Looks like the new sprint folks are getting a 50 buck bonus with a new wallet account. According to @Android twitter. Sucks Verizon can't even get basic support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
10 bucks like us at first, 40 at a later date ;)

and thats what they get for their carrier being the only one that didnt sign with damn Isis
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Protonus:
You have to wipe data when moving major android versions or changing large portions of the framework etc. That's why AOKP reccomends data wipe with each flash. Regardless, I came from stock 4.0.2 to AOKP 4.0.4 which is why I had to wipe, you'd have to do the same flashing most any ROM at that point.

Google Wallet is accepted almost anywhere around here (Rochester, NY) because almost everybody has paypass terminals now. In fact it's rare that I CAN'T use wallet.

However now I can't use it all. I'm very surprised no one has figured out a way to fix this yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
If you're talking about secure element issues: the secure element locks itself and I believe it's permanent. That's why nobody has figured out a way to fix it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
Yes, I reset Google Wallet before wiping data when flashing from stock to CM9. It's just a bit of a hassle to have to do it when flashing nightlies which is why I'm running CM9 instead of AOKP.

PayPass penetration has probably only reached 5-10% of all POS systems nationwide. Eric Schmidt of Google suggested last June that 1 in 3 POS terminals would support NFC within a year but those numbers seem far off. Additionally, Wallet is only compatible with Citi credit cards and two or three phones. Wallet is dying, to be honest.

Google's only hope is that the NFC POS that Isis will use is compatible with Google Wallet. It's rolling out soon and hopefully it will hasten the penetration of NFC POS systems. Also, one wonders what Apple will do but they're usually late to the game.

For everyone's sake, I hope that Google can fix this in a future update. Good luck.

Download directly on Play Store

You can now download and install the Google Wallet directly from Play Store no hacks needed. I just downloaded onto my Galaxy Nexus few minutes ago :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Just tried it on T-Mobile and it works!

But I forgot to wipe my old Wallet after flashing a new ROM and am not getting the secure element error...

I think restoring a backup of Wallet from before the flash, wiping Wallet and redownloading will fix it. Can anyone confirm?

Edit: obviously that just restores the apk -_-'' time to restore a full backup and wipe wallet. Thanks for the how to in the OP :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
That's the plain truth. Wallet is dying before it was even fully alive, and for one reason only -- Google's painfully slow rollout. It has been basically the same product for the past year, the only thing they've done is add support for the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint. No new banks. No new countries. It's sad.

When you evolve this slowly, especially when you have such a massive headstart on the competition, you absolutely deserve to die. I hope this isn't how Google will treat Android later on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
I disagree...its just not something the general public cares for yet. Wait til competition stirs up ...everyone wants to get into the mobile payment game now...most of the big US carriers signed up with Isis. Visa has its own mobile payment too. I'm just now seeing all my local grocery stores and Walgreens/CVS incorporating paypass here in Miami. I doubt we will see many credit cards added to wallet due to the fact that everyone wants to set up their own mobile payment system but I'm fine just topping up my prepaid wallet card anyway. I wish it had widespread appeal so that I can just do away with my credit cards altogether and move towards prepaid only.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
the two of you (person who replied and person who thanked and was quoted) need to seriously think about something here. NFC was not created by google. this is a technology that has been around for some time in various forms where they have tried multiple times to make it more accessible and easy to do things with things like gas station pay pass' or normal credit card machines. the pure fact is that never once while having my physical credit/debit card on me did I think to myself....."hmm maybe i should just hold it to this thing rather than moving my hand 1 inch lower and changing its angle to put the card into the machine".

the entire purpose of nfc in phones is to reduce the need to have multiple cards which yes as you say hasnt been the fastest adopted method out there to may banks and credit card companies. what you need to look at is the fact that out of the 4 major US carriers that 3 of them have been tied themselves to Isis, a company that is still testing their NFC capabilities so the full use of credit/debit cards are linked to when Isis decided to get their ball rolling. there obviously has to be some other things at play here since im sure credit/debit card companies would be jumping down every rabbit hole to have their cards be used everywhere every day at every purchase, so for them to not adopt NFC with a particular company means one thing, the money wasnt right for them

please just stop complaining about a tech that is still (in terms of phones) very much in its infancy. there are in fact other phones out there like the GSII line that have the NFC capabilities but simply have it locked down to such a extent that makes it unable to be used until ICS gets applied and frees the amazing device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ricanxd:
On TMobile myself, checked play store and it was there. Finally updated the version I had lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
Not complaining, just saying that Google Wallet is stalling/weakening for a variety of reasons.

