Google Wallet Help

So I am an idiot.
I flashed the zip for google wallet on thursday and had everything working. Loaded money onto it, used it 3 times. everything was good.
Decided to try and erase data and use a different email address.
After I did that I got secure element is not responding.
I tried to recover a backup with no google wallet ever on it and i get the same thing.
i tried to load just the .apk and same thing.
does anyone know how to get it working again after this error message? i have tried a factory reset...

No one knows?

ran into this same problem, can not seem to get wallet to work and i am worried that if it ever dose get released for verzion gnex that it wont work. Really hope someone is able to figure out what is causing it or how to fix it.

I'm still looking for a fix. Will let you know if I find one.. do the same if you find a fix

Will do, saw in the wallet .apk thread that if that happens and you don't have a nandroid back up of before wallet was on there then the best you can do is get a new device because the element has locked the phone out. Seems like it would be a silly feature to lock the phone out forever rendering it useless forever but who knows. Maybe someone smarter then me can figure out a solution if not i'm sure i can make up a good reason to exchange mine before the 14 days are up.

noev.. went and exchanged for new nexus today.
I unlocked boot loader. Rooted. Made a backup before installing google wallet this time.
Loaded the .apk and installed. Worked fine.. clicked on pre paid card. Took forever to get card info..
And there's $10 on it again. Weird because I only had some change on before. I have loaded money on it and made 3 purchases. Their still in transaction history but I'm at $10 again.
Gonna go try it out again.

Google Wallet fix....kind of

i posted this in another older thread dealing with the secure element
well i dont know if this has been found out before, but here is my story
i got the hong kong nexus gsm back when it came out here in dallas tx tmobile. flashed it to stock google yakju. i used the wallet app apk and everything worked great. when the update came out it stopped working.
go to settings, apps, all. go to wallet, clear data. go to google account manager, clear data. go to google services framework, clear data. once u do that go to about phone check for update. it will have some weird 1969 date. once it checks open wallet and now it works. only thing is pre paid error when adding card

If you are getting an error when adding your prepaid Google card and you previously had one activated, you need to call Money Network and have them do a master reset on your account. The number is 855-896-0693.

Will try thanks

Unsuccessful
I tried, but it did not work for me. I'm still getting the "secure element..." message. Has anyone tried activating with a different battery?

The battery is an antenna. Nothing more. Secure Element lives in your phone.

Does the master reset really work? I tried this from an apk long time ago and now it won't work with the market installed app and won't allow me to add a prepaid card.

I got this today, stuck at "Initializing your device"
I did Wipe Google Wallet from within the app, and after which i went back to google wallet and it's stuck there.
Stays the same after reflashing 4.0.4.

Goole Wallet

Anyone figure out how to get it working over ATT?
I thought it was good to go, but after turning on NFC and downloading the app, it says not compatible.
Which is weird since its an unlocked phone.

Do you need to turn on NFC while downloading? Did you try downloading with NFC off?
Maybe either the frequency or software might not be compatible.

Someone with an Xperia Z was able to get it to work. Maybe you could test yourself and report back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203482

Is anyone else having an issue with NFC. Mine wont switch on. When i tick the box, it automatically unticks. I did copy down a load of app data so maybe i copied over a system one automatically. Any ideas?
Edit: Uninstalled the re-installed Google Wallet. Went in to apps -> NFC service. Cleared all the data and stopped the service. Rebooted the phone and it worked fine. Chose Google Wallet as wallet provider, turned the screen off, then turned it back on and now i'm back to the same problem.

why u can't change it back??! I can change back to sony without problem
there is one thing after install wallet don't update from market.

No idea, each time I revert back to the Sony build.prop after a reboot I get the Google Wallet message "Your device is not supported". When I use the Nexus build.prop is works fine. Odd that I'm getting this error.

strange!! I am c6506 tmobile

So, by all the posts here, Google Wallet does not work without some hackery? I find that interesting, considering it seems that the phone intentionally supported it. I'd love to know who dropped the ball here, Sony or Google. I would love to have Google Wallet working on my ZL, but I refuse to root my phone and alter the build.prop to get it there.

It's definitely Google's fault here. They update Google Wallet every so often with new handset support. Maybe in the next update...maybe.

I kind of figured that would be the case. I hope Google decides to support the ZL as having a non-carrier branded phone (and thus choices like Google Wallet) was half of the allure of the ZL for me.

(Google Wallet) Tap & Pay Setup Failed

help Tap & Pay Setup Failed i reinstalled and contacted Google about iSSUE.. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF FIX?

So if within the Wallet app you goto "Settings" then "About" does it say "Tap and pay" "NfcPaymentSetupFailure: 11"?
If so, there are a number of people having that issue including me. I've filed tickets with Google but haven't gotten any solutions yet.
Wallet used to work for my device however a couple months back it stopped and the NFC part never started working again.

It says UNAVAILABLE (NFCPAYMENTSETUPFAILURE:1)

Mine says the same message. It means youre locked out from the secure element. You will never have tap and pay on that phone.
The only solution is to bring it to sprint, show them the problem, and tell them your secure element is broken.
Uninstall wallet updates and the message will day "secure element not responding E00"

Is this confirmed? Because Google Wallet support has stated nothing of this sort to me is my correspondence with them. Granted, I they did not ask about the info on the "About" screen, but I've been back and forth with them quite a bit and it's never come up.
Strange, because Wallet worked just prior to the last official update for me. No other changes -- did not change ROM, recovery, or anything else.

