WARNING: THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK ON 4.1 (JELLYBEAN)
Ok, so first things first! I haven't tried using it to make purchases yet nor have I tried adding or topping up cards (I've only activated the prepaid google card and got the $10)
After 2 weeks of trying various methods and reading through various xda forums/posts etc and google I finally got it.
You'll need;
The latest firmware on SGS3 (can't confirm it will work on previous firmware)
A rooted device
market enabler
and finally the modaco patched google wallet
If you've never had google wallet on your phone you can skip steps 1-2
1. force close google wallet and clear the cache/data.
2. uninstall google wallet and delete any of it's files you might have saved.
3. backup your build.prop file from the system folder and move the original somewhere else.
4. open your build.prop file and look for the lines that says ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, and ro.product.device.
5. you want all 3 to read htc_jewel like so
Code:
ro.product.model=htc_jewel
ro.product.brand=htc_jewel
ro.product.name=m0xx
ro.product.device=htc_jewel
6. move your edited build prop file back to the system folder.
7. put your google wallet apk in the system/app folder using your chosen method.
8. Do Not open google wallet yet (This is where I was going wrong for most of it)
9. restart device.
10. switch NFC on if it isn't on.
11. open google wallet and follow on screen instructions.
options 12 - 14 might not be necessary but I'm putting them just in case
12. open market enabler and set it to t mobile us.
13. open the play store and find google wallet and uncheck automatic update.
14. you can now reset your google play back to UK.
source(s) various XDA posts (Mainly HTC forum) and Modaco for the patched apk
Steps 12 - 14 won't be necessary for sure.
Once you have got it working have you tried changing your build.prop back to see if it still works? Long term implications of having your phone think its something else could break other apps.
Plus on a side note, I thought Market Enabler didn't work with the new market versions?
what is the benefit of having google wallet in the UK? are we able to use it at all and for what?
I can confirm that Wallet now works in LFB without any of the hacks in the OP
Just have LFB rom installed and push the modified Wallet file in the OP to system, reboot and it works.
NFC.apk was upgraded in LFB this must have been included in the changes.
that's good but tell me... who has seen an NFC enabled payment system anywhere in England?!!? I know McDonalds have it, will this Google wallet work with that?! I don't want to bust out my phone to pay and end up looking like a tit! haha

Loads of shops
All McDonalds have them, All Greggs (bakery) have them, Most Pret coffee shops have them now and there are lots more too.
Visa and Samsung are pushing NFC payments for the Olympics so expect loads more to pop up this summer! (along with Visa apps).

Quite a few places in London..
I have an AMEX and VISA with contactless but never managed to get it working.. and yes I feel like a tit for trying each time
:crying:
EDIT:
I managed to get google wallet installed as per Lenny UK's instructions with the new firmware.. I just can't add the google prepay card.
And still unsure whether we can use Google Wallet rather than our normal contactless cards in the UK
sweet i did not know about greggs/subway. That's pretty sweet. I really REALLY want to try this. Anyone actually tried it out and about yet?

Look for Modaco's forum post with this app, he details how to get money loaded onto the app.
over before it began..."Application Not Installed"
and my only choice is "OK". no explanation. My device is rooted and on siryah kernel, Omega 8.0, baseband XXLFB?

You need to push this file to /system/app it will not install like a regular app.... I said this as did the OP... please read
apologies. Excitement got the better of me. Thanks
It seems that you need to make the changes to the build.prop file to add your google prepay card and after that registers, you can resotre your original file.
unfortunately, to add more credit, you need to pay over the odds to use an american credit card.
well hopefully we're all set for when it launches! in the meantime I think my next meal will be on Google thanks for the great thread and info
I got angry with it not working so removed it
Hey Guys, this is great. Quick warning though there is a known issue that if you switch rom, wipe you device or do anything like that without going into wallet first and using the reset wallet option inside google wallet , it can break the nfc secure element in your phone and you will not be able to use google wallet ever again on that phone.
This happened to quite a few people when I wrote a similar thread to this about 3 weeks ago now and some people had to RMA their phone or claim on insurance. I mean it even stopped working on my phone when I tried to remove it properly using the reset wallet option. So i deleted the guide and had the thread closed just incase.
I am not saying that this will happen to you or anything like that, just thought I would warn people as I'm sure as Lenny said there will be alot of english wallet apps coming out this summer for the the Olympics so it might be worth waiting untill then. Not trying to scare people or anything well done to the OP great post just don't want people breaking their new phones.

Likewise, but it does work - you just have to change ro.product.device and ro.product.model in build.prop to "htc_jewel", then force stop the app and clear data in "manage apps", then reboot.

As for the above warning, its good to note, but a bit worrying that google will lock you down like that?

