I am running stock 4.2 on rogers in Canada. I have the latest wallet app with a prepaid card. I have done all the obvious things to get it working such as enable nfc, I am rooted, market enabler, open the apk, go to the prepaid card screen, go to pay and nothing happens. I have used all parts of the phone tapping. I was on a rom at one point and tried it and got it to say payment sending but with no success. Anyone have any ideas? I have searched the forum and there are other topics but nothing that solves my problem. Thx in advance.

First question, are you using an extended battery or any battery other than stock that might not have the NFC stuff?
Second question, are you able to get your hands on another Gnex/some NFC tags? I would try testing it with one of those to see if its just google wallet acting up, assuming you're using an appropriate battery.
My phone is stock. No mods of any kind. Software or hardware. And no unless I go into a store maybe and use theirs.

Might not be a bad idea, if you've got the time.

I have been reading the last 3 days forums all over the internet and called a couple of unlock phone guru's but haven't found any form to unlock my wife's xperia play. she passed away a week ago. I need to contact some of her friends and let them know about this.
please if you know a way to unlock it without losing the contacts info it would mean the world to me.
thanks.
Typically devices to access that information on a locked phone are very expensive. I don't think there is an easy way to get past the pass lock. If you know her gmail username and password you could input the wrong code until it gives you the option to unlock via the Google account.

Why does a part of me seem a bit, I dunno, suspicious about this?
Either way, I haven't got a clue...I'd go with what the guy above me said

When you set a lock.code you have to set a seperate question and answer such as whats your mothers maiden name/ favourite place
If she was your wife you should know this, try doing that
The funniest thing is there was a guy a while back who was asking almost the same question, but it was his son who had been given the phone and had "messed up" the code and now they couldn't get into it.
If you ARE for real, then take the phone to ur networks shop, u will have proof that she was ur wife, and they will be able to help u, I would have thought this would be the first thing u thought of, NOT making an account on XDA and asking here =/
Whats that I can smell??
(Full apology will be given IF this is actually true!)
I don't think this is fake. I mean, you would have to be a real low life to use a dead wife as a fake excuse.
My sincerely condolences for your loss, friend.

Funny. Contact your phone company and they give you all that info. This is fake, and the moron should be banned for posting bs like this.
I don't even have the option to use carrier billing. It asks for a credit card but that's all. I checked online and my phone isn't listed in my account. And there is no way to add a phone. It's odd because about a week ago, my phone and one credit card was listed and now they are gone and it doesn't even give the carrier billing option when purchasing apps. Any recommendations?
I don't have it either. I'm on the latest AOKP, FYI.

At least I am not alone. Lol. Maybe when and if we ever get the JB update, that will take care of it.
Check with customer support
Visit AT&T booth for quick customer assistance.
You should run stock TW ROM when you do that.
lol Im stock not even rooted and I dont have that option either.. before on my one x it was there. maybe it will pop up at a random time. lol
I'm completely stock as well. I didn't have this issue with the one x either. Im gonna run by the att store on my way home and see what they say.
Up until a week or two ago I didn't have the option either, but then randomly it became an option... didn't do anything. Kinda weird, perhaps att just started recognizing the i747 as a compatible device or something

Anyone Yet?
I just switched from Sprint to ATT and was able to bill to carrier with no problem on sprint...Now that I have att I don't even have that option which sux...Just wondering if anyone figured out if it was even an option or they have it on theirs??
When I was on at&t, after a few days, it started working by itself. Now that I am on Verizon, it simply doesn't work at all after two weeks. I don't even have the option. And Google hasn't responded to my emails.

I noticed they say you can't be on wireless to pay with carrier.
"You must be using your carrier’s network (3G/4G), not wireless."
Tried this, still no option. Tried deleting cache, no good. Deleting data & cache, no good. Tried uninstalling play store updates & it automatically reinstalled updates to version 3.8.17, still no option to pay by carrier.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I wonder if that would work for Verizon or if I need to call Verizon and have them provision something. I have been with at for the past 10 years and just switched to Verizon a couple weeks ago so I don't know how Verizon handles this kind of thing.

I have the option for carrier billing. I have it checked but it still bills my cc. oh well, usually apps are less than 5 bucks.... If I can't pay that with my cc/debit then I don't need to be buying apps anyway. Kinda makes me think about buying a 25 cent lollipop with a credit card.
My situation with carrier billing is a bit different. I wanted to take advantage of the 25 cent app sale, so I selected the carrier billing option. The Play store tried to process the purchase, but returned a communication error message. This happened several times over the course of 3-4 days. I felt extremely silly charging 25 cents to my credit card, but at least I was able to do that.

