Google Wallet

His profile says Richmond, VA but it could be a trick I guess. The other clue is that if he were in SLC or Austin they would have known what he was talking about and that Isis is not a "third-party app."

Yeah, you're probably right. I only browse the forum using Tapatalk, so I forgot you could see profile info on the website.

I am in Richmond so that must be the issue.

So why is Google Wallet blocked in the first place? This is the first time I am hearing about this. I am getting the Droid Razr Maxx HD and was excited to try Google Wallet.

Can Google Wallet be used on a rooted phone?

I have been trying to find a way to do it and so far I haven't had much luck. I do know some people are working on it on XDA but last I saw it wasn't working.

I bought two Droid RAZR MAXX HDs in about March of 2013 through a promotion on Amazon. Part of the promotion was that I got $50 worth of apps on playstore for each phone. It was to be credited to my Google Wallet account. I have purchased several paid apps since then but playstore never has offered an option to pay with Wallet.

Google Wallet functions on my RMHD (stock, unrooted)

Options for payment through the Play Store...you have to hit the arrow and you can select method of payment

I select an app
I tap the price
I Accept
I tap the price with down arrow
I tap payment options

The default option is: my credit card

Other options are:
"Add credit or debit card"
"Enable Verizon wireless billing"
"Redeem"
"Buy Google play credit."

There is no indication of Wallet or that I should have $100 prepaid.

I would try contacting Google support. What happens if you try to purchase something on a PC?

I was successful in purchasing an app on my desktop PC. I didn't understand how that would work before, but the play store account was the default payment method. After purchase, the app was installed automatically on my phone.

I think that maybe the reason that I could not do that from my phone before was that I have two Gmail accounts, and play store might be set to the wrong one.