It took me a while too because I had installed the wallet without chaning the build.prop but this is what I did.
in google wallet >settings > reset wallet
delete apk from system/app
restarted the device
backed up and changed the build.prop
placed apk back into system/app
restarted the device
started google wallet
added card.. (it takes about 2-3 mins)
exited wallet
restored original build.prop.
seems like a hassle but I suppose there's a free mcdonald's meal for your hard work
maybe its just me but i am not liking the new google wallet. i like the old one, where i could tap the card i want and pay. now i have to add money to the app then pay pretty much. yes i can put money in but it seems to me, using the old method was better.
so i have the zip file for it from way back i believe. and it wont work. i keep getting nfc force close. which ends up in me reflashing my rom
i have done a google search and it brought up nothing that was helpful. i did follow this guide http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-Google-Wallet-working-on-the-Verizon-Samsung-Galaxy-S4_id43574 even downloaded the zip file to make sure it wasnt the file i had
hopefully somebody has done this.
so, i decided to try this new google wallet and i guess i will have to get used to this new one. i put $50 to pay for the stuff i had. well it didnt work. so i was upset and had to pay via the same card. and yes my nfc was on. so i get back to my truck, and noticed on tap to pay in the nfc settings, google wallet doesnt pop up. i will screen shot this later. could that be the reason why it doesnt work?
now i have to wait until google wallet sends me a deposit, then i can put the money back in my bank.
hope somebody can help me out, google wallet was a nice feature (i think it worked on my s4 running 4.2 mf3 build at the time) but i know it did on my s3 quite well.
Anyone having this problem? I switched my lock screen security over to the fingerprint scanner the other day, and I seem to be having some problems with it. It works ok. Like I can scan my finger, and the screen will unlock, but I keep randomly also getting asked for my alternate password, which is the other way that I can unlock it.
I'll unlock the screen with my fingerprint, then it will ask me for my password. I can hit Cancel, and it will still work fine, or if I enter the password, it takes me to the Lock Screen settings. It also randomly asks for my password if I'm just doing something random, like using Google Maps. And now, sometimes the screen won't even come on, when I wake the device. Black screen, backlighting lights up. What the heck??? Very strange. Please help, thanks in advance,

I used the finger print scanner for a couple of weeks but went back to a pin because it was just quicker to unlock the device. The only time I got the "alternate password" was when I exceeded the five or six tries you get with the finger print scanner. Are you rooted and if so what apps/services do you have frozen?

Thanks for the reply! So, basically after failing to unlock with your fingerprint five or six times, it stopped letting you swipe the scanner, and prompted you for your password? Or did it unlock with your fingerprint on the fifth or sixth try, and THEN ask you for your password? Just wondering.
To answer your other quesiton, I am not rooted, but I do have a number of apps "Turned Off" via the Application Manager. They are:
Accessories
Amazon
Amazon Kindle
Amazon Appstore
Caller Name ID
Drive
Flipboard
Google Play Games
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Music
Google Play Newsstand
Hangouts
IMDb
Isis Mobile Wallet
Memo
POLARIS Office 5

Should I not have any of these disabled? Thanks again!

It would not unlock the phone, I would have to enter the password to proceed. The apps you have turned off should not cause you a problem.

Hmm intersting. So, my problem is different. Anyway, good to know that the apps I have disabled shouldn't cause a problem.
Well, the only other thing I can think of is that maybe an app I recently got is causing the Lock Screen to go haywire. A couple weeks ago, I got an app called Worx Home from my workplace that allows me to check my work email on my phone. It actually forced me to have a security setting enabled on my lock screen, so maybe it's messing with it. I don't recall having this problem when I first got the phone, and tried out the fingerprint lock. Maybe I should mess with that app.
Anyway thanks for the replies.

Yeah, it sounds as if Worx Home could be your culprit.

Yeah, I think that's a safe bet. In fact, if I read the documentation correctly for Worx Home, the app checks your phone's security every 6 hours to make sure you have a password, pin or pattern setup on your lock screen. Guess maybe it doesn't like the fingerprint scanner since it's such a new feature, and it tries to pull up my Lock Screen Settings, hence the random Alternate Password screen.
Alright, guess I gotta either suck it up, or switch to a pattern or something. Thanks again!
P.S. Can disabling S-Voice or Samsung Messages cause any problems?
Hi all!
I'm writing here to see if someone has any idea, it seems I'm not able to understand the reason.
I setup Google Pay on my OnePlus 5 and it was working perfectly, up until some days ago. Now when I put the phone close to the POS, nothing happens, even if I open the Google Pay app before placing the phone near the terminal.
I performed a factory reset of the phone, after that, Google Pay started working again, but then, after a few hours, it just stopped with the same exact behavior, meanwhile I had restored the backup of most of my apps.
I again performed a factory reset, Google Pay started working properly, then slowly started re-installing and re-configuring my apps, constantly testing if Google Pay was working (luckily I found out how to "test" if Google Pay is working without having to buy something*), everything was working properly, but then, apparently without reason, Google Pay stopped working again in the exact same way.
I pinpointed the problem down to Google Pay and not generically to NFC, because Android Beam and other NFC apps are working perfectly. I also tried an app from Visa that emulates a credit card for test purposes (Visa Mobile CDET), this app replaces Google Pay as Tap&Pay provider and when I test the NFC payment with that app set as default, it works, the test card is sent over to the receiving terminal. As soon as I change the default Tap&Pay to Google Pay, nothing happens anymore.
Some additional info: my OnePlus 5 has never been rooted, it is up to date with the latest firmware (OxygenOS 9.0.6). Google Pay is version: 2.90.250604638
Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
thanks a lot!

