Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone else have had this issue with Google Wallet.
I log into Google Wallet, go to the Google Prepaid Card then sometimes I get the message balance unavailable but most of the time I get my correct balance amount.
I called Google Support and he tried to tell me that my Galaxy Nexus on straight talk is not supported for Wallet. And I told him, that's bs. I told him that I have the unlocked Google branded galaxy nexus from the play store and that it works on over 200 GSM providers ... blah blah blah..basically didn't help me out.
So have anyone else had this issue before where your GWallet balance is unavailable? Like I said its not a major issue.

Anybody??
Its because you rooted it. It will still work I tried mine today after I got my 10$ from Google. It will say unsupported but still works.

No its not cause I'm rooted. I unrooted and ran into the same issue. Strange thing is that on wifi I can see my balance fine. When on HSPA+ I can log into my GWallet but balance says "unavailable"
Nevertheless I called Google Support and they said everything is fine. They said that I get that message because my data connection is not good and GWallet is really strict on security. I asked him if I get this message would it allow me to make a purchase or not. And he I would still be able to make a purchase because to make a purchase doesn't require a data connection. All the communication is done via the nfc between the two accounts.
I'll give a try later and see if he was correct

I successfully setup google wallet with my gmail account. I then selected google pre-paid card. I flashed over to CM9 now and Google wallet doesn't work apparently. Will i still get the 40$ left?
If the money was on the pre paid card already, yes.

Thanks guys! I went back to stock ROM to maintain working Google Wallet.. i re-added the pre-paid card option. I will be keeping my device activated on the account. The pre-paid card shows 10$ in it already. Anyway to check status if I will be getting the 40$ left?

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???

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?

I'm having the same exact issue. Just got my sprint gs3 today. Mine is a 32gb and is stock / never been rooted. I'm in the KC area. Makes me wonder if its a software issue, or regional issue.
I'll add my name to the list. I'm still stock and I was getting the above Google Wallet error right away on my new 32GB SGS3.

I thought I had heard the 16GB versions were working. I bet Sprint and Google just need to get together and make sure the 32GB version is added to the list of approved devices, hopefully that can be fixed in the next day or two.

Ok im getting reports of Google wallet not working even on stock devices i think it has something to do with sprint not for sure but think it has something to do with sprint trying to release a competitor app to google wallet making it impossible for both apps to control the secure element so youd have to choose between google wallet and sprints touch wallet nothing is confirmed but thats my assumption

Wallet Fix
There is a fix, at least it worked for me!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365360
SE borked?
I guess this is more of a vote than anything else. I successfully activated Google Wallet on my Sprint SGS3 on 6/22 and added my Citi card. Doing so also automatically activated a $10 Google gift card.
I then rooted my device and ensured Google Wallet was still a go (I simply would receive the warning banner stating that the device was technically unsupported due to root).
I then started reading reports that Google Wallet was dead for various users so I checked again and sure enough, no more access to Wallet for me.
I wanted to see if the Sprint LF9 update would cure me. I took a risk and decided to unroot my device (ODIN back to stock). Since I couldn't clear and deactivate Wallet before I ODINed back to stock, do you think my SE is dead?
In other words, you think I should try to exchange my device now or wait to see if the Wallet issue is fixed and then check my device to see if everything is functional?
I guess I could always root again and attempt to apply the workarounds posted in the forum. Anyway, let me know what you think and thanks for the input.
So with today's Wallet update, I was trying to get it working on my Nexus 7 tablet. For some reason, the update wasn't showing right away, so I found a Play Store link online. Surprisingly, it listed my Verizon Galaxy Nexus as being compatible. I installed right from the browser Play Store. It was sent to my device, and after a brief force close or two during setup, it is now running on both my Nexus 7 and Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I am not rooted, but am unlocked. Stock 4.0.4. The only thing I do notice is that the Google Prepaid Debit Card is different on both devices, even though it's setup using the same Google Account (The Galaxy Nexus has a prepaid card that I added back in January with the correct balance, the Nexus 7 has a brand new debit card with 10 dollars pre-loaded on it).
Anyone else notice this? Was it just a glitch in the system that let me do this?

