[Q] Google Wallet support? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does the Nexus 7 support Google Wallet? I've only heard one report that it doesn't show up in the Play Store and billions of journos C&Ping that it was rumored to have Google Wallet.
AFAIK the NFC chip has a Secure Element so will Wallet actually work and has anyone tried it?

regardless of hardware support, I read in a review somewhere that wallet is not included. I don't remember which review and hopefully someone else will confirm.

It can use google wallet. I don't know if it comes pre-loaded, but my buddy that works for google says it works with GW.

Yes, Google wallet support

Coolio. So it looks like I just need to sideload the APK from Play if it's not there... Thanks!~

No need to side load it. Just visit play.google.com in the browser and search for wallet. When you get to the point just before opening the app page you'll be asked if you want to open it with your browser or the play app. Select play app and you can install it from there. Its the same process that we vzw gnex users had to go through tob get wallet from the play store.

I think the Android App store is borked

Under most popular apps, #6 is an app that monitors your service time if you're a Jehova's Witness. Really?

I agree...horrible organization and what not, if theres one thing that makes the iPhone what it is..it's the ease of the app store and the number of apps, not to mention there quality apps. One of the few things Google could learn from Apple.
Lmao, I had to check for myself, and sure enough.. It was there lol. I guess a lot of jehovas use Android.
I had to check.....
You would think Google would have some kind of relevant idea of how to properly organize, sort, and search data. I think might be cool for them to move into that field of research. What? That is Google's business?
on a serious note.. wtf is up with the market anyways, very poor features.. why cant we search by downloads number? rating? seems like basic functionality requirements of a marketplace to me.
sigh..
I believe that the best seller apps update or are reset once a month or once a week. That's the only explanation I have.
Is there somewhere to make an official request for a market filter (blacklist)? I would love to be able to blacklist publishers so they don't show in my search or any listing in the market. Genwi comes to mind as a garbage publisher that needs blacklisted.
Also, do "test" apps have to show up in the main Market? Really?? Come on.... Maybe devs should have their own sandbox market to play with.
That'll be great
What a joke, now that Jehova's Witness crap is #4. Is that organization paying Google or is the Market organization just ****ing retarded? I know that's not the 4th best selling app.
I love my nexus, but the whole market/app thing seems to be way over googles heads.
I sure hope we're not waiting for Froyo to get a better market.

It means what is says. Either its intentional or there will be a fix shortly.
I received Google's response. Basically, they said it was a copyright safeguard issue. I understand that this was intentional, I OP was in the context of the implications, especially in light of Google's response.
If that is Google's position, is it possible that they could extend this to any of their apps that involve protected content such a Books and Music? The whole "rooted" issue is a Red Herring anyway, because technically, our desktops and laptops are "rooted. "
Is Google starting to get pressure from the OEMs?

Try an app named 'on the air root keeper' from market it temporary unroots the device so that you can use any app

Google Video blocked rooted devices since LONG before the Play rebranding.

There are several ways around this. the easiest is simply to rename the su binary to something like mu. Play your video - then rename it back.

[Q] Has anyone else found that Google wallet works on N7?!

Just for fun I decided to try to sign into Wallet. I didn't have any faith that it works since it doesn't work on my Evo LTE. Not only did it activate, it showed $10 in my account. What was interesting was that the $20 I loaded onto the phone does not show on the tablet. Obviously, it's device dependent.

it was all over the web several days ago
I can't wait to look so cool at Starbucks by swiping my tablet to pay.
I read about the update but I missed the part where someone said it works. I have it on my phone and it doesn't work, despite being one of the features that was played up.

It should work. It was pushed out and can make payments without being connected to the internet.
As a matter of fact, I activated it on my gnex and I got the ten dollar credit. I used it with no problem. Today I got my Nexus 7 and set it up, and got another ten dollar credit. The gnex shows balance zero, the 7 says ten dollars. For what it's worth, if you set up wallet on a rooted device, there is a warning art the top of every screen that the device is not supported for security reasons. Everything still works fine though!

The pop up on your screen told you why you cant download the movie. Your location says hong kong, for some reason google must have some kind of restriction on which countries can download certain content.

My Nexus7 is imported from US. I used US VPN and already received Google Play $25 credits. So for movie is different? I thought this is the same bonus for US Nexus7.

The only thing I can think of is that google can still tell what country you are downloading the movie from.
Or he chose Hong Kong during setup... and needs to change his location that way. Also, you might want to disable GPS too

I didn't turn on any GPS when i turned on the US VPN. Or maybe my VPN failed? Any other better VPN can share? Or I need to reset factory again? @@

I was hoping I could get some inspiration here
So what did you name your Nexus 7 on:
Play Store
Bluetooth
PC?

I see what you did there
Maybe "Bugatti Veyron" or "NOT iPad mini [bluetooth]".
Things are starting to pop into my head now, but keep them coming!
"Warning: Trojan Detected..." for bluetooth
Mine is name "Hwa Rang"
