@soy.lor.n

I agree with the OP as well. However, it's not a farfetched notion to say that anybody who is on XDA is not in B&N's target demographic.

The listed uses for the NT are for mainly for ebooks/mags/videos/music. Apps are a minor use, if only by the small size of their app store. XDA'ers want apps. Then the NT is not intended for them.

This hasn't stopped XDA fans from repurposing the product to their liking. But the onus is on the user to do the lifting, if s/he wants to use it for something else.

Whether B&N's business model is viable is indeed open to debate. Whatever view one has on it, allowing sideloads can only be a bad thing for said model, as the workaround reduces it to a mockery. So yes, it's a good thing for B&N model to shut down sideloading, just as it is for Amazon to force the use of their app store.

It helps to look at the issue from the vendor's perspective, and not from a user's, especially not from a user who's on XDA.

>So is there any particular reason you have decided to include me in that catagory?

It depends if I say WHINERS STEP OUT, and you decide on your own volition to step out. Congrats!

>I am not one of the whiners..

Good for you then. Action speaks better than words, however. Your so-called "Open Whatchamacallit" manifesto sadly puts you in the same lot. Poo.

>we, the Free Android Community will continue to hack, reverse engineer, and modify the software

So how goes the hack/reverse engineer/modify software bit? When can we expect a patch? Or is this "we" stuff actually mean "let somebody else do the work and I'll take the credit"?

nook button bug

So I loaded my sd card with the .zip to reload 1.4.0 and it worked! But now my home button is only good for waking up the device. Anyone else having this problem?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Yes, others have had this problem, and it can be fixed with a factory restore.

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] spedinfargo:
I don't know too much about OPDS yet, but it seems like the only tools that consume a catalog are built in to existing reader apps (Cool Reader, Alkido, etc.).

I want to create a local OPDS catalog (using Calibre2OPDS) and be able to browse it on the Nook Touch. But when I get to an EPUB I want it to launch in the stock reader.

Is an OPDS catalog just an RSS feed that I can consume with any RSS reader? Would that be the way to go?
[General Questions and Answers] Behzadsh:
Hi, I read most of howtos inside the XDA or in other references but most of them described it in windows, I tried to do them but failed in ubuntu.

I think result of failure is a simple thing that i forgot or don't even know about it.

so I decide ask it here.

Can somebody explain how to create virtual device, from zero :D -- what I should have install, what should have done and etc --

thanks

Went to McDonalds by my work, and after my failed attempted to use it at Sheetz, I was able to buy my lunch instantly with the free $10 :) All the people were amazed and came running over LOL, I didnt have the heart to tell them it wouldnt work with their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I used it at a 7/11 the other day and the cashier was looking at me like I was a crazed man trying to pay with his phone. Got meh some Dr. Pepper and AriZona's. XD

Thanks for the updates guys, just installed Google Wallet and received $10! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwd3885:
So what can you use it ANYWHERE a MasterCard PayPass is accepted? How do you do it? I'm always nervous to just try to swipe my phone up there, I dunno!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] divinewisdom:
are you guys installing it using the APK?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
question guys.. are you guys launching the app prior to swiping or just waking the phone/unlocking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogreenbay07:
I think it's after you unlock it but I'm not sure. I just unlocked it so I don't look like an idiot if unlocking is required
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shade21:
I did the same exact thing. Got a double quarter pounder meal!

The people who worked there loved it.

