Thought I'd start a thread for Canadians and Google Wallet since the update. So ill go first:

How I installed:

- flash stock 4.1.1 image from Google

- Recovery and Root next

- Put this apk in /system/app and /data/app

- set permissions as r w - r - - r - - in both places

- Rebooted

It started up and added my cards from my Play Store account but stalled at activating any of them, so I removed all but my prepaid Google card. I then proceeded to add my TD Visa debit card and used my real street address in the first address line and city, province in the second line. CA as the state and 90210 as the zip as it the only one I know :P. It worked for about a min or two and added it. Ill try it at Timmies or something in the morning and update this thread.

UPDATE: If remove all your cards via the app and then go to http://google.com/wallet and re-add them via web, Wallet syncs and they are all there and active with your correct address. Ill update to see if they work at a retailer.

UPDATE 8/17/2012: So after many attempts at purchasing with cards varying from true credit cards (both US and Canadian), debit cards, pre-paid cards, etc ... My conclusion is that while yes the cards load and the transaction shows successful for a brief moment, once the location check kicks in, the payment is rejected due to being out of a supported country. I even tried over VPN but that doesn't work either as the location of the merchant is probably compared to your current location to validate purchases. In that case I would have been seen as in the US but the purchase came from Canada, anybody else running a similar service would say no to letting that be allowed anyway. So that is that and I will leave the thread open until one of two things happens, we figure out a way or Google rolls Wallet out to other countries (most likely case).

I deleted my card, then added it online. It still wanted me to do the card setup via the app. I used CA 90210. It seems to have set it up correctly. I dont see that in the web settings anywhere, Still shows my correct address. So, we'll see when I try to use it.

Just wondering when you signed up did you get the $10?

I assume the $10 can't be used in the play store

Yeah, I got the $10. Cant be used in the play store. I used it before when wallet first came out. Im down to $2.22 now.

Anywhere that does PayPass should take it. Tim Hortons does. I think some Petro Canada gas stations do. Cant say if MacDonalds does here in Canada or not. Don't really eat there that often. Just look for the NFC/PayPass logo.

there is a paypass locator. Toss in an area, should give you options.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chdade:
I've used mine at the IGA/Hartmans on Bank St and at the McDonald's on Elgin. But it didn't work at the Staples on Bank even though they have PayPass. I checked the PayPass locator and they list 670 locations in Ottawa/Gatineau.. So grocery shopping, fast food, gas stations. The PayPass thing also says that most BeerStores use PayPass. Now that's how you should spend your ten google dollars :D

Has anyone successfully set up and used their Canadian credit card to make an instore purchase with Wallet. I followed the directions for getting the new cloud based Wallet running on my NS and then added my Canadian credit card through the google.com/wallet website. I used my actual address info for setting it up online. When I pulled up Wallet on my phone the card was added and but I had to go through a one time setup which asked for a US address. I kept my street and city info the same but used a US state and zip code and the card was successfully added and a message said it is now ready to use. Will it work now if I use PayPass at Tim Hortons or McDonald's?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Roscopcoletrain:
Im at the same point. Card is added. But I havent been into the city to try it anywhere. Keep us posted if it works.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mk_ln:
chances are it will fail since credit card info in google wallet does not match official billing address.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Roscopcoletrain:
no doubt, its what I expect, but we wont know until someone at least tries it. :silly:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] icepixie:
Loblaws has paypass and they also have self checkouts, so if it's later at night and not that busy, I suggest giving google wallet a shot. :p That way you're not embarassing yourself in front of a cashier or a long lineup of people.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] HeroKhar:
It will fail 100%, when you use the card, the info will be verified, the card's info is not correct, the transaction fails
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mk_ln:
even after adding a US registered prepaid card, wallet still refuses to work in Canada.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] beng2k:
100% it will fail if you used a US address to setup a Canadian CC. I used up my prepaid $10 no problem at any pay pass terminal (I used it at Timmy's and Dairy Queen). I setup my RBC Visa using my free postal address in the states and while the card was added and "setup and ready for use" it was declined everytime. I tried using it at McDonalds, Tims, Lob laws, Dairy Queen, and Pietro with no luck. It looks as though its going to work but gets declined all the time.

