Let's just say the release is halted for a few months. Turns out I need either a #Visa or #MasterCard to create play console account.
This doesn't make sense to me when #GPay is literally available in #India.
Thanks #Google 😃.

#centerparcs was läuft bei denen denn falsch?
Tagesbesuch, warum ist egal.
Ticket für den Parkplatz muss online im Vorfeld gekauft werden. Alle Angaben sind erforderlich: Name, Anschrift, E-Mail, Telefon. *danke an meine #fake Identität*
Vor Ort: Reservierungen für Aktivitäten (bowlen, schwimmen....) nur per #App nach Registrierung.
Tisch im Restaurant reservieren. Klar, nur per App.
Essen bestellen: bitte nutzen sie den Qr-code am Tisch. Bezahlen können sie dann wenn sie fertig sind mit dem essen ebenfalls über den qr-code.
Mögliche Bezahloptionen sind #gpay und #PayPal.
Der button für das Trinkgeld ist automatisch bei 10% gesetzt.
Wofür Trinkgeld? ICH müsste Geld bekommen, weil ich alles selbst machen muss.
Ich musste leider Personal anfordern, da ich keine der Bezahloptionen habe. -
I'm still using my old #Google #Pixel 4a 5G as my daily driver. Due to security concerns I'm going to flash a custom #ROM. Question is: Which one?
Currently I'm considering either #Pixelbuilds or #LineageOS 23 (with #Android 16).I need banking apps to work and would love to be able to use #GPay. Also, my battery lasts about 1-1.5 days and I'd love to keep it that way.
What would you do?

#Google is some sneaky bastards..
I have never put my money on my #phone. To me, it just wasnt ever a good idea.
So Im on a website paying for something random.. I click pay now.. it spins and then I get a popup about #gpay and accept the terms.. umm no.. and then the site processes my card.
Thats some bs there..

Anyone ever successfully added a payment method to GPay in Japan on an Android phone? Please, enthrall me with your acumen.

LONDON
My packing list for this short trip to the U.K. did not include any plastic cards with embedded electronics, because London was one of the earlier cities in the world to grasp that you can persuade people to take transit if you will just shut up and take their money right before they board instead of first asking them to buy a reloadable transit fare card.
By “money” I mean the kind embedded in people’s credit cards, both those that include NFC contactless payments and those stored in such apps as Apple Pay, Google Wallet (formerly Google Pay, formerly Android Pay, formerly Google Wallet) and Samsung Pay.
Transport services in London have accepted tap-to-pay since 2012, so when I arrived here Monday I only had to hold my phone above the NFC terminal at a faregate for the Elizabeth Line to start paying my fare. Waving my phone over another faregate when I exited completed the transaction; the only hard part in between was not falling asleep on the train.
My previous business travel to a city with a subway connection to its international airport, my too-brief visit to Chicago a month ago, treated me to the same convenience–CTA has welcomed NFC payments since 2013.
But when I land at Dulles this afternoon and take Metro home, I’ll use a proprietary SmarTrip card that cost $2 to buy sometime years ago. WMATA does now support phone payments, but only via its own app–and as I’ve found out the hard way, you can’t move a SmarTrip card that still costs $2 even if bought right in the agency’s app to a new Android phone if your old Android phone dies.
Transit apps don’t have to incorporate that defect, but too many of them ship with other problems–chief among them, not letting the user select a payment method already saved in Apple Pay or Google Wallet.
Fortunately, WMATA’s can-do general manager Randy Clarke seems to have realized that Metro has created a payments problem for itself with this longstanding setup. At September’s WMATA board meeting, Clarke said he wants to see Metro support tap-to-pay by the time WorldPride Washington DC draws visitors to the D.C. area next May for the 50th anniversary of Pride celebrations here.
Making a subway or bus ride the same no-new-app, no-new-card experience as booking an Uber would be an enormously customer- and visitor-friendly move by Metro.
On that note, I’m obliged to disclose that I’m here courtesy of an Uber-paid press trip for Tuesday’s Go-Get Zero sustainability event here, which included generous Uber credits to get around the city. I’m further obliged to report that spending so much time sitting in London traffic in Ubers, even at no cost to me, was one of the better advertisements for transit that I’ve seen in a while.

