I haven't found a way to disable the presidential alerts without replacing the stock messaging app with the apk pulled from an AOSP rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You did read the article posted in the OP right? Regardless, badseed posted what likely is the easiest way to avoid these alerts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Farabomb:
Just what I need, the government in my phone. :rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
LOL, that screeching thing went off on my phone a few days ago while I was sending a text (I have since disabled it).

It scared the sh!t out of me, I thought for sure my phone was totally fried......

WTF is a "presidential alert" & why can't I turn THAT off??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
My guess would be alerts addressing state of emergency, terrorism attacks, or environmental catastrophe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
i was asking if any mod was made to remove it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Falcyn:
Let's seriously not turn this into a political debate. It has nothing to do with one single President. The Emergency Alert System has been around for one time and a lot of the stuff we're seeing in phones now was initiated by Bush.

It's also something that pretty much everybody supports regardless of political affiliation. A national Presidential alert has never been issued, not even on 9/11, and would only be sent out in the case of an incredibly serious natural disaster or attack against the country. If you seriously want to be kept in the dark even if an emergency far worse than 9/11 happens, well, it sounds like you might have some trust issues.

The information on how to disable these alerts is contained within this thread, it's gone political, so thread cleaned and closed.

It seems every time I download a rom that requires gapps my tablet craps its pants:( when it boots there are a bunch or error messages and the moment it connects to to wifi it reboots :( it does this with jelly bean megatron eos any of those no matter what kernel I run either way it flips out:( t seems the only rom that has been working for my tablet is ARHD I am running bk90 if that helps I got my tablet last November. Thanks for your help in advance :/:confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
can u tell us what recovery you are using?

and what steps are you taking before flashing the other roms?

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fat guy142:
Team rouge 1.5 I think, it's green and white not the touch screen version
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fat guy142:
1.3
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
update your recovery to 5.x.x.x

either rogue touch or twrp

that should sort you out:good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Agreed with other poster. Team Rogue is not really well supported among the ROMs.

Try flashing Team Win recovery instead.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fat guy142:
Ok I hope this works
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fat guy142:
I tried it and it didn't work I got same errors and restart on widow connect

afterwards I went back to rouge because I couldn't see my internal

[Atrix 4G General] 1212121212121212:
Bell you did it again, me thinking this month I could actually get a new phone (18 month upgrade)

Well, they breached my contract and now they're saying that I can get a new phone September NEXT YEAR

So i cancelled my phone and I am not paying my penalty ($600) I told them since they have breached my contract, I have a right to breach theirs by not paying the Penalty. What would happen if I just don't pay that $700 bill?

I am thinking of going with Wind Mobile, Unlimited Text, Call, Data for $50 a month, holy **** what a deal. Galaxy Nexus for $99 on a 3 year contract.

Is there any way to get out of paying my penalty?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] Routaran:
The general thing that most companies do with unpaid bills is to send it off to collections. Its bad for your credit rating, very bad. You need to find the original documents they provided you when you signed the contract with them and look that over and find out what you actually agreed to. They very well may have said something like we reserve the right to decide when you can upgrade phones or whatever. In which case they would be within their rights.

Before you do anything rash like simply refuse the pay, do your homework, find out exactly what it was both parties agreed to.

Its possible that you got an unethical sales rep who was trying to corner you into signing a new contract now to get a new phone. Talking to another rep may resolve your issue.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
Hi all

as it is vacation and i have a lot of free time atm, i played around with some custom roms. I really liked the customisation and performance of resurrection remix, but after some time playing around on any custom rom, i found myself missing my stock samsung apps which in my opinion are mcuh more convenient, although that may just be because i'm used to them. Now my question was if there was any way to get the customisations and performance of a resurrection remix and such, but to install the stock samsung apps over it? that would really be perfect for me, but yeah i know, aosp roms, open source, not samsung apps. any tips very much appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noscentsbrad:
Wrong section.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Which apps you want from stock in RR?

Most of them rely on TouchWiz framework (ctomgee told me :)).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
well, the first I can think off are camera, agenda contacts and maybe messaging, but if they really depend on stock framework then this will be impossible or at least quite difficult I guess
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
"Can port?"

