So weird thing happened to me today:

I put Google Wallet on my Verizon Galaxy S3 yesterday and didn't get a chance to try a purchase until today. I went to Rite-Aid and was able to make a purchase. It was quite easy - just tap, put in pin, and go. Transaction report came up and it showed the total and the vendor. However, I went back today to the same store to purchase some more items (read: show off nfc payments to new faces) and it worked again, but something different happened.

I put my phone on the pad, but forgot to turn the screen on at first. It didn't turn the screen on automatically, which then triggered a memory of seeing that the screen should be on an unlocked before using Wallet. So I turned the screen on, and unlocked, and immediately it prompted me to put in my PIN. I did this and it prompted me to tap the pad again - similar to the last time. The cashier gave me my receipt and I was on my way. Much to my surprise, about 30 seconds later the phone starts vibrating. I turned it on and it said something about the transaction "might not have gone through" and that I should ask the cashier if it had gone through. I had gotten a receipt, so I didn't think anything of it. However, it kept vibrating to remind me that it might not have gone through. I killed the wallet app by holding the home screen button and swiping away. I then reopened the app and checked the transaction records. Instead of saying Rite-Aid, it said "Paypal vendor" and it said "Authorizing Transaction." It still says that now, which is about an hour after the transaction. I find this quite weird because I got a receipt and the Google Prepaid Card has the amount deducted.

I'm not quite sure if this is a problem with the Verizon S3 or whether it is just a flaw with the app, but I've never read anything like this before so I am caught off-guard. I don't know whether to expect the transaction report to eventually update with the correct location and amount (which says "---" right now), but what do you guys think? It's possible that I am making too much of a big deal about this, but I just wanted to make the community aware.

END OF WALL OF TEXT LOL

Sorry, should have thought of that. Thanks for the help and the mod!

aaahhh, there we go.... aosp... most likely a problem with the rom.

run alogcat while trying to make a purchase and i can tell you what the problem is

i would'nt worry about it. i'm sure google is still working out all the bugs (thats why its not available for all devices)

Profit!!!! I have Synergy Rom for VZW GS3 followed instructions, and installed bad loaded card like a charm. Took four minutes to get my free $10! I'm not been getting that nagging device not supported error that ive gotten my galaxy nexus! Thanks! As soon as I can test it out I will and report back my findings. There's a rite aid near my job that I believe takes Google wallet. I'll check it out tomorrow.

i tried this but wallet app says nfc is off and now all the sudden i don't see nfc settings under settings :/ running aokp rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] marcucci217:
What's weird is that I didn't get that unsupported device error. It just worked as it should for me. Wondering if it is just for devices that use aosp/aokp/cm roms. Glad everyone is slowly but surely getting this to work. Aw who am I kidding - this phone has only been out for a couple of weeks. This is major progress!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
All the purchases I've made have said "authorizing transaction" for 2-3 days, then they changed to completed. Well most of them, some are still at "authorizing transaction" 5 days later.

I wouldn't worry about it because clearly it isn't the most accurate/up-to-date info.

There are definitely still some glitches with anything that pre-approves (eg. "fill up" option at pump, some vending machines). The vending machines I've used pre-approve you for the cost of 2 drinks and then charge you for however many you choose (max of 2 obviously) after you get them. But GW doesn't understand pre-approvals and charges for 2 drinks even if I hit cancel on the terminal and get no drinks. The money is taken off my card but reappears a few days later. So the balance on my prepaid card has been going up and down like a see-saw.

It confused me the first time because it came back right after another purchase. I had $34 on my card, bought something at McDs for $4 and my new balance was $35. :confused: :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] suleman2004:
"make a nandroid and put it in a safe place in case you ever accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data."

what does that mean? like what do i have to do in case i put a another rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
The wallet apk is patched to not show that and no regional checking (that's why it works in Canada and worldwide for that matter) thanks to Paul at Modaco;)

you flashed the wrong zip. Initially this was exclusively for touchwiz Roms but so many cm9ers kept coming here so I added a zip for them that just has the wallet apk and not the libs...

Do I need to write instructions for aosp roms?

:confused: let's say you f things up in a month and it no longer works because of careless flashing...well, you will have a backup nandroid (with working wallet) that you can go back to. Then when you go back to this old Rom, hopefully you do the proper steps as not to Bork wallet a second time
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] suleman2004:
ya i ended up fixing my mistake, had to reflash the rom! newbie here sorry lol

Wait. You made a build.prop? You need to edit the original.

Start over and read the directions thoroughly, your doing it wrong. The build.prop cannot disappear, your phone needs it to boot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DaMagicTicket:
there is no build.prop that i can see at all, unless its hidden in some folder

Now to find some merchant in the area that actually has working NFC. Last time I tried at Best Buy on my Nexus they were down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EM2_Rob:
I used ROM Tollbox Lite to edit my build.prop and it worked fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] suleman2004:
so i did exactly like the steps, got the card activated, got $10 had NFC enabled but tried at few locations and it didn't work. Anything i am doing wrong? i verified at different locations and they had NFC on but my phone wouldn't work :/

Hey guys. As I stated before I got everything working with no problems. Thanks again for that. However today I went in and deleted the build prop file we created and then renamed the original and In my Bluetooth settings I'm still seeing HTC jewel as my device. I wiped dalvik cache. What else should I do? I was afraid of flashing my original rom over it cause I didn't want to mess wallet up what do you guys think.? He's a pic.

Worked but....

