From what I understand so far, there's no real NFC payment solution for HTC One Verizon
- Google Wallet needs a secure element which HTC One on Verizon does not have
- ISIS doesn't install on my phone, says not compatible
I saw this article on Android Police, does it mean when Android 4.4 Kit Kat comes out (Jan-Feb) we will be able to use Google Wallet because there's an emulation workaround for the secure element?

Could you show a recent receipt of a payment made on the HTC One, from today onwards?
Has anyone tried the new google wallet on a 4.3 Sense ROM? I know there are 4.4 Kitkat AOSP roms out there but I was wondering if anyone successfully paid for something using Android 4.3...=)

I followed that and was able to successfully make an NFC payment with Google Wallet on a 4.3 ROM (Viper ROM and VanirAOSP). There was a vending machine where it did not work, but I suspect it was because it was ISIS exclusive.

Because the HTC One is still incompatible with Google Wallet, except for some specific variants, and some random outliers.It'd be interesting to see if you're one of those outliers, so I'd like to see proof of a recent payment made via Google Wallet on the HTC One.

Nah its the modded Google Wallet that makes it so anyone can use it.
There are lots of phones that are technically incompatible with Google wallet...like ALL Verizon phones. But that's what xda is for, people have modded it to be able to work. Modded Google Wallet works on HTC One, as well as other vzw phones.

I posted a screenshot of a receipt for an NFC purchase I made with my Verizon HTC One with Google Wallet a few posts back. It CAN be done.
I have used Tap to Pay on 4.2.2, 4.3 and now 4.4 with no issues using the modified APK. My phone did come with the NFC enabled SIM. My understanding is some don't.

You can't mod out a hardware requirement.
This is what's happening: Sprint versions of the HTC One have a hardware secure element. It would seem that Verizon variants also have a hardware secure element. This makes sense since they're both CDMA variants, so it's perhaps a cost-saving exercise via reduced production lines. That's why all the reported cases of modded versions of Google Wallet have come from Verizon subscribers.
However, international variants of the HTC One do NOT have a hardware secure element. They can't currently make payments with Google Wallet, no matter how hard 'devs' try.
The introduction of 4.4 brought support for payments without a secure element via HCE, but this is currently only possible with Broadcom-based devices. The HTC One is NXP-based.
As far as I'm aware, until Google updates the Android 4.4 code base to support HCE in NXP devices, GSM variants of the HTC One will be unable to make NFC payments via Google Wallet. They'll be able to install the application, and it'll claim that Tap and Pay will work, but payment terminals will simply not recognise the phone.
If somebody with a GSM variant of the HTC One can post proof that they've successfully made a payment with 4.4, then that would mean that HTC/NXP/Other manufacturers have collaborated with Google over the past few weeks to get extended HCE compatibility into Android or their builds.

Well, this is the forum for the Verizon HTC One. If you're asking about any other version other than the Verizon version, you're in the wrong forum.
Google wallet works for Verizon HTC One. That's all I can tell you. I don't know about other carrier versions, as, again, this is the Verizon HTC One forum.

Hi there,
Is there any NFC Apps that i can make use of the NFC hardware, i downloaded a few apps from the play store, but it seems like all they do is read the tags. How about replacing my contactless credit card that my phone can read to use my phone as the card?
Any idas guys
Only people I know that are doing it right now are Orange together with Barclays. The One X isn't supported however as you need their special app which isn't loaded on the phone and doesn't appear on the market.
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/contactless/overview
Apart from Orange+Barclays, nobody else seems to be doing it. There are plans for a joint NFC wallet system from Orange + Voda + O2 but nothing has happened yet.

thanks for the info, i thought as much but wasnt sure.

I am using the HTC Amaze, NFC tags from buynfctags.com and the NFC Task Launcher App.
With the NFC Task Launcher App, you can program the tags to do one single task or multiple tasks all on 1 sticker. You might need to get NFC Tags that can store more data (like the NFC tags with the NTAG or 1K chip).*
I've tried creating tags to turn my phone to vibrate and turn off wifi and tags to do the opposite. I even have tags to set my alarms and open up my Facebook App.*

If you want to go a stage further you can combine this with tasker.

NFC Task Launcher seems a great idea.
But if you use tags in public places (say to automatically connect to a secured customer only network at a coffee shop), I can think of numerous potential security issues.
At the moment the only use for NFC tags for this phone is for your own purposes. So you could stick one near your bed...and in your car and things like that to automate daily tasks.
I am sure in the future you will be able to use it to pay in places like Starbucks or McDonalds, but its not quite there yet.
I think there are also plans to embed NFC tags in posters in train stations etc so you can wave your phone at it, and get some publicity on your phone.
I had some Xperia S tags so I tested the One X with them just to make sure NFC was working.
Here is some more info about reading and writing NFC tags. The purposes are endless. So much cool things you can do!