Camera, MMS - no, agenda - I think yes, contacts... probably no
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wootyv:
Mhm, then it seems quite impossible to make it happen, I can get the performance tweaks by installing siyah kernel but the customisibility won't be for me apparently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
Hey gang,

So I had Google Wallet working on the SGS3 earlier today, no problem, following the guide pinned at the top. For clarification, I'm on a stock rooted phone. The new cloud-based Wallet update that rolled out today (see here about that) should be easy to get working, but if you manually enter the play store page on the SGS3 and force an update, the new update doesn't work. You get a toast with "Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."

In #verizons3, desterly, Krikkit_Cat and I were looking at it-- specifically, desterly was checking the new .apk. I think tonu42 was also trying to get it to work.

I tried a simple build.prop change back to the htc_jewel, but no luck there. desterly found this check:

this.mMarketIntent = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
this.mMarketIntent.setData(Uri.p****(this.mWalletAndroidMarketUri));
this.mMarketIntent.addFlags(65536);
switch (getIntent().getIntExtra("mode", 0))

Which is the first check that fails. There could be more.

Any ideas on how to patch to get around that? It's confirmed working on the VZW GNex, so it's not a carrier check, just a Play Store check or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmcomer:
I already had GW working on my VZW S3. I just changed the buildprops: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1769083&page=69 then updated the GW app from the market without any problems. My VISA was already listed so I just needed to verify it and now it's there along with the prepaid google debit card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scsa20:
Man, know what you mean, even trying to go back to the old version gives me the fail message, really hope someone comes out with the patch since I f'd up and forgot to clean the secure layer and don't have a backup after the initial wallet install and before pushing the update thinking it'll just work.

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
I can also confirm that modifying the build.prop to "ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus ro.product.name=yakju ro.product.device=maguro" as suggested by mobilehavoc works. It has the unsupported device banner at the top since I'm rooted but everything else works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
Will this have any other unintended consequences? Otherwise seems like a dece fix.

Also, scsa20: if your secure element is broken, it's broken. It's a hardware thing. That happens if you flash a ROM without clearing the Google Wallet settings. However, you PROBABLY don't need it for the new Wallet app since it's cloud based.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smalltownbird:
This allowed me to setup the app and added my MasterCard but I have not tried to use it yet. I will tonight when I stop for smokes and see if I can use the $10 Google gave me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
Yeah, give us an update. I bought a coffee with old Wallet to check my secure element.

From that Krikkit_Cat was saying, you can possibly destroy your hardware secure element (NOT REPARABLE) by doing a nandroid with NFC enabled (I haven't experienced that yet), and DEFINITELY if you flash a ROM without clearing your Google Wallet data. So make sure you do that.

To check your secure element status, install AnyCut, and make a shortcut to NFC Test. This is a baked-in .apk on stock ROMs, some debloated/AOSP ROMs probably won't have it. If you go to the shortcut and check the SE Configuration, and both appear on, you are most likely in the clear. Also unconfirmed, but LLStarks said in IRC that merely being able to see your card's funds (in old Wallet) means your SE is working.

To update to the new cloud-based, all card Wallet on a STOCK SGS3:

change your build.prop information to as follows:

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro

and KEEP those settings. The easiest way to edit is to use Root Explorer, it saves a backup. If you prefer to pull/push, make sure you change the permissions on build.prop otherwise you will SOFT BRICK and have to Odin/nandroid back.

Then, go to here on your phone and update the application manually. This should work as long as you keep your build.prop.

Someone on reddit claimed MarketEnabler will allow it to work without changing build.prop, but I have not tested this. Let me know if anyone gets it working. I found all this on reddit and XDA, and of course IRC-- Krikkit_Cat was invaluable in telling me how to check for the secure element status.

EDIT: MY GUIDE APPLIES ONLY TO STOCK PEOPLE! If you do this on CM10 WITHOUT removing a build.prop check from the updater-script you will bootloop and POTENTIALLY BRICK your device. If you are on CM10, see tonu42's post below.

Also, to play it safe, clear your Google Wallet data every time you change something. You run the risk of destroying your secure element if not.

