So I just went to make a purchase and the app came up asking for my pin, but the transaction went through completely without me having to enter it. Had not used the app at all this boot and did not open it before touching it to the reader. Is anyone able to replicate this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julienrl:
Market Enabler works in Canada as well! :D

I seem to be having issues with connecting to my network after installing it. I can'T finish verifying the google prepaid card, it just keeps adding it for ever. (I have tried rebooting)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] almonteb:
Yep, just gave this a shot. Still doesn't work.

Heres a bit of background info. Running stock 4.0.2 on an Verizon LTE Nexus. Rooted and did the original .zip method.

Help is greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Got the lte. Version???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Nope. No luck. I have literally tried everything. I think I'm one of the unlucky few that was kicked off Google Wallet for using an unsupported device. Google Wallet tech I spoke to on the phone did mention that the network is being upgraded and unsupported devices with access may not work anymore. Sigh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrew53517:
Is it bad to use the .zip version? Or is that version okay to use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
I would strongly suggest you don't.

---

On a side note, just got off the phone (thanks GMail for giving me the free 10 cents I needed for my call ;D) with a Money Network representative. US Unlocked won't work, since they don't allow you to top up with a prepaid card, only "a debit card or a major credit card" - hilarious, since at the moment they're both being backed by First Data!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] law2004:
thats weird its working perfectly fine for me. what error are you getting
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
If that's the case then that just sucks because I just loaded $100 into my Google prepaid card :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
I'm getting secure element not responding
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Unable to add a prepaid card. I was able to on 4.0.1 but I flashed my phone and I have never been able to get it working again. I've tried every method posted and I've probably flashed my phone a good 15 times so far. Nothing works.

If I could be ensured that it works, I would simply get a citi mastercard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Intel_x:
I'm glad I waited for the apk I didn't want to root my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
Editing the packages.xml needs to be done from within recovery.

Alternatively you can try my new package which should fix any need to do anything with packages.xml other than just flashing the package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mklass:
I just flashed the waller though CWM and now half of my apps won't work and keep closing. and all of my user data for the apps that do work has been deleted. Gonna restore to my nandroid for now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hhspiny:
Had the same problem first installed.

Then, I entered recovery again and choose fix permission. afterwards, all apps work fine.

It seems that use fix permission immediately after flashing the zip in recovery is not enough. you need to reboot it once, then enter recovery again to fix permission.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
The new package installed great for me first time. I'm just running a rooted stock Galaxy Nexus GSM.

Swiftkey X started FC on reboot however, but I'm hoping Fix Permissions will fix it. Please keep this thread update when new versions of Wallet are released! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lt23:
After flashing this, everything works fine. But now everytime I boot, I get the "android is upgrading -- optimizing x of 91...."

Anyone know why and stop this from happening?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.AuthoR:
Can anybody comment on if this will work with the LTE version or not? I want to go pay my phone bill at the Verizon store using my phone :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0mie:
Is this only for ICS builds or should it actually work on ANY device with NFC?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blakestimac:
After a ton of attempts, I was finally able to add funds to my prepaid card. I kept attempting my debit card to no avail. So, as a last ditch efforts, I tried my Visa credit card and tada! it works.

I now have $40 on the card and and can't wait to be, "that guy."

So if you're having issues with adding funds, try a credit card instead of debit, as Google Wallet doesn't accept them at all.

"However, PIN debit or ATM cards will not be accepted." from http://www.google.com/support/wallet/bin/answer.py?answer=1349463
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Another thing to keep in mind when setting up top off credit card in USA is that the card's billing address must not be a PO Box. This confirmed to me by both Google Wallet and their Money Network help desks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Highland3r:
Those guys in the UK, how are you adding credit to your wallet account?

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
I'm sure this will sound very stupid, but... how exactly do I flash this with CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
Works with Paul's ir4 kitchen ROM

Thank you for all the hard work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
I had $300 on my nexus s..... Do you guys think it'll be possible to transfer this google wallet balance from my nexus s to my new galaxy nexus or will I have to wait until google wallet is officially supported for the galaxy nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
If you have not already, call Google Wallet or better yet Money Network and the should be able to pull up your account and help you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fred23:
I'm not sure if anyone in the UK has managed to top up. I've used up most of my $10 now. If it's possible to top up then it'll require passing funds over to the US and back. Personally I think that not really worth it to buy a cup of coffee. It was great seeing how NFC payments can work (and winding up all the iPhone owners at work) but I'll wait until it's officially rolled out to the UK now - rumoured for "early next year".

