Anyone have any idea why I cant buy apps from the UK ect that are listed in the market?...It wont take my default Amex card and keeps asking for a new card. This only happens with non US apps.
thanks.
Interesting...buying foreign currency apps...will only work with a Mastercard, not my Amex. Problem Solved.
I have a visa and everytime I wanna purchase from out of the country. I gotta call visa and ask them to take a hold off for 24 hours they do and it works. I guess they do that for security purposes

Yep, I ended up doing the same last November. Would have been nice if a meaningful error message was displayed by the Market letting us know that Amex is not accepted by certain countries/vendors.
So now that Google disabled the Google Wallet prepaid card, how do we get our money back we put on it or have access to it.
I logged on to Google Wallet website and only my credit cards I setup show up, the prepaid card doesn't show up. I would think Google would allow you to see and manage that card from the website, but you can't.
What do you guys think of this situation?
I don't really need the money from the card now, but I would think Google should at least send an email to Google Wallet user explaining the situation with the security of the app and fate of our money.
Right there with you buddy. Its bunk.
I have about $20 invested in Wallet myself
I think you can still use the rest of the money on it but you just can't add anymore. I just used it on Friday.

^^^This is correct.
they still should have sent out a brief email....it would have taken approximately 0 effort on their part.....
if this is the case, then they need to start supporting more major credit card companies....like...hmmm....i dunno.....visa lol
My balance says 0. I did find this screen:

I hope someone like Chase decides to add NFC payments to their banking app. They seem to know what the customer wants.
How about Lucid kernel???

I can't even log into my wallet app, its like perpetual "trying to unlock". I assume it'll be fixed quickly, or at least I hope.

They would if Visa would let them. Visa is trying to do it's own NFC thing and will not make a deal with Google.

Weird I could have sworn I saw visa joining Google Wallet for NFC and that all the paper work was being taken care of lol.. but if visa makes an NFC app then I'm using both Wallet and Visa ^_^

Speak for yourself. At one point my card was still there but money bank would not verify so it said 0 when i actually did have money on there. Finally, my money<---- not card, is back.
Google re-enabled provisioning last night. All is back to normal again. You can recharge and add prepaid cards again.
But the people who reset their wallet app data during the non provision period are stuck waiting for google. Mine still says prepaid unavailable
I was at the AT&T store to pick up a new micro simcard for my new N4. The rep was about to give me the simcard when he suddenly asked if I had NFC. I said yes and he went and got a different card muttering something about extra security for Isis.
Later, I tried to set up Wallet but it just hung during initialization. When I took the simcard out, Wallet initialized fine. Put it back in, kaput.
Is AT&T actively disabling Wallet since they are promoting Isis or is it an inadvertant incompatibility. I plan to go back and demand a non-Isis card.

Whoa, that would be completely ridiculous. I took the micro SIM from my HTC One X, put it in my Nexus 4 and Wallet authorized fine (haven't used it yet). All it says is that I'm using an unsupported device because of root, but that doesn't change the functionality.
I had to go to at&t for a sim card as well however wallet works great for me. I use it every time I go grocery shopping.

I was really surprised that there really are two different sims now. I forgot to mention that I'm in Austin, one of two cities testing out Isis and there is a major push in the AT&T store for it.
I'll report back when I get my hands on the regular sim.
Before I start my rant, why don't you just cut the old one to size?
Funny how AT&T is shooting itself in the foot, again and again.
For dumbphones:
The dumbphone crowd have little loyalty towards att (mostly CDMA or MVNO). other than that, they usually have cheaper plans.
For iphones (neither smart nor dumb) :
The iphone crowd are leaving left and right (mostly to MVNOs), and now with the unlocking, and the new compatible towers, people are heading to T-Mobile.
For android phones:
Their slow updates and bloatware, causes people to dislike buying from them. The fact that they just quit updating, causes people to leave completely.
Now they are messing with the nexus? A phone that just needs service, not support, from them?
Good thing I threw my number at Google. I change providers any time I feel like it. Right now I'm thinking about trying net 10 <att>

I was in the area and thought I might as well get a new one. It's free and only took a few minutes. In hindsight, I should have just cut it and have a working Wallet.
what is the word on this? it is hard to find information. wallet was working fine on my gnex. i cut down the sim and slapped it in my nexus 4 and wallet doesn't work now. if at&t is disabling software on my phone that isn't harming them in any way, we should be writing letters to attorney generals and calling for arbitration.
After many months of no Wallet access, I decided to fire up the app again and this time everything is working well! I don't know when but Google must have either found a way around the ISIS sim card or fixed a bug. Hard to say at this point if AT&T was actively breaking the N4 NFC. Whatever it was, it's now working beautifully!

