I previously had Wallet setup (and used it 1 time before) on my Gnex and never cleared the settings within the app before switching ROMs. I decided I wanted to give it a shot again and installed the .apk on my latest ROM. When I launch the app I am getting stuck at "initializing" like everyone else. I know there isnt really a fix for this but I also noticed that, as long as I have Wallet installed, I cannot access the "More" options in Settings under Wireless. If I uninstall Wallet and reboot, the "More" options open just fine.

Any ideas what may be going on here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackdesp:
i read at somewhere that google stores the encrypted information in a different chip independently from OS to complete the transaction. if you don't uninstall the secure layers from that chip and try to install another layers, app completely locks that chip. this is why you have to change your phone to use wallet again. so this chip maybe integrated with the nfc chip and this maybe a security precaution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] refthemc:
So Google Wallet is completing purchases properly with B29 for you? That helps narrow down my issue.

I was in a bit of a rush when typing up that last post, sorry fellas, but let me rephrase what I meant when I said I manually opened it. When I manually opened it, it gave no errors or anything, matter a fact, I tried manually opening it and "tapping the paypass thingy on the register" but still nothing.

Thanks for the response about it working on the AOKP rom p-slim, appreciate it. The only reason I figured it would be a Root or Rom issue was because of the beautifully ugly yellow "Unsupported Device" banner on top of the Wallet app :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
No problem, yes I have used the app many times I actually use it every single day multiple times a day. I can't wait for b30, been hearing good things
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swich2mac:
No dice, that one didn't work either. I enabled T-Mo US prior to installing the new wallet and get the same error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
I'm not sure if wallet pops up in the tmobile market place
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
Does it still work even though at the top it says Unsupported Device. Learn more. ?

I was able to add the prepaid and got $10, haven't had time to try it yet.

Anyone with a LTE gnex file an insurance claim after they got the SE error? Saying the phone was lost or stolen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
You could easily do that but then you're paying $100 just to use Google wallet

Aren't I supposed to call a number when I sell my Galaxy Nexus do remove my Wallet account from my phone?:confused:

Not if I sell my old gnex as a bad esn or part it out. Not morally right perhaps,but I do pay 7$ a month and 99$ for the claim.

I'm sorry I skipped 200 pages but even after searching, I couldn't confirm, is the Secure Element lock-out issue only related to those running a non-stock ROM? I'm running stock everything with root permssions, previously sideloaded 1.1 - R52v7 however after adding funds to my prepaid card the balance never updated...

in talking to google app support yesterday, the current version is R57v2(?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
I've never had a secure element problem and I've used both stock and CM9 ROMs on two GNex's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
You can get SE error on stock or custom rom if you don't reset wallet before wiping data/factor reset your phone. You need to update your app to 1.1-r52v7

You just have to reset your wallet from settings>reset google wallet before you sell your phone. This removes all of your information. You have to call if you get SE error message

I remember someone in here claiming that their phone was rooted but they didn't get the yellow banner, but people were arguing about that being possible.

Just confirming that my phone is also rooted and has never shown the yellow banner, despite the fact that I've updated the application twice and I've used it to pay for McDonalds many times in the past four months.

Only difference I've noticed is that you have to accept a new set of terms and conditions.

This is like the third Wallet update in two months. Maybe they'll launch the global version soon... yeah, right.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] utsutsu:
Does anyone know if it's possible to use funds added to the Google prepaid card in any other way? Ideally, I would like to use the funds to purchase apps from the Play Store, not just buy my daily coffee.

When I try to use the Play Store, it doesn't know anything about my Google Prepaid Card even though it says it's using google wallet at the same email address as the Google Wallet app on my gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdevito:
Yep - I'm in the same boat. Basically when Google Wallet attempts to reach out to Money Network's servers (when you launch the app) your phone is getting stuck and never actually makes any kind of connection - at this point your NFC chip has completely seized. This explains the 'More' menu getting stuck, because NFC is an option in that menu.

To get the 'More' settings back, simply go to apps, then uninstall Wallet, then reboot. Or just force kill it - but frankly the app is useless to us at this point.

I called Google and they told me to get a new phone, I called Money Network and to their credit they tried troubleshooting my phone over a 3 week span but could never actually perform a master reset of my account because as a security fallback the app is blocking access. It really sucks.