Of course if Google want any beta testers for UK payments then they should look for anyone who's made a Google Wallet payment in the UK. I'm sure they'd find some willing volunteers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
Thanks for the suggestion. Called money network and had my case escalated to a manager since I'm in Canada and only have Canadian issued IDs to verify my identity.

The representative really didn't seem too hopeful that they would be able to transfer the money without an american drivers licence. Google Wallet is great but holy **** Money Network sucks, I can't stand companies that are unable to think outside the box.. It's going to be tough getting this money transfered.

All y'all outside the USA, keep this in mind if you decide to top up your google prepaid card. The balance will be tied to your hardware, most likely permanently.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
While I agree with everyone on the hassle needed to get money into your account, I actually really enjoy using this to pay for goods. It's so convenient. Bought a meal at McDonald's today and the looks on the employees' faces were amazing.

Has anyone in the UK successfully managed to add funds to their account? I wouldn't mind chucking £30 on here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I flashed, booted, back to recovery, fixed permissions, booted again.... all working.... BUT

I have two applications that use SQL lite datbases, and they force close when I open them. (anMoney and MyFitnessPal).

Any ideas?

Here is my log:

EDIT: I reinstalled the applications and they work fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daves21lax:
Works with my stock rom ! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knolly:
I was foolish and applied this before trying to apply the 41F patch, which now gives me an error since there is a problem verifying NfcGoogle.apk. Will I have to restore to complete stock just to fix it, or is there a better way? Either way, thanks for all of your hard work! Can't wait to try it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stopswitch:
What I Did to fix it

Specs:

LTE Galaxy Nexus VZW

Rooted / Unlocked boot loader

Running 4.0.2 Complete Stock

I originally flashed the zip provided on this site, however I wanted to use the apk version instead. I tried removing the zip according to the site and it did not work (wallet would force close). The app would say "Insufficient Security, blah blah" and close. After that I decided to wipe the phone and restore to a previous stock profile (that was backed up before flashing the original zip). Tried installing the apk, got the same Insufficient security non-sense.

Tried everything on here that I read and could not get wallet to work. So I restored to my complete stock backup of my phone and just reflashed the zip and performed the packages.xml fix. Boom, wallet working again, but off the flash version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekBoi:
It works!!!

Mine: ARHD 2.1.1 GSM

Service: T-mobile

Indian guy in 711 was impressed with what I did! It makes my friends (Iphone users) so envious!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] check12:
Any guidance would be amazing:

I am running 4.01 right now with Google Wallet flashed onto it from earlier this week. It's working fine now.

1) Should I be upgrading to this?

2) What method should I be using in order to avoid the blocking my phone from wallet (aka "Secure Element not responding")

Thanks so much in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
If you're in the US on VZW, it's because one of the files that the original method replaces doesn't work with the stock versions of the files. (i.e. there's another file that needs to be put back). The OP / revert was recently updated for this.

The "benefit" to using the APK is that you aren't hacking out files from your original ROM and replacing them with others, that may or may not break other stuff in the future. the Market-only APK install is the most seamless option here, especially on VZW. I have not used the world/GSM phones so I don't know whether it works correctly there or if all of the needed files are already on the phone or what...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beng2k:
Confirmed today, bought the Vanilla MC for $50 bucks, registered it as above. Put in a US address and email.

ICL53F yakju UGKL1 rooted with 12/16 build, not gonna upgrade as I dont want to lose the $50 i put on.

Does FC after use though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fmadrigal:
So my phone is rooted. I tried installing the APK but I get this error.

Has anyone seen this? If I'm rooted should I install the Zip? If so, how do I do that?

Thank in advance.

p.s I haven't updated my profile, but I do have the GNEX. :)

VZW LTE Unrooted

Hi all.

Verizon LTE. Unlocked, but not rooted. Stock 4.02

Never flashed or installed zip.

Only used posted .apk

Try to activate but comes back with - Not supported- Unfortunately Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier.

