Possible Way to Install Google Wallet

Engadget recently posted about a Chrome extension called APK Downloader. It allows you to download the APK for any app on the market, including those that may be blocked by your carrier. My first thought was to try Google Wallet for my T-Mo Nexus S. I was able to get it installed and add the prepaid card. I haven't had a chance to try a purchase yet, though. Let me know if it works for you.
I can't post links yet but just search APK Downloader on Engadget for info on where to download it from
After I got APK Downloader installed in Chrome, I googled "Google Wallet site: play.google.com" and then used the extension to download the APK to my Dropbox so I could quickly access it from my phone.
If anyone has a chance to do this and make a purchase, let me know. I'll give it a shot tomorrow

Just used wallet successfully
I can confirm that the above method worked for me. I was able to install the app, add the prepaid card, and successfully buy something with it.
I have not tested this on a non-rooted phone, although I imagine it could work since you do not need to be rooted to install an APK outside of the Play Store.
One other note for rooted users, there is a persistent banner on the app that says "Unsupported Device. Learn more." This means exactly what it says. It is unsupported so the Google Wallet devs aren't obligated to help you if you are rooted and have problems with the app. This does not mean that the app will not work.

One more update: it looks like after installing the app in this way, it shows up in the "my apps" section of the Play Store, allowing you to update it (providing it's an update that doesn't break it for root users).

It's due to the regional and carrier settings. In the US, I believe its only available for the Sprint Nexus S 4G, and not available for anyone else. This method allows everyone else to update and install google wallet.

Hey,
Thanks for this link - I managed to get the app installed (i9020 bought unbranded, on T-Mobile UK, totally stock unrooted 4.0.4).
However, when I start the app up, I still get the "this app is not supported in your country / on your network" error.
I guess it's because I'm in the UK? Any way to get around this?
Thanks,
Suman

As a Canadian I have yet to find a way to do this short of driving 30mins to the border, hopping on a US network and trying then. Might need to switch sims as well.

Hmm, ok... so does the device permanently have to be on a "supported" network for the Wallet application to load up, or does it just need to get activated first?
I have an old AT&T GoPhone SIM somewhere (in my crypts!) which I could possibly use in the phone, but I don't know if roaming would work...
Will have to give it a go and see what happens!

Try market enabler and spoofing to T-Mobile US, you need root though
Works for me

Hey,
That's cool - do you use it pay for stuff randomly then? Are you using the Google card or a Citi card? Tell me everything!
My device is totally stock and unrooted and currently locked bootloader - do you have a step by step guide for how to get Market Enabler working?
Cheers,
Su

I am the only person outside of the US that Google Wallet shows up in my Play Store?!
I'm in the UK and my Nexus is a completely stock i9020T running 4.0.4. The app doesn't open properly because "my country is not supported" but I can still download from the stock Play Store app :S

anyway to root without wiping on 4.0.4 ics stock?

Have you used your phone in the USA or anything like that?
P.S. I was born in Aberdeen

Nope. I've never even been out of Europe :S.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get wallet working outside the US once it's installed?

[Q] Social feeds integration

I have been using HTC alot and samsung too, both fones could easily integrate social info in contacts and other sections of fone... since "Z" is premium class product i fail to understand why this is so poor... i am having lot of issues and have to link contacts manually.... is someone else facing same issue or is it me...and also the dedicated app to collate the info from feeds in one. "Social life" when i click on it..it goes to market and says your device is not compatible with this application?
And here it is shown working
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z-review-887p10.php

My socialife worked fine up until yesterday but now the feed doesn't update. I can still post from it though.

Google Wallet not working

Dammit, my wallet is not working! Any info on this?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

There's no support on Google's side for our Ones. Unless you're rooted and edit your build prop there's no way it'll work.

what version are you using? wallet is fully functional for me without any mods.
if it helps, here's the version i'm using:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5qdh0q5bbavjbc8/Wallet_1.6-R96-v16.apk

Mine wasn't working but I updated my PRL and Profile then rebooted a couple of times yesterday. It still didn't work until tried again today and it went through the whole setup and seems to work just fine. I am not rooted and full stock on Sprint.

I'm stock and now my wallet work without any modifications or tweaked app.

Nice! I got it working with thst version! Thanks

I wish that I was one of the lucky ones that could get it working on stock

I just installed and set it up. I'll try this out later tonight and post if it worked. Looks good so far!

I think Google added our devices to their supported list, as I am now able to run Google Wallet also. The only thing is that Google hasn't yet enabled us to download it from the market.

wierd indeed. i dont see sprint htc one in this list
is the dropbox file safe? where did it come from? just dont want to download something that'll sell/use my financial info.

I can confirm that Google wallet does work, just used it twice at the mall because I forgot my wallet at home, I'm glad it worked I would off dumb if it didn't lol
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

I downloaded Google wallet from the dropbox link provided and everything sets up nicely but app states I have an unsupported phone due to root. Will this affect anything or is it bypassed? Won't be able to try and use the app until I get back into town. Thanks.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

Unsupported means they won't offer any technical help if you have issues. It will function just fine tho so go ahead and use it.

It's working for me with the APK from this thread. Just got the phone yesterday and I haven't rooted yet. Installing the APK was no problem and I was prompted to setup my wallet. Not sure I am going to stick with the ONE since I am left handed and the home button isn't so easy for me to reach.

Playstore not working

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?

is it rooted?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.

Are you from Belgium?

anyone can offer some help? i had to repair the firmware & install everything all over again to get it to work. Now another xperia Z is having the same issue.

Have you installed any hacking mods installed that are connected to in-app purchases? If so, please remove them!

In any case, you used lucky patcher. odex files created in data/app folder.

If it's a legit copy from playstore contact the developer, he is support friendly. I never had any issue running PA on any devices.
If you use lucky patcher, then it's another story...

Thanks a lot, works fine

I thought to buy this app from playstore. I tried many times but failed every time.
1- I tried my debit card, it said ur card has been declined.
2-i tried my friend's debit card... It was also declined.
3- my another friend had a credit card, I asked him to try by giving my user ID and pass word of my new Google ID, made for this only but it said ur transaction was not successful, and your amount will be refunded. Why I'm not able to buy this app.
