[Q] Standard Market

So i did a search, and didn't quite find what was looking for.
My G2 (T-Mobile USA) market, is a T-Mobile modified version. Even after a complete format/Wipe and install of CM7.
My market has a "T-Mobile" button on the front page, instead of a "My Apps" button. Takes me to T-Mobile recommended apps. (bottom of the green header, where you can select Apps, Games, My Apps (or in my case, T-Mobile).
I was wondering how i can get it back to the standard Market, where it is My Apps. I don't need T-mobiles recommendations for apps. =)
(and yeah i know i can just hit Menu>My Apps, but its just annoying. I hate bloatware, and carrier modifications. The reason i use CM7 is for stock, and the only thing NOT stock about my phone now, is this little mod. Its not a big thing, just a little annoying is all.

I'm probably wrong, but I think it reads your carrier, not the phone. No matter what ROM I flash (DZ, G2, Sense, CM7, whatever), I get the Tmo button on the market. Irritating, but at least the "My Apps" is available under the Menu button on Market.

Pop out your sim? Other than that your sim tells your phone what carrier market to display.

I had thought of that, however, i have 3 phones (4 actually, ones not here tho); My T-Mobile G2, a Nexus One, and a My Touch 3G 3.5mm; all on T-Mobile, all with T-Mobile sim cards, yet my G2 is the ONLY phone that shows the T-Mobile Recommendations. The other two phones show the My Downloads.
This leads me to believe its NOT tied to the sim card. In fact, this is the sim card i took out of my Nexus One when i upgraded. and when this SAME sim card was in my Nexus One, i had a My downloads.
Hmm any other ideas? Again tho its not a HUGE deal, just would be nice if i could straighten this last little bit of carrier influence, out of my phone. =)
Thanks in advance.

Would market enabler solve this problem?
Ok just downloaded market enabler and set it t-mobile usa and I get the the tmobile reccomended apps. If I set verizon it just goes back to giving you the my apps option.

I'm 99% sure I'm S-Off. i rooted fairly late, so i think I rooted using the most current methods.
Are you suggesting to physically change my sim card to another carrier, or is there a way to change it software wise? I think you mean to change it to like AT&T or something right? Don't have the means to do that. =(

What always worked for me was changing the density in the build prop...I don't know why it works it just does

Lol. It is not a modified market. It's just reading your sim card. To remove the tmobile tab, either take out your sim, or download market enabler and change your provider.

Wow lol. I know im picky about ads, but this is uber picky hahaha.
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7

Did you read post 5?
If its reading my sim card, then why with the same sim card in my Nexus One, i didn't have this issue? And why does my wifes sim card not cause this issue? Hers is a Tmobile sim card also?

Lol, i can only agree with you. <hides head in shame>

Please post T-Mobile My Account .apk

I have AT&T but also occasionally use my T-Mobile prepaid $30 unlimited SIM. I decided to pop my T-Mo SIM in my GNEX today and for some reason the market is saying the "My Account" app is incompatible with all of my devices. (??)
Thanks.

It doesn't work on ICS, so they removed it from the market for ICS devices.
Even if you sideload it it'll only work about 5% of the time.

Thanks. What are the keypad codes to check minutes, data, bill, etc. on T-Mobile?

Minutes - #646#
Bill - #225#
SMS - #674#
Here's a full list I don't see data.

I just made a bookmark for the MyT-Mobile page.

Yeah I was able to d/l it officially from the Market when I first got my Galaxy Nexus a while back, but nothing on it works so it's useless.
http://m.t-mobile.com works good.

[Q] Location Service when Lost

What is the best app to track your phone after it has been stolen or lost?
I was using Wavesecure a couple of months ago, but stopped because my desire isn't worth much now.
But for my brand new One X I think it is a good addon. .
Thanks!

I use PhoneLocatorPro and it's been excellent. Paid app but worth it. Plenty on the market read the reviews for each one.

A very good one, from the makers of Lookout Mobile Security (which also has tracking ability) is called Plan B.
If your phone is lost or stolen, quickly get to a computer and install Plan B via the marketplace website. It'll install on the phone, turn all radios on and email you location updates every minute for 5 minutes. Works very well.

So this is basicly a backup plan? I have been using Lookout aswell, but it isn't good anymore?