I am in a very remote area on holiday, with no cell coverage. So my phone is in airplane mode (so battery doesn't get killed looking for service) - but I AM on WIFI..

Does this have to activate over the carrier network only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
Update: I tried to use it at McD's. Nothing. Nothing happened, the NFC reader thing on the credit card scanner didn't read it. Very sad.

Went to another McD's. Great success! It worked right away and asked for my pin. I put in the pin, re-tapped it and the receipt printed. McD's boy very impressed.

I'm going to assume the first McD's reader was simply inoperable/malfunctioning...

I entered my pin pretty quick but it did seem like it was waiting for me to retap after entering it. I was wondering if it asked for the pin because it was my first use, or because I used the free $10 or maybe a combination of both...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tscad:
Unless you go into the app and unlock before the purchase and prior to the ~2 min timeout period it will always ask you for a pin.

Because the app requires nothing more than having the screen activated that poses a big security hole should your phone get lost or stolen. The pin prevents anyone who gets a hold of your phone from making unauthorized purchases, which makes the phone more secure than a wave pay credit card in that the credit card doesn't require a pin.

So expect to enter your pin more often!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halo0:
Ah that's good to know. I wish the app would explain that instead of being all vague about it. Now I'll know to just enter my pin before I get to the checkout to save time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] check12:
I was able to load $100 on the first time but have not been able to add either of my $200 Vanilla Mastercards since. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddiezane:
Did you read the post he was replying to? My purchase went through without having entered a pin. I don't know if it was a fluke or if there happens to be a vulnerability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Has anyone had any success with their Citi mastercard? Does it work on the Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shade21:
On stock unrooted LTE 4.0.2. Installed the .apk fine without problems, set up my G Wallet and got my $10. everything seems to be working fine, going to go use it tomorrow and see how it works..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublehoya:
Successfully added mine to my Wallet account, but haven't used it yet.

Good to hear!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
Thanks OP! I got it to work and got my $10. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kinggroin:
Does anyone have an answer for this? Im having the exact same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickles96:
Well sure enough I flipped off airplane mode and everything setup just fine. (Still only using wifi)....

hope this helps someone who is in the same boat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fugugaipan:
I have the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
I also have Citi activated in Wallet and it can be set as "default".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HUNZwiebel:
Ok, I see that it doesn't work in UK without work. Can somebody explain it to me, why it is? If it is working with the older flash method in the UK too, why it won't works with this apk method? I'm really interested in this... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smashcz:
Awesome, the apk works perfect, just tried it at BK.

Thank you kindly!

Installed just fine on ICL53F GSM unrooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jopah:
I was thinking about this earlier today and I haven't seen anyone mention it. I don't really know if it's because it's a stupid suggestion. If someone were to post an nandroid backup of their phone, which had a working wallet (with their google account deleted of course), would it work on the devices that are having the secure element problem? I have a GSM nexus and I'm apparently locked out of google wallet, but I've seen multiple posts saying people had this same issue and restored to an earlier backup, and got wallet working properly. I'm just curious to see if it would work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEff:
I would like an answer to this as well. I literally read through this entire thread and no one had fixed it without reformatting everything to a stock image. My NANDroid backup was destroyed because I didn't expect a factory restore to wipe it off my phone so I don't have my old system image otherwise I would just reflash the /system...which I had to anyway because I reformatted /system without thinking.

As a side question is there any way to use the stock image and JUST install the /system? I have a feeling that if we could that would solve the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stdio31:
i am in switzerland, bought a galaxy nexus GSM, found no way to get the wallet working without rooting the phone.

tried as well the mentioned method over wifi in airplane mode, still says carrier not supported etc....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] distortedloop:
I finally got ICS 4.03 and Wallet working on my Nexus S. Registered Wallet with a different google account than I'd had on that phone before with Wallet, which was the one I used on the Galaxy Nexus and got a new $10 with.

Registered okay, but when I added the Google prepaid card, it came up with the $0.05 balance it had on GB with the original account. So, the google account linkage seems much less important than the actual piece of hardware. I'll deplete the $10 on the Galaxy Nexus and then on the Nexus S wipe Wallet and re-register with the same account as on the Galaxy Nexus and then which balance it shows up with.