NFC payment is still in its infancy but likely will take off over the next 2-3 years. I'm guessing that we may see Google Wallet, Isis, and perhaps Apple in competition. Although Apple could bypass NFC with its Jack Dorsey association and run with Square.

My money's on Isis because it more easily integrates w/ standard POS, handles all major cards except for Discover, and includes the big two carriers. Google may need to pay up and join the Isis consortium in order for Wallet to take off unless it can somehow bring more cards and carriers into the fold. The latter seems doubtful to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Anybody flashed takju and seen if it makes a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZafarHSayed:
I just did this on my gsm gnex, I live in Canada though so I used market enabler.

Any word from other Canadians of its usefulness here? Do stores up here even use it, and if so which ones? I only have the $10 free credit thing set up right now, and wanna test it lol..

also what do you tell the cashier when you wanna use this :confused: I'll bet its a strange encounter lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IRageQuitHard:
I'm having a problem with google wallet, it's stuck on "initializing your device" with AOKP. It worked perfectly fine in stock before I rooted and flashed, I made sure that I cleared off the app data so the secure element wouldn't F*** up. But what's wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaceman860:
Did you reset Google wallet from inside the app

Sent from my GNex {GSM} T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
reboot phone, it should bypass the initialization. then go into wallet and reset the app. then uninstall and reinstall. you will then be perfect :)

i noticed this today as i flashed aokp 34, along with my apps not being restored....odd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinemyth99:
It was reported that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus would not ship with Google Wallet, but would get Isis support when Verizon had that ready. Verizon users are already running Google Wallet on their GNexus devices, so clearly there isn't a hardware compatibility issue. I'd expect them to come to a processing agreement rather quickly.

As far as Apple... US Bank already tested a system for NFC payments using special SD-cards inserted into iPhones and Blackberries, though I'm not sure if that ever went into production.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Yeah isis and gw both use pay pass machines, isis and Google wallet will work at the exact same locations. Yes nfc isn't everywhere but I use gw every single day, can't wait till every store uses paypass. Also google wallet should be in the market for tmobile users now so if enable market enabler to tmobile wallet will be there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
I'm not talking about NFC's progress, I'm talking about Google's progress. NFC payment cards have been around for at least half a decade, and here in London, lots of shops accept them. NFC progress has been great. Google's progress has been terrible.

The only reason that Google Wallet isn't popular is because the number of people who are able to use it (must be a US citizen, must be a Sprint customer, must own one of four not-so-popular phones) is very limited.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Nfc not being in phones isn't googles fault, not to mention that isn't the problem. Nfc works perfectly the only thing is there needs to be more paypass machines and this has nothing to do with Google. Samsung HTC and who ever will start using nfc more when more paypass pop up, actually every new phone coming out has nfc built in (galaxy 3, HTC one and x, also the new lg's) , now we just need more paypass machines
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Got the Secure Element lock out error today. Looks like the device is going to have to go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Doing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Updated to a new CM9 nightly after doing a data clear/factory reset without first clearing data from the wallet application.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Damn that blows. I'm always worried that I'm gonna forget lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] innov8ion:
That sucks but unless you're flashing to CM9 for the first time, you should only need to wipe dalvik cache. :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Yeah, i had been playing around with performance testing the IO when the storage was encrypted so i figured i'd do a full wipe since i wasn't sure what would try to happen if i flashed from CWR (if it would even work). I just got in a hurry and did a fastboot oem lock/unlock cycle...

For what it's worth, it no longer gives me the secure element error, it just gets stuck initializing. I've let it go as long as an hour and watched on logcat while it was attempting. Task after task just continues to fail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thuynh022:
Can't seem to add my city card anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IRageQuitHard:
Thanks, it worked and my balance is still the same! Does Google wallet still work despite the unsupported device banner? Just wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] huyha707:
When I try adding my mastercard it says unable to add card at this time. At the top it also says this device is unsupported.

Running aokp b31
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Anthonok:
Yes. That's just Google's way of saying your rooted phone isn't as safe as if it weren't rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madizmo:
just added $50 from vanilla pre paid master card on my aokp34 running the most recent google wallet from the market and it worked perfect. They finally added better support for pre paid mc's in the latest build which is awesome since its the only way for us canadians to get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
1. I look for my bank (Chase) to add NFC payments before GW adds Visa. My credit card already has Blink, so how hard could it be? Once the iPhone gets mobile payment capability via chip, everyone else will be modeled in a similar fashion (my opinion).

