I've just spent the past couple of hours trying most of the available apks for Google Wallet. I did manage to get the 1.1r67-v12 version installed and running, however when I go to activate it tells me my hardware is not supported. Supposedly this was a known issue for G3 users on other carriers and Google released a fix for Sprint users. I have yet to find this update available in the form of an APK.
If anybody has access to a Sprint S3, could you please get me the APK?
For those interested, Google for a download link to the 1.1r67-v12 and using root explorer, copy it to both system/app and data/app and then reboot. Make sure the perms are correct (google it, rw--r--r or something similar.
My next steps are to try the build.prop trick in combination with the above apk.
If anybody else has any progress on this, please post below.
Thanks
I thought the Verizon version shipped without NFC (no antenna in battery I mean)

Wait where did you get this idea? Wasn't NFC one of the key features of the Galaxy s 3? it would seem pretty silly for them to take it out. Then again they locked the boot loader =/

The Verizon page for the GS3 has S-Beam as listed. It wouldn't be listed if it didn't have NFC.
Verizon probably won't allow Google Wallet because they have a competing product, called ISIS. Bummer.
**Warning....wild speculation follows....
From what I can tell there is something missing (might be a bug) in the current version of our OS that isn't letting Google Wallet recognize the NFC device. Sprint had the same issue and apparently there was an update released OTA that fixed the issue for most everybody. If we could somehow get ahold of the before and after image and figure out exactly what was changed, we should be able to emulate they fix on the Verizon phone and get Google Wallet working.
I'm going to keep banging away at it, but there are plenty here way more experienced than I.....so here's hoping somebody else is looking at this.
ok...so the Market Enabler trick doesn't work either.
Obviously Google Wallet recognizes our NFC chip as if I turn it off Wallet will complain that it is off until I turn it on.
I've pulled down the two OTA's that Sprint has pushed out. One of which is supposed to fix the issue on Spring S3's.
Anybody know if its possible to extract the files within the updated boot.img files and apply them somehow post boot since we can't modify the current boot.img on the phone?
If anybody is a dev or knows a dev and they wouldn't mind taking a look at this thread, please let me know.

I fully agree.....however I'm sure there are plenty of people out there with the skills required to do this who aren't working on the boot loader problem.
If I knew more than I do now i'd be working on the bootloader problem myself...however my current lack of skills would only serve to impede progress so instead I'm trying to work on stuff wanted by many others.
+1 on this issue.
I just talked to Verizon who said it was Samsung's fault and I talked to Samsung who said it was Verizon's fault, regarding Google wallet not working. So sick of the nonsense.
Christ our backwoods local little country food store has NFC payments. I'm so sick of this crap this should have been our phone and working. I will not be using any Verizon payment systems, screw them.

Its definetly verizons fault. It works on all other carriers yet only verizons phone has the most problems and also their public support behind ISIS only adds fuel to the fire. I wish Verizon listened to their customers for once and stopped trying to control everything.

Hi All,
Been having issues with Nexus 5 now for a while and don't seem to be able to resolve it, originally my partner had the Nexus 5 from new since December 2013. She complained like hell about it so eventually I got in contact with Google and got them to agree to a new replacement device (I then kept the new one and she had my S4)
At numerous points through out the day the Nexus 5 while go into "roaming mode" (H+/4G logo replaced with R at the top) and the only way to get it out of Roaming mode is to go into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, from here to manually scan and then select auto again.
Google Play have sent me 3 replacement devices incase of a hardware issue but all 4 phones have had this issue now, my partners S4 and S5 dont suffer with the same issue and she is on Three aswell.
The one thing I have noticed is when I manually scan for networks Three comes up twice in the list, so maybe its an issue auto switching between then two?
Google keep trying to get me to run in safe mode, do factory resets etc but nothing works, I have now sent them a response today basically saying I've had enough and want to return the item so I can go out and buy a HTC One M8 (not holding my breath)
Nexus 5, Android 4.4.4 KTU84P on Three UK.
Anybody else had this? it seems to be Hardware and Network specific
Are you rooted if so what ROM?
I used to have it a lot but not for a long time now. Three UK also.

