Sprint took away google Wallet today?

I tried to use google wallet and is says unfortunately your carrier or country is not set up for google wallet. (or something like that)
Any one else have a problem today on Sprint?

Sprint is probably doing this because of the launch of their own Google wallet equivalent service

Doubt it. There has been talk of axing Google Wallet. Perhaps Sprint is preparing for the removal of the service.

I'm getting really irritated by all the changes sprint is doing :S hopefully they will stop before I decide to change carriers. I been with them for over 8yrs now and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way

Damn mine isnt working
I should have activated it yesterday! This sucks! I liked paying at 711 with my phone lol

The guys in the EVO forums says this works:

Go into build.prop and change these values:
ro.product.model=
ro.product.device=
to both equal this: GT-I9300
This makes your phone look like the Sprint galaxy nexus.
Reboot your phone and try to open wallet!
You may have to clear google wallet settings, I had to uninstall wallet and reinstall it after the build.prop change.
Hit the thanks button if this helped!
-------------- PS --------------
The reason I tried this is because I heard Google temporarily blocked the HTC EVO 4G LTE from accessing Google Wallet. I don't know the exact reason why, but this seems to work at least for now.

I did what you suggested and it activated, and my $100.21 was still in the prepaid card no problem. Here's EXACTLY what I did to keep out of the unsupported device also:
EDIT: REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS (but not HTC UNLOCK, which I do not have)
-Enable SuperSU
-Use ES File Explorer for root explorer (Settings->Root Explorer, give Superuser permission when asked) -> Mount File System (writable)
-Edit build.prop in /system folder as described above (make a backup also so you can revert after activation!)
-Disable root explorer in ES File Explorer
-Disable SuperSU in SuperSU settings
-Clear data for Wallet in Settings->Apps
-Reboot
-Open Wallet, log in
-Add prepaid card
-Close Wallet
-Go to Android Settings->Apps->Downloaded->Wallet and force stop (hoping to keep it from knowing about the next step which is enable SuperSU to revert build.prop and keep away unsupported device message.)
-Enable SuperSU
-ES File Explorer -> Root Explorer -> Mount System
-In /system folder replace build.prop with the backup I made (or just undo the changes manually if you like.)
-Disable Root Explorer
-Disable SuperSU
-Reboot
-Open Wallet and verify operation
-Profit!
Sorry if this is jumbled, have to get to work but excited that it is fixed and hopefully by reverting build.prop no strange behavior will result!
Thanks again jkt97401!

Just remember delete the original from system/app first then put this patched apk there and don't update. There may be other ways but this was easiest for me.

I am scared to use this cause we cant reset our current google wallet settings

Google Ears outside the US

Google Ears (like Shazam / Soundhound) is automatically disabled for Canadian (maybe other non-US?) Nexus 7 users, I guess because we can't buy music from the Play Store. It's in system/app, but it's frozen.
Titanium Backup will not allow me to unfreeze. I moved the existing apk and odex with Root Explorer and put this in it's place, set permissions, rebooted and installed. Works fine, but it doesn't stick around after another reboot. I can restore it with Titanium and it'll work again... until the next boot.
It's so quick in identifying a song vs Shazam. Any ideas?

I'm sure there must be an easier way, but it seems that converting it to a user app with Titanium after restoring does the trick.

It's disabled in UK too. I just set permissions using root explorer (rw, r, r), put the widget on my homescreen and it's stayed there through all reboots. Didn't notice any icon appear in the app draw though.

Strangely enough, it isn't disabled on UK Nexus S's (my friend has one, unrooted stock, I saw it there after he got JB update).

All I had to do was defrost with Titanium Backup.

I can't even get it to install .Works fine on my OneX side loaded the apk to the N7 and it just goes through the motions of installing then says failed

It's a widget, shows up as Sound Search. I'm amused at the propensity for Google to always have two possible names for one service... you never know for sure where something is going to show up in the app drawer / app manager.
Anyone having trouble may want to try the version from the Google Ears/Sound Search (From Jelly Bean) thread over in dev / hacking.

For users in Canada, Google has it disabled
use tibu to defrost it,
type this in terminal emaulator:
su
pm enable com.google.android.ears
then use this link to update it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ears
don't search, it wont work use the link. This worked for me.

