Problem Solved for Google wallet stuck on "Initializing your device" - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Today Google Wallet became officially available for my Yakju Galaxy Nexus on Play Store and I installed and activated it on the device. It worked fine. I then decided to flash the Takju ROM, also available from today. GW is included in this ROM. Upon starting Google Wallet the application got stuck on "Initializing your device". While researching the problem I learned about the NFC Secure Element problem. I was almost ready to return my phone when an idea came to mind. I recalled reading some place how a chip/part of NFC is indeed in the phone battery. I currently use an OEM extended battery. I replaced it with the original battery, which was not affected by the application. To my surprise and amazement Google Wallet started with no problems. At this moment from the within the GW application I did a reset. Changed batteries again and this time GW started again with no issues and with the extended battery that was initially in the phone.
In brief, to fix the problem follow these steps:
1.You need to find a second battery, your own or borrowed from a fried. This new battery, if already used with GW, needs to first be reset from within GW.
2. Place the battery in your phone, activate GW, confirm everything works.
3. Reset GW from within the application. Take out the second battery.
4. Place your first battery back in the phone and start GW. Enjoy GW!
5. The second battery is good for new activation of GW too, since you reset it already in step 2. Thank your friend for the battery.
If I saved your phone, I'll appreciate a small donation to buy a beer. Cheers!

Any1 try this?

I believe you are correct. I had a secure element error when I upgraded from liquid 1.25 to 1.3, but it was fixed when I flashed a fix for deep sleep and Google Wallet that I found on the liquid thread. However, when I was doing some research, I came across a similar statement.

I'm having the same issue. Tried a friends battery and no go still get stuck on the initializing the device. And when I go to settings and click more it freezes settings and force closes. Flashed back to stock and went into settings and clicked on more and went in fine. Started Google wallet and stuck again. Went into settings/more and bam. Froze again.

Do you have a nandroid of when it did work? I had this problem, but when I flashed my backup everything worked fine.

The Battery Does Not Matter...
The battery only has the antenna. It does not contain the actual NFC chip or secure element which are in the phone.

I just (vaguely) used the instructions in the thread where the apk is, that works fine.
Took a few tries to get it going, now my inbox has about 5+ Google Wallet activation emails. :S

Anyone having MMS issues?

Noticed this last night, havent been able to send an MMS since about 9pm lastnight. Local issue?
Still having the issue, is there some data I can clear or something to reset?
Custom rom?

Nope, bone stock. Running ZVB.
This has happened to me before with this phone and Sprint. First question: are you using the Stock Messaging app? If so, try rebooting the device. I've noticed when I was on ZV9 or ZV8 (can't remember which one) when I would drive through an area with no signal, the radio just refuses to pick data back up. Turning Airplane Mode on and off or a reboot usually fixes the issue. If you're not using the stock messaging app, you might have to wait for an update to that app.
Sorry, that's really all I got.
Airplane mode on/off, reboot, nothing is working.
Settings are correct

Not sure if your having the same exact issue i am. But i can't send test messages shorter than 4 words or so. This has happened to me since i got the jelly bean update. I have reset the phone, check the settings like u, root and reinstall jb, done ## something##, brought my phone to sprint...... Ihave not found the answer yet either. Its really annoying when i want to reply something short and to the point. My text messages are littered with fails. If you figure something out please let me know. And to top it off sprint says i need to spend 50 bucks on a referbished phone, to fix my issue.Wtf
I was able to send a text of more than 4 words, seems to be MMS outgoing only. I received a pic earlier this week.
I meant I can not send outgoing messages shorter than 4 words or so.

Have you tried calling Sprint to see if there's an outage in your area?
I doubt its a 2wk outage. Also, my fiancee's GS3 can send pictures no problem. I can also send pictures via GOSMS, but that is just a crutch and I shouldnt have to do that.

Well you can still try calling. And see if there's something they can do on their end. I had a similar problem like this before and they said there was like a data blockage to my phone or some bs. And they pretty much had to reactivate my phone.

Mine does that too, not just my phone but my Wireless hotspot too, (a AT&T Unite) I can keep the connection up by doing a "ping www.google.com -t" in the command line.
Yes, this will kill your battery, consider using bluetooth or USB tether.
Furthermore AT&Ts DNS servers suck use these
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Just put them in to your DNS settings in Windows.
This isn't an issue with your devices, its a AT&T issue from the looks of it. (I called AT&T and they tell me that the local tower is having issues so unless I continuously ping google I can't tether or use my hotspot for more than 20 minutes without getting DNS errors, Does it with any ROM I try, even my PlayStation Vita does it)
Sorry but my note 2 is bell variant and i'm on bell network in Canada. The only reason I'm using this forum is because AT&T has the same model unlike the other verizon and such.
So any other idea???
i also tried to set the hotspot auto turn off to always on and it seems to help a little. however every now and then i still get disconnection.

