Google wallet problem

**xFORTRESSx** · 09-14-2012, 05:56 AM

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 I tried downloading the Apk but the one I found was outdated.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?

It won't let you update it through the play store on your phone?

**seamus.zolly** · 09-14-2012, 07:13 AM

Same here. The store says it's not available for the device.

**xFORTRESSx** · 09-14-2012, 07:49 AM

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

it still works for me, just won't update through the store. The moment it requires me to update, I'll sideload the one here.

I'm unable to uninstall google wallet... must be part of BuglessBeast? Am I screwed?

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 just got my Gnex on Wed and was shocked that I cant get Wallet. WTF is Verizon thinking? For what reason would they block it? I have it on my N7 but a fat lot of good that does me I dont carry my tablet with me everywhere I go.

HELP

Same issues here. I'm getting the "Update Wallet" message as soon as I start Wallet and get an incompatible device message in the Play Store.

**davidnc** · 09-14-2012, 09:14 AM

Something changed since last night because I was able to open up wallet last night to check funds.Since seeing /reading this thread its a no go.
I get that update popup window ,follow link to playstore and no update button to click on.It just shows Your device isnt compatible with this version

Is everyone running 1.5-R75-v6? If so, is there an updated apk somewhere?

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 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.

**orlanka** · 09-14-2012, 10:12 AM

Confirmed working with the update above.

**davidnc** · 09-14-2012, 10:50 AM

Yup back up and running with wallet now

Time to go to McD's now like I originally planned to

Worked great! Thanks!

back up, too bad my lunch is over =(

**xFORTRESSx** · 09-14-2012, 12:42 PM

Done deal! Awesome work everyone and again thanks for your support. This goes to show that the Android Central forum community is just that a community. Also called wallet services and the operator sounded like he was frustrated with Verizon blocking the app too. He also said that Google wasn't working for wallet stuff with Verizon.

How can you delete your secure data if you can't get past the "update wallet" notice. I don't want to kill my secure element, but I can't get to my GW settings!

Please read post #16 and #17 where both myself and Con Tejas explain how we did just that.

-There are 2 ways you can: App data clearing or disabling it via Google wallet from your web browser.
