Does anyone have a way to get Google Wallet on this device? I've tried downloading a modified .apk, moving ot to the /system/apps folder and rewriting the permissions, but I always get an "Application Not Installed" error with no explanation as to why. I'm rooted and willing to go to a new ROM if necessary.

Unfortunately Wallet isn't included with it and it's "not compatible" according to the Play Store. It Is, though, Isis Ready, not that I would use the carrier product over Google's.

i tried and it didn't work.......even tried modifying it to look like a sprint phone (most notably the galaxy s3 since i know that build.prop edit works on my s3) and that didn't work either
I tried to edit the build.prop for the RAZR HD to look like a Gsm gnex, but it didn't work. I'm not sure if I did it right though, but I probably did it wrong, so that would explain why. What would I have to do to change it to look like a gnex?

Nothing has worked so far, so I can't help lol, was just inputting my trials as to what I did to try to get it to work...only other idea I can think of off the top of my head is to install a modified apk file of Google wallet but can't even guarantee that will work because someone already said they tried and it didn't work for them

Beamed via NFC through the local store to the internet from my SGS3.

Well this is disappointing...I'm considering upgrading to this phone and I'd want to use ALL of the NFC capabilities. :rolleyes:

I'd really like to see a work-around for this!

Be patient. NFC implementation is still pretty immature. You'll find more uses for it by the end of next year.

I would love to use Google Wallet on my phone. I used it on my Nexus 7 but I feel too silly holding up my tablet to a terminal... If anyone can help I would be very appreciated.

What about the XT925 (the GSM version)...has anyone managed to get Google Wallet working on that? It's actually very easy to use in my town and I'd love to be able to do it again.

From what I remember it is nearly impossible right now. There are old threads about it but something about google digitally encoding the app to a certain phone or something

new info

I DL and installed Google wallet apk 1.1 r57v5
Side loaded it and the install went thru
I have and NFC sim and Isis installed on my RAZR HD w/o root
It will install with this apk version, but it won't work. At app launch I get an error about it not being approved for my country or device / carrier. This is very similar to the error I got when try to open Isis before getting the NFC sim.
I'm very new to this but I'm hoping I've stumbled on something someone who has a more technical understanding of this issue can build on.

Google Wallet want the secure element in the phone not on the SIM. VZW won't give anybody access to the secure element in the phone.
So unless Motorola writes software that talks to a secure element that is on a SIM, forget it.
