Hi. So a few weeks ago I rooted my Nexus 5. I had Google Wallet up and working fine before. However, I forgot to go in and disable everything before rooting. The problem is that when I tap and pay it always says "payment declined" and just doesn't work. I was reading that this might have broken the secure element or something. I've called and been in touch with Google to see if they could help me out buy that's not really going anywhere. Does anyone have any method of completely clearing out the Google Wallet cache or something? I can't even uninstall the app as it's built into the phone or ROM. Any help is much appreciated.
Go into settings, apps and clear it's cache, may have to clear data too

If I remember correctly you need to make sure that you authorize the phone to make payments even though you have broken Google's security. This is if I remember correctly it might be under Google settings. This thread may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696909.

Hi all,
First time post, been enjoying all the advice on how to root and all that jazz.
As the title says it; I'm having problems downloading any theme from the app store. Any theme I choose and hit "Download" on it just brings up a window for 1/2 a second that I believe says "Downloading" but never actually does anything. Another weird thing, the other 2 themes that are kind of defaulted for options that you can download both work. I'm not sure if this is a silly question, however I can't seem to figure it out as no one else seems to have this issue.
Random pieces of information:
1. Yes, my phone is rooted, however this issue was still around before I did so.
2. I have the AT&T variant Galaxy S6.
3. I've checked to see if there's any apparent apps I disabled that may cause it but the only app that seems like it may be related is "Theme Store", and that of course isn't disabled.
Thank you!
Did you disable the Samsung Account? It doesn't work without the Samsung Account apk.

Double checked, it is not disabled.
Thanks for the idea though!
Create a new Samsung account.
I had this exact same problem and was able to fix by creating a new account. My old account was one I had created when the galaxy nexus was released.

This may be a dumb question, but maybe it will avoid me a lot of wasted time, but how do I do that? And Thanks for the help!

Well, I think I figured out how to do it.
I made another account and registered my device on that Samsung account while un-activating it on my old one. However, I can't add the account on my phone, whenever I go to accounts on the settings page and choose Samsung account it does nothing, absolutely nothing. It just goes back a menu where it shows my account without allowing to input any information.

Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I wanted to download a camera mode, but realize nothing would happen when I tried to install. I went back and enabled all of my disabled apps in Titanium Backup. But unfortunately I still cannot add a Samsung account. Same thing happens when I choose Samsung from the account types, nothing happens.
I've got a girl that I work with that is having the exact same issue. She has the 128gb Verizon model and essentially nothing happens when you try to install a theme. Same thing happens with the Samsung account as well, as soon as you go into add the account and press Samsung account, it just bumps you right back out to the accounts screen. I've tried clearing data for Samsung Account, Galaxy Apps, Theme Manager, etc. Not quite sure what the issue is.
You're not alone
I'm having the same issue after attempting to install new camera modes via galaxy apps store.
support advised me to disable Samsung account and clear the cache... now i can't add it back despite it being enabled.. its just an endless loop .. add account - chooses Samsung account - flips back t previous screen

Sorry for not posting any updates.
Well, this isn't probably what you want to hear, but I fixed it by doing a Factory Data Rest. I don't know if everyone else's issues are exactly what I was experiencing, but I noticed when I did this reset and had to link a Samsung Account upon first power up for the phone. I'll be honest, I don't remember doing this the first time I got the phone (This is my first Samsung Account so I wasn't aware you had to do this). Then, of course, I checked this issue and it was fixed. I know this isn't really figuring out how to fix the issue, but it worked for me.
Good luck guys!
same thing bro...

I wasted hours on multiple days speaking to every venue availing for support and none were even aware it was possible and all claimed a factory reset. On the flip side verizon offered offered a refurbished replacement, but unless this continues I'd opt for the reset which fixed my account and now it runs like a dream... a super fast octabrain dream
I was facing the same problem.
Reading through this thread I've figured out what was wrong.
I have an old Samsung Account and this account was blocked on Samsung due to inactivity and new T&Cs to agree.
I've accessed the Samsung site (https://account.samsung.com) and reactivated my account.
After that, I became able to download the themes from Themes Store.

