Anyone know if Google Wallet will be able to be ported over to the Galaxy Nexus? I'm going to miss being able to use my phone to pay for things, as I've grown somewhat accustomed to being able to do it. lol I love going to Dairy Queen, or Best Buy, or the drug store and just tapping my phone. I'd love to be able to do it on the Galaxy Nexus.

Should not need to be ported, GNex has NFC
NFC is just a chip. You still need the software to use it. For example, I used Google Wallet on my Nexus S (which has a NFC chip). Without software to use the NFC chip with, it's useless. In other words, you have to have some sort of payment software on the phone in order to make use of the NFC as a form of payment.

NFC is a chip. Google Wallet is an app that lets you use NFC for payments.
For example, only the Sprint Nexus S 4G officially has google wallet. The T-mo Nexus S doesn't. Neither do the SGSII varieties with NFC.
OP, I'd assume that once they have it working for ICS they'll make it happen with an update, but I'm not sure whats holding them from just launching with it.... then again they still haven't given it to the T-mo Nexus S lol so idk what's going on.
I'm really looking forward to Google Wallet too.
While there has been no official announcement, I don't ever think the Verizon version will ever see Google Wallet. Verizon has teamed up with T-Mobile and AT&T to put together Isis, a competitor to Google Wallet. Thats why we only see Google Wallet or Sprint.

Well I have a T-mobile Nexus S that I use Google wallet on. Of course it isn't officially supported, but they ported it over from the Sprint Nexus S. I was just holding out hope that it might be possible to bring it to the Galaxy Nexus. lol of course this is just a hope. I'm not sure what libs or framework is needed for it to work.

Yeah you would think that "officially" you'd be able to do it. Heck all Google would have to do is just put the app in the market to be downloaded and they wouldn't have to deal with the carriers at all (I think lol). But hey, gotta love the guys here at XDA, that got us around all that and brought it to the tmobile nexus. I'm just hoping it can be done on the Galaxy Nexus too.
Consider yourselves lucky that you can even use a hacked version on your phones.
What about us poor saps in Australia who can install the app and use it, but can't add any funds to it. I really don't understand why Google choose to operate like this.

Perhaps there are legal issues with it. I have no idea. I just wish a standard would be established already so that we can use it in our day to day. I love using my phone to pay for things! lol
I loved wallet on my tmobile nexus
It worked flawlessly
I was hoping for a gs2 port but that never took place.
Why wouldnt the flagship device for google have wallet pre installed ?

Is wallet available outside the US? If not, then it may not be on the gsm version since it's not being sold in the states.

It's a US-only service, yes. It's just an app so nothing is stopping them from supporting it on the GSM/HSPA version.
I thought the Google Wallet app just makes sure the credit card data travels a save way from the NFC sender to NFC receiver. I don't see how it'd be US-centric, when there's no mobile data involved in the transaction, since Google said that it doesn't require a data connection.
Also, I've read people in Germany using their German T-Mobile Nexus S to pay at the very few Paypass terminals in that country.

I meant it as in "the service is currently available in the US only". As far as I know Google has only officially launched the service in the US as of yet. That could just have been a marketing thing though. I'm not sure if it works fine if a seller outside the US just plugs in a comatible NFC-enabled terminal.
Actually, the relevant standard is called Paypass and used outside of the US. In Europe, there's various sort of cards being distributed by Visa, Mastercard and sorts. But apparently there's a RFID version of Paypass, and a superset that does NFC. The current distributed cards are RFID. But there appear to be NFC capable terminals in at least Germany.
From what I could gather, Google Wallet does Paypass NFC. It seems mostly a matter of getting it to install and run on a phone that's not the Spring Nexus S.

Interesting. So it's nothing specific needed on the merchant's side other than an NFC-compatible paypass terminal? How does the service work software wise? They could very well have limits on the cards you can use it with.

This is the same thing that I was thinking. This is supposed to be the flagship device...you'd think it would already have Wallet on it...or at least have it available.
Here's a 17-yo Brit's contribution to this (and his first ever to the Android communication - received my first Android phone 3 days ago!):
Google Wallet can be "enticed" to run on the Galaxy Nexus. I'm still waiting for an attempt to test it, so we may find out if it works on Monday.
I used the "googlewalletfix_1.1R38v5_ICS_aok.zip" file (no credit to me - found it elsewhere on these forums) - I did the following (with MoDaCo custom ROM):
Flashed MoDaCo, flashed googlewalletfix, reboot to "proper"
Found Google Wallet wasn't installed
Open root terminal, cd to /mnt/sdcard/gw/
mount -o remount,rw /data/system
cp system/app/NfcGoogle.apk /system/app/NfcGoogle.apk # this is probably a terrible, terrible thing to do to your phone. Turn NFC off first and cross your fingers!
cp system/app/Wallet.apk /system/app/Wallet.apk
I saw some logcat entries telling me it was doing something with my newly positioned apk and lo-and-behold, Wallet was installed and would allow me to get a prepaid Google card!
I attached some pretty pictures taken using the Dalvik Debug Monitor.

