Hi all,
I have Google Wallet Tap & Pay set up and selected under the settings, despite this nothing really happens when I try to make payments using this. I am on Android 4.4.4 (CM11 Nightly, and Carbon before this), NFC was on and I've tried this at several locations by now.
Before when Tap & Pay didn't work on Verizon I never even got the option to set it up, and but I was under the impression that it did work now. How do I get it to work?
Thanks !!

The issue is that Google does not support custom roms, with KitKat they stopped doing so. I have the same issue you have I am running ATT S3 and the version of wallet my phone is allowed to download is wallet V2.0-r163-v1--release. After talking to Wallet support they said my phone was suppose to have Wallet v.2.0-r172-v6. My guess is that even though my current version allows you to set up tap and pay, it at the same time does not turn on the NFC feature for wallet to recognize the credit card terminal. The NFC is suppose to be used as the triggering device to tell the HCE to listen for transaction information. HCE is software based so it has no hardware to tell it when to process, so it needs NFC to tell it to do so.
Please can someone share wallet v2.0-R172-v6 I would like to try loading it directly to see if that may work.
I have the same version (v18 rather than v1 though)
This is an interesting bit of information, I wonder if the same version works for vzw.

Thanks for the heads up I too have received the update listed above yesterday but have not tried it yet. I will post results later today. I have had broken hope so many times now I think I would **** in my pants if it did work.
Also just a note the update has brought back gift cards in which they removed for a while. The UI is also more streamlined.
Please if this update works for anyone please post.
Thanks..

I just confirmed that new release Google Wallet Update v2.0-R172-v18-RELEASE does not work at check out. Terminal is not recognized. This is clearly a CM 11 issue. I am running AT&T S3 there is a factory update for my phone that is compatible with google wallet. my guess is that CM is slacking on the S3 as they combined multiple phone to one release and stable version as of yet coming upon a year now, snapshots and nightlies only.
CyanogenMod please fix Google Wallet HCE support for S3 ATT! NFC is not detecting HCE transaction.
Hi, this problem isn't related to Android or Google Wallet version. There is carrier and device restrictions:
http://www.androidcentral.com/google-wallet-tap-and-pay-can-work-any-android-44-device-still-requires-us-sim
Anyone get Android Pay and Custom ROM working on their rooted and customized Nexus 5 ?
Here are the steps I took in order to add cards and get Android Pay functioning on my phone:
- Get the Google Pay APK from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-pay/android-pay-1-0-102576552-android-apk-download/
- You'll also need an upgrade for Google Play Services, I was not able to get it through Apple Pay, I had to get it from here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-8-1-14-2244331-238-android-apk-download/
NOTE: have to install Google Play Services that ends in 238 for the N5
Then do the following steps:
- Install Android Pay
- Install Google Play Services
- Clear Data for Android Pay
- Go into SuperSU and unroot
- setup Android Pay
- re-root using SuperSU
So this allowed me to add/manage cards in Android Pay - but some users are getting an error such as:
"MASTERCARD-XXXX can't be used with Android Pay right now " when trying to pay with their phone.
The other item I noted is that after verifying my credit card with the issuing bank - it took several hours (>8) before I received official confirmation that the card was made available for mobile payment.
I'm guessing that it may take a while before the cards are 'activated for mobile payment?
Anyone able to use Android Pay to make a payment on their N5 (rooted, Custom ROM) ?
Note: I'm running on Cataclysm and HellsCore Kernel.
I just received email confirmation from my bank that my card had been added. I did receive verbal confirmation the day I added it, but maybe it takes a few days. The problem now is that I had removed my card and re-added it this morning, before that initial email confirmation came through. Now I don't know if I need to wait for another email confirmation before trying again.
The process worked for me, but I haven't yet tried to make a payment. One note on the steps (although this is probably understood by most who would be going through the process): For re-rooting SuperSU, you may want to clarify this is done by re-installing SuperSU in recovery.

I'm getting that those links are broken/don't work.......
EDIT: I've had the 'Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped' constantly with any iteration of the Google Play Services update I've downloaded. I just dl'd the 'universal' version 240 from the XDA Developers posting , everything else has worked fine but I'm still getting the service stop error. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get this message to stop? When I go to Manage Apps, there's no option to clear data/uninstall updates, only clear cache and disable (and I don't want to disable it, for sure.)

