Lately (last few weeks or so) my Pixel 6 Pro has developed an incredibly frustrating contactless payments problem.
Out of the blue it will become really, really slow to respond to tapping for a payment, taking 5 -20 seconds to actually open the Google Wallet/Pay app and do it’s thing. If I tap and it’s not immediately opened I’ve tried to open the app via the quick tile but the button is non-responsive. Eventually it’ll open and then I can pay.
Once it’s acting like this it’ll do it indefinitely, but I can fix it by restarting the phone. Then payments (and opening the app) are near instant as they should be.
Anyone else seen anything like this? Any solutions?
I had the same thing. It seemed to be a couple times spread throughout the week and it hasn’t happened in about two weeks.
At the time opening the wallet app seemed to make it work. But not sure what was causing it all of a sudden.
The only thing I could think is that I may have been using battery saver at the time, or at some point that day. Do you know if you had been?
I think I may have had battery saver on at some point in the time since it was last reset but not today no.
I don’t ever open Google pay or whatever it’s called these days.
I just hold it to the contract point and it asks for my fingerprint instantly.
This bug was happening doing that. I never usually open the app either. I was having to because of this bug to try fix it.
My 6 pro stops responding at all for contactless payments until I restart. Happens once every couple weeks.
Never had this with my Pixel 7a. Possible you might have some app interfering with it?
Pixel 5 and mine was missing contactless payment randomly and often, tech support unhelpful. They said it was the terminal. But since last update, no problems so far.
When was that update?
5-August, it just says “version 13”. But that definitely made some change that fixed the issue for my phone. Despite the support guys’ insistence that it wasn’t the phone.
