You don't have the tap and pay option at the top.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkkterror:
The app works, yes. Google recently updated the Wallet app so that it would install on almost any phone. The tap and pay NFC functionality, however, only works on supported devices/carriers.

A recent update to Google Wallet has made it usable, but limited for most of the latest Android devices. However, to use the NFC feature is only allowed on Nexus phonest.

I just purchased my Note3 yesterday from my local T-Mobile store. I have been using my Note2 for just a year, and have been using ISIS everywhere until they stopped the pre-paid function. Now, you need to either have an American Express card (not the pre-paid version) or be a Chase bank customer (which i'm not) to use the full functionality of ISIS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] budco2000:
Why does the carriers have anything to do with google wallet. Wallet is it's own stand alone app that utilizes NFC which is built in. It is also illegal for any carrier to dictate what data you can you, meaning if wallet uses any data during the tap and pay transaction, carriers can't block them packets. I don't understand what the carriers have to do with it. They don't dictate what bluetooth devices I use, how can they dictate what apps use NFC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Q N1NJA:
I used my Wallet from Nexus 4 to buy my wifes Note3 at Tmobile store. They should put dropping Isis on their uncarrier list.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lawalty:
DITTO!

I didn't think of it like that. I paid full price for my Note 3, which I should be able to use the NFC feature wherever anywhere that accepts tap-&-pay. It is pulled from monies that I set aside to use it with. Why should any of the carriers care?

I was using isis until just recently when they discontinued their loadable payment feature. Now, to use isis like Google wallet, you need either an American Express card (not the prepaid versions) connected to isis, or to be a member of Chase bank, which I am not.

Now, because of illegal monopolies, I can't use NFC tap-&-pay like it's meant to be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Well as the market saturates with smart phones everybody is figuring out other ways to make money. People should really start voting with their wallets and buying phones with features that are not prohibited, even if that means buying unsubsidized AND unbranded. And the masses are going to choose what is convenient. Just look at apple. Their users are at apple's mercy and that why the sheep think everything apple puts on their plate is magical. We need to circumvent whatever to use Google wallet or other services. It seems the winner will be whoever makes it more convenient to use. Isis and Google wallet each lose a point for access and pathway to funds that can be used. As of right now I have no interest in Isis because as pointed out, they shouldn't have that much control of our devices. If the masses keep buying whatever the carriers put on the plate they have a better chance of winning the digital wallet war.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gwhaley:
Does anybody have an idea of how it's actually getting blocked? Is Google just bending to the will of the carriers not activate that feature unless it's installed on specific models.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Carriers aren't allowing it. Samsung and other OEM's are bending to their will. As of now, maybe changing the build.prop might work or not. Possibly other factors too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] software2:
Easily the top feature this phone is missing. Stupid ISIS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lawalty:
Remember using Redbox for the first time renting a movie? Remember that "oh how convenient" feeling you got after using it? Well, that's exactly how I felt using my phone's to tap-&-pay using isis, paying for my lunch at McDonald's.

It's incredibly simple, and very manageable.

Edit: Here is a funny but true video about illegal monopolies with your cable company. The same can be said about the American mobile carriers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tdoughone:
I used Google wallet easily on my nexus 4. I have Google wallet set up on my note 3, but I don't see the option to tap and pay the way it displays on the n4. If someone can tell me how to do it, I'll try it ASAP today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
OK, here's some technical info.

The Play Store installs two different versions of the Wallet 2.0 app, depending on whether you present yourself as an NFC-pay supported phone (via build.prop values) or not.

If you change your build.prop to be, say, the Sprint Note 2 (SPH-L900 t0ltespr) and then install Wallet from the Play Store, you will get the NFC-pay enabled version. All other phones get the "castrated" version.

Now, on Note 3, even if you do that, there a few things Sucksung/T-Mobile did in the stock ROM (completely reversible) to make NFC-pay on Wallet not work.

First, they removed the Wallet signature keys from /etc/nfcee_access.xml, so Wallet will complain it doesn't have sufficient privileges to the secure element. That's fine - you just add the keys back (get them from any AOSP ROM), and boom, Wallet has access to the secure element again.

Then, there are a few other bits and pieces of system software (libraries and kernel modules) that I'm trying to figure out that need to be in place for Wallet to work, as right now it just FCs. If not me, then someone will probably beat me to putting together a "fix" ZIP package that will re-enable Wallet on the stock ROM.

This problem, of course, will not be present on any AOSP ROM as all the required bits are included in those by default.

Also, remember Wallet 2.0 no longer includes a root, region, or carrier check, so "Wallet Patcher" plugins for XPosed or anything like that are not required.

The way to set up NFC-pay enabled Wallet 2.0 on an unsupported device (with a ROM that hasn't been carrier-castrated to disable NFC-pay):

1. Change your build.prop to masquerade as a supported device (e.g., SPH-L900 t0ltespr) and reboot.

2. Go to Play Store, install Wallet.

3. Launch Wallet and set it up as usual. Once it finishes and you see "Ready to Tap and Pay" undearneath your Wallet balance, you're good.