Great work! Anyone willing to try this to see if it works? I'd try it but I don't have my Galaxy Nexus yet (thanks to Handtec....). Great to see progress being made so quickly.
So if I buy a Nexus (off contract) and activate it on my VZW account, where will OTA updates come from? Direct from Google, yes?
It doesn't matter if you buy it off contract or contract. Verizon Galaxy Nexuses (CDMA/LTE) will come from Google directly but Verizon has to approve of the update before Google pushes it out.
Whereas, the GSM Galaxy Nexus (yakju models.. if its not yakju you can convert, search forum on how to do that) gets update from Google without approval from any other parties.
Yes. They don't come OTA from the carrier as most people believe. They come from Google. I know this because when I went to the Verizon store on launch day to get my Nexus, the reps let me play with my phone for 15 mins or so while they tended to another customer. They gave it to me new in the box with no SIM card and connected it to WiFi for me. After about 5-10 mins of me playing with it and setting it up over WiFi, the phone pulled the new 4.0.2 update and I installed it. It did this without being activated on the carrier, no SIM card installed and it was connected to a commercial ISP (not a Verizon MiFi AP) via WiFi.
Unless Verizon has some weird setup to push updated over the internet instead of the carrier, I'm pretty confident that the updates come from Google's servers and not Verizon. But yes, Verizon will have to approve the update before it gets pushed to their Nexus devices.

No you can't. Yakju is the GSM build.
The Verizon CDMA build is Mysid.

Does anyone know for sure if we can use Google Wallet with our One X and if not why not? I'm looking for a solid answer, not speculation if anyone knows for sure. Thanks a lot in advance!
It all depends on your carrier. Even if your unlocked. I'm using an international version on US's AT&T. I can download google wallet, but as soon as I open it tells me my country/carrier is not supported at this time.

No. You can download it from the Market but when you open it you get "Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device/carrier." I'm hoping it's not the former because it's picking the phone up as being from the UK. If it's the latter I'm hoping that when AT&T launches the One X it'll be Google Wallet certified. That may not benefit us though because the AT&T phone will have a different model number. Bottom line, don't buy the international One X if Google Wallet is one of your hot buttons.
Unlikely AT&T will ever allow this as I believe all US carriers are collaborating on using an alternative to Google Wallet. The only thing I can think of is to edit build.prop to spoof a UK carrier.

Well I'm on AT&T as well and when I flashed the google wallet .apk on my Galaxy Nexus I had no problems using it. It wasn't a download from the market, it was a cwm flashable zip and I was able to use it just fine on AT&T. Could this not be done with our One X just the same?
if not, then everyone should get back $50+ on their phones. even descriptions on store sites mention NFC and Google Wallet.

Neither HTC or Google can do anything if AT&T doesn't add the device to their supported list. The GN and NS are designed to be used on multiple carriers while AT&T has their own version of the One X(L). You can root your phone to get Google Wallet working but I advice against it as it's way too easy for your financial info to be hacked.

I'm not too sure about that. The application only seems to work on the Nexus devices; even a rooted and unlocked One X with Market Enabler will receive the same error about device compatibility. Sounds to me like Google will have to update Wallet before One X owners can use it.
I read the other day that google has suspend Google Wallet for now as it's so easy to hack in to anyone's account...

That is an old article. Wallet has received a few updates since then and all is working fine again. Wallet itself was never suspended either. The ability to add new Google prepaid cards was turned off for a short time, and the ability to re-add existing Google prepaid cards that had been removed was disabled for a few weeks after that.
If you were an existing wallet user prior to all the hype you were completely unaffected during that entire time so long as you did not remove your existing prepaid card from with the app itself or wipe/reset your device etc.

Well, that sucks. They could be supporting the Nexi under pressure/cajoling from Citibank/MasterCard/Google. Do any of the phones they sell directly have NFC and support Google Wallet? Being optimistic the One X launch was pushed up and maybe their just not ready yet. There's still no telling if the international version will work because it has a different network ID. Sigh.
if there is some hacked version that works, post it here because i will use it. i don't care if it's not secure. i don't keep money in my bank account for long and i have nothing to hide. ;p

FWIW, I think it uses Market to determine carrier and I'm guessing build.prop possibly for device. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work especially since AT&T is officially supports so it's just the device you have to get over.
It worked on my Galaxy nexus with market enabler. It doesn't with my one X...
Is there any way to fool the phone in to thinking it's a galaxy nexus?

it's my guess that after the security flap, google has really beefed up the barriers for wallet. i've read that google is working on whatever has to be done to jump through the hoops in the eu to enable wallet, so if that happens things might change. or maybe if an agreement is reached with at&t, for example, to enable wallet on its one x's that would change accessibility. otherwise everything i've read says no joy on this right now.