This seems like a security flaw. Imagine my phone was stolen. The thief wipes the phone, then sets it up with their own information, then opens wallet and registers; looks like they would get my Google pre-paid balance. Probably needs more testing.

After reading the link NPS_CA provided, I'm also concerned about other theft scenarios. According to Google, you can't put your Citi card on a new device until you've "decommissioned" the old one. You decommission from within the app itself, but if you're phone is lost/stolen, how would do you do it? Moot point for me right now, I don't have Citi card that I'd put on the phone, but I wonder if Google's thought of that scenario.

I'm going to deplete the funds on my Galaxy Nexus, then play around with the two phones and different Google accounts to see what happens to balances. When I get a spare battery, I'll try changing it to see the impact as well, unless someone else has already tried it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HUNZwiebel:
Some small questions:

1. If I root my device and install market enabler app, will it be with any more changes on my phone?

2. If I do it, I will be able to add my own card (Mastercard - Hungary) to tgis program? Or mayve, can I put some money to my Google Prepaid card on it to not to use my own normal card?

3. What will be, if I want to hard reset my device? My card's datas will be stay on the device? (I hope not)

Thanks, and sorry if these questions were too... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subsonicbug:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patchmonkey:
Man, now I wish I hadn't "removed" the ZIP version. FC constantly ("Unfortunately, Wallet has stopped.") after using APK version.

Is only solution to revert to backup? Or did someone (and yes, I searched the thread) figure out another solution?

Thanks!

(yes, I know ZPrimed mentioned this in this post - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20449809&postcount=585 but I'm still having issue. Did just push packages.xml again and reboot, will see if that works.)

(Update 2: Nope. Still getting "Wallet has stopped" error. Not sure what else to do?)

(Update 3: I'm also getting FC'd in Market)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JDQuackers:
Can you "decommision" through the web portal? It appears that the old "Google Checkout" has been rebranded as Google Wallet now (all my old Checkout transactions and payment metods are listed on the wallet (dot) google (dot) com (slash) manage site now...

So in that case I wonder if this "decommision" process can be done there in the event that your phone is lost/stolen. I imagine that would be an important security feature (remote deactivation of a payment method)

Any chance I could get this working on my Amaze 4G?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
If the amaze has a built in nfc chip this app will possibly work but I don't think the amaze has built in nfc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Get a fresh install that has never had Google wallet installed (fresh install not hard reset) if you get a fresh install with all the stock system files and images that apk will load fine. You may have to load a fresh rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patchmonkey:
As in, Wipe & Install ICL53F? I can do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] distortedloop:
Doesn't sound like you can. It specifially says in the one FAQ that you decommision on the device by using its settings to wipe data.

The Lost/Stolen Phone FAQ says to call your credit card company, Money Market, and any gift card help center if your phone is stolen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avesik:
For non-US people: does anyone know if INSTEAD of having to root it is possible to insert a US SIM, (turn off any location services in settings to be sure), initialize wallet, then go back to using my own SIM and use wallet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
Wallet checks your network every time you start it, so I don't think that would work.

Rooting is good for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEff:
Does anyone have an answer to this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hilbe:
Same problem for me. FC in the app. Market works fine for me though. Anyone have a fix besides flashing stock?

My solution was actually to Titanium Backup everything. Then I went and installed the Android Revolution HD ROM for the Galaxy Nexus. Restored all my apps & data in Titanium Backup and just installed Wallet. BAM, working. Took a total of 15 minutes all-together; I took a shower while Titanium Backup did it's thing.

So you have to run market enabler each time?

Getting my wallet out, using my bank card and PIN is sounding a better option right now! (And quicker)

Force Close Fix:

I'm not 100% sure this will work for everyone, but this worked for me. I pulled down my CWM backup data and system tar files from my initial install to my computer. I untar'ed it. I pulled out the following files and put them back in the original locations.

Data Tar:

/data/system/packages.xml

System Tar:

/system/app/NfcGoogle.apk

/system/app/NfcGoogle.odex

/system/framework/com.android.nfc_extras.jar

Did the same steps mentioned in this post a few pages back, but chmoding the odexes to 644 as well. Finally I reinstalled via the APK to no more force closes!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
No, you don't have to do that. Market enabler should work with Wallet until you reboot or until market enabler is closed.