Nexus 5 requires either Play services -230 or -238, not -240

I fixed the links - but if they fail again - just goto http://www.apkmirror.com/ and find the latest android pay and latest google play services (ending in 238) apks - and use those.
Pure Nexus Project, tried the steps in OP as well as trying exposed modules to hide root. I also tried using bootunlocker to lock the BL and change the tamper flag to stock. Still no luck.

Yeah, Nexus 5. I'll have to try 230, nothing else has worked so far. 240 was supposed to be a 'universal' GPServices.....I see a commenter above posted something about a new Xposed module, maybe have to give that a shot, too.
EDIT: Looks like v.238 was the trick, no Google Play Services errors so far. Now I just have to test out Android Pay somewhere.
Does anyone know if you have to somehow choose between Android Pay and Google Wallet when using NFC payment at a terminal?

Glad you got it set. FYI, for Nexus 5 the -230 Play services is universal DPI.
I'm pretty sure at the pos terminal you'll only be able to use Android Pay. It has completely assumed all duties of the old Wallet. If you have a Google Wallet physical card you can add it as an option for Pay, but otherwise Wallet is now just for p2p transactions (like PayPal).

I just noticed that the old Google Wallet app was auto-removed at some point from my phone (I had both for a while), now I've just got Android Pay and Google Wallet, so that makes complete sense.
FWIW, when I tried adding my Google Wallet card to Android Pay, I initially got the 'you can't use this on your phone'/root error; just unrooted through SU, added the card, re-rooted, no message. I just have to test it out on a POS terminal somewhere and see how it flies.

What ROM are you using?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Not working at POS
Finally had an opportunity to use Android Pay at a Whole Foods POS.
Touched my phone to the card reader - and Android Pay popped up - with my default credit card.
Then - I got the dreaded: "Visa-xxxx can't work with Android Pay right now" message.
Seems this is a common issue - so it looks like we'll have to wait a bit for this to work.
I'll continue to try it at places that accept Android Pay - and will update accordingly.
NOTE: one thing was apparent... for me the experience of using my phone to pay - is no better an experience (probably more clunky) - than merely swiping my credit card - which I can probably get out of my pocket and swipe, faster than getting out my phone, unlocking it and positioning it on the reader.
Perhaps the security promises with Android Pay will trump a mag stripe card... but from a user experience standpoint... not that great.

Are you rooted, hence the 'didn't work' problem, or it's just plain not working right now?
Yeah, I've putzed around with the original Google Wallet/NFC payment a few times and I found the same thing was true: it's about as much hassle, maybe even more, as using a regular credit or debit card. At least with the cards you know they're going to work, barring some major snafu; with Google Wallet/Android Pay, maybe the place you're at doesn't accept it as payment, maybe the card vendor isn't on-board with Android Pay yet, maybe your phone's rooted and it doesn't work to begin with, etc. I like the idea of having multiple cards available to use with Google Pay, so I can choose which one I want to use at any given time, but I think there's also a lot of barriers to making phone-based payment the default method of payment for people.
EDIT: Well, initial swing and a miss; I had my Google Wallet card set as the default card to use with Android Pay, and got a message saying that the Google Wallet card wasn't able to be used with Android Pay at this time. I was at McDonald's for lunch and if there wasn't a big line behind me I'd have taken time to switch cards and try again, but as it was I froze up and just went with a physical card. I didn't get a 'you're using a rooted phone, you hAxx0rZ!!!! Stop trying to overthrow capitalism and steal Bitcoins, anarchist!!!' error message, at least, so that's a good thing.
Doing more research on this - there seems to be strong evidence that Android Pay won't work on a rooted/custom rom phone.
Lots of speculation as to whether it is related to an unlocked bootloader, root, custom rom, or some combination...
Has anyone tried this on vanilla N5 ?
I'm using stock and I have play services 238 the latest one and Android pay still says "Google play services have stopped" what do I do?
Here's a thought: maybe it's a server-side activation, and that's why it doesn't work for rooted users who temporarily disable superuser when attempting to add a card?
That's the only thing I can think to explain why some users are able to unroot and flip the switch, while others can't

*** IMPORTANT ***
Beta is over; final product is available in the galaxy store.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);
Code:
[B]Email Subject:[/B] AlexaGear Beta Test
[B]Email body:[/B]

[U]Issue 1[/U]: what did you do ? what happened ?
[U]Issue 2[/U]: what did you do ? what happened ?

