I tried using the Nexus 5's tap and pay functionality but apparently Wallet will not work offline. When i am on wifi it says that tap and pay is enabled however once i go offline, i get a message on the app that says "No internet Connectivity" and when I hit the tap and pay settings it says internet connection required. any fixes for this? I do not have data on my phone.
Google Wallet needs and active internet connection to connect to the Wallet services and get your card info from the servers.
AFAIK, GW will not work offline.

It used to work offline, I don't know why Google would update it to make it online only service. that's a shame

How would it ever work off line? It needs to charge a card that'd stored on line?

Before, it would charge the card in the secure element and when I got home, it would download the receipt of the purchase once my wifi was connected.

I can see why Google wouldn't like that. I'm sure someone could find away to hack it.
Google moved the card element from your phone to the cloud, so you'll need a connection, but you can still use it offline if you want to risk the reduced security:

Basically, set your wallet timeout to "never", login when you have internet, then you can use it even without internet. Pretty scary if someone got a hold of your phone though, since wallet is already logged in.

Hey everyone, I know you cannot use the the G1's hotspot access on any device other then the G1. I spend alot of time in Starbucks. Is there a way to use the G1's hotspot access for Internet on my laptop. Tethering via wi-fi is nice as is but with only edge here in Hawaii, its too slow. I was hoping someone could help me figure this out. Hopefully just a socks proxy, method will be developed for web surfing.
username should be your mobile number without dashes so 9545555555 and pw should be last 4 of social security number as listed on tmobile account, if not call and theyll fix account, mine was inactive at first

hey! thats my phone number!!!!
You can use the port forwarding app in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443025. Get you G1 signed on to the hotspot and use the program to tether your laptop.
I wasn't aware that I could use t-mobile hotspots from my laptop by logging in with my phone number. I'll have to try that out next time I'm in Starbucks. Thanks for the tip!
So if the above works for you, you're probably set, but if you have rooted your phone you can also use the tetherblu app here:
http://androidactivity.com/
This would allow you to use the free t-mob wifi hotspot access on your phone and connect to it with your laptop. It's a MUCH faster connection than the SOCKS proxy method, and you don't have to carry around a USB cable.

I was told that doesn't apply to the G1 data Hotspot account. Can anyone else confirm that? I'd love to have it working again.
Of course, I know I can use my G1 and tether the Hotspot to the laptop.

That's what I was told. Pisses me off because I was told that the G1 data plan included "HotSpots" without being told that it was on the phone only.
You can get 2 hours free at Starbucks, FYI, if you buy something on a Starbucks Card (gift card, not the credit card).
I was told that even my laptop would work... but soon found out otherwise.

Honestly the idea of paying for WiFi has run its course. All of the (non-Starbucks) coffee shops around here offer free WiFi.
One thing you might find interesting is that pretty much every sports bar (e.g. Buffalo Wild Wings) has free WiFi. Why? Two words: fantasy baseball.
Even our airport (Denver) has free WiFi now, although you have to sit through an ad to access it.
Any news on this. I thought I had seen somewhere an app that did this, but I can't find it anymore. Why doesn't someone make a "TetherPatch" application. Screen splits into two halves. On one side how your computer is connecting to g1 on the other how your g1 is connecting to internet. And the app makes the "patch" to get the data flowing. If you make the app, gimme some love.

There are tethering apps out there already.
Could you tell me which apps allow me to connect this way?
laptop >> USB >> G1 >> WiFi (Tmo HotSpot)
I found the one that let's you connect to the net over the 3G network. I am looking for a way to use this concept at a hotspot. Thanks. All my searches don't seem to get me that info.
It's a no go with the G1 data plan. You can connect to the hotspot via the G1 but not from your laptop. Kinda stupid in my eyes seeming I could do it with when I had my Dash...but oh well...on to other methods.

By the way this was verified by T-Mo and I even tried fighting about it...damn...damn...damn
So under settings I spot that I can enable NFC although when I try to install Google Wallet, it installs and upon opening I get told the app isn't approved for my country/carrier. I'm curious if there's any way to get Google Wallet to work (mind you, I have it installed but can't open. All solutions I've seen have been to get it installed). If Google Wallet doesn't work then what good is the NFC in the phone? What other uses can I find for it?
You can buy tags online, program them, and stick them all over the place. You can use an app like NFC Task Launcher to program them and assign tasks to different tags. For example, if you put one on your desk at top you can tap your phone to it and it will enable wifi, bluetooth, and turn your ringer on. If you put one in your car you can have it set the phone to silent, turn off wifi, etc etc

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Kinda boring I can't use the Google Wallet though! Oh well. Now to try figuring why AT&T won't let me install a visual voicemail app.
Also (although I haven't tested,) Android Beam should work. I don't know too much about it, but you should be able to tap your phone to someone else's NFC-enabled Android phone and send them files.
I have no idea if this actually works though.
only Sprint has access to Google Wallet right now. AT&T, TMo and VZW are launching ISIS which is a competing service with a lot more options than one bank and one carrier...

Yep, Android Beam works as well. Me and my friend with his Verizon Gnex did it and it worked beautifully.
Hey guys, which app is best for a find my phone sort of app. I just received a Nexus 5 although I will not be getting a plan for it just yet. I will mainly just be using this as a normal wifi device. I want a "find my phone" sort of app that just in case I lose my phone, I will be able to track where it is from my computer. Can somebody recommend me the best app for this feature.
Kinda the same thing:

Yeah but it does not give a solid answer
So the 8 people that said Cerberus isn't solid enough for you? Or are you not looking for anti theft as well? Google already has a locating service built in.

I just want a solid app that I can find my phone with that does not require cellular data or talk and text. It would just require the GPS feature. I am not looking for anti-theft. Plus Cerebus doesn't look like it would be a stable app.
I disagree about the Cerberus.
Try the built-in feature:

The thing about these apps is that they all need some kind of data connection to work. The phone can use only GPS to find out where it is but without a data connection it can't get that information out to you.

So how does this Google Device Manager work then? I thought this shows you on a map of where the exact location is.

It does. When you log into Google Device Manager from a computer or other device it sends a request (through its data connection) to the phone for its location. The phone then finds it own location through cell networks/Wifi networks/GPS and sends that data back through its data connection to Google Device Manager.
This is why it needs a data connection, be it cell data or Wifi, to function. The phone can find its location without out one but has to be connected to send that information out for you to see it.

Use the built in Google Device Manager or AndroidLost https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlost www.androidlost.com
Lookout is good too

What makes you think Cerberus wouldnt be stable I have used it for ages now on every phone i have had, works great..you can do so much more than just track your phone! Remote video, pictures, sound loads of stuff.
Any chance to bypass the location for the admin of the account? The app creates a second option menu that cant be accessed for the user, only by admin.
Even with no GPS signal, im afraid Googles locates you with A-GPS technology. But what if i root the phone and firewall all data traffic?
Thanks

Well, it should be good for me if i could switch off mobile data. By doing this no app (installed by myself or by the admin) is gonna send any data.
Then when i want to be "on location" i could switch on data, sync mail and that stuff.
BTW i dont know if google can access to the phone when its switched off, or when the mobile data is switched off by the user What do you think?

Hi,
Trying to set up Google Pay on my Samsung Watch 4 (model WH7R) and right after I select the account, I get this error message:
Check your network connection.
Please make sure that you're connected, and try again.
When I hit the Try again I immediately got the same error message.
If I hit Cancel then it will say Now Finish Setup On Your Phone but there is no app pop up on the phone.
Is there anything I should do to fix this? I have tried to reset my watch a few times. I have already set up Google Pay on my phone (Fold 3) and I am connected via both home Wifi and phone bluetooth.
Also WearOS app on my phone couldn't detect the watch (it is connected via the Galaxy Wear app), is that normal?
I have the very same "check your network connection" problem when selecting account on my Samsung Watch 4. Google Pay works fine on my galaxy s20 ultra mobile phone.
I have no idea what is causing this.

I have tried it for a few more days but ended up getting frustrated and returned the watch on Wednesday, it is a great watch otherwise (battery life is quite amazing) but I definitely need Google Pay to work on it since that's one of the primary reasons for me to own the watch.
GL resolve yours, for me I think I'll just wait to see if Google would eventually make a Pixel watch of some sort

I actually resolved it, thanks to this thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatch/comments/pbsb08
The problem was really ridiculous:
I was using a Gsuite account, but Gsuite accounts do not work with the watch, only with the mobile phone!!!
Using a personal account (ie @gmail.com) fixed the problem.

Wow thanks a lot, I wish we could go back in time and I might have kept the watch Thanks a lot for sharing the tip though, that's really good to know.
I didn't use the gmail one as I have been using my own domain for many yso I'll try to see if can turn off mobile device management in my GSuite domain instead.