So I've confirmed a purchase at a local cvc, but when I was on my desktop spotify it read htc_jewel as a device, is this a problem or just a side affect of having the awesomeness of gwallet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JCSIII:
Check your build prop and then reboot...worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
Better yet........ READ THE STEPS ON THE OP! How many times are people going to forget to finish steps 1-10 on the OP and reset your build.prop file back to the original after flashing???

Do you have to redo this everytime you flash a new ROM?

Everytime I flash or restore a new or updated ROM with google wallet working it tells me to initialize again and i gotta edit the build.prop again.

Is this the case or is there alternative method.

Thanks.

Edit: I mean editing build.prop like to and back like so- d2att -> htc_jewel -> d2att whenever I install the updated CM ROMs.

Followed directions and everything installed fine. As for some guys not knowing where GW is accepted there is an app for that will tell you what merchant around you accepts it.

Thank you OP now I can go back to watching the cashiers faces after I pay with my phone, "wait, how did you do that, you paid with your phone", yup, its a Google thing some fruits just cant get it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
I know you did, I was giving better advice than you gave for the user you were trying to help!

For those asking if you have to redo these steps every time you flash a new ROM, I asked that already on this thread, and the answer is YES! Please search before asking questions!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Open Google Wallet, click on settings, click on reset google wallet. Do this before every rom flash.

From here flash your rom, redo op's instructions, and forgive Krypro from not eating his Cheerios this morning.

General FYI as I've been skimming the thread and saw no mention of it....

I've successfully activated and added prepaid card on AT&T S3 running CM10 Unofficial. Used the modaco modded CM9 version (from OP) and edited build prop to htc_jewel.

Got it working on my first try. Only thing now is to go check if I can purchase something. It should from all the responses I see in this post. Thanks for the mod.

UPDATE: Goggle Wallet has been used and it works flawlessly! Did a test run on a drink, it worked, then went back and used up the rest of the free $10.

Where do I find the build prop file?

Edit: nvm I found it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bales3795:
Worked up until I replaced buld.prop!!!!

I was rooted with CWM and stock touchwiz rom and everything went great until I tried to replace the build.prop back to the original.

As soon as I replaced it and rebooted, I was stuck on the black screen and it would never reach the Verizon boot logo. I had to do a restore to previous. Prior to build.prop change back to stock, it created the Google card and I had my free $10.

I used Root Browser, not explorer to do this but followed your directions to the T. Any clues on what I didnt do correctly or was this a strange one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
you did not follow the directions to a T. root browser does not (automatically) set the correct permissions when you edit the build.prop

so what happened, is because the build.prop you edited with root browser had incorrect permissions....basically you phone saw this as not having a build.prop at all.... that is what boot looped your phone

*other file explorers can work, but I don't feel like trying to explain to every other person how to do this.

Also, come on. spend the 3.99 on one of, if not, the greatest root apps ever. You are getting $10 free anyways...you are still $6.01 in the black
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fbm111:
Double check and make sure you renamed build prop correctly. Some keyboards will put space at end and that won't work.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bales3795:
You're right, that is exactly what happened with the permissions not getting set right. I bought Root Explorer and THEN followed the instructions and the OG build.prop is back now. Thanks for the info!

E: Signature Verification Failed

I followed the instructions exactly. When I flashed the ROM using ROM Manager to reboot into recovery, I got the error "E:Signature Verification Failed" I tried both the Verizon one and the AKOP one. I also tried clearing the cache as well. Am I doing something wrong, or will this not work with my ROM? Maybe there is a version that I can flash via Odin?

Verizon 4GLTE

Galaxy S3

rooted without custom ROM

screenshots show my kernel and also my build.prop file after I've edited it.

Thanks in advance!

don't use rom manager. boot straight to clockwork recovery and flash from there

btw, if you have a verizon phone with a stock rom, then flash the verizon zip

Looking forward to Google Wallet. The instruction on page 1 are a bit baffling,tho.

1) Make a nandroid!...

Q: Hmmm? Where do I find out more about making a "Nandroid!" ?

2) edit build.prop using root explorer.

Q: I cannot find build.prop on my phone, so do I assume that it is created it using root explorer? Yes?

3) Boot to recovery and flash.

Q: This I understand.

4) Reboot

Q: Understood

5) Open Google Wallet and Sign In

Q: Understood

6) Add Google prepaid card...

Q: Understood

7) (optional) Wipe cache and Dalvic cache.

Q: Understood

8) Profit

Q: Understood :)

9) Mount r/w in Root Explorer and delete the modded build.prop, rename the build.prop.bak to build.prop

Q: Understood

10) Make a nandroid and put it in a safe place

Q: Hmmm. So, is step one actually referring to this step? Or am I making a second "nandroid"?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shaggymatt:
Nevermind. Solved. Flash recovery with instructions from android soul, then used CWM recovery on the reboot test to install the Verizon patch, and it's good to go.

Working great thanks. Nfc still works tested it with tag in car. After putting original build.prop back it still works. One note ...recommended backing up the nfc XML file in system/etc and the 3 nfc libs in system/lib with root explorer that the patch replaces in case you want to go back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
take a screen shot of your build.prop (where you edited) and post it here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
great. I will add that to the op. It is very likely the stock nfcee_access.xml will work, I just replaced it with what I knew worked.

the stock nfcee_access.xml has the signature for isis (if and when that is finally released)

so as it is, if isis was released today...it wouldn't work

However, it wouldn't work anyways because the libs dont have the secure element enabled...

So expect to see a firmware upgrade when it does roll out in '14

But I figured it is very easy to find a stock rom and pull it from there
