I've had my Evo since July and its still in the "honeymoon" phase of our relationship. She's been rooted via unrevoked and all is lovely. Of course like I'm sure many of us I went on an app spree initially and sometimes still to this day downloading a little of everything free. Now after months with my phone I finally found an app I want to purchase, however when I go to do so and enter my credit card information I get a service error. So I figured maybe it had something to do with my Google Shopping profile, so went to attempt to set one of those up and I get an error there too. I've tried with multiple credit cards with no such luck. Does this have anything to do with me being rooted or has anyone else ran into this problem?

I doubt it has anything to do with you being rooted. The only time I ran in to this error was when I had poor data connection but that doesn't sound like what your running in to. Have you tried creating a new Google account and seeing if it will work on a fresh account?
I'm going to try and create a different account and see if that works.
Try using a different card. There were some apps I couldn't use my Amex for and had to use MC.

Did this work? I'm curious to see what fixes or even more so what the cause of this was.
I hear that Google Wallet does not work if the phone is rooted. I got unsupported device message. Here's my question :
- Can you use wallet app with rooted phone ? (actual work , I haven't tried yet ; I denied root access but the message still there)
- Do other NFC apps request root to run ?

It works fine with a rooted device, it just warns that it's not supported (and links to the article describing the security risks briefly).
In general root access isn't needed for anything NFC related - this was a recent addition to Google Wallet.
So you still can pay with GWallet on root phone :great: I also interested with NFC modding. I see there are many NFC card with vary capability (from 50b to 1Kb) , which one should I buy ? (I'll use for turn Wifi/Bluetooth on/off or Change brightness e.t.c)

I have an EVO 4G LTE and prior to rooting I definitely cleared my Google Wallet. But just now since rooting and installing Charmeleon, when I load Google Wallet I get this message:
Not Supported
--------------
Unfortunately, Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier.
Obviously, this is not true, because it worked just fine prior to rooting.
Clicking OK merely closes it out, so how can it still work if I can't go any further?
It can still run up until that verification takes place, I've seen it many times on my sgs2 when we first got nfc enabled awhile back. Anyway to address your problem it could be a couple of things, first thing that comes to mind is your apn settings. My reasoning is you said it worked completely before and you flashed chameleon so the error your getting could definitely be that. Check your apn settings, make sure your connecting to the same servers as before. If that isn't the issue let me know as I don't have your lg so I couldn't tell you if it has something to do with the secure element at this time.
Actually I just did some quick research for you. It seems even people on stock rom are having issues with nfc and not just Google wallet but a lot of reports of not being able to detect nfc cards or other credit cards,pay pass etc. Does your nfc work in any of those capacities? If not I would start there because if that doesn't work Gwallet surely won't. Lastly I just read a few issues in the sprint version of the phones forum on xda people believe there's an issue with the placement. Check it out

Thank you for looking into this, and for discovering others are having issues. I'm not sure how to go about checking my APN settings, but I am looking it up.. so as soon as I figure that out I will post back and let you know what I find lol
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
I believe my APN was and is LTE/CDMA unless I'm miss understanding, this doesn't appear to have changed. As far as the other trial&error's you've suggested, I am going to have to try those later because I am at work for the night, and don't have access to anything here. Thank you for looking into this!
I can't Help You *_*

Has anyone been able to add their Citi MasterCard to Google Wallet lately? I've been trying since June 13th and it just times out. The card does get added to the Google online site. but not on the phone. I'm on the stock Sprint ROM and not rooted. The Google Prepaid card adds fine.
I originally added but then re-installed a rom and when I went to go re-add it I have been getting the same thing. They said its some sort of "out of sync" issue and I have a ticket open but never heard back.
I'd also had my citi card on the phone, but wiped Wallet to update to a newer version of Wallet. Now it just keeps timing out.
I called Citi and they cancelled the association with my phone, but it still just keeps timing out.
The Citi guy said there was a known issue with HTC EVO 4G LTE phones, but that there shouldn't be with mine.
Oh well, guess it's back to plastic until they sort it out.
Same here... Mine gets stuck in adding card. I have opened tickets. It seems to be a Wallet problem. Citi bank reset my account but still does not work. At least the prepaid works.
Ditto. I can add a prepaid card but when I try to add my Citi credit card it hangs every time (after several minutes) with the message "Error Adding Card". Citi says they have resolved Wallet problem with most phones, including the gnex, but they obviously don't know we're rooted. Many ROMs spoof different identification codes for various reasons, which could play a role. For example, the ROM I use shows device as "GT-I9300" and "toro" in the build prop. What do your build props show for device?
I was just now able to add my Citi card to the Wallet app on my HTC One X, so whatever server side issues they were having appear resolved , at least for the time being.