EDIT2: KazPinkerton from IRC just verified that this works with his stock debloated ROM following these steps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
here are my steps to make this work on Cm10/

PRE-ROM: Unzip cm10. Go to META-INF/com/google/android/

1.Edit update script in notepad or notepadd++

2.Remove this

"assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2vzw");"

3. save

4. Go back to the folder where it is just META-INF and System

5. Select both of these and add to zip in 7-zip or windows

6. Flash this and GAPPS

7. Then follow below

1. Use market enabler http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/

2. Spoof tmobile us

3. Download wallet from market

4. change buiild prop to this

"ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

ro.product.device=maguro"

5. Reboot

6. Go through set up

7. When adding a card it may take up to 30 minutes

Caveat: It will say unsupported device at the top, but apparently it will stay work with payments. *untested for now*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mondoveliz22:
Yeah, I was an idiot and totally forgot to wipe my google wallet settings.. I hope there's some way to get this fixed at some time or another. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
You MIGHT have luck with the new Wallet app. Instead of storing your CC info on the secure element, it stores it on Google's servers. But I'm not sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mondoveliz22:
Ya, I tried the old way and still got the secure element issue as with the new one too.. womp womp... dang.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
Sorry man. You could try to exchange it, or just live without it. I don't think I'd ever really miss Google Wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mondoveliz22:
I might just have to call Verizon and let them know I'm having a real bad issue with my GPS locking or something simple. Meh, I had Pay Pass on my Chase card but I never really used it so I don't know I'll figure that one out..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
Ok so I tried this method buts it says unsupported device in top is that normal and also I don't know if it's stuck on" adding card" or does it take a while
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
That's just because you're rooted and they "technically" advise against using it on a rooted device as they don't guarantee support. Believe the previous hacked version just had it removed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
The unsupported thing comes up but apparently it still works. I have not tested it using this method but will sometime soon. Also it may take a while for adding a card, I did it over wifi took a few seconds. Let it sit for up to 30 mins.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
Have it on WiFi it's been 30min
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
Lol still waiting ugh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidnice15:
Just two questions. What do you mean by keep your build.prop and how do you clear your Google wallet data. I am only asking because I don't want anything messing up and would rather be a noon and ask and get it right the first time

Because you decided to post this here I need to also warn people here...... Anyone using CM10, CM9, or AOKP. If you edit build.prop to these values you will not be able to boot into your rom.

You can use this method of changing it to sprint name if you follow the PRE-ROM part of my guide.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scsa20:
Yea, I changed my build.prop to match sprint's and now able to get back into google wallet, what a major update to it too, now lets see if it'll actually work this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robpet2:
quick question... so using these Build.Prop values to allow update of google wallet in the market, then confirm that the changes went thru, then deleting the modified build prop and replacing it with the original one, is the right way ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Moogle Stiltzkin:
hi,

does anyone know when google wallet will be usable globally ?

using market unlocker i was able to download the app, however it is not usable in my country.

looking at the youtube demos, it looks to be extremely useful as a debit card device of sorts, so would love to use it when it comes out.

not to mention i wouldn't mind the free $10 usd credit ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VaporCloud:
Hey man, To be Honest so far BOTH have worked, (only tested with the last version, but after i changed my Build.prop back (only after setting up and adding a card) Then It wouldnt matter if i swapped back, Only the initial setup,

BUT, i would just leave the Build.Prop Set to Sprint GS3... Sprint Doesnt block Apps...And They are IDENTICAL phones except for the ESN's Being tied to each carrier. i Dont really see a reason to swap it back.

