This is currently the problem I am having. Wallet had been working fine up until today. I decided to root my GN (unlocking wiped the phone), and now when I try to launch the app for the first time, it just stays at "Initializing"--though it doesn't freeze, as the circle continues to spin. I've tried reinstalling, rebooting the phone, but nothing will get me past "Initializing"

I never changed from stock recovery/ROM (on 4.0.2), I simply unlocked to gain root access so nothing else has changed on my device.

I don't know what to do :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acatabian:
is there a way to remove google wallet? it came pre-installed when i flashed the gapps after flashing a rom.

im intrested in spending the $10 and then getting it uninstalled?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r|ktk|ng:
i know and im a bit apprehensive about paying $15 for the service, loading it up and paying all the transfer fees to find out that i cant do it, just to have a "cool" feature on my phone. don't get me wrong i cant wait for it to be here in the UK (hopefully for the Olympics over the summer) but think paying about $20 to find out it doesnt work is a bit much for me!

the other way i have heard work is to use a pre-pay mastercard that can be brought over the counter in most US stores. but you obviously need to be there to do this lol!

anyone fancy helping your british cousins (special relationship and all that ;))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Good to know, but pity it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maresch:
Ok it doesnt work. Just tried to figure that out. Anyway Ive just managed to get my GN unlocked and rooted. By using market enabler I´m now able to spend 10$ somewhere here in Germany. To bad that there is no other way to get it topped up with another cc except a US one.

How does it work with the Gift cards. For example I buy one from Macys. Will this credit be added to my Google Debit PayPass, or can I only pay at Macys? I was just thinking of buying a gift card on ebay, get it delivered and just use gift cards to make PayPass payments. Will it work or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paverdude:
Worked at Petrocanada, ran market enabler, then G wallet, entred my pin and used at the till got a pop, chips and choc bar, all on google

guy at the till thought i was riping him off till the recipt cace out :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Don't know if this is going to help anybody... but I'm going to post anyway. I downloaded the newest version of google wallet (found in the OP of this thread) and installed it form SD. Then I set up my account and it was stuck at "verifying account status" or whatever for like an hour or so. So I tried a bunch of different things, but what worked for me was:

- Resetting info/data from settings screen

- Reinstalling from SD card

- Moving to system/app and renaming "Wallet.apk"

After I did that... it took about 30 seconds to "verify my account status" or whatever, and I got my $10! This is just for anybody who can't get past that step or is waiting forever for it to verify! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
Google Prepaid

I've read a ton of post looking for my answer and I haven't found it so I'll just ask. Has anyone tried adding funds on top of the $10 Given to you on the prepaid card? That is where my problem lies. My wallet came pre installed on Codenamedroid custom ROM and I have been able to do everything but add more funds. Haven't tried spending the $10 however. My credit and info is good!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dts242:
It's really easy to fix. Clear app data, uninstall it, then reinstall the apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
I did so and it updated my wallet, everything is fine but I still can't add funds over the $10. I just used this card online and I tried 3 others. I do not have a citi card, however. I called customer service and they thought It might be a apk problem. I think vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
i dont want to mess anything up, so is this what i need to do before flashing a new rom? should i make a backup of my current wallet and data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Futur Innovations:
So...how do I go about using google wallet to pay at McDonalds? I'm new to this whole NFC thing. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Assuming everything's set up on your phone, wake your phone, open Wallet app and put the password while you are standing in line. You can close the app at that point as long as you get to the counter to pay within the lockout time you set in the settings. When ready to pay you unlock the phone and tap it on the pad. No need to open the app. Just hold it there for a couple seconds till your phone react to it. You will notice it when it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laynee1:
I did everything as said here... It says : Google Wallet is not supported in your country.. Im in Serbia, Telenor opreator
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mister Roberto:
Stopped working

So, Google Wallet on my GSM Galaxy Nexus *was* working (on AT&T), but tonight I was presented with the message that it has not been certified in your country or on your device/carrier. Anyone have any ideas why it stopped working?

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sh0ck:
I did some test tonight, It works for me with the Market Enabler only if I keep my GN into Airplane mode with wifi and NFC ON.