2. Has anyone confirmed that the SE error is 100% phone related, or simply GW related? The PayPal app has NFC capabilities, but I don't have anyone local to test with. I also read that AOSP is being updated with NFC/mobile payment tools... maybe someone can figure out the SE error using that? I never had a chance to use Wallet on my Nexus S 4G because it happened shortly after buying the phone (used). Boo!

Try using this APK https://www.box.com/s/2dd29bbd2877bcef7460 let me know if you still get the secure element error, make sure to uninstall the old version first then install this one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
Any ideas on how to get the 10 dollars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
this doesn't work for me :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
Did not work for me either, even did the old set pin then tap lock icon rapidly until the welcome to Google wallet screen came up trick. It allows you to go through setup as if you were using wallet for the first time but it ultimately fails when trying to add the prepaid card. I did send feedback, but I have already done that 100 times before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DToX69:
Damn, it had worked for me when I had secure element issues sorry guys :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
if its a brand new phone then upon first launching it you get the 10.00

if you arent, and you got it used, then the previous user probably used it already ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
Oh damn I did pick it up used
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
yea, sorry dude. its 10.00 per device, not per profile/account
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thuynh022:
Same for me

How should I run Wallet when I get back my RMA'ed phone?

I'm going to post this Wallet/secure element question here, but may post it as a separate topic if it seems more appropriate.

My imported Galaxy Nexus died a painful death due to a processor failure and I shipped it back as a RMA. It's now reportedly at a Samsung warranty site somewhere overseas to be fixed. Might get it back in 2-3 weeks (long time!).

Due to the massive failure of the phone, I wasn't able to reset the Wallet, as I couldn't even reliably boot the damn thing.

When it comes back, how should I try to run Wallet?

There are 2 scenarios for the state of the phone when it returns:

1. Secure element has been completely reset/replaced

2. Secure element has not be reset/wiped, and the last wallet data is still on it.

And, I could:

a. install and run Wallet app as a new install

or

b. restore my last working nandroid, which has my Wallet data in the app, and run it.

I'm guessing if it's 1+a, I will be able to log in to Wallet anew no problem. If it's 2+b, same good result, since the wallet app and the secure element data should match.

Now, 2+a sounds like a disaster, because that's essentially what results in a lockout (wiping ROM and wallet data without uninstalling secure element data).

My question is what happens in scenario 1+b, running a wallet app with older user data onto a secure element with no applet data?

Lockout? Or no harm done?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Febby:
What's this whole secure element buzz about? I just bought a Nexus, setup my google account. then I opened google wallet, linked my gmail to a new wallet account. I got 10$, patiently waiting for the 40$...

I flashed to CM9 and tried Google wallet but isn't supported Obviously. I didn't bother trying the hack to use Wallet on CM9.. so i flashed back to Sprint based ROM. It let me setup my wallet without issue.

Just to clarify though, I should go into the google wallet app and reset data before flashing a new ROM to avoid issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Absolutely correct
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moonkae:
I'm receiving the "Insufficient Privileges. Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)" issue as well. After reading through the possible solutions I've attempted the restoration of a previous ROM where Google Wallet was working:

1) Used ROM manager to restore a previous rom where GW was working.

2) Reset GW, as it was recommended.

3) Completely reflashed a different ROM and fortunately saw that GW was no longer installed

4) Re-installed google wallet using the .apk provided

Unfortunately, the same issue is still present. The thing is I have a backup of a ROM where GW functions correctly (which is a good thing) but is there another way of going about using this to my advantage when trying to get it to work on a different ROM? I've followed instructions given on this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365360

I'm also trying to manually remove the old .zip version using ADB but have a few quick questions regarding that, if someone familiar with the system could PM regarding that I would appreciate it as I've extensively looked into doing it myself but am stuck at what I'm sure is a simple step for someone with even basic knowledge. I have Eclipse and SDK tools installed. If someone helps me out in that aspect I'll create a full tutorial on the subject of manually removing the .zip version using adb.

Hi All---

I hope I haven't messed anything up permanently... any advice would be appreciated!

I have one of the new GSM nexii.

I installed Google Wallet from the market on Liquid ROM, added my card, and it worked fine.

I wiped, switched to AOKP (without backing up or logging out) and I am now unable to add a card. Everytime I try to add my CitiCard, i am told "unable to add this card..please call citicards at... or try again"

Anyone have any thoughts / recs / help???

Thanks!

----

Ok---I have called CitiCard, and I had to deauthorize the old 'phone' before I could reauthorize the new one. So I guess this is going to be a real pain every time I wipe / switch roms...

