Think you need:

com.sec.android.app.clockpackge

- needs to be installed as a system app.

Pretty sure that worked for me many flashes ago...

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Hey, First off a little information about my phone.. I purchased my phone from the play store, it came with Google wallet pre-installed. I didn't sign in to google wallet on the stock rom and went ahead to install cm9.

After installing cm9 I went to download wallet in the play store. Installed it, made an account and got free $10 from Google. I noticed that after installing cm9 it says "this device is not supported" when I open wallet, however I know this is because my rom is rooted.

So today I went to a local walgreens to try it out, picked up some mouthwash and went to wait in line. Once it was my turn I opened wallet and entered in my pin then placed it near the NFC reader, couple seconds passed and nothing happened. I tried a combination of different methods, tapping the NFC reader, holding it there, and moving the phone across it.

And yes...I have NFC enabled in the settings. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jase33:
It could just be the machine/card reader. I hit about 7 different stores before it worked. I also realized that if the clerk has to push a button then they may not know how it works. Not a lot of people using this method to pay. I have had the best luck at 7-11 and CVS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
HAHAHAHA those are the only two i have had success with. Cuz its a single tap and pay. If it vibrates and does a jingle... its working and if its a tap and pay then the cashier has to accept payment. If they are smart enough.... got a dead stare of "idiot" at Jack in the crack the other day.

To the OP if its doing ABSOLUTELY nothing something is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nevell:
Ok it was said that if you bought this phone you would get $50 in Google wallet. Am I the only one who hasn't got their $50 yet? I mean like I've been waiting for days now and I still have no $50.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
If you bought it from sprint and activated wallet before 5/22. Then yes in 5days-3 weeks you will. I just recently got mine and I ordered it in march.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wilsonium:
Sometimes it doesn't work for me...

Jack in the Box is the worst. If it doesn't work the first time I tell the clerk that I'm using Paypass and to please select that. I'm not sure what it is they do... pick credit or just hit the total button. 7-11, PetCo, Walgreens, Whole Foods, McDonalds, Rite Aid and one gas station in town all work great. Funny thing about JitB, they used to be listed in the Mastercard Paypass locator app but they've disappeared from the listings in my area. Oh... and I realize how wrong it is to use Whole Foods and Mcdonalds in the same statement.

As for it not being read... Since the antenna is in the battery I've learned to just hold the phone against the reader so the middle of the phone where the battery is closest to the reader, hold it there for several seconds and kinda wait for it to vibrate and chime. You don't need to be signed into GW at all, just have the screen unlocked and your default card will automatically be used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Ahh..What I've observed was that the NFC reader light wasn't lit when I was trying to make the payment. Before it was my turn in light I noticed the guy in front of swiped his card and the NFC reader light blinked once. So I'm guessing the guy didn't push the button.....Made me look like an idiot in front of like 5 people lol.. I'll make sure to ask the clerk to press the button next time if it doesn't work

Thanks for the tip man. Maybe some of the NFC readers aren't as strong as other ones, requiring you to put it closer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mptpro:
I have the exact problem. I do thinki it has something to do with being rooted and/or custom rom (CM9).

I had my Nexus for about 6 weeks before rooting it and installing CM9. During that time I used Google Wallet almost daily.

Once rooted apprx a week ago, I have not gotten it to work in the very same stores it did work previously.

What happens is when held against the reader, it vibrates and beeps as it should but nothing occurs on the cash register.

It have the "unsupported message" in google wallet.

I have enough funds in my Google Card

I have "NFC" enabled in settings.

Nexus GSM

CM9, N618

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cenwesi:
This happened to me until i reset Google wallet. Being working fine since then even after flashing different versionsnof cm9. In fact tested it today after flashing today's build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
anyone else having the same problem? im not using it heavily, just texting; i have 6h 37m on it and i have currently at 15%. i have SetCPU at 800mhz and brightness is less than half. everything should be fine right?

another question, are the Kobridge Super Build.prop automatically on? or how do i turn them on. (if possible provide videos on how to do so.)

yes, i acknowledge the fact that i am a noob.

thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
3g

also 3g doesnt seem to be working, usually on calk's 3.0 gb rom it would be 40.0kB/s now its just horrible. average 3.0kB/s. yes it do have good signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
Don't use setcpu, act you shouldn't use any CPU app right now. I have found them to keep the phone awake more often then not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
so how do you use the build.prop?

also what about the 3G? i think its stuck on 1x..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TeamERA:
Well the build.prop, what do you mean. And Yes I have had the same issue with data, sometimes I have to reboot before I even see 1x, so I say its either Sprint, or the modem. We will also check to see if a missing file may be causing an issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
i mean like how do you use it? or does the phone automatically uses it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
It's automatic, you don't do anything with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zero Night:
Try changing the kernel I am always getting terrible battery life on roms based off leaks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
which kernel should i use? because when i used calk's 3.0, the battery life is great. and i had no trouble with the 3g whatsoever.
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
Can someone get me the mikmik.apk? Seems like its incompatible with ics but I know it will work

Oh... I probably should've thought before I posted... Mods are gonna flip at this.

Evo 3d FTW
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
nobody can just pull their copy of themikmik forums and post it here?

Evo 3d FTW
[HTC EVO 3D] captain_isswahr:
Unfortunatelly I seem to be not allowed to post links to outside the forum. However, querying Google for

mikmik apk

returned a link titled

to bergfiles, hosting the app somewhere towards the bottom of the first result page. I haven't bothered to give it a try but is it what you're looking for?
[HTC EVO 3D] VictoriousShooter:
It's in the Play Store... For free.

Did you even TRY looking there?
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
When I said its incompatible with ics, I mean i couldn't download it from the play store

Evo 3d FTW
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
I tried that. I couldn't download it using my phone.. maybe if I try downloading it from my computer

Evo 3d FTW
[HTC EVO 3D] captain_isswahr:
No, it's not in the play store if you're running ICS, most likely because it is not listed as compatible. However, the apps often work fine anyway.

It's the same for "LBE Privacy Guard" for example, you will only find it in the market for Android 2.X devices but not on Honeycomb or ICS. If you get the apk, however, it installs and runs fine on all devices.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

I just gave it a try, downloads fine on my linux machine.

On my phone, I usually use Dolphin browser but I also do have Firefox Mobile installed. Although Firefox is fairly slow and I prefer to use Dolphin for my main browsing activity, it usually is able to display/do most of the stuff that the other browsers have problems with. So whenever I get graphical glitches, unresponsive links, failed downloads, etc. I usually give it a try on Firefox. Maybe that might work for you, too.
[HTC EVO 3D] steal25:
the free version is in my rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
Hahaha That file from Media Fire wasn't even the actual application. I'll just nand back to gingerbread (a long task for s-on...) then copy the apk to my sdcard. Unless someone else can just post their .apk real quick? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
could you post it? or PM me it?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hybreath:
Hi guys,

So i´ve been having this weird issue wich is very annoying sice i can´t use the regular on ear speaker. It´s been 10 days now that my phone after around 10 seconds of call starts to make some weird robotic sounds and then, me and the other person in line can´t hear or talk to each other at all. I noticed that if i switch it to speaker the comunications returs and we can talk normally, same for bluetooth devices. I tryed to reset the phone, reinstall OS, Factory reset, insert another SIM card and try a different carrier... Nothing seems to work, even samsung does not know what it is. Anyone knows how to fix this? :(

Thank you in advance.

http://www.phonedog.com/2012/06/11/...really-detrimental-to-the-android-experience/

merp link isnt working for me so a second link

http://www.pcworld.com/article/257307/dual_core_processors_wasted_on_android_intel_claims.html

according to intels general manager dual cores are not doing us any good. That obviously means quadcores are going to do even less for us.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dan_:
Just Intel propaganda as they are trying to get into the mobile processor market.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Hmm perhaps but at the same time makes sense. These phones should fly but I also know it has to do with the VM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] groovdafied:
The thing we have to realize here is that Android was designed to cater to different hardware configurations vs let's say Apple's direction for mobile, they have control of the hardware so they can customize drivers with their software.It also depends how the application uses the hardware too. Dual-core "I believe" is about right, because these apps are not really going to utilize it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxdamage2122:
Intel needs to "put their money where their mouth is." All they need to do is make a single core soc that competes with the s4 and tegra 3 AND within a reasonable budget for me to believe and trust them. Till then its just smack talk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
guy has a point there, and a valid one...I remember when we got the first dual core phone and it wasn't nearly optimized to take full use of it...So in the end it makes sense overall...Esp when you look at it from apps and everything else that doesn't take full advantage of everything available...least thats my thinking on it...

