Carrier billing option in the Google Play Store? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I went and tried to purchase Kainy from the Play Store and it said the phone doesn't support carrier billing and made me add a cc to Google Wallet in order to pay for it.
I didn't have this problem previously, I'm currently on the latest update 4.1.2 (June 2013 release with stock injected root).
Anyone else notice this?

I always had a cc on file to use the Play Store. I didn't know there was another option.

I'm also on the latest stock md1 firmware with root. I don't have a problem paying for my play store purchases with my tmobile bill.
In fact, my all access was just paid along with 2 apps I just purchased a few minutes ago. I never use my credit card on my Google wallet account.

Apparently it was that particular app, Kainy

I've been having this problem for almost two months now. It started by declining my purchases made with my T-Mobile account with an error code [BM-CPE-16] then it declined me without the error code. Fast forward to today, it gave me a pop-up message saying it was trying to verify my mobile phone account, then decline me to then telling me it couldn't verify it and to try again later. Now the carrier billing option is gone altogether. I thought it was because my GS 4 was rooted, but my sister's phone which isn't rooted at all has no carrier billing option either.
I haven't been in contact with Google Play/T-Mobile today, but over the past couple months I've been in contact off and on with them and they said it's some sort of tecnical issue or something between the two and they are working on getting it resolved, and they had no official time frame as to when it will be fixed. I may bug them tomorrow though just to seen if this is a T-Mobile wide issue. Hope that helps you a little bit?

New problem with Market

Hey everyone,
Ever since getting my phone in early october everything has been great. But just recently, I can't connect to purchase games/apps from the market. I can download something that's free no problem, but if it costs money, as soon as I click on the buy button, it says "attention: a server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and try again later." It never works at all for the last few weeks.
My connection is fine. I downloaded 3 free games today alone (and plenty others over the last few weeks). I update all my apps constantly. Everything is stock including the original sd card and I'm not rooted (yet). But ever since these last 3 weeks it won't get to the screen where I get to choose my payment method.
One more note, this started a few days BEFORE my market got updated to the new version of the market. It stopped letting me buy stuff first, then upgraded to the new version of market and still doesn't work.
Oh and also I've tried rebooting, I've tried force stopping the market app and I've cleared the data/cache of the market in app management.
Pleeease help... there's a couple apps and games on sale right now that I want!
Thanks
Dave

Just thought id let everyone know that I finally figured it out!
For all the people out there posting about this same problem, here's the solution:
Log in to your google checkout account (on a computer since you can't from a phone) and re-add your credit card information... fixed it instantly. Yes I already had a credit card in there that was still good... and I had my t-mobile account in there to bill, but apparently something stupid went wrong and it thought I had no billing options available and instead of giving a worthwhile error message it just said "network error"
I fixed it. Your welcome google. Send me something free now please

Secure Element Prevention?

Okay, so I've become increasingly paranoid of the SE error that's been plauging various Nexus's over the internet. What I can gather from these is that the phone was either:
1.Not properly wiped between ROMs
2.They tried restoring Google Wallet from a backup
3.They flashed the App from the ZIP/APK (Unofficial)
4.They used a preinstalled version of Google Wallet on the flashed ROM
So, now that we can officially install Google Wallet from the Market, do you think that it should be safe to switch between ROMs? I used Google Wallet on my first GNex and it's been one of the best parts about this phone. I would really not like to lose this functionality on a device I dropped $600 on...
Yeah, thing is when you "reset" wallet to flash a new rom it locks you out of prepaid. Some chuckle-head with creative fear mongering has got the bloggers excited over some security crap. If I lost my device I would be more worried about my device that the Happy Meal they could buy at McDonalds with my prepaid card!

So how do you flash a new ROM without getting locked out of your prepaid card?

you don't. at least while google gets its **** together (properly in a few weeks).
Wait, it only locks you out of prepaid? Not the Citibank and total Google Wallet functionality?

yes only prepaid. afaik citibank works fine.
If you get the "secure element is not responding" error you're dine with Google wallet until you get a new phone. I'm in that position and that's what Google and Samsung told me

well i dont know if this has been found out before, but here is my story
i got the hong kong nexus gsm back when it came out here in dallas tx. flashed it to stock google yakju. i used the wallet app apk and everything worked great. when the update came out it stopped working.
go to settings, apps, all. go to wallet, clear data. go to google account manager, clear data. go to google services framework, clear data. once u do that go to about phone check for update. it will have some weird 1969 date. once it checks open wallet and now it works. only thing is pre paid error when adding card
so i flashed to the new takju and same thing. followed thoes steps and same thing.
as far as i can get with wallet

Wallet issue

So I'm having trouble getting Wallet setup on my Galaxy Nexus...works fine on my Nexus 7.
I can setup the app, but when it says 'setup required' under the card, it always fails to add card. See attached photo.
I've tried resetting the wallet app. I've restored to stock, flashed factory images. I'm unrooted. Can seem to get this fixed. Any advice?

I have the GSM version...
So I called Google Wallet. They told me that the UNLOCKED GSM Galaxy Nexus is NOT SUPPORTED to run on Google Wallet! The new app makes this so. ONLY the Sprint version of the phone is supported! This can't be right can it? Two guys in Google Wallet support said this, including the manager. Any advice? Is this really true?
I'm running it just fine on the unlocked gsm with at&t, don't know what to tell you

GSM should be supported despite what they said.
Beamed from Maguro
I use it on unlocked GSM on T-Mobile.
Right! I know. So I'm getting this error I posted about whenever I try to setup. Makes NO sense whatsoever. I've reset my phone like 10 times and doesn't work. Tried adding different cards, etc. Tried to setup without my sim card inserted even! Still no go.
just set mine up. GSM unlocked phone from google. Unsupported Device Policy message on top of screen during set up. Set up went ok, it picked up my card number automatically. "Learn more" next to unsupported device msg linked to message:
"Some users may disable important security mechanisms in order to gain system-level "root" access to their device. We strongly discourage doing so if you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with unatuhorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be limited."
After setup it starts and appears to be functioning, but nothing to try it on. Still has the unsupported device msg also.
Unlocked and rooted my phone, running stock 4.1.
So some of you have actually made purchases with wallet? I have tried at different stores like Best Buy and Home Depot and it connects, but won't let me make my purchase. I have that $50 from buying the phone I need to spend, but can't get it to work anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?
Me too, on Sprint rooted phone

I just got off the phone with Wallet specialist. He said Wallet would not work on my Galaxy Nexus that I unlocked and rooted. I am running the stock Jelly Bean, but alas, no Wallet. I might as well uninstall it. Bummer.

I think the Wallet guys have no clue what they are doing, support-wise. It's a massive fail imo
Just installed Wallet on my unlocked, rooted Galaxy Nexus. Everything went fine. Credit card added with no problem. Says I'm all set up, but haven't used it yet. I get the "Unsupported device" message but I'll believe that if and when it fails. Note that if you have certain parts of Google apps frozen, uninstalled, or blocked with a firewall, Wallet won't install. PS: Take anything a sales rep says with a grain of salt.

Google Wallet for Note II

I recently found that Google Wallet is available on Google Play, so I installed it.
When opening it says that my device is not supported. I thought I had NFC, what gives?
Has anyone gotten Google Wallet to work with the Note II?
NFC is carrier dependant. I don't believe AT&T has approved that on their network.

google wallet is carrier dependant and is not supported even though we have nfc. ATT Verizon and tmo are all pushing for isis not google wallet and isis is in trial in texas and arizona. There is currently no way to enable it on this device because the secure element is locked.
I was in Austin about a week ago and they had a lot of isis billboards around town. They are definitely shutting out google wallet for isis. It seems wrong to me to do that to Google.
carriers want a piece of the pie thats why. that is the ONLY reason they are doing this

You are right but Google Wallet is nto carrier dependent, it is not dependent on any carrier. But partly correct.

Yes also partly correct, Carriers have disabled Google Wallet in attempt to push ISIS, probably a contract deal.
I re-tweeted a comment I came across a few weeks ago on twitter to try and make some noise on this issue. I think if you want wallet, you should craft your own or retweet this.
accept @googlewallet on your devices @ATT , quit the anti-competitive blockage for @PayWithISIS. @FTCgov @TheJusticeDept

I actually already tweeted similar today, in response to an att tweet about ISIS. ATT supporting ISIS is one thing, forcing us to ONLY be able to use it and nothing else is another. Its ridiculous.

So it's been confirmed that there is a secure element for the NFC on this phone?
When I first got home with my Note II, I was using some native application, and a pop-up occurred that asked me did I want to setup a Google Wallet account. I remember being really happy to see that. Being stupid, I chose not to do it, because I didn't know if it was the exact same Google Wallet found on Google Play. Just wanted to make sure. So I declined. When I attempted to install the app from Play, that's when I got the incompatibility message others got. And so far I haven't seen the prompt to setup Google Wallet from my phone, again. I wonder what would have happened had I tried it that way?

Google wallet is the name of the "method" that you use to pay for Google Play apps (but it isn't the Google wallet app). It probably asked you that when you setup because you don't have a credit card associated with your Gmail account.
Just a guess.

That's exactly the case. I wish google had as much pull as apple when it came to OS specific stuff. The carriers have to much power
Just a quick "thought" when they got the 4g lte spectrum werent they told they are not allowed to block certain apps to not be allowed to be used on their network? If i remember correctly verizon just got super sued for that exact reason.
Wasnt the secure element on the s3 by porting from the sprint version?

also, if goggle wallet needs carrier support, why did my Gnex work with wallet on ATT? if we got an AOSP rom, would wallet work on that? im just starting to learn about the permissions this app needs and how it authenticates
My friend has a rooted aosp note 1 on at&t. He can install Google wallet but it won't run. Its blocked by At&t.

How to change Play Store to US Store?

Long time ago I used to use "Market Unlocker" to do so, that eventually stopped working. Then I used VPN Apps that used to work flawlessly until recently. I'm on takju 4.3 rooted with Play Store 4.2.3. Is there any successful method to do so?
My VPN still works for me.

Google seems to use a combination of factors to decide which store to show you both on device and on the Web, including IP and SIM card of all linked devices, billing addresses and others. I find it difficult and unpredictable - occasionally my account shifts to USA for a day or two and then back to Canada.
