Hi when i try to click on the Google icon under settings my setting crashes with the settings has stopped messege. I've tried clicking it on safe mode, cleaned cache but i still have same problem

Is this device rooted? I can provide possible fixes if you have root and less successful ones for non-root.

That being said, the non-root procedure would be to try to force stop all Google services. Also, try clearing data on them. Check if the play store has updates for them.

Hi TechGuyAnthony yes it is rooted

Ok. That makes things a bit easier. You could try and get a gapps package like one from
http://opengapps.org
Though you can get one anywhere. I can kinda tell that your home screen is pretty new so I'd think out of the architecture options you have it might be Arm64. But I'd make sure with CPU-Z or something like that.
Once downloaded place on either internal or external storage. Reboot into recovery (custom recovery needed such as, TWRP, CWM, etc) and install the package. As far as I know this is a google apps issue but if it still doesn't work then you are gonna need to factory reset or something.

Stock comes with every google app that is usually shipped with Samsung devices. You can choose that if you want but if you really want to squeeze a little extra storage into your phone then go with Mini

Like I said above, Mini is good for getting that little extra space out of your phone without loosing google features (I.e., Play store, YouTube, etc

Ya. Either that or get a diff. Custom ROM. It appears the ROM you are using might be broken. Maybe get Cyanogenmod. Lots of cool features and all that stuff.

Finally after so many attempts i was able to figure it out what was causing my settings to crash whenever i clicked on the Google icon. The main culprit was Google settings app which i happen to click mistaking it for settings app. Went to google settings app's app info which took me to google play services. Cleared its cache and data. Now its working fine. I have also hidden that nasty app so that i dont click it by accident again. ?. Gosh i'll always remain a noob ?

[MOD] i9505g 4.2.2/4.3 Google Wallet Fix + Nfc Secure Element fix even with deodex.

What this is: This is a modification of NfcNci.apk to allow access to the secure element even on deodexed roms. Also included is a version of Wallet that doesn't care about root.
Note: These files are from the 4.3 leak for i9505g, they *Might* work for other builds, if not you can use the writeup to roll your own version.

Here is a version of the same for the 4.2.2 Google Edition build as well.
Thanks to mrvirginia for the zip.

Cool!
Been waiting for this to make its way to our beloved i9505.
One more thing, does this work in Europe? With local currency?
currently my GE zip needs Superuser to be disabled but i will update it here shortly. you won't need to update OP, will be same zip in same location
thanks again for all of your help, Fenny!
edit: zip updated. my wallet no longer cares about root either
Hi folks.
Fyi
I have already done a build for TW roms deodex or odex. Also works on screenoff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43370468
Which is in beta. I call it beta as I cant test nfc payment or google wallet as its not available in the uk.
But the bypass has been implemented.
Great work Fenny btw on the google wallet. And your explanation.

This may mean that Google wallet does not like your carrier or region. I will have to take a look at the Google Wallet apk and see if there is something we can bypass on the client side. Are there any Error logs or relevant looking Infornational logs in your logcat when you try?

Sorry I should been more clear. Tested on MrVirginia's ROM and worked perfect. I tried on Jamison's Google ROM and that's when I received the error. I'm not home at the moment to do a logcat. Carrier is T Mobile and location is Virginia.

Hmm, in that case (off the top of my head), perhaps the build.prop has been modified in some way that it's not liking, or maybe a set of lib files has been removed/replaced... Could also be a kernel HW module support thing. Any chance of a logcat?
I do seem to recall MrVirginia's ROM being fairly close to stock...

I think I figured out what was wrong in this case: a different version of nfcnci.
Try this one.

Either should work. The one here has hard coded values from The i9505G build.prop, but they are the same values as from the ROM you are using's build.prop (I just checked.)
I did a diff of the method names in the NfcNci.apk from the ROM you are using, and the one in the mod. There were indeed differences, so I've built a new version using your Chef's NfcNci as a source.
Sent from my GT-I9505G
Still the same outcome. Could you make it a zip so I can try flashing it instead. Also cleared data on NFC.apk and wallet.apk and rebooted.

I can make one later when I am not devving on my home box from my phone via SSH.
You might need to clear data for the Wallet app. The only other thing that I can think of is that maybe the kernel in that ROM is breaking secure storage access somehow.

Your build.prop is currently set to SGH-M919G (presumably default from the ROM you have installed).... change it to GT-I9505G and it will work.

Built-in Pedometer app

Does anyone know what is the name of the pedometer/ step-counter/ fitness app that comes with stock.
I remember it from when I first got the phone (i got the AL10 that was loaded with International firmware), but since then I have been flashing different roms, and have not come accross it again.
I have searched high and low, but came with no results.

Galaxy S5, rooted - Android Pay blocked. What is the latest state of play on workarounds for this?
According to this, android pay will not work on rooted phones
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pay-no-longer-working-with-systemless-root/
mine is NOT rooted app starts its when adding the card its states it does not recognize if the device is supported
Mine allows me to confirm my card details then says that the authorisation has failed as "Google does not accept cards from all us territories" ?? (Non-rooted)
ok gonna take a shot in the dark with this one, i recon that maybe you must have the banking app installed from participating banks maybe?

However, this information seems to be about 4 months old.; also, the article mentions a workaround. My question was really aimed at finding out whether there might be any more recent developments of use to UK users, as Android Pay only just launched here.

Calls getting dropped

I've had my Verizon pixel (sailfish) now for almost a month. Multiple times in the past couple of weeks, after roughly a minute of phone conversation, I lose the call. I can hear the other party but they can't hear me. At first I thot it was only my Bluetooth headset, but its happening on device only too. I thot the Nov update would fix it but no luck. Rooted running Elemental X, Weta Rom & twrp beta 2. Anyone else? Sugg? Thanks

If you can unlock your bootloader and are comfortable flashing kernels that may be the only solution until Google possibly recognizes it's an issue and fixes.
