Does the HTC One support Google Wallet?

I am looking into buying HTC one when it comes out here in the US. But, i was wondering if Google Wallet is part of the HTC one and if the HTC one supports it.. Can anyone who tried the phone share any info?
Is Google Wallet installed or you have to install it from Google Play?
Did you try to buy something with it?
any info will be great...
thx

I buy via google wallet all the time.

So do many people but that does not answer any of my questions !!!

It would work depending on if Google has released it to work in your region.

Seriously now, did you try it or are you just guessing? and for now, please focus on US region..

It has NFC, it will most definitely have all the hardware to support Google Wallet. The problem is whether or not your carrier/region is willing to play ball, and/or whether or not XDA can hack Google Wallet into working with the ROM of choice.

Whether or not your carrier is willing to play ball. AT&T has never supported Google Wallet.

I have a Dev Edition. Google wallet is "not compatible with your device". I have not tried side-loading the APK yet. I may return the device due to many small nagging issues like this.

64gb dev version here. I tried wallet with modaco's toolbox to disable checks and it still doesnt work. However, wallet is not a big deal to me, at all. Cool to show off, nothing more, in my opinion.

just noticed the app is no longer available on the play store. i checked last to week to test, but uninstalled as the phone was listed as incompatible. anyone else not able to find the app? i assume google is not accepting the info on the build.prop as a compatible model?

It is a big deal to me... sort of. I will probably get a GoogleWallet swipe-card when they are available though, as most stores don't have NFC readers anyway here.
I hope the HTC One is eventually added to the list (does anyone know if it has the "secure element"):
http://support.google.com/wallet/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1347934
Code:
Eligible devices for use with Google Wallet
Google Wallet with tap and pay requires an NFC enabled Android device with a Secure Element chip running the most recent Android operating system. Google Wallet is available on the following devices on select carrier networks:
Phones
Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSPA+
Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
Samsung Galaxy SIII on Sprint, MetroPCS, and US Cellular
Samsung Galaxy Axiom on US Cellular
LG Viper™ 4G LTE on Sprint
LG Optimus Elite™ on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
LG Nexus 4 GSM/HSPA+ (available for purchase on Google Play)
HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint
Tablets
Asus Nexus 7 (available for purchase on Google Play)
Samsung Nexus 10 (available for purchase on Google Play)
International Devices
At this time, Google Wallet does not support devices purchased internationally. The eligible device list above only applies to devices purchased from the listed carriers next to them. For example, an unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII purchased internationally will not work with Google Wallet.

Did you get "Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)" as your error? I tried with the tool box and that's what I got on T-Mobile version.

I used this mod to get Wallet on my AT&T Galaxy S3 and I loved it. Hopefully someone can release an installer for the M7 too!

FYI, i was able to activate wallet today with no mods to the build.prop or etc. as i'm rooted, it does show the message "unsupported device" on the top, however it appears to be functional and synced to my wallet account. i'll try to test it soon to find out if it fully functional.

Kind of bizarre it isn't working on the Sprint version. Always thought Sprint was all in with Wallet, and it works on the One's predecessor.
Not a good sign, hopefully it's just a matter of something not being set up properly in the rush to get the phone released...

Would you mind sharing the apk with us? I've got root but each version I've downloaded just exits after warning that the device is not compatible.
Running TrickDroid on T-Mobile UK if it makes any difference.

GSM developer edition questions

I searched, and haven't found a specific answer. On the Motorola site under the GSM De there is an asterisk besides t-mobile. Does this phone support all of the t-mobile bands? And the De doesn't come with all the carrier bloat correct? Thanks in advance.

