I was wondering if any found any real good use of the NFC or the Google wallet app. I have $10 from signing up, and am thinking about going over to 7-11, but it is weird when on the MasterCard finder, it says there is NFC checkout and you don't want to seem like an idiot trying to check out.
So little use for it I have NFC what to use it for.
No Wallet here in Australia and no other NFC devices for me.

For my work I made posters advertising our Facebook page we set up, I put NFC tags in the posters with a little tap here logos on. Works well, loads your web browsers and takes you to the Facebook page. All companies need to do the same!

I have a few nfc chips (compliments of tagsfordroid) I've got a key chain tag that I use when I leave the house, it disables wi-fi, enables gps and bluetooth, increases ring tone volume. All the little things that take a few minutes of my time are now simplified with the tap of a tag! I also use nfc for other various tasks and it's proven to be very helpful

It would be so much simpler and have a far greater reach if you just had a QR code in it.
Using NFC for just a website seems a total waste to me.

The only thing I saw with it, was that it can'y verify payments immediately unless it's connected. I have tried twice. Once at Best Buy, failed because the systems don't work. Second at 7-11 and it worked but it doesn't say whether it took the money ou, because I didn't have it connected.
for a good list of usage examples of NFC go to the comment section of this post

Some are standard some are pretty original.
I've used nfc only for transferring photos from phobia to tablet since I don't auto sync them with a cloud storage. Beats having to do a few more clicks thru bluetooth

Had this happen too at McDonalds and 7-11, but then again it would let me purchase regardless. The money would end up being pulled from a credit card later, so no big deal here.

I thought places just had to accept NFC, or Mastercard's PayPass thing, and not specifically Google Wallet?
I like to take an nfc chip with me where ever i go and find ladies with nfc capable phones and put my contact in their phone all ninja-like and then just be casual and say "aye bay bay, call me sometime" and when shes like "i dont have your number" i tell her to look at her phone and her panties instantly become soaked.
you guys should try it some time.

Gotta try that.
This is my first time having an NFC device, so please bear with me. I rooted my phone the evening I received it. Now I'm trying to set up Google Wallet, and it says that my device is unsupported. In the help topic regarding this message, it mentions something about rooted devices being unsupported due to security reasons, can I still use this feature? Is it discouraged in any way?
If anybody has some insight or experience with this, I'd like to know.
I have the evo lte rooted with same unsupported device message, yes it will still work

The reason it is discouraged is because anyone (with the now-how) can brute-force access your pin if your phone is rooted. And then skip away making payments on goodies.

Well seems about as secure as having somebody run off with your actual wallet... So off-topic but where are the places where I can actually use Google Wallet >_>

Any place that has tap-to-pay or pay-pass features (forgot what the actual name is). I've seen it at McDonald's, CVS/Walgreens, Best Buy, and a few other large chains around town.

Plenty of you fly to Japan and China, they have been using it for years. You can try looking up PayPass mechant, such as this link: http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works/in-store.html
So it doesn't have to be specifically for google wallet? They work on the things like the speedpass at speedway or your creditcard where you just tap it to the machine and it gets your infO?

Awesome! Looking forward to trying this out in the next few weeks. Hope I remember to try it when I see it...
I tried to use this at Walgreens today. They had the translucent blue PayPass terminal. I sat there for about 30 seconds and nothing happened. I even tried to enter the app and still nothing. NFC was on, and my card is attached in Google Wallet.
I think I set up wallet, then unlocked and rooted, then had to re-set up Wallet. Am I doing something wrong? The clerk was staring at me like I was crazy, just holding my phone next to the terminal....

I had that happen at Taco Bueno. And a McDonalds. But at some McDonalds it works. I think that so few people use this system that when its broken no one complains. And its probably never even tested when they set it up.
Typically you can just tap your phone to the thing (no need to be in the app). It'll prompt you for a PIN. Then you can pay.
If it's not working you may have a poor data connection? I think it requires data to work.

I'd still say it's more secure than that. Anyone can swipe a card and charge it as credit. Relatively few people would know how to brute force hack google wallet on a rooted device.
Everyone.
Google wallet does not require a data connection.
If its not working , I read on the wallet website to "hold it about an inch" from the terminal. Without placing it on the terminal. Try to see if that works.

Yeah mine didn't work at the gas station the other day, though I didn't log out of Google Wallet before I flashed a rom and rooted recently so some say that it'll never work again after that because of the secure element getting locked or something like that. Hopefully that's not true.
I've flashed and reflashed a lot. All you need to do is delete the data, connect to high speed internet like WiFi, then open it up. Worked for me.