4. Restore your build.prop to its original values and reboot. Wallet NFC-pay will remain working.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Good info. You should re-post your comment as a regular toplevel post so it doesn't get buried here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
That's the other bit you have to undo in the stock ROM - currently trying to figure out how. Someone with more CSC/Stocksung ROM experience can probably figure it out faster. It's why I can't wait for AOSP/Cyanogen to start building for this phone.

Thank you. Don't want to create duplicate threads - can OP just quote my post in the first post of this thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsmikeramsay:
Change the model of the phone to Sprint's Note 3 version and try it out... That can be achieved in the build.prop.... I think it's the product model if I'm not mistaken.... Of course by doing this, there will be some side effects, you wont be able to see T-Mobile apps in Google Play, you'll see Sprint's apps as well.... Don't have my Note 3 to confirm if it works or not, but hey... test and see

Glad you are in here, I been messing with it and getting force closes. I already posted a comment and i know its some libs that needed to be modded, I tried pulling sprints but I know it takes a little more than that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
My pleasure. Look at the Wallet libfix packages for the SGS4 - this will clue you in as to what files are missing. There are a couple of kernel modules (.so), .jars, and the two NFC APKs, plus the access XML and a couple of other files, too.

Mind it we need to get 4.3 versions of those files, just grabbing them from a 4.2.2 libfix package won't work. I will look into it more this weekend.

It's ****. They disable amazing gwallet for this stupid proprietary ****.

Doesn't work on root, only supports 3 card companies.

Note 3 came with isis card and bloatware, yet they forgot this app. Avoid this trash. They are cowards.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
It works on root if you installed the ISIS Root Bypass mod for Xposed. That said, it is utter garbage. Slow, clunky, poorly laid out, and generally trash. Good it uses the secure element in the ISIS SIM card and not in the phone so you can use Google Wallet concurrently.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bdorr1105:
Yea I pulled all the same ones from the international phone and sprint, trying to get NFC to turn on at this time, no force closes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Meanee:
And lose features that may be useful. Like, for example, WiFi calling.

Carriers are in it to make money. It sucks that they are eliminating choice, but this is something that they can do. Same way some carriers block tethering apps on Play. I do not recall any uproar over that. They'd rather have you purchase a hotspot plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
We still have choice. Wifi calling isn't all that big a feature when there are a myriad of free and cheap alternatives. And there was an uproar over the tethering apps. Who wants to be charged twice for the same data? Its called double dipping.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noc007:
IIRC they announced in the summer that they would be rolling out nationwide. Back in August I was in the Toys R Us by Mall of GA and the terminal had both ISIS and Google Walled logos among many on it.

IMHO ISIS isn't going to succeed if they only support a couple of cards. Don't want to trip the eFuse, but I've got a list of stuff I want to do that requires temporary root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lawalty:
Honestly, I've used ISIS for about a whole year when I purchased my Note 2. Right before the Note 3 came out, the fine people that runs ISIS made the decision to stop their prepaid program. Where like the Starbucks app, which you can add money to. ISIS just stopped it! Now, they are only limiting it to only a few cards, and chase back account customers.

Which is why Google Wallet is so desirable to me.

To vote with my wallet, I'm thinking about returning my precious Note 3 and go for the upcoming Nexus 5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Meanee:
WiFi calling is great when you want to use your own number. For example, last job I had, I worked in a basement with zero reception. But we had good WiFi. So my phone was always on and available. I did not have to do any stuff with Skype.

Unfortunately, all these uproars are from "local few" and carriers don't really care. Your garden-variety user will not root their phone, install tethering, modify build.prop, and so on. So they take whatever carrier shoves in their face. And they may be ok with pile of crap like Isis. And carriers can sit back and count money they get as royalties/kickbacks/service fees/etc.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

To vote with your wallet, you need to move to Sprint. It's the carrier who said that you cannot use Wallet. Not the phone manufacturer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lawalty:
You gotta point! However, if it's not feasible for my wife and I to switch carriers, i would rather just switch phones that don't have those pesky carrier restrictions. The Nexus lines naturally use Google Wallet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wing_addict_usa:
Google dropped the prepaid card too and added a universal proxy card that rolls. Amazing!

I agree carriers need to make money but this is a FAILURE! they will lose money and have to raise prices. This is retarded in so many ways. Complete failure. Even gwallet was a long shot but would be mildly successful. Dumb **** that wastes our time and their money because of greed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Defenestratus:
Hate to invoke thread necromancy, but has the effort to get Wallet tap-to-pay on the Note 3 hit a roadblock? Used to use it all the time on my verizon galaxy nexus. Got the universal proxy card and love using it (I get the "I've never seen this before" comment from waitresses and store clerks all the time) but I'd love to just use tap when possible.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I've heard that Google will be releasing a new version of wallet which won't rely on the secure element to get around what the carriers are doing. I think it might require 4.4 though.

As for ISIS, I've used it a couple times. I'm rooted and use xposed with x privacy (block shell access), works without any problem.

"just add the keys back (get them from any AOSP ROM), and boom, Wallet has access to the secure element again."?

Also, I'm guessing I'm going to have to be rooted to change the build prop file, what is the best method of doing this as well?
