[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cynter:
hello, anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Ok, so I know there has been a lot of talk about this already. I searched and read numerous posts but I am still having problems. I dont know if I am reading old threads about this or what but this is what i have done. I downloaded "wallet installer". Im not sure how old the version was but it did in fact change the build prop to say nexus. I installed google wallet and now the "setup tap and pay" tab was finally there. I added a card to set it up and the card was added fine. But then it says "tap and pay failed". I don't know how to fix this problem at this point. I have even tried getting an older version of google wallet, but that did not work either. I tried the xposed installer, but it didnt work either. Is it possible to get this working on our phones?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I was having the same issues as you. I would install the GW Installer, reboot to find my device ID changed to GNex, install GW from the market and set up Tap and Pay, then Restore my build.prop in the GW Installer only to find out that the TnP feature wouldn't survive the build.prop restore. (I think the problem stems from an old version of GWInstaller and the new version of GW.apk. Installer needs updated I believe)

I did it probably 6 times and failed each time. But, in the end I used Loserskater's modded version (which is the latest) and it works fine. Just uninstall any version you have of GW and then push his modded version to /system/app and set permissions, reboot. Open up GW and set up TnP and your are good to go from there.

My Google Wallet physical card should arrive today in the mail. Right in time for Christmas shopping.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Hey thank you for the help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Hey thank you for the help but. I am assuming that link you gave i am going all the way back to the beginning page. There are 3 downloads. All of which say application not installed after i download....unless im not downloading the right one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Ok. These are not apps that you install in the traditional way (ie Package Installer). What you want to do is go the the OP of that thread I linked and download this one (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.0-R141-V14-MODDED.apk). Then using a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES, you copy that apk and open /system/app and paste it there. Once you do that, longpress on the app and set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r). Once that is done, back out of your file explorer and reboot. Then your GW will be installed. Upon reboot, you'll see it say, Updating Apps 1 of 1.

Open you app drawer, fire up the app and set up TnP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Ok i downladed that apk. If i go to my regular download app i see the apk but i can copy or move it from ther so i went into ES and i went to sdcardo/dowloads but dont see the apk there. Where woukd it be?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Based on your signature, are you doing this on Tapatalk? If so, then your apk is in your tapatalk default download folder (wherever you have that located) and not in the normal "downloads" folder.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
I meant i "cant" copy from the regular download manager. But i dont see the apk in ES
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Don't use the Download Manager.

Where is your tapatalk folder located? Give me the pathway.

Edit: Do you have a Tapatalk icon in your notificaiton bar stating that you downloaded the app?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
I dont know what tapatalk is but i got a notification that it was downloaded, yes. While in ES, i searched for the apk and found it but then i tried moving it, but it wouldnt move to the system/app file. I dont know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
It says copy task failed when i try to "copy to" or move task failed when i try to "move to". Maybe its doing this because i searched for the file in ES instead of locating in manually?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Ok then. So you found the app. That is good. The reason why it won't move to /system/app is probably becuase you need to mount the /system partition in the file explorer. Since I don't use ES, I can't help you with that.

With Root Explorer, there is a button on the top left that stated "Mount R/O or Mount R/W". You need to mount your /system/app as RW.

Edit:

Here is how to mount it and where to find the settings to do so with ES.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Refer to my post just before your last one.

In your screen shot, look at the Blue !, See the very end where it says Read-Only file system? That is what I mean about you needing to make it Read-Write.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Lol..so close, yet so far. I think that link you just sent explains how to get the ES app. Im confused because after reading that thread i dont see where it explains how to make the wallet apk file writeable to be able to copy and paste to system/app using ES.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Would you be able to help me better if i purchased root explorer? I will do that if so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
I see two selections for R/o and R/w....i can make "path" r/o and r/w.....and i can also make "system" r/0 or r/w. So i do r/w on both or no?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
The link that I posted was to show you how to use ES file explorer to mount /system.

You don't need to do anything to the Wallet app other than copy/paste.

That is your choice. All you would have to do is re-read this thread and follow the instuctions I posted earlier.

Yes. Make system RW. Then copy yout Wallet apk after you do that to /system/app. Longpress to set permissions to 644 (rw-r-r) and reboot.

Let's get someone else in here that might know more about ES.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Ok i got it to copy to system/app. When i long press it highlighta the app. Then i go to properties and i see permissions but it doesnt give me option to write anything. It has a change button.

Sent from my SGH-T999

After i click "change", it shows this : using xda app-developers app

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
You are not "writing" anything. Writing refers to making the file system a writable partition. In what we are doing, you are "writing" the apk to /system/app.

