Download: Google Wallet Apk for Galaxy Nexus LTE, All Users – No Root or Zip Flashing Required

by: Kellex | posted 12.17.11 | Apps, Downloads, News

On Friday, a flashable zip file was made available that would put Google Wallet on your LTE Galaxy Nexus. The process was not all that fun, and even after completing it, some were still running into issues. Well, guess what? An .apk has been released that apparently works flawlessly on any Galaxy Nexus device running Android 4.0.2. There is one thing to note though – if you previously flashed the .zip file from Friday, you may have to return to a backup pre-Wallet or this .apk will not work. For those that were waiting and have not messed with any of the Wallet builds, feel free to give it a go.

Download: com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.apk

Install just as you would any other 3rd party app.

Via: XDA

Cheers Seth!

The security buzzer went off at my local CVS. I’m sure it was caused by my phone. it’s the only thing different on me????
Dan Harrison

I tested this on my LTE Galaxy Nexus at my local Best Buy to test it out, and to use the free $10. When I went up to the cash register and it authorized it (along with the chime Google Wallet makes), the cashier looked puzzled and literally said, “What the heck did you just do?”. I explained to him about Google Wallet and he looked quite intrigued by it.

I just wish it wasn’t so limited. It only allows adding funds to a Google prepaid card, or using a Citi card. I am not a part of Citi bank so I can use that, that and the NFC gift card options are for places I never go to.

So this is fun to play with and great to get $10 free, but overall not very useful to me if I have to use the Google Prepaid card as a middleman for payments and not many places here have the MasterCard PayPass NFC terminals (only other place here is Meijer).

has anyone actually gone to a store and tried it out yet?

yep. worked like a charm. the lady behind the counter was confused at what took place with my phone and the pinpad.

Kelly

Thanks! Works as described
Not too brite

Running a modded APK that forensic experts say isnt secure enough to be included on a phone. Great idea.

http://www.facebook.com/billyNOTnice Billy Gladfelter

as you can see everyone is really concerned that the free 10 dollars might get stolen. You probably shouldn’t risk it lol
QtDL

I didn’t think this was modded. It appears to be straight from Google. VZW didn’t want it on their phones b/c it would have competed with the NFC payment system company they have millions invested in.

Can anyone solve this issue:

I have a few problems after unlocking/rooting the phone. I thought it was a SIM card issue, but it’s not. After I unlocked and rooted the Gnex, my 3G/4G service just disappeared, I had none. So I re-locked and unrooted it, and I got data service back. Any thoughts? (I did go to Verizon a couple hours ago to see if it was a SIM card issue)

Just purchased a $5 toy for my kid at the grocery store (trip made specifically to test). The cashier had no idea what I was doing, looked totally confused, a manager walked over and said “I’m positive that won’t work, just use your card”. Then zap, then click credit, then sale complete. Worked perfect.

Any word on an .apk install for the GSM version? Although Verizon’s the big bad guy in the US, Google hasn’t released Wallet north of the Boarder, so us Canucks are still waiting …

Well, it took me about 5 or 6 tries to get it fully installed and initialized, but it worka! Now, where to test…?
angermeans

I was so excited when getting this phone and firing up XDA to see Paul O’Brian, the Cyonogen guys etc are all going to be developing for this phone. Still to date the best phone I have ever owned was the Nexus One and ever since I have been chasing phones to get that same “real Google Android experience” The devs for this phone are going to bring some amazing stuff to this device just wait.

Just installed, no problems, got my $10 pre-paided card.

Went to Sunoco, got $10 worth of free gas on Google…

Could not be happier with my Nexus, best phone ever
Anonymous

Just installed and have the $10 credit, anyone know if this works with a case on the phone, particularly the crap-ass Verizon Holster (Im waiting on my Seidio Surface/Holster combo so I can return this POS). Half the fun of having Google Wallet is looking cool when you pay and fumbling with this crap-ass case trying to get NFC to work would take me from nerd with cool technology, to just nerd, lol.

Derp

Just go to a grocery store that has it and play around on the self checkout. If its not super busy no one will care

I tried with my case on. Worked like charm.

@sucks u mad bro?
Sucks

Who cares, the Nexus can’t make it past 3.5 hours of 4G use before it dies. Fail.

Mine lasted 9 hours yesterday with moderate use.

I’ve got Wifi at work and dont use 4G unless Im downloading large picture files or streaming…. 8 hours, was on 45%, moderate use.

WRONG!!! don’t be a lying azz dik! been way past 8 hours on a single charge.

I got about 14 hours yesterday using Juicdefender, 3G and Wifi, no 4G, and with all of the standard stuff like GPS and Backgrounds sync turned ON.

So let me get this straight I don’t really live in a big city And this supposedly fantastic app is now released in the only place I can use it is at mcdonald’s? I have a feeling this will take a while Before every big retailer uses This application.

TheRealBeesley

This type of payment system has been out for years. NFC is not that new! Its just new to phones… Credit cards have had RFID chips in them for years… So we actually have more of a jump on this payment type than you might think. Just look for the Wifi type symbol near the credit card swype and try it out. Also, there is an app u can download which tells you every store around that accepts this type of payment. Its in the help section of wallet.

wow u gotta love uncle googs
Usarmy1494

now i just need something to sync my Facebook contacts and ill be all good.