Ok, I've tried to get Google Wallet on my rooted S4 without asking too many questions, but I'm not sure if I'm messed with the system too much or not but regardless of what I do I am unable to get the NFC portion of Google Wallet working. I am running MDL and have frozen SE on the system.
I did try to follow the information on how to get it to work for the S3 and the S4 on AT&T but I am either missing a step or am really bad at getting simple things to work. Does this work on a rooted S4? Are the steps even the same? How can I learn more about this without running and asking questions for every little problem I have? (last one is really just more of a frustrated question).
If anyone could take a few minutes to point me into the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. If it can't be done, I understand (and may be relieved as sad as that sounds).

I have Google wallet installed. It says "unsupported device" but it works on my rooted phone. Wallet may not work on AT&T but it works on Sprint.
What rom/kernel are you on? I'm using agat (64gb exfat works great!) and kuban rom and google wallet does not even launch for me.

I actually have Sprint, but have been reading the other forums just incase my questions can be answered by a little research.
The problem I have is that it still says unsupported device but when I go to scan against an NFC reader (IE like those at CVS) it doesn't transmit anything. I turn my phone on, open it, and even open google wallet but nada.

Stock (MDL) rooted rom. I have frozen a few services /apps and removed the Sprint scumware that was installed along with a few samsung apps, but haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Crawrj actually posted a fix for the Google Wallet issues on rooted Mdl but has taken it down since he baked it into the MDl rom. I think I still have the zip to fix the issue on my computer, so I'll put a link here in a bit :thumbup:

I actually may have stumbled upon the fix using NottachXposed. Basically I just installed Wallet as normal and attached my account, then I went to NottachXposed›Applications›checked Google Wallet hack and rebooted. I have used Wallet 2x since doing so at 7-11 and at CVS. Nag screen does not show and my purchases went through.

Who cares what google search comes back with? Guessing/speculation/your mom talking about cats. The reason I posted here is because people who tend to know what they're doing come to xda for news/know-how.
Is the missing launcher really a bi-product of optimization and the always listening feature? Or is the GEL launcher going to be available on the store? Maybe you don't know but that doesn't mean that a developer or somebody else doesn't know.

Despite the reputation that xda has for people who know what they're talking about there's still you. Research would imply that there is information elsewhere that:
A. I care about.
B. exists.
4.4 for Nexus 7 2013 is a few hours old. I already said I don't care about speculation. Stop being an ass. The first thing I did was google this and when nothing was found I started a post. Did you do any research before you posted that link? Read the first four pages of results. Read the first 100 pages of results. There's no links to statements from google or any developer anywhere that has looked into anything. Instead there's a bunch of people who all regurgitate information, whether cited or not from The Verge, who also don't cite a source. They just say vaguely that Google told them. Right... because Google talks to The Verge and The Verge exclusively.
Let me change the question for you. Don't answer it. It's clear you're just a moron. This is for somebody else.
Is there really a hardware reason to exclude the Google Experience Launcher? Does anybody know if GEL really uses anything from the 800 or is Google just running a trial on the N5 users?
In addition, has anybody seen whether or not somebody has tried to take the apk from a Nexus 5 and run it on a Nexus 7?

Those first builds of 4.4 that came around when the Nexus 5 was launched actually had the whole GEL. the only problem was the keyboard would pop up when you went back to the homescreen, but other than that, it was working fine, so the only reason I can see as to why they would have left it out of the tablet would be to give the Nexus 5 some more bullet points on its feature list than other products out there.

I didn't take any time to tear into the build and tinker with it, but if there was any battery impact, it was too small to notice. I was still getting days of use. Even though the keyboard thing wasn't fixed in that build, maybe now that official builds are out and about, it can be fixed and sideloaded. I mean, all it was was a install of Google Play Services, the Launcher and the latest Google Search. Hopefully it won't be too hard to package those up and have them working soon.

As far as aesthetics go, no, changing the color of the notification bar text and icons wasn't enough. At all. Considering we didn't get the transparent notification bar or the new app drawer icon. I'm getting my fix of those two with Nova Beta though. Gets me all of those things, plus it's pretty stable.

Yeah I was more being sarcastic. Even though I was more looking forward to just having a bit more stability in everything I use the tablet for, I can't say I wasn't a little bit disappointed not having a very obvious "New Update Day!" feature to have fun with. And if Action Launcher wasn't the most overpowered launcher out there, I might use Nova. I just can't get over that Quick Panel. its too useful

It's been done but you lose a lot of functionality like hot word detection and the ability to go into the assistant's setting menu. Not sure if that's for unrooted only though.
I've done it and have complete functionality it's kinda of a pointless feature does not give you much more then Google now does in my opinion I followed this to get it to work http://lifehacker.com/how-to-get-google-assistant-on-any-phone-running-androi-1787706402 I don't use it myself anymore because you have to have the newest Google app and I used the tbo edition that has not been updated yet