Did anything change when you continuously pinged Google?
I keep refreshing the page, enter new common websites such as MSN or yahoo and they all show nothing except DNS failed look up. I changed the bell apn to some tether apn bell offered but that didn't work. So now I reset the apn to have it look up the settings itself. Still having the issue..
I never had this issue until recengly like last two weeks. Iunno what could be the Cuz and I can't figure out is it my phone, rom, or laptop...
I seriously will pay someone if they can't help me fix this!

Disable your app and use ES File Explorer to hotspot. This can help to see if it is wifi app specific issue, or a common (phone setting, DNS...) problem.
Mine works this way on Stock and no root.

How far can you flash back?

Just as the topic specifies, how far can I safely flash back, build wise? I have a t889 running 4.1.2 uvbmd1.
Long story short at some point about a couple months back their was a leak for an ota it was apparently posted in a wrong thread, supposed to be for the t889 and I later that day discovered it was a different model, same phone. I discovered this when I attended to use triangle away and the app attempted to verify my phone model and it came back with 7100 or something like that. I'm sorry I can't recall exactly. It was then I flashed the correct update. Anyhow here I am today with a couple things that leave me wondering what's going on with my phone.
Battery is apparently taking way to long to charge. Never used to take this long.
And the most important sign that's raised my index of suspicion is the fact that my airplane mode shortcut is no longer an option to be used or applied on my phone. It's still on my wife's phone (same phone) but no longer on mine. See picture....
So in attempt to undo and possibly fix what flashing recent build won't and didn't do I'm curious how far back I can flash without bricking it completely???
Thank you for any assistance.

Update
If you look you'll see no airplane mode switch when there should be. Plus now there's some mobile data switch... where did this come from? ....no it's not supposed to be there. My wife has the same model phone I do and she has the airplane mode switch and also no mobile data switch.
No ideas eh? I understand it's not a normal issue.

Thanks, saw that but couldn't seem to find an answer regarding how far back I can go build wise until there is risk of bricking.
For example
Verizon and moto would constantly lock or change bootloaders so much in New builds that if you flashed back farther than you should have build wise it would completely brick the device.
Want sure if there was a risk of this with Samsung.

Have you tried Odining the current build?
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I Odin'd this build and the previous and its still there. That's kinda why I thought going back farther might help. Just don't know if it's safe.

Did you wipe /data right before/after odining?
Actually I didn't do it before, but here's where it gets weird. I did a factory reset from recovery yesterday and I kept root, status was normal afterwords.here's the weird part. The mobile data switch was gone, no ware to be found and airplane mode switch returned.
So my happy self decided too use titanium to restore user apps only. When I opened titanium it said my android user id had changed likely due to the reset. It asked me if I wanted to restore the previous so I said yes. It rebooted than I restored user apps only, I checked the box that said exclude system apps. Everything went smoothly.
Sometime after this, it was than that I noticed the stupid mobile data switch was back, airplane mode switch was gone, and the long charging was back as well. Sigh..... so here I am as frustrated as ever....

Yup,
It's not in the options. Check out the above picture of my notification panel options. You don't have the mobile data switch either? Check out your picture and then mine.
It's quite strange.
Almost forgot, I tried the mobile data switch and it does not put the phone into airplane mode. It brings more to the mobile network options when I long pres it.

No internet, maybe blocked by T-Mobile on my Note 3

Hello everyone,
Since 2 days now, my 4G/LTE/EDGE symbols have been constantly appearing and dissapearing. I am in the NF1 firmware and rooted. It was working great but now it is like goin on/off like every 5 seconds. I think my data got blocked by T-Mobile but I'm really not sure.

You think you went over your allotted data limit? If that was so then the symbol would switch to 4G instead of 4Glte, Maybe you are right that you've passed your limit and maybe you should check settings/more networks/mobile networks and ensure that network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM and check that mobile data is enabled.........and my last guess could be that maybe your sim is loose or failing?

I think it is a bug in the system. I used 2056.47GB according to the My T-Mobile website (tethering non stop), but on the use tab it tells me I used 2048GB of Unlimited. Maybe that stopped my data. I guess on the 17th it will reset and I'll have internet again since calls and messages works correctly. Also, there's no alert on my account and neither a message sent, so my guess is their system just limit the data to 2048GB somehow.
2 terabyte wow. I use net10 on att towers and have massive data connection issues as of the past 2 days and i just put a new monthly on it.