Likely address related.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] HeroKhar:
The settings in the online Google Wallet must match the one on your phone, so add it online first, then go to your phone, add the card, and match it.

yep, i figured that they should match and they do, but wallet still refuses to work; gets declined on seller's end.

Interesting, in a mall near me, all of the vending machines have been upgraded with NFC payments. Strangely, out of the ~10 machines, only one worked with my Google Prepaid Card and not with my MasterCard in Canada.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] titanic_fanatic:
Hey guys, just thought I should post to let everyone know that I think google wallet is starting to accept Canadian visa debit cards as method of payment. I have one from TD and my room mate, one from CIBC.

I have been trying to purchase from google play with my TD visa debit and have been unsuccessful since I got it over 4 months ago.

Yesterday, however, was a different story. I went to add a new credit card as I usually do while cruising the play store via the google play app. I hit submit only expecting to be greeted with another declined message, but to my surprise, it added my card and accepted my payment, then the app started to download. Hallelujah ;)

I thought maybe it was a glitch and that it would later cancel, so I got my room mate to add his CIBC visa debit. He added his through the Web browser by browsing to google wallet. He was also able to then purchase an app using the card he added. It worked!

I then checked my banking statement, and to my surprise again, the payments were there and listed as "GOOGLE*DEVNAME _v" where DEVNAME seems to be about 8 characters of the developer name from whom the app was purchased.

I would assume that this means that the cards issued by RBC will also work as this is controlled by visa and not the financial institution issuing it.

Thanks GOOGLE :)

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Roscopcoletrain:
I was able to add my RBC debit via the web. It seemed to activate fine on the app. I purchased an app in the play store via the web while I was waiting for it to activate. I guess next step will be to try it in store with NFC.

Confirmed working with my TD Vist Debit card. I tried it last week on monday and it kept declining it. Wow google good job!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rohin_adalja:
Wait what? Ur saying google wallet works in a store now with canadian card? Where exactly did you try it?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] PushyPhoenix:
Thank you very much for keeping up this thread and reporting success!

Early last month, when I found that my TD Visa Debit wouldn't work, I sent an email to their support with a link and quote from their own "accepted methods of payment" page which indicated these cards are accepted, and they responded saying they're not. When I got the "customer satisfaction" survey, I sent the same information but never heard back and assumed it was lost in bureaucracy. Perhaps enough users raised their voices that we were finally heard!

Just now, I've successfully added my TD Visa Debit to Google Wallet and made a purchase from an independent online merchant. It worked!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fieldside:
Does it work in stores?

Can you use it in Tim Horton or McDonald etc....?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tetrahedonism:
It works for online purchases only currently. I've tried to use it in a ton of stores (Starbucks, McDonalds, Timmies, Petro Can, anywhere that had paypass) and it kept saying it wasn't available in "my country" (Canada).

We'll just have to wait I suppose. CIBC has one out, but it only works on the Galaxy SIII

[Desire General] for3cas7:
So after two long years of using, what I can only describe as the most stable phone I've ever used, I've upgraded to a galaxy s3.

My 2 daughters generally fight over who can use the iPod to watch BBC iPlayer when they goto bed at night, or when they're bored during the day..

I now have a phone sitting in a drawer and it got me thinking If there is any way I can give my desire a new lease of life and give it to my daughter to use for accessing the BBC website? That way one can watch on the iPad, the other on the desire.

I'm only concerned about them using the phone to call the emergency services by accident. Is there anyway I can disable the phone for making calls an still keep the wireless/functionality the same ?