You rooted?
I just talked to Wallet support and they said being rooted is the likely reason we can't add a card. Here's the follow-up email Google sent:
"We strongly discourage gaining system-level "root" access to your phone if
you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with
unauthorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be
limited.
If you have other questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy
to help. Have a nice day!"
Yes, I am rooted, and using a custom rom.
I had the citi card on this phone with an older version of MoDaCo wallet hack, but lost it when I upgraded to last software hack. It took three days trying, but finally got it to take.
I also have Wallet on my GNex, but just with the prepaid. I don't recall which hack I got it on there with.
You might want to try the MoDaCo hack , it disables three different checks the app makes for root, device and carrier.

I am still unable to re-add my citicard. Added and worked fine in May under yakjuxw 4.0.2. But then flashed takju 4.0.4 and I haven't been able to add it back again since. Never been rooted. I had no idea that flashing the US version of software (or any rom) could blow out wallet until after it wouldn't work, I searched and found that the secure element may be blown. Called Citibank twice, sent google feedback twice, posted here in another thread. No help or feedback from anyone so far. I can't even tell if its a Citibank issue, google issue, or an issue caused on my phone because I flashed a new ROM without doing anything to google wallet first. It says verifying card, seems to go on to the next step but then gets stuck at adding card and says unable to add card, call Citibank. I'm not willing to try the prepaid card, for fear of losing any money I put on it. Its been about a month now like this, so I've pretty much lost all my initial trust in google wallet. Nice idea, but completely worthless.

Tried the MoDaCo hacked Wallet, no luck. I'm thinking all the recent "server issues" are related to Google tightening things up. If anyone really wants to use Wallet, might be best to return their phone to stock. Otherwise, just carry your credit card, it's not very heavy!

LOL to just carry your card line.
There's so few places that I actually go to that have paypass that the Citi card on the pine is really just a novelty. Kind of a geek pleasure. Anyone with these high end phones that reads these forums is probably a cutting edge tech kind of person. We want this stuff to work just for fun.
If the server business is google cracking down, then why did it work for me this morning? I'm on same ROM, same root as when it wouldn't work.
I was going to switch roms today, but now I'm afraid it will break Wallet again.
I don't think Google wants to block anyone. They want people to use Wallet. The only blocks they put in place are to appease the telcos or the bank.

You're right on with the cutting edge thing. I used to love to amaze sales clerks by paying with my phone. It was always the first time they ever saw that done.
I'm a bit of a crackflasher but until recently I was always able to reset wallet and then add my Citi credit card, probably did it 10 times. It stopped working with new ROMs at the same time Google was having issues with its server, which is why I'm thinking something's changed on Google's end when dealing with rooted phones and custom ROMs.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm wondering whether the ID info in the build.prop of custom ROMs is an issue. I know the ROM I'm using now identifies my Gnex as GT-I9300. I did try editing the build.prop to stock ID, and also tried the MoDaCo hack which supposedly bypasses such ID checks, to no avail.
Don't think I'm going to waste much more time on Wallet, but I'll keep an eye on this thread in hopes of a fix or hack.
There's certainly several things going on behind the scenes.
Don't forget that if your card is associated with Wallet already, trying to add it will fail. Try too many times and you get locked out for a day.
If a new ROM changes whatever that association indicator is, that cooks be the cause of the failure. Never hurts to call Citi and ask them to reset on their end.
I agree about retail clerks always never having seen pay with a phone before. I always get that "what the heck?" look. One clerk acted like I was pulling some kind of scam.

i posted about this issue a couple of months ago...not many people responded to that thread...i added my citi card successfully then reset the app to flash some stuff then when i tried to re-add it, it would give me an error message...i called citi a couple of times and they said they were going to reset it on their end
i tried it again a few weeks later and ever since then it just hangs on the adding card part...it doesnt error out...just hangs...i never got to try it at a store
Im rooted but just. My build is IMM76D.L700FD02. As for rooting what I understood was basically that was google pulling a CYA regarding the security issues with rooting, not that they were blocking the app.
distortedloop, do you get the notification about rooted devices not being supported when opening wallet?