I called them and they said the data was not blocked and that it was not possible to block because it is unlimited, which I think is clearly a system bug or a hard or soft limit of 2048GB
I find it really hard to believe that you managed to use 2TB of data, even if you're tethering. I'm not saying you're lieing, but I think there's something wrong on the backend here that's not reporting appropriately.
There's obviously some kind of issue occuring when you authenticate on the T-Mobile network. My suggestion is either ODIN the phone back to stock and try again, or go into a Store and see if they can tell you anything about your account that's throwing flags at them.
I hope they did block you.

Yeah I think they did that throttling thing because of me
Well, I'm hoping the 17th I get the internet again, of course more carefully. I was just looking at the "how much unlimited data means" limit and I seem to have found it.
If not, the reps said it could be the SIM Card and I have to go to the store then.

How can you even call TMO with a straight face? 2 TB is abusing it, dude.
Can you try a few things?
1) Turn the phone off then back on see how long you have data for.
2) Force the data band of the phone and see how long data works for.
3) Put your SIM into a different device and see how long you have data for.
And of course if you can try all these things on a few different towers just to be sure.
Also can you try cooking an egg on your phone? That thing must be running pretty HOT.

All of that was what the reps said me to do, but data doesn't work.
Here is the bug I suspect, which makes me believe data is turned off at 2048GB:
In this image, the data reported 2048GB, but it let me use a little more. It just stayed at 2048GB

Here you can see that it is reporting what I really used before data was turned off:
I know I may have abused but still they didn't really said nothing about it, and they said blocking can't be done on the phone call. They said to visit the store for a phone/SIM checkup.
You can try to reset your NV values and modem. Below is a link to the thread with instructions.

I have just confirmed myself that this is indeed a system limitation by T-Mobile. Today my cycle reset and I got my data back.
So, in conclusion, T-Mobile unlimited plan indeed have the 2048GB limit.
I hope people aren't complaining about a 2 terabytes limit. I felt like I was abusing when going through 10 gigs a month.

OMG...2TB of mobile data, that's insane!! Even I have The 105Mbps Comcast plan and I can only manage to use 170GB a month(streaming Netflix and downloading torrents everyday)

Can't update "new" 360, or even maintain connectivity

I just got my latest replacement Moto 360 (previous one was replaced due to its battery life, but that never made a difference, and this one for the cracked case), and I'm attempting to get it synced and updated (it shipped with 4.4W.1), but I'm running into nothing but trouble with it.
About halfway through the process of downloading the updates, Google Play Services begins crashing on it nonstop. Over and over and over again. And Android Wear on my phone (Nexus 6, 5.1.1 stock) can no longer connect to it. Perpetually just "Trying to connect...". No amount of restarting either device resolves this, and I've factory reset the watch twice now, and without fail by the halfway point in the download, this starts again.
The whole process has managed to screw up my G Watch, too, which is in the process of resyncing ALL of its apps and watchfaces for no known reason, and sometimes losing connectivity in the process.
Any ideas? I'm at a complete loss here. The watch is useless to me in this state, and I can't find a way around it.
EDIT: Eventually resolved. Finally uninstalled and reinstalled Android Wear on my phone, then reset the 360 for the fourth time and then ignored it for a while, before leaving with it and actually using it normally. It completed the download eventually and updated that night successfully.
For an update to work you need a minimum of 75% of battery on the watch.

I am having the same issues here on multiple attempts. I have tried with Huawei P6 (Multiple software versions of EMUI), OnePlus One, Nexus 7 (2012 - Stock Android 5.1.1) and iPad Mini 2 (iOS 8.4)
They all pair the first time and connectivity is fine but once they loss connectivity they do not reconnect and if I software update it get around 25% and they I get "Google Play Services has stopped working or com.google.gapps has stopped working...
I can only solve this by resetting the watch back to factory defaults but that isn't a good solution.

From what I can find it's not the watch or the mobile device that is the issue. The issues is the Google Wear App on our phones. The latest build 1.3.0.2250989 released on the 18th of September create this issue for many people. There is almost nothing we can do but complain to google on the play store and hope they fix it soon.

If that's the case, uninstall the Wear app and install an older version of the Wear app from apkmirror.

Yes this is what some people suggested, although I haven't tried this yet some people said it won't work with the latest build of Google Play Services. Not sure if this is true or not but I might try it later tonight if I feel up to it

You could downgrade the google play services as well, although your other google apps probably won't like that. I've never heard of an app complaining about a version of GPS that was too new though. Only too old.

Yup, I will being testing it in a little bit :highfive:
Update:
I have managed to install the older version of AW and it appears to be stable version (1.3.0.2139573). The newer version have crashes on launch. I am going to try update my moto 360 from 4.4w2 to 5.1. Wish me luck!
Update 2: I successfully managed to pair and update my moto 360 on version (1.3.0.2139573) to 5.1.1.
After the update I had to update the Android Wear App on my phone to the latest build to get it to pair with my watch. I have been connected for around 8 hours now and all is working like it should.
