I'm willing to bet not at first. I believe Verizon will keep it off so that it can substitute its own program that does the same thing. Then after a bit the devs will get it working for everyone to use.
I'm pretty bummed the device's for VZ are still shipping without Wallet...The previous "excuse" from VZ was that
...because Google Wallet did "not simply access the operating system and basic hardware of our phones like thousands of other applications," the service "needs to be integrated into a new, secure and proprietary hardware element in our phones"....

I can't see how that excuse given last December is still valid now...If i was a customer of VZ id be pitching a fit...only reason why i somewhat care is b/c the wife is. lol
btw has anyone tried the method mentioned here to get it on their device? Have to use the default android browser to do it evidently, so no Dolphin, or Chrome even...
http://www.androidauthority.com/google-wallet-for-verizon-galaxy-nexus-50922/
...How to Install Google Wallet on Your Verizon Galaxy Nexus Manually:
1. Open browser on your phone and open http://market.android.com
2. Look for Google Wallet
3. If the browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. You should stay in the browser.
4. Once results come back, tap on the icon for Google Wallet.
5. Tap the Install button before signing into your Google account.
Remember, you are doing this from the browser and not from the Market app.
6. When you have already signed in, you will be redirected to the Market page in the browser.
7. Don’t be surprised to discover that you don’t have an option to install the app since it doesn’t support Verizon.
8. Tap the back button so you are prompted for the Browser or Market again. This time, choose the Market.
This will let you open the Google Wallet page through the Android Market. You will get the option to install already.

The method doesn't work, but there appears to be an .apk somewhere that can be installed.
I installed it successfully on my DINC4GLTE. It just does not have the permissions to allow use yet.

I tried the Nexus method (or very similar) on the nexus I had for a week before the Inc4 was released and it worked. Haven't tried it on my Inc4 but it's on my list... I'm kind of waiting for JB ROM or CM10 before I start messing around too much. It was sure nice (JB) for the two days I ran it on the Nexus!
Interesting article about Wallet working on our device:

Got it to install using the apk, but still getting the "not supported on your carrier" message, then it closes. Anyone with root try the build prop mod?

I can see it in the Play Store with that direct link but it still says not available for my phone. So I can't install it.

Actually yeah. I think you have to put it in /system/app

Yeah that's no good for us non-root people
Ignore this post...had an idea...was worthless, like my life atm.
For those that are rooted you can try the version from Modaco. http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-15-r75-v6/
It will open but gives me an "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release keys)" error. I'm still researching this one.

thanks! much appreciated.
why can't we see certain apps like this and Netflix on the app store?
If you where able to click the link, and the market displayed the application, then it means you probably overlooked it during your search. As for netflix the new update wouldn't show for me either.

By default, it will not show up because it needs fine-grained GPS.. which the Nook Color does not have.

No, you are not doing anything wrong. Google has chosen to enforce device requirements on the app, so now it won't list from the market on an unsupported device.
Accessing from the web browser, you'll see the following:
"This app is incompatible with your Bn NookColor" Note: if you renamed your device, it may not show the same device name, but it's the same result.
Same with Netflix and other apps you can't get on the device. However, if you'd downloaded the APK before this, you can still see it on your market. However, I've not received any new updates, so either no updates or it won't update if not available for the device in question.

I have G+ on both my Droid X and NC (I just made a backup of the .apk on the DX using "My Backup Pro" and moved it to the NC). I have not seen an update on my DX since 1.0.2, so I don't believe there has been an update in a couple weeks.
Not sure if I should put this in the themes and apps but it is a question!
Does anyone have a working google wallet apk for this phone? I haven't seen any posts about it and I have done as much searching as I can

While most custom roms support NFC now; google wallet has yet to work on our phones.
I think there's a port on for the i9100. not sure about this phone.

No way, considering the I9100 (except for the I9100P) does not even have NFC hardware.
GWallet has been ported to the Nexus S (non-Sprint) and I think to the GNex.
I've gotten everything to not FC, but Google Wallet will not load past initializing. Not quite sure why at this point though.
this sux... i was just wondering the same thing since one of my buddies was just telling me about this.. but thanx alot guys
I can install the .apk but when I run it I get an error message
"Not Supported--Unfortunately, Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device/carrier."
"Update Android--This version of Android is not supported by the Google Wallet app. Please check your phone for system updates."

Actually there isn't an ICS version. It's telling him to be on 2.3.7, the first Android version to support Google Wallet.
I flashed a 4.0.3 rom and google wallet works perfectly. Only problem is that the rom is unstable and it's for i9100 so the capacitive buttons don't work correctly. On my current rom (ics'd out v9) it won't go past the "Initializing" screen.

I've installed it by putting the apk into system/app changing the permissions, rebooting, and then installing with root browser from system/app. The thing is that it says that there's some kind of network issue, but I read somewhere that its because Samsung blocked its servers. And they say that there's a lot of stuff it can do that vlingo can't plus it talks back like siri

The network error issue is because it looks for I9300 string, which is specific to Galaxy S3 (they are not making it easy for everyone)
Here is the link to the modified apk which already modify within the apk to pass the I9300 back to vlingo network: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785
download the "Modified APK" to your SD card then uninstall the previous version before install the new one.
Just install like any other normal apk. Hope this work for you
Be sure to let us know if it works!
i tried it once...after reading a lot...i downloaded the signed apk file and changed permission and then try changing your build.prop
change the product and device to GT-I9300
thats capital i at GT-I9300
then u must be on ics rom
Anyone have any luck with the Amazon Appstore?
I installed the most recent version and it just opens to a black screen with the Amazon Appstore log and search box at the top and the menu button at the bottom. Nothing responds.
Does anyone know where I can get a reliable previous version?
Edit--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I acted too soon. I had an old version from October 2012 that works.
Click here for the apk.
I have the same problem - and I had to use the same solution. Very strange problem and I wonder if there's more than two of us with it.
I've seen other posting the same in other forums. Hopefully Amazon finds a solution soon. I'd really like to get rid of the update message everytime I run the Appstore.

YES - Don't do it for now. Something is messed up with the newest version to where it won't let you log on or download any of your apps.
You can try the update. If you the app fails to start up you can just uninstall and re-install the old apk.I don't know if or when an update will come. Its hard to tell when you always have an update notification.
Appstore is not compatible with Sense 5. I have the same issue on my Droid DNA that's running Sense 5. The only workaround is using the old APK and hope for a fix from Amazon.
Hey, for some reason when I go to download Verizon Cloud to restore some of my data it won't let me download it, it says "this item isn't available on your carrier" even though I have a Verizon phone.
Any help would be appreciated!
Also the ROM that I installed was Tron 2.2, runs super smoothly

On Tron, and most other AOSP/AOKP ROMs, the phone no longer identifies itself as a "Verizon" phone, so Verizon specific apps don't work... Some of them you can side load and will work, others will not or will only work partially since most of them require other Verizon specific apps and services to be running on the phone and I don't know of any AOSP ROMs that have those services loaded. Check the various APK repositories and try to install, but to be honest it's only a 50/50 chance it will work.
This is the reason that we generally use Ultimate Backup (or Titanium Backup, My Backup, etc) and Nandroid images, and Google cloud based services and do not use Verizon services on custom ROMs.
Alright, fixed the issue, went into my build.prop and changed "ro.carrier" from "unkown" to "verizon" and aloud me to download it.
