could someone using the Galaxy Nexus on At&t do me a favor?

I'm not asking you to give me your galaxy nexus
but instead, I've been reading some posts in the Galaxy Note forum, where some of the At&t users have been getting blocked by At&t cus the notes shows up in the system as a galaxy tab.
so what some users did, was they backed up their /efs folders, and then empted the contents.

If you wipe the efs, you get the generic IMEI
Then run that generic Imei on theis site:

could someone try this on their Galaxy Nexus and see if they get similar results as this? I am currently contemplating on importing a Galaxy Nexus and I'd like a "backup plan" in case At&t starts blocking us
thats all! thanks!

I'm lazy. That being said, I used the Note and now the Nexus without any issues. This is on a grandfathered unlimited iPhone data plan as well...

You've got nothing to hide as long as your on the proper plan. I went to the Nexus from a Iphone 3gs(granfathered unlim. data) and walked into a corporate store with my Nexus and said
"hey i got this new phone and I new a SIM card for it & my plan provisioned for HSPA+" he said, great lemme see the phone and i'll get it switched right over. About 10 minutes later i walked out with a free new sim card and the proper plan and still contract free.

I'm a newbie at the changing sim game.
I too, am coming from a 3Gs on an unlimited plan and was under the impression that I can simply swap the sim from the 3Gs to the GNex and continue with my current plan.
Am I wrong and will I need to go to the Corp store for the swap.
thanks

The SIM in your iPhone is a micro SIM, so you will need to get a new SIM from the store for the Nexus.

the 3GS uses a normal sim card.. they started microsim with iPhone 4.

That's correct, the 3Gs has a full size sim. Will I be able to simply swap the sim to the GNex and continue service as normal?
thanks

Yes, you can swap it.

My GN worked simply swapping the sim over but I felt better going to the store and getting the correct plan on my account so i didn't run into any issues getting flagged or any other nonsense.

WARNING!
the /EFS backup process might no longer work in these new Samsung phones
the last few new models released, Samsung has dramatically changed the stuff in /EFS
meaning those are not the real files anymore, so that means the backups are useless as they are only 1k files (hard links) of real files mounted elsewhere
several guys are still trying to crack this but so far it has come up empty handed.

If the EFS backup process don't work anymore it must be a lot riskier to flash ROM now?
Any backup solution can backup the "elsewhere" files and the hard link?

[Q] Google Wallet at Best Buy?

Has anybody used Wallet at Best Buy successfully? Twice I've failed. It says sent, but then informs me that my payment might not have been successful. It worked fine at CVS.
Rabble rabble rabble.

I work at best buy and used Google wallet to buy snacks and drinks all the time...so it definitely works at my store

You might not be holding the phone next to the reader long enough. I've noticed that if I don't hold it there for a couple seconds after the phone says payment sent, it will fail.

Just tried it at a Chevron and a Macy's and it wouldn't work at either place. I literally place the phone on the pay pass thing and it says sent. It stays at the sent screen for a little while and then the next screen says something like Reader detected, last tap may not have been successful, ask cashier if transaction is finished. Both times nothing happened after that. I lift the phone away and try again and it's the same thing. At CVS literally all I did was tap it and it said it was complete and brought me to the receipt page.

so to clarify, your transaction was successful at cvs? i ask because I tried GW at 2 different 7-11s and a cvs and got the same errors you did (payment sent, followed by last tap may not have been successful)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Completely successful at CVS. Held my phone to the reader and entered my pin. It said sent, then went to the receipt page. All in a few seconds. Everywhere else it does what I mentioned.
Rabble rabble rabble.

I've used GW at McDonald's twice and CVS once without any problems, but this makes me want to go to BestBuy and try it. If I do stop in to grab something today, I'll come back and report what I find.

I might run in there as well and try to buy something if there isn't a line and I have a patient cashier. I want to get it figured out. There's no reason it shouldn't be working.
Rabble rabble rabble.

I had a problem at CVS, as well. Didn't want to look like an idiot trying to use my phone to pay, so I just got out my credit card instead. Waiting to go someplace (Shop Rite, perhaps) that has self-checkout so no one sees me struggling

Worked just fine at my Best Buy Mobile.

I loaded fifty bucks onto my account, and now I can't find anywhere to use it. First world problems. The dude at Best Buy just now said he thought the terminal might be broken. But it isn't the only place I've run into the issue, as mentioned earlier.
Rabble rabble rabble.

I went to Best Buy and bought some nose hair trimmers using GW and it went through just fine.
Here is a something to note for people that will be using the Citi MasterCard on GW. The day I got my GW on my SGN, I applied for a Citi MasterCard and until it came in, I used the prepaid gift card that come with GW. I never re-loaded it, so I have nothing to report on it, but something that I do find interesting that others might also is that if you used the prepaid card, it showed where you used it and how much you spent, but on the Citi card, it shows nothing.