All you have to do is when they're ready for you to pay, take out your phone, unlock it from the lock screen, then hold it to the reader (for them it's the little red pad above the card reader) takes less than a second before it registers the connection and pays for it. was able to take the phone out touch the pad and put it back in my pocket all in one motion. bam. it's that easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stealthtab:
Me too! I just popped my NFC cherry at Jack In The Box. Thanks Google!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kesnik:
I first used it at my local grocery store. I found it to be very easy. To use G-wallet you have to set everything up in wallet first, obviously. Once you have a default card selected you can exit the app. Go to the store, simply wake the phone / unlock it if you use a lock screen, select credit on the stores pay pass system, hold the back of the phone to the NFC reader and the wallet app will pop up asking for your pin. Enter the pin and place the phone back on the NFC reader and you will hear a beep. That's it!

in one day I hit a 7-11, a best buy, and a mars supermarket the next day mcd's for lunch everyone reacted the same way "what the ____ is that" I just said "bet ur iphone can't do that" took my receipt and walked out

BALLIN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
I opened it before i walked in so i could enter my pin but it wasnt running when i paid. I assume if you dont enter you pin first youll be prompted before itll pay
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Not at all. Mine has had a case on since day one, and it's an instant transaction just like using the phone naked. I love using it in front of people that have no idea this technology exists lol, Its so sci fi to them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modidlee:
In Wallet settings there is a place to set the app timeout time. I'm assuming if you enter your pin and make your purchase before that timeout period ends all you need to do is wake the phone up and hold it to the PayPass; no need to open the app or reenter your pin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] allen099:
I'm so jealous of you guys. I set it up and it looks great, but when I went into CVS and tapped credit card, the phone wasn't recognized. Kinda made me look stupid actually. Maybe the terminal was out or something...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
Someone else had problems at CVS too the terminals weren't setup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sodequis:
Just used it for the first time at CVS... Worked!

Required setting the phone next to it twice.. but I think you just have to hold it there for a moment...

Loaded the app and entered my pin before checking out.. good to go!

Totally blew the mind of the young cashier muhahhaa!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teklock:
Do you need 4.0.2 for this to work on a GSM Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] senf:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] baggy247:
I used it in McDonald's today in the UK! So cool, the cashier was very impressed, lol. Installed the apk and used Market Enabler to fake a US carrier. You can then use the free $10 and add more to the prepaid card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
I have the app installed but can't use it because I don't have a PayPass credit card anymore =(

Both my Debit card (came with my Checking account 10 years ago) and my main Credit card used to be PayPass, but then both of them migrated away from it. I even have a Citi MasterCard and nothin.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
So what you're telling me is that if I attach my debit card to my phone, it won't be able to do anything with it since it's not an NFC card? I thought Google Wallet could essentially be used like Google Checkout/PayPal where as you can just attach any card to it. That's a bummer for me. I don't have an NFC card. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
You can add funds to prepaid Google card from whatever card but can't use any directly yet except citi mastercard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaffanculo403:
So does this require a data connection on the phone to work? I went to a hockey game tonight and the data connection was in and out. I tried to use it and it kept failing (it worked at McDonald's at lunch today just fine). The data connection is the only thing I could think of...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
No, this does not require a data connection to use as Mastercard PayPass cards do not have a data connection and work fine. This simply transfers your information to the PayPass receiver.

On a related topic, I created a simple online survey that may help us collect the data we need to figure out why certain Google Wallet errors are coming up. It should only take around 5 minutes and it will really help the community. Please take the time to fill it out. You may even fill it out anonymously if you wish. The survey can be found here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
I was at a cafeteria this morning, catered by Sodexho. They apparently accept PayPass, so I went ahead and tried to buy a coffee with Wallet. I tried once, the cashier said try again, so the second time, he said it's "still not working." When I looked at the screen, it said that the transaction was declined and to "TRY LATER." I'm not sure why... my phone successfully sent to the device, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Works great at 7-Eleven and McDonald's though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
That's curious, Google's FAQ says it works anywhere MasterCard PayPass is accepted. And PayPass is MasterCard so I wouldn't think there would be rogue PayPass locations.

So does wallet always run. I had to force close it to make it go away after I used it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DSMDev:
No - it doesn't appear to use any background services.

There must be be a NFC service running which is probably what starts up Wallet when you touch the phone to a paypass pad.

I've never had to FC the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xirix12:
OK everyone, I just wanted to share my story. I used Google's money to buy $10 worth of gas last night. I was alone in the store just me and the clerk that is. Opened the app, unlocked it and just placed it over the tap area and that was it. they guy look at me with a confused face and said "Did you just pay with your phone?" I quickly replied "Yes, I did and gas was on Google today!" Like a Boss!

