HTC’s Evo 4G LTE may be our top smartphone pick on Sprint, but Google Wallet users have had no end of trouble on the device. As of last night, however, that may be over. Phandroid says it’s gotten multiple reports that Wallet service is back up, with users able to add card information, sign up, or make payments. We haven’t been able to get Wallet working here in the office even with the latest updates, but we’ve reached out to Sprint and Google for comment.
