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.

Navigate to Settings > Apps, and enable the option which lets you see all apps.
Then, you scroll down the alphabetical list to Google Services Framework, open it up and tap Clear Data and then Force Stop.
Then go back and check for an update by going to Settings > About > System Update.
It took me 3 or 4 tries to get it to show, but it works!

Thats actually a BAD idea man.
Take it from me, or from say someone who writes android

Okay, so why is it bad? It won't hurt anything on your device. They probably don't like it on their end because they want to control the rollout.
Doing so will cause problems with your Google account and services.There have been many reports of people not being able to update or install apps, etc., after doing this. Also the dreaded Google Play [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] error.
Do so at your own risk. But its been heavily covered on xda and anywhere else.
Won't install
I have A Verzion 3G Xoom did what was suggested and it worked perfectly except.... When it rebooted to install it got about 1/3 of the way through and I got the triangle with the ! sign and the Android robot standing underneath it? It is a rooted,unlocked Xoom. I was just wondering if anybody had any ideas why it won't install??
Thanks
G.H.
Becsuse is roots, so cant installed.

Thanks..
Thank Abds...that explains, forgot Verizon wrote it!
I'm familiar with the reasons why Google wallet tap and pay hasn't worked for the Note 3 in the past, due to the particular NFC hardware used, but there were rumors floating around that the needed drivers would be added for the 4.4.3 update. Here we are, post 4.4.4 update, and we still cannot use tap and pay.
Who is still holding this up and why? Will this EVER work for us? Dies anyone have any new information on this?
Thanks

I think he is mistaken but I chatted with someone at google today about that very subject. His response was that Wallet tap and pay should work fine with my VZW Note 3 without my having to do anything other than turn on NFC at the checkout since I have updated to Kitkat 4.4.4. So either their customer service folks are being fed bad information or the carrier is totally lying to us or it really does work but I won't know until I go someplace that accepts it and try it. I'm sure gonna feel stupid standing in that line tapping my phone on that panel and nuthin' happening.
I admit, I haven't actually tried it, but that's because I'm sure it won't work. We don't have the specific "tap to pay" section in the os settings menu, therefore, how could I possibly toggle payment methods between "Softcard" and Google wallet? and I know from previous phones that Google wallet must say "tap to pay ready" somewhere. Not to mention, it still says Note 3 does not support tap to pay on the Google Wallet support page.
Anybody else have any experience with Google or Samsung support regarding this issue?
I'm setting up my Nexus 6P and see this option that says I can transfer stuff from my old android to my new one but when I open Google App and go to settings I cannot find anything called "search for nearby device"...where is it? Also, is this feature in just Lollipop and higher?
I believe it is only available on Lollipop and Marshmallow, and might only be part of the initial setup of the phone. I don't know if you can invoke it manually.
It's at the bottom of Google app settings.
Edit: Correction - go to Settings>Google, and it's near the bottom.

Settings, Google, Set up nearby device
Well, if it is only in Lollipop and above that would explain why I can't find it on my Note 3 running Biggins final KitKat release then Oh well, I just backed everything up with Titanium Backup and transferred that to my Nexus 6P and retrieved my stuff from there. Thanks all!
Anyone get WiFi Assistant working on Nougat? most articles have the instructions below but I cannot find the networking option. Anyone have success with this?
If your phone is ready for WiFi Assistant, you should see the option in Settings>Google>Networking. You may also find it in Settings>WiFi>Gear icon (top right). From within there, you will see a toggle for “Use open Wi-Fi automatically.”
I’m not currently seeing it live on my Nexus devices, but you may. Be sure to head into Google Play and update to the latest version of Google Connectivity Services. You may also need an update to Play Services as well or maybe you just need to remain patient.

SOLUTION
Ok, I found the settings it wasn't under anything called networking though. had to go to advanced in the wifi options and use open Wifi automatically aka the wifi assistant feature -__- I love great instructions
who would've thought. and you have to actually click that option to see what it does.
It's in Settings --> Google --> Networking if thats what your referring to. Seems to work decently.

For me it's in the Settings>Google>Networking. Also if you have WiFi Assist, it will be called WiFi assist. It will actually prompt you about connecting to open networks and optimizing and securing them.
Anyone know why Nougat 7.1.1 wifi advanced setting set wifi region code is mising right now and mashmallow 6.0.1 has an option?
What about when the whole option is missing? Just noticed recently the always on vpn is greyed out and where wifi assistant *used to be* it now is not. I even reverted google connectivity services back to factory (uninstalled updates), nothing, updated it, still nothing.
Hi. I recently purchased a Joying Android Head Unit JY-UL135N2. I have been watching alot of YouTube videos about setting up the device and I noticed that I have none of the settings that I see on the videos like "Driving Settings" and "Factory Settings". All I have is normal android settings. Am I doing something wrong or is there more settings that im not aware of? I did see a Icon that says "Car Media Settings" but the options in their are not the ones im looking for. Im trying to turn off the head unit guidelines for the backup camera because my camera that I purchased already has guidelines so Im seeing two sets of lines when it is active.
Thanks
My unit arrives on Thursday I'll let you know by then but a lot of those videos are of the older 5.1 units so it may be different or maybe try asking in the joying forums

In "carmediasettings", there is third tab look like settings icon.
Passwords "3368"
there is option for remove backup camera guideline.
Developer options in the main system settings menu also has the password 3368.

the lights option is under the CarMedia Settings, but for some weird reason it only shows up if your lights are already on
Thanks that worked great. I have another question tho.... I want to install Viper4android but I can't find any solid info on how to root the 5.1.1 HU's. Any information would be greatly appreciated
Maybe reading this helps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...roll-joying-2gb-sofia-mtcb-mtcd-tips-t3555249
Viper is not quite worth the headache. Look into upgrading the audio chip in the unit itself