The point was trying to change phone id to galaxy nexus, if it's possible.
Changing carrier ID on the galaxy nexus is confirmed to work, also outside of the states.
Got the email from google telling me that they have switched to Android pay and the link to download it via the play store. I get the message that my device is not compatible with it when I get to the play store. Pretty sure I am not the only one who is frustrated with this. Hoped it will get baked in when google bought softcard (ISIS). Tried side loading the apk, but i just get the message that it is unavailable when i try to open the app.:crying::crying::crying:
I actually called Google about it, asking specifically if it would work, even giving "Ross" the heads up that wallet tap to pay never did. He assured me it would, of course it doesn't, I replied to him letting him know. Will be interesting to see what he comes back with.

It must be a T-Mobile thing. Sprint Note 3 has it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/android-pay-error-rooted-devices-t3204203
Were you rooted when you tried to install? For the initial install you must be unrooted. But showing incompatible on Play sounds like a carrier issue to me.
Did anyone ever get NFC working on their T-Mobile Note 3? I never could. Which sucks balls because I really want to do away with carrying so many pieces of plastic.

It might be carrier related. Tmobile, AT&T and Verizon were the backers for Softcard in the beginning. You had to have Softcard compatible sim cards to use the payment features of softcard. I dont have the same sim card anymore, not sure if that will make a difference.
Rooted or not, you dont have access to the app on the app store.
Any luck on this issue.?
I did call Google and they told me that since my phone was used with softcard it cannot be used with Apple Pay.
I thought Android Pay would supersede Softcard since Google bought the thing... I think someone should call T-Mobile as well and ask them how else can we make NFC payments with everything not functional.
Tmobil official word
I called T mobile and tech support said Note 3 ( and several others) are NOT compatible.
Tech is updating all the customer support cheet sheets so no one else has to go through this with them.
Somehow I just knew this Pay app fiasco (ISIS, etc) would end badly for us.. If the greedy corporate SOB's would have just gone with Google in the first place.. I hope they learned something
Is a class action in the cards for NOTE 3 owners ?? Any Lawyers out there ?
I installed Android Pay through the APK mirror APK, it installed perfectly with no errors and detected my NFC. I'm using the AT&T Note 3 (4.4.4 KitKat) ( N900a). I just need some place to test it now.
Keep us posted. Glad to see note 3 still kicking it.
Installed it on my note 3 tmobile bit I use cricket with it. Can't test it or anything as the rom I have from ages ago nfc won't turn on

Android pay refuses to work if it detects that a device has been rooted. I switched back to the official Android 5.0 lollipop release for my Note 3 and Android pay works with no issues. I have added cards and successfully completed several purchases.
I did replace my battery last year, my current battery is an official Samsung battery manufactured in November 2015. Since some of the NFC hardware is in the battery this may have have helped my success with Android pay on my Galaxy Note 3
So I just tried to setup my Samsung Pay and it says this device is not compatible??!!
I have unlocked model on Sprint.
Just wondering if anyone else has similar issue to know it will self-resolve over time maybe or if something is funky here.
Very annoying as I used it a ton on my S7....
I have no issues using it on my unlocked S9.

I"m having the same issue to. Anytime I try to use it, it says to update it. The samsung pay in the galaxy app store is updated. So uninstalling that one and installing the one from the play store says it's incompatible with my phone.
But, it sounds like Samsung is aware of the issue and will be updating the galaxy apps version soon

So I flashed my phone to the sprint FW and that one seems to work fine so must indeed be something with the US unlocked ones maybe on some providers or how it was updated etc.
I just tested mine and it works on the unlocked version.
For those that are working are you US based or intl?
I'm also wondering if it's app ver related, carrier related for unlocked or what lol.
I now have another issue with VM not working so am torn what FW I even want to run now lol. Downfall of early adopter I guess hah
Mine works fine with tmobile
Mine does not work. US unlocked snapdragon model. Keeps telling me to update app but there is not an update.
On T-Mobile US, and it works fine here. I didn't try it until after the day 1 update they pushed yesterday, so maybe that was the key?

I've been having the same issues on my USA unlocked S9+, but there's an update in the Galaxy app store today that finally gets me past that "need an update" screen. Go check!!
There is an update for Samsung pay that came out last night and now it works for me. I updated through the Galaxy app store.
When I use it my phone get stuck in wireless charging mode and to remove it igot reboot phone
I have the S8 Plus Hong Kong variant. Samsung Pay only worked for Hong Kong based banks. Uninstalled the app then installed the latest version on Play Store. Works fine now so Samsung did update the app. I'm pretty sure whoever you bank with needs to have a processing application which is compatible with Samsung Pay.
