I'm about to buy the VZW G3. This might be a dumb question, but can anyone confirm whether or not tap to pay in Google Wallet works on the device?
I have it installed and activated TTP but haven't tried it out yet. Hopefully today I'll have chance to test it.

Yes works fine.
Worked like a charm at Walgreen's.

Worked flawlessly at Whole Foods. The cashier looked at me like i was crazy and said "How did you do that?"
For future reference, any phone/device with stock kk + nfc, Google wallet t&p will work. It can no longer be blocked by a manufacturer or carrier.
tried it out once but didn't work (app and cash register gave an error), probably just a fluke
Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah I wasn't sure because I came from a Galaxy S3 with CM 11 and there was a point where it just stopped working no matter what I threw at it. Worked fine for several months before that too. Wasn't sure if it was due to a restriction on the model, carrier or who knows what. About to try it out myself with the G3 today

Working great on my rooted G3.
Worked fine on my Galaxy S4 until Google removed support for everything that was not on KitKat.
So if at any point you were not on KitKat, support would have gone away.
I forgot the cutoff date for Wallet support for pre-KitKat releases.

What was weird was that I was running the latest version of KitKat for quite some time and TTP never seemed to work. Wallet would show it as available but it never actually worked at terminals. Not sure why it stopped working, but I do know that other people had the same problem with the GS3. Just glad to be done with whatever incompatibility or blocking that was and on to a much better phone :good:
Probably unnecessary for me to post but figured I'd also add in that I just used Tap to Pay at McDonald's and it worked beautifully!!!

Works for me. The cashier did not even talk to me through an entire transaction but when I used tap and pay she said...the was really cool.

Guys Atrix is not listed on CoPilots website as compatible device so I'm wodering if anybody got it to work on Atrix.
Thanks for your time.
works on mine
Mine would not activate on my device. I emailed the creators on Friday the 17th of March, but haven't heard back from them yet. Hopefully I well later today.
thanks, let uf know what they said.
I too had an activation issue on my CoPilot with the Atrix. I installed it when I first got the Atrix but didn't try to use at all till last week, had to email support and have them reset my activation number so I could use it. Took them a whole... 4 hours to respond to my email to get everything working.
Honestly though, aside from loading it up, downloading the maps and setting my preferred settings.. I didn't use it use it... so while I assume it's all good I haven't gone on any longer trips to where I use this over google maps to prove it

Not yet. If they do get it working, it'll be through an international ROM. AT&T has refused to support it so far.
Yeah, I've tried the modaco toolkit version(from the youtube vid I found) and that person got it working, but it is on an Sprint HTC One.
Guess I'll wait and see what happens.
I found a verion that works on sprint, but on my phone (running cognition 0.6 - based upon dev rom) it still says "Device/carrier not supported"
I'm sure its based upon some carrier flag perhaps... not sure why/how at&t can actually keep google from releasing it... especially on a "deveoper" version of the phone...

Sprint is the only us carrier that can use wallet. Speaking from previous phones on their network. If I'm not mistaken the s3 on sprint and nexus all use wallet straight from the market.

Yeah but they(devs here) found a way to use the Sprint version of the phones to bypass the carrier locks. I had GW on my AT&T S3 via wallet installer. Requires root, but it was a simple build.prop edit to get it working.

I wonder if we could just change that line to the sprint version (maybe sprint_us, not sure exactly what it's value is but we should be able to find out), reboot the phone, setup wallet, set the line back, reboot and have working wallet.... anyone want to try it?

I remember that I could get Google Wallet to work on my Galaxy SIII by changing the phone name in the build.prop to HTC RAIDER and it would work.
I can't seem to find the thread that detailed how to do it, but I bet with a rooted ROM you could use the same hack and install via the APK
giving it a shot
There were two lines I think in the build.prop related to at&t... may want to compare build.props against a sprint phone.... let me know how it goes...

I got in touch with the dev who got wallet working on the s3, he is working on it for the s4 and the One as well.
I've tried all the build prop edits, along with Modaco toolkit using Xposed framework and removing carrier/root checks. Still nothing. Leads me to believe we need some files from the Sprint HTC One like the S3 needed to get this working.

I've pulled all the nfc libs/files from the sprint ROM as per the other workarounds that have gotten google wallet working and flashed them, changed build.prop, installed all the modded wallet apks i could find as well as the play store version, but it never gets past the first screen (logcat showed a No Secure Element Error). I've recently, however, been told that the Secure Element is located in the micro sim, which currently i don't have (i'm using a cut mini sim, so ISIS doesn't even work. Can anyone check to see if ISIS will install for them?). Here is the flashable package iwth the nfc libs/files from the Sprint ROM, if anyone would like to try to see if it will utilize the secure element in the sim (it will still require the other workarounds, I'm guessing).
Keep in mind this is from the original ROM, before their update yesterday (or two days ago) that enabled wallet. Once i find a dump from the update, i'll redo the flashable with the most current files.. ah i see there's one posted, downloading now... will have a new flashable shortly.. i'm also gonna check out the new build.prop to see what, if any, changes happened there that might be necessary.
Edit: removed this one. New one will be up in about 15 minutes

Once you get the new package I'll try flashing and see what happens.
I can install Isis from the Play store, but it won't let me initialize cause I'm rooted. Also not sure if my micro sim has a secure element or not(since I am not located in one of the test markets).