Every Time I turn off the Air plane mode It lock the Google wallet Apps :/

Even if I leave the apps closed...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
would be very appreciative if the OP or anyone read my fun attempt story I posted here

I just didnt want to double post the same thing

any suggestions are obviously welcomed with open arms :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnp357:
NFC delay in process

Is it my device or in general but I've notice that it takes some time (sometime up to 5 minutes in the attempt) for the terminals to recognize my phone when I try to use it. I've only done it 5 times and its quite annoying with all the folks standing behind me. Not sure if anyone else has the same issues. I hope its not a hardware thing.

thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Everytime I have used it. It is instant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Use Market Enabler.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I actually have the Secure Element problem, and I have a Nexus S 4G. Like others with this problem I can click the wallet icon in the top left corner and get the main screen. When I click the menu button I can get to the settings. When I click Reset Wallet a pop up appear that shows 0/73 and says it is reset, but it never gets past 0%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
Me too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BicolXpress:
I tried using but on the terminal it asks for my pin. I entered it but it didn't work. What am i doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ΛCiD:
Failed to add account

I'm on 4.0.3 and rooted, but every time I try and add my account email, it says "Failed to create an account at this time", am I doing something wrong, or is it just the app acting up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
when it did work, for that one time, it was instant.........and it spawned a addiction in me which is now killing me from the inside...........I am seriously considering going to verizon to swap if it i can prove NFC isnt working.......some reps are not too bright with the abilities of phones and if the beam doesnt work I might be able to pull it off
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I am waiting for some news on Secure element error. Any news on that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I have a call into Money Network right now for my NS4G, I read about requesting a master reset back on page 80 or so. They said someone will contact me in 24-48 hours. Another guy with a NS4G called Google today and they said it is a hardware issue, so the guy took it into the Sprint store. I will keep you updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Master reset didn't fix Secure element problem... at least not mine.

I don't believe it is a hardware problem cause someone in the forum was able to go back and made it work again after he got the error message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferdeenandxda:
Is it possible to install with a galaxy ace phone???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
When I say Master Reset I am referring to resetting the Google Wallet app. From what I read they have to reset it remotely using your IMEI (MEID). The rep did ask for my IMEI and gmail email address.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I see... interesting. Well, I sure hope they can fix it for you, so there will be a known fix for the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I am wondering if this is a Google Wallet + ICS problem. I do not see anyone complaining of this problem prior to about November 2011. Technically there is no officially supported NFC + ICS phone out right now, correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I believe so. That may also be the reason that we are not getting a lot of support from Google on this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
Sprint store was no help for the other guy with the NS4G... they offered him a refurb and said they could not explain the problem. Still waiting for my call. Sigh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
My situation MIGHT be unique, not sure, any input would be great...

I first unlocked and rooted my Verzion Galaxy Nexus, it's running 4.0.2 stock rom still.

I installed the Wallet APK (previous posted version) and install went fine. Set up an account and it listed my $10 on the pre-paid card.

Later on I went to a Tim Hortons and decided to try it out to see if it would work. I put it against the pad, it opened wallet and I put in my pin and it said sent.

Now under transactions it doesn't list the location or the amount of the transaction and my wallet balance is still at $10.00. IT DOES SAY A TRANSACTION DID OCCUR THOUGH!

Now few days later, the transaction history STILL lists blank for amount charged and location. I called google's pre-paid card helpline and they said nothing is showing up on their end, so the transaction didn't go through at all, even though the phone said sent!

My real problem is though that SINCE I "paid" that one night, the next time I went to that Tim Hortons (same register), the wallet app didn't open. I held the phone up against the machine for at least 5-10 seconds and nothing came up (NFC IS enabled under settings).

I figured it was a fluke and another time I tried to use it at a 711. Same thing happened, put it against the machine, didn't register anything on the phone.

I decided to reset the wallet app (from Wallet's settings menu), uninstalled it, then reinstalled wallet with the NEW APK and it logged back in and everything seemed fine.

Tried it again tonight at ANOTHER Tim Horton's location and again, SAME problem, nothing comes up on the screen when I place the phone against the machine.

Did I trip my security element? I can get into the wallet application just fine. I think I recall seeing an error code after the 1st time I used wallet but I can't recall if it was the security element. I figured if it was the security element, that the phone would always display it when I entered the application.

Is there anyway to check if I tripped the security element? Anyone know what could cause the application to not pull up when placed against the machine?

Sorry for the long post, just read through the majority of the thread and can't seem to figure out what went wrong with my scenario.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
what I want you to check since you might be in the same boat as me is to uninstall the app and then reinstall it using the app from this thread, do not use titanium backup to restore data. Log in and apply for the debit card, if you see it then reboot the phone. Then check it again and see if the card still appears or if a error comes up. If you have a titanium backup and restore it to view the information, you can reboot and check for a error the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
That's what I did, when I uninstalled it, I reinstalled it using the .apk file on the first post.