Too bad you can only use a Citi Mastercard I don't use that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vaffanculo403:
You have to put a pin in when you open the app. It stays open for 5 min and then times out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
I used it a couple times on the vending machines at my job. The first time a girl was watching and was like "how did you do that with your phone?" Then I explained Google Wallet and she pulled out her iPhone and was like "I guess I can't get that on my phone. I need to try it at a more populated place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ad78:
No need to open the app. People blown away when i did this..

And they just paid for a gallon of milk for me. It was so ridiculously quick. I was like that's it? Amazing how quick transactions are using google wallet. I'm adding money to that google card lol. Its fun lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shade21:
One bug I noticed.. I paid for a transaction then a few min later the manager was talking to me about it so I was showing her how it worked and touched the phone to the reader and Google wallet said another transaction went through. It was a duplicate of the previous one. Luckily since the reader didn't have a transaction loaded it didn't charge me. The transaction on g wallet is still there though...

Places that have work for me with Google Wallet.

1. McDonalds

2. BP gas station

Places that Google says Google Wallet is supported but doesn't.

1. Kroger/Kroger Fuel

2. CVS (Card machine kept coming up as an error???)

Everything works for me running on a Stock Verizon CDMA LTE phone. I've even transferred money from my bank account to the Google Prepaid account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
So I tried using it today and it ended up being declined twice. I'm on Verizon non rooted. Could that be why? The machine took the payment. But in the end it ended up being declined when it asked for my pin number in the machine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsnryn:
Worked great at CVS today. Hit the power button (didn't even unlock the phone) tapped it to the reader. Wallet popped open, asked for a pin. Tapped it to the reader again and done. Took just a few seconds. Even got a "that's cool!" from my 15 year old daughter.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Just a heads up for everyone using this hacked google wallet !!

I spent the free $10 from google and added $40 to the google prepaid card so I could keep using it, since I don't have a citi card.

Yesterday I exchange my nexus for signal issues and obviously I wiped off my phone.

When I stater setting up my new nexus, I installed the google wallet app and logged in using my google account and surprice surprice, my $40 balance is gone.

Even though I signed up with the same a google account, for some reason it thinks I'm a new customer because it gave the free $10 again but my previous $40 prepaid card is gone. Whats weird is that it does show all my previous transactions.

Now I don't know if I should contact Google Wallet CC since this is a non-official app.

In case you are going to exchange or wipe your phone, make sure to backup your google wallet folder folder.

Or use the $10, wipe, get another $10, wipe, ....... :D

I have Google Wallet working perfectly on my GSM Nexus running 4.0.2 via the recently posted APK. So far though I was only using the Google Debit card but I just signed up for the Citi Mastercard (why not?) and I really hope when I get it, I won't have trouble using it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowhatch:
Alright so what the hell am i doing wrong here.

I got my Wallet all setup. Got my $10 credit, the pre-paid is set as default payment.

I've tried this 3 different places now;

1-CVS, after looking like an idiot for a few secs the guy tells me the paypass doesnt work... ok then.

2-jack in the box, same story guy says the paypass is not hooked up

3- another cvs - paypass is all lit up, i unlock the phone, open the wallet app, put in the pin, and then touch the device to the paypass... nothing happens. hold it for a sec, nothing happens. girl at the register looks at me like im a complete moron and goes...''uh sir, you swipe your card there'', i refrain from chocking her out. "yea i know its a new tech... doesnt seem to be working'' i reply. "Umm.. what are you doing sir?" she replies.. i get pissed and just reach for my debit card.

So what am doing wrong?

Its unlock the phone, open app, input pin, and thats it right? Just hold it up to the paypass?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
yes this happened to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I have used it more than 6 times in different places (Walgreen, CVS, gas stations..) and I always do it exactly the way you just described it and it has always worked.

Try somewhere else? :confused:
