I placed an order on Nov 22nd with debit and it worked fine. I placed another one on Nov 26th with creditcard and that one went through no problems as well. What issues are you facing? Have you tried calling them? I'm from London, ON in case that helps.

Sorry. What I meant is I can't use the Google wallet app to make purchases through NFC.

Oh! That's what you meant. Man, I was looking forward to trying that out when my phone got here. But I think I read somewhere on xda that it should work here for some merchants... Have you personally tried it?

I had to sideload the Wallet app as it seems like Canadian Nexus 5s do not have the Wallet app installed. I received a message once logging in saying that Google Wallet is not supported in my country.

wallet is offered on their .ca website and if you scroll down it even has the tap and pay advertised http://www.google.ca/wallet/shop-in-stores/
but the FAQ says its only available in the states at the moment... pity http://www.google.ca/wallet/faq.html#tab=faq-general

There's nothing you can do right now. Wallet actually is installed, it's just frozen (take a look at Titanium Backup). Even if you defrost it you get the error that it doesn't work in your region. I even tried revoking location permissions for Wallet. You can apparently enter a fake US address and get further and try adding cards but your payment will always be declined when you actually go pay. Just going to have to wait for Google or someone else to step up in Canada.

Google wallet NOW available in market!

I have found and installed Google wallet on my skyrocket I727. I'm on the AT&T network and had my simcard in.
The device has been rooted, and that may be the reason that it doesn't work yet, judging by the comments in the market.
Just one more nudge and we're in
we really have to wait until ATT and Samsung say go. We have NFC disabled by default.

I turned on NFC (non stock Rom), that didn't fix the issue. I hope a dev Can help coax it out of its shell.
A word of warning though, I've read that an uninitialized wallet will drain the battery.
So freeze the app if you can, cause you never know if it will be pulled from the market.
Dev already tried this and we need Secure Element that we don't have in Rocket!! Att might give us Sim card with that Secure Element!!!!!!

The Wallet app needs a certain permission that can only be obtained if both it and the Nfc app are signed with the Google key. The Nfc app is not signed by Google on our phone, so you get this error about insufficient privileges. That's why its only for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S owners.

This too. Even if you did sign them both with the same key, which I have done, the app will never initialize. This is because there is no SecureElement in our phone. Again, only the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S have them in American phones. AT&T / Verizon / T-Mobile plan to release SIM cards with SecureElements in them once ISIS is underway.
You cant do anything with it. Currently only the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus support Google Wallet. There is no way around this.
Also, wrong section. This belongs in general.
Cool.

Why do you post an application in the android development forum? (This is a retorical question, I do not actually expect any kind of answer)
Please follow the XDA Forum Rules!!
Thread moved.
Oops
My mistake.
Back to the development in the non development topic,
Thanks for the sim card point. It turns out AT&T is all for the idea

Not to print, but to email yes. We use this for our bar service at work, and I've run transactions through others'. Works great!

[Q] 'Messaging' App

I'm looking to sideload the sms app that i've had with two previous android phones. After getting my new N5 yesterday, it seems the stock 'messaging' app has been replaced in favor of hangouts. New to hangouts, but after about a day, i can say f-that. I know other sms apps are out there, but i really just want the one I've had for years. I promise I've used the search feature, please don't fault me if this info is out there.

There you new app may show up, so, you can set it as default.
Btw, your post was not too clear but is that what you mean?

The problem is that the messaging app wasn't installed. My N5 was bought from the play store jsut this week. Maybe it is installed on the t-mobile or sprint variants? Has anyone pulled that apk and posted it anywhere? My wife just got an unlocked moto x and it has it.

this is the stock MMS.apk you see in that picture
Thanks, I see it's not totally the stock messaging app, but I will give it a try. It mentions a lack of bloat, but new useful features. Anyone know what additional features are that they've added?

As long as you don't select the option to allow Google to unlock your phone with your voice, this isn't an issue, nor is it's LG's problem.

Thanks for that. Maybe LG should hire you as calling them they said there was no fix and I don't remember ever turning that option on.... Going to have to test if someone elses voice can unlock it.

Exactly. This is a google issue.
This thread is so misleading, and so is the video. This can be done on all phones with the Google app on it. The setting has been there for a while. OP should at least make an edit to topic/post and/or switch the video into a PSA of sorts. Advice people on how the setting works and to give best practices like training their voice.

no doubt, trust zones keep my phone unlocked when at my home. keeps it unlock when it detects it is still on my person and hasn't changed hands, and many other trusted things you can set. turn these off and I bet he has a harder time unlocking
lol a joke.. without trusted voice my phone tells me it cannot be completed while device is locked..
ppl just never learn lol not a bypass at all
So if there's any confusion, it only works with what Google detects as your voice. I tested with multiple family members, and only one got it.
But he's my identical twin and our voices are almost the same.
Can someone else try having their SO or a buddy try to get in? Pretty sure they won't.

Question Samsung Pay?

So now I have my Watch 5 Pro I thought I'd set up Samsung Pay, haven't used it for over a year, maybe more, and it's gone - it's Samsung Wallet.
Pretty tortuous set-up, and it seems none (or very few) of my cards work any more, or not without Samsung + anyway, which means I seem to need Curve. I think I've got everything added but the curve option just comes up on the phone as the curve card not the other 2 I added.
I now have no idea what I'm doing or how it works, or select the card I want? And I haven't even tried to add it to the watch yet!!
Is it just my advancing years or is this all just a pain to set up. Should I try Google pay? Is it simpler and will it work from the watch?
In what region are you? In nordics, I use samsung pay normally without any issues. Can you download samsung pay in the samsung store?
Yes I would switch to Google Wallet. It's easy to set up and it works seamlessly in just about every part of the world.
