Google wallet can't add other credit cards

So when I received my nexus 7 I got the ota update that enabled Google wallet. Supposedly Google now allows you to ad. Any debit or credit card in the app. Unfortunately there is no option in the app for me. I thought maybe I can update it in the play store so I searched for it and nothing came up. I did a search on Google and did find a link in the play store but when I click on it it says "This item is not available in your country or on your carrier."

So why isn't this thing updated is it installed as a service I guess with the os because you can't un install it only disable it. I would really like to be able to add other cards

Wallet is for USA only at this time you can only add cards that are registered to a USA address.
For the same reason it will only show in the market for USA devices.

Yeah I know I'm from the us and I live in Tennessee. My Google account is a us one

Are you rooted? If so, you'll need to get the updated apk and replace the existing one in your /system/app/ folder and set permissions to rw-r--r--. There's a thread in the General forum with a link to another thread with the updated apk. After you do that and reboot, the app will be updated.

Why is the wallet app not automatically updated? I think even when I was on stock and unrooted, I couldn't see the wallet app from Play Store.
I found some 1.5 wallet apk though that lets me add any card. Can't remember the exact thread it came from though.

Exact same problem here, this should be the last Android device that would be blocked from getting the update!

Go to the Play website using your computer. Click on 'My Android Apps'. Choose the Asus Nexus 7. Scroll through the installed apps until you find Google Wallet. Click it. Click on 'INSTALLED' and it will offer to send the update to you. Send it to your N7, you may need to be on wi-fi, I'm not sure about that. Now you'll have the other options for credit cards. Just ignore the unsupported device banner. Payments work.

I had to wait a bit (like an hour or so) before it was properly notified that I could update it.

Thanks for the suggestion but Google Wallet didn't show up as an installed app. So I found a v 1.5 apk to install and that was fine. Less than stellar experience for a flagship Google device!

Glad you got the .apk and installed. I'm surprised it wasn't in your list of installed apps on the web page from your computer. I did have to scroll to the 3rd or 4th page of apps to find it. In Google's defense, I think they wanted to make it difficult to do on rooted devices because of potential future exploits.

I could of sworn I tried doing this before, and it said my Nexus 7 was an unsupported carrier (which makes no sense). Now it says it's installed though, but then again I am already using the 1.5 apk.
Whats the unsupported device banner? Does it only appear when you make a purchase? I can't say I've seen it yet (but then again I haven't made a purchase while not on stock).

I think I updated it by searching the Play Store from my laptop and installing it. I think I needed to do it for my N7 and GNex.

You only get that if the N7 is rooted. If you are stock, no warning.
Oops, I see you are rooted. I'll take a screenshot and attach what I see.

Anyway, that's what I get on a rooted N7 updated to the 1.5 version.

Yeah I already tried installing through the website before I posted the question is says: "This app is incompatible with all of your devices..."
I figured there was an apk out there but wanted to know why the heck google doesn't support this for it's flagship device (as said above). Maybe it's just certain tablets? Yes I just rooted my tablet the other day but I had the same issue before root, never showed up as an app I could update.

Should my rooted NST be working better?

Browser crashes when I visit any page.
Opera mini never opens.
Kindle app is listed as Amazon.co.jp and I can't login. WTF?!?!
Market won't search or update to play store.
I can't scroll in the market to different app categories. Only the first page.
Is crap like this normal?
I updated to 1.1 and ran the Nooter project. I thought I did it right, but nothing seems to be working. What am I doing wrong, or is this just it? If so, I might sell the damn thing.

Opera Mini is a known issue. Try Opera Mobile. Which browser is crashing, Opera?
Market will not search or update to Play Store. This is a known issue. The NST runs Android 2.1, so is not compatible with the Play Store. However, you can use SearchMarket to work around this, and the old Market still works for updating and installing once you locate a package with SearchMarket. Again, this is a known issue.
Not sure about the Kindle app. I just see it as "Amazon Kindle" in ADW.
I'd suggest reading the installation threads all the way through so you're sure of what the current status of things are. You may well have had a bad root, but most of the things you've mentioned are known problems. The rooting procedure is a hack, after all, and can't make the underlying old Android OS work any better than it did.
FWIW: I've had good luck with TouchNooter 2.1.31, with everything working as described in that thread (not necessarily everything working).

thanks for the help. How am I supposed to install opera mobile if I can't search for it and I can't get to it in categories?