Inside the transaction, it says "PayPass merchant - Merchant name is not available for Citi transactions. To view merchant name, see your paper receipt or credit card statement." and "Amount unavailable - Payment amount not available for Citi transactions. To view payment amount, see your paper receipt or credit card statement." but shows the date, time and address of where you bought something. Just an FYI for those of you that care.

Even with the prepaid $10 the merchant name didn't show up for some time for me.

That's odd, mine shows the name and amount instantly when using the prepaid card.

Google Wallet Prepaid Card Down?

Woke up to find funds unavailable and user id couldn't connect.
I reset the google wallet app to see if that would fix it, now i can't re-add my prepaid card.

You're not alone. This morning I couldn't see my funds and when I tapped on the prepaid card it said that it couldn't connect to the bank or something, so I also reset the app and now can't add a new card either. Hopefully it'll be resolved soon. Just got the Nexus and Google Wallet is pretty sexy.

noticed it Saturday night, glad its not just me, i thought i bricked my security thingy..flashed a custom rom and back to stock oer the weekend...

It's down for me too. I asked about it on Twitter but have yet to receive a response. I'm thinking about calling them in a few to see what's up.

I was bored enough to try.
When I called they confirmed it was down and they're currently "working on it."

Google Wallet has been down for at least 15 hours now. No response from Google on their Plus page or Twitter.
This is the service that they claim will replace our physical wallets?
1) Even if it was taken down intentionally for maintenance, there should have been a warning beforehand.
2) If this is unexpected downtime, they should've responded within 15 hours. It's a monday for Christ's sake, and I'm not aware of any US public holidays.
I'm going to be submitting this story to the tech blogs, and I hope you do the same. I've stuck by Wallet through all the negative press, but this episode demonstrates with absolute certainty that Google really aren't invested or interested in Google Wallet.

Anyone with Unlimited Data get a Certified Like New Replacement?

So I am a little hesitant about activating the replacement device I received today...I got my Nexus before they switched to the shared data and was told I can keep it until I activate another 4G phone. I am wondering if their automated systems will treat this device as a new phone considering its got a different serial and all. Has anyone went through this recently?

I haven't done it recently, but that shouldn't be an issue.
Can't you just pop your sim in and go?

This is my first 4G device with a sim so I wasnt quite sure how exactly it will work out and calling Verizon didnt help at all the two ladies I talked to couldnt grasp the question I was asking with one telling me that as long as the Unlimited Data is on my account i'll never lose it...Figured I was much better coming here instead

I have unlimited data on VZW, and I had an LG Revolution, granted this example is before the shared data BS, I just bought a used GNexus off ebay about 2 months ago. I just walked into the store, said I need to get a micro SIM (REVO used full size SIM), they got me a new micro SIM, even activated it for me, and I specifically said I want to make sure my plan does not change and she said of course not, and it did not.
You should only loose it if you buy a new phone from them and then re-up your contract.
From this point forward pretty much all VZW customers with unlimited plans need to buy phones from other sources than VZW.

This is true. You will only lose your unlimited if you use a subsidy or do a transfer of liability.

Thanks guys it went off without a hitch and when i checked with *#*#RTN#*#* i was surprised to find that this phone has not been reconditioned...So I am assuming its new which is nice...Its a v.9 though while my previous one was a .10. Doesn't look like the signal has improved though so far which is frustrating.

Its a refurbished phone. Trust me. They're good at refurbing the nexus. I have no idea why you thought you'd lose unlimited...all you have to do is slip in your SIM, no activation required.

Moto z play has no data on att

Got my new unlocked moto z play today. Went to the AT&T store to get a new sim. Had a micro needed a nano. Anyway did this during my lunch hour, they activated my phone and I left. Later on noticed I had no internet. The data icon showed a question mark. I called support an after an hour they stated my phone is not compatable with there system. I have phone and text, but no data. The phone is being marketed as AT&T compatable. After going to the moto site they have an area that states the phone may not be compatable with all services that AT&T has. I find it hard that they would exclude data.
Anyone else with this issue?

Funny enough I also have no data. However my issue started when I tried to root, and ended up having to flash a boot.img from another variant to even boot anymore. You can check to see if your APN's are set up correctly, or if you have any. Before all of this though, I had data working fine.

Seems like ATT says any unlocked phone is not compatible, or they send you the wrong SIM in the mail. Like was said before, check that you have an Access Point Name setup. I always have to with unlocked phones.

Well it seems it was the APN, damn spent an hour with a tech and the didn't know that. You would think after checking to see that the sim matches there account that would be next. Thanks all for your help. Love the phone would have hated to return it.

Tech support for most companies are useless. They read off of a list of things that could be wrong. Passed that list they have hardly any technical knowledge. 99% of the time you're better off coming here with questions...

Fixed the link. The APN settings are correct, but my problem is from software corruption of some kind. I just have to wait until the RETUS stock firmware gets released...
