Note 3 and Tap to Pay - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Is tap and pay working for anyone else? It did not on my first note 3, but I just exchanged it and was able to use tap and pay this morning. Attaching screenshots

It worked fine for me yesterday. Did you have NFC on? And did the place that you attempted to use tap and pay, did they have that mobile wallet symbol right above their card reader?

Yes, it did work. That was actually my point. I was told it would not work, so I was curious

From what I know after April 20th I believe, tap and pay will not work for our phones again nor for pre KitKat versions

Tap to Pay became available on the Note 3 with the recent Kit Kat update as stated above and it works great. My understanding is that going forward, Tap to Pay will not be available for phones not running Kit Kat (new or old) even if Tap to Pay is working today. The reason is that the new version of Google Wallet no longer uses the temperamental secure element. That is why non-Kit Kat phones, even if working today, will cease to support Tap to Pay.
A Note 3 running Kit Kat will continue to work.

Google Wallet tap-to-pay willl soon only support devices running Android 4.4 KitKat

I hope it doesn't happen but you can read the second paragraph of the link and xda came out with an article saying the same thing

So i tap to pay is suppose to work with kitkat why was the app not installed on my phone. Ok so I installed it from the play store and it had all my info.
I guess my question is what Stores can use it. Back in the day when I tried it it never worked. I got it to work once at Hess gas station. Cvs and mcdonalds were suppose to take it but it never worked

Google Wallet not supporting the Note 3
Since Google Wallet officially is not supporting the Note 3, is there another tap and pay option for the Sprint Note 3? If not, will Google Wallet ecer work for the Note 3. I have heard every excuse from HCE not being available on this official sprint KitKat updated version to these devices being an international version. I have the US Sprint Note 3 version. Any advise would be appreciated on how to implement Tap 2 Pay

It is officially supported. Google Wallet has worked on my Sprint Note 3 for months, version 2.0-R163-v18-RELEASE.

I can not get it to work. I have the same Google Wallet version.
On Google wallets site states the following:
"Here is a list of devices running KitKat that cannot be used for tap and pay:
Samsung Galaxy Note III
Evo 4G LTE
Nexus 7 (2012):
I am not able to post the link, but you can search on google: Eligible devices for use with Google Wallet and it is the first listing.
Have you used it since April 14th when they changed their policy? If so, please advised how you are able to use it. I have used Google wallet on my S3 prior and I would really like to get it working on my Note 3

But as of yet, there hasn't been any mention of a special function, correct?
I went into my local vzw corporate store to look at upgrading to the S4. The manager told me that an LG rep came today and told them that the demos will be available in two weeks.
I'm considering waiting for the G2 but can't get over the non removable battery and no SD.... I might take the plunge and get the S4. Either way I'm curious to test this phone out.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
My S4 is going back tomorrow once I reset it and box it up. I decided to wait for the G2 arrive and GN3 to be announced at IFA so I can get a better understanding. All I need to know is that Verizon isn't going to screw us and not offer a 32GB, heck I would love a 64GB but we know that WON'T happen on Verizon. I also don't expect it until at least Black Friday :|
I don't know why, but I'm excited for this phone. Anyone have experience with LG devices in the past? Have they ever had much support for cyanogenmod? This thing would be sweet with stock android...I think so at least

You should be excited, this phone looks amazing. I've tried my sister in laws OG optimus and it was garbage but that was many moons ago. The fact that they made the last nexus phone gives me high hopes.

I am looking FWD to this phone and I will probably be upgrading my S3 for this phone. It has better specs than anyother phone out there right now. The only other phone I might consider is the new Note 3, but I don't think it is coming to VZW. I think the only downside to this phone is the no SDCard input which makes me want to get the 32gb one if I buy the LG G2.
So I am on the fence. Get the HTC One in a few days time when Verizon finally releases it or wait just a bit longer for this bad boy?
Since Verizon is getting exclusives I would think they would rush this device to the door unlike how they handled the HTC One.
Anyone have an idea when they might start selling this? In a couple months? Late Sep? October?

I'm sure the N3 will be on Verizon, the N2 sold like wildfire for them and Samsung has more carrier leverage than any other manufacturer besides Apple. No way would Sammy let the biggest U.S. network drop their second-best selling phone series.

