When using Google Wallet over NFC, the following payment terminals ...

... work:
  • REA T7
  • Verifone P400

...do not work:
  • Ingenico Lane/5000
  • CCV Pad Next

What could be the reason?

Thanks!
 
Problem Resolved - Solution Identified

The issue appeared to be my assumption that I needed to hold the top part of my phone to the payment terminal, as I had done with my previous phone.

This method worked with some payment terminals, which seemed to have a stronger capacity to read the phone’s NFC chip from a greater distance. However, it did not work with all.

By holding the center of the phone’s back to the payment terminal, every terminal was able to read the NFC chip of my phone successfully.
