I had a cashier at a gas station accuse me of trying to hack the terminal because I was using wallet. She thought I had made an app myself to get people's credit info. She even called the police and I had to show them exactly what I was doing. They eventually told her she's stupid (in not so many words) and sent me on my way.

I've also had to tell almost every cashier to hit the credit button because they are completely oblivious around here.....hell, places like mobile have pay pass, and cumberland farms has their own nfc app that uses your paypal account....but even the cashiers at those stores are too stupid to hit the button. After you've been to the store a few times, they finally learn what to do, but I feel like I'm training people to do their own job sometimes. It's not like there's not a good handful of devices that support wallet now, either :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
lol....

Ah, I remember using my Nexus 10 down at McDonalds and having it fail... tried it a few times in a row even to no avail. Ended up just using my RF credit card (I kind of fail to see any "real" reason for these cards though lol). Also I take pictures with my tablet just fine, kinda wish my N4 and N10 cameras were switched though (N10 having the 8MP camera) :good:

Try opening the app before you tap the phone. I haven't had a long "setting up" time since I've been opening the app first. Always a fast transaction now.
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
Thanks for the website. I live in a small town of like 20k people and that site pulled up only two places with PayPass and I have a question. How accurate is it? Is this a full-blown REAL database of all stores that have PayPass, or is it like a registry that stores have the option to go to and say they have it, kind of like a "Hey, we use this service, come shop here!" thing?

I ask because I'm pretty sure I know of two gas stations that have PayPass.in my town and they aren't listed. It wouldn't surprise me that they wouldn't register their ability to use PayPass if they didn't have to because of the small-town mentality.

Are there any other NFC Card-reader station service things or does Mastercard have a monopoly on it with PayPass? Does Visa have one? If so, then maybe that's what I'm thinking of. I'm pretty sure those two places in question have some sort of NFC card reader, whether it be PayPass or whatever.
[Nexus 4 General] SpookyTunes:
For my area it seems fairly complete, but only MasterCard could answer that. I believe Google Wallet piggy backs off MasterCard PayPass, so this would be the most complete list I know of. There are places like BestBuy which have (Google Wallet) terminals, but never connected them.

This is not the same as Speedpass which Mobile and Exxon are using:

The only other system I know of ISIS, but this still limited to Salt Lake City and Austin:

I tried out Google Wallet at my local Harris Teeter (well, I attempted to), but I failed each time. I think the Harris Teeter is a black hole for my T-mobile service, so my phone could never establish a connection to the server to complete the transaction. Luckily I was in the self checkout lane, so I don't think anyone noticed my Wallet fail.

I have seen people at the grocery store using their full-sized Ipad for their grocery shopping checklist. I don't think it gets much more ridiculous than that.
[Nexus 4 General] Andrew025:
You don't have to have a connection for it to work.
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
I'm betting that the issue is on the store's end and not yours. I have a CVS near me that one of the three registers doesn't work and they know it. They don't know why, but they know it's on their end. The irony is that the one register that doesn't work, is the one that is the only one open 90% of the time.

Also too, my in-laws have two Walgreens within two miles of them and one store works with Google wallet and one doesn't. I mention this because Walgreens specially has a deal with Google and has signage at their terminals that says "accepts Google wallet". Now, in my area, I haven't had an issue with any Walgreens.

Short story long ;) it's not you, it's them

(Based on the fact that your Google wallet is successfully set up)
[Nexus 4 General] masterofmayhem:
Has anyone had wallet work on a previous device and not with the nexus 4? That I'd what happened with me. About half the places that worked with my nexus s do not work with the nexus 4. This makes new think it is a hardware issue.

Mostly hit, but an occasional miss here and there. It is a million times more reliable than my Galaxy Nexus was on Verizon.

Has anyone else noticed that you are sometimes charged more initially, and then it shows up as correct price later on?

just tried it at bj's. double fail. nobody was behind me so its all good lol. well it was really amex's fault because they blocked it on their end. has anyone else tried it with amex? do I have to call em or is it a no go altogether with them? Thanks fellas

It works great with my AMEX card (green one). I use it at Duane Reade, McDonalds, 7-Eleven, and Foot Locker.

Try using the web site on a PC to remove it, then add it with the app on your phone.

So here's what I did so far... The bootloader was unlocked, so I rooted the phone, installed clockwork. I spent hours reading about kernels and the different roms but wasn' really getting anywhere. Since my phone needed to be taken to get repaired anyway I decided to just choose a rom and install it from the guide i was using.

