Google wallet support sucks!


Recommended Posts

about two months ago i started seeing an error every time i would try to make a purchase in the google play store, saying to wait 24 hours and try again, after about a week trying, i called google play support and they directed me to google wallet support, which they told me my account has been blocked, the first dude told me he would send me an email with instructions how to fix it, i waited and the email he sent said pretty much to try again in 24 hours....

i called again and this time around they told me i needed to verify my account, to my surprise it was asking me for a scan of my driver's license and utility bill, i was like, "whats this bull$h!7?

anyway i submitted the proof, 5 days later nothing, i called again they said they didn't receive the info, i resubmitted the info, waited 2 weeks, tried to access from the desktop website and it shows me my info, but can't add any form of payment, i have like $30 google credit that is greyed out, called today and the account still "flagged" and the support dude says only tier 2 support can look into that and they don't have a contact #, everything is managed through email.

has anybody come across this bull*** with google wallet?

being that their support team is USELESS, who else is there to contact?

i had no issues before and have had my google account for many years, i had my credit card setup as primary form of payment but apparently now everything goes through wallet first. tried to different debit cards from different banks and won't let me add them.

Yup. I've had a problem a while back with Gwallet. If you restore your device while logged into wallet, it won't allow you to login on your freshly installed device. Had to call Google. They told me to see if it gets fixed in 24 hrs. In the mean time, I restored it again, did all my updates, tried it again with no luck. The next day, I woke up, tried it again. Let me Login no problems. Wheather Google did something, or there was a "timeout" on the NFC chip, I don't know. It's fixed and I'm happy.

    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
