[Q] accidentally uninstalled nfc..

I have the verizon galaxy nexus and i somehow accidentally uninstalled nfc.. Last month i tried installing one of the hacked google wallet ports for the nexus. I installed it through the clockwork recovery, and made sure to make a backup before doing this. That version of google wallet didnt work right, so i just deleted it with root explorer. When i found out that google wallet can now be installed from the market, i immediately downloaded it to try it out, but every time i tried to open it, it would get an error. So i went to my backup and attempted to copy the old nfc files back to the system folder (i/e: NfcGoogle.apk and com.android.nfc_extras.jar), but that failed to work.
So any ideas on how to fix this and get nfc working again?
Im kinda new to android as a whole, this phone is my first smartphone. Im hoping this is a simple fix and i dont have to to a factory restore or anything. My phone is rooted too if that helps, and I still have the google wallet files i intalled too.
The attachment is a screenshot of what my wireless and networks menu looks like.
Any help is appreciated

"Secure Element Not Responding" ?
If that's the case, sorry, you need a new phone.
You shouldn't have installed any hacked Google Wallet in CWM.

It said that when I had the nfc files from the hacked google wallet..but with the old files it just says "unfortunately, wallet has stopped" ..and I know that now, at the time I just found the easiest guide to follow for installing it though.

Damn
Sorry man, you borked NFC.
You might be able to use it again by flashing back to stock images, but you won't be able to use Google Wallet again, that's for sure.
If you can, try to get an exchange

Huh oh well , I guess ill just give up on using nfc..its not too important to me. Its just too bad I won't be able to use a feature of the phone.
@samsuck Maybe I will flash the stock images sometime this weekend and see if that fixes anything..hopefully it will bring back at least some nfc functionality. Oh and I'm pretty sure its too late for me to exchange phones 0.o

He clearly stated what he did, and that he used an old method that caused harm to a lot of phones. That's not it.

MLB at Bat '12

It's not available for the Galaxy Nexus right now, I'm guessing it's a 3.0+ compatibility issue. Has anyone tried getting the APK to work on their Nexus? To be clear, I'm not asking for the APK, I just want to know before I buy it on my vibrant to transfer over.

Would love to know this also. I sent an email to their help desk ([email protected]), but have not heard anything back yet.

I was able to install on my old ERIS and backup with titanium backup, then restore to my verizon nexus. It works. I tested with the LITE version; don't want to buy the full version if its not going to work.
Can't extract the LITE apk, by the way, it's set up like a paid app.

I am also interested in this. App is "incompatible" with my DroidX, but I was able to download it to a regular Droid. Not sure how.
Editing the build.prop file also did not help.

Oh and the Google wallet trick of opening in the phone browser then selecting market app doesn't work either. Just days item can't be found

Correction
Correction to my previous post: Editing the build.prop file DOES work. I successfully changed from a DroidX to a Droid3, and was able to download and install from the Market.

I was able to download the app from the market on my galaxy nexus no problems. Runs smooth. Go jays go
Using AOKP 27 rom if that makes a difference.

Ruh roh, might be incompatible with 4.0.4 roms then. Ho hum. Go yanks!

Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and bought the app on my rooted Samsung Vibrant, sent the apk to my Galaxy Nexus and it works perfectly. Well the app does at least, I'll have to wait for a game to see if the streaming audio and stuff works.

Works off amazon
I too could not see it in the market using liquid rom....it did show up in the amazon app store however...working fine now

It was updated today. It's compatible with the GNex now.

What are you running? I'm on stock 4.04 CDMA version and it still doesnt show for me.

I have been able to install with no problem on 4.02 and 4.03. I haven't tried 4.0.4 yet.
If you have a paid MLB.tv subscription you can access everything for free by installing the MLB lite version. After you log in, it unlocks the paid subscription version. It states that in the MLB At Bat 12 description.

Doesn't work on 404 but works on 403 confirmed

What did you use to rip the apk? Would like to put this on my tablet to.

Works fine on 4.0.4, it just does not show up in the market on 4.0.4.
I restored a 4.0.2. nandroid backup, installed the app, backed it up with Titanium back up, restored my 4.0.4. nandroid backup, and then installed it with Titanium back up.

Same here. Btw, in years past they update that app fairly regularly at the beginning of baseball season, so you'll want to be on a 403 ROM to get updates without having to nand every time.

I've been having the same issue. I downloaded gapps from the above link, but still no love. I seem to get one of two outcomes depending on the wallet versions I install. I'll either get something like "Setting up Wallet. Can take up to 5 mintues" and then it says my device isn't fully initialized OR it'll get past that and then error when adding the card. Anyone found a fix yet? Tried on CM10, AOKP, JellyBeer etc - no luck.