You should try a custom ROM. As mentioned I've not had this issue for ages. I think perhaps not since I moved to SlimKat. Maybe give it a try? Root isn't activated in it by default so won't affect those 2 apps.

Not saying it will solve the issue for you, but I can say i haven't had this issue for a long time (and I used to a lot with Three) so its at least worth a try.
I don't have any special settings set. There is only an option for national data roaming but when we roam, we only get voice from Orange anyway. 2G I think

I get this, but only in a low signal area.
I get this from time to time, on any phone I've used in the year I've been with Three (One M7, Nexus 5, One M8, Nexus 5). Usually fixes itself once back in a decent area

Installed Slimkat tonight using the following methord.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install CWM
3. Install Slimkat and Gapps
Now I'm not sure if its fixed the initial issue yet only a few days of testing will confirm that but I now have two more issues.
1. Even though I never rooted the phone, SkyGo and Barclays are saying its rooted and wont let me use them
2. The DPI is awful (very small) and it wont let me change it using an app because guess wot... I need root access

I guess that's why root cloak doesn't work with those 2 particular apps
Try and edit the zip and reflash it without the su binary. You can also edit the DPI in build.prop at the same time.

Anyone on a carrier that already has RCS Universal Profile enabled that can confirm if this is working in Android Messages on the OnePlus 6?
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/aqu22f/ability_to_disable_the_second_sim_slot/
I don't own the phone, but every single Android phone with Google Play Services on a somewhat modern OS (I think either L or M) supports Universal Profile RCS in the Android Messages app. I think Samsung Messages also supports it, but I haven't tried it myself. I think the Google Carrier Services app is also required, but fortunately this is installed by default from the Google Play store.
Only the old, non-Universal Profile versions of RCS were device (and carrier) specific.
Hopefully this is the case with the OnePlus. It would be nice if someone on a carrier that supports it could verify anyways.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
My carrier (Rogers) supports it but I haven't gotten it to work as of yet.
From what I gathered, OnePlus does not support rcs yet. I am on AT&T which supports their "advanced messaging" (just renaming rcs), but so far it only looks like select Samsung and LG phones support it. Not only does the carrier and the messaging app need to support rcs, so does the manufacturer...and all three have to be true on the recipients end as well, otherwise you just send an SMS.
I am also curious as to weather a custom ROM can add rcs support or is it something only the manufacturer can do?

Advanced messaging is a proprietary version of RCS from what I understand RCS UP is part of the latest version of Android and Android Messages. At&t had yet to say much about their support for RCS UP.

I'm on Telia with OnePlus 6 and RCS doesn't work.
I've even been in contact with Telia and had then deactivate RCS on their end, re-entered via Android Messages (successfully) and it still doesn't work.
An old Galaxy S5 was the exact same way, which leads me to believe the list above from AT&T is at least somewhat representative.
My old Nexus 5 was fine, but that's bad on the G3 I believe so that makes sense.

RCS Universal works in Android Messages on my OnePlus 3, so I would assume it works on the OnePlus 6 too. I'm running ResurrectionRemix though (based on LOS). I can check with OOS when my OnePlus 6 arrives in the next few days. My SIM card at least supports it for sure (tested myself with the OnePlus 3).

I have a OnePlus 3 also and it does not work for me. I have tried everything. I am on Rogers and they definitely support it here. Only difference is I am not on a custom ROM. I am using the latest official beta build. Are you happy with ResurrectionRemix?
If it can be solved by changing the ROM than I may be tempted to finally root this phone. This is the first phone I have had, that I did not bother to root.
I am going to see if RCS is working on my wife's Xiaomi Redmi Note 5.

Well that indeed points towards lacking RCS support in OOS, which would be a shame.
I am very happy with RR! Check out the official thread on the OnePlus 3 forum, a user there maintains a up-to-date bug list after every new build. If there is nothing in there that bothers you (all minor issues for me, I actually never came across any of them in daily use), go for it! I could not recommend RR more.
Once RR gets released for the 1+6 I will be flashing it. Just have to wait for proper notch support and an official LOS release. Until then I'll miss a lot of RR features dearly in OOS.

