Is Google Wallet completely broken???? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

i havent been able to get it fully set up since I got this damn phone...first it was stuck on activating account...now its sayind my device isnt supported..wtf!! any help???

I am pretty sure what I have read they are trying to get something fixed before they activate it for our phone which is a bummer.

Yes it is. They claim to be working on a fix for it but it has taken them how long so far? I personally think they have just given up on our phone.

There are fixes, but I have still not been able to use it. At McDonalds last night it was stuck on Authorizing Transactions and today at walgreens it would never open the wallet app when I touched it to the terminal.

Works fine for me.

I called and they told me that it was a problem that they are working on but no ETA on the fix... Also it tells me that rooted devices are not supported which I think is BS

Not BS, a rooted device could pose a threat to the secure element of the NFC chip and could potentially exploit card data from it. Remember modders are not majority users, and storing credit card info is a big risk for Google to take.
Now it'll still work with root, but you are taking a risk that something could potentially go wrong.

Don't listen to him..... It's not bricked. Mine was working perfectly yesterday and now it says that. It's just Google locking us down.
And I just checked my girlfriends phone and hers says the same thing. She hasn't done anything to her phone.

I thought the same thing until I noticed that everywhere I shop except the grocery store has NFC compatible credit card machines, so google wallet would come on very handy if it ever worked. I find myself forgetting my wallet at home more than my phone, so for me this would be a great tool.

It comes up where the "your device is not supported for your carrier/country" is. At least mine did.
I actually had to install the gw update before it said secure element not responding.
If I were u and had a perfectly functioning phone I would not root it until the gw is up again. Live to flash roms on my og EVO, but this phone is so awesome without it for now I'm happy w it.
I'm sure people will flash away and heed no warnings. Just be careful out there my androodles!

Play Green Hornet 3D

I read on here last night somewhere of a work around to play the 3D Green Hornet without having to accept the OTA update. Is this still possible because I wanted to see what the 3D looks like.

True but if they do get root before HTC decides to give it to us, I don't want to be one of the sorry souls who updated and will have to wait on HTC. Not worth it in my opinion, especially just for the Green Hornet.

I know it might be too late for this OTA, but I wonder if it closes the exploit to obtain temp root.
Just wondering How and where did you happen to get this info from?
Yeah where's your source.
I still wont touch any updates, im not loosing any chances for full root and unlocked. Ill deal with it, im sure it'll be baked into a custom ROM when theyr'e available.

Cerberus Security App

I just wanted to let everyone know that this excellent security app is offering FREE life time memberships (licenses basically) until February 29th to mark having a hundred thousand users. To get it, just install the apk, create an account, than go here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
The best thing about Cerberus is it's root permissions to do things like force GPS on if it's off, take pictures if people try and access your phone and email the picture to you, and of course send it's location to you along with standard wipe my phone functionality. Definitely worth checking out. You can find it in ROM Manager or on the Market. If you get it from ROM Manager it will install the apk into your system apps so that it survives factory resets and will still provide all of it's functionality.
Oh and I'm sourcing the find to Android Police.

No Google Wallet with root?

Hey everyone I just rooted and went to setup Google wallet it's telling me it's now unsupported since I'm rooted.
Any ideas? Or workarounds?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Did you get the unsupported device banner? I got that banner on my rooted Nexus but Google wallet still worked at check outs.
Yes it says unsupported along top. I'll try setting it up anyhow.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Ya it should still work, least mine did. Used at mcdonalds and 711 even with the banner on display.
i read over in the EvoLTE forum that before you root you need to clear the data for google wallet IN THE APP (not with TB or anything else). And you have to do so every time you flash something. If you don't it is no longer secure
if you get the pop up saying the secure element is broken or something then google wallet is fried forever on that device. your not supposed to use google wallet and be rooted. i rooted and unlocked my galaxy nexus right when i got it and when i tried wallet i lost my 50 dollar credit and wallet access.

I have a galaxy Nexus and I know all about wallet. If you setup your Google Wallet on your device, even every time you load a new rom you have to clear Google wallet from within the actual wallet app. Open gw, then go to settings, then clear Google wallet data

So wait I am confused here. If I used the normal root procedure using odin, but already had it set up I can't use Google Wallet for secure transactions anymore ever, or is it just when I flash new ROM's? If I borked it when I rooted it, it would have been nice to have had that disclaimer on the root thread telling people to do this before rooting.

Can my nfc chip be broken but google wallet still work???

I wanna know cuz i've been trying to use it twice now and i get embarrassed cuz i end up having to pay with money. whenever i put it on the pay pass with the screen on and unlocked, it does nothing.... am I doing something wrong????
I've been wondering the same question. Walgreens and McDonalds both haven't worked for me while showing no errors.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
When you look at those machines they should have a green status light.....I went to sprint and tried it once on 5 machines didn't work then when I went to Walgreens and CVS I noticed that both of their machines had a green light on the pay pass icon or on the top. I'm going to state obvious but sometimes the NFC gets checked off I've noticed...

I went to jack in the box and it worked once, went again after I rooted and followed all instructions correctly so I don't brick nfc and tried again with no success.

In the Mastercard PayPass locator app on the market, if you click on a location that reports that it has PayPass, it gives you the option to report problems, including if the Site isn't working.
I don't know how fast they are about fixing problems (or if they actually fix them). But hey, it's worth a shot if you frequent the place.

I work at a cvs part time. I don't know about all stores but the ones I've been to around my home always work. I've only seen a few people actually pay with Google wallet but it was pretty cool when I saw it. Just make sure you hold it there for a good 2 seconds or so.

I am in the exact same boat. 2nd time I have tried at McDonalds and I had to pay cash both times.
How do I know if my NFC is bricked? My wallet comes up and says $10 balance on my Google Card... I press the phone to the machine and it kind of just pops up with the Wallet Icon..
I look dumb but I want to get it to work.
Am I bricked? Is there even a way to tell?
I haven't had any problems at CVS except for once when I had my data connection turned off.
I guess best place to go is 7-11.