PBD

I’m pretty sure the 4.0.3 update they’re working on will fix that. Fingers crossed!

mrpotatohead99

Yes, you are correct. As soon as developers (i.e. Facebook) update to using the new API provided in 4.0.3 we will have Facebook contact sync again. Bravo Google, bravo!

Anonymous

use friend caster app to link contacts with facebook.

nick

It doesn’t link anyone’s cell phone #. Is it suppose to just display your facebook friends?

Anonymous

If their name is spell the same as fb should auto link. If not open contact like you going to edit then press the 3 vertical dots under time , select join and wa lah..

nick

All contact spelled correctly on FB, not working. Just displays everyones names in the ‘People’ app and when I join a contact, it still doesn’t work.

try going to phone setting then accounts and make sure its setup to sync.

Anyone know of any retailers participing in the mobile payment system besides starbucks? I must live somewhere that hasnt heard of mobile payment…

Now all we need is a battery cover without the vz logo but the nexus logo

Anonymous

That wont happen since the gsm and verizon battery covers are made differently. They wont fit on one another. If you dont want to see the verizon logo i would get a case.

Anonymous

True, it would be impossible to make a battery cover that replaces Verizon w/ Google… /s

Just get some of these….should do the trick!

Rock on! $10 loaded in my Google Wallet debit card. Thanks Droid Life!!!
http://www.facebook.com/borisof007 Ryan Furlong

An EASY walkthrough for the dummies like me who don’t understand how to do most of this stuff:

6 easy steps!
1. Connect your nexus to your computer
2. Download, on your computer, the Google Wallet APK here:http://www.mediafire.com/?2oqw5uur1af9uuj
3. Transfer the downloaded file from your computer to your phone’s “downloads” folder. You do this within windows, just like copying a file and putting it anywhere else. Super easy.
4. On your phone, download the app “Easy Installer” from the android market. It’s free.
5. Go to your phone’s settings, go to applications, and enable 3rd party apps to be installed.
6. Open Easy Installer, it’ll autoscan through your phone for APK files to install, it’ll find Google Wallet. Install it and you’re set!

thanks bro, worked great
Dave Goldstein

I just visited this page on my GN’s browser, clicked download, clicked open to install it.

Anonymous

take that verizon.
Sera3phim

downloaded and running 100%. I can’t wait to use this app in-store! The only thing that is odd to me is the lock in the top right of the app. Click it, enter PIN, back to main menu; No perceivable changes are made.

Phil

If it is locked, when you go to pay or use the app you need to enter your pin. If it is unlocked you can.pay without entering a pin I believe.

Charles Blackmon

where do you install the file at?

Use a file manager to run the thing and it’ll install.

worked for me!!

I used my (flashed) wallet last night at cvs. Because of the $10 credit I got a free santa hat

It would be so funny to buy something from Verizon with this just for the hell of it.
Anonymous

Can someone post the directions on how to “install just as you would any other 3rd party app?” I’m a noob and I’m not sure how to do that. Thanks!

Stephen

go into Settings –> Security –> Allow install of non-market apps.

Then download this .apk

Anonymous

Okay, I’ll try that. Thanks

Anonymous

I didn’t have that setting set and I downloaded first. Now I went back into the settings and changed the security settings.

Now I don’t know where my download went? Can someone tell me where to find the file I downloaded?

Guest

I’m a Noob Do you you have to unlock the phone.

Is it safe?

Installed and cant wait to give it a go. Sure this will end up in a software update at some point.

Just a heads up to everyone. It looks like google wallet automatically pulls your credit card info from the android market. My discover card showed up as the default and active card when i signed into google.com/wallet

Stephen

Yes, because that it what card that was linked with your google checkout account, which has now merged with wallet. They have not released the versions that are good with AMEX Visa or Discover yet, though, so that card information is what would be used to fund your Google “credit card”

Try uninstalling then reloading it again

Just did twice, no luck.

will it work with other NFC phones? My HTC Amaze has a NFC chip.

Most likely not, but you can probably find another version somewhere on the internet.

Couldn’t agree more. They feel like they are the superior site for android.

Amazing….. Installed, First time did not load the Prepaid card so had to uninstall and reinstall and then worked fine.

Thank you so much all the devs involved in this effort.
Anonymous

So tempted to down load this. I think I’ll wait a few days to see if there is any fall out.o

Anonymous

This is exactly what Verizon didn’t want… LOL

Now we can all easily download and install it. They should have just put it on there in the first place.

A normal phone and most would not even know they could do this. But since this phone had no advertising and the early people who bought it know about it from the web. This should be loaded on most units pretty quickly.

hahahahahahah

delrayser

Damn. Was just at Macy’s last night and got pissed bc all their credit card terminals had big “Use Google Wallet Here” signs and I couldn’t. Would go back today just to try it out but there’s no way you’re getting me back to the mall until after Christmas!
Matt Becker

This guy is eating his free Mcd’s. Worked 100%, took a few min to get the free $10, but had no problems in Mcds.

Lunaticmo87

How you get a free $10 card from google?!

Davros

When I just installed this I clicked on the Google prepaid card and it just automatically gave me the card and put $10 on it.

Anonymous

This is correct. Install, sign in and click on google prepaid and a 10 card will appear.

pete

Hw can i control that after free $10 hw much money goes into my account?

Cant add a prepaid card. Tried over wifi. Over 4G. Over 3G. Nothin.

Try uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Same thing happened to me and second time it worked.

Same here as well. Hung when adding prepaid card the first time. Uninstall, reboot, and reinstalled. Now i have $10.
