Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

Which zip do I use if I'm on Tasks ROM? I can edit build prop no problem, just unsure on the latest zip(s) I'm supposed to use to get it working.

Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

Just flashed the same Google wallet on the task650 1/17. Changed the prop build to HTC jewel and was able to setup my Google wallet again. I used it a lot when I was on sprint before switching to att two weeks ago. Going to test later.

Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

Yes and yes. You actually have to go through removal steps before you flash each time, then flash, then go through install process again. Or your wallet will not work again

Works like a charm

I have stock AT&T JB ROM on galaxy s3. Used the instructions here and it works like a charm. I did not use any custom ROM, only stock ATT JB update, rooted, with build.prop and NFC zip update per the instructions.

I now use my S3 in NYC cabs, Duane Reade stores and the cafeteria at work...also many other places where the paypass terminal is installed.

Thanks XDA and everyone for posting this thread. Some screenshots attached.

Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

I did read it, more than once. Since there's someone running the exact same ROM as me and have already went through the process I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I then can be sure there isn't anything I should have done but missed that's ROM specific. Not gonna brick a phone just by editing build prop dude. Got plenty of nandroids to choose from. Anyway, thanks to all who helped, I really appreciate it! I'm gonna go ahead and do it tonight.

If there was anything ROM specific, the OP would more than likely say so. His point was that the question you asked was one of the steps in the instructions. It very clearly states to restore your original build.prop. We are not trying to be jerks, stressing that reading and following directions is important.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawheat:
Watch out though - besides Citibank cards, I've found Amex and Chase do not treat transactions as from the merchant, but from Google. So you won't get any additional merchant category credit card rewards (e.g. groceries, gas, etc).

Citibank cards do treat the transactions as from the merchant and give the right merchant category awards. So for now, I'm only using my Citibank cards in Google Wallet.

Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

I get it. Why even respond to what I said? I got the answer I was looking for, from the person I asked. Everything's installed and works fine. I don't get why people on XDA strive to patronize people sometimes. I read the direction and can follow them just fine. When i had an opportunity to ask someone on the same ROM a question, i took it. And the OP does mention there are differences for AOKP ROMs. Just wanted to see if there was anything I should look out for. I was really just reaffirming that the build prop could be changed back for sure. If it couldn't it would have been a deal breaker. That's all. But thanks for reminding me to read the OP.

Happy T-mobile user

Just a quick post from a T-mobile user here. This fix is perfect. A few weeks ago, I restored my phone to factory specs when I had an issue arise with my usb. I already had GW working prior to the factory reset. Never set up a NANDROID, and forgot to prior to reset, came back to a broken google wallet. Today I just reapplied this fix expecting to run into some issue, and didnt run into any issues.

GW working again. Put up a NANDROID, put it in a safe place. Have a working GW at all times

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] helios.z3r0:
I feel it is necessary to say that if you are having difficulties trying to reset your google wallet app, setting the build.prop values to the same ones you used to install and configure the app may help speed this process. Trying to do so on the default build.prop file ended up in a slow progression to 99% (69/72) where it then froze. Upon modifying the build.prop file with the Galaxy Nexus information (which I used to install Wallet), the app reset within 3 seconds.

I'm sure this has been stated somewhere in this thread before, but I figured it would be worthy to re-state and bring toward the top in case a new person is looking through it.

Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

This is correct. I too had the same issues. Mines froze up on 97%. I wiped the cache and data in the app. I then re-edited the prop build and went in and cleared the settings, went thru fast. I flashed the latest version of Task650 AOKP then the wallet zip, and was able to re-setup wallet.

You MUST use Root Explorer. I want to say that I read somewhere that other apps don't edit the build.prop correctly or something.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
Just to be sure, you go through all the steps, set up your new Google Wallet successfully adding cards and everything, change build prop back and then reboot. This should not result in any update because your build.prop is back to normal before you reboot. If you are getting that update right after you flash the files with your build.prop modified but before you've had any chance to set it up or add cards, disabling auto-update is supposed to stop that. I don't know what else to tell you if it is auto-updating even though you have auto-update turned off.