Interesting. #GooglePay, or #GPay doesn't apparently have a customer viewable transaction ledger that allows a user to see what transactions they have performed, or not. Perhaps they have an audit log they can show regulators? I don't know. The 'reason' I'm given is that they can't get that information from my bank. I'm not asking them to pull the information from my bank, just looking for the information the platform should (and most likely is) record of my transaction(s).

Schnell ist die #Hanseatic ja: Mittlerweile alles freigeschaltet (App, Zugang, Wunsch-PIN für #Kreditkarte ) und auch schon im digitalen Wallet (#GPay) hinterlegt. Nächste Woche kommt dann wohl auch die Plastikkarte...

BARCELONA–Hola desde MWC! I’m here for my 10th time to cover the giant tech event formerly known as Mobile World Congress. I’m here through Thursday morning, which the past nine years of covering MWC have taught me will be barely enough time to take in the show and probably not enough time for Barcelona tourism.
Before I left, I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers sharing my notes on two potential alternatives to Intuit’s Mint: Quicken Simplifi and Monarch Money.
2/20/2024: A Lifeline for Low-Income Households Is Available After the ACP, AARP
I had been meaning to pitch my editor at AARP after catching up with her at CES, but she e-mailed me first to ask if I could bang out an explainer of the government broadband subsidy still taking applicants now that money is running out on the Affordable Connectivity Program. Since I’m writing this from Spain, I’ll also note that AARP published a Spanish version of my post (fortunately, without relying on my own Duolingo Spanish).
2/22/2024: Most TikTok Users, Even Younger Ones, Rarely Post Videos, PCMag
I got an advance look at yet another Pew Research Center study of social-media usage, and this one surfaced some surprising trends about TikTok use that I thought worth highlighting.
2/23/2024: Google Pay to Be Replaced by Google Wallet in Another Payment App Reorg, PCMag
I had to set aside packing for MWC Thursday when I saw that Google had once again reshuffled its mobile-payments app lineup. Writing this post took me down a memory lane lined by the wrecks of bad corporate judgment, and not just from Google–in retrospect, it remains dumbfounding that carriers thought they could sell their customers on a payment platform they controlled, and that they then named it “Isis” just in time for that word to become indelibly associated with a terrorist death cult.

Oh FFS Google! Like your myriad of messaging solutions I doubt anyone knew what the difference between wallet and pay were anyway. Why don't you just buy PayPal and use that? Then you can get busy merging PayPal and Venmo... you could call it PayMo!

Three weekends ago, my phone did something weird when I tried using it to pay for a few farmers-market purchases: nothing. The Google Wallet app functioned like usual when I opened it and picked the credit card I use for everyday spending, but then tapping the phone to the NFC reader on a merchant’s credit-card terminal yielded no response.
Since all my cards have NFC built-in and since I had my wallet on me, I didn’t waste time trying to debug the problem and just fished out the physical card to complete the purchase. And then I spent a couple of weeks ignoring the problem while it failed to go away on its own.
Venting about this issue on a chat thread with other tech journalists surfaced a troubleshooting suggestion I should have thought to test on my own: see if other apps using the phone’s NFC radio work. I first remembered that I have one weird transit app that solely exists to top up Dublin’s stored-value Leap card, then was relieved to see the app detect the card I’d collected two summers ago when I tapped it to the back of the phone.
Likewise, Metro’s SmarTrip app responded to a tap of my own card. And then on Friday, the Epic Pass app on my phone (yes, I finally got that activated) functioned properly as a wireless, inside-a-ski-jacket lift ticket. So the NFC radio on this phone was clearly fine.
What else could it be? Google’s r/GooglePixel forum surfaced posts reporting similar problems, and one not only reassured me that I wasn’t uniquely snakebit but pointed to a specific remedy that I’ve since seen suggested elsewhere: deleting the cache of the system-level NFC Service app.
Following that required a deeper dive than usual into Android’s Settings app: Tap Apps, tap the “See all” link below the list of recently-opened apps, tap the vertical-ellipsis button at the top right and select “Show system,” then scroll down to select “Nfc Service” (yes, that abbreviation for “Near Field Communication” should be capitalized), then tap “Storage & cache,” then tap “Clear cache.”
“Trash cache” is an old tech-support trick that seems like it shouldn’t work anymore–shouldn’t apps be sufficiently self-aware to know when they’re ingesting corrupted temporary data?–and yet it seems to have worked in this case. Will the fix stick? I sure hope so, at least until the next time Google indulges in yet another mobile-payment-apps reorg.

