You will. Don't make the same mistake I did. Disable gw in the app. Clear the data uninstall and side load the new apk. I thought I'd just wait as well and then blame it locked me out of the app and to side load after that u might risk ur secure element.

Like I said.. It's risky. The best thing you can do is reset within the app before wiping anything, as that clears its info from the secure element of your NFC chip. If that option isn't available you can try to reset it from the website which may work the same way. Or you might get away without doing it at all.. But as I said that eventually caught up with me, so I'm just looking out for you guys

This is really frustrating. Even rooted I'm having this problem. Google or Verizon. I don't care who is at fault here but I am just about fed up!

Alright. I took your advice and disabled and reset it while it would still let me. Side loaded and now I'm all up to date and back up and running. I really hope they sort this all out as this app is becoming increasingly frustrating to keep on my phone.

Hmm, my md5 doesn't match, so I can't load.

**mackdoober** · 09-15-2012, 01:10 AM

Sideloaded APK worked like a charm for me. Thanks for the links all.

**mraviator** · 09-15-2012, 07:08 AM

I downloaded both APKs listed in posts 16 and 17. File sizes and checksums are different, neither which matches the one given in post 17... Can someone clear this up? Thanks.

I would use the link in post 17 by con. I had trouble finding a link to the apk and the one I got is from xda but off the an HTC phone If I remember right ( I dont think it amkes a differance, but I removed my link in post 16 and directed everyone to use con's link in post 17. I hope that fixes any issues with the checksums

I pulled the apk off of my nexus7, put it on my gnex and installed it. No issues what so ever. Went to the local sheetz and purchased a slurpee without error.

yup did the same thing with my nexus 7. I still have to spend my free $10 bucks off my N7 before google starts to deactivate the prepaid cards :/

**Uribam** · 09-15-2012, 01:20 PM

Thanks for all the help everyone. I was dismayed the other day when I got jerked around yet again for being a Verizon customer. Luckily we have a great community here on AC and in the Android world in general. C'MON NOVEMBER when I can switch carriers.

**matt91** · 09-15-2012, 02:39 PM

thanks for the help. i don't use Wallet much, but liked having it. Opened it today to realize that it was "broke."

disabled via web - didn't seem to help since I couldn't get wallet to load at all.
Deleted ("cleared") data the uninstalled.
Downloaded apk from links aboves (16 or 17), loaded fine.
Had to reset my cards, but no biggie.

Seems fine now. thanks all.

**mrspock2002** · 09-15-2012, 07:16 PM

Thank You everyone, I'm back up and running. It's sad that Verizon has to be like this. Sprint is looking better and better, even with just 3G in my area.

**mwara244** · 09-16-2012, 05:40 AM

Thank You ConTejas forthe help , got my GWallet Back, thank you so much.

**joeb3786** · 09-16-2012, 03:33 PM

this thread helped me get wallet working for the first time ever on my gnex, and I don't want to lose it! I'm about to flash AOKP because I'm a closet flash-addict, and was hoping for a bit of clarification on how best to do this. Best guess based on what I have seen here - remove device via browser, clear data from within the wallet app itself, clear whatever I can from within "app info" section of settings, and then and only then uninstall?

If ur app is updated go in to the gw app. Settings. Then deactivate account. Then uninstall the app. Flash ur from then re side load the app like before. The only reason we have to deactivate when side loading an update or Flashing a from or doing a reset is that it could potentially corrupt your nfc Secure element making ur nfc chip no longer work. Like what happened to 2def. Better to be safe then sorry if possible.

**ConTejas** · 09-17-2012, 11:47 AM

So, I went to use gWallet this morning and this bullsh*t popped up. Anyone else? Yes, this is the newest apk (to my knowledge) that I posted here the other day. I'm going to dig around a bit but please let me know if others that have this August 1st apk are now unable to use it.

Seems I can't upload images anymore, definitely not my day, but it's the "update wallet" popop that takes to to the play store where it's then unavailable.

EDIT: I'm back in business. I downloaded another apk but I verified it was the same as the one I posted earlier. For whatever reason, this one worked when the other one wouldn't. One thing to note is I now realize I had NFC disabled in my notification bar widgets when I opened gWallet this morning and got the "update" pop up. So perhaps that did something? Although it kept saying it after I turned it on, cleared data via the web and in the app, and re-installed the apk I had saved from the other day. Apk I just used from my dropbox

**wrathsentinel** · 09-17-2012, 02:14 PM

Installed the apk, working great. First the upgrade to jelly bean and now this, I love this site.

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.

Didn't see above post: MD5ee2b9cac5018d99caccaf829d9f6bf8c for those that like to check.

Used this link from my phone (after clearing data and uninstalling Wallet) and installed after the download. Worked perfect, thank you.

**rustycaterpillar** · 09-18-2012, 12:26 PM

I got it working by side loading the apk in the link above. Thanks all

The question I am still struggling with is WHY. Why does Verizon give a crap about us using this app? It isnt like they have a competing product...Any and all theories are much appreciated

Because they have a competing product coming "soon" in their partnership with Isis for mobile payments. Not saying it's a good, fair, or even legal reason, but that's the reason.

You got into Oct.17th before the Google prepaid card stops working.I still have about $19.75 to use before that date.
I don't think you can add any more funds to the Google prepaid as of Sept 17th.
I have my prepaid debit card already setup and tested though the Google wallet app, so I can just use that after Oct.17th.
They are just discontinuing the Google prepaid card since they now allow various other cards now.

Edit: If for some reason you didnt use all your funds up on the Google prepaid card by Oct.17th you could contact Google and get the remaining amount refunded as well.
