Is there a way to get Google Wallet working on Verizon Galaxy S4?
Does anyone know of any alternatives that are working?
I would definitely like to know because I am interested in using the paywave style payments

Are you rooted? If your not, then you cannot get Wallet to work. If you are, then see the thread on Wallet mentioned above.
Thanks for the direction, I will be giving this a try today.
UPDATE! Followed instructions, method A and it seems to have installed correctly, have not had chance to go to store to test. but install did pass and i was able to set up cards. Thank you both
Hi... I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 Tuesday night (I have the MDK, not ME7) and it went very smoothly, thanks to the guys who work hard and post their instructions in these forums... flawless, and much appreciated! Last night I followed the "Method A" instructions (w/TWRP recovery) for Google Wallet and it went smoothly.
(Google Wallet's setup on your phone will eventually say: "Setting up Google Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes..." Mine took about 20 minutes, so you just have to wait and try not to be worried that something didn't work right!)
Anyway, it worked like a charm. This morning I tested it at McDonald's and it worked well. At first I held my phone to the pad and nothing happened. So I pulled it away, and then tried once more and it immediately popped up Google Wallet, asked for my pin, told me to tap the phone one more time and BAZINGA!
Good luck everyone, I hope you have as much success as I've had with it. And a huge THANK YOU! to whomever posted the instructions and developed this method.

Guys Atrix is not listed on CoPilots website as compatible device so I'm wodering if anybody got it to work on Atrix.
Thanks for your time.
works on mine
Mine would not activate on my device. I emailed the creators on Friday the 17th of March, but haven't heard back from them yet. Hopefully I well later today.
thanks, let uf know what they said.
I too had an activation issue on my CoPilot with the Atrix. I installed it when I first got the Atrix but didn't try to use at all till last week, had to email support and have them reset my activation number so I could use it. Took them a whole... 4 hours to respond to my email to get everything working.
Honestly though, aside from loading it up, downloading the maps and setting my preferred settings.. I didn't use it use it... so while I assume it's all good I haven't gone on any longer trips to where I use this over google maps to prove it

Now that we have ICS on the Note, is there any way to get Google Wallet working on it? Especially from outside the US?
No.

I have the Galaxy Note from Rogers as well. I've tried using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365360. So far all I've gotten is an "Initializing your device" without end, but it could just be my connection. Give it a shot, you might have better luck than I do. Report back plz!
I'm on AT&T in the US, and I get the same thing. Ah well ...
Not sure if anyone else saw this but tap to pay is unlocked on stock 4.4.2 rom!

They changed the way that the NFC secure element works. Essentially, its even more secure now. And they gave a big middle finger to Verizon/ATT and Isis.

I see you can add credit debit cards...can they be used at nfc places or do they only work for online purchases? I'm new to this but am interested in using this...I'm not rooted running kitkat so I should be ok

Yes you can set a default card that gets used when you tap to pay.
Thanks ...last question cause their site isn't very helpful. ..lol...do I need to enter a bank account or is a credit card enough? Thanks again

Sorry didn't see this post. I'm not sure on the bank account. I don't think you need to since you'll be using a card. But the back account is there in case you want to add funds from bank to Google wallet card.

I would never authorize on-line transactions directly from an account. Credit cards at least have limits/protections.
Bank account is not required. All I use is one of my cards. Works like a champ.
Has anyone been able to get tap to pay working on 4.4.2? I'm on Surge's 4.4.2 rom and tap to pay sets up immediately, which means it didn't completely setup. Proper setup usually takes a few minutes. I've tried it at a store and as expected it didn't didn't even register with the payment terminal. I was able to use tap to pay on my old s3 prior to April 14th and was hopeful I could use it on the s4 now that is has official kit kat.
I've been using it on the 4.4.2 release for weeks. Every now and then the first tap won't work but it always does the second time. It set up pretty much immediately for me compared to the old way NFC worked.