BUT I highly doubt Intel is scared and trying to pull a marketing scheme as some of the things they announced at CES for the future of mobile SoC line for them was amazing...down the the tiny nm processing to the features pushing for...

Also its Intel....their stuff wont be bad in the end of things, once they get solid footing here...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Thank you first logical post lol obviously its a marketing scheme not like they don't almost have a monopoly anyways. Lol and I think dual cores this gen anyways is somewhat better then the s3 and I'm sure they are better then the exynos.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Not the right person to believe. It's like believing Steve jobs when he said people don't want phones larger than 3.5" screen.

Once their stuff is released and a third party with no ties, including advertising, can test it then i will believe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ragster:
Actually, Intel has maybe a 5% market share in chips. So they don't have a monopoly lol. There's this one company with a super high market share, I forgot the name. :(

But this is interesting. Reminds of the "S4 is faster because Android isn't made for quad cores!" argument.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
I'd bet that most lower-end dual-core Androids really aren't optimized for it. There are some pretty cheap handsets out there, and the experience with them sucks.

On the other hand, though, the manufacturers who make quality phones (HTC) know what they're doing.

It sounds just like the argument iPhans used to make two years ago - they'd talk about how Android was not a good OS because the phones they tried were laggy, slow, and stuttered... ignoring entirely the fact that they were playing with the cheap Android phones. Put a resource-intensive OS in cheap hardware and the experience will suck.

And to an earlier point, Intel is trying to get into the mobile space... and their mobile processors are single core. It's in their best interest to make people leery of their dual-core competition.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
I agree with the article 100%, mostly. For now, all enabling dual cores does is inflate useless benchmarks and kill the battery.

The bad part of the article is trying to compare today's processor arch with old stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iBustCh3rries:
My personal opinion... Taylor Martin is a moron. Most of his articles on Phonedog are useless!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Medfield is a single core. Maybe they are just trying to defend their product.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Even in the pc world? That's what I was referring to I understand mobile wise they don't have much or any... Hence the they don't need a scheme
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
This article is about 99.99% right. There is some obvious bias in it, but it holds a lot of truth.

The fact is that Android wasn't built to be "silky smooth". Take a look at WP7 for example, those phones run as smooth as any phone can run and they are all single core processors, yesteryear android specs. The architecture of the OS is 100x more important than processing power and it's sad to say that Google absolutely did not focus on this when they started creating Android. Keep in mine that they started before Apple or Windows in building Android, so they probably just didn't have the foresight.

With that being said, I am as big of an Android fan as any of you and I don't plan on changing any time soon but the fact remains that our operating system will most likely never be as smooth as WP or ios. We win by a milestone though when it comes to functionality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asting:
To start, you will need

Recovery-cmw-hercules.tar (doesn't have to be the latest, you can update it later). This can be found in other recovery threads, as the process remains the same.

Odin3 v1.85 (or any other compatible version)

root.zip found Here

Steps:

1) Make sure Kies is exited, and you have the drivers installed for Odin. If not, check the other threads as this has been covered many times

2) Just select your CWM recovery for PDA once you are in DL mode (which is achieved by holding down VOL Up and VOL Down when the phone is off as you plug in the cable). Select vol up to confirm dl mode.

3) In Odin, leave the default boxes (Auto reboot and F. Reset time), and then select PDA and choose the .tar file we found earlier. Make sure odin sees your phone properly and start this!

4) once you have CWM recovery installed copy the root.zip to your sd card, and boot into CWM recovery. Do a Nand Backup and then install root.zip and enjoy!

5) Delete that crappy bloat!

For those having connection issues in Odin, try the following.

1) Exit Kies

2) Change to a different USB port

3) Reinstall your USB drivers.

I kept getting an error, and the above fixed that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
so it's the same process?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kwilsonjr:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nalaar:
Yes but make sure you download the root.zip file OP posted a link to.

