Does the tmobile version of the G2 have NFC? I cannot seem to get it to read any tag or connect to any NFC devices. The NFC is turned on in the settings. Has anyone used NFC successfully on the tmobile version?
Yes I have.
I have used it to send/receive pictures (G2/S4). I have also used it a few times at a vending machine getting a coke for 30 coke reward points through ISIS.
Works fine here bud.

I'm not using a TMobile G2, but iirc there are different NFC standards and therefore different NFC tags - make sure you are using the correct tags!
With my D802 I have no problem at all to use NFC - created the tags with Trigger > works great!

Let me note: I am not a dev nor programmer.
With the similiarities of the P6800 and the Verizon 7.7, I threw together a rom w/ stock SCH-I815 samsung/verizon kernel using the P6800 frameworks and apps into the Verizon 7.7 and removed most bloat. The LTE/Verizon antennas aren't recognized by the device at all but everything else was working.
Now, you can't swap the phone.apk's around without the framework's else you'll experience FCs. So obviously I'll need to use the base stock apps and frameworks and go through the 2 framework files hunting about.
Has anyone else with the Verizon 7.7 taken a look into this?
I'm curious if you've made any progress on this?
Not yet, probably be a week before I even look through the files again. But I believe it's fully possible to get phone use

i think you will need to find samsung modem for verzon networks, does verizon have a galaxy note or sgs2?
although your modem firmware probably has voice disabled, may have to find modem manufacturer and try to flash custom firmware.
good luck, wish you the best.
I'm happy enough using GrooveIP for google voice calling. What I'd really like is if we could activate the phone profile in bluetooth (or will that just come with enabling the proper phone part in the 7.7?).
As of now i can use GrooveIP and bluetooth to listen and speak, but it won't let the bluetooth device answer/hang up/transfer address book/show caller ID (on the Verizon LTE 7.7)
Doesn't verizon require some sort of signed telephony to work properly on their network

I got no idea but with the other packs it didn't detect the radio at all. This is keeping the vzw radio partition stock. I like the ideas and really wish the note was verizon as that'd help figure things out.

It does for LTE but cdma service doesn't use sim

Seeing as your data account won't have any provisioning for voice usage, even if you DID get a working modem and a modified framework to allow for phone functionality on the device, I doubt that you'd actually be able to made or receive a phone call due to Verizon's limitations at the account and provisioning level anyway.
Point is, it's a CDMA device, and thus your service is attached to the device itself, not the SIM card (except for LTE data). Basically, you can't just provision service to the SIM card alone, and then simply swap it into a different device. So if you got the modem and the framework working, and you called in to Verizon customer service and asked to provision your line for voice, they'll just be like "Umm, no... We never INTENDED for you to use that device as a phone, so no... You want a phone? Buy a phone. You want a tablet? Buy a tablet. You want to do both in one device? We won't allow that because that loses us money that we would be getting by having you either subscribe to two lines, or charge you extra to tether..."
There is a much simpler solution however.
Ditch ANY CDMA carrier in favour of a GSM carrier instead, preferably one that uses the same compatible frequencies adopted by the rest of the world, like AT&T (and MVNO's based off of AT&T's network), and buy the P6800.
The moral of this story is this: if you want the latest devices, with the best features, you're NOT going to find them in the north American market, EVER, at all, period; you're just going to find watered-down, gimped, bloated, and locked-down versions of the international models. You HAVE to import. If you're going to import, you HAVE to use a GSM service provider... That's just the way it is. It sucks, I know, but it is what it is.
I would have to agree, the GSM version would be best. It would be near impossible to make this happen. Of course if I was stick with one, I would try everything I could as well. I'd probably fail miserably and go for something like GrooveIP.

I move my SIM between devices all the time and have never needed to call VZ to provision the new device. Voice and data just work.

I can CONFIRM the following:
I have a VZ tab 7.7 with 5GB data plan and I have a VZ Razr with voice/unlimited data plan.
Both are LTE devices and hence use (micro) SIM cards. In "My Verizon" even the tab has a phone number assigned to it's "line". A call to that number just rings but obviously nothing on the tab.
BUT...
Put the tab sim in the phone and YES it will ring if you call that number! Even TXT in/out works! I assume they will just charge me per txt and per min phone use BUT IT WORKS in a PHONE.
And the kicker is, the unlimited PHONE SIM also works in the TAB! I immediately get LTE data and can surf with the tab. Of course at that point calls and texts to that phone number are "ignored" by the tab's neutered modem.
Lesson learned:
IF there was a way to flash a modem, say for example from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to the VZ 7.7 TAB, we would have a full supersized phone in our hand. Only downside, no earpiece. So only speakerphone or BT calls I guess.
Anyway, after a little more research I also found this very interesting article:
http://www.phonenews.com/verizon-affirms-unlimited-smartphone-sim-card-usage-in-hotspots-tablets-lte-ipad-20053/
Hope this helps bring a little light into the messy CDMA/LTE darkness
I have swapped my Galaxy Nexus SIM in my VZW LTE 7.7 numerous times. It works. I'd love to have voice on the VZW LTE 7.7, then I could possibly do it all on my tab. I'm no developer tho ;p
I normally find the answers to my questions by searching the web but this time I haven't found anything. So here it goes: I bought a Nexus 4 from Google play that I use with my own carrier in Canada. Everything works fine when I'm on my own network. I have a pre-paid T-mobile card that I use when I travel to the States where I am now. However, when I put in the Tmbile card I can place calls but I get no sound in the ear spearker nor does the other party hear me. This is true for speakerphone as well as bluetooth headset. The ONLY way it works is if I plug in a wired headset. Data and texting always work.
Here is what I have tried so far:
- my prepaid Tmo card - results as above
- another post paid Tmo card - same as above
- post paid AT&T card - works fine
- my Canadian card roaming on AT&T - works fine
- my Canadian card roaming on Tmobile - works fine
- my prepaid Tmo card in an HSPA Galaxy Nexus - works fine
I've ruled out the bad connection on the headset jack because this ONLY happens when I have an Tmobile card in.
My Nexus 4 is on 4.2.2, rooted, with a 4.2.1 radio flashed in order to keep LTE compatibility in Canada. The radio version is high on my list of suspicions. I also think that an app might be the cause, I have installed Google Voice, Magicjack and Skype (that have something to do with the phone).
If you have any ideas I'd appreciate the help. I'm staying here a few more days and I'd hate to have to use a headset the whole time. Thanks!