I've never had a problem with Google wallet on AT&T. But I do believe when the phone first came out an update to the app was needed to get it to work on any network. The update came out around the time of your first post. Here is an interesting article on Google Wallet and Verizon as Verizon does actively block it on their network.

Hi looking at all the posts about Knox it's making me wonder if we can use cracked apps on the note 3 if someone can help me out that would be great also does Knox have to be installed because it just sounds like more problems than being helpful??
yes you can. Knox is like a safe, if you take pictures or use any Knox apps in Knox mode they stay in knox . if you come out of Knox mode you cannot view them.

I may be wrong, but he might be talking about modified apps (such as how a google wallet app was needed on non-supported phones), not illegal stuff.

I am not willing to pay anything before I know that the software will be bugfree and usable. It's kinda stupid to buy dozens of programs which are not working at all. And fifteen minutes payback is quite a little time to see if the program is what you think it would be. And even if it's only few euros, .. if you are forced to many.. that will be quite a lot of money.

That's why there's a refund period. And most developers extend that period beyond what the play store gives.

Dear Americans, we use DEBIT cards. Google Wallet only supports Credit Cards. To get a credit card here you need to have a stable income of over 20.000 a year, solid job (no freelance) and be over 21. Which rules out 80% of the users.
Most of the 750 million people in Europe can't even GET a credit card.
So it's not all cheap, greedy people. Keep your prejudice to yourself.
Oh yes, we have prepaid credit cards: They don't support refunds. So we have to find alternative means to test an app.
There, welcome to the rest of the world.
Now, I for one would also like to know if it works. Simply because I use a few apps that are only available for US users. (Stop being so selfish as a market. Really.)

A lot of Americans use debit cards on the Play Store just fine. How? Most any debit card attached to a bank account can also be run as a credit card. We call them "check cards" when they have a credit card company logo and can be run as either. The difference? Running as credit has no terminal fee or minimum purchase (as part of the credit card merchant's agreement), does not require a PIN, works in more places, but often requires a signature, withdraws from your bank/checking account (no credit line), and does not have the same consumer protections (harder to get your money back if stolen or misused). Also, many places only take one payment type or the other (credit or debit) so a check card conveniently works at both.
Most anyone with a bank account can get a check card even if they don't qualify for credit. Is it really so different there?

I tried that, no such luck. Our cards only have the account number (9 digits), card number(3 digits) and nothing else. I HAVE no number to fill in to Google Wallet.
Tried using my phone plan, but it asks for a CreditCard Number. Which I don't have. (Hah, good luck getting T-Mobile to issue me a Credit Card. :laugh

That would be very useful. But no, we don't have those. I'm not sure our banks even know of the concept.
We have a Debit card with a 4 digit pin. This is direct withdraw. Maestro, it's called.
For Credit Cards we need to get an additional, paid service (50 bucks a year, I believe. and that's just for the registration, you also need to pay for the card.) with Visa, MasterCard or similar, detached services. They're not directly part of the bankservice.
For instance, I have an account with ABN AMRO. If I wanted to get a credit card, I'd have to apply to VISA or ABN Gold (which then gets me a VISA card. This type of account you can only get if you have a balance of over 50.000 on the account. Which'll never happen. I'm a graphic designer.)
You can't actually pay with a credit card in the shops here. Well, you can, but doing so requires filling out a (paper!)cheque, 25 Euro administration fee and a transaction time of a week. In every shop. For every purchase. And even then 80% of the shops refuse it as a method of payment.
The advantage is that if we ever loose our card (or accidentally put the bill unshredded in the paper bin), people can't empty our accounts without the pin number; with a credit card only the cardnumber is sufficient for payment. (The security code is on the back of a credit card...)
That said, I do have a Prepaid 3V VISA card (It's an alarming shade of pink and can only be charged (pre-charged, it works like a prepaid SIM) up to a specific amount per month, but for Google Play it works well enough. Renting a car, however, has to be done over the course of 4 months.) For the apps I do consider worth the payment. (Apex, Tapatalk, Moonreader, etc.)

Not in Europe, they don't.
Our cardnumber isn't the same as the one they use in the US. It's literally just the number of the card, so when you open an account, you always get 001.
It's not personalized.
Open the account, you get:
Account 112234567, Card 001.
Get a new one card after it expires, is lost or stolen, it's:
Account 112234567, Card 002.
Payment over the internet is done via iDeal or a similar service, which requires a cardreader and works withdynamic codes.
