So is it possible to top up your Google Wallet balance here in the UK?

I know you have to have an american postal address on your credit card, just wondering if there is any way around this?

EDIT:

Ok, so after getting a better response on Google+ than here I have a few suggestions:

http://myus.com/

http://usabox.com/

http://www.usunlocked.com/

Thanks to Jon Laslow and Simon Jones for the suggestions us unlocked looks like the best option

Once wallet is sorted for 4.0.3 I'll give it a go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
In short. No

I haven't even attempted to spend my free $10 yet. Anyone managed to in the uk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
I have read about people getting meals at McDonald's and paying for coffee with it so yeah it does work

>>> No!!!<<<<

DO NOT USE USUNLOCKED or other similar cards!!!!

As I wrote extensively in another thread, I've tried it. It does not work. Google will not support this yet because the card is slightly different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Ok, but could you please elaborate on that ? What have you actually tried, what happened, etc. etc. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanaganD:
You get a credit card with a valid address, postal code, even a phone number.

While this may all look ok while you're entering it in, when you actually go to add the funds, it says that it didn't work and asks you to try again.

There is no error code, it just asks you to do it again. I have tried it repeatedly with all manner of combinations of getting the address right etc.

What I want to know, is if any US resident with an ACTUAL US card can fill their hacked GSM Google Wallet. SERIOUSLY <--- we need to know.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
I will try the usunlocked card now. I am in Europe and have an European GSM Galaxy Nexus. I have managed to install and get working all the google apps and markets with provider faking and us VPN address, without using any hacked apps. Movies market doesn't tell me my phone is rooted like it does on my Nexus One, but it tell me none of my cards are valid for movies. I haven't tried to add founds to top up on my 10$ wallet account. When the usunlocked validation process is finished I will try that as well as renting movies. Will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Oh, this I want to hear. To come back with a result please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Waiting for the first deposit to arrive that will activate the card. They say it will take 2-4 days, but not sure how that will turn out now during the holidays. But the minute I receive the confirmation I will get at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
Dude... the fourth response in this thread explicitly states that USunlocked does not work...? Or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
I don't have a hacked wallet app. I don't think it matters much though since I think the problem lays with the type of card used. But anyway my main reason for trying this is to be able to buy music and rent movies, I hope they aren't so strict there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
Yeah we can fill it just fine. Used my Wells Fargo debit card to refill a few times now without problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tobz:
Id love to know how to get more money on my account, my original 10 bucks will only last for 2 coffees!!!

Im in aus and would love to know if anyone can get a top up to work from outside the US
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
Does the PayPal app not Support nfc? If so, we could just use that instead...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
If you just transfer manually from your bank account 20$ to the Google pre-paid card account number that is written in Wallet, does it work ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tobz:
not sure if it as simple as transferring money to the account number....

Hopefully someone finds a virtual credit card that works! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Then, can somebody in the US call the phone number shown in Wallet and ask them if a "friend" from outside US can transfer money manually so that the money eventually show up in Wallet account ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
The USunlocked card didn't work with me either, got the usual "funds not added". But it do work for renting movies and buying music, and that was what I hoped for. No stress with wallet here yet, not a single place to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
Where do you live?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B1ny:
Scandinavia.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Thats a good question, I know there is a NFC widget in the PayPal app so possibly, but that may just be to transfer money between two NFC enabled phones

I don't think there is a Google Wallet account number :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
There is a Prepaid Card number. I was reffering to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benwh:
This looks promising: finestfones.com/2011/12/how-to-add-funds-to-google-wallet.html

Getting hold of one of the cards looks to be impossible unless you've got a friend in the US though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
maybe some kind XDA members from the US can get us some and sell it to us?

sort of make it a bulk postage to the UK eg of 10, then re-distribute in the UK again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arrio:
It is possible to add funds if you are LUCKY. I am Canadian and I tried adding fund on my GNex using a spoofed US credit card and it worked just fine. I then try to add fund on the Galaxy S, which prompted for my SSN which I don't have.

Usage of Google Wallet in Europe?

Has anybody manage to use Google Wallet in Europe succesfully so far? I've managed to activate Google Prepaid Card and receive the free $10. Now I'm wondering if I should give it a try to pay with GW at a PayPass Station over here (Germany). But before I give it a try I would love to hear some stories of other guys over here and their success with GW, as I'm not looking forward to look like a complete idiot when trying to use GW (without success). :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
A quick search would show that there are dozens of people who have used it in Europe, including me. If there's a PayPass sign, it's very likely (not certain) that it will work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eckischeich:
Thanks for your response. Isn't it a honor, that your (XDA) opinion and experiences are more worthy to me than any other ones out there... ;)

So there's no need for any kind of software update for the paypass terminals, even as it has not been launched officially over here, right? GW transmitts same data as every mastercard paypass-capable credit card, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
So this is a screenie of the error I get, the past 3 times I've tried to use GW (after a successful first try). Unless I've misunderstood someone has found out from Google when this happens, you need to add some funds yourself to properly register you GW account, or something along those lines.

