Google Wallet and the T-Mobile Galaxy S2?

I can't seem to get a straight answer about this, anywhere. What's the deal with this phone, and Google Wallet? Why don't they work together? Is it because of Custom ROMS, root, even the carrier? Is there a workaround for any of these issues? I've been dying to try it, but it wont work. I may not exactly be in the right place, but this is the last place I can think of asking.

The Galaxy S2 has nfc but it doesn't have the secured element.
It's missing the hardware needed for Google wallet and as such it will never work on the s2.
With that said.. As us with the sgs3 found out.. We have the hardware but Google tried to lock us out.. Good things devs found a work around and now Google wallet works with sgs3 even on carriers banned from Google..
But for the sgs2 and skyrocket.. You're missing hardware needed for Google wallet..

So it's 100% impossible to use it? No work-arounds or anything?

Nope.. And never will be.. It's lacking the hardware needed to run .
That's one of a few reasons I sold my sgs2 skyrocket and got this

Google Play carrier billing

I don't even have the option to use carrier billing. It asks for a credit card but that's all. I checked online and my phone isn't listed in my account. And there is no way to add a phone. It's odd because about a week ago, my phone and one credit card was listed and now they are gone and it doesn't even give the carrier billing option when purchasing apps. Any recommendations?

I don't have it either. I'm on the latest AOKP, FYI.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

At least I am not alone. Lol. Maybe when and if we ever get the JB update, that will take care of it.

Check with customer support
Visit AT&T booth for quick customer assistance.
You should run stock TW ROM when you do that.

lol Im stock not even rooted and I dont have that option either.. before on my one x it was there. maybe it will pop up at a random time. lol

I'm completely stock as well. I didn't have this issue with the one x either. Im gonna run by the att store on my way home and see what they say.

Up until a week or two ago I didn't have the option either, but then randomly it became an option... didn't do anything. Kinda weird, perhaps att just started recognizing the i747 as a compatible device or something

Anyone Yet?
I just switched from Sprint to ATT and was able to bill to carrier with no problem on sprint...Now that I have att I don't even have that option which sux...Just wondering if anyone figured out if it was even an option or they have it on theirs??

When I was on at&t, after a few days, it started working by itself. Now that I am on Verizon, it simply doesn't work at all after two weeks. I don't even have the option. And Google hasn't responded to my emails.

Yooo this is the weirdest thing ever. I got this email saying there was a reply, so I checked it and it was your reply. So after I was done I went into the play store randomly like I have Been and what do u know? Not only was the option there but it was working. I made a purchase. I don't know why or how but it was there. I did nothing new or different. Strange but I'm happy!!!!

I noticed they say you can't be on wireless to pay with carrier.
"You must be using your carrier’s network (3G/4G), not wireless."
Tried this, still no option. Tried deleting cache, no good. Deleting data & cache, no good. Tried uninstalling play store updates & it automatically reinstalled updates to version 3.8.17, still no option to pay by carrier.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I have the option for carrier billing. I have it checked but it still bills my cc. oh well, usually apps are less than 5 bucks.... If I can't pay that with my cc/debit then I don't need to be buying apps anyway. Kinda makes me think about buying a 25 cent lollipop with a credit card.

My situation with carrier billing is a bit different. I wanted to take advantage of the 25 cent app sale, so I selected the carrier billing option. The Play store tried to process the purchase, but returned a communication error message. This happened several times over the course of 3-4 days. I felt extremely silly charging 25 cents to my credit card, but at least I was able to do that.

T-Mobile GN2 Update Needed From The Start?

Looking to get the Galaxy Note 2 from T-Mobile today, however can someone confirm that it doesn't have this 'multi-task' sifebar? Wasn't this some type of OTA update recently from Samsung to add this functionality to the international versions?
Is this something we're going to have to wait six months to get?

Most service reps have no clue about any update. I am sure Samsung will get this out soon if not we can always get it via root.

I expect 1-2 months. After that something is wrong.

Talking about recording and not capture. Capture works, but recording doesn't. I have literally tried every combination to see if it works and also searched the tutorial on it. It doesn't work for me. My wife could care less though she enjoys the phone.

Those are two heavy features for me in buying the phone. I really like the size and the stylus, but multiwindow and screen recorder is what sold me. I will buy the Nexus unless the next update enables both features. They have a month for me to get the cash after dropping 700 for my wife to get this phone.

Sadly something like that I shouldn't have to root for. If it is advertised I should have it on my device without having to root. I actually prefer not to root because there is nothing rooting does for me since 2.1.
Also I don't think it's a copyright or patent issue. Sony has open sourced their screen recorder and contributed to the open source community. So Samsung could use that much like CM has done for theirs.

You are so correct! There really is nothing i can think of that can talk be into rooting my GN2. I know, I know, CarrierIQ is a bad thing, but I'm now at the place where if I root my phone, I will loose the ability to use my new best friend which is the ISIS app. I'm one of the few individuals who live around the Austin Texas area, which is one of he cities that ISIS has rolled out. I have been depositing funds in my ISIS account, and using it for purchases like gas, and groceries. If I was to root my phone, I will loose ISIS, and the ability to watch movies from the Google Play store.

You can opt out of CiQ. It's on page 346 of the user manual. It doesn't specifically state that's CIQ, BUT that's what CIQ does for T-Mobile. CIQ isn't as bad a people think or claim. Due to HTC's bad implementation of the software given to them by CIQ they got a bad rap.

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).

Has anybody tried Wallet an a stock phone (non-rooted, bootloader still locked, Sprint Optimus G)? Pretty much the first thing I did was root the phone and load clockworkmod so I'm not really sure if it has something to do with that or if it just never worked.