EDIT: I have an idea. If you are following all the steps only to have the app update automatically before you can set it up, freeze the playstore until you have everything set up fine. Don't unfreeze it until you get your build.prop changed back to stock values. You can freeze Playstore using Titanium backup or you can temporarily disable Playstore by renaming it's .apk to .bak. Then you can restore it back to .apk later. I don't think freezing the app with app manager will work because I'm not sure if it unfreezes automatically on a reboot. Hope this helps.

I know for a fact I was using the latest version from this thread as well and google wallet auto updated from the play store and wouldn't work.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryezen:
So I'm on Verizon, running the SIII and used Root Explorer to rename everything back to Galaxy Nexus info, then let the Play Store update the app. Upon opening the app, it said I needed to reset Google Wallet. I went through that process and it eventually added my cards and everything back (took a bit longer than I expected), although at the top of the app it reads "Unsupported Device". The app still seems functional, however. Not sure when I'll be able to test it in-store, but has anyone else been successful in still using GW with this method?

EDIT: Disregard; wouldn't open after switching build-prop back to normal.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
The only time I've seen update issues is when I forgot to revert back to stock build prop after setting up the app. With the modified build.pro, Wallet shows up in Play Store and will eventually pick up an update, although I never actually updated it. Once I reverted back to my original build prop, wallet disappears from play store completely, so it it not an issue.

I've also successfully "kept" the wallet app and info intact across rom upgrades without having to make build.prop changes, re-setup, re-adding cards, etc by following the steps mentioned early on in this thread, which essentially are to flash the rom update and then flash the wallet app before rebooting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pforsb01:
Got Wallet up and running on Task's AOKP ROM per the OP. Thank you!

Just now I reset Wallet, switched the build prop to the Galaxy Nexus, and allowed the Play Store to update to the latest version. Was able to add my card back without a problem. I have not reverted back to the SGH-I747 build prop.

The app says "unsupported device" on top but just tested out and it seems to work just fine. Not sure if there are any advantages over the version in the OP, but the new version works in my experience.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] majikfox:
Changing the build.prop causes other problems.

For one, it causes your phone to identify as the wrong device on the Google Play market, so some apps that used to be compatible with your device will no longer be compatible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
Good God, you absolutely do not want GW to update! It ruines the patch! All those versions in the OP work fine if installed properly. Yes, there are other versions out there, but what was made for this thread works just fine as the OP intended. If he want to release an update, he will.

If you let the app update then revert the build.prop back that will happen. Turn off auto update, install, then revert your build.prop back to stock values.

Exactly correct, with the modified build.prop your phone is identified as a Nexus and Playstore will update the app. Which leads to...

Again, exactly correct. You are liable to get updates to other apps you use made for a Nexus device that will not be compatible with the S3. I have no idea what something like ROM Manager flashing a recovery for a Nexus device will do, but I'm sure it's not pretty. Feel free to do any 'ol fool thing you want to, after all, it's your phone.

See comment just above. Maybe for some reason that will work with AOSP or AOKP ROMs, but I don't think you can get away with it working for Sammy based ROMs. Plus it's that modded build.prop that is the danger, not the updated version or whether it works or not.

Gee, after all that; time to report me experience. I forgot to reset my build.prop after successfully adding cards last night.

2. Make sure Google Wallet is not set to Automatic Update in Play Store. Once the app updated, it stopped working. I backed out the updates, and it was good again.

Re: Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc

Its as necessary as updating from gingerbread to ICS or jellybean. The old one of course works fine and probably will continue to for a bit. The new one is a little more refined and will also have better support being the most recent release.

Old releases of wallet typically only work for a limited time once an update is available. Not sure if this one follows the same pattern but it's likely. If you like the old wallet better, keep it till it stops working. As far as I'm concerned there's no good reason not to update. If it doesn't work, revert.
