Anyone here using Google Wallet? Would like to know how well/not well it's working out. And would it be possible to use a regular Nexus S?

At launch it will only be for NS4G, but I think it will likely come to the T-Mobile version very soon. I'd just as soon let the Sprint guys work out the bugs for us, anyways
It's not out yet. It's supposed to be live this Summer. You can sign up for updates at http://google.com/wallet .
Ya, hopefully all the bugs will be fixed before its available. I can't wait, going to take a pic of my drivers license and I'll be all set. Lol.
Already signed up .
The new Google Shopper requires NFC permissions.
Hmmm, I didn't notice that when I updated the app. Thanks. Things are moving along .

Big brother; big brother; oh how we love yah !!!
man summer is almost over and I have not used my phone to buy a soda yet grrrr j/k I am looking forward to this
I've just spent the past couple of hours trying most of the available apks for Google Wallet. I did manage to get the 1.1r67-v12 version installed and running, however when I go to activate it tells me my hardware is not supported. Supposedly this was a known issue for G3 users on other carriers and Google released a fix for Sprint users. I have yet to find this update available in the form of an APK.
If anybody has access to a Sprint S3, could you please get me the APK?
For those interested, Google for a download link to the 1.1r67-v12 and using root explorer, copy it to both system/app and data/app and then reboot. Make sure the perms are correct (google it, rw--r--r or something similar.
My next steps are to try the build.prop trick in combination with the above apk.
If anybody else has any progress on this, please post below.
Thanks
I thought the Verizon version shipped without NFC (no antenna in battery I mean)

Wait where did you get this idea? Wasn't NFC one of the key features of the Galaxy s 3? it would seem pretty silly for them to take it out. Then again they locked the boot loader =/

The Verizon page for the GS3 has S-Beam as listed. It wouldn't be listed if it didn't have NFC.
Verizon probably won't allow Google Wallet because they have a competing product, called ISIS. Bummer.
**Warning....wild speculation follows....
From what I can tell there is something missing (might be a bug) in the current version of our OS that isn't letting Google Wallet recognize the NFC device. Sprint had the same issue and apparently there was an update released OTA that fixed the issue for most everybody. If we could somehow get ahold of the before and after image and figure out exactly what was changed, we should be able to emulate they fix on the Verizon phone and get Google Wallet working.
I'm going to keep banging away at it, but there are plenty here way more experienced than I.....so here's hoping somebody else is looking at this.
ok...so the Market Enabler trick doesn't work either.
Obviously Google Wallet recognizes our NFC chip as if I turn it off Wallet will complain that it is off until I turn it on.
I've pulled down the two OTA's that Sprint has pushed out. One of which is supposed to fix the issue on Spring S3's.
Anybody know if its possible to extract the files within the updated boot.img files and apply them somehow post boot since we can't modify the current boot.img on the phone?
If anybody is a dev or knows a dev and they wouldn't mind taking a look at this thread, please let me know.

I fully agree.....however I'm sure there are plenty of people out there with the skills required to do this who aren't working on the boot loader problem.
If I knew more than I do now i'd be working on the bootloader problem myself...however my current lack of skills would only serve to impede progress so instead I'm trying to work on stuff wanted by many others.
+1 on this issue.
I just talked to Verizon who said it was Samsung's fault and I talked to Samsung who said it was Verizon's fault, regarding Google wallet not working. So sick of the nonsense.
Christ our backwoods local little country food store has NFC payments. I'm so sick of this crap this should have been our phone and working. I will not be using any Verizon payment systems, screw them.

Its definetly verizons fault. It works on all other carriers yet only verizons phone has the most problems and also their public support behind ISIS only adds fuel to the fire. I wish Verizon listened to their customers for once and stopped trying to control everything.

No APK that I know of. It's actually a really easy fix though. I was a little uneasy doing it but once I went through the process it was easy.
I did the wallet fix yesterday and I had lunch at McDonalds thanks to Google. Read the post and follow the directions as described. Good luck!

Wallet problem
Greetings everyone!
A little background first. Verizon SGS3, rooted and unlocked, but still on stock TW.
I completed the steps in the above mentioned thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083, and everything seems to be working ok. I have made a few purchases and it works, however I am thinking something is wrong.
Let me explain. When I go to make a purchase, it will make the POS machine flash/beep, etc., but then shows on my screen that the trans. may not be good/complete. The cashier continues the sale like normal, the receipt prints and all is good, but it just takes a min standing in line to make sure that all is well. Then after a while, the trans will show up in Wallet (on the phone) in the list.
Is this normal for you all?
Second thing is that I can't see my Google PrePay card in the online Wallet page. I can see the other cards that I have added in both places, phone and online, but I can't manage the new card that was given when I signed up. Therefore, I am stuck adding funds on the phone.
Should I do a reset? Will this lose the $ that I have added to the PrePay card, or will it magically pick it back up when I re-setup Wallet on the phone? I have read that I need to write down the card number (user ID) in case you need it, and I assume that this is one of those times.
Any ideas?
TIA for the help.
I'm not seeing it either unfortunately. I was just getting ready to try the workaround & then saw your post. Oh well, guess I'll still try the workaround.
Is it possibly just a regional thing? I read somewhere that they were getting ready to roll out ISIS in a couple of markets soon - is it possible that they unblocked Wallet in those markets to avoid the 'how do you justify blocking wallet as a security concern if you're now allowing ISIS' question?
Dunno.