Same issue here. I think its something to do with our hardware. Also if I use the wallet app in the play store everything works but when trying to add card, request failed. I also noticed that about section says Google secure element version not present. A quick search revealed that the "secure element" may have been soft bricked thus causing the request failed error. Further research also shows that it can be fixed by removing your device from wallet using a PC. Then remove app, reflash. I haven't reflashed yet as I have far too many customizations. Someone try this and let me know
I am in aokp and using above gapp package says unable to start wallet device not connected after 5 mins and using wallet from play store doesn't allow me to add cards.

I was getting the same error. I contacted google wallet support through email and after a lot of back and forth, they got it working. I don't know what they did but there is a fix. Here is the response I got from them;
Hello,
I apologize for the delayed response. There have been some new updates in regard to your issue. These steps should help in resolving the
issue. If you have already taken these steps, please do so again. Can you please reset the device? You can do this by navigating to app
Settings > Reset -OR-- by navigating to the Android system Settings >Apps > Wallet and select ‘Clear data'. Then, reset the app by logging
into wallet.google.com/manage, disable your device then set up your
account again.
If this does not solve the issue, please inform us so we can
troubleshoot further.
Now, I have run through these steps probably 30 times, with no success. I flashed back to stock and still nothing. That tells me that they have finally figured it out. Funny thing is I RMA'd my phone and the day that I got notice that my new device has shipped, they got it working. Anyway, thought I'd post for others who have probably been pulling their hair out trying to get a fix for the app. Help is on the way (probably)

I have consulted Google support about the card adding issues this is the official response.
Hello,
Thanks for your email.*I understand that you are having issues adding cards to Google Wallet mobile application on your device.*I can see here that you're experiencing a known bug which prevents your device from being able to add your cards to the Wallet app, which we are actively working on. If you have not already, I recommend resetting the Wallet app and trying again periodically while we attempt to resolve the issue.*
Thanks,
April

Secondly I responded saying if they can follow up with me should there be any updates on their end she said to keep an eye out on an official wallet update which Google appears to be working on!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Please look out for version updates as well to the Google Wallet application which may resolve your issue.
If you have any additional questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.

Now I don't know what's the deal with the gapps included wallet, or the one provided by roman since it won't even initiate but I recommend you guys try the one on play store. That one worked for many people despite having root! Just keep trying every few days! Its good to know that my device isn't hosed.

Well its not AOKP, read google's official response on the message above yours, just need to wait. It appears these issues are affecting lots of Nexus 4 owners as google is aware of it (it is not a rom issue or hardware issue) we just gotta wait until the next wallet update I guess

[Q] Google Wallet

does anyone have the latest Google Wallet apk? I found R87 floating on the net, but when I install and launch, I am told that it needs to be upgraded. I am on Verizon and rooted. I have run this app in the past without very many issues, but haven't run it in over a month. Any help appreciated.

After receiving the message that my version v1.5-R87-v15 was out of date, I was directed to the play store where I learned what the new version was but couldn't access it because because of the Verizon blockage. I have succeeded in finding the new apk and restoring Google Wallet by installing v1.6 R96 v13; however, my first install failed to function.

They have to select paypass/paywave as the payment method, they probably don't know what you are doing and did not have the reader activated..

This worked for me although this thread has the newest wallet and used it on my latest ROM change. If you change ROM's make sure you go to settings and reset google wallet app before you leave old ROM. Some are saying it will break Wallet if you don't.

Same setup - should work on T-MO.
Just an update about the new 4.3 GPe: External SD Card is readable when you plug it into your PC. The camera however still does not read the SD card. All else is still functioning.Version 4.3 will break root! All versions of SU currently do not work with 4.3. Just keep that in mind.
You can flash this over your current 4.2.2 Google Edition. If you're coming from TW, do a complete wipe, then flash. Thanks
____________________________________________________________________
No - I did not grab the system dump myself
Yes - I have tested this for the TMO variant and it's fully functioning
I did create a Youtube Video on how to install the Google Edition S4. Check it out!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmYpkJ27WAM
Althought it's not a ROM built from scratch or a project of any kind, it is a rom all in itself straight from the S4 GE

Installed using TWRP 2.5.0.2.
Was notified Root was not installed, told TWRP to install it for me.
So far, seems fine! I miss the "long press back to kill app" feature, but I can live without it as I play with this ROM.

Thanks for the link! After flashing this ROM will all software/firmware on the phone be identical to that on the GPe handset? Or are there any other bits that aren't contained in the ROM?

I'm wondering that too. This is stable? Wipe system/data/cache and flash?

I did a wipe flashed and then had to reboot to get WiFi
going,other than that so far so good .feels smooth,but it could be a placebo effect not sure

Not a problem. After flashing this direct port, I've noticed that my Model number changed to GT-I9505G, but my baseband remains the same (MDL), As it appears, everything is fully functioning from that of the GPe. To be clear, no errors, force closes, or mis-haps have occured.

I'm not sure wi-fi calling is known to work even on the real GPe, is it? I thought it might be specific to TMo/TW ROM somehow. I guess only GPe reviewers know at this point.
I was referring more to general wi-fi capability, I saw some guys saying that didn't work with the GPe system dump on TMo handset.