I really dont think it should cause any problems for your Build.Prop to be Set to a Sprint GS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amt897:
With the new one you have to keep the build.prop changes set. d2spr works, so do the original Nexus values listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wera750:
So has anyone actually bought anything with the new wallet yet? I've tried twice with no luck. I'm on synergy 1.2, lean kernel 11.1, using galaxy nexus build.prop, and no I haven't reverted my build.prop. I originally had flashed the Verizon wallet fix before upgrading to the newest app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deanrobbins:
Running the Jelly Bean preview. Reading the PRE-ROM part of your guide, it appears that I would have to go into the CM zip, make the changes, and then reinstall my ROM. Is this correct, or can it be done without resetting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] niv3d:
Wonder if we'll ever be able to use wallet without changing the build prop...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
I tried everything and I'm stuck at adding card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidnice15:
How long has it been stuck for. I read that it can take up to 30 mins..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
I put it all night I woke up and it said card add failed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Is that the google prepaid card? You can try booting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache under Advanced. The method here works fine on the verizon gsIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
The Google prepaid adds fine and it let's me know in the notification its adding and when it's done adding but other cards notification don't appear in the bar and just hangs there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Sometimes even longer. It took mine over an hour to activate last night. Might be due to higher than normal activations because of the new version. (Original activation took less than 5 minutes)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
Anyone use their app at a store following these instructions and were successful or am I going to be first one? Im going to 7-11 in an hr or so lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Try resetting google wallet and then adding the cards to the google wallet site. When you go back into the google wallet app, those cards you added online should auto-populate and you just tap them to activate. Only card I'm having an issue with is my citi mastercard but think that's because I fubar'd it yesterday and not sure if tech support actually reset it or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:
Fubard?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
I installed the update from the market yesterday and got the error about not being compatible. Uninstalled the update and had to reconfigure google wallet again and haven't been able to add the citi card since. Google Prepaid, Discover and BB&T Visa debit card all added fine. Spent an hour on the phone with citi tech support yesterday before finally getting someone who could reset it and she claimed I should be able to just reboot and be fine but some report that it takes 24-48hrs. There's a thread in the Evo 4GLTE forums with others having issues with citi so maybe it's something on their end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brandao.gabe:
I did the same, when i restored my nandroid it appears to be working though. I haven't made any purchases but I was able to see all previous prepaid card and had no errors. I haven't updated to the new cloud based version yet though

Ok i added it to the Site reset the app clear cache and dalvik went to app and add card let's see what happen been waiting already half hour

Has anyone got it to actually make a purchase ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayotero:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Yea using my guide in the dev section. I made a purchase at chevron today
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wera750:
I've tried twice with no luck. Think I'm going to wipe everything and start over. Use beans Rom this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
If you change your build prop file back to original and reboot wallet will no longer run. Does this mean our wallet account is forever associated with the Galaxy Nexus?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Not true mine works after reverting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
Well what's the difference? We used the same app and same methods, unless you used the pre-rom method, i was already running CM10. So it's every bit as true for me as it is for you and I would have to say I'm not the only one who it didn't go "silky smooth" for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] speedylad:
Check out Droid Life. They're reporting some kind of wide availability, but with a lot of caveats. They have a screen shot of a VZW SGS3 being compatible on the play store.

Sorry, I'm new so I can't post links yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nguyenvn:
Any luck yet? I'm in the same boat as you. Been trying all day to add a card and it fails. Not sure what to do...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lucky13:
I had that problem, here's what I do to solve it. When I flash my Rom I immediately flash the Google wallet app, then on first boot I edit the build.prop to Galaxy Nexus, yakju and takju. I then reboot, fire up wallet, get it done, then edit build.prop back to original. Don't know why but the rebooting after editing the build.prop made the difference between it adding cards and just sitting there, or failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nguyenvn:
It finally went through this morning. Not sure if this had anything to do with it but I just flashed Synergy 1.7r50 clean. Installed the GW zip (the one that automatically changed the build.prop) right after. Took a couple tries to add my card but it went through. Installed the buildprop restore zip and it seems to be okay still. I just need to actually test GW somewhere now. Anyone on Synergy that wants to install GW just go to post 2600 on the Synergy thread in the android development forum for the Verizon Galaxy S3.

wallet issues after twrp backup

I've read conflicting stories on if you should or shouldn't make a nandroid or twrp backup after enabling wallet. Im running CM10 9/2 nightly with the wallet already installed within the zip. I had it working with the banner telling me there was a compatibility issue (i assume it's because I'm rooted). I then named my new prop file with nexus data added to replace the old one, rebooted into recovery made my twrp backup and when i booted back up wallet told me it wasnt available for my device or carrier. Can I fix this? Should I revert to my saved backup with wallet working or will this cause further damage to my nfc? Pease help!
