Does Google Wallet work on a rooted N7?

I believe so but I'm in the UK so I don't know 100%.

For me it doesn't, it says unsupported device on the top at the credit card screen

You can use something like ota rootkeeper which will allow you to use it.

It will say this if you are rooted. Yes.
But it does NOT affect functionality.
Wallet will work just fine.
That rooted message is just a Google disclaimer.

I'm rooted and running CM10 and I used it today no problem.
It says its an unsupported device because you are rooted and they won't be held accountable if some app empties your wallet. It still works great though. Google paid for my lunch yet again!

Yes..
do you have a credit card with the little 'wifi' symbol on it (not sure what it's called).. this means your actual credit card has a NFC chip in it.
i have a Chase card, which has this.
every time i lay my Galaxy Nexus on top of my wallet, the NFC Reader app (market) i have installed, picks it up right away.

Works on mine. Took a long time to finish setting up.

Pasting my own post from another forum:
-----------------------
I have rooted and unlocked my Nexus 7, and yes, when setting google wallet after all that, I did get my $10 prepaid credit, and then I updated to the latest Google wallet version that allows you to register any type of credit card (visa, amex, etc). Which I did.
I went to the store just with the intention to pay with my tabblet, and it worked!!! And yes, I also got the "unsupported warning" for being rooted, but that does not stop the app from working perfectly. The selected card for that transaction was the credit card I registered, and I didn't have an internet connection for the transaction to be completed succesfully (very cool).
I haven't done a transaction with the prepaid $10 credit yet, but it should be no problem since I think it's even less complex than what I did above.

quick question do you have the wallet app open when you are checking out cause the when i tried it didn't work but it worked perfectly fine at MD and a vending machine so i dont know if its the store card reader or what

Well, can anyone explain why, on my Nexus 7 and HTC EVO LTE, both our which are rooted, Wallet used to at least open, but after this update I just get an error: sorry, wallet does not yet run on this device and on your mobile network"?
Two different devices, two different manufacturers, same error.

Los Angeles. It ran before this update, so it's hard to imagine my location has anything to do with it.
I did find a few posts on other sites, like Android forums and AT&T's, for the same issue. Since nobody has complete info, we're all coming to different conclusions.
On AT&T's forum, they think it won't run because Wallet only has an agreement with Sprint. Obviously, my nexus 7 dispels that theory.
People on Verizon are speculating the same thing.
I've tried uninstalling both the update, and the entire app.
I've tried temporarily turning off root.
Still no workie.

Google music

Hi , I was messing about with the Google music app tonight and it seems to be letting me upload music and listen to it on my nexus 7.
I stay in the UK and I know it was meant to released soon but thought I would let you guys know it seems available now.
Apologies if this is old news.

Where did you download the app from, the play store? I am using it with an account set up via a proxy. Wondering if I'll have to do anything once its official in the UK.

Ah yes, thats what I did also and use it on my phone without any problem, works really well and looking forward to having it on the Nexus also.

So the setup still needs to be done via VPN?
But then you can use it as and when you please?
PS - If I signup, can I download Google Music onto another device (HOX) and link both devices? To share music etc
Thanks for info !

@Savalangh - wondering exactly the same thing, dont think I've even uploaded a 1000 songs yet, but would be a major pain having to sit and re-upload from scratch if we had to. Hopefully we just can continue using as is. :fingers-crossed:

I set up Google Music using a Proxy and have been using it for months.
It recently got released OFFICIALLY in the UK and haven't had any problems i.e. I haven't had to re-upload my music or anything else. I believe it's tied to your google account so regardless of where you're using it, it shouldn't make a difference once you're signed up!

We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.

Sorry for it not being more helpful, I went on play.Google.com , logged in on my laptop , went to /music and downloaded music manager , then it allowed me to start uploading my music which then appeared on my nexus 7 and allowed me no stream it. No proxy or vpn.

Google Music 6 months trial

Well my question was finally answered today. Turns out you have to start your 6 month trial for Google Music by October 15th. I'm wondering if it's the same for everyone?
Sent from my XT1080m using xda-developers app.

Both my fiancee and I got this email as well. I already have All Access activated on my account and we were going to wait until it was up before activating my fiancee's 6 months, looks like that plan is out the window.

I was hoping to wait to activate it until spring for outside exercising. Guess that's not gonna happen.

The offer comes up upon launching Play Music on your phone. Since you already have it, I've read that you can redeem the 6 months by cancelling your current subscription and then launching Play Music on your phone (you may or may not need to clear the app data).

Didn't work
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hmm...not sure then. From what I've read it should be as simple as canceling the current subscription, clearing the Play Music app data, and then launching Play Music. I didn't have a previous All Access subscription so I can't confirm it myself, but others have said they were successful with that method. Perhaps Google caught wind and have prevented previous subscribers from being eligible.