UPDATE : Login problem is solved ; now we don't need Amazon Shopping to login.
Looks good on the video, I assume you're using the Alexa API directly (hence the Amazon Shopping log in)? And it looks like you're sending recorded audio to the phone, not STT?
I'd offer to join your beta, but I don't use Alexa anymore
Edit: Just letting you know your Play badge isn't linked to your store listing...

You are correct. application is using Alexa API directly. Amazon Shopping shouldn't be required for the final release. App should be able to login using Alexa authorization. We are going to fix it before release, hopefully.
Thanks for informing me about the badge issue. It was originally linked to the Play Store listing but the image tag overwrites it. I changed to plain text instead of badge now...
Hi there, I've been after something genious like this for Google Assistant or Alexa but just sold my Echo Dot!
With your app are we able to ask Alexa questions and receive answers on the watch or does it simply route the question to the Echo Device?
Great work either way..

You don't need an Echo device.
Initial release will supply you answers on your phone.
In a later release we'll move the responses to the watch.

But I am not sure if non-Samsung devices can attend beta. Samsung might have a limitation there. You can try.
mm i'm thinking to ask for beta test. i'm italian and i have amazon echo (i'm part of preview project to improve italian before official release in our country)
should i have time, i'll email you
UPDATE : Login problem is solved ; now we don't need Amazon Shopping to login.
OK, great I've installed both and tested a small amount, this will be amazing if you can get answers on the Galaxy Watch. Couple of things if I may.
1 - When asking for location based queries it can't answer, says I need to add to Alexa App (Not installed)
2- Says Spotify and Google maps not supported on this device when asking for them.
3 - App closes intermittently on Galaxy Watch when screen closes (15 seconds on mine)
I'll give it a good go later when children are asleep and report back.. So far though seems very good
Is possible to have this app in spanish?
final version in action....

- response will be sent to watch in 2 weeks. I know what I have to do, but it is planned for second phase. Priority is to make a release with no major problems.
- for location, timezone and metric units settings you have to use Alexa app or https://alexa.amazon.com settings page.
- Spotify and Google maps are not supported on Android applications by Amazon. I am sorry but this is not possible.
- What happens when app closes ? Do you see any errors ? What happens if you reopen it ? Does it work normally ?
Thanks.

On Google Play you should see the app (the direct link is in first post)
On Samsung apps Store (for watch part) , you can not see anything because it is in beta, not released. (see the first post if you'd like to attend beta)
This sounds interesting, so I think I'll sign up for the beta. I just purchased recently my S3 and it is still in the mail.
I installed the latest version of MX Player PRO on my S6 edge(official 7.0, Gmail and Samsung Email installed), S7 edge(official 8.0, Gmail and Samsung Email installed), S9+(official 8.0, only Gmail installed).
But on S7 edge and S9+, purchase can't be found while on S6 edge can be found.
Any solution?

If you have purchased through Google Play, Gmail has nothing to do with. It will just validate the purchase through Google Play itself. So, make sure that you are using the same account on your new device and Google Play Store and Google Play Services can reach the Google Play servers. If the problem persists, kindly remove your account from Google Play and add it back again after restarting the device. It may fix the issues.

Thank you for reply.
But actually, I purchased MX Player Pro through the official website... And I'm sure that I'm using the same account on my devices...
More specifically, the purchase can be found before I update MX Player Pro to the latest version on my S9+ and S7 edge.
Best Regards

So, make sure that you are using the same account on your new device and Google Play Store and Google Play Services can reach the Google Play servers. If the problem persists, kindly remove your account from Google Play and add it back again after restarting the device. It may fix the issues.

And I noticed that the latest version on Google Play is 1.10.22, is it possible for you to upload this version to the official website?
Latest version in Google Play for me shows 1.10.17.