It still does not support the Verizon Nexus.
About the $10, I don't know if can call it a glitch or not. But google gives you the free $10 every time you activate a new device.
Call money market and have them transfer the balance from your phone to your Nexus 7 and you get to keep the $10 from the tablet.
It happened to me when I exchanged my nexus at verizon, I got $10 from my original nexus, and another $10 from the new phone.
Found a link to google wallet on the playstore and was able to install on Verizon GNex. Seems to be working fine, was able to put in credit card. Weird thing is the prepaid card shows $15 on my Verizon GNex and $10 on my Nexus 7.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en
Won't let me install it through the above link.
It is still giving me the dreaded: "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." message.
It's working
I uninstalled the modded apk I had before. Make sure to reset google wallet before uninstalling. The new wallet version released today does not use the secure element anymore, but you should clear the secure element just in case.
Google wallet won't show up on the device play market, but if you go to google play website and select your phone, hit install and it will automatically install it on your phone.

Vicious 4.1.1 w/ Faux worked for me in the past but Team EOS on both the VZW Nexus and my N7 (both with Trinity kernels) won't list on Play through devices and will only show incompatible with all devices through computer Play store.
Went through the play store when I first saw this thread and it said my Verizon Gnex, completely stock, not rooted, was not compatible due to carrier limitations.
Just went back now and it let me install it... Awesome! Not sure what to say lol
I tried searching the store on both my Vicious 4.1.1 phone as well as via desktop, and couldn't locate it. it's just like it didn't exist.
However, i came to XDA to see if i could sideload it or whatnot, and found the link posted in this thread to the store. Clicked it, saw my phone as "compatible," clicked it, and 10 seconds later i was in business.
crazy.
I've been trying for the past few days, but even with the direct link to wallet on the market, I cannot install it on my stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I'm not rooted and not unlocked. Why do I suspect this is a mistake that they are trying to fix and they are busy making it unavailable to all again?
Wasn't on my Play Store either, but side loaded just fine. PA 1.9.2 (CM 10 base)

Had installed since January, but rarely used due to lack of AMEX integration. Just used at Home Depot and much to the surprise of the cashier the bill was paid. Followed by an alert email from AMEX to let me know there was a transaction without card being present.
Hopefully AMEX gets fully onboard so I don't have to have the virtual MasterCard.

For all of you that don't know yet. Today's Google wallet update is now available for vzw users.
I did read comments that vzw users will need a "smart sim"
Can anyone educate me on what a smart sim is?

Has anyone tried NFC payments with this version? I'm rooted and running a hacked older version of the Wallet app on my VZW GNex that still works with NFC, and I don't think the new features are enough for me to want to lose NFC.
Anyone?

You need a secure sim. Go to my Verizon and you'll be able to order one for free. It should ask you if you want one somewhere underneath your phone picture.
Unfortunately, vz still blocked tap to pay payments. So, right now, it doesn't matter what you have. I got a secure sim a while ago just to be ready when everything is ready to go.
If you have recently upgraded your phone at a vz store, you m may already have an NFC enabled secure sim.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (rooted/custom ROM) and it sets up fine for me. It doesnt say that my device isnt supported like the last version. The Tap and Pay sets up with no issues and under settings>about>Tap and Pay, it says "device is ready for tap and pay purchases." I havent tried making a purchase yet but everything seems to work fine so far.
OK, here's an update base on my experiments yesterday (9/18):
Non-rooted VZW GNex with new Google Wallet: NFC payment successful
Rooted VZW GNex with old (modified) Wallet: NFC payment successful
After these tests, I updated my rooted phone with the new app, but I have not yet tried it. All indications are that it should work (e.g. it says it's "ready"). Both SIMs are at least a year old and almost certainly not "secure SIMs" (is there any way to verify with the device?)
So, get the app and start making some NFC payments! It's great entertainment for the night crew at Whataburger and Jack in the Box.

I dont think you need a special SIM. People have confirmed it working already without it
So, ive had GW installed for a long time with an apk i got off here. Can anyone confirm that accepting the update google play is offering will not break being able to use nfc to pay?
Might try it tonight. I would probably disable before taking update being you probably have an unsupported version now technically.

I am running liquidsmooth and I can confirm that tap to pay is functioning properly. Just bought myself some grub at mcdonalds. I still have the same sim that I got 2 years ago with launch of the gnex.
Doesn't matter whether you have a secure sim or not, the API for the secure sim wasn't on the gnex or implemented properly.
Beamed from my Maguro
I remember when the gnex first came out and Google Wallet worked right out of the box!
I've been using the GW app from the APK I got here. I didn't need anything special because my VZW Gnex came with the secure SIM already in it. I installed the update and will try it later today.
I don't have a special sim and the version right from the play store works absolutely fine on my Verizon galaxy nexus including tap to pay. I've used it at the store several times already since the update. The secure sims are for Isis, not Google wallet.
