Google Wallet 4.4 - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

I was under the impression wallet would work with NFC after we go KitKat??? Am I totally wrong? Under tap and pay there is no option to set Google Wallet as default and in wallet tap and pay says unavailable.

If you check the google wallet page, You can see what devices are compatible with Tap & Pay
https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/1347934?hl=en
So far, it only shows the 2012 Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 as working tablets.

Given that Host Card Emulation is one of the new features in 4.4, and that the Nexus 7 (2013) carries the same NFC controller as the Nexus 5 (the BCM20793M), it seems likely that Google hard-coded the device out of Wallet and an update of the app will probably bring tap-to-pay.

I saw that too, but until they update the compatibility list and throw the switch on the 2013 Nexus 7, its not going to work. I mean, I could run 4.4 on my Note 2 and try and get it, but it probably won't work without being officially supported.
EDIT: just to say a couple more things. I almost knew for certain this would happen. Now that google is going to more software based way of handling these tap and pay features, I knew they would start setting up a Velvet Rope situation where only certain devices will be allowed to activate the feature. if any phone out there had this, Google might somehow lose control of payments. Needing to make sure the phone matches the username and with the history the app had of being able to make pretty much any phone look like a Galaxy Nexus just by editing the build.prop file, its probably going to be even worse getting certain phones/tablets activated.

Makes sense! I agree they had to do something to patch the "Nexus trick" and this seems like this is it.

The Nexus 7 (2013) is actually missing hardware - the ”secure element ”. I would be surprised if Google ever supports Wallet on this device. You can't make up for missing hardware with a patch.

Incorrect. That's what host card emulation is for. The Nexus 5 does not have a secure element, it is able to emulate it via software. Secure element is not required to get official support.
What you are saying is very true Pre-KitKat days, KitKat changes the game.

I currently have tap and pay enabled in wallet cm11 build 11/11/13. I haven't gotten it to work at a terminal yet though. If you check the compatability list you'll see that it says all devices running 4.4 and up with NFC are compatible.

Mikel Sigler from Google+ reported that pulling the Wallet APK from the Nexus 5 and sideloading it onto the Nexus 7 works.
I would post the link, but I do not have enough posts yet.

Let me make my own prediction - Google will drop Wallet tap-to-pay on all NFC devices within 12 months. For now - NFC is not where Wallet is headed.

Tap to Pay is now included in today's update.

Thank you! Downloading now.
Need I say more? fd01 leaked radios, check. working google wallet, check. All the cm9 my taste buds cant resist, eh.. Thanks for this... amazing so far
Edit: nevermind.
GPS works, MMS and SMS works for send/receive, all looks good except compass is backwards.
Using FD01 radio, CM9 kernel and now franco kernel milestone 3.
Well done!
Edit: compass isn't just backwards, it's all over the place even with calibration in GPS Status/waving it around/etc. Dialer doesn't vibrate when touching keys (can't find any settings for this in Dialer or Settings/Sounds).

Wallet works.
Edit: Huh, I went through and setup Wallet, got the $10 from Google. Rebooted, and now it says device is unsupported. "Learn More" takes me to a page saying:
"Some users may disable important security mechanisms in order to gain system-level "root" access to their phone. We strongly discourage doing so if you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with unauthorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be limited."
But it still shows Available balance $10.00. I'll try using it for a purchase sometime in the near future.
Downloading now! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!

Who wants to try and get the S-Voice apk working?

The S-Voice apk was just posted in the S3 area http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26293573&posted=1#post26293573
I've installed it on my GNEX and it installed fine, made it through the tutorial as well, but it crashed when I tried to change the wake up phrase. Anyone care to give it a shot at making it work? I was going to start with something simple like editing build.prop but I can't seem to find any info on what the S3 is listed as.
It's now working perfectly!! Nex7er in the Note forum discovered if you install the app from system/app it works perfectly and I can confirm it runs perfect on the nexus!!!

I installed on latest CM9 nightly, no issues here. I installed it normally without being in system folder.
Edit:
Seems too clunky and pointless/useless. I can do all those commands by tapping the screen manually and I'll know they are correct rather than relying on a sketchy voice to text algorithm.