Any comments appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] gie62001:
Maybe you can hide call/dialer button from the app drawer (try apps like audio manager-you can lock/hide anything with this app. Also you can remove dialer icon from home screen

And just try searching on market there must be a way to disable it with some app :)

Also our good friend Google can always help you :) good luck

Hi everyone,

The bluetooth on my GSIII has been a complete failure. You can follow the saga here (http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w245-b-class/1662643-2009-w245-samsung-galaxy-s-iii.html), but basically it connects to my car and has no sound with the stock ROM and refuses to connect to the car at all with the AOKP JB build. It suggests an android problem, so I'm wondering if the bluetooth stack can be reloaded to reflashed with something different. If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phoneguy589:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] masterivc:
Try CM9. Bluetooth works much better with it. CM10 should have it fixed as well in a day or two.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evilmonkey1987:
Here's a 'six months later' update. My phone went through various android updates and I'm now on Android 4.1.1 (up from 4.0.4). The problem was still not solved, but instead of no audio, I now have one way audio, where people hear me but I don't hear them through bluetooth. I have also gone through a number of custom ROMs and kernels for my phone (including CM9/10 and AOKP) and nothing helped with the issue.

A couple of days ago, my girlfriend's HTC One X (finally!) got its Android update, also from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Her phone now works like a charm with the in-car bluetooth.

The solution I ended up with was a car cradle and a couple of NFC tags to control my phone in the car. My NFC tag that's stuck to my car cradle turns off WiFi, starts car mode, starts a car home app and turns my volume to max. All I have to do after that is connect the 3.5mm audio cable and I use my phone in place of the car's infotainment system. That way the phone integrates into the car as well and the only thing I lose are the steering wheel controls (they still work for volume).

My less technologically inclined girlfriend now has everything work auto-magicallly with bluetooth. So I guess all's well that ends well, but to anyone considering a US-spec Galaxy S III, watch out: the bluetooth issue is still not fixed. If bluetooth is critical, consider the HTC One X (but be warned: it has awful battery life!)

I have no issues with stereo Bluetooth and mono Bluetooth. Everything and everyone hears and plays fine. It might be an issue with your headset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luncht1me:
Colby. What version of android, kernel / rom combo are you using?? There's SOOO many people having problems with JB and bluetooth, regardless of rom or kernel setup.

If you're on stock... just nm then.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grospolina:
What's wrong with stock? I have no major issues with streaming BT from my phone to my Mazda 3 head unit, or to my Sony MW600 earphones. Even track titles work (the only thing that doesn't work is time display). In my experience, Bluetooth works best on the stock ROM.

Stock Rogers ROM (DLK4 - JB 4.1.1), rooted

KT747 (1/9/2013) kernel

CWM Recovery 6.0.2.3

PlayerPro Music Player

On my old Xperia X10, I had CM7 and had no end of issues with BT:

- Sometimes it would connect and there would be no sound

- Sometimes it wouldn't connect at all

- Sometimes it would cut out after switching songs

- It would stutter a lot whenever Wi-Fi was enabled (but I think that was a problem with the Xperia).

When I tried CM10.0 on my S3 I had similar connection issues, just not as bad. Also, the volume gain over BT was much lower, so I had to turn the car speakers way up. Stock 4.1.1 doesn't have any of these problems. The only problem I had was the audio switching over to speaker after turning off the car, but I fixed it.

Also, BT is apparently broken in 4.2.1 in general, not just CM10.1. Google confirmed a BT patch that works on the Nexus 7, due for release with 4.2.2: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smar...confirms-android-4-2-bluetooth-streaming-flaw

TIP: Don't forget to turn up the volume on your phone. I don't know how many times I accidentally turned down the volume and thought that it wasn't working. Now I have Tasker do it for me whenever I connect. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] colbynmeghan:
4.1.2 has Bluetooth working use it everyday. (Stock and ROM.) Can't tell u which combo I use at a time. I flash a different ROM everyday. As 4.2.1bluetooth is broken expect for task's AOKP. He has it workingish.

Now as connecting to a car. Depends on what it connects as. And I've learned going to and from ROMs when u connect a source hit the volume up 9/10 times it works
