So, aside from the hacked version of Google Wallet that we can't easily top-up, has anyone managed to get any NFC payment systems working on their Nexus 4 in the UK? There seems to be a few around but it's all a bit.... confusing to say the least.
Anybody got anything?
The only one I have working is orange quick tap which is actually a barclaycard app on my galaxy S3 allows NFC payments been using it for a while now , tried to install the apk onto my N4 but its not supported yet .

NFC payments UK
So is there anyway I can take advantage of the NFC in my lovely N4 to pay for stuff in the UK? It'd be a real shame if not.

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_7_8GB?id=nexus_7_8gb&hl=en
Im from India and clicking on the above link gives the error
"Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet.
We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.
Please check back again soon."
As expected since im from India
The Nexus 4 has launched and will bew going on sale for $350 for the Unlocked 16GB version of the phone
What i intend on doing is order the phone off the Play Store for my Dad who is based in US so that he can then ship it to India
He is always busy at work so is there any work around on how i can make that link useable in India to the order it
Proxy maybe ?
Oh and payment for Device can be done without a Paypal ? As my dad should have a Credit card
Thanks for the help
I was thinking of using a Proxy, but is it safe for shopping ??
Oh and can someone please explain to me the means to order it, Credit card/google wallet/ payapal ?
I wouldn't order some anything with a credit card over a proxy, they're insecure.
Sorry, there really is no other way. Until and unless Google opens up the Play store and sells the Nexus in India, you cannot go through the checkout process from India. The billing and shipping address are required to be the same, in which case it needs to be based in the US.
Damn :/
Thing is i only need to do the browsing
AS iwill be using my dads credit card or any other means of payment
All i need to know is payment options
Thanks
Just have your dad set up teamviewer and send you his passcode ( 1 minute of less ).
Then when he is away from the pc for more than 5 minutes you can browse google play website and order using your dad pc through your pc with the help of teamviewer.
Ohk so you want your dad to send it to you.
What you can do is give him this link http://www.google.com/nexus/4/
and tell him to press "SHOP NOW"
hope that solved your problem
ill do the team view thing
Will a VISA Credit/ Debit card work ? Or do i need google wallet ?
Credit card must work.
Your are going to use a USA card.
The card's location of issue must be the same as the addressing location. Not sure how exactly it works or if there are any work arounds.
Use Google.com
The specs are amazing and i just love Android.Unfortunately for reasons unknown Google is not so keen on launching their Nexus phones in India . It was true for the Galaxy Nexus and i don't think that Google has any plans of launching this one in India. My brother who stays in US will be coming home for Christmas and i will ask him to get the 16 GB version which will cost just 18,500 INR (approx)...... that's almost the price i had paid to get my Motorola Defy a year ago .Are there any limitations of using this phone in India...i read somewhere that the phone will have a built in battery ? is that true ? If yes....is it possible to change the battery if i have any issues with the existing one or once the stock battery dies out.
Regardless of area availability, you linked to a discontinued product . They aren't selling the 8GB version anywhere anymore

We will not know until someone gets their hands on the phone and does a tear down of it.

You are totally wrong. LG has an official statement released that they will be very much launching a NX4 in India. Heck even Google said it is coming to 200 countries. So no way they have missed India.
I too am from India and am desperately waiting for it to show up on the Play Store.
It will only be available from Google in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia.
All other places will have to buy it through local retailers/phone providers, where it will probably be significantly more expensive.

okay so my n7 screen does look dull and washed out and i have seen the Disable NVidia Tegra PRISM app for .59p or whatever, but the problem is i have no debit card to link to a google wallet account. im not beeing cheap or anything i just cannot download paid apps haha:good: but on custom roms does the screen seem any better ? i have not tried any custom roms yet as stock seems to be okay for me. but just wondered does the screen seem to be abit more lively in any custom roms without the apps ?:laugh:
If you have and android phone you can link the playstore to your phone bill and pay the money thru adding it to your next bill.

