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 :)

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.

You couldn't see it in the Play Store, because they know you are running the Verizon GNex. Verizon probably told them not to show it for Verizon GNex users. Which violates the agreement signed with the FCC when Verizon bought the C Block portion of the spectrum.

Google Wallet is secured with a four digit pin so I think you're safe if you lose it :)

True.. about that, does anyone know the limit of incorrect pins until the phone locks wallet down? Im assuming there is such a feature built in.

with nfc .... what happens if its enabled and u lose the phone or it gets stolen ?

is there a way to terminate or kill the wallet service via ur google account ?

how about nfc hijacking ? say ur in nyc and going in/out of establishments that are crowded. somebody sitting in a cafe that accepts nfc payments may have the equipment to eavesdrop ... proxmark nfc.

First, take off your tinfoil hat. Second, read the FAQ a couple posts above - it will answer all your questions.

I used to wear a tinfoil hat...but I could still hear the aliens anyway, so I used it to make a baked potato.
