Issue with Google wallet and Home control lockscreen shortcut

Dudu Joseph

So, I am using a Nothing Phone 2 on NothingOS2.5.2. On my initial boot, my Phone 2 had Google wallet as one of my lockscreen shortcut. I had however uninstalled Google wallet as I was not using it at the time. But upon reinstalling Google wallet recently, I am no longer able to find Google wallet on the lockscreen shortcut options.

Also, the Home controls option on the Lockscreen Shortcut has been disabled for some reason too.

Both Google Wallet and Google home apps are working perfectly fine and are up to date as well. It’s just the issue with the lockscreen shortcut.

Also, Google wallet shortcut is showing for the double press power button gesture shortcut, but both it and Home controls have been disabled at the Double Press button gesture too.

I have attached screenshots below.

Anybody having similar issues ? Hello ?

Dudu Joseph Are all your apps up to date? If this issue still persists after double checking everything is updated, and you have done a reboot then I’d suggest providing further feedback via Settings > System > Feedback.

Dudu Joseph

Yes. All apps and the OS are up to date. I have tried the reboot, as well as clearing of caches. But to no avail.

I’ll raise this issue in the feedback as well.

Same problem here too. OS 2.5.2 on Phone (1). Wallet no longer available in the shortcuts and no longer working as payment with the phone. All up to date, so now what?

Same issue about google home on phone(2)… i’ve found a workaround to re-enable it. you need an app that can be added to device controls like Tasker or Quick Device Controls. So…

Steps

press on quick setting “Device Control”
on top-right press 3dot and then “Add app” and confirm
choose the other installed app (not google home) and press save at the next screen (if asked)
go to lockscreen settings and now you can choose “Device controls” option
after set, press again on the quick toggle (you can long-press on new button on lockscreen if you wish)
on top-center you will see the name of the app thas was opened (i think you see google home, but not 100% for sure), press on that name and you will see a dropdown menu, choose THE OTHER APP
press again the 3dot on top-right and then “Remove app” and confirm
now you have only google home app on lock screen and you can uninstall the other app

Be careful, if you change the option on lockscreen you need to re-add the other app from step 2

CarloHD This works for me as well.

Thanks for the workaround !

CarloHD but, what about Google Wallet…?😕

CarloHD thanks, I downloaded “quick device controls” since Tasker is a paid app (just want to get device controls back quick), then I added the app in device controls and was able to readd Device Controls back to lock screen shortcuts. After it was successfully back on lock screen shortcut I went back into device controls, made sure to click on the middle pulldown menu (should show Google home app by default and selected ‘remove app’ from three-dot menu, then uninstalled “quick device controls” as I no longer needed the app.

All good now, but weird we have to do it this way, normal user is not going to figure this out on their own and just give up.

Nav it’s an issue with Android per my understanding and particular within India as Google wallet is not a payment service here. It seems to be working well in countries where Google wallet is the established payment service from Google (not GPay). I don’t suppose there’s a workaround available, well atleast until Wallet turns into a payment service.

Nav I don’t currently use it, so I’ve never looked for a fix/workaround

Nav Not 100% sure , but I think Google Pay is the app to use in India
