[Q] Google Wallet - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

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.
Device is rooted, load a back door wallet apk, installed fine, grayed message "Not supported"
Using stock ROM, is that the problem??
VZ GS3 SCH-i535
Thanks

It says not supported but still works fine.

I'd imagine you'd have to do the sprint build prop edit as the nexus is no longer supported. I haven't set it up since jumping on incubus jellywiz.

I believe people changed their build.prop to have the phone appear as "jewel" or the HTC EVO 4G LTE

I have my original build.prop and everything has been working time for me since it came out and I installed it

Working fine here. I got the build. Prop changed to the Sprint S3 version...

Just tried installing from the market after changing my build prop. It's giving me the insufficient secure element privelges error. How did you get it to work?

You broke your secure element. You can't use it anymore from what I've read until someone finds a way to fix this

Like hell I have. I've had this issue before and it's just because of Google Wallet being an ass. I've had it working on here for weeks but I recently switched ROMs and haven't put it back on. I reset it the correct way every time. Don't go spouting FUD.

I was hoping the guy I quoted would chime in, or the other folks who had successfully changed their build prop to sprint and just installed from the market.
And I wasn't flaming. I simply stated that I have gotten this before and I know it's not that and you shouldn't throw blame around, saying that I broke my secure element.

These forums are just getting ridiculous the way people act. If you would have gave a little more detail about the problem then this wouldn't have happened. And you didn't have to come off like that to my response. The whole point of the forums are for people to help out and learn from each other otherwise if everyone was so smart there wouldn't be a need for them. Next time I suggest you just realize how your responding to someone before you just go off posting.

Pardon? Did you even read my post? It was pretty specific. I said what I did, where I downloaded, and what issue was coming up. My question was even directed at someone. Before you go pointing fingers, you should make sure you know what you're talking about, tough guy.

I had told u earlier that I changed my build. Prop to the Sprint version and working fine for me. I I actually reverted back to the verizon build prop more than once and back to the Sprint one and never any any issues.

I've borked my secure element...restored a backup of when GWallet and NFC worked and off I went. Flashed multiple roms after with no issue. Have you tried that already?

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.

I saw that in the Eris dump when i was playing with it. The way i figure, if it's some call home tattletale app built into test software, it calls back to verizon and I have unlimited data - at that point I chuckled and stopped caring.

it comes from the Eris dump. If it's some tracking software put in there to keep people from sharing it, it will call back to Verizon. It wont cost me anything, since data is free.
then i realized i was getting freaked out over phone software, so I just laughed at myself and installed anyway.
It very well could be something that whoever leaked it out put in. I don't have anything I care about on my phone. I'm not suggesting it's safe, just that I thought I was silly.

hmmm. under further inspection i believe it takes screenshots as it contains the same exact instructions as shootme in the apk. very strange. kinda scary. i remember someone on said on the forum where the eris was leaked tht the guy who posted it will be able to see everything you do and he and the guy who started the post has only 1 post on xda to this day
but no big worrys lol it also contains png's with htc's logo.

im not sure. in the resources theres nothing to specify that. its like it takes a screenshot when you do something to trigger it and bam it sends? lol creeeepy
I've tried examining the apk myself, where are you seeing instructions that relate to ShootMe? Is it not also possible it is similar because you are looking at aspects of the APK that would be shared across most APKs in general?
Not saying this isn't something malicious, just curious what we have to suggest that it truly is.
I'm hoping its a case of "Paranoia will destroy ya", but I supposed it is possible we are all running some kind of screen-grabbing trojan. In the meantime, either follow gbhil and remove them, or hope its something legit we just don't understand.

Inspire BACK TO STOCK BUT STILL HAS.....

Just wanted to know if i just got lucky, or if this happends to everyone....I actually am pleased because i missed the applanet feature. I was going to push a program when i noticed i still had it.....
If it is not a fluke, then please spread the word around that if anyone wants to go back to true stock (unrooted), you can still keep the UNKNOWN SOURCES.
You couldn't pay me enough to go back to, and stay stock.
And applanet is warez.

you didnt happen to go back to the stock rom that now includes side loading through a new update did you?
If you went back to stock but kept your data partition intact, then the setting will stick. Did you wipe data?
yes i did a full data and cache wipe.
Guys don't get me wrong, i would LOVE to stay rooted..............for many reasons....but i just have had the worse luck in the world with my GPS not working on any platform i have tired (i.e. CM7, TPC, and anotherone i forgot the name)....
I don't blame you for never wanting to go stock.....it sucks....but hey, at least my GPS works and now i can at least use applanet
BTW, the best one i liked actually was GINGERBREAD BEAST!!!!!!
Unfortunately the GPS wasn't working as it should.

