Google Wallet and Root?

Well, I got my replacement Nexus 7 today, it's the new batch, no lift anymore. It's flawless now.
Since this one is fine, I think I'll root it. But I've heard that Google Wallet doesn't work with root with the newest update.
Can someone explain?

Rooted here on the glazed rom and I can confirm that GW works. Also with the latest update (the one where you can add ANY of your credit cards) You'll get a "unsupported device" notification on the app, but that's a disclaimer. GW still works. I used it twice.

I can confirm it works since I've drained my Gift Card already... several times over by now too.
If you don't have a phone with NFC, the N7 works, but it is a little clunky since it is a bigger device. I prefer to use my phone when making purchases, but now that Wallet supports most credit cards through, I like having the option and not having to rely on the Gift Cards.

No lift for the new batch? Did i miss something?

I have nexus 7 rooted with stick and g-wallet is not working? Why isn't mine good?

which batch? I got c80 from gamestop, and while it feels flawles, I have a 0.1-0.2mm lift in the left edge, acn barely be seen, but there is some flex there. I can live with that though. My Tf101 had significantly bigger issues- Creaked, left speaker stopped working, dock drained battery like crazy, etc etc..!

I unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 and my prepaid card is gone! My free money... Is it really gone?

Bought two nexui and got only $25 credit instead of 50.

I used the same gmail account to register the device. So I got the first tablet $25 and second tablet 0. Is it worth contacting Google on it or did I already loose my chances of getting another 25?

You will have to get a second account. Same thing happened to me.

You only get 1 $25 certificate per email. If youset the second tablet up with a different gmail you'll get the 25$.

OK. So do I have to factory reset it or I can just add the second account on top of the first one and I'll get the next 25.
Ps- I can try these scenarios but since I screwed up first time I wanna be careful this time. Any answer is really appreciated.
Edit: just answering my own question here... I added second account on top of first and the next 25 bucks just appeared on the second one. Thanks for everyone who replied.

a factory reset will work as long as you first log in with the new account

Going in to settings & accounts/ sync and adding the second account is much easier than a frs.

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

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

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?

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.

Nexus 7 WiFi spontaneous shutdown on knock?

Hi all.
I have recently bought (about a month ago) a Nexus 7 32 gb WiFi model. After putting it down with a slight bump on the top right quarter of the back cover it just went off. When I put it back on the battery indicator was on 0% but it was on 80% when I put it down. Scoured the Internet, but couldn't find any one with the same problem. Warranty is still valid. Any one with the same problem and if so, do you think It will be covered by Asus? Any answer would be appreciated, thanks.

To me it sounds like a loose battery connection or broken component. RMA it. Yeah it sucks but it shouldn't be doing that.

Was thinking the same thing... Thanks anyway!

N4 shuts off

As of yesterday my N4 keeps shutting off at different times of the day. I didn't make any changes to it. I haven't gotten the 4.3 update yet.

Is the temperature on or outside the device hot?

Try a factory reset. (Remember to back up things you don't wanna lose)
If that does nothing good, you should probably return it to the place you purchased it from in order to get a warranty repair / replacement.

I had that with my GNex and it turned out to be my battery.