Hope that helps.

I'm probably going to do this myself. Or just try to prove the phone isn't working properly. I'm sure I can get it to bootloop somehow :)

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Nope. No dice. Google told me over the phone that this will never change, so I need a new phone.

Nice.

100 bucks is a grip just to get wallet to work. I don't have a lot of places where I live to justify that amount
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdevito:
I don't disagree with you - but it's the principle of the matter. It wasn't a core reason I bought the phone but an added bonus for sure. While on 4.0.2 I used about 5 times a week, it was great. It just burns me up that Google isn't fixing it for Nexus users - after all - we're the ones who root and unlock their phones - which they support. It's BS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cds36:
Agreed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Hey guys, I haven't used Wallet in a long time now and I was just wondering, if I restore the titanium backup that I had from the old days (December) and then update it from the play store, will I get the secure element error? Will I even be able to use it?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackdesp:
I think, reset your wallet first and then restore your apk from TiBu as a precaution. But you uninstalled it without reset already, you will get se error.

Wallet Update on a Verizon LTE phone

Has anyone downloaded and installed the recent update on a Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus? How?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MiK31291:
just tried this on my GNexus with Android 4.0.4 using Market Enabler and setting to T-Mobile [US] and GWallet tells me my device is not suported and closes the app. ive tried uninstalling and re-installing and nothing works :( please help me.

EDIT: also tried Version 1.1 r57v5, but getting same closure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
Yes. In your browser, go to https://play.google.com. If you're logged in, log out. Next, search for Google Wallet and click the proper result. When the Google Wallet page is up, click "Install." Android should then prompt you to choose which application to use. Select the Play Store. From there, you can easily install Google Wallet.

I can vouch that this method works for me on USA/Verizon. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsavaiano:
I'm sorry if this has been addressed, but over 200+ pages is a bit to go through.

Has anyone had problems with the app just not working at any Easy Pay portals? I'm 100% stock, non-rooted 4.0.2 VZW LTE Galaxy Nexus, and the app was working when I first installed it. Now all of a sudden, I can't get the app to work anywhere. Not sure how or if I can trouble shoot this or if Verizon has just blatantly blocked the app from working on non-rooted devices.

Anyone run into this or have something I can do? Thanks in advance.

how many times has it not worked and at how many different locations on how many different cash registers

i am not trying to be a jackass but the fact is that some stations simply DO NOT have the NFC hardware turned on. because of this, you will simply look like a fool when trying to pay for something. your best bet is to try duane reade, cvs, 7 eleven at the physical register and not self checkout.

I've tried about 10 different times at my local CVS (which worked in the past) and the Walgreens behind my office (which never has worked).

Is there a way to see if my NFC chip is still working properly?

News

A possible acceleration to getting Wallet in Europe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
No. Read elsewhere and you'll find that the decision was supposedly not influenced by Three's complaint. Furthermore, this would only affect the UK. Finally, it's not like having Project Oscar proceed would have stopped Google from releasing Google Wallet. They could release it tomorrow if they wanted - hundreds of us are already using it in Europe.

Only Google know why they haven't released Wallet in Europe yet. It's up to them to flip the switch.

Orange is planning to release its Quick Tap application to Android phones within the coming weeks, so I will no longer need to use Google Wallet.

O2's Wallet is also in the final testing stages, and is in a closed test in London of around 2,000 users.

Visa will be partnering with Samsung to launch a NFC payment app. The application has already been shown off at trade shows.

So, there will be at the very least two NFC payment solutions coming to the UK within the next two to three months. Google, you lose. Again. It'll only be made worse once Apple release their solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jspear07:
Hey just wanted to give to the xda community if it hasn't already been discovered.. I've taken so much from here and this is my first post but I found a way to fix the "infinite" "initializing your device" issue.. This worked for ME so no guarantee it will for you. But it's worth a try right?.

0. Did this last but it's worth a shot to try first.. hit the refresh and pad lock in the upper right corner of the app. No luck.... Then proceed.

1. First First step download the latest Google wallet.

2. Clean you data from app list in Settings.

3. Uninstall Google Wallet (old)

4. Install (or reinstall if you already had it) the latest Google Wallet.

5. Open Google Wallet.

6. It may still be initializing but that doesn't matter... Hit the refresh button in the upper right corner, and then the pad lock...