I can't answer the T-mobile specific question but for bloat, this phone is almost bone dry. That being said, the device is showing as a XT1053 which is a T-mobile device. It also appears to have all the bands needed as well.
This is what my DE came with that I can recall.
Motorola Assist
Migrate
Moto Care
Quickoffice
(plus the Google Apps you normally see)
There is nothing that I have seen associated with AT&T, T-Mobile, or other carriers. There are various Motorola specific services installed but those have to do with the actually useful functions you would want the X for. I turned off the animations (in dev options) and this thing is just super speedy. Skip works pretty well too.
The only thing I miss on this is root. I've been wanting to hold off for a bit before unlocking the bootloader but I'm not sure how much longer I can wait. So far I've tested almost everything I would use for day to day and haven't found any issues with build quality or defects. I'll probably give it a few more days then bite the bullet and unlock it. Google Wallet tap to pay also doesn't work. T-mobile does have the ISIS sims (wife has one for her N4) but I'm not sure whether or not the X will support ISIS.

Ty, I forgot to ask about tap and pay. Seems odd it doesn't work, and isis blows, it only accepts two credit cards, which are from companies that I don't use, and no bank account support. Not that I've ever used tap and pay, just knowing it's there gives me that warm fuzzy feeling, or maybe that's the wine.

Not having a full Google Wallet is a pisser. Supposedly the Sprint and Verizon editions DO have tap to pay though so I don't know if the hardware is different or if ours just has to be tweaked through software.

Wallet works on a lot of sprint phones, but they aren't part of the ISIS program if I recall correctly.

BigRed sucks.

Anybody come across any info regarding what Verizon can/will do to lock down the Nexus 6? Also, if I purchase an unbranded Nexus directly from Google and take it to Verizon for service, do I have to let them put any bloat or do anything to lock my phone down? I really like the Nexus 6 and since a OPO is out of the question, being on Verizon, the N6 is most appealing to me. I have an S4 and really like it but I'm ready to move on from Sammy.

I don't think Verizon can add anything to it. If by some corrupt chance they are, they cannot do anything to you if you bring your own device.
US carriers have asinine power. But, you should be safe either way.

I can't say anything about the nexus 6, but I can say that I bought the Galaxy Nexus on release date for Verizon they had it loaded with ISIS ( locked from using Wallet ) and My Verizon app, both of which without rooting you couldn't remove, just disable. So they WILL probably install their Softcard NFC paying app ( New name for ISIS, for obvious reasons ) and their in house Verizon apps they install on the rest of their phones. I just want the phone to come out through them. I'm locked to them due to employer, but I get discounts on phones through them too, so I'm gonna wait it out just a little bit.

But the bootloader wasn't locked. And it wasn't a unified phone.
The play store had wallet locked from being installed on it. Not the phone. Part of the deal with Google.

I'm more worried about when they are going to release it. Artem from android police said he's heard from the beginning that Verizon would lag behind all carriers with their release, and that it may even be in 2015. Along with all the mysterious things like google leaving out verizon on some of the page updates I'm starting to wonder if it is true.

Even if they did modify it in any fashion, I doubt any of the hardware is changed. Download the Nexus Factory Image, unlock the bootloader, and flash it. Instant stock/unmodified Nexus 6.

If purchased from the Play Store, I really don't think there's anything Verizon can do to muck up the phone when you activate it. Can't imagine there's any protocol in place for the phone to become "locked down" or anything when it gets activated on Verizon. At worst, I've heard some rumors that Lollipop has a function that can allow carrier-specific apps to be downloaded right away from the Play Store when it's activated on a particular carrier service, but that said apps could still be removed like any other.
From the looks of things, Play Store Nexus 6 devices should work just fine when you pop in a Verizon SIM card. Now, for those wanting to get a subsidized version of the phone, yeah, you might have to wait a bit longer for Verizon to sell it. It's a little odd to me that Verizon is seemingly opting to wait to sell it, themselves, compared to everyone else, but from what we've seen, the phone does, in fact, work on their network, so if you're willing to spend the extra cash on the Play Store version (or, if you're like me, stuck on a contract for several more months and HAVING to pay full retail price anyway), that might be the way to go.

I was lucky enough to get my pre order through the Play Store yesterday and immediately went and asked in Google's Nexus Q&A if Verizon support was going to work out of box... Ive attached a screenie.