GPS works on GingerBeast just fine. It's weird tho... If you open navigation...it will continue to say "waiting for location" ...Disregard this...go ahead and load the address..Connects within seconds.
My problem has to do with the GPS going on and off, on and off.....
GPS Status would show like 7 sattelites but still wouldn't "LOCK"...which is totally weird....
With my STOCK ROM, it connects within 4 seconds....
I have my "GOLDEN PARACHUTE" in being able to go back to STOCK so if anyone has any other ROM they want me to try which will be either "CLOSE" to stock or will work find with the GPS, then let me know and i will re-root again.
Actually AT&T updated the inspire today to allow for side loading.

You do realize by using applanet you are stealing money from the devs that put hard work and effort into making apps. I just want to make sure that you know pirating apps is not a good thing.
I learned from that i Used to use applanet but one day a nice little bill of $1000 came and i asked and called 100 times and it ended up some thing with applanet charging my carrier and anyway the stupid **** is always down

The sideloading setting got backed up to your Google account from when you had your rooted ROM. When you went back to stock and signed back into Google, all your settings got restored.. including sideloading

I'd sure like to know how they pulled this off. It is a bit disturbing to think they could make a change of this type in the system without us knowing that it even happened.
Just shows you what kind of pull Amazon has. They likely turned it on so that you can use the Amazon App store.
Interesting thing is that I have a device going back for exchange and 1 of the questions they asked me is "Have you downloaded any software/apps to your phone?" I said "Sure, what is the point of having a smart phone without apps" They then asked "Where did you download the apps from?" and I responded "The Android Market powered by Google of course. Why is there anywhere else to get apps I thought that was the only place." He then said, "It is, I was just checking" Of course that was a week ago, so things seem to have changed.

T-mobile might be pushing gb on g2x

Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.
Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.
I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks
Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.
You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.
Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.

Google Wallet on Verizon S3

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

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.

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'd love Google Wallet, but I think dev efforts are really focused on the bootloader right now.

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.

On a stock, rooted/modified or a cyanogenmod rom?
How did you get it to work. one of the only reason's why I miss my galaxy nexus
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
Do I have to be on a rom or can I be stock rooted??
I am on stock rooted on Verizon. Followed the method in that thread a few days ago and google wallet activated and gave me my 10 bucks no problem. Plus, I used $9 bucks under my account on my gnex and still got a new $10.

You can be stock. I'm stock. I got everything up and the free $10 but I was trying it at a 7 eleven and I just saw a website that shows what stores accepts it. Now to use it somewhere that accepts it and ill be a happy camper.

Yeah - I love the samsungs but for some reason they don't work as well as other phones on the Verizon network. If I only used a few hundred minutes per month, I might not notice however I spend about 2-3 thousand minutes per month on the phone so I'm VERY aware of when a phone has a radio issue.
im shocked i haven't seen anything posted about this update anywhere but this thread.

I believe he was being sarcastic because EVERY time something hits the news about our device twenty different people come here and start twenty different threads about the topic. So far this is the only one...so far.
Is this out yet or just coming... I run synergy and can't take ota updates.. Anyone have this pulled out yet

With every OTA the question is the same - could this possibly lock the bootloader again? This looks like it's just an updated gmail and play store apk, wonder why its 62MB in size.
is allshare cast enabled now under more settings?

It just says 'email' not 'Gmail'. We wouldn't get an update to Gmail from Verizon, we'd get it from the play store. Or the leaked one that's kicking around the forums.

Maybe it will fix the horrible no sim error

The no SIM problem I wouldn't think would be a software issue considering it doesn't affect all the phones. There are many many people who do not have this issue. I'm actually pretty sure I read something a while ago that said the SIM cards they are making are crappy quality, therefor that could be the culprit. I dunno tho for sure.
I don't know about that. That is something I have been thinking about lately..... I have been having a problem with my phones service, I live in a strong 3g and 4g area, and after I rooted both of my GS3's they started dropping service left and right where before they hadn't. The more I have read about the no sim issue the more it sounds just like my service dropping problem just without the no sim message appearing for me. So I wonder if more of the phone have it than we think and we think the terrible service is because of the radios when in all actuality its the no sim error and it just doesn't pop up the no sim message..... yes I know Samsung radios are crap on Verizon but I have plenty more Samsung phones that have never had any service issue whatsoever, whereas this phone you have to hold you head a certain way with both your arms stretched out and your tongue touching your nose just to send a message.

You need a new sim card. Many people have had this problem. I'm not sure if the OTA has come out yet?
Running stock and it's not available for me yet

I'm running the HD, so this new HE must be like one build newer I would guess.
I wonder if people running HD will receive the OTA to HE, or just those running F2, G1 and G7.