Your permissions are set correctly. Just reboot now and you should see at boot a toast that says something like "Updating Apps 1 of 1". From there all you have to do is open Wallet and set it up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Ok, sorry for the delay. I took a step back and started over. Take a look at this, i wanted to make sure i did it right. Which one do i set on "r/w"? It says:

Path

/ r/o r/w

System

/ r/o r/w
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Ok whatever i checked both. Rebooted. Opened wallet. Tap and pay setup is there but back to square 1 with "tap and pay setup failed".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I can't help you anymore with ES. See if someone else pops in the help. If you want to buy Root Explorer I can help you from there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Well thanks for the help. In any event, i did in fact get the apk copied into system/app but you said make sure to set root permissisions to 644 rw-r-r or something like that. The root permissions say rwx rwx rwx. There is a change buttun but it just goes into the next screen and has a bunch of check boxes. I dont know. Anyway, i rebooted and same old stuff "setup tap and pay failed". Real frustrating. I really do appreciate you taking time to belp me out. I would at this point buy root explorer but it seems the failed message would be the same since i got as far as installing the app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Ok. Let's start from the beginning.

Uninstall any copy of Wallet that you have.

Reboot (can wipe /dalvik-cache in recovery if you feel the need)

Now open ES file explore and copy the Modded Wallet apk and paste it in /system/app.

See first picture below.

Now longpress on the Wallet apk and give it permissions like the picture below.

You permission need to look like mine do in the first picture where is says rw-r-r and the second where I show the appropriate checkmarks.

Reboot

Open Wallet apk and set up.

No reason for it not to work unless you have an old Wallet app sitting in /Data/app or /System/app that you didn't delete. When you uninstalled in step 1, they should be gone at that point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Checking the two boxes will help you successfully copy the apk to /system/app. It does not set the permissions.

Since you are using ES File Explorer, I will help you set the permissions correct.

Please see this post as it has the correct image. That post sets the permissions for Framework-res.apk You need to set the checkboxes in ES File explorer identically for your app. Once the Checkboxes are set like so

X X [ ]

X [ ] [ ]

X [ ] [ ]

You hit OK. That will take you back to the properties screen where you had hit the change button. Make sure that screen shows permissions as RW-R-R. There may or may not be a toast notification of

"change permissions successful"

Exit out of there, go to recovery, wipe Dalvik + Cache then reboot.

[MENTION=3200478]Woody[/MENTION], I was following this discussion even otherwise :) Just shut up since I don't use the wallet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Still same issue. I just downloaded toasted marshmallow. I've read that aosp ROMs don't get that NFC issue. Can someone post a link for gaaps please?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Are you Serious ?

Are you really trying to hijack your own thread for a Rom Discussion now ? That will make anyone think very hard before helping you.

You have given the world's tersest reply to what we both explained you to do. You as the requester is expected to provide in detail what happened after you tried the steps. That tells us you actually read the steps.

If you want Gapps, there must be one on the Rom's thread if you care to read. If not then search for Team Blackout Gapps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Thank you everyone for the time and help. I actually finally got it to work on toasted marshmallow.

Perseus, yea I was seriously asking for a quick link to gaaps. I didn't see a link to gaaps in toasted marshmallow thread and search button came up with nothing for gaaps. I also thought I was pretty thorough in explaining step by step the problem that I was and still am facing with Google wallet and touchwiz 4.1.2 with provided screenshots. If you are implying that i am being disrespectful by giving up on this thread then i apologize and will continue, but it seems as though I went through the exact steps with no luck so I didn't want to continue to bother anyone and plus i got it working with aosp 4.1.2. Thanks again guys for your help.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] roscored1000:
Not sure what wrong with my Prime,

1.

It has been dropping strong wifi sites on a regular basis for a long time. It will connect ok but if I let it go to sleep or change apps it will usually drop the connection. Have set power settings not to drop wifi, but that makes no change. No idea what is the problem.

2.

When using the built in library app and changing pages in epub book the screen will sometimes go black and wont come back on for a minute or 2. Sometimes it happens when rotating the screen. No idea?

It is rooted but using the OTA standard ROM.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xpdx:
Hi all. Just got my Nexus 5 in the mail. It mostly looks great, but the volume and power buttons are loose and rattly, as many have complained about here. I had this problem with an old HTC phone, and it eventually drove me nuts. Not sure I can hang with it in this case either. Question is, is it worth going through the whole replacement process to try to get a better unit, or are they pretty much all like this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beats4x:
I got mine today, buttons are secure and make no noise whatsoever. Give it a shot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Out of all the problems this would be the least worrying for me. There's a good chance certain cases even would fix this and I would hate to receive a replacement with worse problems.

My power button wiggles but no audible sounds are heard with heavy tapping.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmmBACON:
My buttons were solid as a rock initially. They loosened up a little bit after about a week. Yesterday you could hear/feel the rattle whenever you were typing or pressing anywhere near the volume rocker or power button. They would also rattle and shake when you jiggled the phone.

I thought about exchanging it, but other than the rattling the phone was perfect. I didn't want to switch and end up with a worse problem, dead pixels, speaker issues, or whatever else people have been mentioning.

I ended up doing the fix that I saw on youtube, may have originated from someone here. Popped the case off and put tiny pieces of paper between the power button/switch and volume rockers/switches to eliminate the gap between the switch and the the floating buttons (they're not physically attached). The only difference was I used sticky notes with the tacky side facing out towards the buttons so the paper will never have a chance to shift out of place.

Buttons are rock solid again, even more firm than before.

