Google Galaxy S4: Google Wallet? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey guys, something that has popped up in my mind is whether or not the Google version of the S4 will support Google Wallet. If the variant is the same as the T-Mobile S4 SGH-M919 (rumor) and Google supports Wallet won't the device be officially supported? Just some thoughts.

I was thinking the same thing. However, Google may not "support" it for devices not running AOSP ROMs. Meaning, the apk will prolly just need a quick tweak to it to allow it to run on TouchWiz ROMs. Thats my gut feeling.

Good thought indeed.
I should suppose that the Google S4 will support Google Wallet. I can't imagine they'd have a better platform to push this service.
If the Google S4 is the T-Mobile variant, I can't imagine why we wouldn't be able to flash that ROM over our devices, with the inclusion of Google Wallet.
June 26 is the release date, Suppose we have to wait until then to find out.

It will be because it is not the carrier variant..the hardware is same as the the T-Mobile but it will have a different model number.
Google wallet works fine on the Nexus 4 and similarly it will work on Google edition S4. T-Mobile or any other useless carriers will have zero influence on the device. They can all go and f*** with their carrier variants.

Any updates on this? I want google wallet on my S4.

There are ways to get wallet working

I've seen the tutorials and threads on getting it but they all require a custom ROM. Is there any way to do it with the stock ROM? I am rooted.

Wallet on CyanogenMod?
I switched to a GE ROM from Cyanogenmod just for Wallet and a more stable camera. Does anyone know how to get Wallet working on CM10.2? I'd like to go back to CM but I want Wallet to work.

What I did to get this working is I used the build.prop from the Nexus 4 to make Wallet believe it was a supported device. Build.prop can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993208
Make sure to have wallet uninstalled, make a NANDROID, and backup your build.prop before you edit it and then change it using root explorer or root browser. Change the
ro.product.model to Nexus 4, the ro.product.brand to google, ro.product.name to occam, and the ro.product.device to mako. After that follow the directions starting from step 2 from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282892
I tried changing it to sprint like the thread suggested but had no luck 3 times. Decided to try the Nexus 4 instead and worked the first time. Then download the latest Google Wallet app and you should be able to set up tap and pay. After following the second thread and installing Xposed and the Google Wallet patcher, either edit your build.prop back to tmobile or simply restore the backup you have. Make sure you set permission to rw - r - r. Reboot and enjoy using Google Wallet everywhere it's accepted

Wallet not working on JB

So, after flashing JB and playing with it for some time I downloaded the Google wallet apk. When I wanted to install it, it asked me if I want to replace a system app. But I didn't have it in the app drawer. So I installed the downloaded apk, but it still doesn't show.
Additional info:
*I am not in the US
*I have market enabler
This is a preview build, certain things aren't going to work right.
I was able to set up wallet just fine on my phone w/ jb.

Just running a stock deodexed UVALH2 Rom with the custom sammy kernel.
It installs fine, but once I open it tells me "This app is not certified to work in this country" or something along those lines.
But i guess if i change the device in build.prop, it would fix this? What should I change?

Does anyone have wallet working on the tMIUI Rom?
I think tmobile does not support it at all. When I had my nexus never worked anywhere. I called Google they told me there is no transactions made by me at all, I made so many transactions but always was denied for no reason. I though I have defective phone. when I got my gs3 I tried the modified one and had the same problem. So I gave up.

[Q] Google Wallet

With the latest update for Google wallet, can I update it thru the market or wait for a modified apk? Also I've seen multiple threads on how to install wallet on the S3. One way being for touchwiz ROMs and another for AOSP ROMs. can anyone point me in the direction for the AOSP install? I've tried with touchwiz and it didn't work with all the threads. So now I wanna see if there's a specific way for AOSP.
my touchwiz version worked great. I am now on AOSP and hopefully can get the newest wallet and tutorial on the install as well....i cant find that specific technique either.
I'm using Paranoid Android ROM which is CM10 based and I followed instruction on this thread to get my Wallet working on my SGIII without any problem.
I also used that thread when I was on TW ROM too... for AOSP based ROM, just don't install the lib&nfc fix

Not all OTA's work with the Google Wallet patch. For example:
I'm still running the very first UVALEM firmware with the OTA UVALH2 Radio/Modem. (I'm rooted, thus I was able to install a different radio)
I choose not to download any firmware update because I like Google Wallet that much, and because I don't care much about the Brightness Slider.
Has anyone found the newest hacked wallet apk? I think it was updated yesterday? also I read that if you want to add cards you have to change your build prop to Galaxy Nexus or HTC jewel, add the cards, reboot, then change the settings back to normal.
I read that the wallet doesn't work on LH2 ROMs. Does that mean I it won't work on my AOKP ROM?

