me too. Sadly after looking around on the net i found that it doesnt work. There might be a way around it once we get root. Can still use the NFC chip just not google wallet, yet. Tmobile and other carriers are trying to develop their own payment system.

I'd rather have Google wallet than some 3rd party app that is hardly established yet. Give it time, i'm sure we will see a hack or an official Google Wallet support. We have the technology in our phones to use the service, just takes time.

Ive been waiting for months for this guys, they are taking their time for sure.

Guys please be careful if this eventually gets working and you have the ability to flash custom roms. When going to a different rom you have to make sure to always reset the app from within wallet before flashing or else you could brick your nfc chip in a way that you can never use wallet again. It happened to me my second day owning my nexus.

This will let you non Sprint people use Google wallet I believe. Just read the instructions it can't be installed normally. It might require root I don't remember.

Probably a build.prop edit will fix it, but could break other things. It would work by telling GW it is a different device.

Has anyone emailed the developers of the app to see if they can fix it? I would assume it's just a case of it's a new phone and needs to be added into to the program.

Anything that accepts paypass.

This on top of "Samsung Apps" having a bunch of "Test Apps" for the ifrst 3 days shows they weren't at all ready for release... REALLY .. is it that different from Google Wallet? There are other apps that don't work
The NFC apps dont work at all - i just tried to pay my parking meter in SFO today with it - doesn't work (yes it is on).

I've had good luck with NFC

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).

Unfortunately there are lots of phones with nfc that don't have wallet support.
Carriers are making a competing solution (isis) , and Google is against rooted phones having wallet.
Put the two together and you get grid lock.

that's rather unfortunate. I'm on sprint right now, and I have yet to see this competing solution. I don't understand why carriers hate google so much
they are responsibly for like 80% of phone sales.
I wouldn't mind so much if isis was out already. But in the mean time at least let us have google wallet...

I too would like to know where this is as I have modified my build.prop several times with no problems yet. However my attempts at getting the apk from the store (excluding my failed side loading attempts) have not worked with several different "device options". -curious

I would think if you have tethered clockworkmod you could always use that to edit the file with ADB.

Thought this could do with a bit of a revival given new information and my own (admittedly shallow) scratching.
Google Wallet, for those who didn't know, requires a "Secure Element" to work. The Secure Element is a piece of hardware - it's a chip on your phone which stores your google wallet card and, I think, your account details (username & password).
AT&T, VZW & T-Mobile etc (but especially VZW) have stated that Google wallet violates their terms because the software requires a hardware element (the Secure Element) to work.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/1...e-wallet-says-google-needs-to-change-the-app/
In the above, they have stated that they will happily allow Google Wallet if they do away with the Secure Element requirement.
Interestingly, All the above wireless companies are banding together to create ISIS Wallet - their own alternative. The claim was that ISIS Wallet uses a special SIM instead of the Secure Element.
Fast forward to this week just gone. More details of ISIS Wallet have emerged. Namely this:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/19/3785538/verizon-isis-app-secure-element
Yes, ISIS Wallet seems to use the phone's Secure Element. Yet they're still stopping people from making a choice and installing Google Wallet instead.
Basically, it doesn't look like we'll be able to install Google Wallet on our phones legitimately any time soon (if at all)

so reading up on this nfc stuff i get excited to start using it. trying to find kiosks ect...then to find out if there are any i couldnt use it anyway

Well if you upgrade to Kit Kat rom you don't need this hardware (Secure element). Kit Kat should include HCE which no longer requires a secure element to use tap and pay according to this.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-wallet-updated-with-kitkat-nfc-host-card-emulation/
I'm using houstonn's KitKat rom and was able to download and setup google wallet, but can't get it to work yet. Not sure if the ROM I have is updated with HCE.

Google wallet now available for Verizon devices

For all of you that don't know yet. Today's Google wallet update is now available for vzw users.
I did read comments that vzw users will need a "smart sim"
Can anyone educate me on what a smart sim is?

Has anyone tried NFC payments with this version? I'm rooted and running a hacked older version of the Wallet app on my VZW GNex that still works with NFC, and I don't think the new features are enough for me to want to lose NFC.
Anyone?
Brad

You need a secure sim. Go to my Verizon and you'll be able to order one for free. It should ask you if you want one somewhere underneath your phone picture.
Unfortunately, vz still blocked tap to pay payments. So, right now, it doesn't matter what you have. I got a secure sim a while ago just to be ready when everything is ready to go.
If you have recently upgraded your phone at a vz store, you m may already have an NFC enabled secure sim.

Do you have some more info on this for me? I've used NFC in the past without issues using official releases from the store. Also heard of people with secure element errors. I've had my nexus and sim since launch.

Mine let me setup tap to pay haven't tried it yet though but is set up and supposedly ready.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (rooted/custom ROM) and it sets up fine for me. It doesnt say that my device isnt supported like the last version. The Tap and Pay sets up with no issues and under settings>about>Tap and Pay, it says "device is ready for tap and pay purchases." I havent tried making a purchase yet but everything seems to work fine so far.

OK, here's an update base on my experiments yesterday (9/18):
Non-rooted VZW GNex with new Google Wallet: NFC payment successful
Rooted VZW GNex with old (modified) Wallet: NFC payment successful
After these tests, I updated my rooted phone with the new app, but I have not yet tried it. All indications are that it should work (e.g. it says it's "ready"). Both SIMs are at least a year old and almost certainly not "secure SIMs" (is there any way to verify with the device?)
So, get the app and start making some NFC payments! It's great entertainment for the night crew at Whataburger and Jack in the Box.

I dont think you need a special SIM. People have confirmed it working already without it

So, ive had GW installed for a long time with an apk i got off here. Can anyone confirm that accepting the update google play is offering will not break being able to use nfc to pay?

Might try it tonight. I would probably disable before taking update being you probably have an unsupported version now technically.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I am running liquidsmooth and I can confirm that tap to pay is functioning properly. Just bought myself some grub at mcdonalds. I still have the same sim that I got 2 years ago with launch of the gnex.

Doesn't matter whether you have a secure sim or not, the API for the secure sim wasn't on the gnex or implemented properly.
Beamed from my Maguro

I remember when the gnex first came out and Google Wallet worked right out of the box!

I've been using the GW app from the APK I got here. I didn't need anything special because my VZW Gnex came with the secure SIM already in it. I installed the update and will try it later today.

I don't have a special sim and the version right from the play store works absolutely fine on my Verizon galaxy nexus including tap to pay. I've used it at the store several times already since the update. The secure sims are for Isis, not Google wallet.

Wallet works fine. PA latest toro release. Nfc tapped to pay at cvs today.

Isis Mobile wallet.

Verizon made Isis Mobile wallet available nation wide today and it supports all the newer android phones except the one. Even the dna works. Any ideas why the one was excluded and can it be hacked in at all?

What? The if the SE is in the SIM how can there not be one?

Isis DOES (DID) work on the One. I had it working a couple months ago, totally stock.
But apparently they updated it and it took compatibility away from the One. So now it doesn't work.
Not sure why they would do that...stupid stupid stupid.

I do not believe there is a way to tell. When I ordered my s4, I asked them for the NFC Sim because the customer rep said that i would need it for my wireless charging (I wasnt going to tell him otherwise!) And it looks the same as the other sims Ive had in the past. Since having the HTC One, Ive used the sim and it looks the same as the one that technically came with the phone

Here's an image from Google.
http://www.droid-life.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/NFC-SIM.jpg
Anyway since we have 2 methods of getting Google wallet working there is no reason to use Isis in the first place.

HTC One does come with NFC sim. At least mine did. (see attached picture) Plus, Isis was working for me when I first got my One, then all of a sudden it wasn't compatible. Very weird. I mean, it's not like I'm missing much, the only isis places around me are Coke machines... hah

For everyone having issues with ISIS and haven't seen already, you can now get Google wallet working with tap and pay which is a much better app anyway.

Weird...I have 4 phones on my Verizon account, 3 Galaxy S4, 1 HTC One. On two of the Galaxy phones, there's an option on my device manager page to order the NFC Secure SIM. There's no such option for the One. This seems to be consistent with what I'd read elsewhere on XDA, but if that's really a secure element SIM, then cool. I think I'll contact Verizon to see what's up.
Meanwhile, Google Wallet is working great for me. :good:

Thanks! I guess I should have searched a little before asking

Hmm...Google Wallet tap and pay works fine for me on the One. I too was told without the secure element it would never work. I guess my SIM supports the secure element as I use Wallet almost everyday. Of course, I'm not stock

So according to all the blogs, the small update the VZW One got was supposed to enable Isis support.
I updated, but Isis still says my phone is not compatible...