Dont forget the Avast one , free, and if you have root, it survives to hard reset and i believe even to custom roms flashing.
you may locate, lock, erase, make a siren shouting, it sends the last sms/call history
of any non approuved sim card inserted so on

I use Anti Theft Pro

Gots lots of options even in free version (if u want to enable commands through mail you have to get the pro version though)

[Q] Adding Citi Card to Google Wallet

Has anyone been able to add their Citi MasterCard to Google Wallet lately? I've been trying since June 13th and it just times out. The card does get added to the Google online site. but not on the phone. I'm on the stock Sprint ROM and not rooted. The Google Prepaid card adds fine.

I originally added but then re-installed a rom and when I went to go re-add it I have been getting the same thing. They said its some sort of "out of sync" issue and I have a ticket open but never heard back.

I'd also had my citi card on the phone, but wiped Wallet to update to a newer version of Wallet. Now it just keeps timing out.
I called Citi and they cancelled the association with my phone, but it still just keeps timing out.
The Citi guy said there was a known issue with HTC EVO 4G LTE phones, but that there shouldn't be with mine.
Oh well, guess it's back to plastic until they sort it out.

Same here... Mine gets stuck in adding card. I have opened tickets. It seems to be a Wallet problem. Citi bank reset my account but still does not work. At least the prepaid works.

Ditto. I can add a prepaid card but when I try to add my Citi credit card it hangs every time (after several minutes) with the message "Error Adding Card". Citi says they have resolved Wallet problem with most phones, including the gnex, but they obviously don't know we're rooted. Many ROMs spoof different identification codes for various reasons, which could play a role. For example, the ROM I use shows device as "GT-I9300" and "toro" in the build prop. What do your build props show for device?

I was just now able to add my Citi card to the Wallet app on my HTC One X, so whatever server side issues they were having appear resolved , at least for the time being.

You rooted?
I just talked to Wallet support and they said being rooted is the likely reason we can't add a card. Here's the follow-up email Google sent:
"We strongly discourage gaining system-level "root" access to your phone if
you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with
unauthorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be
limited.
If you have other questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy
to help. Have a nice day!"

Yes, I am rooted, and using a custom rom.
I had the citi card on this phone with an older version of MoDaCo wallet hack, but lost it when I upgraded to last software hack. It took three days trying, but finally got it to take.
I also have Wallet on my GNex, but just with the prepaid. I don't recall which hack I got it on there with.
You might want to try the MoDaCo hack , it disables three different checks the app makes for root, device and carrier.

I am still unable to re-add my citicard. Added and worked fine in May under yakjuxw 4.0.2. But then flashed takju 4.0.4 and I haven't been able to add it back again since. Never been rooted. I had no idea that flashing the US version of software (or any rom) could blow out wallet until after it wouldn't work, I searched and found that the secure element may be blown. Called Citibank twice, sent google feedback twice, posted here in another thread. No help or feedback from anyone so far. I can't even tell if its a Citibank issue, google issue, or an issue caused on my phone because I flashed a new ROM without doing anything to google wallet first. It says verifying card, seems to go on to the next step but then gets stuck at adding card and says unable to add card, call Citibank. I'm not willing to try the prepaid card, for fear of losing any money I put on it. Its been about a month now like this, so I've pretty much lost all my initial trust in google wallet. Nice idea, but completely worthless.

Tried the MoDaCo hacked Wallet, no luck. I'm thinking all the recent "server issues" are related to Google tightening things up. If anyone really wants to use Wallet, might be best to return their phone to stock. Otherwise, just carry your credit card, it's not very heavy!

LOL to just carry your card line.
There's so few places that I actually go to that have paypass that the Citi card on the pine is really just a novelty. Kind of a geek pleasure. Anyone with these high end phones that reads these forums is probably a cutting edge tech kind of person. We want this stuff to work just for fun.
If the server business is google cracking down, then why did it work for me this morning? I'm on same ROM, same root as when it wouldn't work.
I was going to switch roms today, but now I'm afraid it will break Wallet again.
I don't think Google wants to block anyone. They want people to use Wallet. The only blocks they put in place are to appease the telcos or the bank.