Thats just your baseband. You can change the baseband to whatever you want. When they say it doesnt work on LH2 ROMs they are talking about stock.

It's posted on that section but it shouldn't hurt to try it since you aren't flashing or fiddiling with anything for different devices. All you are doing is just setting the permissions for the app APK. You might also have to change the build prop to the nexus or any device that wallet supports, just in case.

Well if you would have clicked "learn more" you would know that it only says that because you have a rooted device. It doesnt affect the usability of the app at all.

This woked for me on Frosty JB
I'm on Frosty JB V5.
Initially I tried the below steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
I was able to get wallet installed and add cards. And then I started getting the "unfortunately, NFC service has stopped" errors whenever I opened the browser, gmail, play store and some other google apps (not all).
Then I reverted back to my nandroid before wallet and tried the below patch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921233
Here are the steps that worked for me:
Change build.prop (I used Galaxy Nexus)
Reboot to recovery
Flash the patch JMJellybeanWalletFix.zip
Flash com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r79-v5.zip (from the first link)
Restart. Go to play store, search for google wallet and make sure automatic update is off. Or else it overwrites the app and it doesnt work anymore.
Open wallet, login and add card
restore original build.prop and reboot.
I still havent used it to purchase anything. But atleast I've got the thing up and running.
Thanks I'll check it out and report back
Edit: I'm on codename android and when I change the prop to nexus settings it works, but when I go to back to original it says it's not supported but the carrier/network
any idea why?

Trying the search button would be a good start.
i read an article last week (can't find it now though) that said google was making wallet available in the entire US, not just certain carriers. i clicked the play store link in the article and for the first time Wallet showed up in my t-mo play store. i clicked it and it said it was not compatible with my phone.....? i backed out, went back to the article to finish reading it, came back to the play store and google Wallet was gone. can't even find it in a search. weird.
i tried the extensive way to get wallet on the phone, changing the build.prop, and nearly bricked my phone. I am just going to wait for the official app.

Google Wallet update

I noticed there's a new version of the wallet app, and from the looks of it, the app itself loads on more devices now because Google is using it for more than just tap and pay. Problem is I don't know if this affects the workaround to get the old versions working (changing the build.prop and using the xposed module)

The update may not have been pushed to you yet. The latest update enables Google Wallet on all Android phones.
I would assume you could still install it with the mod/workaround just like older versions for NFC support.

Well seeing as how our phone does not have a secure element chip, we fall under the "Non-NFC devices" category. The app will work for other methods of payment.

The new T-Mobile SIM cards with the chips in them are only for ISIS. As far as making a "mobile" payment? No. We can only send payment via email with the app. I'm sure they have plans for more integration with other services and other payment methods in the future. It seems to me that if you can send money via email, you should be able to use NFC just like PayPal does, but I guess that's up to Google.
So we still probably need the older version if we want to tap and pay

Tmobile atnt and verizon are backing isis, an upcoming competitor to google wallet. So they have not allowed it on our phones..
To clarify, with the new app you no longer need a patched apk or xposed mod. You do need the libs in the flashable zip. You also need to do the app setup while your build.prop is the nexus or sprint values. So some of you have to redo the setup with a modified build.prop (clear data or reinstall to redo the setup)

This worked for me as well. It didn't give me an option to "tap and pay," using the Sprint build.prop. I had cleared Wallet data and reboot but nothing. When I switched to the Galaxy Nexus build.prop, once I reset Wallet and rebooted, I was able to get wallet going, my pin was already attached to my email, which Wallet gave me an option to choose from.
From there, I was able to set-up tap and pay and pick my default payment of choice.
I also noticed a much more lenient "lock" time for Wallet: immediate, 15 minutes, 1 day. I guess if you're running a custom ROM, be sure you don't select "screen on, locked" option for NFC.
I haven't had a chance to use it, as I'm already home for the night, so I'll be testing tomorrow and reporting back.
Has any of you Wallet users been having problems before this new update? Mine suddenly stopped working at CVS and McDonalds, but I can still read and write NFC tags.
I too was missing the tap to pay section after the latest update.
To get it back I uninstalled the latest update then rebooted. Upon reboot the original Google Wallet wouldn't activate.
I then changed the build.prop to the settings in the thread on how to initially install it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383251
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
I rebooted and Google Wallet activated. I then went into the play store and let Google Wallet update itself. I ran it to verify that I could see the tap to pay section then modified the build.prop back to the defaults for the Tmobile SG4. and rebooted.
ro.product.device=jfltetmo
ro.product.model=SGH-M919
ro.product.name=jfltetmo
After this reboot I can still see the tap to pay in the latest version from the app store. I will test it at a 7-11 where I have used Google Wallet previously tomorrow but am hopeful it will work properly.
Hope this helps someone else.