7. It asked for my pin then glitches an ask me to create a new account with my Google account on my phone. Finish the set up then....voila! I Google wallets working again..

Once your finished the setup all your info and cards will be restored..

Keep in mind.. Your mileage may vary but this saved my assets..... Like $20 dollars of them.

Downloading a apk from Google

How does one trick the Google into letting you download the Wallet apk to a PC if Google doesn't want to? Google says I can't because I am a Verizon customer. If I log in using a different Google, I can't get to a download.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
When I wrote that it showed up in my Google play store but now it doesn't ever since google updated the market. What I am able to do is go to my all list and see google wallet there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
Just thought I'd share something and see if anyone else has had similar issues.

Last Friday I called Money Network customer support because my Google Wallet Prepaid Card wasn't working no matter what I tried. I was then informed that someone named Spasha (possibly Sasha) had put a block on my account, and that I was to contact her to get it working again. When I contacted her today the firs thing she asked me was if I lived in Canada or the States. Since I don't have a Social Security Number that I could use, I told her that I was Canadian. She then told me that under the Terms of Agreement I must be a US citizen to use Wallet, and that wallet should be released around the Olympics. She then asked if I still had the Prepaid MasterCard that I used to get my funds, since I don't she said she'd send me a cheque, and now my prepaid balance is at 0.00$.

It looks like Money Network may be cracking down on us rooters. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
After reading your post it doesn't sound like they're cracking down on rooted users, it sounds like they're cracking down on users not in the USA. currently at this time Google only supports the US but the phone itself allows anyone to install the app separately or you could use market enabler to trick the phone. It looks like on money networks end they're stopping out of country users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
Haha, I that's what I meant lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcellis:
I also noticed that my Titanium Backup forced market link for Wallet was broken/missing (I'm on Verizon). However, I just went into "Play Store" > "My Apps" > "All" and Wallet was listed and flagged as having an update available. It let me update the app from there, no problem. Well, I updated the app and opened it - haven't tried buying anything anywhere yet.

Not sure if this was already posted or not, but I figured I'd share.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
That is exactly how I updated my app. It was no longer in "my apps" but was definitely available in "all apps" section. Before the recent google play update it was attached in "my apps" but after that update a week or 2 ago, no longer

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

this is correct, as I previously pointed out months ago after speaking to number of google wallet and money network reps, they simply warn against rooted devices for security purposes but do not under any circumstance have the desire to terminate our ability to use the app based on that fact alone.

Fix for "Error Adding Card"

I think I got a fix for you...this was happening to me and I FINALLY got this issue resolved.

So after weeks of getting this error message...I called up Money Network at 855-896-0693. I explained my problem and was soon told that they were going to pass my issue on to the next level and someone would be able to analyze the error codes on their side and contact me with an answer (within 24 hours).

The next day I got a call and basically all he did was did a master reset on HIS side. He said this would take a couple of hours to process and would call me back later. A few hours later he called me back and had me try to add the card again but it didn't work. He then had me reset google wallet (from within the app) and had me try again. It just kept loading and loading and didn't do anything. He said eventually it would fail and he could read the error code so he said he'd call back the next day and go over it. Well after the call, I noticed my internet connection wasn't working...so I reset my phone and then I just opened Google Wallet and BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE. I got my glorious $10 back and I'm ready to roll.

All I heard about was how useless Money Network tech support was but the complete opposite was true for me. They were great. So to recap:

Steps

1.) Call Money Network

2.) Follow their steps (master reset on their side)

3.) Profit.

I'm stuck at initializing now too after coming from stock 4.0.2 to AOKP build 29. I'm currently on build 31. I had no idea that you had to reset the app to prevent this. It should mentioned in the AOKP flashing instructions... Ugh. Still nothing to try for this right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thuynh022:
Thanks. I'm going to reset just to be on the safe side. Better to do that then to lose the functionality forever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
It's because you shouldn't have to. I've flashed multiple CM nightlies with no Google Wallet problems. Note: I just wipe Dalvik cache. AOKP flashers may need to wipe data because it's less of a stable ROM.

Wallet is just a novelty I'm tiring of as it's just not accepted many places. The point is to make a physical wallet unnecessary but it's far from that vision. The fact that there are even Secure Element issues further support that point.