Anyone found a good solution to this?

This is the citicard number if anyone needs it (877) 762-2989

I found the info here

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
What I think you're describing is what pages and pages of this thread, and specifically the original post, have described in detail.

That is, do not wipe ROMs without first going into Google Wallet and resetting your login information!

Is that correct?

You said that you did not 'log out', so I will assume that's what you meant.

It sounds like though you did not have the 'secure element locked out' error that some people have which effectively kills google wallet from ever working on the phone, but rather the lesser error of users not being able to add payment cards back to their google wallet.

It is good though, that you provided a possible solution to some people's problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongostl:
Correct.

I did not look at this thread before I encountered the problem....I just got the nexus, and had no reason to think that Google Wallet worked any differently than any other app I download from the market...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
I think we're just happy you were lucky in this case!

You're right, there would be no reason to think it would behave different from other apps. But because of the added security precautions with this payment paradigm they would like everyone to adopt, there is a separate chip in the phone, which is not wiped or reset with the Android OS.

Some users have reported not having issues with wiping without resetting many times, until that final one time it kills the secure element permanently!

And of course, no one is really eager to go testing out different theories for risk of locking out their phones.

So, I think in your case, just reset the wallet before changing ROMs. And make nandroid backups before you wipe/flash, in case you remember too late to log out of wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
I make a titanium backup of the wallet app and always restore the app + data every time I switch roms and that seems to be working so far. *fingers crossed*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongostl:
Do you sign out, or just restore?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
Just restore. I've never signed out of my wallet app I just backup every time I update the app and restore every time I switch to a new rom. I'm pretty sure the stuff tied to the secure element lives within the data of the very first wallet u install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongostl:
I can confirm that this is NOT true.

I didn't have a backup nor a nandroid of my first install.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
I recently had the SE error because I didn't sign out before flashing a new ROM. I flashed LS 1.35 an dim not sure if getting wallet to work was due to their fix (in change log) or the steps below:

Restore backup

Restore Wallet settings in app

Uninstall Wallet

Full wipe

Flash LS 1.35

Install Wallet from Play Store

Now it works! Hope this helps out anyone in the same situation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
All I'm saying is I've never signed out of wallet. And I've flashed rooms about 50 times just restoring my first backup. Never had a problem with SE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajgorr:
Didn't work for me. Too bad I didn't see the 'clear the app from inside' information before I flashed AOKP update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thuynh022:
Did this actually work for you? I'm having the same problem, but every time I call citi it still doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
When I first tried it with LS 1.3 it didn't work (I restored, wiped wallet, uninstall, and flash LS 1.3) but doing the same process with 1.35 seemed to fix it...maybe it's a ROM issue that LS 1.35 fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
There was a .xml that was missing that needed to go into system/etc. I think that was a source of permissions not being allowed for google wallet to access the secure element. This did not appear to be the same thing as the secure element locking out permanently.

It would help if people posting problems here listed the ROM they were going to/from. Also, if you posted EXACTLY what error message pops up from google wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Alright, thanks. For future reference:

Wallet worked on LS 1.25

I didn't reset Wallet before flashing LS 1.3

Wallet gave me an SE error (forgot which one)

I tried restoring the 1.25 backup, resetting wallet, and reflasshing 1.3 but it did NOT work

I tries restoring the 1.25 backup, resetting wallet, then flashing 1.35 and it DID work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ajgorr:
I did a NAND backup using CWM 5.5.0.2 on my Galaxy Nexus yesterday, before updating AOKP milestone 4 (Android 4.0.3). Wallet was working well on this ROM. Also did full system backup using Titanium Backup (pro version).

Then I wiped data/cache in the recovery, applied AOKP Milestone 5 update, GAPPS (without Wallet included). Also flashed franco.Kernel M3 which I was also using on AOKP M4. I booted into system, installed Titanium Backup and restored all the APPs, including Wallet. I got the following error:

img[dot]tapatalk[dot]com/531a81f2-eae7-e6f0[dot]jpg (cant link images on forums - started posting here recently :p)

I made NAND backup again of AOKP m5, booted into CWM again, wiped it factory reset and dalvik-cache. Restored previously done AOKP m4, same problem. Wiped it totally, again, applied fresh update of AOKP m4, installed GAPPs, booted into system - restored just the Wallet from backup, still SE not responding. Deleted it, installed Wallet from Market - same issue.

Could you please post the link to 1.35? And may I flash it on AOKP4/5?