Scrounge up the apk from somewhere.
That's what I did but I forget where I got it.
I don't use Android Market or Play.

I used the built in browser and went to the Opera web site and installed from there...
Installed the Kindle app via Google Play form a computer. It downloaded and installed when turning wireless on, on the Nook.

Did you try SearchMarket after 24 hours? Did you try installing from a web browser on your computer to install to your NST ("phone")? Did you try installing from the Amazon App Store? From your posts, it's not clear whether you did or not. You also haven't provided us with much info to try to help you with. Did you encounter any errors while rooting? Does anything else work?

OK, let's go through the issues here. I think I've got a summary here from the responses.
1. Don't know why ----------------------------Browser crashes when I visit any page.
2. Known issue (why in nooter?) --------Opera mini never opens.
3. Don't know why ----------------------------Kindle app is listed as Amazon.co.jp and I can't login. WTF?!?!
4. known issue (how to update manual?)----Market won't search or update to play store.
5. known issue --------------------------------I can't scroll in the market to different app categories. Only the first page.
The first one is the built in browser, I don't know why it won't work. It appears it does for others.
I didn't experience any errors in rooting that I know of, but here is my process.
1. ran nooter 2.xxxx
2. had issues, found out I was at NST version 1.01 and ran the wrong nooter.
3. did a hard reset through the button holding method to wipe all data.
4. updated to 1.1
5. ran same nooter again.
after that, the process appeared to work, but I'm having these issues. I might needed to do more and screwed it up. Hopefully this is clear. If it's not, let me know and I'll try to explain better.

The native browser is not fully functional, from everything I've read. TRY OPERA MOBILE.
There's another running thread in which I list the specific steps I've used on my NST, if you're interested.

WWE Network

I saw that WWE Network App came out for the Amazon Fire TV, has anyone attempted to sideload that apk to the ouya?
Looks like its tied to the amazon app store app, it wont launch unless you have the amazon app store installed.
UPDATED Got it to work outside of the fire tv:
Modified the apk to work on other android devices. i belive it only works on 4.2 and above (Sorry Ouya stock people)
*Updated with 1.0.1 Version*
Download Here
Hope this isnt against any forum rules. the application is free and wont work unless the person pays for WWE Network Subscription. Which i DO

I actually have another post up on the amazon fire tv forums asking for an extraction and someone was kind enough to provide the apk for me, since i 'bought' the app on the web app store despite not hacing a device able to run it and also having the amazon app store on the device, i was able to run it. i did have lots of issues and while video technically works, i was not able to pause fast forward etc only go back here is the post:
So i was able to purchase/own the wwe network app from the online amazon store despite me not technically having a device it would run on, this box can also install the amazon app store no problem, though it obviously only sees the android wwe network app and not this one.. GOOD NEWS is that the app is working on my account! its def a bit wonky but i am hoping it is some stuff i can fix with some DPI xposed changes or something of the like, thanks so much very appreciated, and def works!!

I know this post is from 100 years ago, I'm trying to remove the amazon dependency from the APK but I'm having trouble figuring out how to remove the "check". Can you tell me what you changed in the APK so it will run without the Amazon app store being installed?
Edit: NVM, I got it.

It would login and then never actually play the video. I ended up exporting the apk from my fire stick and side loading it to my android box. I also had to install the Amazon underground app in order for the apk to work.

I'm having the same issue. Anyone find a fix?

This only works on the 5th Gen 7" Model. Will not work on the 7" HD Model.

Cool. I am mostly looking to install some good weather app and turn my tablet into an always on weather station. Being my first Fire tab I'm not really sure how to get there. But this looks like a path for me!
I'm thinking I just want to install SOme weather app (there are a bunch) and set it up to never sleep, and always run the app when tablet boots (there are several apps in the play store that do this).
Any thoughts for a newbie?

Yes you have to sign up for the developer program to get the update. Sign in to amazon and then go to this link https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/platforms/android-fireos and on the right side is a orange developer sign up button. Follow through those steps and you'll get the update.
