I'm just excited we've found something new to argue about. EDIT: great, new page. To contribute: -I use the 12-hour clock format because I'm a giant baby -I've never had trouble switching between am/pm when setting an alarm, because I don't have big, fat fingers -Google should stop making new messaging apps every year XIII fucked around with this message at 15:43 on May 25, 2016 |

My biggest issue with Android Pay is lack of NFC support. The only places I've been able to use it is Best Buy and Trader Joe's. The places where I make the most in store purchases, my local grocery store and Target, do not have NFC support. I tried to use it for a purchase at Macy's recently, but it just wouldn't work. The sales person told me that if she could rip out all of the terminals and throw them in the river, she would. She said they hardly ever worked. It also acts screwy it you have a trusted device. Since you hardly ever have to enter a passcode to get into your phone, Android Pay silently fails if you haven't unlocked with a passcode recently. If I want it to reliably work, I have to wake my phone, lock it with the lock icon, and then unlock with a passcode. The app should just recognize that you haven't unlocked with a passcode recently and ask you for it in the app rather than just failing. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:20 on May 25, 2016 |

Is there a list of deals or perks for using android pay because so far it seems like it's a huge pain in the rear end with little to no benefit compared to using a card.

Are band cards with contactless (NFC) payments a thing in the US yet, or not? I'm guessing not since you're only just starting to get chip and PIN.

It would be worth it to me if acceptance was higher because I could lower the number of cards I carry. I could drop down to just carrying my debit card and one credit card. Also, I would love to be able to use it with gas pumps since they are the thing most likely to have skimmers, but I don't see that being added any time soon. chippy posted:Are band cards with contactless (NFC) payments a thing in the US yet, or not? I'm guessing not since you're only just starting to get chip and PIN. My Amex card has been able to do tap and pay forever. The issue is with the POS terminals lacking support. I got plenty of ways to pay without swiping or inserting my card, but the chances of the retailer being able to support those is like 20%. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:35 on May 25, 2016 |

Chip and signature is barely happening too unless you are a huge retailer. There's a huge backlog of system certifications and many places haven't been able to roll out chip equipment or software. Gee, the credit card companies are ones controlling the certification pace and they are the ones that benefit in the cases of fraud if chip isn't implemented at a retailer. Convenient.

Get new 6P. Do the whole transfer apps and settings from previous phone thing. It says its transferring app x of x. I put phone down for half an hour, come back...and the transferring notification is gone, and there's no new apps installed. :/

It likely decided it needed a new version of play services to install apps, so a ton probably aborted. Then the play store itself decided to update while it was installing stuff, killing a bunch more pending items. Recovering a phone to a known state is still an utter shitshow. If it works 100% right for you, start playing the lottery because you are blessed by some deity.

Credit card terminals with chip readers seem to take forever and a day to process a charge, and also lots of terminals with chip readers now also take NFC at least as far as I've encountered. So if I can use my phone then I will.

Once your lovely terminals get as fast as the rest of the world you'll like chip and pin It is really good, promise Then proper contactless will blow your mind

I will say that the chip readers don't have to take as long as they do. A local restaurant has a brand new POS with a chip reader and they only have to insert it for like a second for it to register. The biggest issue is with the way they are setup in a lot of places. Most places require the sale to be complete before you remove the card (and some before you even insert it) whereas you could just swipe any time with the strip and have your card out and away by the time the sale completes. It's only like 20 extra seconds a transaction, but that adds up if there is a line.

Yeah, it seems like there's less time between putting the card in and the sale completing but since you can just put the card back in your wallet while it's processing if you swipe it, it seems longer since you're sitting there watching it.

What's the consensus on adoptable storage in 6.0? I decided to throw a 64GB Samsung Evo card in my Moto X Pure. All my photos and music are backed up in the cloud, but I really wanted to download a bunch of my Amazon movies to the phone. So far everything seems to be working as advertised, but it's only been a day. Anyone have long term success?

In Europe they are fast and excellent. Yeah. Wave card. If it's more than your set wave limit (default $100), enter pin. All works fine and instant in Australia. Then again, Australia had had universal bank card payments in even tiny merchants and vending machines with swipe-and-pin directly debiting your bank account since the 80s. Thank you, only having four major banks to coordinate.

Pretty well the same in Canada I believe, though without the Wave card. After setting up payment processing systems for mostly US customers I'm amazed at all the little weird lovely banks they have, and they're >all< credit card issuers. It feels like it's easier to start a bank there than a religion.
