    If we could fix the issue with non working Google Wallet/Google Pay, that would be great.

    But it is also worrying that there there seems to be only Apple and Google Pay in Europe - no alternative solution for wireless paying.

    Other than that, Lineage OS on my 9T feels great. Battery life got almost doubled and it feels great to use a device with all current security patched installed. Next step would be to use a completely degoogled version with only FOSS software installed - just for some app there are no real alternatives available: Banking app, Fitness watch app, Carsharing app etc

      Ironically, I always end up rooting lineage just to pass the security checks to make Google pay work. Smooth one Google

      What even is the purpose of Google Pay? I don’t know anyone who actually uses it but some people act like its a necessity? We have cards that you can just tap these days. Isnt that making Google and Apple Pay useless?

        The point is not needing your card. Where I’m from using apple/google/Samsung pay is very popular. Many young people don’t even regularly carry their wallet.

        It allows you to pay with your phone? I don’t even carry a wallet around anymore, just my phone.

        I don’t know where you’re from, but in the UK it’s pretty common to pay with Google Pay or Apple Pay. Even had the advantage of allowing you to pay a higher amount than you could with a contactless card.

      Check out /e/os, the only problem I found is it is more difficult to interact with some google services and others are not supported but you can always use a browser to access them