If this IS the case, it's even more important we find a way to add funds!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
It didn't even load for me, says Wallet isn't available in my country. Fail

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
Well, not entirely. Your initial reply was to my post saying it's not working for me now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Well, yes but once you get it working does it just accept you're elsewhere in the world and work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
Yes. My first try was successful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
As long as you have a fake market enabled, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elliott_stocks:
Sorry to bump an old thread..but has anybody had any luck with this? I'm in the UK and cannot find a way to top-up :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benwh:
I found a guy in the US who was willing to buy a Mastercard prepaid gift card and give me the details. That combined with a valid US address (you can set the address on the site you log in with the card details IIRC) and the funds went on fine

I haven't used it for a while but it worked for me in Pret and Greggs, although sometimes needed a couple of tries
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I wonder if all of these international wallet problems are due to the banking regulations that came with the (un)Patriot act...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wilsonium:
This happens to me occasionally here in the USA. I can usually get around it by getting the clerks attention and telling them it's a Credit transaction. Some POS terminals are set to debit by default and I think technically the Google Prepaid registers as a Debit card. So I ask for it to be credit, the clerk usually sighs and rolls their eyes before punching a button and then it goes thru.

For those not familiar with Clonezilla, it is based on linux and you DL and burn the ISO to a CD. You can then boot the CD and use the Clonezilla tool.

I used this method because there are no commands to learn and no software to install on your computer. If you can boot from a CD you should be able to use the images.

I made the images available because many users had asked for them. My experience with just putting an SD Card into the inner slot and doing a reset has been varied. It worked with a class 10, 8 GB card from Transcend but not with others.

Edit: If your inner SD Card is bad replacing it and doing a factory reset may fix your Streak, if not the image is available to restore the proper partitions to the card.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Guys I don't know how many of you are thinking about doing this but for me it was well worth doing because it got rid of the "E:can't find MISC" error message I was getting everytime I went into Streakmod Rexovery
[Streak 5 Android Development] gregianos:
Thanks for the guide and Merry Xmas.

What class SD cards is this suitable for? If I just bing in a new, larger SD card in will it automatically partition to cover the whole card or just the standard 2gb?
[Streak 5 Android Development] cdzo72:
Well I used a class 10 4gb Patriot LX because it has the best specs as far as I could see although therebis some debate on this topic... some believe the class 2 cards are better are smaller files read write.

But when you use a 4 then you have all 4 gigs available to you
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
I put a Transcend 8 GB class 10 card in my Streak (pic here). I did a factory reset (from the first screen in StreakMod Recovery) and the Streak formatted the card fine. The biggest difference I see is over 6 GB of space to install apps, so I keep all of my apps on the phone. If I want to change the external SD Card I don't have to worry about apps not working.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Chirunavvutho:
I am getting my Transcend 8 GB class 10 tomorrow. I already cut plastic in the back to access the inner micro sd card.

Will post results.
[Streak 5 Android Development] stang393:
How about some pics of the cut?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Chirunavvutho:
I didn't document the cut process but will provide few pictures of what it looks when I am ready to insert the new card. Yet to get the memory card still.

Hope USPS delivers today. :) I will be out of town next 5 days. So if not today, gotta wait.

I used a scalpel to cut the plastic in the back. Took me about 15 mins.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Chirunavvutho:
Didn't get the card today. So Monday it is then.
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
Here you go. I made it larger than it has to be.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Chirunavvutho:
I have successfully replaced my inner SD today. Did restore from Nandroid and now my internal SD shows 6.3 GB available. This was an easy mod, hope it is worth it not just for space but for speed also.

I am using 407 deodexed and rooted. Stable as a rock except for an occasional wifi freeze.

"Can't Mount Data"

I tried to re-install a 4GB class 10 internal sdhc today. I had problems with it in the past, as it quit working after about a month. I was going to use this guide to see if I could get it to work.

Took a Full Nandroid BU immediately before switching internal cards. Still couldn't get the 4GB cl 10 to work so I re-installed the original 2GB sd and did a Nandroid restore. Now I am gettitng an error during that restore:

Restoring Data...

E:Can't mount /dev/block/innersd0p6

(Invalid Argument)

Error mounting /data/!

Skipping format...

E:Can't mount /dev/block/innersd0p6

I have tried a Factory Restore from the Dell screen, and use StreakMod Recovery v0.3.2.8.

I am on bb354 running SimpleStreak 1.2 with perfupdate and oc to 1190.

I have had this exact same problem with the 4GB cl10 card but never with the stock 2GB card. Everything was working perfectly before I started messing around!

Can anyone tell me what this means AND how to correct it and get my Streak back up and running?

Any help would be most appreciated!!!

kraz

***UPDATE***

I was able to get the stock 2GB internal card to work and am up and running. I was not able to get the 4GB cl 10 card to work leading me to believe it is defective.

