I was wondering if anyone knew if the triband version of the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 had the nfc secure element?
I went as far as getting the modded google wallet and nfc fix to be able to get tap to pay to show in wallet.
When I try to set up tap to pay it gives me NfcSetupFailure : 1 as the error.
Anyone else have success on the triband version using tap to pay? I understand if it doesn't have a secure element its a waste of time until kitkat comes out. Honestly that's really the only feature of kitkat I want so if I could figure out how to do that I wouldn't be worried about the update
Just tried my new T series, and no Tap and Pay....looks like no Secure Element access here.
Here's to KK on the new phone.
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.
For those who have taken the OTA update to Lollipop, is there a way to get tap and pay / tap and go working with Google Wallet? If so, I can't find it.
I have found instructions for checking for tap and pay capability in KitKat Settings, but Lollipop Settings screens have changed and I can't find any reference to tap and go.
I have been doing some reading about the tap and pay problem. Apparently Google Wallet relies on something called "Host Control Emulation" for tap and go capability, but this is not supported by our NFC chipsets. But I was hoping that Lollipop would fix this - either by Google Wallet using another means to work with the NFC chipset, or by updated NFC drivers.
Where did u find something for kit Kat and it works?

I didn't find how to get it to work in gn3 - just found instructions on how to check for the capability on a device running Kitkat. The instructions are as follows:
To see if you can tap and pay with your Android device, follow these steps:
Go to your phone's Settings.
Touch More settings.
Make sure NFC is turned On.
Go back to Settings.
.
Check for a "Tap and Pay" option in the menu.
If you can see the "Tap and Pay" option in the menu, you can Tap and Pay with your device.
But these instructions are no good for Lollipop - there is no "More settings" option.
I knew that Google Wallet tap and pay would not work on the GN3 running Kitkat - I was hoping that the problem would be fixed with the update to Lollipop. Either it's not fixed, or I haven't found out how to enable or activate it.
I found a good thread discussing the problem - and the OP was asking the same thing - would the problem be fixed when Lollipop was released. He had lots of links explaining the problem: It does seem that Google could fix the problem if wanted to.

This past week, I've been reading that Google is pushing "Google Assistant" out, to replace the standard "Ok Google", to a bunch of Marshmallow and Nougat phones.
Has anyone received that yet, or know if the Axon 7 is going to get it soon?
Every phone running Android 6.0+ will receive the update but you already knew that. They are running the roll out as we speak but only for English users in US. English users in Australia, Canada and UK and Germany will soon follow. Rest during the course of the year apparently. So if you are in the US you will likely receive it soon or may already have received an update to the app. Hope this clarifies.
I just got the update a few minutes ago! I'm in northern California.

I literally just got it a few minutes ago, Northeast US here. It's extremely quick, I'm impressed.
Yep, you guys prompted me to check mine, and I have it too!
I hate it. I use long press for Google Now to search like a hundred times a day. Now it is the Assistant and I see no way of typing my query. So now I have no way to do a search in one step. Anything I can do to get it back the way it was? Or a way to get a text field into Google Assistant?
yes!.. its working for me.. but..
dont know how it started working?
dont know where it the got the update from?
dont know where to check the update?... can someone pls help me find the answer?
use to use the long home press to check screen search.. disabled it today and thought because i disabled it, the assistant got kicked in.
Happy its working now coz the only reason wanted to get the pixel is for the assistant. this is great!
It seems like Google just doesn't want me to have assistant lol

I can force my phone to set up the Google Assistant, naturally, by removing my account and clearing data from the Google App, Play Services, and Play Store, and then holding the home button > then adding my account. But as soon as I back out of the assistant it goes back to On Tap.
How do you update, is this an upgrade to Google home? Presume this is not available to the Chinese version?

If you have the correct Google app, you already have Assistant. It just wasn't enabled yet. I don't know exactly how it works, but the app sees that you're on Marshmallow or higher in your build.prop and enables it. I currently have a Nexus 6p and before Google decided to enable it for all phones over 6.0, devs figured out that changing a couple of lines in the build.prop tricked the app to think the phone was a Pixel, thus enabling Assistant.

I found those instructions weeks ago but I'm not rooted and there's no option to add languages so I'm screwed. The update also made do not disturb mode turn on 24/7 unless I completely disable it. What a load of BS.

I feel your pain bro. I hate this fact. I'm still using the Pixel launcher which has the search widget for text. I find myself going to the home screen to do my Google searches. It's horrible.

I'm using Nova so I set it up so that pressing home (once home) or swiping up on the drawer icon takes me to search. Yeah it really sucks to have to go to the home screen. That damn assistant sucks. It forgets my voice training after awhile too and I have to do it again.
I have on my G version, I don't know for sure, but I got so fed up waiting, I tried changing my language to US, rebooted the phone and bam! Within 10 seconds I had it. Also I had updated to the latest google play services. I had done this a million times but nothing happened until the language change. Coincidence?

Noticed after installing Nougat on my Verizon S7 Edge that the files listed for the Note 7 workaround are now available. Only problem is, using quick shortcut maker doesn't seem to work as it had with Note 7. Makes the shortcuts fine, but obviously they don't work.
Also checked sammobile for the cloud apk file. was from 3 months ago, downloaded and tried to install. Upon doing that, phone said it was an update to my current program. Then said it could not install. Which leads me to believe we have the correct files, but Verizon still has it locked down?!?!
So my question is, has anyone found a workaround yet? Or does this mean that Verizon is "considering" giving us Samsung Cloud finally?
Verizon removed it completely.
Thanks for the quick response. I was just surprised to see all the files available to use the shortcut maker on. Guess I was kinda hoping that Verizon would finally step up and give us Samsung Cloud. Oh well.
Verizon will never allow for a service like that, because they don't make extra money off it.
I'm still surprised that they haven't figured out a way to prevent Google Maps from working on their network as well, so they can force everybody to use the for-pay VZ Navigator.

That she would be my last day with Verizon and probably a class action lawsuits like they did to cable providers over forcing cable boxes.
