How is that possible? AFAIK, you can only hide it.
To the OP - try installing Lookout Plan B

I saw some reports that on the galaxy Nexus you could brick the secure element of Google wallet.
The way around this was to reset your Google wallet before doing a ROM flash.
Is this still a problem on the galaxy S3?

I haven't used Google Wallet yet but I have flashed a custom Rom. What should I do if I don't want to brick the secure element?

Reset Google Wallet from the settings in the app any time before you wipe data. As long as you do that you should be fine.

Now that you're on a custom ROM + not using Wallet, you're free to continue making changes to your device without any worries of bricking the secure element.......however, once your wallet is activated, you will have to reset it prior to performing a hard reset to your firmware / flash a new ROM or you run the risk of borking the nfc secure element. Once you're done with your firmware changes re-activate your wallet, it'll work just fine.

Thank you. So basically, until you actually need/want to use Google Wallet, keeping it reset is the best practice.

Right, that's what I did a few times and so far I have no problems.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Is there any way to test if you have bricked this portion of your phone? When I first attempted to use Wallet (day phone arrived) it gave me an error about Sprint not being about to use it and it would reclose w/o me being able to do anything.
After rooting the phone, GW loaded right up, but I get the Unsupported Device error along the top complaining about the phone being rooted. My GW "activated" and dropped $10 into my account, but how do I know if it actually works?

I don't know if you tried to pull out the simcard and clean the contacts. This was a common issue on the HTC Desire HD and this little fix worked fine.

Updated to Jelly Bean??
if yes go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
Is the phone new? Has it ever worked for you? Have you considered the fact that it could be network locked(SIM locked)?
My phone ALWAYS shows "Not registered on Network" when I'm at home, that's because signal is terrible since I updated to JB (modem related).
Have you tried different SIMs from different networks? Have you tried your current SIM in a different phone?
[the phone is from 29 june..always worked bit one day data stopped working.. i got a HTC sensation and the SIM works fine in that phone/SIZE]

Ok,
so here comes the question my girlfriend always asks me :laugh:
"What did you do between it working, and it no longer working?"
You say data doesn't work, does that mean you can make phone calls?
I didnt do anything it just stopped working and i cant do phone calls...its like using an iPod.. maybe someone blocked my imei?could it be possible?

Yes, it's entirely possible, but you'll need to check with your provider. There is no way of checking from the device itself if the IMEI has been blocked.
Did you buy the phone new?
You could, potentially, be extremely unlucky and someone blocked the wrong IMEI code when attempting to block their own.
Ye it was new..there is no way to make it work then?

Well, if it really has been blocked, you should get in touch with your provider, and potentially have to go through some lengthy process of proving to them you legitimately own the device and didn't block it yourself. It's unlikely though, as I've never heard of a device being removed from the block list before.
Your other option is to leave the country, it will work in another country
Failing that, return it to Samsung telling them it just stopping working, you did nothing, and insist they replace it.
Probably wrong Kernel, happened often to me on my old sensation

What network are you on? I had to go to t mobile web site to get configuration settings sent to phone. All was then ok. You are not providing enough information, Network, whether phone had ever worked, if it has been modified in any way etc.etc.

It needs internet. If I use wallet on 3g it takes awhile to go through due to sprints slow internet. The card might connect to your phone and share data through it once u sync it

Yes. I tried it myself. Turned the radio and wifi off and used it buy lunch at Sheetz.
My normal checking account bank card has NFC. What's stored on the card is just your account number and some other identifying items. That's also whats stored on the phone. whenever you swipe your card or bump your phone, the merchants system pulls your info from the card or phone and somehow confirms it's legit. I think that's how it works. So all your phone is doing is giving the merchant your account info. The merchant's system does the rest.

That makes sense
I recently got a note 2 in a trade and it seems to be stuck in a display mode . It acts like the phones you try out at the Verizon store. It has a menu showing all the features and will go into the video the phones play at the Verizon store . I tried rooting and installing a custom ROM (jedix) but that didn't help at all. I'm thinking its some kind of file in the phone that if you were to delete it would remedy the problem. The phone also wasnt stolen from the store because I had it activated and it had a clean ESN . Any help at all would be much appreciated . I'm in dire need of a phone lol.

It is allready unlocked. Will I still need to root it? (Also looks like the guy is being tracked down by police since I'm not the first person he fooled.) I'm very angry of this situation since I didnt spent $100 or $200 bucks, I spent $400 that is much money to throw it like in the thrash.

What I know is that the phone is original from At&t and its reported there. So I will be able to use it with T-Mobile instead right? since the phone is unlocked.

Have a look at this from T-Mobile, AT&T were already doing it, IMIE blocking blocks the phone across all network in that country, you could probably use it abroad normally as its not on a US network but using in the US unlikely

Yes but you get the far bigger problem of illegal imei changing which can get you intr real deep trouble.
Also, imei cannot be changed easily, only transplanted.
Note that most "stolen" devices are not stolen per se (they often come in original boxes) but are insurance claims.
