I just got this email from google congratulating me on my new GSM Nexus which I don't have and never bought. I've had my Toro since April lol.

This looks like a scam to get your CC info or bank acct info. Whatever you do do NOT click the link attached. There are ways out there to fake an email address. So it is very good you asked first!

Nailed it. Plus it would say android 4.1 since it is gsm. And that 855#..... yea. Total scam. I'd report it as well

I long pressed the links and they are to official Google support pages and that number IS the Google support # which I have used several times because of my Nexus 7 issues.
I got the same email.....but I got mine the day I set everything up on the phone. Same thing happened with my Nexus S. Maybe they were just late sending the email to you.
No, the issue is that I got the one for my nexus when I got the phone but this is for the GSM version and I have the LTE model.
Ditto. I received one when I set up my VZW nexus Thursday night and another when I set it up on JB last night.

it's because you flashed to jellybean before it was officially released...we used a gsm port.
People this is legit email from Google. They send this to all takju (play store) nexus devices. I got that also when I flashed to takju
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP nightly with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
I've had repeated welcome emails after clearing the Framework data (to try and grab OTAs early).
The email being resent should tally with the date and time your phone shows up on your Google dashboard.
Haven't received any such email. Using gnex from Google play
- sent from gnex
I received the same email about 30 seconds after the JB update from ICS, and that was about 2 minutes after turning my GNex on!
I bought from eBay (new, sealed) so do not know it it was a Play Store purchase, but most likely.

So I remember reading that sprint would be getting pic messages update for google voice where the pic would be forwarded to your email but I never heard about that update being for all providers. But just now I got a pic message where the pic was forwarded to my email. Does anyone know if this update has come out officially. I would like to read update notes. (Also mods, if there is a better forum for this plz move. I just consider this my home forum)

You can receive mms now. I wasn't aware the functionality was expanded beyond Sprint until a couple weeks ago. It sends to your email just as you said so I'd say it's rather official.

I just installed AOKP M4 and it seems after installing Wallet and going through the Prepaid Card activation, I landed up with $15 Prepaid Credit instead of the usual $10 I'm used to seeing...
Anyone else see this?
I had only 69 cents but, was checking my wallet after all the latest provision problems and being without my wallet for days I check it periodically now.. All the sudden I had $5.69 instead of 69 cents ..Came here to check whats going on and see a comment here so I guess I do have some extra money now going to 7'11 for cigars now on Google for my medical marij........
checking my wallet to see if true
edit: nop! still same 10$
My balance is now showing $15 as well.
Perhaps they're attempting to apologize for the weeks that it wasn't working...?
15 here too.
yep i just got a $5 boost as well (t-mobile)
Nope, showing $2.67 for me.
Let me try removing the card...and re-adding it.
Edit: Same price. :/ Lucky you!
mine was showing 10 but after I clicked on the card it updated to 15 bucks.

Guys. Don't you ever check your email?
Hello,
As you may have experienced over the last few weeks, we temporarily disabled the feature to add the Google Prepaid Card back to your wallet if you previously removed the card or reset your wallet. We temporarily disabled this feature to ensure the security of our Wallet customers. We recognize this may have been an inconvenience for you, and we did not make this decision lightly.
We are happy to announce that you can now add the Google Prepaid Card back to your wallet with the newest version of Google Wallet, and any funds that you previously had on the card should be restored, unless you contacted Money Network and asked for a refund of those funds. To add the Google Prepaid Card back, you will first need to update your Google Wallet application to the most recent version.
To compensate you for any inconvenience this may have caused, we have credited an additional $5 (five US dollars) to your Google Prepaid Card. If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at 855-492-5538.
Thank you for your continued support of Google Wallet, and we look forward to launching many new and exciting features for you to enjoy in the coming months.
Sincerely,
The Google Wallet Team
© 2012 Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043
You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google Wallet account.

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

Their end.
We're discussing it elsewhere as well.
Servers pooped out last night.
Experiencing the same thing for the first time this morning.
Stock GSM Galaxy Nexus, not rooted
Glad to hear it's on their end
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.

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.

What number do I call to get a replacement device? I have multiple screen issues such as the top of my screen is blue, I have horrid black spots on black screens, purple tint at low brightness(although color mods greatly reduce this), and I'm pretty sure there's more that I can't remember currently. Is that enough reason to give them?
Also I have a small dent on the back and I'm wondering if they'll still take it or if that will cause any problems.
Thank you.

If phone is under warrenty (sure it is still as its been out less then a year) with HTC and I am sure Samsung too, you have to bring to the carriers corp store so they can look at the issue. If they find no damage due to you or think its truly a warrenty issue, they call Samsung and tell them and you put credit card down and they send you a refurb. If you dont have credit card I think you have to send them yours first..... Well thats the way it works with Verizon and Tmobile with HTC anyway.
I bought it from Google play unlocked with 1 year warranty. I noticed the problems the first week but I went on vacation the 3rd week and procrastinated to get it done. Not its been 3 months lol. Anyway it must be different with the Google play edition.