To each his own I guess. As a guy with only one arm I can state for me, it is MUCH easier and faster to say "new dental appointment, June 5th at 9am and then confirm with yes then it is to:
open apps, select calendar, click the month view tab, flip to June, click on the 5th, select "new" on the 9am tab and then type out dental, etc...
Running bamf/jamesbond and get a force close on it
Cleared data on it and reloaded... Skipped trying to set a new wakeup and it will go through to asking me "which app do you want to open "
Unfortunately no matter what I say she comes back with that same line.
Of course, restarted again and didn't bother to wake her up... And now commands work.
Tried and seems to work pretty good
Tried setting an alarm but couldn't save for some reason.

Probably it's searching for SGS3 alarm app
Can confirm that adding appointments and checking weather work though.
Timer will work as far as countdown, but doesn't seem to hook into any vibrate/ring function to notify you when it finishes.
It took me a few tries, and I only got it to install by skipping the setup part of it. The apk claimed I already had s voice installed. And, when I went to remove it, because it crashed despite installing it from system/app, it only gave me the option to remove updates. I'm running stock ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get to settings for it, so I'm stuck calling it "Hi Galaxy!"
Here is a copy of the APK if anyone wants it
Been using it for quite some time, actually. It's been called into Axiom roms for awhile now.

If the alarm worked - it'd be fastest to set alarm that way.
Also, the timer would be nice if it actually did something when the countdown finished.
Little things like that I could see it handy for... plus for answers you'd look up on google, could be quicker to answer at times.
Installed it like any other apk. I am stock and not rooted. And it has worked tip top since the start

After some digging I found that with the Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.4 is having issues because its based off of 4.0.3 Workaround is to install the app under system/apps instead of regular installer. I used root explorer and had R/W enabled placed the file and opened/installed from their.

Can NFC tag unlock or lock Android?

I'm wondering if an NFC tag can be used to unlock the Android device -- instead of using the screen pattern lock.
Or does the device need to be unlocked for NFC to function in the first place?
My device would probably be a Galaxy S III running under ICS, but I am guessing this is a general property.
Sure would be handy, in the car for example.
I've heard about a mod on GS3 to use NFC tags without unlocking your devices but I can't tell you if a NFC tag can unlock it...
Anyway it could be really problematic if you can unlock all phones with NFC Tag...

Aren't NFC tags programmed to be phone-specific, linked to the NFC chip onboard?
BTW, I just found this related thread, which started off asking about screen-off state, but the discussion also covered locked state.
I am thinking this probably can't be done.

No, NFC tags are just passive tags that react to the NFC antenna in devices.

They can enable/disable the lock screen (that's in the next update of NFCTL) but it's "hacky" in a sense. It works but it's not really "disabling" it as much as it's telling keyguard don't show it I'm a trusted app and need to display data.
The screen has to be unlocked for NFC to function. With that said you could modify the source of the NFC service to alter this, rebuild and push this to a device (Assuming no signature issues). It's pretty clear in the source where the restriction is (it checks if it's unlocked before turning on).

we currently have one app's working like a charm can lock and unlock all android NFC mobile, due to some restriction we have to find a turn around but now work. Our app's will be released within a month when all testing and polishing job will be done
its likely
As i know, the NFC Tags delivered with Sony's NXT Series can only be used when the Screen i lit up (Xperia P), maybe there is a developer out there who can implement such a function so you can use NFC without lighting up your Phone...
Check what I did

It works and it's battery drain free (nfc activated for 10s at most)

I've had an app out for about a year now called nfcsecure.
The nfcring kickstarter purchased a white labeled version of my app to be bundled with the purchase of their nfcring. I think its a pretty good app.
Don't try the trial, it sucks, need to remove it from the market.

Ha. Didn't read, just saw the pic before I posted. The original tag I used when I was writing the app was a wristband from the BBQ in 2012

If I use stock 4.1.1 and stock 4.1.2, I can see and install Photoshop Touch.
Anything other than stock, including using CM10 or AOKP roms, then I can see but cannot install Photoshop Touch with a message saying it is incompatible with my rom.
My solution was to install an old apk of the software (found on the web, any will do). Then, since I actually bought the app, it simply proposed me to update through the Store.

