Use market helper to change your device id to a nexus 4 and then try using google wallet to do nfc payments

I believe the new update only allows us to transfer and receive funds via Google Wallet only. I attempted to make several transactions using Google Wallet without any success.

It is AT&T(and other carriers) plus the retailers blocking it, why do they block it, does not harm them.

I have a feeling it's because it doesn't support NFC Secure Element, that's why the new Nexus 7 2013 Tablet doesn't support NFC via Google Wallet-

7. What is the secure element?

While not all NFC applications require security, those that involve financial transactions or certain mobile marketing applications (e.g., coupons and loyalty) require a “secure element” within the phone to securely store applications and/or credentials (e.g., financial account numbers) and provide for secure execution of applications.

The secure element (secure memory and execution environment) is a dynamic environment in which application code and application data can be securely stored and administered and in which secure execution of applications occur. The element resides in highly secure crypto chips (usually a smart card chip). The element provides delimited memory for each application and other functions that can encrypt, decrypt, and sign the data packet.

The secure element could be implemented either by a separate secure smart card chip (currently implemented in most of the NFC-enabled mobile phone pilots), in the SIM/UICC (which is used by GSM mobile phone operators to authenticate subscribers on their networks and maintain personalized subscriber information and applications), or in an SD card that can be inserted in the mobile phone. The secure element implementation approach will be selected by the mobile operator implementing the service and/or by the payment service provider (for SD card implementations).

It looks like banks in Asia are supporting NFC Transactions on the OGP though-

Mobile payments are still more of a novelty here in the US, until that changes not much will change on the mobile payments front. One big participant in the ISIS Mobile Wallet (what AT&T, T-Mobile and others are behind), Capital One just pulled out of ISIS, a big player leaving ISIS like that could kill it.
