i'd hate to be one the tough asses you see on here but, how about not rooting your company phone?

Not rooting a company phone, it is my phone but i connect to my work with it for emails, contacts, etc... but to take your method of thinking... Perhaps we should'nt root our phones at all since verizon does not approve of it....

I don't think he is saying that we shouldn't root our phones because companies disapprove. I think he is saying, don't root your phone if you want that particular app to work without issue....

I'm curious to know how the app checks whether the device is rooted. I see similar behavior with the new Android Market on my rooted Nook Color; Movies just don't show up, but I don't get a SuperUser request, or anything indicating the app is checking for the ability to gain root.

Are you sure its rooted? Rooted? Rooted?

I bet that the app can scan the installed apps and check for SU. I would check the permissions of the app and see if there is anything odd. If your running CM7 i thought a little while back they introduced the ability to block permissions for apps. Might start there.

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.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

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?

SuperSU already installed

Anyone know why SuperSU is already installed on my Moto X PE? Came from the factory like that.

Sounds like you got sent a refurb/used phone. I'd call Motorola.

From Motomaker? Sounds fishy. I added a screenshot so you can see it. It doesn't appear in the app drawer, only as a system app, so it's not really rooted. Just the app is installed.

People do send back motomaker phones... What do you think motorola does with them? Again, I'd call them. SuperSU most definitely should not be preinstalled.

Sells them as refurbs, since you can't (legally) sell a phone as new if it's been in the hands of an end user.

I think the app auto installed when you logged into your google account.

Don't forget Motorola is a Chinese company now, and there is no illegal thing there. Everything is legal.:laugh:

Did it come with Kit Kat or Lollipop out of the box? I got mine yesterday and it was still Kit Kat and a friend got his Monday, also Kit Kat. Both MotoMaker Pure Editions.

It came with KitKat out of the box. It also auto update itself after a factory reset. I don't care that it's there, I just thought it was strange. I went ahead and rooted it anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore.

I agree. I factory reset my device and SuperSU pro was installed from the play store during app refresh on a non rooted phone.

The place where he posted the screenshot from does not just show system apps. OP, are you able to uninstall the app through Settings -> Apps? That would tell you if it was installed as a system app or not.

No I was not. The uninstall option was not available. That's how I knew it was a system app.

Well, my concern then would be what someone could have done with root access. In theory they could have installed other applications, like potentially a keylogger.
I personally would get a replacement if my phone was really rooted when I received it.

I never said it was rooted, only that SuperSU was already installed. Anyone can install SuperSU from the Play Store, but it's useless without the SuperSU binary that goes along with it. I just thought it was an intersting find.

Not as a system app they can't. The phone either had to have been rooted at some point or it was flashed from a custom recovery. You can't install an app from the play store as a system app without root.

Right, this is what I meant. If it's installed as a system app then it is clear evidence that someone modified the system partition on your phone. That would concern me, personally.

Oh yeah good point... I hadn't thought about that. Now I am worried. I did perform a full reset, perhaps I should do a system wipe and reflash the stock img?

Yeah... it hadn't bothered me until this point. I'll be contacting Motorola today. Might be moot now since I'm legitimately rooted and unlocked, but I do still have a warranty.

[Q] Rooted. What should I disable?

So just rooted using pingpong and am wondering if you guys can tell me which apps and services to uninstall or disable. Thanks.

why would you root your phone if you didnt have some specific reasons to?

Ya, i think some people confuse the English language. I'm sure he has or had plenty of reason to root but he's asking a basic question on what apps to freeze, or what bloat can he uninstall. Don't hate on him cause he did not trip his Knox counter and you did! Lol J/k guys! My Knox counter is tripped too! But I prefer an unlocked bootloader myself...

For adaway and greenify. I'm just asking which apps or services are safe to disable.

I Gennify any app that has "Gcm" next to it that I don't want push notifications for. For example, don't hibernate espn if you want espn to push your teams score or something.

Can't install Netflix app

I have the SM N950N 256gb.
I cant find the netflix app on the play store neither install it through the play store when going on the computer.
NETFLIX is supported in Israel (where i live) and i had it on both my galaxy s4 and my oneplus 3t.
What could possibly be the reason?
Thanks

Are you rooted? If so, that is the problem. Netflix no longer allows their app to be installed on a rooted phone.
There is however a workaround. Search for it using "install Netflix on rooted phone".

Nope... No root

I havent. How do i get a safe apk of it?

Ok i installed an apk. It works great. Everything is fine as expected. It just bums me out that i have to go around and get an apk. Besides the fact it feels less secure than using the play store. Its also not gonna get any updates which is also annoying.
I just hoped i could fix it without having to go around

Netflix site worked for me. They provided apk.

I had issues with Samsung pay saying my phone was not compatible after a factory reset. Samsung told me to get phone warrantied. I knew it was software issue not hardware. I agree I hate trusting downloading apk off the web. But I had to since Google play store apk was the problem the play store version was compatible with my phone