Nachdem die #Amazon #Kreditkarte demnächst bei mir ausläuft, teste ich derzeit die #comdirect debit über #Gpay - läuft soweit gut. Als "Backup" (leider von der gleichen Bank) habe ich noch die Visa credit der comdirect.
Eventuell mal die Karte von #Eventim anschauen (sobald Amazon aus der Schufa draußen ist) - ist quasi #Advanzia mit Lastschrifteinzug. -
Wieso zum Henker kann man bei #GPay zwei unterschiedliche Zahlungsprofile haben? Natürlich müssen abgelaufene Kreditkarten in beiden Profilen erneuert werden. Natürlich findet man die zwei Zahlungsprofile erst, nachdem man ewig sucht, weil man ja gerade die Kreditkarte änderte, aber in Google Play immer noch die falsche angezeigt wird... 🤬

In some sense, getting rid of GPay is easy: just stop using it. That said, the little “GPay” button is right there on nearly every web store and app. It’s easy to forget and tap it by accident, especially when that’s the payment method I used in the past. To help with this, I thought I’d look up all the places I’ve used GPay online, but I can’t. Google tracks my payments to them, payments to other Google users, and NFC payments (helpfully in three different places), but I can’t find anywhere that lists all purchases. I could just delete my GPay account entirely, but then I can’t purchase anything from Google, which is unfortunately not an option for me. I suppose I’ll just have to be stubborn and vigilant. As for the convenience factor, I think I’ll start using #BitWarden to store my credit cards, since I already trust them with my passwords.

I have mixed feelings about Google Pay. The dream behind this product is to make wallets obsolete, to make payments trivial across every app, and to protect banking details from third parties. For me, GPay can’t replace my wallet, which makes the NFC payment feature worthless. The online benefits are actually pretty nice, though. My main objection is that the purpose of GPay is not to help me. The design of the app makes it clear: Google’s priority is to access my purchase and banking records, to use that knowledge to build out their profile of me which they share with third parties, and to push me ads, coupons, and promotions. They’re trying to pull the same trick the banks did, to intermediate every purchase so they can get a cut and access valuable financial data. But why should I participate? I get so little out of it.

Die Zahlung mit #Google Wallet wird einfacher. Ohne #NFC könnt Ihr nun den QR-Code mit dem Smartphone scannen und mit #GPay bezahlen. https://winfuture.de/news,137117.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

Sono un rompi coglioni lo so ma torno su un argomento che trovo assurdo! Possibile che di tre banche che ho e tre carte che ho tutte con #nfc non ci sia modo di pagare tramite l'nfc dello #smartphon #android senza per forza appoggiarsi a #gpay & company? Non esiste neppure un app che mi clona il sensore nfc della carta?

@neil @Edent From what I've seen Google #Gpay is supported on #lineageos (might need to register your device id via https://lineageos.org/Google-Play-Certification/ to get access to the Google App Store and ensure the bootloader is "locked" and "root access" apps are installed). No guarantees though!