I backed up using clockwork, formatted and installed, and it said it was fine. But when I reboot it just hangs on the Sony Ericsson screen, have to take battery out to turn it off....what can I do now? I can't load the backup image because it won't let me load clockwork. did this happen because I didn't install a custom kernel first?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retrosid:
flash another kernel (supported for your rom always)

boot on cwm

factory reset

mounts and storage > format system

advanced > wipe dalvik cache

advanced > wipe battery stats

flash your desirable rom, flash wifi modules and try again fresh :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
Your kernel is stock and bootloader locked? If so then download pc companion and do a repair and if your bootloader is unlocked then download a stock ftf file for your phone and flash it with flashtool. I had exactly same problem with flashing custom firmwares on my Arc s but after few tries I realized that i need to format every partition excluding sdcard in a "mounts and storage" sub-menu.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

I think his bootloader is locked because he lost a recovery after flashing new rom. His CWM was probably installed with x-parts.

as I said... it wont let me go as far as being able to load up clockwork...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
You are sure that your bootloader is unlocked? Have you ever flashed a custom kernel using fastboot? If yes then try to flash custom kernel with recovery. If this wont help then try to update and reinstall your flashtool and download newest stock ftf for your phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renvaar:
I'm pretty sure it is, as I remember having a similar problem a long time ago and flashing it. problem is I don't have the old files i used before, and I can't find any downloads that work in my country..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
Error code from your flashtool log looks like there is a problem with acquiring permission to flash a firmware and that suggests that your bootloader is locked. Try to download pc companion from sony site and do a repair. If your bootloader is locked this will restore your phone to stock and if your bootloader is unlocked then pcc wont recognize your phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renvaar:
just tried pc companion. it asks me to swipe the bar down, but as I can't get past the logo it wont work. so repair just hangs there...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
What bar... I don't understand what you are talking about. For a repair with pc companion you don't even need to turn on your phone you just click update button and then small blue "repair" text in a popup window then firmware is downloaded and you are asked to turn off your phone and connect usb cable while holding a back button.

I found your previous thread and It looks like your bootloader is unlocked because OTA update bricked your phone. I have a link to a ftf you used last time to repair your phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324707 (its inside of this archive with complete but outdated flashtool and drivers) but you should try a pcc first so we will be sure if your bootloader is locked or not.

Use this http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/ if your bootloader is unlocked it will return it to stock if it does not connect it means your bootloader is locked.It is a new beta tool from sony for the arc:good:

Hello,

I am sort of an noob the came from years of using an iphone. I've had my note 2 for a few months now. I am on 4.1.2. When i installed the 4.2.2 custom rom, I know Spen doesn't work nor AT&T visual voicemail which is fine. But one thing i couldn't live without was the SIRI-like function to talk to text. Is that an option on 4.2.2 because i could't find it anywhere? I just restored it back to 4.1.2. Does anyone how to get all those features back or whether that is even possible. I appreciate any legit info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
What app were you using on 4.1.2 to do talk to text?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] qbz206:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] qbz206:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Ok then you are going to have to stay on TW based roms to keep S-Voice. But know that you are the first person i have met to say that S-Voice is better than google now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
Not true..

I am using svoice now on root box 4.2.2

The way I get it to work is I have it backed up in Titanium Backup

After I restore my apps, I restore S-voice by itself, restoring the APP ONLY..

Start it up, it asks you to accept/confirm, then works just like it does in Touch Wiz..

YMMV, but I have done that a dozen times recently, and it works every time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
I thought it authenticated through Samsungs servers but i guess im wrong. Good to know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
yeah, maybe I am just lucky, but as long I use this backup of it, and don't restore data to it, it works fine on all of the AOSP roms that have been out since I got the phone a couple months ago..

qkster is right about this, but for me its not the playback, you should try different video players, i managed to have smoothly played HD videos on "mobo player"..

the video recording of Infuse 4G on the CM10 ROMs have real issues even put on a steady table, it will still be laggy when played, hope soon this would be fix..

just return to GB if you enjoy your phones video capabilities like me..

i have just sacrifice the cool games i can play with CM10..:rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmony:
Hello everyone,

I have just purchased a new smartphone - Samsung Galaxy Note II (Incredible device).

It was bought in Thailand.

To my surprise it doesn't seem to establish connection to my PC (Windows XP, for files transferring - both directions) via a USB cable.

With my previous Samsung Galaxy Note it was easy, there was, in the settings menu, a feature called "USB utilities" that generate this connection.

In both cases, now and before, there were problems installing the divers:

"There is a problem to install SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device..."

But this did not interfere the previous Samsung Galaxy Note to establish connection to my PC.

Can anyone knows how to solve the problem?

I am already messing around with this subject quite a long time.

I find it hard to believe that Samsung Galaxy Note II doesn't has such capability.

P.S.

I think that this problem is seemingly related to the new firmware 4.1.2 and not to my device. My wife has new Galaxy III with the same problem.

Thanks

[NFC Hacking] Bigewallet:
Hi,

I need to find out how to read the Unique NFC ID in smart phones.

Why?

We have an app. this app must identify the unique NFC ID, in order to use the NFC as an identification of the user. Probably quit similar to using the NFC in your phone to open doors? It is just very important that it is the unique ID and not just a info in the NFC.

Our reader will only read the unique ID.

The best solution

Seen from a users point of view, the best solution would be as this:

1.	The user pushes an “Identify NFC button” in our app.

2.	The app will send a code to the NFC device in the phone and receive the unique ID.

3.	Next time the user swipe the phone at one of our NFC readers – the phone/user will be identified.

Any good advice/help?

Best regards
[NFC Hacking] Mach3.2:
The NFC chip changes the UID with every read, unless it is in card emulation mode.