That's good to know. I used to use RR on my Nexus 5 and was very happy with it. Perhaps the best ROM I tried. The Nexus was super easy to root as I used a rooting tool that someone had made. Just plug and play. I researched rooting the OP3 when I first got it and it seemed to complicated to bother at the time as I was happy with the beta builds. Now that I am lacking RCS it kinda pisses me off. Why wouldn't 1+ add support. Google claims all phones past KitKit are supposed to support it. I think the fact that all OnePlus phones don't point to a bug in their software.
Do you know of any simple plug and play tools for unlocking and rooting the OP3 that I could try. Phone's getting laggy anyways and it could use a clean slate.

Let's keep the thread clean from OT from another device. I'll drop you a PM later when I get home.
Has anyone by now managed to get RCS working with Android Messages on OOS? I do see the Advanced Chat features options in settings, but when I try to enable it, it just loads forever. On my OnePlus 3 with a custom ROM (LOS based) this process takes around 20 seconds and then RCS works. Waiting didn't help on my OnePlus 6 with OOS though, still not enabled after hours.
If you are seeing the advanced chat features options that’s a great sign, contact your carrier and ask them to reset your RCS profile (if they are on universal profile this is something they do through Google) once that’s done reboot your phone and see if it works.

That's where you're wrong. OOS does not stop Android Messages from (successfully) activating RCS, everything is seemingly fine.
You just aren't able to actually send or receive RCS messages.
I have the settings, I get the activation notification you attached a photo of, I get a successfull activation screen, my carrier sees me activated.
You wouldn't be able to tell I don't have RCS functionality, everything points to it working. However it doesn't.
I've one through every possible solution to my lacking RCS on my (stock) OnePlus 6. I've reset Android Messages completely, I've had my carrier (Telia) deactivate RCS on my number/SIM. I've reset Android Messages once again, rebooted, checked data settings. Everything. I've even switched SIM-cards (and have had the whole thing rest afterwards, yes.)
OOS for some reason hasn't flipped the RCS switch, like someone else mentioned.
The same happened on a Galaxy S5 with stock M for what it's worth. It seems to be a "thing".
Here's a checklist for people who feel like weighing in on OnePlus 6 having RCS:
* Are you on the STOCK ROM?
* Are you actually on a OnePlus 6?
* Do you not have Magisk etc installed?
If no to any of the above, your experience is not relevant in this case.
RCS works on custom ROMs, it doesn't on stock ROM. None of us have been able to get it to work.
Hi all!
So I've been tempted to downgrade to MM to try out the dirtysanta ADB root. I heard there are some issues with internal and external storage, but I figured I'd at least give it a shot.
To get the anti-rollback version, I tried calling the number everyone has been throwing around (*#546368#*987#) but it doesn't seem to work (I have VS987 BTW). Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Yeah, I hope they did too. I've been wanting a solution to this for some time.
The fact that this code doesn't work should indicate to you that it isn't version 0. I have the same phone, but it's junk. Bootloader is encrypted with 256bit or similar, meaning it's impossible to modify without the key. Verizon will never unlock it because then you wouldn't have to go through them for hotspot. Trash the phone and get one that actually has root. Sorry.

