Hi all,
I went to use this app on my rooted, GN running the leaked Jelly bean test build this morning and was prompted to update the app. However its now not letting me update it through the browser. I tried downloading the Apk but the one I found was outdated. What advice do you guys have for updating this Google Wallet?

Yeah it won't let me update it through the browser or store. Ol' Verizon is up to their old tricks again.

he does add it to your system/app/ folder. You can delete it with a file explorer with root level permissions and r/w access to the /system/ folder.

I am experiancing the same problem this morning. Yesterday afternoon I used Wallet and this morning it says it needs to be updated and I can't update it or re-download it. I sure hope someone has the solution.

I've Googled with no success so figured I'd ask.

I was on EPIC rom and where it was working fine, decided to flash a new Kill Rom today, installed Wallet from Titanium, then it gave me the need to update notice when I tried to run it. Restored my backup where it worked previously, no love, getting the update message again.

When I go to the web, go to the my all apps, any of these other methods, no joy.

ok here is the deal: GW is forcing the update now. so you can no longer get into wallet until you update( I tried) so you cant deactivate your wallet on your gnex. what I did (at my own risk, and it will be at yours as well) is I cleared the data from the app and uninstalled GW then side loaded the new .apk for my Nexus 7
(the current verison is 1.5-R79-v5 See Con's post for a link below) and all is working fine again.

I thought of it after but if you go to your desktop and go to https://wallet.google.com/manage/#devices: disable wallet, then uninstall GW on your device. Side load the new apk and your done.. safely

* There is a possibility you can potentially disable your secure element in your nfc chip by not disabling google wallet on your device before starting the side loading process. Myself and the android central community will not be held responsible for any ill effects From bypassing this. Proceed at your own risk *

I've never updated via the Market, but I saw it was available at one point and now it says "device unavailble." Seems like it was short lived after VZW losing that lawsuit. Anyway, here's the apk. Just make sure you delete data in your currect version to protect the secure element. I delete the data in settings<apps, and then uninstall it just to be safe. I like the new interface, directly linking credit/debit, and that it's working fine.
