For the past few weeks, users of the new HTC Evo 4G LTE on Sprint have been unable to get Google Wallet working. It would hang at the ?adding prepaid card? dialog and eventually timeout with a message to try again later. This was verified to be an Evo LTE issue only since modifying the device?s build.prop file to identify it as a Galaxy Nexus would fix the issue.
Lately, however, Wallet changed its behavior and began displaying an error message that seemed more ominous, telling users ?Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier.? The app is then basically dead in the water.
There are currently two rumors as to why this is happening. The first is that Google is working on a fix and this new error message is simply a stop-gap measure until the fix is ready. After all, it?s better to tell the user the app won?t work than to just hang and let the user wonder what?s going on. The second rumor is that Sprint is blocking Google Wallet since they plan to launch their own NFC payment solution called?Touch.?We?re hoping it?s rumor #1 and NOT rumor #2. I don?t like the idea of different payment systems for different carriers.
