Note II on T Mobile

Does anyone know how I can use Google Wallet on my note II using T Mobile? It's not rooted and I've already have an account because I used to use it my my rooted AT&T Galaxy Nexus.

Can you send a pic of your card added? Does the app give an error message after loading a card?
I had it on my galaxy S 3 and reset it in the app and followed these instructions but still couldn't get it to add a card properly. What did you do different? You're the first person in the thread with a T-Mobile note 2 and this working properly.

i'm with you on this. i would LOVE to use Google Wallet. i know it'll happen soon, so its just a matter of time until its possible.

WTF!!! isnt this illegal for the to block since they are trying to "monopolize" so that we have to use their sh!t(ISIS) they are not allowing competition so that they can implement their own payment system whenever they get it ready???? :mad::mad::mad:

sorry this has bugged me since i got my first note. and i know its been covered... i feel much better now. :rolleyes:

I did not have to add cards through the wallet - I already had two cards attached to my Google account - one through Play Store and forgot how I had added the second. I think if you add one through the store, it will carry over to the wallet.

Also, I think they might be able to be added through their webpage. Go to Google Account/products(set up your wallet account here if you don't already have one)/wallet/payment method and add a card.

When I go through the setup of wallet, I just skip over the add card step as they are already there.

UPdate - I was fooling around with it an tried to add another card to it and it indicated an unexpected error and then my other cards also showed that. i want through many variations of modified wallets and wallet fixes, so it will be difficult to find the path I took earlier - should have left it alone.

hey op. pull the nfc.apk and the nfctest.apk as well...might be the missing link
I looked at your zip and you don't have those... that is something I had to add to verizon roms and then later other carriers as well.
if that doesn't work, then you need to get the "fixes" from a sprint rom (like we do on the sgs3) as sprint compiles with everything enabled (because they support wallet)

good luck, hit me up if you need

Those apps are already included in the ROM - would the Sprint ones be different (enabled)?

Using the S III as a model won't necessarily work here, as Wallet was working on my S III with similar "fixes" as here, but not so far on TMo Note 2.

I tried using all the sprint files the nfc.apk will make our nfc disappear in settings. There is a forum in sprint general saying gwallet isnt working for them either. I could be wrong but if they do get it working im sure we could also.

I tried pushing the NFC.apk and NFCtest.apk from the N7100 with no impact. they went in successfully, but there was no change in Google Wallet.

B3ltazar, what files exactly did you push to your Note from the Sprint variant that caused problems?


pushing in the NFC/NFCtest apk's from a SGS3 causes bootloops or missing NFC from the settings. (atleast from the I9300 variant, i didn't try the US variants...)

Nfc.apk nfc.test lost nfc settings. Then i searched for any file thwt had nfc in it found 3 more in system ect still nada i was trolling the sprint forums and it seems noone has gwallet working yet same with n7100 is that true?Im sure once anyone with a note 2 can confirm working gwallet we can do the same but i dont know of any rom on any varient having it work correct me if im wrong! Is our chipset lacking the secure element?

    Another EDIT as of 7/12/13. go here for additional info/How to do it.

    LINKY

    EDIT: GO HERE FOR WORKING GOOGLE WALLET. DO NOT DOWNLOAD CWM.ZIP INFORMATION BELOW IS FOR INFORMATIVE PURPOSES ONLY

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031127

    If you've been trying to run Google Wallet on your USA variant Note II you've probably ran into some problems. like this one..

    "Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)."

    why is this happening? check HERE for more detail.

    But for the sake of keeping everything together in this thread..

    Ok, first a little background

    basically what you are seeing if you try to install google wallet on at&t, tmo, etc, is you get stuck on "activating device"
    If you dig a little further and ran a logcat, you will see that there it no "SMX detected"

    What this means, when compiling the rom you need to enable SmartMX in the config headers located in the external/libnfc-nxp library. (thats why it works on CM9, they do this)
    this is impossible for us because there is no source for samsung's TouchWiz. We got a break on the international sgs3 as the latest update has the secure element enabled...so does the sprint sgs3

    So, All i did was rip a handful of lib files and whatnot out of a International SGS3 (I-9300) and push them onto my Note II. and viola! you get all the ways to the point where you actually try and add the card. then things go downhill.

    ZFmuul.png


    you can find information on people having the same problem we're now stuck at HERE

    all you need is a rooted Galaxy Note II to flash the zip. must be running Touchwiz. should work on all US and International variants (providing it has an Exynos4412 in it)

    Should go without saying, but this is my first CWM zip. it's been working fine for me the multiple times I've tested it. but you're on your own if you have problems. And i'm not responsible for damage.


    NOTE: in my experience it doesn't matter where you get the Google Wallet APK from. I modified my build.prop to match the Galaxy Nexus and got it from the market. also tried the modified Modaco one from HERE with no change.