Most likely October, they said it would take a month to six weeks to send review units to the news outlets, which usually happens a couple weeks before public release.
As far as this vs. the One, it just depends on what you value more. This has a bigger battery, bigger screen, and more powerful processor. The One has better speakers and design. Also you have to consider that development will be more active on the One. It will most likely be more popular with HTC's upcoming marketing push, plus once it's bootloader is unlocked you'll be able to port all the other ROM's already available for it.
I'm not sure how active the community will be for the One on Verizon. People are saying the device could be locked down to hell and with it already being 4 months old maybe developers will just wait till the next big thing. That being the Note 3 or the G2.

Hopefully the lockdown isn't as bad as the s4 but as far development goes with APN editing you can port any of the ROM's already available.

Sure hope so.
I'm ready to upgrade from my razr and the G2 is looking like the #1 contender for my next device. The Note 3 also looks great, but might be a little big for my taste. With the G2 packing a Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330 GPU, large battery, great camera, and 32gb of storage I should be happy with it for awhile. Only thing i'm worried about is android os updates. With this being released on all 4 major U.S. carriers and LG's most anticipated device yet I can't imagine it not getting at least the next few android
updates.
The G2 is launching with 4.2.2 out of the box correct?

[Q] Is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas compatible with your device?

Hiho
GTA:SA is incompatible with the Xperia Z Ultra yet it's listed on their page for supported devices: http://support.rockstargames.com/hc...reas-List-of-Supported-Android-Kindle-Devices
Anyone manage to get it for themselves?
I have the 6802 ( 68333 rom) in the USA and it won't show for me either :/
That's a negative.
Ugh It's so bad that it works perfectly fine when downloaded, yet I cannot buy it.

But alright, let's just say you did it for testing purposes. At least we know that it technically works, but Rockstar has "forgotten" to mark it as compitable in the Play Store.

If you are rooted, you could have bought it.
Available in the Play Store for me, in the USA on my C6806, still on 257 until a root can found for 290 without unlocking the bootloader.
It's weird ....
In Germany I could not install SA on my C6833:
But Sascha from Mobilegeeks had no problem in Taipei:
Source: http://www.mobilegeeks.de/gta-san-a...s-auf-qualcomm-socs-nicht/#comment-1171532844
Not working either
It says its incompatible for my Xperia Z ultra in Australia, C6833, unlocked, Version 4.3.
Hope Rockstar fixes this.
Hmm?
So it appears it works for c6802 users and not c6833.
Yes I did download it for testing purposes but as I am going away for three weeks I need something to play on the flights so I just need to be "testing" it until I come home and can but it.
SHAME on Rockstar that allows the non-LTE version the game.
Oh yeah, I've got root on .257 firmware and I've tried with apps like Market Helper but yet I cannot buy it.
All that happens is attached in this image:
Just emailed rockstar customer service, maybe they will or can give an explanation.
I'm also not able to install this trough play store, C6833 Holland.

It is available for all Sony Xperia Z Ultra's but only in certain regions.
Like I posted earlier, it is available in the USA on my C6806 which is the North American LTE variant.

OK, I stand corrected
In that case, I'm guessing that the port was handled by the US arm of Rockstar where both the 6802 & 6806 are available from Sony US, and in regular use, and through negligence of thought, the 6833 was not added to the list of compatible devices.
Although you shouldn't have to, you could try changing the build.prop to have your device present itself as either the 6802 or 6806 to see if it's available to your in the meantime.

I emailed them the same thing for the "iFruit" app (companion app for GTA V), as it showed as not compatible with my 6833.
Even though I told them that it was a Z ULTRA, several times, they replied about 5 times the the issue was solved, telling me the Z was compatible.
I eventually gave up, downloaded on my Nexus 7 and transferred on the ZU.
They just don't give a sh*t.
If it was a Galaxy Note 3 they'd be running around like bees to find a solution for all the freaking sheep that bought it.
I have a niche device, ok, but please don't treat me as an idiot, because I'm definitely not.

Sometimes the attitude of those companies are shocking. You went trough a lot of hassle to get the app in a legit way, companies should consider that not everybody is like you.

