The app works fine although as of today it's still tagged Beta in the Google Play store, which may give some people pause.
NFC on the other hand is so unreliable as to moot the use of Google Pay, which is unfortunate. I really prefer tap-to-pay over anything else, but not at the expense of making people in line behind me wait as I try various workarounds like toggling NFC. I realize there's nothing you can do about it - my grumbling is more a warning to folks who (like me) may have used it previously on the Pixel 2 and loved it. It's problematic in the Pixel 4. :shrug:
- OvermindDL1 6y agoWait, is this why my tap to pay mysteriously stopped working in the past few months on my Pixel 4?!
- technofiend 6y agoMaybe? It's been in the press for a while now. https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/10/26/tap-to-pay-issues-with-google-pay-appear-to-be-affecting-phones-from-google-oneplus-and-others/ https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/10/26/tap-to-pay-issues-w... The work arounds seem to be: 0 - Remove any skins / bumpers / cases from the device. 1 - Lock and unlock the device. 2 - Toggle NFC mode. 3 - Reboot the phone. I've seen some speculation that on the Pixel 4 it could also be due to some flexing in the case. During a two week period where I couldn't find my wallet I spent a lot of time trying to make it work because of Chase's allowing tap-to-authenticate on their ATMs. Out of 100+ tries using those work arounds and several different ATMs (in case that was the issue) it worked once. I ordered a tile for my wallet since I can no longer rely on my Pixel 4 as a replacement credit card.
