Google Wallet, workaround - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

One of the big attractions of NFC is Google Wallet. Yet when I open the app, it says "device or mobile network not supported." Does anyone know when it will work on T-Mobile/ATT/Verizon, what the deal with mobile payments and them is, and a possible workaround?

Work around for what, getting Google wallet to work?

yea, tho I can say I feel much better now that the iphone 5 won't have NFC, so even my hspa+ GS3 will still be futureproof

There a way to do it without a custom ROM? I wanna wait till JB till I root it etc.

You can do it on stock but you must be rooted. Rooting is exceedingly easy on this phone. Go for it.

Not unless they really look into it. If they want to know, they can find out anything. You are far less likely to be noticed on an unlocked phone, though.

There are dozens of tethering apps that require root. Most of them are pretty solid. Lots of recommendations in threads here.

I'd rather have Google wallet than some 3rd party app that is hardly established yet. Give it time, i'm sure we will see a hack or an official Google Wallet support. We have the technology in our phones to use the service, just takes time.

Ive been waiting for months for this guys, they are taking their time for sure.
Guys please be careful if this eventually gets working and you have the ability to flash custom roms. When going to a different rom you have to make sure to always reset the app from within wallet before flashing or else you could brick your nfc chip in a way that you can never use wallet again. It happened to me my second day owning my nexus.

Probably a build.prop edit will fix it, but could break other things. It would work by telling GW it is a different device.

Has anyone emailed the developers of the app to see if they can fix it? I would assume it's just a case of it's a new phone and needs to be added into to the program.

This on top of "Samsung Apps" having a bunch of "Test Apps" for the ifrst 3 days shows they weren't at all ready for release... REALLY .. is it that different from Google Wallet? There are other apps that don't work

It's Sprint that's the holdup. I wasn't able to use Wallet on my S3 until after I'd rooted and installed a different ROM (CM10 at that point). When I went back to a TW ROM, Wallet continued to work (not sure what they did with their TW ROMs, as even the leaks of the official ROMs continued to work).

I dont think its sprint. The store told me sprint allows wallet. Ps this no autocorrect is whack.

I wonder why the Google Wallet issue is getting so little visibility???

I am TIRED of waiting on Isis. Who knows if it will even accept Visa cards (CHECK CARDS). Google Wallet can do this today but AT&T is blocking us. Is anyone else tired of this??? I see very little noise about this on the Internet, and it confuses me.

Because there isn't much we can do about it. Its a competition and a niche one at that. Not a whole lot of stores are geared to support it, and the ones that do are tied up with either Visa or Google Wallet or Mastercard in contract garbage.
Just mod it in for now until the dust settles and a standard is made. I've been using it for months without an issue.
+1 to this^^^^^^^^^
Yeah I know what ya mean. But AT&T can't block those that know how to get it working on there device!
Kinda like myself.
But I understand your question, because Sprint is doing it no problem! Signed my buddy up on his phone and he loves the hell out of it. He uses it almost everyday!

Then perhaps you can tell me how to get my wallet working again after switching Rom's and not resetting wallet? The dreaded "Device set up failed" screen is going to drive me to drink.....too late. The point of Milkman00 is a valid one, why do we have to do these cat and mouse games to make something work that hardware wise these phones are capable of performing? Truthfully, I don't understand why Google doesn't balls up and force the carriers to allow this app if it is indeed the carriers that are blocking it.

This is a major problem for me too. If they won't accept Visa, they are useless for me.
Not sure if it will help anyone, but I finally got my GW to work. Had to install modaco toolkit and xposed installer, then use the install files (and instructions) from the skynote rom page found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093870
Tried other combinations of things with no luck. Did those things with a reboot and it works for me. I may have even done too many steps, but it works. and thats what counts.

Are you running AOSP or TW? When I had GW working I was using SkyNote (awesome Rom by the way) but I like AOSP better. Except for the GW thing I couldn't be happier running Liquid 2.9. All this should be moot as GW should just fuc%ing work with the Note II.

Edit: Stating this peaked my curiousity. I now run both with dual boot. Still am not seeing the benefits of AOSP.

you know whats even more stupid? i already got google wallet on my phone and i live in canada but when i try to pay for it, it declines me and tells me that international payments are not supported yet. its a credit card, i really dont know why google is blocking this for other countries.

Theres something you can flash in the general forums that fixes Google wallet but it doesn't matter. Unfortunately, the Verizon HTC one lacks secure element which is necessary to use Google wallet to make NFC payments.

Chip is not needed just a software fix, there is one for the S3 and 4, also there is a NFC sim card you can get that contains a secure element.
But you then need to fool wallet into thinking you have another carriers HTC ONE. This can be done via the build.prop.
Actually there is a version of the apk floating around with it done in app not sure it will work here

Currently using on my Verizon S3, had planned on trying it out on HTC ONE this weekend. But idjet brother couldn't be bothered to answer the door so I have to wait a few more days.
I'll look for the thread that got me started
---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------
OK so here is the S3 Thread that helped me get tap and pay working, I started reading around page 330. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
Also I'm thinking if you have the NFC sim you could try the ASOP version in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400143
Again I have yet to test any of this myself since still waiting on my phone but thinking it will probably work. If not then we will need a similar LIB fix as the S3/S4 uses
Well using those guides I installed Google Wallet and its asking me to setup tap and pay. I need to see if I can get one of my parents to help me test it tomorrow or sometime soon if someone else doesn't try before me.
BTW im on Cyanogen Rom and I think i have the verizon nfc sim.