What I did:

1. Factory Reset from the Dell Screen.

2. Installed the custom ROM (SimpleStreak 1.2 in this case) from the zip on the external sd card.

3. Installed the PerfUpdate zip for SS 1.2 from the external sd card.

4. Boot completely and open and close several apps once booted.

5. Rebooted and did Full Nandroid restore.

6. Rebooted and opened back into my familiar launcher and apps all fully working.

7. Sighed heavily in relief!!!!
[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
I did a reset from the first screen of StreakMod Recovery yesterday and the Streak would not boot. I had to use the image I had made of the inner SD Card to restore the inner card. This was from StreakMod, with a heavily modified Stock 351 ROM (rooted, many system apps removed).

I got an error with the 360 image so I used the 406 image and had no issues. I then booted into Linux and used GParted (a partition editing tool) to resize the smaller partition to use the full card. When the Streak booted I installed stock 351 and did a reset from the stock recovery and the inner SD Card formatted properly.

My points are:

If the inner SD Card does not format properly on a reset you can fix it. Don't panic.

It is probably best to use a stock recovery to do a factory reset.

I have also read that to use a card larger than 4 GB you need to change system files. You only need to do that to use the space on the inner SD card in ways that it isn't normally used. See here and here.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Chirunavvutho:
How to benchmark your internal SD card? I didn't do before with 2 GB card but here is mine after the swap with Transcend 8 GB class 10 card. The second screen capture is on the external 16 GB Dell provided class 4 card.

* Gb Class 10

Just did a swap from the stock sd card(sony 4 Gb class 4 or 6) wich was crashed for the 4th time in 3 months now and put in a 8 Gb class 10 SDHC card(transcend Ultimate) tried a kingston 16 Gb class 10 before and a transcend, both didn't work btw.

did a stock systemtest and came out on 2559 and after a new test came out 100 points higher.

over all performance looks improved, less freezes when memory gets a bit full.

Just a standard installed OTA android 2.2.2, after crash first reinstalled the default card and then swapped it straigt forward with the 8 Gb card and stock recovery.

No special software used

now 6 Gb internal memory available.

when installed with 200+ apps it's a huge difference instead of app to SD now that i don't have a needed copy of my apps on every external SD swap saves a huge amount of work reinstalling.

I used the systemtest from george android(android market) to compare

Just my 2 cts

[Streak 5 Android Development] vampirexhunter:
I read in some threads that using a class 10 micro sd card reduces the battery life due to increase in read/write speeds. Wonder what is the optimal class for the Streak.

What's the stock inner sd class?

**EDIT**

Did a little research and found that the stock sd card might be class 2.. MFG: mmagr02gudca-db (Sandisk 2GB class?)
[Streak 5 Android Development] vampirexhunter:
Thanks for the tip! I installed a Kingston 8GB Class 4, and worked like a charm!

When I rebooted, it prompted me to send my unit to have it debugging, but it was formatting the sd card as well. It rebooted to DSC and prompted me to sign in my google account again..

So I rebooted into StreakMod and did a full restore nandroid.

I'm seeing 6GB available space! Hope I won't run into any problems :) *crossing fingers*

Now I wonder if there's a way to mount the inner sd with USB? hmmm
[Streak 5 Android Development] rokkywoof:
Why mess with the inner SD?

I am curious as to why would you want to do that? That is where your /cache and /data directories reside, and I would think it dangerous to mess with those on a running system. FWIW, they are mounted r/w, so you

could

copy files to them with adb push/pull , but, again, why?

With all the "fun" people have recorded in this thread tying to initialize new or corrupted cards, it seems that "set it and forget it" would be wisest. Leave that space for the system to use since you seemed to wonder if 6GB in /system would have problems.

FWIW, I got a used DS 5 with no inner card, and put a 4GB card in it (after a lot of research as to where it was - fuzzy closeup pics/vague desriptions - and how to format it - easy on my primary platform, Linux ;-} ), and the 3.5GB /system partition still has over 3GB free after adding several dozen apps (even the piggy Nook app), so I am not the least interested in playing games with moving apps to the "normal" SD card (/mnt/sdcard).

It seems "casual" (maybe better described as "personal" vs "system") file management is best suited for the standard SD card that normally shows up when enabling USB access.

Hello,

There was a problem with my streak 5, it wasn't switching on (no power, no dell logo, no lights, it was just like trying to switch on without battery), this was happened after using fastboot erase command.

And i cant use factory reset because the device was not switching on.

Do any one have any idea on this.?

Please help me fix it...

Thank you friends....

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] murat17:
The icon appears in the xperia play app but the game doesn't play with the controls?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Gimme about one hour to check this out for myself. I'm almost certain this is one of those low-region compatible cases where it only works on a certain few Xperia PLAY models since it did, in fact, show up in my Xperia PLAY Game Launcher.

My download's at 97% so I figure another hour should knock out that 3% >_>...

EDIT: Finished... and it appears I let the Xperia PLAY icon fool me. Shows up in the Game Launcher, but I can't even get the game to stay open for 2 minutes straight, much less control with Xperia PLAY's gamepad. Then again, I wasn't able to fully test every control option, so one of the non-automatic schemes may very well be the ticket.

I'm hoping the icon is an indication that this will soon be Xperia PLAY Optimized though.