Once you're done with the odin part, having the recovery-cmw-hercules .tar all done.

You should see CWM rom manager in your app, you can click on it but cant really use it. because you don't have superuser permission, That why you need to copy the root.zip file to your sd card. Now get in to CW recovery by turning off the phone.

hold vol. up+down,and hit the power on button, scroll down and install the root zip.

then reboot. now you should have superuser permission and can now uninstall, or freeze all the junk with Titanium backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] usernotfound:
Don't touch anything but the PDA button, select the .tar file, and click start.

For those worried about using the GB root process with the new ICS ROM, the Kies flashing does not put a new recovery on it. It's the same one that shipped with your phone. Therefor overwriting the the recovery with CWM 5.0.2.6 (via Odin) is the exact same. The root.zip flashed from VWM just installs su, busybox, and the superuser.apk into the OS, this has been done on many ICS roms already.

TL;DR: the process is identical, and confirmed working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ResidentJack:
Rooted! T989 with Stock ICS update!

Thank you So Much! It Worked!!! :) For all of you who are doing this:

You will first need to install Busy Box update before Titanium will work. It takes a few seconds (20 - 30secs) then you will see "Allow Super User..."

Thanks again :) Starting to delete Crap ware now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] usernotfound:
Busybox is included in the root.zip in this post?

Worked like a charm thanks!

Ok, so I rooted and it worked perfectly, only problem is I'm now getting stuck on "Goodbye" screen when shutting down, or when restarting. I have removed the battery for 2 minutes, wiped cache, wiped dalvik...

Still the same thing...

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks :)

I can confirm the reboot hang issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hellokidbye:
maybe its an isolated incident on some devices? (I used the OP's root method) I just tried restarting and turning off my phone and i get no hangs on the goodbye screen or anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cjggilbert:
No hang issues here. Root method works great.

Bloat removed,,,,,ALL OF IT!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Thanks for the thorough breakdown, but I already know what is what lol.

It seems to me that it is exactly the same process and using the exact same superuser 3.0.7, but the original author just renamed it to "ROOT.zip" instead of the normal superuser name. I already looked into the zip and its the same file lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asting:
To those getting this problem here is what I did to resolve it:

1) Exit KIES (seems like a no-brainer, but mine was left open in the background, maybe it was trying to do something?)

2) Change the port I'm using

3) Re install the USB drivers.

I'm not having any reboot hangs, so I'm not sure what's different between our devices that is causing that (whether it's something trivial done that would seemingly have no effect, or if it is something else).

My phone does show the Samsung white text logo twice, but only the T-mo one once and boots up VERY quickly.

Finally, I didn't mean this to come off as my own work; I just wanted to share the method that worked for me. I didn't look too much into the root.zip after it worked. I made a backup in CWM recovery first, so I figured I'd be the guinea pig. I also realize a few of the stickies cover this but i felt a thread detailing them in conjunction with the new update would be helpful.

Hopefully this holds you over until highly customized roms are out (if they aren't already).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
it seems that many here don't know about the reboot hangs for ICS.

You guys cannot use the manual wiping of caches and dalvik cache... nor can you fix permission with ICS and cwm 5.0.2.7

TDJ has compiled a zip called the DARKSIDE cache wipe.

I attached it and I know TDJ normally doesn't approve of people sharing his stuff without permission but This is just the cache wipe so I'm sure he doesn't mind.

Just flash it in CWM like you would normally would anything else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
oh no, I wasn't referring to you when i said original author, I meant the person who wrote the one for the 9100. It seems that he changed it. I don't mind if you're just sharing to help lol. Post whatever you like. It just made things more confusing when this "ROOT.ZIP" suddenly started appearing.

oh for those who are hanging in odin. You can change ports. change cable, or even change computers. They're known issues that occurs here and there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] head33:
Maybe mine just looks different and the whole setup is different than the stock recovery i used to factory resest my phone before i updated to ics now my stock recovery is totally different than my previous one after i installed i went back into recovery to wipe cache and factory reset . Maybe its just visual . I dont think this is the same as gb . Again i might be wrong and they just changed the ui .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GlueSniffined:
Worked great for me, though I did loose the fancy Android boot animation in the process.