    I've got mine to work, I'm on cmenard's 4.1.2 rom, I did not flash anything, here's what I did:

    1. I've downloaded my zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031127
    2. I changed my build prop to emulate galaxy nexus;
    ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
    ro.product.name=yakju
    ro.product.device=maguro (Got this first 3 from at&t forum)
    ro.build.product=maguro (i don't know if it made any difference, I saw it had t0ltetmo name so i changed it)
    3. I rebooted by phone
    4. Download wallet from market:
    -I got my card added then reset the app, when I tried to open it again it always forcecloses, then I tried to clear data, force stop, install and uninstall, finally restored my nandroid back, changed my build.prop again, and install market from the market, I got forceclose message everytime and tried to add my account, then here's what I did next,
    5. I deleted wallet app from /data/app
    6. I copied the wallet app only from the zip file to /system/app, I did not copy anything else, just the wallet app and changed permission to rw-r-r
    7. Open the wallet app from the drawer and finished all the set up, added everything,
    8. Rebooted the phone again, opened wallet app without any issues
    9. Reverted my build.prop back to original
    10. Rebooted my phone
    11. Went to CVS and had a transaction
    - edit just saw the transaction after few hours
    5
    if you're on the recent stock 4.1.2 from tmo do the following:

    0) go and disable your device in wallet.google.com if you already set it up before.
    1) grab the following from jedix rom
    nfc apks from /system/app
    nfc lib files from /system/lib and /system/lib/hw
    nfcaccess xml file from /system/etc
    2) find the same files on your current rom and back them up.


    3) install xposed installer, launch xposed installer and update to latest 2.1.x
    4) install the modaco xposed mod for wallet
    4.5) go into xposed framework and enable the mod that was installed

    the xposed mod is so that you can use the wallet from the market. if you dont want that then use the premodified apk and move it to /system/app and risk using an apk that you dont particularly know what has been modified.


    5) change your build.prop so it looks like a nexus
    6) reboot
    7) copy the files from the jedix rom and overwrite the ones you have on your phone. (modify permissions so they match the other files)
    8) install wallet from market
    9) reboot into recovery and delete dalvik and cache then reboot phone back into android
    10) launch wallet wait for it to initialize and then setup.
    10.5) you'll get emails from google when it's successfully setup.
    11) restore your build.prop so that it thinks it's a galaxy note ii again.
    12) go spend.

    has any tried with stock 4.1.2 with the LTE update?

    I'm thinking stock tmo rom libs and apk are not compatible. just moving the modaco apk to /system/app does not work.

    Can u give us a basic easy method pls

    Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

    For jedi x roms or any 4.1.2 (i tried it with cmenards 4.1.2 rom)

    1. Download the modaco google app from here thank him. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35057332
    2. Copy the modaco app to /system/app using root explorer, i used es file explorer
    3. Change the permission to rwrr, for es explorer long press on the app, next to permission press change, under the read column, check all boxes, and the write column, check the user box, press ok, your permission will look like rw- r-- r--
    4. Modify your /system/build.prop to emulate nexus using rom toolbox or text editor; quoting from the verizon forum:
    ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
    ro.product.name=yakju
    product.device=maguro
    5. Reboot your phone
    6. Open google wallet app from app drawer and go through the setup, it takes a while to setup so be patient and wait. Go through the setup until completed. You will receive an email the you have successfully activated google wallet.
    7. Just to be sure reboot and open your google wallet again make sure everything is working,
    8. Revert your /system/build.prop to original
    ro.product.model=SGH-T889
    ro.product.name=t0ltetmo
    product.device=t0ltetmo
    9. Reboot your phone again and try it out.
    I think CVS and mcdonalds dropped Google Wallet for ISIS, so far I managed to get it to work in rite aid, radioshack, staples, jamba juice, office max, and those vending machines with paypass. Weird thing is sometimes transactions go through immediately without punching my pin especially with paypass vending machines even though the app will ask you for a pin code. Transcations are usually not updated everytime you make a purchase but google will email you for every transactions that went through.
    Footnote, for troubleshooting find heart_crafters post. Thank him also. I think its on page 28ish.
    Final note, go show your iFriends what they are missing. I have a friend the brags how classy and elegant his iP5 is and the its features that can store ticket, shoot panoramic display, do not disturb and retina display until I showed him my Note 2, its tap to top feature, wave to preview, message to call, and, what made him admit that his latest and greatest phone is nothing compared to our beast, Google wallet.

    Suggestion...

    I'm using CleanROM on my AT&T galaxy note II, and I flashed the zip provided by Warlock. When I run Google Wallet from Google Play, it force closes while setting up. What am I doing wrong?

    Sent from my Galaxy Note II

    This is part of the confusion many of us are having. He has threads started in each of the respective carriers GN2 forums. Too many people posting in the T-mobile forum about their Verizon and AT&T efforts and its really starting to get chaotic and almost impossible to follow what is correct for our device here.

    I would like to propose that if Warlock knows how to get this to work on our T-mobile devices that he or anyone who has been successful, start a new thread and detail the instructions and links to necessary files in the OP. This [DEV][WIP] has gotten so convoluted with links back and forth to verizon and at&t forums and so many people writing in about those other devices in this thread...it's impossible to follow.