It's a Nexus. It won't be locked down. It may come with some bloat but easily removed. If by some infinitesimal chance they do have it locked down, well I'm on month to month so bye - bye Verizon.
If you aren't going to root & rom, what the hell is the point of buying a Nexus anyway?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry if that was confusing, it was very very late.

I dunno man, reddit is suspect IMO and I was under the impression Verizon had already approved the Nexus 6 for their network. I doubt the reddit post is reliable though I suppose it might be. I think I read on the Nexus 6 was on the approved list on the Verizon website, a customer service rep said it was, though I could have read it somewhere else.

People, Don't believe everything you read on reddit. The phone is definitely going to work on Verizon, the only up in the air question is when you can buy a subsidized one.
Also Verizon is not adding bloatware and definitely not locking it down.
BTW I work for Verizon and this is what I do know.

i popped a Verizon sim in and it works fine. Well getting LTE anyway.

I don't know about the Verizon store Nexus 6, but Verizon can't really do anything to lock down the phone from play store unless the next android upgrade has to go through Verizon.

For those wondering if the Nexus 6 will work on Verizon or not. Here's proof it does work.
Now the state of the carrier subsidized version of the Nexus 6 and if it will be different then the Play edition is still up in the air. Swear to god if the delay is so they can lock it down and throw their logos all over the phone....

Playstore for sure, as for T mobile I don't know.

There is a Verizon store next to my gym so I went in there tonight to ask some questions. While the guy did not know anymore then I did about when the N6 would be available through Verizon, he did confirm that purchasing one through the Play Store and mayyybbbeee even through T Mobile and just bringing it in for service wouldn't be a problem.

I don't think many people question whether the Nexus 6 will work on Verizon's network. I think those with the Verizon questions (such as myself) are looking to get the phone on contract. My Verizon contract is up Nov 21st and I'd love to get a stock Nexus 6 on contract with no bloatware. If I can't do that I'll probably look closer at the Droid Turbo or wait a little while longer on getting a new phone. Hate to wait too long though on the phone subsidy model.

[Q] For those with Verizon is google wallet coming??

Unless I have you confused with another poster, your N6 isn't Verizon branded right? Or it doesn't matter because it's a Nexus and not blocked like Verizon did with all their other phones that I've had.

The N6 comes with Wallet, or ... mine downloaded it and installed and it's running fine at this time for me. (I have not yet unlocked, rooted, etc.)

It's all good just doing research till I jump in later this week.

[Q] What to upgrade to in 2016?

It is almost a year since I got my N6 from Verizon. I would want to upgrade by December. Are the alleged Nexuses from HTC worth it?

Your question is a bit premature. Until the upcoming Nexus phones are released, there's no way to know whether they will be "worth" it or not.

Will VZW sell a Huawei phone and/or allow it on their network? I got burned last year with a phone from Moto, that at that time, could not activate.

Considering how the current Nexus phones are only available in the Google store, VZW should allow it.

Never hurts to plan ahead and get some advice, here. Maybe they will be announced at MWC?

I would relax a bit guys. We have almost 6 MO the before the next nexus comes out.
I wouldn't be surprised if HTC does build it. Huawei on the other hand. Not very likely as the 6p was one of the worst selling nexus devices and most people refused to by it just because of who made it.

Either one. Due to the nature of Verizons network any AOSP device is gonna have trouble. Also Google will not make the same mistake of 2 nexus devices.

Google could have learned its session, but we will see. Verizon may sell none of them but allow them on their network, to eventually sell one of them. Did Verizon sl the 5X?

To be honest I am not sure. Verizon is not here.
Their biggest issue is the open source licensing. Alot of the telephone stuff for working on CDMA is closed sourced so it is hard to make it open source.

While this is true, the basics are that the stuff to run the phone operations on CDMA network are all closed sourced. So you cant really release a device that is supposed to be completely open source running a CDMA network. Thats why there are always issues with nexus devices and CDMA networks. You see the same thing with sprint the last few CDMA networks in the world as most use the updated GSM network.