Relogged back into wallet, my transaction is still in the history, my 10 dollars balance is still there, everything looks like it's fine. I don't get any error codes or any messages. But everytime I try to use it at a paypass location, nothing comes up on the screen! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
and have you rebooted at all after the re installation and seeing the card and funds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
Yes, numerous times. The only card I have though is the google pre-paid card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
The secure element not responding error won't let you open the app. When you click on it it brings up the error and force closes basically.

You would know if you had it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I would like to add that I have the Nexus 4G, and by pressing the search button I can bypass the Secure Element message, but when I try to reset the app it says it has been reset but it is at 0% (0/72) when it closes. Like the message says it is not responding. I am still waiting for my Google Wallet reset phone call that Money Network said will come in 24-48 hours. I'm at 30 some hours now...

The soon to be OTA 4.0.4 was just leaked for my phone, but here I sit on Gingerbread waiting. Hopefully the official OTA for my phone will result in an officially supported ICS Google Wallet update that will benefit all of us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
Right, that's what I figured. Just could've sworn I had an error message in wallet the second time I tried to use it. Just can't remember what it said. Now I get nothing so I hope you're right about it being fine. I just wish there was a way you could check to see if it tripped or not and be 100% sure.

Still have no idea why it never responds anymore to the paypass machines, makes me think the security element did trip. =\

You guys on the newer apk, do you open wallet prior to holding up the phone? How long do you, on average, have to hold up the phone before it responds?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
On average? Maybe 2 seconds, if that...usually its almost instantaneous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
wallet worked for me on gummy nex 0.6.6, i reset the app, and flashed cm9 kang, the app loaded up and had my google card, with the 8 dollars or what ever i had left, but when i put my phone to a terminal, nothing happens

any thoughts? =/

also using franco.kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
How many times did you use it before? Once? Sounds like you're experiencing the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
yupp, once. i used it at 711 and now it wont work at the same place!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
Check transaction history and see if it lists the amount and location. Mine shows no dollar amount or location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
Money Network called about 20 minutes ago, gave me some steps to try and reset it but no luck. They basically told me I need a new phone to use Google Wallet. :( Hopefully someone can come up with a way to convince the Secure Element to clear its settings. I even tried to enter the PIN incorrectly to get locked out and it didn't work.

The question is, was it Samsung or Google's fault? They would both probably say it was my fault for trying to modify the software on my phone. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
nothing, after refreshing it a bunch of times, wifi/3g/4g it displays nothing,

on my balance tho, it shows the $8.97
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
Strange, mine still shows $10.00

Seems like most people have security element issues or paypass machines not communicating with the phone after the first transaction.

Damn Verizon for making this such a huge problem! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koszor:
agreed, i started a thread in the q/a forum to see if we can get any feedback on this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
You CAN open the app with the error message. Just ignore the error and click on the blue background. That will just close the message, then you click on Wallet icon at the top left and it should let you in and you can get to the settings and stuff, but it doesn't really do any good anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
No error message comes up that I have to by-pass though, it opens normally, that's why I'm confused. I saw an error message before but don't recall what it was. Maybe a security element issue, not sure. =\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
well to clarify on my situation, it worked one time with gummynex 0.6.6 at CVS. Then I decided i wanted to try out AOKP and a few other roms since I only had the phone for like a day and a half at that point. When I tibu'd the wallet, it came up fine and showed the correct value on the card AND the transaction history clearly showing my purchase at CVS. But it would no longer work at CVS, and when I tried at mcdonalds it acted as if it sent the funds but nothing came up on the cashier end. upon rebooting the phone, I got a nice error message saying my card has been removed by my bank and to contact money networks. if you try to remove and add the card you get error adding card please try again later..............but i can still see that one transaction :).......yay
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KassaNovaKaine:
I'm sort of in the same situation as you. My first time using Wallet was on stock, and setting up the card went smoothly. So did my first transaction which was at a McDonald's. I then moved onto AOKP, but not before resetting Wallet and uninstalling it. Since Wallet comes pre-packaged with AOKP, I simply entered my information and everything was back on my phone.

Today I tried paying with Wallet on the same exact machine I used the first time. Wallet was stuck on "Sending..." for a good 10-15 seconds. Luckily my cashier was away gathering my food so he didn't see me fumbling around wondering what was going on. He came back and simply cancelled the CC transaction (he probably figured it was an error on his machine) and then took my money.