That's interesting. If it's working so well, I don't understand why they didn't just release it with NFC. Now I've been left with a negative view of the application, as well as many other people (check all the reviews on the Play Store). As it is, the application doesn't realistically provide better options than Pingit. Launching with NFC would've made O2 the first company to officially enable NFC payments on a Android phone in the UK, but now that's not so sure.
Speaking of which, are you using the HTC One X to test it? Or the Galaxy Nexus? Also, I'm curious about if O2 are using the embedded secure element or the UICC. Did you have to get a new SIM card for NFC payments to work?
Just to confirm, have you tried paying for items outside of your office, in McDonald's or Greggs for example?

Actually, the future is almost here. Google Wallet works like a charm outside the office/house
Not only that I paid a McDonalds menu & a pack of cigarettes, but I also did it in Romania, a European underdeveloped country
Head over Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S forums for more "success stories" regarding GW and NFC payments.

Yes, we're aware of that - I've used Google Wallet many times myself. There's no equivalent service in the UK; we were talking about the O2 Wallet.
My bad. I was reading in diagonal
Lol you like glasses? right to read ><'
Some cool ideas:
1) Put a tag in the car mount, match with Tasker to enable Bluetooth for handsfree and disable WiFi without draining battery via location sensing...
Profit!
2) Sew a tag in your jacket pocket. When no tag has been in contact for 10mins consider it stolen and enable Prey
More ideas?
Wallet
Google Wallet is great and with a rooted phone you can definitely use it on almost any device. I have the CDMA (Verizon) Galaxy Nexus and it works just fine. Anywhere they have the quickpass mastercard scanner thing. You see it as a little pad on top of the credit card reader. Anywhere you can scan you credit card without swiping you can use wallet.
You get $10 free from google for using it, the only problem is unless you have a certain mastercard, you have to load up money to a google gift card from another source ahead of time to use wallet.
It's not that big a deal since you can do it from your phone. It has a pin for protection to keep you secure, in case someone scummy enough to steal a phone has the mental capacity to know what google wallet is.
Has anyone used it with the screen off or while the app is closed? I have only used a few times and both times I'd already typed my pin. If you do it with the phone screen on but haven't opened wallet, it asks for pin right?
It's scary the first time you use it, I almost didn't believe it would work, but it DID!
I was curious if anyone has tried using Samsung TecTiles with their HTC One..
I haven't played around with NFC yet, and saw these for sale at my local AT&T Store. I know I can order tags online that would work, but I'm just curious.. I read things online that said they would work, and other sources said that they won't. I believe they are MIFARE Classic 1k, but admittedly have no clue what that really means. Like I said, I have zero experience with NFC, and was curious if anyone has had a chance to play with them from an M7UL.
If you use a different tag or whatnot that you would recommend, I'd love to hear about that too, as well as what cool stuff you crazy guys have cooked up or hacked together with NFC...
Thanks!
Tested not very much, but works
Works. Used with NFC task launcher
I got some on sale, 5 for $1, and they work fine with the HTC One. I assume they are being cleared out because of incompatibility with the Galaxy S4 which needs NTAG203 tags.

I wonder if it's related to the rom... I flashed Viper One to my phone this weekend and Isis doesn't play nice anymore. In the play store it said it's not compatible with my device. Installing from my titanium backup just blows up when I try to open it. So it works with the hardware, it works with Kit Kat, but it's now not working on a non stock rom. Does anyone here have it working on a rom that's not from Verizon?

Not accurate, based solely on that. It was working for me on the NOS ROM with Sense 5.5.
I recently upgraded the battery to a 3800 mah battery. I understand that the battery does not have an imbedded nfc antenna. Will this effect the function of the google wallet app?
Thanks for your help.
Yes I believe so, need NFC to use wallet tap to pay I'm pretty sure.
I think some company does make NFC capable big ol batteries like the one you got tho.
The NFC chip is located within the battery. Without that nfc will not function.
I haven't used Gwallet for a while though so I do not know if anything has changed in regards to how it operates. I know when I used it it NEED NFC to work. Don't know if that changed

Google has blocked the galaxy nexus from using wallet. People have been searching for a work around although none have been found yet.
I suspect the only way we may ever regain functionality is through the 3.4 kernel. It's still got a long way to go. The Devs involved in the porting process have hit a hiccup in getting the display working.