Thank you for reply.
But actually, I purchased MX Player Pro through the official website... And I'm sure that I'm using the same account on my devices...
More specifically, the purchase can be found before I update MX Player Pro to the latest version on my S9+ and S7 edge.
Best Regards

You might have downloaded the Google Play build. Due to Google Play restrictions, Google Play builds doesn't come up with the component to validate the licenses from our licensing servers. It can only validate that apps that are purchased from Google Play.

As 1.10.22 wasn't release build, we haven't updated the same in our websites. If you are looking for a beta build that can validate purchases from our websites, Kindly download the latest beta build 1.10.23 from http://mx.j2inter.com/translation/test-build.

Have you enabled the Background Play option? By default, background play is enabled only for audio files.
If the app is getting killed while on background play, kindly try the latest beta build from our website. We have improved our background play to work better with the background process restrictions on the newer android versions.

Thank you for reply:fingers-crossed:
I downloaded ver 1.10.24 from official website ( I'm sure that I have not downloaded the google play version ) and the “can not be activated” problem still exists on my S7 edge and S9+. But on my S6 edge, it works well.
So I guess maybe something wrong with Samsung devices running Oreo?

We regret the inconveniences caused. Based on our investigation, it has been found that Android 8 and newer versions no longer allow the apps to read the list of accounts available on the device as it used to be on the older versions. So, it will fail to activate the license purchased through our website.
We are working towards releasing a quick workaround to address the issues caused by the android restrictions. Hopefully, it will be available in the next few days. Meanwhile, you can clear the MX Player data and disable the contact permission of the MX Player. It will allow you to run the app for a few days even in the "License not verified" state.

Thank you for these instructions
Is it possible that I purchase MX Player on Google Play now then you refund the money I paid on the official website through PayPal?
I purchased MX Player Pro from your website but not from google play several years ago just because I can't use google play in my country that time while I can use google play now.:fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately, Paypal doesn't provide us with refund option for the transactions older than 6 months. As you have purchased several years back, it may not be possible to refund now.

Alright, while I'm still going to purchase on Google Play.
MX Player Pro worths the price.
In app "check for updates" is convenient, but I'm afraid that Google will add some new restrictions to Android in the future.
Thank you for reply
And sorry for my poor English, Idk if there are some grammatical errors... Though I'm learning English recently...

We are sorry to bring you this inconvenience. We will investigate this further and get it sorted at the earliest. Meanwhile, your patience is highly appreciated.
Hello there.
I have been using MX player pro for some time, purchased via Google play on my Nokia 6.
After latest update to Android pie i can't use it anymore.
I tried to uninstall it and install it again but it doesn't show up as my other purchased apps, but asks me to buy it again?
Could you help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance
Hello All!
My Samsung phone was not receiving RCS on the google messages app, despite google confirming rollout in most of the world. I suspect that my cell provider Lucky Mobile might have something to do with it, as it is one of the few carriers in Canada that does not provide RCS services. In an effort to activate it on my phone, I found a trick that I believe has not been posted yet. I tested this out on an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S10 running android 10 One UI 2.5, an unrooted Samsung Galaxy A50 running Android 10 One UI 2, and an Unrooted Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite running Android 11 One UI 3. These are all Samsung devices, so it may not work on other phones, but I have no way of testing that. The steps I took are below
On the Google Play Store, install Carrier Services from Google
Still on the Play Store, Install Google Messages
Open Google Messages and set it as the default messaging app
In the Messages app, open settings and check to see if chat features are available, they were not for me, but it is a good idea to check
Keep the Messages app open in the background but switch back to the Play Store and uninstall Carrier Services
Re-open the Messages App, then exit and close it from the Recents menu, and then open it again
You should now get a pop-up saying that you can use chat features, if not, then it should be available in the chat features section in settings
That’s it! I’m not sure how useful this will be to others, considering that my issue is something most people wont have, but I thought that someone might be looking for a way of activating RCS on their phone, with similar results that I had until now. I would also appreciate if people with phones from different companies (e.g. Google, Xiaomi, OnePlus) could try it out to see if it only works with Samsung phones or other companies’ phones as well.
Edit: You can join the Messages Beta program if you want after the steps are complete, as it keeps RCS enabled. Not sure why but I am not complaining
(P.S. This is my first post on XDA so I'm not sure if this is best format to post this, or the right place to post this in)
No luck for pixel 4 xl on Android 12
