Hi guys,I searched the forums but cant find a a post retaing to the problem im having so I hope this is in the right area. I just rooted my S3 last night had no problems. I installed google wallet following the instructions that are in these forums,I followed them to a T cleared my caches,flashed the 2 files (the apk,and nfc,lib fix) and changed my prop files. Everything installed perfectly,I could add my credit cards and even when I log into google wallet acount online I can see I have a device connected to my account. My problem is when I go to use my pay pass it wont work,I tried it with my phone unlock on the homescreen,I tried it with the google wallet app open. Nothing! I tried 5 different stores today thinking maybe a pay pass terminal was broken but no of them responded. I know my NFC still works because I can still use my tectiles cards. Am I missing something? Or need to flash another file I missed? Any help would be great thanks.
Im on ATT running stock rom with clockworkmod.
You most likely didn't miss anything. It just doesn't work with some of the ota updates..
Do more research but If you can confirm that.. Flash to an older version of 4.0.4..
I'm stock and haven't ran any ota updates and it runs fine.

If anyone is able to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
I installed Google Wallet (via this APK) when I first got my Verizon LTE GN a few weeks back. I've since used the app daily and it has worked perfectly, up until this evening.
Today, for the first time ever, I decided to unlock my bootloader in order to root my device--all of which went smoothly. I then re-downloaded the above GW APK (since unlocking wiped my device) but now when I launch the application, the screen stays at "Initializing your device - This may take a few minutes depending on your network connection." The application doesn't freeze (the circle continues to spin), but after 30 minutes of waiting, still, nothing has happened. I've tried reinstalling the APK but that does nothing. I have 4G connectivity and have tried over WiFi also.
I am running stock recovery, stock ROM, stock everything on 4.0.2. All I did was unlock the bootloader & root the device. I've done quite a bit of searching but have been unable to find a solution. Does anyone know what may be causing the issue or what I could do to fix it? I really enjoy using the application
I'm having a pretty similar problem.
CDMA Galaxy Nexus.
When I first got the phone, I downloaded the Google Wallet apk and it worked fine. Used it a few times out in the real world.
Today, used the wug unlock/root method, and installed a custom rom.
Though the rom feature log said it contained Google Wallet, it did not.
I redownloaded the original APK that I had used and it installed, but now I get this "Unfortunately wallet has stopped" message every time.
In fact, it comes up on the screen at random intrevals.
Not sure if there's anything I can do.
Do you guys have NFC enabled from the settings menu?
Also, did you try disabling and re-enabling NFC? It's different hardware, but after flashing one ROM I had to disable/re-enable GPS before it would work... worth a shot.
So, here's the deal, i recently flashed JBSourcery 2.0 rom, its says gsm so i flashed lol..

Which ROM did you come from?
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
BAMF.
I did all the wipes needed before flashing.
or am i missing something
Are you getting an error message? Try unlinking your Google account from settings, wiping data from play store, reboot and open play store. You'll have to type in your Google info again but usually fixes it

well, at first is says 'unable to get info' or something like that, then it managed to start downloading but would get stuck at 1 or 2 percent.
also, the google play homepage shows verizon apps, i downloaded another gapps package for xxxxO0C gNex, but still show verizon..
I don't get mine either. Now I use app2zip and flash my old ones in recovery
*This Jedi master be a Ninj-ESS*
Reflashed the rom last night, and everything seems to be working fine now :cyclops:
also, in every rom i've tried, none seems to have vibration on phone calls or received messages...
Yeah, i went a different route and tried a restore. Lost root and haven't been able to get it back either.

I recently bought a Zeki TBD753B. It was cheap thats why I bought it. It has Jelly Bean on it.
I have read through every possible post I could. I found out I had to root the tablet and install google play.
I have followed a lot of the posts I have seen. I was able to root it, but for some reason Google Play just will not work properly. I can get it installed but everytime I run the app it crashes on me after 5 to 10 seconds. I get "unfortunately Google Play has stopped working". I have even used Link2SD to change it from a user app to a system app. At this point it won't even load and i get the stopped working message right away. I can only assume that I am missing some kind of file. I tried the newest versions of Play and even an older version down to 3.5.19. I have tried clearing the data and the catche. I am at a loss.
The only reason It is such a big deal to me is that a majority of the apps I want to download seem to be only on Play.
forget this post
I finally got it figured out.
It had something to do with the version of Play I was using when I installed it.