Nexus 4 16GB is about $250 from Google Play. Everywhere else without a contract it is more than $300? Am I missing something? Does the one bought from Google Play work at all the major carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and the small places like MetroPCS, etc?)
The price drop is recent and T-Mobile at least was trying to gain capital by over pricing the phone. The Play Store version is the exact same as the T-Mobile minus some coding that makes it be seen as a T-Mobile device. It is already unlocked. The one I have was bought from a guy that got it from a store. It works with any SIM I put in. By yours from the Play Store, don't get ripped off!

There is zero difference between the T-Mobile Nexus 4 and Play Store Nexus 4. The software and hardware is exactly the same.
Yup just got one from the Google website Cut down the SIM card, put it in and everything work.
Tmobile still want about $435 fire one.

Also until the price drop it wasn't that much more. $350 vs $428. That's a $78 difference. Or $3.25 a month to make 24 monthly payments on it instead of buying it out right.
Go to any rent to own store and you're paying almost 2x retail.
Now at $250 you would be silly to buy it from T-Mobile. Expect a price change soon, especially when the N5 comes close to launch.

Why would you cut the sim card when the micro sim is free at tmobile...? Just stop by and pick up the new one, then activate it online.. That's what I did.

I know its free and I've gotten them before but I get home from work at 9 pm. The phone was for my daughter and she wanted /need it the next day. If I would have fubar the sim card during the process, would head to tmobile in the morning.

Thank you for all the replies. I'm going to get two of the Nexus 4 and the $30 pre-paid deal with T-Mobile. Some folks said they had trouble activating a Nexus 4 with that deal. Anyone had similar issues?

The phone you are using doesn't matter. There were a large batch of sims a long time ago that had trouble activating with that plan online (and you are suppose to only be able to activate the plan online). But generally it is not an issue. Worst case is you have to spend time on the phone with T-Mobile CSR. Just make sure you get a SIM activation kit, not just a "SIM".
Hello guys. Does any of you know how we can set up Google Wallet Tap N Pay to work in Europe or any other app with Tap N Pay option?
you're the only one who use this...

how u mean only one? In every store u have PayPass, thats mean u can use Tap N Pay in every story, If ppl in USA can use it, we can use it too in EU.
if you don't know, europe is 10 years behind usa...
I dont think so ?

I wish I could say it wasn't , but technologically the EU is years behind the USA.
NFC payment is supported by banks, for instance. I've got an NFC chip in my bank card and it's been activated. I can use it wherever I wish.
But the shops? They're still using the phone lines for their pin machines.
The same pin machines they used 18 years ago, which don't support contactfree payment, let alone online payment.
And the NFC system is quite a bit older in the USA than Google Wallet.
There's no point introducing online payments if the shops thenselves won't and can't accept it.
Hell, most places don't even properly have 4G yet.
And as Larry Page has said; Until the EU starts moving forward technologically, Google Pay is not coming to the EU.
Google isn't the problem here. It's the government, and in particular the shop owners.
Many of which don't even have an internet connection in the shop. Little hard to recieve online transactions that way.
So you want Google Wallet, stick a boot up your government's arse to get them to invest in technology. Until they do, it's not happening.
That's what we get for having atechnical, primitive primates as our countries' leaders.

The required HCE security chipset is not built into the Note 3 for android pay. So unless they change the software with extreme security precautions, it will not work.

I will confirm this on the weekend. I just spoke to Verizon tech to order new sim card for two new phones (upgrading other users, not note 3s). I asked about that and they stated the nfc sim card is incompatible only on the note 3 but they are freely sending out new updated ones to anyone who ask for it. I did and they said two day shipping on my new nfc/sim card combo that should work with Google wallet/android pay. I will update you with results this weekend. After some research, this is my conclusion after reading between the lines of the tech girl who said she has sent out many new sim/nfc cards for note 3 users since isis/soft card shutdown. My conclusion is the note3 cam with a locked sim/nfc to work only with isis. Since it shutdown, Verizon is giving out the HCE (unsecured) sim/nfc cards (free of charge, just ask them for it).
