[Q] Google Wallet

Hi all,
What are the requirements to use google wallet on your phone? I understand its an app which is downloaded but what spec do you need on your phone to use it?
Also I am in the UK and just wondering which shops people have seen the terminals in?
I know McDonalds have it but hardly eat there.

NFC and the Secure Element are the requirements.
I use the app PayPass Locator to find who accepts it. 400 retailers use it near me.

Thanks
Whats NFC? And is there somewhere I can go to find a list of phones that have these requirements?

Only a few phones support it...the GSII, Nexus, and a couple others. The NFC antenna is located in the battery too, so it's not something you can just activate with a custom ROM.

thanks guys.
my contract is coming to an end. just wondering whether its worth going for a handset with the antenna or is it just a gimmick?

my nexus s has Google wallet but its not yet supported in the UK

^ you need to download a version that doesn't check your location. I've read several people from the UK that use it.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

well.. hell go to xt720... but ms1?!

My biggest problem is that my XT720 forum subscriptions aren't displayed on usercp any more. (They do still work in the app, though). Thread subscriptions still work, but it's freaking annoying for keeping track of new threads.
Droid/Milestone A853 were also depreciated.

did you try unsubscribe then refresh and then subscribe again?

Not to be mean but if your pulling a motoroa on us I really wonder if xda forms is for me very soon going to sprint I don't believe I would stay here.

Yes, I've tried a few permutations of unsubscribing/resubscribing, logging out/in, refresh, browse around etc. Is it just me having this problem? The XDA app still lists them fine, it's just the usercp that's giving me trouble.

Nope not just you. The quicest way I've found, from the PC, is to type xt in the find your device field in the upper right of the screen

I've added this bookmark to my browser http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=929 but now I have two pages to monitor. It's workable but quite annoying.
I made a thread about the problem in the xda-developers.com forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554558

THIS guy! (A thread about lame mods)

Alright let's face it... some of these mods up here are ridiculous. This thread is about them. About the mods seemingly have no time on their hands for anything else other than bringing down the rent-a-mod hammer on people. I know I'm not alone so I'll start with THIS guy G1ForFun who apparently had enough to time to pm and warn me that I'll be infracted for non-sense posts on NON-sense threads ( which he conveniently overlooked over.. lol )
Yea. Some of these guys are out their minds. Was this message necessary at all? I was warned for nonsense posts in nonsense threads minus the cm9 camera Bork.
GOOD JOB MOD!!! You're making a huge difference around here. Get real dude lol

What a f? Is this for real?

The future of this thread:

/thread

Reported. The OP should learn that XDA has rules and he needs to abide by them or f**k off to another site as he won't be missed.
XDA is seriously going downhill at the moment; we need more restrictions for newbies until such time as they can prove themselves to be responsible and trustworthy.

but he's not exactly a newbie and has been here longer than most of us have lol

If you got a problem with a mod, take it to admin. That is where the real power lies.

There are other ways to fix a situation with Mod, but definitely not this one.

If you are really that desperate to know then search and find out for yourself. This has nothing to do with phone development - at the least this thread should have been posted in Off-Topic, where it could have been flamed to death by people far better than me.

This thread isn't in phone development and this thread is located in general discussion/questions and answers.so I can ask any question I want because its in question and answer also its in general discussion so some people would love to discuss some stuff.

Actually a better place to put this is under about xda-developers.com
The general section actually means general discussion of phones, not just any random thing you feel like talking about.
The oldest thread is probably some post by an admin outlining the rules of xda when it first started, or a post talking about what the site is for and what he wanted it to become.

Whats the best

What are the best kernels and roms

WOW a post like this, right smack dab in the Development section, bypassing Q&A should get an automatic 3 day ban or something for not following the simplest of rules LMAO! How comical. And for not even glancing over the rules! This is hilarious! Lol

The best is when you learn to post in the right section.

Last night, a guy posted that he is undermining the forum rules and posting here to get emergency help. Didn't get flamed too bad. This guy get's flamed xD. But it's all personal choice.

Why is it that XDA has a tendency to attract idiots?

Have a nice weekend, cheers

The dev section is no place for questions. Also there is no best ROM for a individual user, so the question is subjective based on individual needs. Please take some time and read the posts in the dev section, that way you can make your own mind up which is best for your individual needs.​