I can't even install ISIS..tells me my device is unsupported. So since you can, my guess is you do have a secure element. I was told by a chat representative yesterday (I know, taken with a grain of salt), that all of ATT's micro SD's have a secure element.
10 minutes left on the download, then some comparison, then I'll have a flashable

Already flashed it, I'll update the settings. Going through Android is upgrading right now
Wallet installed, and it is sitting at the setting up wallet screen(where it always does)
So looks like those lib files are a no go.

Is there a way to get Google Wallet working on Verizon Galaxy S4?
Does anyone know of any alternatives that are working?
I would definitely like to know because I am interested in using the paywave style payments

Are you rooted? If your not, then you cannot get Wallet to work. If you are, then see the thread on Wallet mentioned above.
Thanks for the direction, I will be giving this a try today.
UPDATE! Followed instructions, method A and it seems to have installed correctly, have not had chance to go to store to test. but install did pass and i was able to set up cards. Thank you both
Hi... I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 Tuesday night (I have the MDK, not ME7) and it went very smoothly, thanks to the guys who work hard and post their instructions in these forums... flawless, and much appreciated! Last night I followed the "Method A" instructions (w/TWRP recovery) for Google Wallet and it went smoothly.
(Google Wallet's setup on your phone will eventually say: "Setting up Google Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes..." Mine took about 20 minutes, so you just have to wait and try not to be worried that something didn't work right!)
Anyway, it worked like a charm. This morning I tested it at McDonald's and it worked well. At first I held my phone to the pad and nothing happened. So I pulled it away, and then tried once more and it immediately popped up Google Wallet, asked for my pin, told me to tap the phone one more time and BAZINGA!
Good luck everyone, I hope you have as much success as I've had with it. And a huge THANK YOU! to whomever posted the instructions and developed this method.
I'm not sure how long this has been going on but I was on a call to customer service last night trying to get the WatchESPN app running properly on my phone and the "tier 2" technician asked if it would be okay to take control of my phone. I've been in the IT field quite some time and I knew he was asking to remote into my phone (ala pcAnywhere.)
I gave him permission and quickly got a text message saying vdm (Verizon desktop manager?) was trying to connect. I'm rooted with Dubbsy's 4.2.2 GPE ROM and I was nervous about a Verizon rep snooping around my phone (warranty concern.) I'm not sure if it was the ROM or the fact that I was in a bad cell area, but he was never able to connect. We never did get the app to run properly either.
Just giving people a heads up about Verizon's (new???) capability; I've never had anyone ask me in over three years with the company. Careful rooted users, if they see you've rooted they may make a notation (with or without telling you) in your account and when you bring your phone in for service--it may get declined.
Pretty scary stuff. At least they can't get in unattended (we hope?)

Aetherpal teardown
Aetherpal can/does check for root access. There's two good things about this service. First, you can simply refuse the assistance from the customer support. Second, there's a terms of service you have to accept even if you gave permission for them to remote desktop. You can reject the ToS. I haven't had a TW ROM installed on my phone for a long time, so maybe someone else can post a screen of which .apk(s) they can freeze in TiBu.

If you go to the about screen it still says that tap and pay is "not available" for us. So I'm guessing we still can't use it for that. I wonder with this new version if it might be easier to get it to work though?

We are able to get the SE Sim Cards from Verizon. If that's the only thing stopping it from working, then that's a piece of cake. If and only if
Just confirmed that if you change your build.prop to a Tap and Pay supported phone like the Galaxy Nexus, it will then proceed to look for a Secure Element and wallet will not load. If you keep your stock build prob for your device it knows that it has no secure element and will just report back that Tap and Pay is not available. Pulled a log cat to confirm this. It returns that no SMX is available and will force close wallet after a certain amount of time.
I'm wondering if Google might of added the ability to look for Secure Elements on sim cards with this updated. Can anyone confirm that might have an NFC SE Sim card?
Bottom line is.... If we have no SE embedded on our phones, then NFC payments with Wallet are not a possibility.

I wonder if all it needs now to get SMX access is the nfc_access.xml file in /system/etc that contains the Google Wallet key, instead of just a Isis key. AFAIK, you can have both keys listed in the nfc_access.xml file. But if you don't have a NFC sim card, I guess you can't verify ...
If you feel like changing your build.prop again, maybe you could experiment with the nfc_access.xml file?

Those methods do not work. They have been tried in the past. You still need a secure element to have Tap n Pay function. The DNA lacks this element, but the GS4 has it.

I was just looking at their thread for the new version and it doesn't even seem like you need to have xposed framework at all. Looks like all the flashable zip does is intall the Wallet.apk so you don't have to change your build.prop to get it from the market. Although it looks like people are having a tough time using the new version compared to the old version.

It's funny I installed the old wallet then a couple days later the new one came out and I wasn't going to switch it all over again. I'm running the hyperdrive rom and some people are hit and miss with tap to pay to work. I figured I would wait till someone gets it all hashed out and working flawlessly. There aren't very many pay pass places in Eugene Or. The only place I know of is toys R us.