*Last resort of course. Tinkering with the inside voids your warranty.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris6278:
My first N5 had loose power button and loose volume rocker that rattled quite a bit so i replaced it. The buttons on my new one are perfect, no rattling at all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
I wonder if anyone has tried picking up a PS4 and shook that to see if anything rattles?

Its not a £600 CNC machined statement to the world, its a 300 quid phone and how anyone can make a mountain of this particular mole hill is way beyond me. The mass of the buttons is so small the noise generated is hardly the equivalent of shoving your head in the speakers at a Prodigy gig.

FWIW my power button rattles if i shake the phone however i very rarely shake the phone in such a fashion that i would hear it and thankfully i am one of the few that owns a Nexus 5 and doesn't seem to live in an anechoic chamber
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmmBACON:
While I understand your analogy, your comparison is kind of ridiculous as the PS4 is not a device that's primarily meant to be used and abused, or handled in situations like a mobile device is. A smartphone is meant to be taken everywhere, tossed in bags/pockets, have fingers beating on it for hours a day... A PS4 on the other hand is primarily meant to be stationary with minimal movement. It's built to a different standard.

I can throw in an extraneous irrelevant comparison like yours. I've got a $90 Canon SD1100 IS from 5 years ago with a camera button that's meant to be pressed over and over again, it is also a floating button, and it doesn't rattle. It clicks as it's supposed to and remains solid otherwise. It was also dirt cheap but still built solidly. I've taken thousands of pictures with that thing and the button is still exactly the same as the day I bought it.

My Nexus 5 buttons were initially solid, but to have them degrade and become wobbly and flimsy after only a few weeks was a little disheartening. Sending text messages, or tapping the screen anywhere near the volume/power caused them to rattle. Yeah it was $400, and several hundred cheaper than other flagships, but it's still a button, designed to be pressed over and over again. To have it become loose and jiggly so quickly (or for some people, ship like that) is unacceptable to me. It was an easy fix for me, but for others I can totally understand them wanting to exchange it for a better built unit. The button rattle was even brought up in the Anandtech Nexus 5 review.

If you don't care about the rattle, or accept it because the cost of the unit is less than other phones, that's fine. But don't tell other people to disregard it because it's cheap. Like my cheap $90 5 year old camera, something can be cheap and still be built to a good standard. The Nexus 5 is a fantastic device, but a flaw is a flaw, and I understand people not ignoring it.

My volume rocker rattles pretty badly. I hear it when I have haptic feedback on and am texting. It's almost gotten to the point where I think I just might get a replacement but the only problem is I would not have a phone while I am waiting for a replacement
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmmBACON:
There apparently has already been a new revision of Nexus 5 hardware out that fixes the rattle problems (and speaker).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557699

You can see the housing around the buttons is much thinner/tighter now to prevent the lateral jiggling. The speaker grill holes are also larger.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b.spec:
My volume and power buttons are fine, although there's a slight rattle when I shake it due to the internal components (i.e. if I hold both rockers firm to the casing and give it a slight shake, I hear it).

However, out of curiosity I did the same thing with my N4 and it rattled too, which I noticed for the first time just then. Honestly, I don't even notice it. Like many have said, it's the very least of the problems and I wouldn't risk receiving a replacement with something worse like dead pixels.

Yes they very slightly wiggle in the slot, not a big deal to me. I was more concerned with the 4 dead pixels.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
What do you guys mean by "loose" like its going to fall out or something? If I roll my finger over the button they have some wiggle room which is normal on almost every mobile device I have had. My buttons don't make any noise or anything though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmmBACON:
No the buttons won't fall out, but they rattle. If you shake it, it rattles. If you are typing or tapping the screen anywhere near the buttons, it jiggles in the casing. I ignored it for a while, but eventually it was the only thing I could focus on. If you have it, it means the housing around the buttons is too loose and there is a gap between the buttons and the switches. Normally, the switch is in contact with the button and that presses it enough against the casing to keep it firm, but if there is a gap the button with bounce around because it is not physically attached to the casing. It is just a floating button held in place.

Mine was worse than what this guy had before I modded it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R4xncTGLaU

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantomscribla:
My power button is a bit loose, it wiggles a bit if I keep passing my thumb on it and if I tap the screen close to that area it rattles (nothing to be bothered about). I've seen a fix for the rattle by placing a small piece of paper between the button and the contact so there won't be any space for the button to move, but it's not a big deal for me. I'm gonna put the phone into a Diztronic Case and hopefully that stops the shaking. Otherwise everything else is perfect.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
Some of your "rattle" noises might not just be the button. Phones usually rattle because of the accelerometer/gyroscope. I also heard the camera stabilization ring has a moving part.

If you tap on any iPhone back it will rattle because of the gyroscope/compass part.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmmBACON:
I took that into account with mine. The accelerometer, gyro, OIS, etc is a very quiet sound. That movement sound is quite different and not as prominent as the buttons, which is an obvious rattle. When I was testing the differences, I even held the buttons stationary to distinguish the different rattle noises.

After I modded it, the only noise it made was due to the accelerometer/gyro/OIS.