Yeah, and that was a free app... i haven't even pirated it because I don't see the point, when I can download it on another device and transfer it to mine.
The point is that my Nexus 7 is rooted, so that I can access to the app I bought and transfer them, a thing not everyone do (though I admit, a Nexus device is 90% rooted ).
That stated, I will not be playing San Andreas because when I want to play, there are my Vita or 3DS waiting for me, and when I'm home, all the new and old gen consoles (not the X1 yet, but who knows).
I can't see myself playing with San Andreas (a game that I already finished on the PS2) on my ZU for more than 15 minutes before becoming bored and frustrated with the on screen buttons. And no, I won't bring a DualShock with me at work.
BTW, plenty of people to get your $7 from, RockStar, not from me, not this time. :good:
Received an "answer" from rockstar.....
Thank you for contacting Rockstar support. Please take a look at the link below to see if your device is compatible with our app or not. Please note that if your device is listed and you still can not download the app it may be because of the device and the difference in devices.

Hope is there, but whats missing are active devs using the Verizon Note 3. Our problem is that we are a very tiny minority of the Note 3 users, and most devs have already migrated to newer devices.

As for developers, yes, the Note 3 is ancient history. For the daily user, there are still many out there. I'd love to have root, but I don't have much experience on that end. I'd made a few custom roms several years ago, but completely not the same. I've made some inquires, and nobody seems willing to invest in a subset (non-rooted 4.4.4 or 5.0) of a subset (Verizon) of an older device (Note 3). It's sad to say, but we've been left behind.
This is an exploit that affects a wide range of devices.
If someone exploits it on a newer device...that exploit would also work for the Note 3. If not, it would be very close to working.
I am hopeful
---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------
Reading up on this, we are not affected...
The vulnerability affects any Linux Kernel version 3.8 and higher.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if we can install a newer kernel (not happening), we can root with this method. The Note 3 will never be upgraded past kernel 3.4.0, under Lollipop 5.0.
If it is, this exploit will almost assuredly be patched...the only hope is if we can somehow upgrade the kernel to a vulnerable version without a legitimate OEM update.

Because of the locked bootloader, the kernel can not be upgraded via a signed Verizon update.
In other words....Verizon won't update the kernel and you can't.

I'm still over a year out on my contract, and frankly, I love the Note 3. Well, I love the s pen aspect. I could go on Ebay and find a Note 4, but that's about it. The Note 5 fails at what I'd want. More manufactures should have something like the s pen. It sucks only on line of one manufacture uses the higher quality pen input.
If this phone had a unlocked boot loader i would have never upgraded to another phone. Note 3 is still a very fast phone.
Hoping for Root on note 3 (verizon)
So, I still have my Verizon note 3 and use it often. Great phone, still fast and reliable.
A friend just gave me a Tmobile Note 3 asking if I could root it. I decided to start with his and then try mine afterwards.
I succeeded rooting the Tmobile Note 3 a few days ago. Decided, why stop there and gave it a shot on my Verizon Note 3.
Quickly learned the same process would not work.
Just recently came upon this thread after quite a bit of searching the interwebs.
I guess this is what I was looking for and feared finding at the same time.
Here's my takeaway from the research I've done:
-Cant get safestrap installed without root...
-Towelroot stopped working in 2014 and none of the oneclick methods work anymore.
-Can't get any custom recoveries installed either with the bootloader locked.

it's already been rooted,almost the same way used for the s5 verizon lollipop root method,but the team won't share the method yet.hope we get it soon.
A quote from there posted by lilrob29
"Please make your decision: 02[*] WAITING FOR APPEAR YOUR DIVECE N900V[*] ROOT INSTALLING NOW ...IF Working You Should See A Whole Screen Of ########## down the left side of screen[*] If The Process Hangs For More Than 2 Minutes Close Dialog Pull Battery On*"
Notice the reference to n900v.
I know it probably doesn't mean much, just so.e hope. It's fun to beat the dead horse.
I can't post links,but there's a video proof for root Lollipop OF1,search in youtube for :

Android Wear 2.0

It appears that the Zenwatch 2 may be getting Android Wear 2.0 based on this picture:

Unfortunately, no pre-built developer preview images for the ZW2, though the source is apparently available. Has anyone looked at building a preview image on their own?

