It will work, if you restored the app from a back up, try and this go into the settings in the app and rest the account, you won't lose your money but that helped me it when i switched kernel s

are you trying to install the .apk for google wallet?

I started getting that message a few days after I updated to the latest G Wallet. When I first opened it, it asked for root access and I allowed it. A few days later, I started getting the message and the app quit working. I uninstalled, reinstalled, restored from titanium, etc. Nothing worked. Finally, I tried installing and using a different Google account. The message hasn't been back and it works when i use it. It seems that if you allow root access, google takes note of your account and the fact that you are using a rooted device, but if you use a different account it'll work. Not the ideal workaround, especially if you associate your bank cards with your google account, but its working for me.

Look to pickup the nexus this weekend, i am look to rooted but use the stock. I would like know to know will i get the error unsupported device on the stock rom with G wallet

From what I'm reading it will work, only we are warned that there are no promises that it won't be hacked....

I am also having this problem. Just pulled my 16GB model out of the box, took the OTA, and I am in a "need to update" loop.
Other things I've tried:
- Deleting data for the app
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the update
- Clearing cache from recovery
- Flashing the stock ROM (pre-OTA)
Even after backing off to the out of the box ROM, still in an update loop. Took the OTA again and still looping.
I'm new to the Samsung platform and NFC in general but I'm a bit aprehensive about rooting/flashing another ROM at this point because I don't want to brick the secure element. I would assume I am OK since there is no wallet profile (I can't load the app) but I am not sure if anything gets automatically created the first time you launch the app.
I'm about to call Google Wallet support to see if they can offer any advice.
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Wow, Google support is quick to call back.
The Google Wallet support rep told me that the service is actually down for both the SGS3 and EVO LTE users right now. He had no ETA for when it would return.
I then asked him if I'd brick secure if I updated ROMs right now and he gave me the standard line about rooting is unsupported, etc. When I pressed him, he said the secure element should be fine since I have no profile created yet.
I don't think I'm going to trust him on that though

Can someone pm the like to the google wallet apk or the one the galaxy nexus forum is using?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I rooted then got the update loop, then deleted installed the apk via root brower and still a no go

I'm rooted on stock rom and I still get "google wallet is not yet available." Cleared all wallet data, cashe, and it still doesn't work. Not too happy

HELP! Google Now has disappeared after upgrading to 4.2

I had Google Now working on my galaxy nexus 4.1.2 just fine for a few months until a couple of days ago when i decided to upgrade to 4.2. Now the google voice search is still there and i tried re-installing it but Google Now is not there anymore, and there is no option in settings that mentions enabling/activating google now.
My phone was always rooted, and i thought it may have something to do with the fact that my bootloader was unlocked, so i relocked it
anyone know whats going on?
thanks

Look up Google search in the play store. Does it show as installed? If not, download and install.

The Google Now settings are hidden on the search screen, lower right hand corner. I had this happen when I turned off Google now on an old device I was messing with, and it turned off on my active devices also. For some reason OS updates have triggered this from time to time also.

Whatsapp problem

Hello there.. I'm having trouble with this app since I rooted my phone and unlock the bootloader in android 4.1.1 yakjuxw, after that I couldn't connect anymore to this and line neither I can't play games online neither.. I can also use Chrome and enter any site, Facebook app works fine and the others common apps too. I though I could solve this problem by unrooting and locking the phone but I was the same.. After that I tried something else I changed my yakjuxw to yakju and update through 4.2.2 the phone was like new from factory, it also erased the cwm I installed but I still have the same problem.. I will appreciate any help, thanks for your attention..
I also reinstall the app several times from the play store and from the page, erase the data and cache but is the same..

The thing is that I haven't registered the account of whatsapp in my phone yet, that's what I'm trying to do, when I enter whatsapp it says "connecting.. After a few seconds says: impossible connect. Please verify that you are connected to Internet and try again.
Please reboot your phone if you keep having this problem of connection.

As soon as you can try to register your phone number below WI fi ... could be your service provider that blocks chat services (remote option I think), or mobile Internet apn are set incorrectly. Since the application does not crash the problem with the connection itself.
firewall or killer app can also cause problems.

I don't have any firewall or killer app installed.. I just wish to know if all those things that I did first didn't damage or modify some important file inside, is it possible? Even after update it could stay modified?

My concern is not only for whatsapp is also by an online game called arcane legends, before I do anything that I explained I could connect to the game even if my Internet was very slow but now I just can't join or download the patches which is very rare because I can download things through chrome. That's why I'm thinking that maybe some inside file is damage or modify, I'm getting desperate with this, I don't know what else to do..

It should not ... in extremis, if you think your mobile connection is properly configured and is not be another possibility download a stock yakju ROM from Google and re flash ... but first I would try under Wi-Fi if you download and run normally app .

When I changed the phone from yakjuxw to yakju I got the update by ota, isn't it a stock version?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

R: Whatsapp problem
when you have changed I guess you have a complete picture flashed yakju ... having the stock recovery you came the OTA update but are generally the same update partial. the rom you go to download from Google and the complete system is to completely rewrite the previous placing any anomalies. Keep in mind that everything will be deleted ... Read, if you have not too familiar, the guides:

[Q] Can't get rid of "package file is invalid" error in PlayStore

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?

Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I can download certain apps no problem but can't update any. I tried almost everything you did and nothing worked. I even took it to att and was told it's an issue with Google. You can always download a vpn app from the play store and you'll be able to download with no errors. I use hideninja Vpn.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.

its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient
