Google Wallet work around for Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S2

Hi all, I just found a workaround so that we can get google wallet installed on our phone and get it to work as well. Here are the steps
1. Go to menu. Enable Flight mode
2. Enable wifi and connect to the internet
3. Go to the market and type in google wallet
4. You will see it and download it.
5. After download, EXIT OUT OF FLIGHT MODE BEFORE RUNNING THE APP.
6. Run the app and you are good to go.
I hope this works for you guys and any problems and comments are welcomed for discussions. Thank you all.

So does that mean he gets the bounty?

Google Wallet is on the market but this method doesn't work for me.

Doesn't work for me. I'm only running 2.3.5 though, stock rooted Telus

Hmm I still don't see google wallet even though I followed your steps

@ Thanks Meter 4. It did work for me. Maybe you didn't follow the steps right. Please go back and do it again. If it didn't work for me I wouldnt have posted it. And am not rooted.

Tells me its not available for my carrier.

How about someone just post the apk?

So a few questions...
1) Is your phone rooted or stock?
2) If rooted, what Rom & Kernel are you using?
3) If you phone unlocked (SIM Card Unlocked)?
4) Are you using your home WiFi?
5) Are you in the USA when you downloaded it?
I think if these questions get answered, all of us would have a better understanding of how you did it...
Thanks!

Managed to get it downloaded from the market.

When you start it, get:
Hardware Not Supported
How I got it downloaded:
Go to market.android.com from the phone browser
Stay in the browser when it prompts you to open the market app
Search for Google Wallet
Click the Google Wallet Icon
Stay on the browser
Click Install
Sign in using the browser
When prompted, open using the market app on the phone
Download should start

[Q] Samsung Contacts App Not Working

Hello,
On Saturday I flashed Clean ROM ACE 5.0 onto mine and my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 2's.
The one problem we're both having is that the contacts app stops working. (It worked fine for the first day for me and my wife's was good until today)
No amount of wiping and re-flashing is working.
Going to settings->application->all-> and then clearing the data in contacts and contacts storage doesn't work.
Even on a completely fresh flash of the rom, without installing any other apps or setting up our google accounts, we'll still get the message "unfortunately, contacts has stopped".
I've tried installing new samsung contacts apps into the system/app folder with rw-r--r-- to no avail.
I've even changed custom recoveries...
Strangely enough, 3rd party contact apps work, but I'd like to just keep the 'stock' samsung one if I could.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Changing recoveries WAS not needed too get a APP to work for you!!!
You ever think that it might be a bad download you had since you flashed the same room on both phones! And got the same results from both!
Anyway you can also access your contacts from the phone APP! Just in case you didn't know.. What I have set up on my Pie app to access the dialer/contacts... pic here:

I would start over fresh, since you tried flashing other Samsung contact apk. And everything else you were doing trying to get it to work! Might have corrupted your system..

Yes, opening up the dialer/phone app and tapping the contacts tab get the same result "unfortunately, contacts has stopped working".
Even, starting a text message and trying to choose a contact doesn't work.

I got the same message today but I know exactly why I did. Something changed or modified your google play services app. I am running ZoneROM - 09.17.14 - D85110M - DeODEX with G3 Tweakbox (the latest that was pushed out today) and decided to try one of the themes that the developer warned us may or may not work lol. Needless to say after a reset I got that message. After I uninstalled the theme and set is ALL back to stock and gave it another reset the message came back.
The only fix (that worked for me) was to dirty flash the rom and wipe dalvik cache and chache afterwards. Hope this helps!:good:

Yeah all this started after I installed the latest g3 tweaksbox and messed with the themes. I restored to a nandroid backup but the issue continues. Wtf this is crazy

This doesn't make any sense. I flash back to a much earlier backup and the popups come right back once i try to update apps in the Play Store

I am getting them to. Didn't switch anything up that I can think of..

I started getting this message when i switched to the google keyboard. Switched back to lg keyboard and it went away.

Ok is definitely the Google play services update is to blame. I did a factory reset. Everything was fine until I updated the Google play services plug in again. Instantly the popups returned

I had these issues until I disabled "Disable Location Consent" in xposed. It does not play nice with the new play services yet.

Thx. Now I can go back to xposed

I'm stock room and was getting that at every reboot. I was using Google keyboard. I deleted it and viola problem gone. Some people report SwiftKey doing that as well.

What is everyone version of Play services? I think I have updated to the incorrect version.

Help! Push notifications work half the time with certain apps

Issue after 4.3 Auto Upgrade:
I have looked through many, many questions on this forum group relative to push notifications but most do not have an answer (or reply). I had learned that developers must update their apps to comply to 4.3 notification process that is part of 4.3 (POS). Is that my problem? I don't know.
I have tried 10 different reminder apps that notify me of events I have created that repeat, are persistent and stick to the notification drawer, but rarely, if even do. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Other apps have similar behavior: one message comes through and 5 after will not. I am baffled.
I am rooted: Odin 3.09 root66 tar
Samsung Galaxy S III LTE
Any help is greatly appreciated. I do NOT have the funds to get a new phone and am stuck with the S3. Thank you in advance.

After doing tons of research on the push notifications, I have installed DynamicNotifications, removed any other lock screen app, customized DynamicNotifications and hopefully this will do the trick. So for anyone coming to this forum about 4.3 and push notifications issues .. take heed that you won't get a reply but try DynamicNotifications and uninstall any app you have that uses a lock screen. I was using CM Locker. DynamicNotifications has a built-in lock screen. You can read about the app in the Market/Play Store. I would also recommend watching a few YT vids on DynamicNotifications.

This app will help as well:

Could the notification problem be related to your rooted ROM? I'm not sure.

You might want to read the article I just posted.

I had a look at the article and noticed that it was published on September 9, 2013.
You must have a ROM installed on your phone; otherwise, the phone would not boot, no?

I rooted with Odin 3.09 and root66 tar. That's it.

Of course its from 2013. I am on o/s 4.3. That is when all the push notifications began to disappear. This is the reason:

Trust me, if there were a way I could get off 4.3 I would but I am stuck with the S3.

I am using PNF (root), DynamicNotifications, have checked the TCP timeout, and everything inbetween. Will have to do a factory reset next, but I've read that didn't help at all.
"In a nutshell, Google’s push notifications service work by making a connection on TCP port 5228 between the phone and Google servers."

The latest T-mobile NF4 ROM came out in October, 2014. You could move to a custom Lollipop ROM to see if that solves the issue.
The fact that the Root66 ROM is rooted may have something to do with the push notifications.
Looks like the solution may require changing TCP time outs on a wifi router.

Unfortunately, my Netgear genie does not allow for TCP parameter changes.
I will try a ROM change next but I cannot even tell you how many hours I have invested in this device since it auto upgraded to 4.3 - ridiculous.

have you tried a stock rom without root to see what happens?

I haven't. What steps would I need to take knowing I have root66? Speak in noob, audit

Download the latest rom from sammobile.com and use Odin to flash it.
Did you use Odin to flash root66?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

I did.
In another thread you had sent me a link for firmware for my device. I've attached the screenshot.
So I really don't want to brick my phone Are you thinking I should find a new ROM, install with Odin, or revert back to stock? I am lost on what to do now.

I can't find the source but I've read that this is the cause. I would update if you haven't and see if the drain ceases.

I need a bit of help here. I "unrooted" via the Super SU app. Rebooted, tried to update. Still failed. I also have lost root. Super annoying. Is there anything else that the updater is expecting that i haven't restored???

I have the same problem and can't update. Bl unlocked and rooted

You both need to download the full factory image. Then edit the flashall.bat file and remove the -w to save data and apps. That will flash everything except data and apps.
Then re TWRP and re root.

So i finally got around to doing this today. Removed the -w from the flash-all.bat. it wiped the device anyway:
Also, search for updates, says it's up to date already with security patch level: December 5, 2016. Clearly this isn't the case. So frustrating..
.
Are there any good roms that do away with this auto update garbage?

January 5th is the latest update, you're still one update behind. Any ROM will do away with the OTAs. The 2 most popular out right now are Dirty Unicorns and PureNexus. I ran both on my 6P and while very different, both are top notch with awesome developers. I'm still somewhat convinced it's a background OTA process since you're not on the newest patch. Also go to settings-google and make sure nothing is stuck trying to sync in the background. If it has completed all checked syncs, it will have a time stamp.
