Have you set up Google Wallet on the website: ?

Make sure you register a card and what not, like paypal, then see if you can find the app on the play store if it isn't in your main apps list.

I found it on the play store, and there was an enable button instead of an install button.
EDIT: I should point out the app doesn't work.

Thought Google wallet wasnt for UK

Didn't the enable it at the same time they enabled Google Music? Or is it specifically tap to pay you're referring to? Play store purchases are linked to your wallet account afaik

Pretty sure it hasn't.
There are/were ways of tricking it into working though.

You can set up play store to have a pin whenever you try to make a purchase (it is somewhere in play store settings). Some here have said that it is quite easy for kids to get around but I am sure there are ways and means to stop them.
Edit I just found this for some added security

If they learn how to clear the Play Store cache in Settings - Apps, that'll remove the PIN and they'll be able to do what ever they want. I had to do this on my gf's son's as she forgot the PIN to his account, and he couldn't download what he wanted to with his Play Store credit.

[Q] Nexus 4, T-Mobile, and Google Wallet?

I have a Nexus 4 currently. If I pop in a T-Mobile prepaid SIM card, will I be able to freely use Google Wallet (freely as in just download and update from Play Store, no sideloading and other stuff)?
I've heard recently that T-Mobile blocks the use of Google Wallet; wasn't sure if it was a device-specific block, or overall carrier block.

That is not true at all! It woks just fine!!!
I used Google wallet on my galaxy nexus and now on my nexus 4 on tmoblile's network with no problem.
Mabie you misunderstood and they don't preinstall it on their phones. In which case I'm sure there is a .apk file for it out there somewhere.

Works fine for me especially with NFC!
It will work fine. Just make sure you don't get a tmobile sim with isis on it. That will block Google wallet

Is Verizon that blocks Wallet, not T-Mobile.

That's not true either, I've had coworkers with the Verizon Samsung galaxy nexus and Google Wallet worked for then.
Like i said earlier, it is more likely that the carrier or manufacturer removed it from the stock ROM. In which case if your phone supports NFC you can install Google wallet from the play store or get a .APK file. I'm pretty sure there is one here on XDA somewhere.
Remember NCF is still an emerging technology. However most high end android phones manufactured within the past year ( such as the galaxy S3 and S4) have an NFC chip.

Verizon has requested google block access to downloading Google Wallet from the Play Store, but if you sideload Wallet it will work.
Don't need to sideload Wallet, you can just get it from the Play Store. No tricks or hacks needed.
Just make sure that your TMo SIM isn't a ISIS SIM card (google on how to see if its a ISIS sim card)

Install Google Wallet in UK....

HI i have install google wallet yesterday and its working fine.
1. Download the apk file and just install normal.
2. before launching the app go to google wallet settings and change your home address to a random US Address (You don't need to change everything just the city and the Zipcode and select US as the country .
3. launch the app after the setting it works fine.
4. then you can setup tap& pay .
5. go back to google setting and change your original address.
Download Link
http://www.filedropper.com/comgoogleandroidappswalletnfc_1
it works fine .
Thank you very much.
Have you actually successfully paid for anything yet?
would love to see if this is actually possible.
anybody know WHY google wallet isn't officially available (tap and pay form, not online) outside of the US??
There's no point. All of your payments will simply be declined.
are there any tap and pay apps that work in the uk??

The only one I know of is orange/Barclaycard which only works on s3 & s4.
Visa have said they're releasing one this month. But they said that a while ago and new recent news about it.

Not working on my nexus 5. After download it says cannot open file.
I had this installed and running in Canada for a while now. IO used it the other day for the first time at McDonalds and the payment was declined. The error I got was about it not supporting international transactions.
After I flashed a stock rom it appeared on my aussie n5. Noticed it while I was going through my apps on titanium backup and it was frozen. Just unfrozen it and it opens and all but since I'm outside us, it's useless.

Can't we just record d the pay pass information with NFC and forward it like a normal card in store ? Is visa going to make it available in AU too?

I've got it working however I can't remember how to add a card as I'm obviously using a UK post code not a us zip code

Don't work for me, I installed it for tester and now I can't uninstall the app, I tried with titanium too. How I can uninstall this?
Clean master uninstalled it
It installs fine but payments decline everywhere for me. I've tried Gregg's, Boots, MacDonald's and Starbucks

Tap and pay now working on the Xperia Z1

So I've had google wallet for a while now. However after switching from my nexus to the Xperia Z1 last year, Ive been unable to tap and pay using the Google wallet app. They've only allowed me to send money or to see the status of my wallet account which was disappointing.
Today however I got a prompt from my wallet app asking if I wanted yo set up tap and pay o_0. It looks like after having updated to 4.4.2 it's now possible to use this feature... Anyways, thought you guys should know. It's cool to finally have this available.

Where are the google wallet settings or app?
That screen shot is the Google wallet app. At the bottom of the screen shot you can see that it says this device is ready for tap and pay purchases.
What other settings did you want to see?

Just that I cant find google wallet app on the play store, its incompatible with my device.
Can you post the apk and I will see if it works anyway
Are you outside the United states?
Sent from my C6902 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
of course, I am in the UK
I just want to try the app see what happens from the UK
That is the issue then. I'm not sure this feature is available outside the United states. Would need to dig into that. Because the app itself should appear on the store. The fact that it doesn't foe you over there and it does for me here has me thinking.... But you don't need my apk, just download a copy of it here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/app-google-wallet-2-0-r133-v9-t2122313) hope that helps

It works for me. Used it in wall mart, riteaid, McDonald's and hertz. There is a setting now in the general area called tap and pay. Make sure you have google wallet set as your default paying app.

"In what countries is Google Wallet available?
In the United States, you can use Google Wallet to shop in stores, send money, and to make online purchases on Google Play or other online merchants. Outside of the United States, you can use Google Wallet online to make purchases on Google Play in over 125 countries, and at online merchants in over 160 countries and territories."
Only will work in the U.S if you want to tap and pay..

I'm in NY as well. I have the international c6902 and it works for me. Of course this assumes that you
1- have Google wallet installed
2-that you set the app with your credit card
3- that you have nfc enabled.
If your answer is yes yo all three of these then I don't know what could be interfering with the process. Unless of course the places you've tried didn't have the terminal's tap and pay enabled.

In retrospective I should have, but then it's always been the case with wallet that it only works on the states, I guess I assumed people knew. Will add it to the description guess

Google Wallet?

Anyone know if Google Wallet will work on the S5? Predictions? I see they are advertising Isis with the S5 on Verizon.

No.. Google wallet does not works on S5
Yes, Wallet Works
I installed Wallet from the play store and it asked me if I would like to replace ISIS as my Tap and Pay, and I said yes. It is working.:laugh:
Possibly working

Google made changes to Wallet so that it will run, but only on KitKat devices.
http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/14/google-wallets-tap-to-pay-feature-will-require-android-4-4-kitk/
I believe this was to go around Verizon's blocking of Wallet in order to force ISIS on us.

Google Wallet works without a hitch.
Also i dont know if there is to much difference between ISIS and GW. but then again for some reason ISIS has never really worked for me.

Also can confirm you are free and clear to use it. I downloaded Wallet from the play store, installed and it setup in a few mins.
Also it does replace ISIS as the default payment app. Go Google!

Yes.
Google Wallet allows any of my cards to be used. Isis limits it to American Express cards for the most part and it seems to be accepted in a lot less places than Google Wallet. I currently have both on my phone though, cause isis gives you free purchases of up to 5 dollars at a vending machine after 4 tap to pay purchases. (I work at Verizon Wireless I am constantly hitting the machine for bottled water)