[HOWTO] Remove SMS Per Hour Limit

As the tittle suggests this is a How-To in increasing the SMS/Hour Limit.
Some of you while sending a text might have had the following message pop-up.
View attachment 1262984
Sure you can simply click "Allow" but isn't doing that for every text message you send for the next hour frustrating?
Well, through a few hours browsing the Web and with the help of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626771 I was able to increase the limit, thus keeping the message from popping up.
There are two methods of doing this. One requires a couple of apps, the other is done using ADB.
Remember you MUST be rooted for this to work.
The Steps
Required Apps: Root Explorer, SQLite Editor, BusyBox installed, Update your SuperUser binaries.
For some reason people get the I/O Disk Error. I'm not sure what this is. Try wiping cache and davlik cache. As well as wiping the SQLite Editor data. I have never gotten this error.
Also people have been having issues with the values not sticking. Again I do not know why. I'm sorry. It also appears that this only works on 4.1 not 4.2. You can test it out it might work for you.
Also check out this thread featuring freezas method. That might work for you if this hasn't.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35652750
1. Open up Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db (It'll ask you if you want to open the database with SQLite or with the internal viewer, choose SQLite)
3. Open the secure table
4. Hit the menu key and select New Record
5. Under name type in sms_outgoing_check_max_count
6. Under the value type in whatever you'd like, I did 9999
7. Hit Save
8. Go back once and select the table system
9. Repeat steps 4-7
10. Now navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db
11. Open the table main
12. Repeat steps 4-7.
13. Back out the home screen and reboot.
If you have SDK installed on computer, it might be easier to run the commands from there. That way you could copy and paste the commands.
ADB Method.
1.Open Command Terminal
2. Type in adb shell hit enter
3. Type in su hit enter
4. Type in sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db hit enter
5. Type in INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count’, 9999); hit enter
6. Type in INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count’, 9999); hit enter
7. Type in .exit hit enter (you should now see a hash tag again instead of sqlite>. If not conitune typing in .exit and hitting enter until you are)
8. Type in sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db
9. Type in INSERT INTO main (name, value) VALUES('sms_outgoing_check_max_count’, 9999); hit enter
10. Again exit back to where the command line has a hashtag
11. Type in reboot and hit enter.

sms_outgoing_check_max_count needs to be in quotations as its typed in the op.

Do you have a method for increasing the recipient limit to more than 10 people on stock messaging app? I have to use Handcent to circumvent this, which works fine, just curious about the increase 10 recipient limit. Seems incredibly lame its capped at 10. Koreans must not have families over 10 people?

I have a program called SMS contest winner.... basically I try to win contests held by my local radio station... example one time its like text point to 62582 and be entered to win a trip to cedar point. Enter as often as you like. So I send out 50 or 60 thousand giving me better odds.. of course you can only win once every 6 months here so its not like I'm abusing the rules. I typically wait til its something I want to go to... last tickets won a few months back was 2 tickets to foo fighters using 47k texts to get the job done

Most custom ROMs have a workaround built into it. You guys should probably try out some other ROMs. I'm running paranoid android and I'm able to have more that 10 recipients.

This is the first thing I've ever done to customize my android. I got the idea after looking at Bleached45's posts as well as just generally being disgusted with the default options. This pack does not include extra conversation skins, it replaces the stock conversation skins. So be sure to keep a backup of your old LGUSMms.apk incase you want to go back.
INSTRUCTIONS
I shall not be held liable for any damage you do to your phone. I made these conversation skins for myself and I am sharing them as a courtesy to the forum that gave me the knowledge and means to create them. Back your stuff up and all that common sense rhetoric every disclaimer feeds you.
1.) Kill your messenger via stop process.
2.) Use a root browser with all permissions and go to your root directory>system>app, cut your LGUSMms.apk to a safe location
3.) Paste the apk you downloaded from my link into root>system>app and then change permissions to rw-r--r--
4.) Reboot phone
5.) I don't know if it's just my phone or the ES file browser I'm using, but it would sometimes take me several tries to successfully paste this into the apps folder. I went through some disconnecting from media sync and just the old "click this thing in there as many times and ways as possible until it works." - and it works eventually.

What would happen if I just replace this one with the one that comes with the phone?

divide by 0 and you should be set lol. are you saying to just not save youre old one? you could do that but if something goes wrong you wouldnt have a back and would have to ask someone to pull it from their phone. it more for safety then it is a necessity.

That's true. Well I followed your instructions and everything works fine. Thanks for the skins!

The one with tree is just beautiful! Thanks!

thanks for the skins! The only thing is i got confused on the path you posted, it should be:
Use a root browser with all permissions and go to your root directory>system>app, cut your LGUSMms.apk to a safe location
Paste the apk you downloaded from my link into root>system>app and then change permissions to rw-r--r--
and not "apps" Other than that worked like a charm!

Does this require the phone to be rooted, or is "root explorer" an app that lets one do root things on a non rooted phone?
