I can't get Samsung pay to work, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, suggested by my bank and made sure my card is properly registered. When I try to use it the card reader reads it and asks the normal questions like do you want cash back and is this amount correct then when I try to complete it just has an error message and I end up using my real card
Try to use your card as credit not debit (might need to press OK, cancel or change type on the POS terminal)
Where are you trying to use it?

+1. Pretty sure I saw something on Samsung's FAQ about just that.

If my phone were to be confiscated, is it possible to wipe it so that if they were to hook it up to a monitoring system to see any and all activity (such as if it were turned on and when, if calls were placed, messages sent, games played, etc) they wouldn't be able to check?

Yes I believe there are programs that allow you to remotely wipe the phone via a text message

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know you could do that. I really just want to know if I wipe data/cache via clockwork, will that erase any info leading to discovery of the use of my phone.
Basically, I work a job regulated by the federal government and they are extremely stringent on cell phone use (zero tolerance, even during lunch) but most everybody uses them. If something stupid happens, even if it's not my fault, they will confiscate and check my usage. If used, heavy fines are in order. If someone I'm working with makes a boo boo at work, can I wipe before the feds get their hands on it to rid my phone of its usage?

I dled an app called lookout security (I think)... I saw it on a droid x commercial so I thought it would be worth a try... you have to set up some stuff from the computer but I remember seeing an option they called 'nuke' where it deleted data and other things when you got on a computer and selected that option... don't know if that is exactly what you're looking for... hope I don't look like a complete moron

That is exactly what you need to do
Just know that information stored on a memory card will leave a trail behind much like a harddrive. To completely make it non-retrievable you would need to "scrub" the memory card. There are software available but it would mean you would have to remove the card and run it through the "scrub" via a computer. All that being said, they would really have to work to restore the erased information and I don't know what lengths your employer is willing to go to to catch you.
Great responses, folks! Thanks!

I just bought a new unlocked HTC MyTouch 3G from Newegg this past President's Day weekend,
"contract free". The specs list it as having Android OS v1.5:
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502055&cm_re=mytouch_3g-_-75-502-055-_-Product
I intended to just use my existing T-Mobile prepaid account and just enjoy the phone using wi-fi. The problem is, I cannot log into Google using the phone b/c I don't even see wi-fi as an option. One of the big reasons I bought this phone was to use wi-fi to get my apps. I don't need 3G service.
So what can I do?
HTC MyTouch 3G unlocked (white) w/ 3.5mm jack
This phone doesn't offer the option of enabling wifi to login to your Google account during the startup. It also won't let you get into the ROM without logging in. You should be able to purchase a one-day data plan with your prepaid SIM for $2 from the activation menu to get logged in. Everything else after that you will be able to use wifi for. If, for whatever reason, you need to do a factory reset in the future, you'll have to do the same thing again.
EDIT: Secondly, I highly suggest reading through this post to learn a little bit about your phone.
there are ways around the Google sign in. just search Google I did it on my friends Droid. I think you tap the 4 corners of the screen in a certain order

That's still talking about the four corners trick which doesn't work on stock ROMs, and that's also talking about a custom ROM which a totally different ball game. If he was to root, he could simply bypass the login screen by hitting home and enable wifi, but where he's sitting at right now he'd have to use the goldcard method (which means having to borrow a friends phone running Android to make the goldcard) which is a lot more time consuming then just dropping two dollars on a day pass.
Yes, where there's a will there's a way, but in this case the way is the one I provided. Trust me, I've been heavily involved with this device for a while now (well in electronics time).

alright, I surrender to your superior advice. I agree I know nothing about the mt3g or GSM android phones.
all I know is that the 4 corners trick worked on my friends OEM Droid and I suggested that it may also work on the mt3g.

