Google Wallet updated to allow any kind of card.

but we still are just able to 'tap' at vendors that has the tap pay.That's funny....I had GW installed (I thought doing the work-around to get it from the Play Store). It worked fine, but when I saw this, it wasn't in the list of My Apps on my phone, so I couldn't update it. Couldn't even see it when I searched the Play Store. When I used your link though, it came up (of course), saying it was installed on my Nexus. So I clicked install, selected my Nexus as the device (even though it said it was already installed), and it downloaded to my phone and installed. Don't know why I couldn't see it in my list of apps though. Oh well, all is good now!
Now if there were only more retailers that accepted it. Like maybe EVERY gas station.

Just added the Visa dogggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder since now all card info is stored on a secure online server instead of the secure element on the phone, if this will eliminate the threat of the secure element error that has notoriously borked Wallet in the past for so many people?
Also, I wonder if people who got this error, will their Wallet app now work as well since the secure element is out of the picture?

Well it can only be so secure, which is why I got a specific card for online use only and which is why I encourage others to do the same. Had my info compromised twice before I did this and ever since I started the "online only" haven't had a problem since.
I'm just trying to decide what I would need Google Wallet for lol...
I only use it for smaller amount. like 3 or 5 bucks are 7-11, mcd etc.
I was referring to the error that was breaking the nfc functionality of the google wallet app itself, not the security of the app.

I added my CC successfully. Although, I had to do it when I had >15% battery. I was blocked by a low battery error from wallet when I was at 13% lol. But I now have my Visa loaded and am ready to rock.

Thanks. I just uninstall and reboot and reinstalled and it worked. :biggrin: it somehow grab 5 of my credit card automatically and just wanted me to verify them and add the address. anyone else?
btw..if my google prepaid card is enable and my cc is enable which one would it use? seems weird that both can be enable.

Yep. Those are all cards that you've tied to google checkout one way or another. It will also use the one that has the Blue NFC icon lit up. Swiping to your other card and pressing it, makes that card your default.
Yep, the interface is super slick. You could virtually have 100's of credit cards locked up tight and secure in your phone. I used Wallet when I first got the phone back in December, but when I started crack-flashing the secure element error scared the hell out of me so I stopped using it altogether as a precautionary step. Now that they've added support for all cards and they've removed the secure element from the equation there's no reason not to use this now. I installed it yesterday, launched it, and all my cards were waiting for me - they each just needed some verification. Also, my google card, which I forgot about, was waiting for me with a nice $30 surprise
