Within the Google I/O Google published the third beta of Android QThis causes problems for some people when paying with Google Pay.

Android Police writes that Google Pay is not working properly with the third beta of the upcoming Android version. This refers to a Reddit user who reported an error message when setting up Tap-To-Pay. According to the report, the smartphone has been rooted or modified, which affects this functionality.

As it turns out, it's a problem with SafetyNet. This is a software from Google that finds out whether a device has been rooted or not. Nobody knows why this is the case, since the Redditer's device was not actually rooted. There was a similar problem in the fourth developer preview of Android Pie, which Google fixed before the final release. So I'm optimistic that this will be the case again this year.

Hi

maybe it's not the beta at all. I have a Nokia 7 Plus with the latest Android 9 and since yesterday I have basically stopped paying with Google Pay (stored PayPal account). NFC is switched on, of course, but nothing happens when you try to pay at the checkout terminal (Lidl, Netto and Norma). No peep, no error message, just nothing. I tried restarting the smartphone, clearing the cache of the PayPal and the Google Pay app. No improvement.

Sincerely,
Torsten Holz

Good evening Torsten,

I do believe that the Q-Beta is to blame, as there is a separate error message in Google Pay that you don't seem to have (see screenshot). Nevertheless, thank you for your comment!

Regards
David from TechnikNews