I have a same problem. My phone not rooted. I have package disabler. I enabled all disabled packages, rebooted phone, deleted dalvik, but no succes. I can't create samsung account in phone settings >accounts and theme store do not work. I do not want factory reset, because after needs a lot of time to configure phone.
I installed the official Android 6.0 factory image on my nexus 5 yesterday, letting it erase my phone (because I was having the issue where my phone only showed 12.55gb of space instead of ~26gb), and I can't get now on tap to work. I live in the US, and so my phone is using the English language. Whenever I tap and hold the home button, the little popup that introduces now on tap pops up at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on the get started button, it just closes the popup, and pretends I clicked the not now button. I've even tried going to the google now settings, and manually enabling now on tap, however, the toggle switch just instantly turns back off after I tap on it. This was one of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade to 6.0. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it? I would like to avoid wiping the phone and re flashing the image if at all possible. (I can do it if all else fails, I'm just too lazy to have to reinstall all my apps, and get the phone all setup how I like it again)
Perhaps try wiping cache and dalvik cache, as well as fully uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Google now.
just tried wiping the cache and reinstalling Google now. Didn't do anything. You think it would do anything if I redownloaded the factory image from google (maybe mine has borked bits), and manually flash everything but the user data part?
If you're willing, it's definitely worth a shot.
I checked the md5 on the archive I downloaded from google, and it matched, so I just manually reflashed the cache and system images... and it did nothing. I guess I may have to see if google releases an update or something that fixes it. I'm also in the process of saving up for the nexus 6p, but that'll take a while, which is why I wanted to get it working on my nexus 5 first.
Yeah so it definitely seems like an issue on their end, we just went through all the basic troubleshooting steps.
May have just found out the issue. Google hates Google apps users. Is there a way to use my regular gmail account for google now, and then use my google apps account for everything else? (email, contacts, play store, etc.)
I'm honestly not sure. You can try adding both accounts and playing around with their settings, for example i know that you can choose the account you want to use in the play store but I'm not sure about other apps like Google now, since I've never had to do this personally.
I figured it out. You can select which account you want to use for each app on your phone. So I just told my phone not to sync anything on my gmail account, and then selected it in the google now app. I hate how Google does this. First it was google+, then inbox (which I tried out, and didn't really like), now its google now on tap. So glad I am using the no longer available free version of google apps. I would never purchase google apps business, since Google has no respect for their apps account users. I hope they will eventually fix this issue, and allow now on tap to be used by gapps users.
Glad you figured it out man.
Just in case you don't hang out in the Wear OS subreddit, Fossil's update appears to break Google Pay as it thinks the device might be rooted or otherwise modified. See here.
If you rely on Google Pay on your watch don't update yet.
I've not had the chance to test it on my Skagen Falster 3 yet but don't imagine I'll experience anything different.
Same Problem here, read it to late
*Edit*: Cleared pay and nfc cache & data, after reboot I can reassingn my card without error.
Thank you for the heads up
I followed the advice of someone and my GPay has worked fine:
- remove card
- clear app data
- remove app updates
- restart watch and re-add card
I hadn't tried to use it before doing that so don't know if it was actually the steps that or whether it would have worked anyway but just thought I'd mention it.

Hi I have my 3 bank cards set up with Google Pay and although everything set up fine & looks ok in the app I am unable to make payments using the phone.
I have tried in 3 different shops & keep getting an error, it's a big circle with an exclamation mark with text underneath saying "That didn't work"
I thought it must have been an issue with the terminal, but I have tried in other stores and have the exact same issue on all 3 cards from different banks.
I did have a message pop up a few days after the first attempt saying my phone can now be used to make payments. But I am still getting the same error.
Has anyone come across this error before?
Hard to tell if the issue lies with my bank, Google or Xiaomi hardware.
Settings > network connections> tap and pay > choose hce wallet.
Go to manage app and clear cache for Google pay, Google play service and Google services framework.
Restart phone and set up Google pay again.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give this a try
Still no luck on this.
Gonna have to try a factory reset I think.
I'm using this phone with Google Pay in the UK, had no issues myself. I didn't have to make any settings changes, etc.
(I got my unit from Xiaomi UK)
you can try this.

I am having the same problem (in Italy). I setup everything ang Google Pay tells me that everything is ok, but then when I try to pay a red exclamation mark appears. I tried to enable HCE, uninstall and reinstall Google Pay but no luck. What can I do? @jusumgeezer did you by chance debloat something or have you tried a factory reset?
Just FYI, a factory reset fixed the issue for me, I tried this morning and it worked on the first try!

Hi,
Quick update on this.
I managed to get it sorted with a factory reset.
After resetting I skipped past adding the Google account & went in to the app settings & enabled all permissions for Google pay & disabled any MIUI optimization.
I also did the same for my banking apps before logging in.
After that I was able to add my cards to Google Pay without any issues, following the normal process & now everything works fine with 3 cards added.
Hello everyone, i line in the UK and had call screening working and then one day it decided to deactivate and now it refuses to activate again. I can't figure out how to fix it or get it to activate. I'm in a supported country on a supported device. I am rooted but didn't think that would have anything to do with it but I used magisk to hide your from the phone app as well. Any tips would be grateful.
This happened to me once...
What I did was I force stopped, clear cache, & clear data.
If that didn't help, I uninstall updates. Then I updated from the Play Store. But when I did this, it was on Android 11 and stock phone app didn't initially have call screener. I imagine the Pixel 7's have it on the stock phone app, but doing this still might reset things and re-activate it.
Note: If it wasn't immediately available -- it didn't show the option of "Spam and Call Screen" -- it did take a while for it to somehow activate. Within the hour it all of a sudden popped up an alert when I opened the phone app spouting the feature. It might be that it takes activating through Google or your carrier somehow before it's enabled and displayed on the app. Then, again, this was on my Pixel 5 A11, so Call Screen isn't natively available off the bat -- so I imagine it would show up right away after uninstall updates and/or updating it from the Play Store.
If that isn't enough, you might consider clearing the cache & data from Play Services and Google Play Framework maybe....
Good luck and hope this helps...
