It would never come to Canada. Rbc, CIBC and Rogers have started their own NFC payment service

Well, I'm with Desjardins. I guess it will never show either.

I was also excited for the Google wallet but the fact that it's not gonna come to Canada (at least it seems) really makes me sad. Most annoying part about this is I'm with td and I'm not with Rogers...

By the end of 2014 we should see a large number of NFC payment services in Canada. I was using sure tapp app on my galaxy nexus which allowed me to make NFC purchases at McDonalds and whole green foods. I think they stopped that service ttoo, as they could not get Tim Horton's and other gift cards

With the new Nexus 5 and Android factory image coming with "tap to pay" in the menu settings, surely NFC/Google Wallet in Canada must be getting closer?

Looks like it will be on the basis of individual financial institutions and by carrier. At least at the start.

Send text to nexus 7

I've seen a lot of apps that will send your phone text to a tablet but it seems like none are compatible yet anyone know of any that are yet ?

Tablet talk works great.

I use "What's App." Works great across different platforms (and especially for international texts - no fees!). It's like an instant messaging service, but it piggybacks your cell network if you're tethering.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that it only works if the other person has What's App, too.
I use Google voice, only thing that you don't get are the picture msgs.

Try HeyWire Link ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tZWRpYWZyaWVuZHMuY2hpbWUiXQ.. ) in google play it is free and it works. Takes a few min's to setup and a little thinking because of the way the help files are, well there english is not to good lets put it that way. But it works very well. Hope that helps
Yes, I also use the fantastic product: 'Tablet Talk'

I just use Google Voice which is linked to my Sprint account. Only downside is that you can't receive MMS.
+1 for tablet talk, it works great I just hope for more theme/customizing options in the future.

Whoah, great thread. Thanks for sharing guys. Think I'll try Tablet Talk on my Nexus 7!
Another +1 for Tablet Talk. It gets the job done.

im slow, can i use my existing phone number?
Yes. Tablet talk syncs to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth..so technically its using your cell service as an "extension" to your cell phone. I love it.

Google Voice, however like someone mentioned they haven't incorporated MMS into it yet.
Will try Tablet Talk tho.
I've used Tablet Talk for a couple weeks now and it hasn't really worked for me. I'm thinking that it's probably because of my phone. Does anyone else have a Galaxy S II/N7 pairing that works?

Did you download the update? It has some sort of fixes in it.

Be a bit more specific For example..are you using a 3rd party SMS program such as GoSms or Handicent? If so..read the FAQ for tablet talk.
Whats the issue that you're having?
Seriously amazed by tablet talk, my galaxy s3,suffered the sudden death syndrome, so was in a fickle, bought a cheap Huawei blaze and it's tethered to my phone and having to use tablet talk for texts and calls is amazing. Those using tablet talk for Blue tooth calling how clear is it.

If I'm not mistaken, In tablet talk you have to be connected by blue tooth or on the SAME wifi. An app called CLOUD SMS doesn't require that you be on the same wifi, I can receive text on my n7 even if I'm connected to wifi and my phone is not.

Google wallet payment.

This is the second time I've gone to CVS to make an NFC payment and it fails each time. I get an error try again message. Any advice? I have a stock rooted Nexus with a T-Mobile sim.

I've run into this same issue where it won't work at CVS or toys r us, sketchy at meijer, but works great at Walgreens and 7/11. I've contacted Google and all their wallet department would say to me is that everything looks good on their end, but they are aware of software bugs in the version on our phone and a new version is coming.
BTW, I'm on at&t and I'm fully stock.

It could be that the pad at the store is broken. If it works at one store but not the other, there is not reason to think that its your phone that works. Sometimes the people behind the counter need to press the credit button before you make the transaction as well.
I'll try giving it another shot next time I'm at walgreens or maybe McDonald's

Its been working at Meijers for me.

Google Wallet Gift Cards

I swear I used to be able to add gift cards (like Container Store, etc) to Google Wallet. Anybody know how to do this or what happened to it???
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
I can't find anything useful on googles help pages. It just says to enter the gift card.
I sorta wonder if I flashed a ROM that doesnt have this feature (non US???)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I remember, a while back, seeing someone post a support email saying that feature wasn't currently supported with the N4.

Nice. So hard to find anything on the internet for a niche interest. That makes sense. I guess you probably can't just copy over the apk

Thinking of selling my nexus 4 - Unlink from play account?

Hi everyone
As much as I love my nexus 4 I just can't ignore the earpiece buzzing so I'm thinking of selling it rather order RMA after RMA.
Question is can I remove the devices from my Google account so that they are no longer linked to me and whoever should purchase has no way of obtaining my information or abusing my Google play account?
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Factory reset.
Thanks.
What I actually meant was removing it from my play account so that when I go on play.Google.com and look at my orders and devices my n4 is no longer shown I.e. is completely removed from me?

You will stop seeing your phone couple days after you reset the phone

Isn't there a way to remove it without having to reset my phone ? On the play store my old galaxy s ii and desire HD show up :/ I sols both of them , and reseted them , I don't have them anymore
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
just go to My Orders & Settings ->Settings and untick the show in menus option beside whatever phones you dont want to see.
Are you located in California? What is your asking price?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I think you should RMA the phone. Get them to track all these issues so that there may be hope they will permanently fix the problem. The new phone should arrive within a week or so. If you are still unhappy, then you can sell it. But at least you tried, and LG did not get away by selling an inferior product.

(Q) NFC

Alright I set up Google wallet, and I got a message that my device wasn't supported because I'm rooted. Everything setup fine is it going to work or am I going to look like a jack ass?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Unless someone knows of a workaround, my experience is that Google wallet will not work when rooted.
It works, it just says it's unsupported so Google isn't liable if credentials are stolen (since it's rooted, that can be a risk)
I understand Google covering it's butt, I didn't want to look like a jack ass when it didn't work
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Wallet works just fine when rooted.
I haven't had a problem with Wallet because of root, yet, if ever. Where my Google Wallet wasn't working, that was on Google's side of the problem and not mines (couldn't add card).
Been using it rooted for a while... Go for it!
Been rooted and unlocked since I got the N4 and N7, both reads unsupported, both works fine when I use it. It's just GOOG doing the CYA thing.
Cool I'm going to try it tomorrow in front of some iPhone loving coworkers.
