hi,
does anyone have a working copy of Google Wallet for our device? i installed one but that works as long as NFC is not enabled, lol has anyone tried it? i live outside the US and "luckily" can't root my phone (no unlockable bootloader)
thanks a lot for the help!

I do find it weird that google wallet is not native to the Xperia S considering it has NFC support.
It's cuz if Google's and the service provider's decision. Only nexus on several service providers allow wallet. MasterCard will release its own wallet up using NFC technology and surprisingly it'll support all kinds of cards, not just MasterCard I'm looking forward to it

Tried the usual method of using Market Enabler to download Google Wallet and then trying to launch the application. But it won't play nice and I can't even get into the application. The process worked on my SGN
Anyone else had any luck? If so, how?
Thanks in advance
nope i get the error
unfortunately google wallet has not yet been certified in your country
have you had any luck?
No luck on my Galaxy Nexus, Same error: unfortunately google wallet has not yet been certified in your country
www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-11-r67-v12/ works for me in Brisbane.
I used this method and got it installed, but seems to be an old version?
Thought you could now add Visa cards?
I don't have mastercard.
Latest version isn't available on modaco yet.
Note that you can't add a Visa or Mastercard with a non USA billing address and expect it to work. Not sure about American Express.

Did you use the top method to top up?
I've got a US unlocked Visa card set up. Haven't used it yet.
Works for me in Sydney - but I didn't get the free $10.
And where can you use these in Australia?
I know people have asked questions similar to this before, but all of those threads seem to be from a while ago.
Does anyone know if there is anyway to get google wallet? We have NFC, why can't we use it?
Is there any other option to pay with NFC?
Thanks
Both Google and VZW say it's not our fault or we don't know, I asked a rep why they listed Google wallet as an advantage of having a smart phone but it wasn't offered and I got a non answer.
For other NFC VZW is part of IRIS which just launched but only in Salt Lake City and maybe one other place and it should be active on Inc 4G's there I think, it was part of the last update.

Isis tells me my device isn't comparable, I got the otb update at the beginning of the month. But it says I might need a new SIM card for it to work.
For anyone who wants to store gift cards like on google wallet or apple passbook, pass wallet does a great job.

You will need a new SIM, there is an encryption method used by Isis stored on the SIM.
I understand you can install Xposed framework & then spoof Google wallet to work in the UK, but I'm still curious, are there any Google wallet alternatives for the UK? Thank you!

If you're talking about contactless payments, Orange do a "Quick Tap Wallet" app. Unfortunately it's only usable if you're on Orange and have a Galaxy S3 purchased directly from them. O2 may have something similar, but I've not looked into it.

O2 have their wallet app but it doesn't support NFC payments yet. I read somewhere else in a forum that they would have it ready when the time is right. The Visa payWave app is coming at the end of the year, well at least that's what they put at the bottom of the screen during their advert. Google wallet does suport debit and credit cards now, so if you can get it working in the UK then it will work with more ease. Finally, Orange Tap to pay uses the sim card as a secure element, so it will work on most devices apart from nexus because google wants their customers to use wallet.
So really the only hope is Visa payWave for the moment.
I just downloaded google wallet and added my debit card. Is it really as simple as just enabling NFC and tapping and paying? I've never used it before.
Mods: please move to Q/A. Wasnt paying attention when I posted.

I'm pretty sure this is blocked on Verizon.
Really? Why would you say that when NFC works with everything else?

I used it 2 times on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I got it to work at one McDonald, but it wouldn't at another one. You'll need to find places that will accept Google Wallet. One app I use to find those places is MasterCard PayPass Locator.

It was blocked on the Note 2 also but there were work arounds to get it working by editing build.prop to mimic a Galaxy Nexus (only Verizon phone that wallet is allowed on AFAIK). I still have Wallet working on my Note 2 with this hack and used it quite frequently but it requires root of course.
Once we get root on Note 3 I imagine it won't be long before we'll get a Wallet thread with a work around.
any way to make Isis work since it won't work on rooted phone or other options?
Someone may eventually come up with a workaround but I'd just use google wallet, it's better anyhow.
When I got my g3 at the Verizon store, the usually pretty knowledgeable sales guy told me I needed a new sim for the g3, that my old vgnexus 4gLTE sim would work (yes, it did) but with that old sim in I would NOT have any NFC at all. No google wallet, no Isis, no bump to share, Nada. He said that is because the new sim enabled NFC on the Verizon LG G3.
He also said I would need ISIS, since it was going to succeed where Wallet had obviously failed. Hard to like Verizon, isn't it...but that unlimited grandfathered data...sigh.
I'm still using my SIM from my galaxy nexus and I have used Google wallet many times with my g3.
I'm pretty sure with wants goin on in Iraq Isis will be getting a new name soon.

I can believe that a new sim needed for NFC to access the Secure Element, but standard NFC should work independent of the the sim (at least it did on my galaxy s3). Wallet only "failed" because all major carriers, save for Sprint, locked them out of the Secure Element to begin with. NFC Host Card Emulation, introduced in KitKat, solves this problem and permits Wallet to work on any phone with KitKat and NFC. Even if ISIS worked on rooted devices, I would not use it because of the dirty tactics it was born from.

Isis works if you install xposed with root cloak module.
Same here. I have no intention of ever running ISIS or whatever they change the name to. I use Google Wallet routinely and prefer merchants that accept it, including gas stations.
Works with all my Nexus devices, even the old Verizon Galaxy Nexuses once they are upgraded to KitKat via Roms like CM or Vanir.
root cloak then it is!
work like charm.

Yep, RootCloak is awesome. I personally use Google Wallet, except on small purchases since ISIS is doing the "spend $1, get $1 back" promotion until the end of December now. So a $1 drink at McDonald's ends up costing me $.08 (NY sales tax) haha.

Verizon blocks use of the NFC secure element in the phone for things like Google wallet. There is a secure element on the SIM for ISIS. Verizon argued to the acc that they could certify the secure element in the phone was safe so they block it's access to their network. You can beam photos and stuff phone to phone....but anything done with it over the air must use the secure element on the SIM. I know there was a class action lawsuit against Verizon for this becaus they have a financial interest in blocking Google wallet vs making us use ISIS.

So, the newer Google Wallet doesn't seem to require access to any secure element, on phone or sim, anymore since KutKat, right. The Verizon guy was just wrong, Wallet and bump to share would have worked fine with the old sim, just not ISIS ?

He lied. You might need a new SIM for ISIS because they store the secure element in the SIM not the phone.
Wallet emulates secure element now and doesn't need secure element on the phone or the SIM. The only real requirement is that you be running KitKat because touch to pay doesn't work on any older version of the OS.
NFC is built into the phone.
If you want ISIS on a rooted phone use Xposed and Root Cloak.