Funny thing is, once I was able to borrow a friend's SIM that has a data plan associated to it, and login to Google on the phone, the wi-fi was then available.
I hope I put this in the right thread. I flashed a different kernal, clicked set on boot with setcpu and it instantly locked up my phone. Now I've lost all my photos and videos and my sd card is blank. Any ideas if any on how to retrieve them. Thank you in advance

There's a software online called "minitool power data recovry". It has a price ($40-$145, they have a functional demo), but its performed miracles for me in terms of data recovery.
But my first recomendation, anytime you experience data loss, STOP everything your doing with the drive (or sdcard), every second you try to access it, you might be loosing more and more data.

After you figure out this mess get Titanium Media Sync so you don't have these problems anymore. I gather you don't have a cwm backup?

Also never pick SetCPU for set changes on boot until you thoroughly test your settings. This way it will restore to stock settings if you lock up and have to reboot. The same goes to Voltage Control or any overclocking/undervolting app. Every phone is different and requires custom settings and extensive testing.

Had the same issue 2 days ago... Was using google books, got up and heated up some food, came back and I had a notification saying "sd card blank." removed and put it back in... (that's wut she said)... Same thing... Completely stock from asurion with 16 gb sd card. Haven't had access to a pc I can play with for a couple of weeks otherwise I woulda tried the previous post... Anyone else get this?

Its this something wrong with my phone that damaged the sd card or
Did I just get a bad card... If its the latter will TEP replace it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Edit: went to Sprint store and told them about my problem. they didn't ask any questions just replaced the sd card... Unfortunately they said they were out of 16 gb cards so I got an 8, however they gave me the 16 gb bad card back and a business card with the store managers signature on it and said come back in a week with the SD card and they will replace it... Seems like I'll get to keep the 8 gigger (as he put it) too...
I saw this problem earlier in the week, and my friend's epic wiped all pics/videos- blanked it, but somehow kept the apps.. the data was still there- I used diskdigger (pc app from diskdigger.org, which you have to pay for- i think it's $15 now) and an usb sd card reader. I did a surface scan for traces of files (dig deeper), where you have to tell it what to look for (eg: look for .jpgs only), and it pulled up a ton of files- some of them browser cache files, some were the missing pics, etc. I guess you could use any file recovery program, but the thing to remember: if you think you lost everything, don't use the sd card! Writing anything to it might write over the files you are trying to recover. A new 16gb card off amazon is around $30. I'd love to know why the epic erases everything.
I have had a kernel do this to me twice in the past. Turned out to be some error in script. It has long since been fixed. It was like my SD card got formatted. Everything was gone. Hope that's not the case for you. Out of curiousity, which kernel did you flash?

Yes same thing for me got replacement with card from Asurion and I am convinced now their cards are not probably 16gb and faulty. I can't access the card at all on my pc even with some advanced tools.

HI i have install google wallet yesterday and its working fine.
1. Download the apk file and just install normal.
2. before launching the app go to google wallet settings and change your home address to a random US Address (You don't need to change everything just the city and the Zipcode and select US as the country .
3. launch the app after the setting it works fine.
4. then you can setup tap& pay .
5. go back to google setting and change your original address.
Download Link
http://www.filedropper.com/comgoogleandroidappswalletnfc_1
it works fine .
Thank you very much.
Have you actually successfully paid for anything yet?
would love to see if this is actually possible.
anybody know WHY google wallet isn't officially available (tap and pay form, not online) outside of the US??
There's no point. All of your payments will simply be declined.
are there any tap and pay apps that work in the uk??

The only one I know of is orange/Barclaycard which only works on s3 & s4.
Visa have said they're releasing one this month. But they said that a while ago and new recent news about it.

Not working on my nexus 5. After download it says cannot open file.
I had this installed and running in Canada for a while now. IO used it the other day for the first time at McDonalds and the payment was declined. The error I got was about it not supporting international transactions.
After I flashed a stock rom it appeared on my aussie n5. Noticed it while I was going through my apps on titanium backup and it was frozen. Just unfrozen it and it opens and all but since I'm outside us, it's useless.

That was my first thought, so I did order a new one...but now trying to get them back.
My computer doesn't even see the card on my phone. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Try testdisk, it's worked for me plenty of times on failing SD cards & hard drives:

Remove the card from the phone, put into an adapter & plug into your computer, then run testdisk & follow the prompts.