I must be doing something wrong. Attempted the same thing, I'm not rooted nor do I currently wish to be (long story there, I'll leave my Xoom to be the rooted one for now) but as it stands, this did not work for me.
Upon installation on 4.1.2, the market recognized Adobe Proto and Adobe Ideas were installed. I cannot get these to update via the store since they are still seen as incompatible with my Nexus 7. Great...
And I paid for those two.
[edit]
Just had an email response from Google Play regarding the purchase of the app and subsequently being unable to reinstall after a factory reset.
Here is what they wrote:
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for writing back. I do see that you've done a factory data reset. I'm sorry to hear you're still experiencing this issue. Apparently you were able to download the app before but it is correct that the app isn't actually compatible with the Nexus 7.
If you're still not able to find a certain app, please keep in mind apps that aren’t compatible with your device are hidden when you search for them on Google Play. Developers of Android apps can choose to filter devices based on a variety of criteria, including Android OS version, carrier, location, or even screen size. According to our records, Adobe Photoshop Touch is incompatible with your device because it doesn't match the developer's specifications on for the device's screen density.
Because you were able to purchase this app and are now unable to use it, I've gone ahead and filed this refund request on your behalf - you'll receive another email within 14 business days confirming that the request has been processed.
Thanks in advance for your patience, and if you have additional questions or if you don't receive a second email with this confirmation, please let me know.
Regards,
Eddie

Guess that answers one question, however I still can't understand how I was able to purchase it directly from Google Play. The app itself runs perfect on the N7, so maybe it's now up to Adobe to support our device....

I spent two+ hours last night trying to spoof my N7 as various compatible tablets so I could download it, and succeeded only in soft-bricking (fixed by reflashing OTA).
It looks like Google has closed some/all of the loopholes that used to allow you to fool the store. Nothing I tried worked.
with my current rom i am able to buy the app on the store. my rom is aosp based. no tweeks to the market that i know of. no build prompt changes. no idea what im doing right but it is not hidden or unavailable in any way for me
I'm on stock 4.2.1 and it shows up for me. 9.99

Yea they just recently updated it make it officially work on the N7. It's totally worth the money btw, Ive been using it since it was released and now that it can edit images up to 12mp it's SUPER useful.

cm10.1 wallet setup failed?

i'm having a problem with nightly 5-28 ( not sure if it affects others or other roms) setting up google wallet. i can download the app from the market, open it and go through setup but as soon as it says it's setting up for card purchases it fails. it gives a message "device setup failed". i checked to see if the secure element is broken and in the controller applet version it says 2.0. i checked my galaxy nexus and my nexus 7 and both are at 1.6. i'm not sure if this makes a difference but something obviously isn't working. i have contacted google wallet and sent them logs of the problem but i haven't heard back from them yet.
i have tried the xposed trick, i have modified the build.prop, i have cleared/ reset the wallet app. i'm at a loss here. anyone have any ideas or info?

if you had wallet working in a different rom did you reset it BEFORE you installed the new rom? if you didn't it might have blocked the secure element. even though it isn't broken it's unusable. I had the same problem. it took a long time (like a month or 2) and like 4 ROM swaps later it started working magically out of the blue... I have no idea how it happened but if this is your problem you might just have to wait

I got it working... by doing what Google Support told me to do.
I got the same issue. Tried installing the hacked version a long time ago, failed at that, and then left it alone for a few months. Started trying again the last month or so, can't get it working, trying everything - reset/re-install, new account, old ROM... Finally just called Google Wallet support, and the lady told me they get this all the time. The tech could see that an ID associated with my NFC was incorrect and that the issue needed to be elevated to higher tech levels. She also told me that you just have to keep restarting the phone and retrying the setup. Finally, today, at work, I tried again, and as soon as the app opened, a warning popped up saying that info had been changed and that the app needed to be reset. I reset the app as prompted, and then redid the entire setup, and now I have a properly working wallet.
So, call Google Wallet support, tell them what's up, and then keep trying Wallet setup and restarting the phone every day. It'll eventually sort itself out.

Also, the Note 2 does NOT have a secure element chip like the S3 (the NFC chips are different), which is why Google Wallet wasn't available for the Note 2 until the Cloud storage for Google Wallet started. So, if you forget to reset your Google Wallet app before you switch ROMs, you won't brick your Google Wallet abilities, but you will create headaches for yourself.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the note 2 most certainly has a secured element chip.

The Note 2 has a NXP PN544 NFC chip, which does not have an embedded secure element. The Galaxy S3 has a NXP PN65 NFC chip, which does have the secure element.
Well this is where I read it did. http://www.nfc-research.at/?id=45

I'm still going through **** with Google wallet support. I'm really stating to get up set. You'd think it be easy to just tell me I ducked my phone up and I need to go get a new one. But they won't tell me a thing.

Well what do toy know..... I just opened my wallet app and it said something like "payments have been disabled on this device you must reset the app". I hit OK, it reset and then closed the app. I opened it back up and it went right into setup and it worked. No idea what happened.

I was never asked. I am on cm10 tho and Wallet is still working.