There is a post in the general area about it thats where I heard it from but here is the link. When I go to the link it knows I have it installed properly it may take a bit before our S3's see it...

it does say it's not available on my carrier for everything but my S3 thats where it's installed the XDA way. but thats funny because my tablet is WI-Fi only so it should be able to install it to my tab...Check the general section...
Does anyone have their Google Wallet still working? Seems like a wide spread disabling of google wallet on vz occurred over the last two weeks.

The last time I got this issue I didn't flash the correct order of zips from the wallet thread. Upon doing so everything was fixed. I know how to install wallet, I just didn't know if changing your build prop to Sprint made it any easier since they were talking about updating from the market no problem. That was my only question.
Is there a way to 1. Get google wallet to fully function on my Razr HD on verizon? Or 2 if that cant happen, trick isis to not seeing I have root.
Also if I get google wallet to get past the idea my phone is a verizon phone, is there anything in the app for root that could cause problems for me like with isis?

Trust me I tried, the phone is missing the proper OS support with any os before 4.4. Plus the App will ONLY look at NCI. It aint happening untill google updates the chips that it supports and to be running 4.4 so the carrieries can be bypassed.
HCE support is missing from the AOSP stack for NXP NFC controllers. It only works on Broadcom (NCI) controllers. (Unless it was pushed as part of the android-4.4-r1.2 tag...)
So if you have a device with an NXP NFC controller - still no Wallet for you. If your device has the HCE permissions XML (this will only happen if someone made a mistake), Google Wallet will indicate that it's 100% ready for payment, but won't react at all to a payment terminal.
(Another option is if an OEM implements HCE for NXP chips even though it is missing from AOSP.)

I had it working way back before the wallet app was available to all phones, I updated on the assumption that the app would work without it hacked. I got the app from the s3 forum but it was taken down because the dev abandoned it and people had security concerns, all that was done was a mod that disabled the ID checker and told the app the phone was either the Galaxy nexus or the Nexus 4, not sure.
Im just looking for either a build prop edit script that also has the built in undo ability or a modified app by a reputable and trustworthy dev, maybe it was the wrong place to post in the Q&A and I should request a mod to either move to the dev area or FWD the thread link to a few developers to let them see it and have a discussion.
Im honestly NOT trying to start a argument here, I know it CAN be done and HAS before but I cant get instructions how to do it again.

If it can be done on the Razr HD then you would be the first. Many have been trying...search the forum and you will see. The build.prop hacks just dont resolve the issue...with the build.prop modifications you can install the old GW and even start the process of initializing google wallet but then it just hangs there forever. New Google Wallet will install but no tap and pay.
When Android 4.4 comes to the Razr HD then you will have host card emulation and all will be working fine with Google Wallet as it wont need the secure element.
It doesn't even work on 4.4 yet. GW doesn't support our chipset. Once they fix that then we will be good to go.

The hack was supposed to just be a simple change and the effect could have been done the same by a build prop edit according to the thread. Maybe a little more was done I didnt care I only have prepaid credit cards anyway.
Im thinking I need to go over to the s3 guys and kick and scream till I get my wallet candy.

If its not rocket science how come you do not know how to do it? If its simple you would think there is no need to ask the question. Look people who have been on this form much longer than you have been trying to help you understand its more than a build.prop edit to get this to work. The support is simply not there yet. Google Wallet has also changed a lot since the ICS days. When Android 4.4 comes out for the phone from Motorola then GW will work.
I am using my Moto X daily now so I am not sure about this next statement but CyanogenMod 11 might work for you on your Droid Razr HD if you have yours unlocked. If not wait on Moto to release the 4.4 update and give GW a try then.

There will be no Tap&Pay until someone gets the NXP Controller set up for HCE.
This will require some decompiling of files that are not easy to decompile. Of course, nobody that does this is going to get paid, so, we can't exactly hire a software reverse engineer. I am going to try to get in touch with Dan Rosenberg and see what he can cook up for us. He's the most known software engineer here and responsible for our unlocked bootloaders.
If you want Tap and Pay, the best thing to do is push that Googe+ link that I posted last night (a few posts up) to any social medium you can think of and maybe it'll grab the right person's attention.
ISIS and Google Wallet have nothing to do with each other. Android 4.4+ and HCE made it independent.
What we are looking at:
Decompile NFC.apk, NFCui.apk
Decompile the CPP files in that.
Find out what is missing from AOSP
Add it to CM or make a flashable zip.
If you have any friends, family or anyone that can help out. This is the time. Because it doesn't seem like it's going to get merged into AOSP.

Like I said in my previous post, I haven't tested TNP. However, the OP is talking about getting the app installed and was just stating that it was possible to install on 4.4. As for TNP, I don't really need it because I've seen very few places near me that even have POS capability for TNP.
If you want this, please go to my Google+ link and find the jira link in there and vote it up. Nothing is going to get done if we don't bring attention to it.

Can't. Otherwise it would have been done with the HTC one, moto x, nexus 7 and a couple others that have support with stock
