequent them often enough to bother with Google Wallet. If it were more readily available or in at least one store that I go to often, I'd load up the prepaid card and use it all the time. If it takes off, I'll be on the bandwagon in no time, but for me, right now, it's just cool technology.
To me is worth it,,,but just to show off.

Google wallet isn't exactly taking off. There seems to be new issues with it all the time.

This whole payment via a phone is ridiculous. I've commented a few times about it. I was shaking my head when I read a few people was returning phones cause wallet wasn't working. NFC might have a future but the future won't be in payments. I'm just glad I used up my $10.

I felt the same way when I first heard about it. After seeing it and using it I have to say that I feel very differently about it. It's a cool idea and very convenient to have all your coupons and loyalty cards in there and automatically applied as you make your purchase. That being said, Isis is the system that will probably win out in the end.

I used mine at rite aid today, didnt work at first but the reason was, because the clerk has to switch it to credit or what not. It wont just work at some places, you have to tell them, "credit please". An usually you will hear something on their side and it will tell you to swipe card, then you just tap your phone.
I have a Seidio’s ACTIVE case and it works great.
Had no problem using mine at McDonald's but messed up the first time I tried it by not holding the phone on the card reader long enough. Once I realized that it works flawlessly.

It definitely doesn't work with all systems that accept paypass. It requires the correct software on the retailers side as well. For example...I went to The Container Store (which fully supports Google Wallet) and tried using my phone. It would beep and my phone would acknowledge that something happened, but it their side couldn't process it. Exact same thing happened at Banana Republic....who also supposedly accepts Google Wallet. I think this will be corrected as time goes on and it's not so "new" anymore though.
So how many people are actually using this successfully. I want to set it up and use it but I'm afraid of looking like a dumb ass tapping my phone on the credit card thing by the register and nothing happening. I was at taco cabana and saw when I slid my card it had the little sideways WiFi type symbol for the speedpass I guess that is what u would use it on?

Well, I went up to walgreens and they have some stupid advertisement for their rewards cards taped over the sensor. I had a couple behind me and the lady at the register rang me up and gave me the total so I unlocked my screen and put the phone on top of the advertisement they had on it. She and the people behind me just kinda looked at me and I felt stupid. I don't know if it was the advertisement, my rubber case, or me just not leaving it up there long enough but as soon as I felt like a dumbass (which was the second I put it up there) I took it off and dug my wallet out so I could swipe my card. I'm gonna have to practice on a vending machine to get the feel of it. Try case on and case off and see if that makes a difference.

Some NFC terminals you actually have to "tap," not "hover," the phone over in order to wake up the terminal. Just give it a little slap with your phone.

A simple google search with the name pretty much gives you the street he lives on, if that's him and not someone who took the image and name off the internet.
This thread got so word so quick. I'm surprised the mods haven't closed this thread yet simply based on who started it and now I'm even more surprised it's still open based on how off topic it has become.
On another note, I can't believe the op hasn't deleted his account yet and just started over. Surely he is tired of every one harrasing him. And no that isn't me defending. I agree with it. Just surprised he's still here.

well, you're paying your share of insurance with cash, but the insurance premium is a "bill", so you do pay "bill".. maybe not "billS"..
anyway, sorry for off-topic, but I have to say that the thread about "downloading update from AT&T and pushing it to the phone" "basically tricking the phone" didn't come across as a joke to me, but rather a very strange and bewildering attempt to scam people for donations. and you did it again with the "HTC logo as a capacitive button" thread. So your assertion that the AT&T update thread was just a joke is a little hard to swallow. I they were both jokes, perhaps you should bounce them off someone before posting, just to see if anyone else finds them funny.

From my understanding of the conversation I had with them at the store giving back your phone is an option but it's not mandatory! I think they will give you an additional discount if you trade in your old phone.

Damn, you think they'd go for it? I still have my OG evo, and it works. Speaker is blown (again lol) and there's a crack on the screen, but other than that it's fine. It's still got decks GB ROM on it I'd trade it in for sure.

Return it to stock then customize it a bit like the wallpaper and add few apps then return it for that program. Hey its worth a shot
If its in my area I'd definitely do that.

I'd like to see if it works. Make sure to activate it and put it back on your account again. You can do it online for free.

It turns out you can't do that. I went in yesterday and asked a lot of questions. It has to be the device you are currently paying off, as they charge differently for the phones now. You pay it off monthly, with the cost split over 2yrs/24months, around 25$. Then, after a year, you can trade it in, and they zero out the payments, and you start over with a new 'non-contract'.
What I don't like is they are going to start having tiered data plans. I told dude that I like the unlimited data, will I keep it? He said, yes, but said they sell smaller data packages now. Which, by default, makes unlimited more expensive. What a joke!
Bill is gonna go up. The 3 lines I pay for now are 149$ ish on paper, about 190 after taxes. To keep same level of service, on paper would be 240ish, god knows what after taxes. P1ssed off.
If anyone knows differently, please correct me, but this was my understanding after talking with a rep for about 30min.

I'm with you on this one. I talked with a rep about the same thing but I have 5 phones and pay $330.00 now. If i changed it was going towards the $450 range. To me that is crazy.
One up program discontinued as of 01.09.2014 new gimmick is the "Framily" plan. One uppers can continue their program if they wish though.

Does anyone else think the new "Framily plan" is needlessly convoluted?
I mean why get rid of the One Up program?
I won't use either but I was reading over the "Framily plan" and I just tend to think it's gonna be a bust for Sprint. It's going to be hard to manage and most people are going to have a difficult time understanding the details of it.