I never thought about Play Services, but that's the issue indeed.
The version I had installed was:
17.4.55 (100400-248795830)
May 21, 2019
arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a
Android 9.0+

I reverted to the previous one I found on apkmirror:

Android 9.0+

and now Google Pay is working again.
I guess this means there was a bug introduced on the latest version or something like that, it's difficult to say without a changelog
At least this explains the random behavior, Play Services libraries are probably updated in background automatically.
thanks for the hint! Now I have to make sure Play Services libraries won't update automatically and I probably need to monitor new releases as I don't want to stick with an old version forever.
Opened a ticket on the google issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/135132389 please "star" it and add your comments, we need to understand if this is just a OnePlus issue.
Opened a ticket on OnePlus forum: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-5-after-google-play-services-update.1053102/
Possible workaround, however not very straightforward and comfortable, but could be useful to troubleshoot:
- Install Visa Mobile CDET app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.visa.app.cdet&hl=en
- set it as default Tap&Pay app
- as "Use default" option, select "Except when another payment app is open"
- open Google Pay app and keep it in foreground
- pay with Google Pay

From what I understand, it emulates different types/technologies of contactless cards, so merchants can be sure their POSs are compatible with that type/technology of cards.
It should be "safe".
I tried the workaround, and I can confirm it works.
Now we just have to organize a meeting in Bologna, the issue seems to be here

Exactly, the app itself is not useful to us, but it lets you change Tap&Pay default to another app that is not Google Pay and this seems to be unlocking Google Pay for some reason.
I'm really starting to think that the issue is only in Bologna

Which Google Play Services and Google Pay version? Thanks
Hello everyone. Finally I found someone else with this problem! Since may/june 2019 I'm having this strange issue of Google Pay not working anymore. I've been in contact with Google and OnePlus, they reflashed OxygenOS but nothing solved the problem. Google Play Services is now updated to the version 19.4.20, but Google Pay and other NFC apps still don't work. The strange thing is that some NFC apps work properly, other do not work at all... Just like Google Pay. In the meantime, did someone found a stable solution? Thank you all.
Hello Frank!
the only workaround is the one described above, unfortunately, no solution is offered, but it seems it's some kind of compatibility issue with other nfc apps.
for example, andreacos92 realized that after a factory reset, Google pay works properly, but the moment he installed Muver (an Italian nfc app to use mobile bus tickets) and after the first reboot, Google pay stops working, even uninstall ing Muver will leave Google pay broken, the only solution is another factory reset.
any chance you're also using that app? Or perhaps another one using nfc?
Hello all,
I use a dutch bank-app for wireless nfc payments (ASN betalen). It worked fine on my Nokia 7 plus, but it doesn't on the Mi 9t (MIUI 11.03.0). The app says that there are apps active that control displaybrightness and I have to turn those off otherwise it won't work. Then it directs to the 'display over other apps' settings, where the payment-app isn't listed. NFC itself works, I could pay with it until I had to use my fingerprint or pincode for verification. The app doesn't show then, so I can't give any verification.
I disabled automatic brightness and disallowed all the apps at 'display over other apps' (the payment app isn't there). I reinstalled the app several times, I gave the payment-app all the possible permissions, but it still doesn't work.
Does anybody please have some ideas I could try?
Try uninstalling all apps but the bank app.

It's set to the wallet of my simcard. But I don't think that's the issue. NFC works, I even managed to pay with it. The app just doesn't show when I need to use a pincode or fingerprint for verification.

First disable fingerprint & MI Security overlay & automatic brightness. Check: NFC on, HCE Wallet, default app "Betalen".
Then open your payment app (ASN Betalen) before you hold the top of your phone (MI 9) to the terminal.
It should work.
Now you can try to able fingerprint and other overlay apps (Mi security and/or brightness). Or don't change if it works