I guess that means I'm likely experiencing operator error. I went into the transaction assuming that it wasn't going to work because of the different experience with setup. Then when the first tap didn't register, I quickly used the actual credit card.
When the first tap doesn't work for you, does it even register a transaction attempt? My phone didn't even attempt to start a transaction.
It makes the customary wallet sound and then has that reader/transaction may not have been successful message.
I'm about to buy the VZW G3. This might be a dumb question, but can anyone confirm whether or not tap to pay in Google Wallet works on the device?
I have it installed and activated TTP but haven't tried it out yet. Hopefully today I'll have chance to test it.

Yes works fine.
Worked like a charm at Walgreen's.

Worked flawlessly at Whole Foods. The cashier looked at me like i was crazy and said "How did you do that?"
For future reference, any phone/device with stock kk + nfc, Google wallet t&p will work. It can no longer be blocked by a manufacturer or carrier.
tried it out once but didn't work (app and cash register gave an error), probably just a fluke
Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah I wasn't sure because I came from a Galaxy S3 with CM 11 and there was a point where it just stopped working no matter what I threw at it. Worked fine for several months before that too. Wasn't sure if it was due to a restriction on the model, carrier or who knows what. About to try it out myself with the G3 today

Working great on my rooted G3.
Worked fine on my Galaxy S4 until Google removed support for everything that was not on KitKat.
So if at any point you were not on KitKat, support would have gone away.
I forgot the cutoff date for Wallet support for pre-KitKat releases.

What was weird was that I was running the latest version of KitKat for quite some time and TTP never seemed to work. Wallet would show it as available but it never actually worked at terminals. Not sure why it stopped working, but I do know that other people had the same problem with the GS3. Just glad to be done with whatever incompatibility or blocking that was and on to a much better phone :good:
Probably unnecessary for me to post but figured I'd also add in that I just used Tap to Pay at McDonald's and it worked beautifully!!!

Works for me. The cashier did not even talk to me through an entire transaction but when I used tap and pay she said...the was really cool.
Looks like the same method to get tether/hotspot without rooting that works for S6 also works for S7. Just like the S6 thread in which /u/KennyG123 pointed out a working solution originally for Note 4 by /u/MasterTentacles, here is the solution that also works for S7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/lollipop-hotspot-root-flashing-t3048163
Similar to last time, since there is no root involved, knox isn't tripped and samsung pay still works. Similar to before, you still need MSL and need to re-apply the above settings with any major software update.

How are you guys getting your MSL? Just calling Sprint?
Edit: Never mind got it. For those of you that don't know it's in your thanks for activating email and they call it your activation code or it might say you may need this code to activate your phone. That's you MSL
Was looking for this info,
thanx

If you get your phone activated in a store, and are on an Easy Pay plan, they normally will not give you your MSL because the phone is "not yours" yet.
As soon as you get the phone, the next day, get into a chat with support and ask for a copy of the manual activation steps. This should give you the MSL as well. You might have to coach them into what you want. They tried to point me to the web activation, then to a semi manual activation, then the full manual one.
Returned mine

The reboot method still works after the update...
Reboot phone,
As soon as is possible navigate to and turn hotspot,
it usually works on 1st try,
if you get 'no data connection', quickly turn off and turn on hotspot again.
if you get 'not subscribed to this service', start at reboot again.
This is not my find,
it is from other GS7 hotspot thread.

I have yet to find a way around it. There is a new update out. I have not installed it yet, still waiting to see the reports on what it changes.
For now, I can confirm that turning your phone off and then on, and activating hot spot immediately let's you turn it on.
The latest update improved Voice over WiFi, which I need to be better for work, so I'm sadly going to be the guinea pig for this update. I'll report back soon on whether or not it locks out the previously mentioned working option.

Scratch that; it detects you don't have the subscription after a moment even before the update.

How did you get it to work
Reboot your phone. As soon as you can unlock it open the hot spot settings and turn it on. Then connect something to it right away.

This is correct! Follow this YouTube video and it'll work for you to. Just verified on my unlocked GS7.

It's not perfect or consistent for me, I had to reboot it a couple of times to get it to work more than a few seconds but the second time it stayed on for several minutes! I went to test the internet and it was working as you would expect. This is awesome!
