Can not get NFC to work - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

Lost phone.

Just lost my phone in taxi I'm rooted also have face unlock and pattern unlock secondary. Is there anything I can do to assure the finder can't use it. Or can I track it. I'm on monthly 4g so no insurance!
That sucks man. As for gps locating your phone I believe that's offered by your insurance, or if you had any type of Norton, kaspersky, trend micro etc security on it. They offer stuff like that. Otherwise you might be SOL. As for them getting in I don't know. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that answer.

Go to the play store from your computer and download "plan b" it will be pushed to your phone and allows you to track it.

A buddy of mine used "Lost Phone" app from Play store
I hate how easy it is for someone to look up how to wipe a phone and easily bypass all security. Usually when someone finds a phone, that person doesn't want to know your stuff.
Where's my Droid can also be pushed, and then you can get it's location

did u ever set up Lookout on you phone? it comes w/it.. if you maybe randomly did one day, you can find it with that
2nd to the Plan B. That works amazingly. Also, check if you have a cab receipt. You might be able to use that to identify which cab specifically had the phone. You can call into their dispatch office and ask for that cab. Lookout is awesome too.
I called the cab said he saw no phone. Another passanger could have gotten it. I'm not even going to bother now what's done is done. Thanks to you and everyone for your help. I wanted a new phone anyway maybe my wife will get me one for fathers day. I'll wait and probably get a note or galaxy nexus I'm sticking with Samsung I have a windows and a iPhone at home but don't feel like it I can't go backwards .

I find that the GS3 is not much of a significant upgrade from the GSII. I would much more suggest a Galaxy Nexus since it will still be relevant for many more months to come. The GN comes with pure stock ICS not that TW crap. The GN is almost certain to receive jellybean directly from Google pretty quick while the S3 will have to suffer through what the SII just went through from GB to ICS

Should've went with nexus style all screen.that was kind of the point of ics
Sent from my SGH-T989D using XDA
I would recommend setting up a pin lock on your next device, that way whenever the phone is restarted it prompts you for the pin. It doesn't matter if it's been wiped or not, it registers with your carrier. Also, as added security, I use Avast and from there I can remotely wipe my sd card and the phone, thus removing any chance of someone getting any of my personal info.

I totally agree don't know why these manufacturers still making new ics devices with buttons. Besides the nexus the only other device I see with on screen is a new Motorola phone coming out.

Test NFC, is it possible.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus running unlocked, with 4.0.4. Have Google wallet installed with funds loaded on gift card but have been unable to use. I have tried Mc Donald's. Last night I installed an NFC reader and tried to read my passport, no luck. Not sure if I need to flash 4.0.2 then do OTA 4.0.4 to resolve.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Make sure NFC is turned on, and just to be same turn Beam on too.
Go to a Verizon store and see if Beam works with other Galaxy Nexus.
Are you sure your passport has NFC? It has a little icon picture on the front to show that it does. Check your credit cards see if you have any that says Blink or a wifi signal looking picture.
Yes passport has the symbol on the front, and settings are turned on. I will try the Verizon store method...but how. Share a contact???

Just open a web page touch them back to back and your phone screen will zoom out a little and you can send the page to it

Don't do a contact cuz it auto saves on the other phone.
Pull up a website, app or youtube and touch the backs of the 2 phones together.
Also, you're not using a case are you? Some cases, especially if it's thick blocks NFC.
No case but I am using the official extended battery purchased from Verizon.

Try your original battery, the extended one could possibly be either faulty, or non NFC compliant..
So tried it at Verizon store and its my phone. Tried a second battery while there as well no luck, an employee had one to and his worked... so software issue is my guess, any thoughts?

me too. Sadly after looking around on the net i found that it doesnt work. There might be a way around it once we get root. Can still use the NFC chip just not google wallet, yet. Tmobile and other carriers are trying to develop their own payment system.

I'd rather have Google wallet than some 3rd party app that is hardly established yet. Give it time, i'm sure we will see a hack or an official Google Wallet support. We have the technology in our phones to use the service, just takes time.

Ive been waiting for months for this guys, they are taking their time for sure.
Guys please be careful if this eventually gets working and you have the ability to flash custom roms. When going to a different rom you have to make sure to always reset the app from within wallet before flashing or else you could brick your nfc chip in a way that you can never use wallet again. It happened to me my second day owning my nexus.

This will let you non Sprint people use Google wallet I believe. Just read the instructions it can't be installed normally. It might require root I don't remember.

Probably a build.prop edit will fix it, but could break other things. It would work by telling GW it is a different device.

Has anyone emailed the developers of the app to see if they can fix it? I would assume it's just a case of it's a new phone and needs to be added into to the program.

Anything that accepts paypass.
This on top of "Samsung Apps" having a bunch of "Test Apps" for the ifrst 3 days shows they weren't at all ready for release... REALLY .. is it that different from Google Wallet? There are other apps that don't work
The NFC apps dont work at all - i just tried to pay my parking meter in SFO today with it - doesn't work (yes it is on).

It's Sprint that's the holdup. I wasn't able to use Wallet on my S3 until after I'd rooted and installed a different ROM (CM10 at that point). When I went back to a TW ROM, Wallet continued to work (not sure what they did with their TW ROMs, as even the leaks of the official ROMs continued to work).

any working NFC payment methods?

NFC has been popular 2 years now, yet Google Wallet still 'doesn't support' my device.. are there any NFC payment solutions? I'd love for just once to be able to use my phone for a payment.. do we really have to wait for iPhones to get NFC before we can start getting it ourselves? this is videochatting all over again..

Hi Rawdaddy,
I've been looking out for this for a while, but although there seem to be cracked versions around, there always seems to be a problem topping up in the UK. I've just done another search now, and can't see anything that claims to be fully working in the UK. Where did you get the apk from and how do you top up?