You're right on with the cutting edge thing. I used to love to amaze sales clerks by paying with my phone. It was always the first time they ever saw that done.
I'm a bit of a crackflasher but until recently I was always able to reset wallet and then add my Citi credit card, probably did it 10 times. It stopped working with new ROMs at the same time Google was having issues with its server, which is why I'm thinking something's changed on Google's end when dealing with rooted phones and custom ROMs.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm wondering whether the ID info in the build.prop of custom ROMs is an issue. I know the ROM I'm using now identifies my Gnex as GT-I9300. I did try editing the build.prop to stock ID, and also tried the MoDaCo hack which supposedly bypasses such ID checks, to no avail.
Don't think I'm going to waste much more time on Wallet, but I'll keep an eye on this thread in hopes of a fix or hack.

There's certainly several things going on behind the scenes.
Don't forget that if your card is associated with Wallet already, trying to add it will fail. Try too many times and you get locked out for a day.
If a new ROM changes whatever that association indicator is, that cooks be the cause of the failure. Never hurts to call Citi and ask them to reset on their end.
I agree about retail clerks always never having seen pay with a phone before. I always get that "what the heck?" look. One clerk acted like I was pulling some kind of scam.

i posted about this issue a couple of months ago...not many people responded to that thread...i added my citi card successfully then reset the app to flash some stuff then when i tried to re-add it, it would give me an error message...i called citi a couple of times and they said they were going to reset it on their end
i tried it again a few weeks later and ever since then it just hangs on the adding card part...it doesnt error out...just hangs...i never got to try it at a store

Im rooted but just. My build is IMM76D.L700FD02. As for rooting what I understood was basically that was google pulling a CYA regarding the security issues with rooting, not that they were blocking the app.
distortedloop, do you get the notification about rooted devices not being supported when opening wallet?

No, I don't get that warning, but I'm using MoDaCo's hacked Wallet app which disables the root, carrier, and device build checks.

Problem with wallet only with citi card?
It seems based on this thread, it really is only a problem with using the citi card with wallet.
I am using a rooted Nexus with custom rom and wallet works for me.
(Note: I have not changed roms since it has been working.)

Correct. Problem is adding Citi Card only. Wallet works fine. Prepaid cards add fine. Citi card fails to add after several minutes communicating with the server, returning the message "Error adding card". Initial verification of Citi account information is successful, the failure comes during "adding card to Google Wallet".

Plus, the problem is just adding the Citi card to Wallet on the phone.
For me, the first attempt to put my Citi card on the phone failed, but the Citi card was added to my Google account online (also confusingly called Wallet now) and was available for selection in the Play Store.

OK here is what they DONT TELL YOU!!
I called bell to ask if i have an NFC SIM. NO.
NO CANADIAN BELL USER HAS BEEN GIVEN AN NFC SIM WITH THEIR PHONE. YOU MUST GO TO BELL STORE TO GET A FREE SIM UPGRADE.
ALSO. the guy at bell said they have a notice from RBC telling users to go to:
http://www.rbcroyalbank.com/mobile/wallet/nfc-update/
and fill out the form, and an RBC agent will contact you and arrange a push update to your NFC SIM to enable RBC wallet to work.
I am running a SGS4 from bell running a 4.4.2 google edition rom (by danvdh), with build.prop edited back to my original model number from bell.
I just got back from the bell store and have my NFC sim installed. I have the new RBC app installed.
The new card option on first page of RBC app (seen in screenshots from RBC site) is not visible on my device.
I have filled out the form and am waiting for a call back, i imagine this push update will enable the missing button in RBC app.

ONE WEIRD THING...
since i installed my NFC SIM, my phone is telling me i have a voicemail that does not exist. wont go away.

Great. I have RBC and would love this feature but I have a Nexus 5 and am on Telus. I tried the market changer and also the app to change the model of the phone but it didn't work. I would love someone to hack this thing. Why do they restrict it to a specific device and a specific network?

Any updates on this? I have the NFC sim, RBC emailed me and said everything has been activated but the wallet menu doesn't appear in the app. I'm on a rooted GS4 with a custom 4.4 rom installed with bell. The only problem I can think of is my rom. After a month, can you update us on how things are going with this app?

really? just 2 posts up? working on rooted modded STOCK rom, could not get running on custom.

i know this is an old thread, seems like rbc took away the requirement to push an update to the sim, can the build prop be modded for a work around? thnaks

Just hearing of this, shame I'm on Telus and about to close my RBC account.