Hey everyone
I just heard about Huawei been a bit more relaxed about rooting their Mate 30 Pro.
At First I was like that is AWESOME, the idea of been able to use the Mate 30 Pro with pixel experience (my favourite custom Rom) sounds amazing.... best Pixel stock experience on a beast like Mate 30 would be epic.
Then I found a strange taste in my mouth. There would still be some draw backs. Thought I would list some concerns and people could answer some of those concerns.
(Note....each concern/question has a solution or comment I think about the issue.....this is just my view and not to be taken as the only view)
1. Lack of full potential from cameras on the back?
I know some custom ROM camera apps are pretty good l, but to really experience the best from the camera's you would have to have some access to l the Mate 30 Pro stock camera app package to allow.
A thought I had is that Huawei could make a APK that's a bit like Goodlock and this app would allow you to download the stock camera app and other stock apps that people may use on their Huawei devices.
2. LTE and 5G??
I can remember using my Samsung S7E with Pixel Experience but one of the draw backs was that I could get 4G but I didn't get the extra features like LTE, wifi calling, HD call quality ect. If this remained the case then this would be a major draw back to a 2019 flagship device.
Maybe Huawei could needed coding and solutions directly to custom Rom developers....or allow then to be a open source so every ROM devloper had access these features.
3. General Custom ROM glitches and bugs
We are all used to our ROMs having strange behaviours every now and ad gain but do we want these bugs on our £800+ smartphone that we use eveqersryday.
This solution seems obvious Huawei need to work closely with custom Rom developers and helping them Iron these issues out.
4. Some apps dont work on custom Roms no matter what.
Back to my S7e I was able to almost all of the apps on my phone thanks to magisk manager but some apps still had issues. My samsung gear app would pair with my gearfit 2 no matter what. It downloaded but it would not find any devices. I found a fix but that caused my Google to stop working, so had to put it back. This happened with other apps as well.
The only solution I can think of is app developers would have to made aware that mate 30 users could be using rooted devices with Huawei's blessing and ensure there apps work on rooted versions of the phone.
5. Is Warranty still safe.
If Huawei are actually cool with us rooting our P30 Pro then they need to put their money where their mouth is and allow this activity with their manufactures warranty, private insurance companies need to follow suit as well.
Huawei could give us manufactures warranty but with the condition that if possible we have to flash the stock firmware of the device before sending it out.
That's it....that's just s few of my thoughts and possible solutions and would love to hear what you guys think and if you have any worries or questions of your own? Maybe if we make enough noise Huawei will notice us and take our ideas and answer our questions themselves.
(Make it easier....put which number comment your answering to so we all have a better idea what's going on)
Keep it friendly guys remember these are mine and others thoughts.... none of us are implying that these thoughts are right.
By the way... I am a Note 9 user but I am really excited of the potential of Huawei been the ultimate custom ROM brand.
Official Pixel Experience is pretty much nill on Huawei Devices. I see the Honor 10 has
again been dropped.
When the Ban is lifted Huawei will lock the bootloader again no doubt.
they have changed their mind, they will not unlock the BL for the Mate 30.
the only place this device will sell well is China, they are screwed pretty much everywhere else.
I just bought one in shanghai yesterday. Its a very neat and fast phone. especially the 40w charging is cool. you can watch percentages go up...
I asked for the 5G version but i was told its not availbale and should come November. I was wondering though if its already built in and just needs a software patch... like back then when Nvidia was reducing performace on Graphic cards by disabling shaders by firmware...

I would say most likely it works, as the China version covers pretty much all the network.
You could find out the specs from their website and check if the LTE bands covers T-Mobiles. It works on Bell's network though.

I am in TX, I got Mate 30 Pro from China, and it works with T-mobile showing "4G" icon. The speed test result is like to my old iPhone 6.
By the way, I have 2 sim card, one is China Union (works on AT&T's network) which support VoLTE, the other is T-Mobile which does not.

Thank you I think I'm convinced
I was trying to find a thread about the bootloader being unlocked on this phone and couldn't find one. I came across this video on YouTube where this guy turns on his phone and says his phone unlocked. He doesn't say how he did it but I'm thinking someone might want to contact him and ask him how he did it. About 2 minutes in he shows this

Most likely a review unit like others have had, release software dosnt have OEM unlock option in developers, if something comes of the int. Version we may be able to get rebranding but has yet to be seen
He commented about it being a devkit under the comment by Markus Haier here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pxYxPSbl_s and said he was going to make a video on it but still nothing.
@o012 Well my P30-Pro (VOG-L09) has OEM unlocking under developer options but haven't tried unlocking.
All works in canada except certain banking apps google backup netflix google pay androis assistant needs to be rebooted everytime. Rest all works fine including google photo backup
Has anyone installed a custom ROM and TWRP to it yet.
Could a Gapps package help the issues? Gapps include all the google services and system setting to keep google stable and updating.
Think Gapps could be installed via the phones built in bootloader??.
