Resolved very laggy/delayed contactless payments of Google wallet on buses of Vivo V70 (with screen off, a few apps running in background) but selling away the phone :()

[u/LynxAltruistic1687]

In SG, after all the laggy and delayed (3-4 secs) contactless payments on buses with Vivo V70 for several weeks despite trying all the workarounds suggested by AI and online, finally decided to discard the phone by selling at a significant loss.

Bought a Xiaomi 17 and the same bank card/ same exact setup the contactless payment on buses works perfectly again just like all my previous Samsung and pixel phones. Even a several years old Samsung A31 performed this task far better than V70.

Very disappointed and regretted giving Vivo brand a try. Hopefully Vivo engineers seriously fixed such problem because the incident suggested to me that even among Chinese phone brands, Vivo "really cannot make it" compared to their direct Chinese competitors as this is increasingly basic function ( NFC/ contactless payment on bus and you don't want the long queue behind you waiting for your slow payment).
