Google wallet

[anon(940270)]

I'm one for two using Google Wallet. My first attempt was at CVS and it didn't work. I am not sure if it was me or if it was the scanner. My next attempt was at Riteaid and it took a couple of attempts but it went through. The girl behind the counter was surprised but said that is cool when I told her I paid with my cell phone.

I would like to try Wallet, but I have my phone unlocked and rooted, even though it is stock JB. After being on phone with support I find that Wallet will not work on unlocked phone. Has anybody figured a work-around? I like the expanded capabilities of things like my launcher, etc. that need root access.

My phone is unlocked & rooted, and Google Wallet worked for me.

It has been some time since I tried this and ended up calling support. Since then Wallet has been updated. Now when I go through Setup, I get this alert at the top/pulldown:

"ALERT - Unsupported device, Learn more - Some users may disable important security mechanisms in order to gain system level "root" access to their device. 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"​

It is interesting however that I ignored the pull-down and continued to set up my PayPal Master Card debit card. The setup continued as if it is properly set up, so I will give it a try again when I am at a supported check-out, and post again to let everyone know the result.