I'm not sure if this was a one time fluke, but I'd rather not risk having a potentially embarrassing situation on my hand. I rebooted my phone, I can get into the Wallet app and tinker with all the settings and whatnot without issue. Everything seems fine. I only wish there was a way to test if this thing is still working, without having to go out and buy something on the spot.

Anyone have similar situations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TofuWarrior:
After reading up on some of the ROMs available for the GNex, I'm very tempted to jump to one. I'm currently stock, rooted, and unlocked. My GW app (most recent apk) has been working flawlessly so far after multiple purchases with it.

What steps should I go through to ensure that GW doesn't screw up when I switch ROMs?

Off topic, recommendations between GummyNex 0.7.0 and Android Revolution HD? I want to lean towards Revolution HD because it says it's all GPU rendered. But I thought ICS was GPU rendered to begin with?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kelvingeorge:
I am on Tranquility Ice and never had a problem with gw. I did a factory reset then then flashed the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
Go and flash a 4.0.3 rom. ARHD is fine and dandy, but .2 is really not the optimized version of ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TofuWarrior:
When you say ".2" are you talking about 4.0.2 or ARHD's verison 2.1.2 (currently 2.1.3)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
4.0.2. 10char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
see so now I am a bit more worried. I ordered another phone and will be reselling my current model and came up with the conclusion that because i didnt reset wallet prior to swapping roms that it was the culprit. But since you said you pretty much did that, and then some, and still seem to have a relatively similar problem as I do, I am not too sure how to go about getting away from this in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
mister roberto. how is this going for you? any news to share for other att gsm google wallet users?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bplewis24:
Kassa should reset wallet, uninstall and install the .apk and see if it helps.

1.1 r48 v4 is out. Anyone know if it's safe to update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azmuh:
Hi

i am on AT&T and have an GSM Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 which is rooted....

but whenever i install it, it says it's not supported.

will i need to install a custom rom then???

haven't been able to find whats wrong, i have tried market enabler and that doesn't help all google wallet in the market are not available
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belair56:
I updated from market. Updated fine, monies fine. I haven't had a chance to use it today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KassaNovaKaine:
Today was a bright side, as I went to a different store and tried buying with Wallet again, on the same exact setup that failed me before -- this time it worked! Not without its own faults however. I got the "reader detected - try again" message twice, but fortunately it worked on the second try. Searching around this seems to be a common problem, but it is said that simply going into the system settings and deleting data/cache for Wallet, and signing back in, will fix that right up.

Now that there's a new update for Wallet though, what are the chances of us Verizon users getting that new .apk anytime soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
I Just purchased a GSM Unlocked GN. I'm in the US. Do I still follow the US instructions, or is that for CDMA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
New update: R48v4.

Upload pending.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
On a side note: I updated to AOKP build 19 a while back and had no issues with the included Google Wallet. This does not mean I recommend people try this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belair56:
Just noticed that under accounts & sync it now includes sync wallet. Interesting, I don't know what it syncs. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwang:
Latest version 1.1-r48v4 working fine with apex rom 1.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yunlin12:
Not certified on stock GSM GN (4.0.2) on T-Mobile(US)?

I have a Galaxy Nexus, stock, on T-Mobile US. I just got the 4.0.2 OTA update this morning. I was able to install apk, but when I launch it, it says that it's not certified for my country and device/carrier yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebe3692:
wait, how do you update from market?? thought this can only be sideloaded???

EDIT: crap, nevermind just realized you are probably using market enabler and not on verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Through titanium back up pro you can force google wallet to show up in the market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chopes:
How to on this? I was thinking about getting the pro version...

I tried downloading the latest APK, it seems corrupt?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebe3692:
oh I tried that and couldn't get it to work. forced market link in titanium, also tried clearing market data and rebooting after that and still wont show up in market.

anyways I just side loaded the new version after doing a wallet reset and after sweating bullets for a couple minutes it loaded up with no SE error and brought up my old balance correctly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] essplode:
I dont really use google wallet that much, but I recently started using a new rom (AOKP M3) and I tried to use google wallet again today. However, it made me set it up again and now I no longer have my $10 google pre-paid card. Shouldn't that be tied in with my account?

Edit: Nvm, I spoke too soon. I opened it up again and chose "add a pre-paid card" and it showed up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Try to install "market enabler"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
i couldnt get my titanium backup to make the wallet visable in market either, but I found a nice workaround. I got appmonster back on my og droid and it actually skipped over verizons little barrier and allowed me to see wallet in the market, and update it, and now it appears in my list and even when i fresh flash a new rom it auto downloads when restoring my account :)
