Sprint took away google Wallet today?

[stu5797]

I tried to use google wallet and is says unfortunately your carrier or country is not set up for google wallet. (or something like that)
Any one else have a problem today on Sprint?

Sprint is probably doing this because of the launch of their own Google wallet equivalent service

Doubt it. There has been talk of axing Google Wallet. Perhaps Sprint is preparing for the removal of the service.

I'm getting really irritated by all the changes sprint is doing :S hopefully they will stop before I decide to change carriers. I been with them for over 8yrs now and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling that way

Go into build.prop and change these values:

ro.product.model=
ro.product.device=

to both equal this: GT-I9300

This makes your phone look like the Sprint galaxy nexus.

Reboot your phone and try to open wallet!

You may have to clear google wallet settings, I had to uninstall wallet and reinstall it after the build.prop change.

Hit the thanks button if this helped!

The reason I tried this is because I heard Google temporarily blocked the HTC EVO 4G LTE from accessing Google Wallet. I don't know the exact reason why, but this seems to work at least for now.

I did what you suggested and it activated, and my $100.21 was still in the prepaid card no problem. Here's EXACTLY what I did to keep out of the unsupported device also:

EDIT: REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS (but not HTC UNLOCK, which I do not have)

-Enable SuperSU
-Use ES File Explorer for root explorer (Settings->Root Explorer, give Superuser permission when asked) -> Mount File System (writable)
-Edit build.prop in /system folder as described above (make a backup also so you can revert after activation!)
-Disable root explorer in ES File Explorer
-Disable SuperSU in SuperSU settings
-Clear data for Wallet in Settings->Apps
-Reboot
-Open Wallet, log in
-Add prepaid card
-Close Wallet
-Go to Android Settings->Apps->Downloaded->Wallet and force stop (hoping to keep it from knowing about the next step which is enable SuperSU to revert build.prop and keep away unsupported device message.)
-Enable SuperSU
-ES File Explorer -> Root Explorer -> Mount System
-In /system folder replace build.prop with the backup I made (or just undo the changes manually if you like.)
-Disable Root Explorer
-Disable SuperSU
-Reboot
-Open Wallet and verify operation
-Profit!

Sorry if this is jumbled, have to get to work but excited that it is fixed and hopefully by reverting build.prop no strange behavior will result!

Thanks again jkt97401!

I got mine working simply by pushing someone else's modified apk to system/app .. I'll find the link and post when I get home. You just can't update the app or it breaks

Just remember delete the original from system/app first then put this patched apk there and don't update. There may be other ways but this was easiest for me.