So I purchased my Ion Lt28i from Wind the other day, and when I looked into the phone I found it to be "not unlockable" for the bootloader. Sonys site says otherwise.....
Any suggestions? It is the I version, not sure what i'm missing here....
Thanks in advance!
Just dial *#*#7378423#*#*, go to service info and then open configuration, if it says something about bootloader unlocking: yes then you can do it, if it says no then is not possible.
so.....maybe you misread my post, but i have already done that. Sonys site is showing that my model CAN in fact get a key, but you can't implement it without being able to get into fastboot....
Sony says it can, phone says it can't. Any other suggestions guys?
That's because its carrier locked. Carriers don't allow you to get into fastboot, and the ones Sony talks about are the sim free ones. So only stock for you, I'm afraid.

Title
The variants of the phones Lt28i, Lt28h, Lt28at... are not just in the software. The Lt28i was specifically created by Sony for the use of network operators (I presume the boot loader exists on a physically separate partition, which would make sense since bios of motherboards are constructed in the same way).
If the boot loader was unlocked and Rogers fully simlocked phone so that no cellunlocker could help you, you could still wipe the phone and undo all the locking (afterwards terminate Roger's contract and run away with the 400 dollar phone). I think that even the network operators do not have access to the Lt28i bootloader.
However, with the Lt28i:
You can unlock the network, even if hardlocked.
You can flash and root Lt28h firmware on to it.
but you can never rape that sweet, sweet virgin boot loader goodness ...it will remain unmolested through the life and death of the phone.
(unless you get someone like a Sony developer to help you out)

Most of the time it is because the os is not supported on that app ... Like when ICS first came out you have some apps that won't work on it .... There is usually nothing that can't be fixed you didn't have to sell it just find out what wasnt right and fix it ..

I haven't experienced a single unwarranted app crash. The few times I did have a crash it was do to user error or restoring app data. Did you make sure that you wiped everything between roms? Any left over data can cause all sorts of issues down the line.

Rooting the Note 2 doesn't take away any functionality, if anything it adds extra functionality that wasn't there by default.
For example: Do you happen to use the multi-window capability that the device has? If you do, wouldn't it be even better if you could use any app you wanted and not just the predetermined choices? Most custom roms offer that to root users.
What apps are useless with root? How is the Spen useless?
The only time that my Spen has ever been useless is when I'm not using it. Even aosp roms that don't natively support it have apps that will bring most of, if not all of, it's practical applications back. And aosp is only an option and not a requirement to being rooted.
I apologize if this seems overly harsh or blunt but for someone who blatantly states "I have never rooted any of my device [e]ven my gn 2" I would refrain from giving out false information, and if you truly wish to help out someone with a question pertaining to things that you don't understand (as of yet) that you would research it to give your response a more meaningful bit of advice.

They run on different network types, they have different software and some different hardware and entirely different model numbers. You want the gt-n7100/n7105 forums this is the sph-l900. If you use anything from this forum you run a real good risk of bricking your phone. Your total lack of knowledge between the device differences is one reason you definitely shouldn't be rooting your phone and most likely the reason you broke the last device you tried to root.

I never root by reading on xda I just Google for the roms or pda files for my model........ By the way what different hardware u got in ur model.

We have CDMA radios, LTE radios, no wireless charging, partitions are formatted differently for the different partitions required by the network differences and other country specific differences. The differences aren't huge but their enough to make them 2 entirely different devices that can't share software/firmware without modification if it can share them at all, some things arent interchangeable no matter how much you modify them, like modems.

You could unlock your device if its not already (not sure if international devices are tied to a specific carrier) and use any of our GSM networks like at&t or t-mobile or the numerous prepaid variants of the 2. That's the one nice thing about unlocked GSM devices all you have to do to change networks is switch out the SIM card.

Most likely, im not even sure foreign carriers lock their devices like they do here in the US. If you bought your phone full price then its more than likely unlocked, the more I think about it I'm almost positive most foreign carriers don't provide locked phones outside of a few UK and French carriers that sell carrier branded hardware.

I suggest you unroot your device. You seem you didnt get any advantage from rooting other than wasting your own time.
OP,
You have an international version so you're already unlocked. Is there any app that you need super user access for? Do you care to modify your phone, or are you happy with it the way it is? If you like the phone the way it is, leave it unrooted. You'll get software updates faster, won't void your warranty, and won't mess with something you may have no need for.