Just like I expected. You need the updated .48 radio baseband in order to make or hear calls.
Problem solved. I just upgraded to .48 and I can hear the calls. I will have to downgrade when I get back to Canada (on the plane of course
So does T-mobile check whether the radio matches the Android build? It's the only carrier I had this issue with.

Thank you so much for having this issue!
I have the exact same problem on tmobile right now and at least know what to do when I get home tonight.
Keep in mind you lose LTE on the new radio. I think the CM roms aren't affected by this if you downgrade radio.
im on CM11 bootloader unlocked, gsm unlocked razr M on T-mobile with the latest 3/13/14 update of the wallet app.
CM 11 kitkat 4.4.2 has HCE and tap and pay NFC should be working without a problem, yet I have never gotten it to work and have tried it at multiple locations.
Is there something im missing?
EDIT: PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
okay after EXTENSIVE research, i have finally found our problem. so basically our phones have the capability for TnP to work. The only issue is drivers and support.
As of now TnP only works with Broadcom NFC chipsets and nothing else, so even if your phone has NFC, TnP will not work unless it is a Broadcom controller chipset. Our razr phones have NXP NFC chipsets which as of right now are not supported by the google wallet app (google's fault) so Host Card Emulation (HCE) support in kitkat is missing from AOSP roms
this has absolutely nothing to do with the secure element anymore at all in 4.4.2. Google went the HCE specifically so the likes of verizon couldn't block the TnP function.
TL;DR
We will get it, it is only a matter of time. either direct from wallet app support for our NXP chipset or from our wonderful dev community. Currently the code for NXP's NFC chips is empty for the host card emulation to work.
some active work being done if you can help the movement (sorry I can't post links yet)

Yeah, there's something missing on the M and HD that won't allow TnP to work. I can't remember what exactly it is, but there was a pretty good discussion about it in the HD forum.
What you're thinking of is a "secure element". This was a thing built into older phones to enable stuff like NFC payments. Our phone does not have one built in to it.
Tmobile phones (and probably the others) that support ISIS don't use one built into the phone, but have a secure element built into the sim card (you need a new sim, along with methods of accessing it which CM probably doesn't have).
Kit Kat has a software-only version of the "secure element" and should not require anything built into the phone or the sim card. In theory you just have to convince google wallet to use the software one. That said, there's still probably some work to do to convince google wallet to do its thing. I think it still only enables tap to pay for some phones. What OP is asking for should be possible.

Current state: VZW LG V20 VS995, 7.0, unrooted
So, I've used Samsung smartphones for years and one of my must-haves is an IR blaster. I moved from a Note 4 to the LG V20, and all is good, except for one thing.
I've used Beep n Go for digital storage of loyalty and membership cards. As you may know, that app uses a beaming service where information from the bar code is beamed to the handheld or bed scanner to transmit the information.
For POS scanners where they're using imaging technology, Stocard works fine. But my gym apparently is using the older laser scanner (red line moving across the bar code), so none of the apps will work.
I was able to get Beep n Go onto the V20, but the Mobeam beaming service app that beams the card info can't be installed. Since the V20 has the hardware (IR blaster and proximity sensor), I thought that this would work, but apparently not. I tried sideloading the apk for Mobeam, but the install fails because there's already a beaming service installed.
I'd rather not root (I use the V20 to access work email, and non-rooted devices are authenticated), but I guess I could root, do my business, then unroot if that's possible.
Has anyone else ever run into this?
Thanks!!

Doesnt magisk hide the root making the authentication pass as true? I mean, i rooted my lg v20 h918 and im currently using a custom rom with magisk and im able to use android pay (which requires authentication) thanks to magisk.
Hello memebers,
I recently bought a Nokia 6 from Amazon (TA-1025) and wondering if Android Pay work? I see there is NFC but it is not clear if Android Pay works? Tried it in one of the mega stores and didnt seem to register. Is there a setting that needs to be enabled?

Works fine for me at the gas station by my house. All I did was enable NFC. Which store were you trying it at?
I tried it in the local whole foods. I was tapping on the top portion of the phone. May be I should try it once more. I believe the NFC is enabled, how to check it?
It is working - looks like the NFC setting was switched off. Thank you for the help.

Glad it worked!
Just to add it appears that it switches off even if the switch shows it's on, as have had several experiences of this when trying to pay. I'm used to apple pay but if I am right the phone needs to be unlocked for it to work???