I know this question isnt really related but didnt want to start a new thread. Is there any alternative to google wallet? I look in play store but all I see is money manager apps nothing that allows transactions through the like a debit?

There's nothing quite like Google Wallet, but there a number of other mobile payment apps available -- Level Up, Wallet (Pay with Square), Paypal mobile app -- each had a relatively small install base as far as merchants go. Most merchants that use these services seem to be smaller cafés, etc.

I'm on cm10.2 nightly and this is what I did to get it to work. Go to app settings, go to wallet, force stop, clear data and cache, restart wallet app and set it up again, setup tap and pay.... It should work. It just worked for me.

Mine said the same and I was able to get it to work by doing the steps I mentioned.

This has not worked for me. I have tried reinstalling, with and without power cycles, including battery pulls, multiple times. I wonder if this could have anything to do with being rooted, having avast security, or something of that nature.

Unfortunately, I just tried you steps again (not reinstalling) with the same results. Oh well.
I think my next step would be to wipe the phone and start from scratch to see if that will work...

Like I stated code 1 is the secured element locking you out. The damn thing id buggy and some people have had it lock them for no reason.
Mine happened because I factory reset before ckearing the data from wallet.
If when you fladh back to stock unrooted and its still broken, bring it to sprint and show them the error (on the stock un updated version)

I got this with the new update. I reset the app, rolled back updates, set it up and then upgraded and am fine.

Ha! I never had an issue setting it up after the new change. Everything went through fine, however using it yesterday my transaction failed. Reason it said it failed was because tap n pay wasn't set up nor was there a card selected. Stupid thing is the app shows tap n pay is set up n I do have a card selected. Never had an issue on the old wallet..
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I was worried, tap-n-pay wouldn't set up earlier, couldn't use wallet at a store wh n it had worked previously on this install of this rom. (synergy) After reading this thread, I checked and I got the code 11 thing, thought maybe I was f*cked with the secure element. But a quick clear data/cache and a force stop, restart the app, all seems fine. Says I'm ready to tap-n-pay. Cool.

I started getting this after 4.3 upgrade
I am going to attempt a fix file I used a while back I think for S3 I had but it is labelled JBWALLETFIX so it might work or help. I shall let yall know what comes of this. It worked for a long while and then a few days ago when I did the 4.3 update....I get this error. I called and escalated a ticket with Google but doubt they care. More to come. If the zip works I will post it.

Success....Apply this....Fixed!
Apply this zip in recovery and it fixes the problem. I think perhaps there may be some weird issue with updates they did recently and being rooted because the lady asked me "are you rooted?" and I lied and said NO I think some apps do look at root but wtf is with the OS all of a sudden breaking if I give it SU access? I did Unix admin and that should not occur at all. Simply gives a person access to system files. Sure if you delete something essential...you bork it. Anyhow here is the file

I had some NFC fc issues (could have been old modules, 4.3 modules, was unsure...) but determined if I use 4.1.2 version of the files which I attached to this....should be all good.
---The two APK files go into /System/app
---The three .so files go into /System/lib
use favorite file explorer to do that manually and reboot

Play Store / Google Wallet Problems

I'm having a strange problem, and I'm really hoping someone might have an answer, because it's driving me crazy...
I'm not able to buy anything through the Play Store (including in-app purchases). Every time I try to it tells me "This payment method has been declined", regardless of what method I choose (Play Store credit, Google Wallet, Bill to carrier, and 4 valid cards I have saved). I can't even 'purchase' free items (ie. free music tracks).
I'm also having an issue with the Google Wallet app, in that I can't add funds. Every time I try, regardless of how I try to add them (tried 3 valid cards), it tells me I cannot send money with Google Wallet.
I'm running Echoe v6 (international ROM), and everything was working fine, until yesterday. I made a full backup in TWRP, flashed a couple other ROMs I wanted to try, and finally did a full wipe and restored the TWRP backup I had made. Ever since restoring I've been having these problems, though everything else is working exactly how it was prior to backing up/restoring.
I've tried clearing data/cache for both Play Store and Wallet, deleted and re-added my credit cards on a PC, and still nothing. If anyone has ANY ideas or suggestions, they would be GREATLY appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything I did fixed it. I'm thinking it was some sort of issue with my account on Google's end, that ended up resolving itself.
I had spent hours messing with it, finally got so pissed off/frustrated that I turned the phone off, plugged it in, and did some work on my laptop. When I came back to the phone about 4 hours later, it was working again. During that time, I went to the Google Wallet site from my Palm and deleted a few old, unused cards from it, but I don't think that had anything to do with the problems I was having.
I wish I could offer you more help, but I can't. Good luck though!

Thanks anyway man. Yeah this issue has been frustrating me for a good couple of weeks now. I don't really buy much on the play store but now that i do want to purchase something it is just pissing me off. I think I'm going to contact Google see if they can help or something.

I'm having this problem too, says my card is declined when trying to add money to my Google Wallet. Just called the bank, they don't have anything showing my card being rejected, so it looks like it may be a problem on Google's end
