So with today's Wallet update, I was trying to get it working on my Nexus 7 tablet. For some reason, the update wasn't showing right away, so I found a Play Store link online. Surprisingly, it listed my Verizon Galaxy Nexus as being compatible. I installed right from the browser Play Store. It was sent to my device, and after a brief force close or two during setup, it is now running on both my Nexus 7 and Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

I am not rooted, but am unlocked. Stock 4.0.4. The only thing I do notice is that the Google Prepaid Debit Card is different on both devices, even though it's setup using the same Google Account (The Galaxy Nexus has a prepaid card that I added back in January with the correct balance, the Nexus 7 has a brand new debit card with 10 dollars pre-loaded on it).

Anyone else notice this? Was it just a glitch in the system that let me do this?

It still does not support the Verizon Nexus.

About the $10, I don't know if can call it a glitch or not. But google gives you the free $10 every time you activate a new device.
Call money market and have them transfer the balance from your phone to your Nexus 7 and you get to keep the $10 from the tablet.

It happened to me when I exchanged my nexus at verizon, I got $10 from my original nexus, and another $10 from the new phone.

Found a link to google wallet on the playstore and was able to install on Verizon GNex. Seems to be working fine, was able to put in credit card. Weird thing is the prepaid card shows $15 on my Verizon GNex and $10 on my Nexus 7.

Won't let me install it through the above link. :(
It is still giving me the dreaded: "This app is incompatible with all of your devices." message.

It's working

I uninstalled the modded apk I had before. Make sure to reset google wallet before uninstalling. The new wallet version released today does not use the secure element anymore, but you should clear the secure element just in case.

Google wallet won't show up on the device play market, but if you go to google play website and select your phone, hit install and it will automatically install it on your phone.

I'm getting the same thing.

I'm on Xenon HD, maybe it's only on certain ROMs? What are those of you who have successfully installed it running?

I installed it with stock locked unrooted Verizon GNex. It says "this app is compatible with all your devices" and lists "Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (last used ...)

Vicious 4.1.1 w/ Faux worked for me in the past but Team EOS on both the VZW Nexus and my N7 (both with Trinity kernels) won't list on Play through devices and will only show incompatible with all devices through computer Play store. :confused:

Went through the play store when I first saw this thread and it said my Verizon Gnex, completely stock, not rooted, was not compatible due to carrier limitations.

Just went back now and it let me install it... Awesome! Not sure what to say lol

I tried searching the store on both my Vicious 4.1.1 phone as well as via desktop, and couldn't locate it. it's just like it didn't exist.

However, i came to XDA to see if i could sideload it or whatnot, and found the link posted in this thread to the store. Clicked it, saw my phone as "compatible," clicked it, and 10 seconds later i was in business.

crazy.

I've been trying for the past few days, but even with the direct link to wallet on the market, I cannot install it on my stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus. I'm not rooted and not unlocked. Why do I suspect this is a mistake that they are trying to fix and they are busy making it unavailable to all again?

Had installed since January, but rarely used due to lack of AMEX integration. Just used at Home Depot and much to the surprise of the cashier the bill was paid. Followed by an alert email from AMEX to let me know there was a transaction without card being present.
Hopefully AMEX gets fully onboard so I don't have to have the virtual MasterCard.