Recently I started having the weirdest issue.
Immediately after I search for an item in Google Search (either typing or voice) it crashes.
If I don't perform a search, Google now stays up and active and I can use it.
I use STOCK rooted roms. But, It doesn't seem to be rom specific as the issue happens on XXCMH1 & XXCMI1
Is anyone having this issue?
I had this same issue a couple of weeks back. It corrected automatically after an update to google search. So check if u have any updates.

I'm having the same issue running CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-REV3.4 Rom.
I broke down and wiped the entire device thinking it was one one of my apps after serveral attempts to fix by clearing Google Search Data & Cache.
I'm willing to live with it for now until the next CivZ-FLEX-BEAM-Rom is released but I can say that im somewhat relived to see that someone is reporting the same problem on a Stock Rooted Rom.

Like you I also:
1. Deleted Google Search's data,
2. Wiped cache/dalvik cache.
3. I haven't done a full wipe (really don't want to do that.)
Are you saying that it's still broke after the full wipe?
I tried a suggestion from this forum : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/64445-google-now-search-crashes/
1. I uninstalled the last Google search update, via application manager.
(Immediately Google Search started working)
2. Later, I updated the app via the playstore and now it's working fine even on the latest version.
Maybe this will work for someone else.

Yes I just uninstalled google search altogether through titanium backup and then installed it again directly from the play store. Works fine now and no more crashes . Running Civz 3.4 flex-beam rom with his 2.0 kernel.
I just tried the same from the Link apollostees posted and happy to say no more Google Search crashes.
Thanks for the Link.
Received the FP with 3.5.0 att locked with unlock code from ebay deal today and now trying mess with it and got few questions that I just need to ask before I go any further in the path of no return.
First I`ve been somewhat following each steps here at this Guide to make fire os look normal. Everything is going smoothly and got all the way up to firing up google play but unable to download any apps from it. I`m guessing becuase I have missed installing the vending.apk before opening play store? Now I`m unable to install the vending.apk at all. Is it crucial to follow each install order of google services? Or am I missing something that`s preventing vending.apk install?
I`ve already factory restore the phone to try again but before redoing everything should I even try to upgrade to the most recent 4.6.1 and root at 4.6? Just asking because I`ve read somewhere along the way that upgrading to 4.6 solves some problems with play store. Or is it still best to stay at 3.5 for rooting purposes. I would like to eventually put CM11 in it.
Should I try to unlock the phone first with the included code from ATT before going all the way with rooting and to CM11? Will I be able to enter code with CM11? I just don`t have a nano SIM at the moment and just can`t wait to tinker with the phone. Or should I just stop at root/Google Now Launcher and unlock before trying CM11?
Is safe safestrap like just CWM recovery? Can I Make a backup of the rooted stock Fire OS 3.5 and install CM11 now and revert to stock if I need to?
I'm waiting for mine to come. Ordered from same deal I'm guessing. You can cut your current sim card down to nano if you really want to be adventurous.
How did the prime membership go? Any issues with getting the free year?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Yeah I`ll be cutting in-laws sim so I`ll wait until I sort the phone out. Prime automatically adds a year after putting your amazon email account when registering the phone, went through without a hitch.
Ok so factory restore didn`t really restore everything. Google now app launcher still on when it booted up. So this will be a fun night. Any suggestions on what should I try next?
Is Safestraponly for 4.6?
I wish I knew. I haven't gotten mine yet so I've just been trying to read and prepare.
Have you unlocked the phone?

I believe you would need to unlock the phone in order to install this update since its for an unlocked phone. But I could be wrong.

