Could anyone please explain why the google wallet is now on the play store but from what I have a CDMA Verizon Galaxy Nexus is not allowed to download but other phones are?
I also know that you can get an APK for google wallet and install it just the same but im curious as to google's reasoning behind why we can actually download it off the store.
Use Chrome to Phone, visit the Google Wallet page in the Play store on your computer and send the link to your phone. Open the link you sent with market and install it. You can then update the app (or should be able to) via the market when there are updates.
As for why you can't directly install it on your phone, talk to Verizon. I'd guess it has to due with Google Wallet competing with their mobile payment initiative, ISIS or whatever it is called.

Thanks for the work around but it doesn't let me saying it isn't available by my carrier or country.

Because Verizon is being dickheaded (and also violating the terms of their Auction 73 spectrum acquisition), and Google isn't telling them to shove it.

How I got it working
So I was messing around with my Galaxy Nexus and my buddy who has AT&T added his account to my phone. He then went into the Play store, searched for and installed Google Wallet. With his account still on the device, I registered for Wallet and afterward, removed his account. Haven't had the chance to test if it works in a real setting but I will tomorrow with my morning coffee.
There wasn't any need to install an apk from some random source, it was straight from the play store on the phone. The only drawback is that it doesn't show up under my apps.
Could someone else verify this works for them?

So I constantly get the "This item cannot be installed in your country" while I have Market Enabler 1.8.1 which worked like heaven like two months ago when I get my ex-SGS2 i9100 (now I have a Galaxy Nexus). I install AOKP Rom Build 33 (which has nothing to do with this issue) and got the new Google Play updated to 3.5.16.
Ok, I tried a couple of "solutions" located in various "This item cannot be installed in your country" posts and nothing, then I check in my list of devices in Google Play and see my Galaxy Nexus under ETECSA, my cuban carrier (yes, I live in Cuba) and were in that moment when I realize that the Market Enabler 1.8.1 is not doing its "job". I know 3.5.16 is the latest version of Google Play, so Market Enabler 1.8.1 must be obsolete or something.
So my question is: Is there any Market Enabler/Access-related application compatible with Google Play 3.5.16?
Best regards.
Have you tried to first install MarketEnabler, then clear Play Store cache, start MarketEnabler and select the carrier of your choice and then lastly launch Play Store?

Well, pardon me if I sound noobie, but in GPlay I can't see such thing as Play Store cache. I can only enter to Google Play Settings but there's nothing there cache-related.
Tell me, you have the same Google Play version as me? Which app you use? Market Enabler, MarketAccess or Market Unlocker? Works fine with Google Play 3.5.16?
Thank you.
EDIT: I just read that Play Store now also checks your IP and not just the SIM issuer code, so it doesn't seem to be any working app for this.

Yes buddy, knowing that is why I first connect to a VPN in Canada, so "my" IP is a canadian one: Google can't know my real IP, believe me.
Thanks.

There you go buddy. This one works for me 100% fine.
Other than looking at my CC purchase report. Report is OK. I can filter by "Google" and I believe that all the paid apps are included.
But is it possible to do that in Google Play Web or App?
In the Web I can find only all Apps I downloaded and All Apps which are installed. But they are not categorized as purchased or not.
Any ideas?
I wish google would do this also in their play store app, I'm sick of seeing every app I have downloaded over the last 3 years in the all apps tab an I can't even delete them from the list.

Exactly. I can see only a list of every ****ty app I downloaded. It's really annoying that we can't filter the list.
Ditto! I remember the "old" Google market where you can look at just the purchased apps, but now with Google play you can't.
I wish they can create some way to sort.
Now, you might be able to see all you purchased apps on a pc. I think.

I might be wrong, but I think there is a list of those apps if you look through the Google Wallet website.

Nice ! I never even thought of that. G.W. is useless in Canada so far, so I never would think to check that, but lo and behold. Thank you !
It would be nice if Google Play Store could do that though, but at least this way I can view the list, then search the market for specific purchased apps, rather than scrolling thru a jumbled, unorganized mess of crapps I have installed in the past.

No problem. I do agree though, the Play store app needs search filters that allows that.

You can see a list of all purchases if you log into the Google Wallet site, however it also includes all purchases from the play store (music, magazines, offers), so it might still be too much information. My advise would be to install appbrain on your phone and sync the apps to appbrain. It will compile a list of paid applications for you and is a handy way to see how much you have spent in the market. The only short fall of this method is it will not account for apps that were purchased and removed prior to syncing.
Finally!!!
A solution we were looking for: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...apps-in-one-place-with-the-legacy-play-store/
So we have two ways so far:
1) Google Wallet page
2) Hacked old Playstore app
Where can I get Google Wallet for my rooted Galaxy Nexus for Verizon?
I do not have any custom mods. It's stock firmware with root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365360
or you can browse the play store with your phone's browser for it, and then click install, but select the play store app when it asks you what to open the link with.
What do you mean by "select play store app". Is all this being done on Android's browser or PC browser?

android's browser.
Just tried and Google Wallet doesn't appear in the listing
I tested with Google Chrome and Stock browser
Can you link me to the latest APK and I'll download it and install it?
I also just spoke to VZW customer service. They said that they do not block any apps and that Google is blocking the apps because it is incompatible with the handset. WTF??! I've been using the old Google Wallet for 6 months and no problem. I just want the latest one so I can use a real credit card.
I have Google Wallet pre-installed, but I do not see my debit card that is on file (can see it on the Wallet website). It will only let me at a Citi credit card in the app...how do I use my own bank's debit cards with this when I want to make purchases?

You need the updated app. I think it's version 1.5
The old version doesn't have options for other cards

Ok great, that worked! Updated to the latest 1.5 release. Now how do I pay? Do I have to open the Wallet app every-time I put my phone near the PayExpress logo at a retailer? Is there any confirmation or will it just charge me?

you need to have the screen unlocked, then you can tap the phone to the passpass machine.

Thanks! I've got NFC enabled, and Beam off. I'll go buy some produce tonight and see if it works.
Update: Still have not been able to use this... I cannot find anywhere that uses the NFC technology for checkout. Kind useless
Any recommendations on stores?

Download the PayPass Locator app. It will show you nearby places with paypass.
Places in my area that I have found having the paypass terminals are: McDonalds, BP gas stations, CVS, Wallgreen's
Ha, by developer "Mastercard". Well MasterCard is going to help me find places to use Visa debit card.
Thanks for the tip!

On my GNex, when I try to go to the play store to buy a nexus 10, it redirects me to the mobile play store and all my efforts to not do this have proven fruitless.
Anyone know how I can access the full play store from my phone??

Well, it's supposed to ask you what you want to open the link with. You most likely have chosen Play Store links to be automatically opened by the Play Store app. Clear defaults in the settings (Settings->Apps->Google Play Store->scroll down a bit and clear defaults) and then give it a try.
So obvious... many thanks!

HA, I'll see you in the Nexus 10 forums! I'll be grabbing one too (maybe after a 1-3 months) and it should be an amazing tablet.
Anyway to get around it?
In the last few years I've installed dozens of ROMs in several devices from smartphones to tablets and NEVER had to pay again for any app.
Your purchases should be tied to your google play account, not your device or rom.

Adding on to that all you have to do is log in to the Google Play account you bought the apps/games/movies/music on and then find that product in the google play store. Since you bought it before it will let you download it without paying again.
A great app for making a list of what you have installed is My App List (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.projectsexception.myapplist&hl=en). It will also take you to the play store and let you install each app on the list. So run it before you flash, store the file it creates some where other than your device's storage, flash, install the app again and then copy your list back where My App List need to find it and go put your apps back.
