Adding to the MRT/bus ezlink tapping issue, I'm literally taking the train as I type(joyride to sort out my phone's ezlink connecting problem). I've downloaded Google Pay SG, and yes it still doesn't work. It vibrates upon tap, but only successful after a few tries. I've tried disabling/enabling original Google pay, I've even given both apps full permissions even for things they don't use, I've tried opening both apps, then scan, I've even tried multiple positions of the phone to see if it's a NFC position thing, still I find myself standing at the train station damn long and I could only get in after a few tries, and it approves...AT RANDOM,I can't replicate the success on demand. I must have spent so much time at a few stations getting on and off I think the uncle starting to think I'm some suspicious character.
And then, in the midst of my frustration,I went to buy a drink at 7-11, and as usual, paying with my phone for regular cashier services went through without a hitch.
Zzz...hope this gets fixed soon, this never happened on my Pixel 2XL
Latest update: I just spent 15 minutes tapping my phone nonstop at Bukit Batok MRT trying to exit, I must have gotten multiple stares from passerbys, I finally got out and again, no clue why it worked when it did.