Not yet need nano sim card to unlock and that`s why I`m being wary on going through all the way tonight. They sent unlock code printed on a sticker with a disclaimer that basically saying once you claim the prime membership you are not able to return it. Found this unlock method for FP, does anyone knows other way of unlocking it without sim card?
I think you need a non att sim card so that it asks for the unlock code. That's going to be my issue. Don't know anyone with a non-att nano sim card

New to FP...one of the 2500 eBay purchasers
I'm in the same boat. Ordered my FP from eBay with the one year extension of Prime...so it was about $50 for the phone after tax and discounting the Prime membership. So my questions are...
1 - What is the best way to go to get Google apps working as I pretty much use much of the Google ecosystem. Should I sideload the Google stuff, or just root and go to CM11. I want to make sure I have all the LTE bands working and I'm not sure if CM11 changes the modem.
2 - If I stay with Amazon Android do I stay on Version 3 or upgrade to Version 4. Which works best with Google sideloads?
Any clear advice to a new user of FP. In the past I've had HTC and Samsung and always unlocked the bootloader and rooted. There is a lot in the forums I have to read but maybe somebody could encapsulate some advice to those peoples who seemed to have bought the eBay deal. Much thank for guidance from experienced users.
From my understanding, there is root for 4.6.1, and Google stuff seem to work better on 4.6.1. So I'm definitely planning on upgrading when I get the phone.

Ok found an old TMobile micro sim and just followed this guy and cut into nano and when I turned on the botched half rooted FP it just asked for the unlocked code and the code provided worked.
So this time I downloaded the Google services zipped file in this thread and jumped to his step 2 and when it came to step 2.iii I followed this guy`s instructions. I had to download es file explorer on amzon app store first so I can get to google services files that I had transferred from the comp. And turned off wifi so the auto update download will not finish downloading.
Basically I got google now launcher working fine was able to install the obligatory Facebook app until I updated the Market with Google play store. After that the dreaded "Google Play ervices has stopped" started popping.
I`m going to try to find a fix but if there`s none, it looks like updating to 4.6 would be the best route. Unless someone can give their 2 cents on this matter.
Ok so updated to 4.6 and rooted with kingroot. Play store worked great for few minutes andand found out about this white screen problem.
I`ll try to see how "stable" the cm11 which I doubt ready for daily use if not I`ll just have the inlaws use fire os. The update made it look closer to their old phone and actually not too bad. As long as they have facebook and candy crush they`re happy. Also mayday would actually benefit me in the long run
Update:
Used the apk files in this guide which looked newer versions and it seemed to do the trick this time while rooted with latest kingroot at 4.6. Even after I installed google now launch and google quick search which forced me to update the google services to use which also ended up updating the play store. So far no issues with play store.
Update:
Play store white death screen is back.......!!!!
I think I finally figured the fix for white death screen!!? The problem is ****ing google is auto updating the playstore automatically to a 5.xx version which breaks Playstore. Found the solution in this link. When GP auto update just disable/unistall updates and reinstall the older 4.6 GP or the last 4.8 GP apk version before 5.xx. Then I tried all possible options to block play store from auto updating. I used the Disable Services app method and the terminal emulator that someone suggested in the previous link. So far no white death screen.
Update:
Google managed to get around my solution and updated play store again, mfckers!
Any suggestions on how to block NSA auto updating play store?
I believe you need to use these on 4.6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/google-play-store-4-6-1-version-4-apks-t3098592 I never had an issue with it

Its a very stable rom. I've been using it one week today. It got an update 3 days ago. You will get the "play services stopped working message" but that's happening with stock. Play store has opened every time I try it. Unless you like fire os better I'd try the ROM. I was skeptical too. In fact, I wasn't anticipating using this phone as my daily driver but that's exactly what happened. Just make a backup of stock to be safe.
Finally I got everything figured out. I just flashed the flashable stock 4.6 image from this thread through safestap. And every google services seemed to be working properly now (Maps, Hangouts,Navigation etc.). I just installed nova launcher and the phone feels like regular android phone right now.
I'll stick with the fire os for now as I need the phone to be really stable before handing the phone to the in laws.