As with prerelease versions of regular Android the preview source only contains the changes they are required to publish because of their license. Example is the kernel with is GPL2 licensed requiring source code releases.
Android Wear 2.0 is definitely confirmed for the Zenwatch 2 any day now hopefully

I headed rumors that rollout for older watches might start next week.

Even though this may be true we have to keep in mind... That Google MAY be releasing the source to Manufactures on Feb 15. ASUS still needs to sign off on it essentially and hopefully not muck it up to much by making their own changes. I dont hopefully for see that but you never know! I had emailed ASUS myself the other day asking them if they had a scheduled date for the rollout and they responded they were not certain. I as well as all of you am very eager to see wear 2.0 arrive on our ZW2! I think a new breath of life will bring a whole new meaning to wearables!
Also in the email i received from ASUS they commented they will not roll out a factory image that can be flashed to the watch via PC. They do have their security updates posted on asus.com but apparently once they roll it out we will have to wait till it arrives on our watch and not just download it and flash it. Unless this rep was wrong however.
Just figured i would let you all know what ive found so far.
I asked Asus in twitter and got the stupid in the coming weeks standard reply

Yea if someone could grab the OTA.zip prior to installing it and pull it via ADB or fastboot then yes we should be able to use that instead of waiting on a slow rollout.
Guess we will have to see what happens!
Best of luck fellow ZW2 users!

Oh my god dude. I bought this in September waiting for Wear 2.0's release in December or "early q1". Now q2? Smh it's portable OS.
They confirmed early Q2: https://twitter.com/ASUSUSA/status/834868083022041093
I have more faith in Asteroid OS than this buggy Android wear crap!
Wear 2.0 is a pretty significant rewrite. I'd rather they get it right than get it fast.
Also, Wear 1.0, while largely just a remote notification system, still works just fine for what it is. The only major feature in 2.0 that I'm waiting for is truly local apps, so I can kill the stupid stub apps on my phone.

Just know that it is not okay to tease existing user and delay the release for about a year. And giving date release within weeks(months).

You can install local apps on android wear 1 with adb install, too. I did it for some apps already!

So you would rather have them rush it out buggy? Glad you aren't in charge of making those decisions.

Lel. I wouldn't rush anything. Google is the one rushing with the teaser. And postponing. I would rather tease something that is actually a thing without bug rather than a concept. Something what apple done for a long time now.

I would say that Asus is postponing not google. And the reason might be that they want to Asus Zen watch 3 first.

Asus waiting on google to release it.. Google with all it mighty tease things with misleading promotion. Those "few weeks" all over internet is such a bs. We cant really blame asus as even huawei that actually have developer build out still dont get AW2.0....

It looks like we won't even get a Nougat port from the S7 / S7 edge... I am really surprised that everyone returned their Note 7's. It would have been nice if we got Updates and ports but honestly I rather have my Note 7 then anything else. I use my Note 7 since the release and b.t.w it's a original and not a replacement Note and to this day it never acted up! And I don't any other Phone. I've been using it everyday what just is a proof that not every Note 7 was affected by this. I wonder what Samsung has to say in it's press conference today/tomorrow.
I still have mine even though it doesnt work on the network any longer...searching for a work around.
People have no balls thats why there are so very few of us left.

You People in North America have it difficult compared to us in Europe. I think you guys somehow have to activate a Phone for the line you gonna use it on or something not sure. But we just pop our Sim in any device we want to use and that's it. There wasn't even much talk about imei block in Germany. North American markets got carried away with the whole issue and made it something really big. Honestly if a imei block comes in place I'm gonna buy one of those boxes for flashing and unlocking samsung devices and change my imei simple as that. I even flew with mine. The Airline made a announcement about the Note 7 which surprised me honestly. They just told us to turn it off and not charge during the flight that's it. And the press conference earlier about the issues was so weird. Samsung and those 3 companies just repeating themselves. I remember seeing pictures of the battery that said there is not enough room and things get bent inside and touch each other. And btw. I'm not saying all is a lie! I just believe some units are affected and some are simply not. I am taking this issues seriously.

I really want Nougat for Note7 seeing how fast the S7 is now with official Nougat. Jealous!
You know, it surprises me that the developers here would give up on this just because of 100 out of 2.5 million devices. You guys are the techies, you know better that samsung lied.

Don't just make statements. Africa is huge and you're not the only one who got hold of a Note 7.
