Sprint must be giving up on google wallet. Since all the other carriers have "Isis", Sprint is getting their own wallet

Fine by me, Google obviously doesn't feel like even making an attempt to make their product work with our phones.

If i were to buy the S3 from sprint, then unlock it and use it with ATT; will i be able to use the google wallet and pay with it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yes, Google Wallet is carrier agnostic.
But it HAS to be from sprint right? Or so says the google wallet device compatibility page.
Lol nvm. Just remembered that sprint is cdma so its impossible anyways.
So no google wallet for international or att s3 right?

From waht I know, Google Wallet is attached to your google account. It shouldn't matter whether it's international or not, you sign in with that G Account and it will work. But I dunno for sure.
Im talking about the NFC google wallet in which you pay with your phone. Not the one you pay on the play store. Not sure if you know what i mean.
Google wallet (nfc) isnt compatible with all devices. So thats why im asking, and if anybody got it working on their non sprint s3.
Thanks though

It states it has NFC, but will it be able to use Google wallet. I know Verizon doesn't want users to have or use Google wallet, however haven't seen anything addressing this. It it will be able to do Google wallet, this WILL be my next phone.

it been asked in a couple of threads, and currently you can download the google wallet app, but when you try to use it it pops up with an error about it not being supported your device or mobile network
I currently have the nexus, and mine says unsupported, but still works. I guess I will order the phone and see what I can do.

hopefully the wonderful devs can get it to work, since currently that pops up right after you try to launch the app. it doesnt even go into the app
No verizon does not support google wallet. Currently sprint is only one with google voice and wallet. I have the evo lte and yeah i do have wallet but the damn thing is a pain in the azz to deal with if you flash alot. You have to flash it seperately and wipe it clean after every flash and reset it up everytime. Everytime you flash a rom you will have to reset up card info name addy etc. I quit using it isnt worth the time or hassle.

I dunno though i get the same unsupported message with my evo on sprint being rooted. Not many places take it anyhow and it really doesnt save much time. Ive found that many places there end is messed up. This is definately something that is something that makes no difference to me if it has it or not. I have it and dont think ive used it in over a month.

Another EVOLTE user here, I believe that the need to wipe gWallet settings between flashes has been resolved and no longer needed FWIW....

But that alone means nothing. Wallet is still is not supported on Verizon and it is sounding like we'll need a modified version to side-load for Wallet to work.
Yeah, I tried to install it from the play store. It opens then tells me the device/network is not supported and quits. Such a shame. F'in Verizon...
I think this might have been answered before, but why can't the LG Optimus G use Google Wallet to make NFC payments? I use Vanilla Rootbox (the May 18 build) and it lets me install it, but I've been worried that running it might damage something since I read we can't use it.
My main question: Why can't we use it when the Nexus 4 (by most all regards, the same phone) can?

Since it works for them, I guess so. I don't really know anything about it other than the ATT OG not having it so it will never work.

Your assumptions are wrong. Go through this thread and you'll see that it doesn't work. Not without the xposed mod. And even then it's a hit and miss.

So why can't we use the Xposed mod? I just have a hard time believing that the Spring LGOG and AT&T LGOG could be so different (I thought the only real difference was the camera, TBH. I'm probably way off though. Idk.)

You can use the xposed mod. It's not just for us. It's for any phone. The xposed framework has more use than just the wallet mod as well. But if I had to guess, I'd say it'd be hit and miss as well. (besides the radios, design change, and camera, they pretty much are the same)
We don't have secure element because AT&T sucks and wants to use ISIS which isn't even available outside of like two places.

Visitor here from the s4 thread. Just wanted to shed some light on Isis for you guys. I for one hate Isis and will stick with Google wallet for as long as I can but if you want to try Isis, you can. They're testing in two markets. However, you're still able to get the Isis sim without being in those markets because Isis works where any paywave/paypass terminals are. Not just Isis terminals. I wanted to try Isis and be open-minded. After an hour on the phone with the rep at the call center and reps at the test markets, I found out the correct item number for the Isis sim which is 'item #41005'. Just ask them you'd like an item shipped and you have the item number. They'll ship it for free. Once you receive it, you activate it and launch Isis. As you're well aware, it won't work with rooted phones. If you're willing to try it, go for it. But for me, I didn't like it at all. It is very limited and clunky. They only support two credit cards but there is an Isis reloadable card you may use if you don't have the cards supported. But I'm sticking with Google wallet on my phone.

And that sim will work with an LG Optimus G? I am willing to try it. After getting it you go to a local ATT store and have it activated? I'll miss a 4.2.2 ROM though :/

As I understand it, the Isis SIM Card comes with a Secure Element in it, so devices like ours (which is compatible with Isis) can use it.

It doesn't use "secure element" like in Wallet. The SIM essentially acts the same as a secure element would but is not Wallet compatible.

So I really like the idea of google wallet and would like to have it on my att htc one. I tried xposed/modaco toolkit and google wallet crashes during the setting up google wallet phase.
After trying a few different roms, I waited for the GE edition ROM hoping that would solve it. It didn't, I am still having the same problem with wallet crashing during the setup process.
Anyone have any suggestions? I would donate a good chunk of change if anyone could program a solution or come up with one.
I dont mean to sound like a **** but there are NUMEROUS threads about this very topic, and I can assure you that once someone makes Wallet available to us AT&T One users, it will be on the front page of every mobile device tech site
I can't get it to set up. But I did get it installed..... Driving me crazy. I may switch to the s4 just because this issue.

According to this article on Engadget AT&T HTC One does not have a 'chip' for wallet in it
"Since this Google Play edition is based on AT&T's version, it lacks the chip required for Google Wallet"

Sounds crazy. The chip is the the NFC Chip . Or if not what chip else should that be ?
I thought it was NFC too. But after reading this I have doubts..

I gave up on Google Wallet for my phones. I've installed ISIS on my Verizon Droid Maxx; and it's okay. Accepted everywhere Wallet was here in Los Angeles, which is to say not many places. Not as good as Wallet in terms of seeing your purchase receipts on the phone, and limited credit cards, but it uses Amex, which is all I ever use.
I'd be happy to install ISIS on my T-Mo HTC One, but of course, T-Mo is way behind Verizon in rolling it out nationally. My VZW Maxx came with an ISIS SIM, and you can order one on VZW website. T-Mo still makes you go to a T-Mo store in Austin or SLC. <sigh>
I'm going to file complaint with the FTC. The Verizon users are filing against VZW with the FCC, since part of their LTE spectrum deal was that they would not block users from installing any apps on their phones.