After speaking with Google, I was told that i would have to cancel my 7.99 subscription and start a new 9.99 subscription to take advantage of the offer. Verizon would not help even though there have been reports of them giving customers a refund for the offer balance.

My crazy day getting a nexus 5!

OK I know that ALL the nexus 5 sold at T-Mobile, Sprint, best buy, etc are the SAME as Google play store.
I was in Houston to visit family yesterday, and sold my moto g, and moto x(att model) to my family friend and then figured "ya I could order the nexus on Google but since selling the moto's I would just be paying the tax for the 5!"
So I go to best buy, not in stock, then go to T-Mobile store....NEVER again!(only because their like 390 full price!)
First the guy said he couldn't sell me it cause it won't work on anything other than T-Mobile....... So I told him that I know it will work or I wouldn't be asking you to buy it.... Then the store demo I put my Sim in it and BAM! Getting LTE on straight talk att Sim! Then I show him and then he said the demo model works cause it one straight from the Google play store! LMAO WHAT!
So I leave go down the street to another T-Mobile store same story!
Then I finally went to a sprint store...
The guy was basically acting like I was stupid and he bet me it wouldn't work....so he sell me the phone (399) I put my Sim in the phone and by this time he called everybody else in the store to see if it was going to work! The of course it works, and he was like we'll it probably because it not activated on our network. Then he went on saying I couldn't sell that to anybody on sprint cause the phone will be blacklisted.......OR I said "it could be idk IT'S THE SAME PHONE THAT GOOGLE SELLS ON THE PLAY STORE!" and walk out
So I guess next time people just order from the play store unless your only going to pay tax for a brand new phone lol!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

What? Out of all service companies, I can't believe T-Mobile would say that! That's crazy.
They probably don't want to sell their N5' s cause they know they're sold out on Google store and they want customers who buy the N5 to stay in their company. That's why whenever I go to my company (T-Mobile) I end up arguing with them, they seem to not have a lot of knowledge when it comes to Google phones.

Too many CSR are just dumb. But this is quite the funny story. Should've took that guy on the bet at the sprint store, I would've walked out with a free N5 I'll tell you what. And how slow was the store business wise for all them to huddle round you? They seriously had nothing else better to do?

Well the sprint store wasn't really busy at all. Had one customer leaving as I was walking in. But the T-Mobile store was actually quite busy which I was surprised bout. Tmobile works great in Houston and Dallas. But where I live their not even a store that's how bad it is!

actually you can activate a n5 bought through tmo on sprint. all you need to do is have sprint manually enter the info they need and device id.

Wow. Sorry to hear about that. I got extremely lucky buying mine at Best Buy. They sold me their last one, and price matched the Play Store for me. No questions asked at all. I'm pretty sure Best Buys aren't selling the N5 anymore though. The demo they had on the Google endcap has been removed and replaced with a N7. I've been in 5 different stores, and all of them have been removed.

just because their employees arent to bright, it doesnt change the fact that its more than possible to have done. its easy to do, and many sprint employees have figured out how to do it right. if the employees working where you go cant do it, go to another sprint.

No thanks. Sprint's LTE network is an absolute mess in my area, good signals usually but the 1,500+ms pings and 0.05 megabit downloads are painful. I do the AIO thing.

At least T-mobile let you purchase it. When it first came to Sprint, they would only sell it on contract. (Corporate store around me)

It is also possible that the rep knows when they are getting shipment. Not all of the T-Mobile stores are getting stock on the 12th. Some may get it in the evening. Some may get it day(s) later. Even with some of the recent launches, like the Note 4 some stores didn't have stock in the morning they got their shipment that evening.

coming from someone who works in merchandising... I would be amazed if corporate even knew what corporate was doing. Lol

That was my first thought. He just sounded confident it was LAUNCHING the 18th. It's not the biggest T-Mobile store. But its a newer one. I'm still shooting for Wednesday. My phone case will be here tomorrow. Google may be telling them when they go on sale. So they may have no idea. But chances are. They will try to sell me a Samsung when I walk in.

There is a user around here that posted a spreadsheet stating which stores will be getting it in or not, here . How true the data will be come Wednesday, don't know. But it seems legit enough.

I read a few articles this weekend that said T-mobile and other carriers will have extremely limited supply. So it will be like the play store and sell out in minutes I bet. So unless your in front of your computer hitting refresh the whole day I doubt you will get one. Its just like the Nexus 4 and 5 launch. It was several months after release that anyone could actually get one in a normal way.

Another local store said they might be getting them in this Wednesday. He will know tomorrow. That store was not on the list linked above. So we will see.