No, I don't get that warning, but I'm using MoDaCo's hacked Wallet app which disables the root, carrier, and device build checks.
Problem with wallet only with citi card?
It seems based on this thread, it really is only a problem with using the citi card with wallet.
I am using a rooted Nexus with custom rom and wallet works for me.
(Note: I have not changed roms since it has been working.)

Correct. Problem is adding Citi Card only. Wallet works fine. Prepaid cards add fine. Citi card fails to add after several minutes communicating with the server, returning the message "Error adding card". Initial verification of Citi account information is successful, the failure comes during "adding card to Google Wallet".

Plus, the problem is just adding the Citi card to Wallet on the phone.
For me, the first attempt to put my Citi card on the phone failed, but the Citi card was added to my Google account online (also confusingly called Wallet now) and was available for selection in the Play Store.

I'm curious if anyone has tried the 7t on the visible Network by Verizon. I got my Sim in the mail yesterday and there were some issues with the app. The phone recognized the Sim but I could not activate because the app didn't recognize that the Sim was inserted and therefore could not proceed. I currently have a case being worked by visible. I checked my IMEI before ordering the Sim and visible said it was compatible. I'm curious about others experience with visible using the 7T. If anyone else has had a similar experience and has a workaround it would be greatly appreciated.
7T works fine here. Followed their instrutions for provisioning (reboots etc)and works fine. Default voicemail password is 1234.
(My carrier tag on XDA says "Verizon" because there's no Visible tag)

One thing I found, was that the Visible SIM fit very loose in the tray--it kept wanting to push itself out as I was closing the tray and needed held in. Barring that--there have been a few app updates--could try rolling back versions via apkmirror etc.
For people whom it works--it is quite great....but people with issues find Visible support generally useless, unfortunately .

Update....I was able to activate on the OnePlus 6t using the app and swap the SIM back to the 7t and it worked. I would have tried this much earlier but visible said they didn't support the 6t.....go figure.
Tried to add my debit card that was working fine on my Pixel 5 and it ends up saying "Contacting your bank>>Card Couldnt be added"

Yeah, some bank debit cards don't support GPay and often PayPal doesn't as well.
Banks need to enable that feature on their cards and PayPal, I'm not sure if you can call them, have them enable it for your account.
OK this weirdly started happening to me after flashing the .36 update. I had 3 cards added from 3 different banks previously - after clearing out GPay, it only let me add one card, telling me the other 2 banks aren't setup to do GPay (which I know isn't correct).
Not sure if this is an outage thing, a .36 thing, or the way in which I updated the phone thing...
Checking in with my bank, apparently there's some issue with Visa cards at the moment - have you got a Visa card? Both of my two cards which aren't working (from two different banks) are Visa, so that much checks out at least
Try contacting your bank. It's all about them. It's just security check. It happens once in a while.
I had a similar issue when setting up my P6 Pro, it offered to enable GPay with my card (whilst initial setup), but then after authorization it gave me an error. Problem was that my creditcard company wanted a SMS verification and only the GPay App (and not the setup tool) supports that, so I had to manually re-add it later in the GPay App.
I have the same issue, can't add my starling card keeps saying contact my bank fs, gpay accepts starling but still can't do it

No I have a MasterCard. And it's the one that I use for Google subscriptions so I can't delete it. I'll call the bank today and see if it's a security issue.

just today PayPal was able to be added. Really was tired of contacting my bank anyway, everytime i reset my phone. Adding paypal seams so much easier
No issue getting my visa activated, but it's been previously activated on my previous phone for 5 years or so.
I had the same problem recently but my phone (4a5g) had an unlocked bootloader. When I read locked it it worked normally. The bootloader was unlocked because I was participating in the Pixel 4a 5G beta. It's working fine on my 6 pro.