Android pay will never work, no NFC chip on board. I'm tying to find where you see paypal works? Don't be confused by paypals in application purchase and actual live tap to pay. I don't see anywhere that paypal generates bar codes which would be one way to pay in person, so if it uses NFC with this watch it's a no go as well.
Found some additional info on the paypal system. Right now only some samsung watches and pebble have the app that will allow the watch to use the low energy becons to connect with bluetooth. Only the watch is needed and does not have to be connected to a phone. This also lets us know right away some type of app will need to manage the bluetooth connection with the low energy becon, if you find a store that has one?
"When a customer walks into a retail area that is covered by a PayPal Beacon signal inside, they will receive a push notification on their smartwatch."
Actually it's been confirmed that the Huawei Watch DOES have an NFC chip, it's just not functional yet. It has also been confirmed that Android Wear 2.0 will enable that chip and therefore allow us to use Android Pay with it.

Your first source cites your second source, so it doesn't really count. If you follow the citations of the second source (and the subsequent citations from those articles), you eventually get to an article that simply states that NFC will be enabled on watches that have it. Neither source presents credible evidence that the HW has an NFC chip.

The Android Wear 2.0 update will bring a redesigned UI, optimized performance, Google Assistant, customizable watchfaces with Android Wear’s “complications”, and best of all, the update will enable the dormant NFC radio found in the Huawei Watch so it may be used for Android Pay.

Oh hey! That sounds great! They even provided a "via" link so we can see where they got their information! Let's follow that:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Andr...-Huawei-Watch-before-the-end-of-March_id91964
Oh hey! Look at that! This source also says the HW watch has an NFC chip! And they also provide a "via" link so that we can see where they got their info! Let's follow that too:
https://www.androidheadlines.com/2017/03/huawei-says-android-wear-2-0-hits-huawei-watch-march.html
Oh...wait a second. The term "NFC" only appears once in that article, and it's in this sentence: " With Android Wear 2.0, users will get access to a handful of new features that include things like Google Assistant, Play Store access so they can install apps right to the watch, and Android Pay support for those watches that have NFC." That doesn't tell us anything revolutionary now, does it?
Gasp! A retelling of a retelling of a retelling can get distorted? Who would have thought?
So in conclusion, what you are using as "evidence" that the HW has NFC are claims from two sources that claimed to have received their info from a source that doesn't mention NFC functionality in the HW specifically at all. Just that it will be enabled in watches that have the chip, which is news to no one here. Therefore, your sources do not support your claim.
Verifying sources: it's not just for scientists and students anymore.
And yes, I read English very well.

Yeah, sorry, no, you read that wrong. It happens.
Would be so cool if it was true.
BTW, I've seen your responses so I'll tell you now, "I'm letting you know, I'm not asking you."
Huawei Watch micro does have NFC support but the watch itself lacks of a suitable antenna to use it (as far as I know the WiFi one can't be used for that purpose) so no... we'll never have NFC on our first generation Watch and all rumors you can find on the Net are distorted news taken from unreliable sources (or, maybe, Huawei propaganda to justify the shameful delay in releasing the final Wear 2.0 update).

Oh hey! That sounds great! They even provided a "via" link so we can see where they got their information! Let's follow that:

Oh hey! Look at that! This source also says the HW watch has an NFC chip! And they also provide a "via" link so that we can see where they got their info! Let's follow that too:

Oh...wait a second. The term "NFC" only appears once in that article, and it's in this sentence: " With Android Wear 2.0, users will get access to a handful of new features that include things like Google Assistant, Play Store access so they can install apps right to the watch, and Android Pay support for those watches that have NFC." That doesn't tell us anything revolutionary now, does it?
Gasp! A retelling of a retelling of a retelling can get distorted? Who would have thought?
So in conclusion, what you are using as "evidence" that the HW has NFC are claims from two sources that claimed to have received their info from a source that doesn't mention NFC functionality in the HW specifically at all. Just that it will be enabled in watches that have the chip, which is news to no one here. Therefore, your sources do not support your claim.
Verifying sources: it's not just for scientists and students anymore.
And yes, I read English very well.

Actually, these people say they got the statement from Huawei direct...
Huawei confirms the original Huawei Watch has NFC and Android Pay is being tested on it
Not making any judgements on the accuracy or otherwise
Just got a answer from HuaweiGermany.. the Huawei Watch definitly don´t has NFC built-in.. so more speculations about this and Android Pay are not neccessary

I'd trust that source over the ones that were presented earlier. "I heard it from Huawei" is a little more convincing than "I heard it from another article that never actually said it."

Then again, raider2k9 above, just heard from Huawei in person that there isn't any NFC. I think if there was an NFC chip in there it would definitely have come to light in the tear downs.
This should clear up any confusion - http://www.androidcentral.com/huawei-watch-nfc-nope
