get a drink or something at a sheetz or a seven eleven, its worth seeing the look on the cashiers face, and the people in line behind you.
I am currently unlocked and rooted running the gummy nex 0.3.0 ROM with the extended battery. I have been using google wallet ever since i had a custom rom and ive only run the gummy nex rom so far and google wallet works fine so far. Had no problem with the battery being "linked" to the phone so i think thats unrelated. The other day the transaction wouldnt go through but on the phone it said it was sent. I had to restart my phone then it worked fine, i think it had to do with the fact that i did not have the "blue bars" only gray, when i restarted the phone they went blue and the transaction went through fine. maybe the bar colors were unrelated but just a thought. after reading this im going to be a lot more careful about flashing roms and using google wallet, thanks.

so basically this is my story of trial and error. I didnt use it before rooting my gnex since I honestly didnt think about it because it wasnt installed by default. Once I rooted it, I believe during my usual test-a-rom phase I go through to see where I am comfortable, I saw it came with gummys gapps. I kind of jumped for joy and set it up and started my prepaid card. I think brought it to cvs where at the self checkout it works like a charm. That night gummys b-day edition came out so I clean flashed it and went about my daily life.
Today I went to go pay at cvs and it didnt work.....no response what so ever on the phone.... Then I walked over to mcdonalds to test it and it responded and appeared to send the funds but the cashier pretty much looked at me like I was nuts since nothing was happening. I couldnt tell what the problem was so I just rebooted my phone. Upon rebooting it and looking at the wallet app it claimed "your card was removed from your phone by your bank. Contact Money Network for further instructions." Yea......I was shocked. So I then remove the card and try to re-apply it and get the new favorite error "Error addng card" no matter how many times I try again.
the best part is that after the 1st working effort, i added funds to the google prepaid card...
So I called up Money Network and I swear they are just terrible and useless.....so annoying.....I amnow awaiting a callback from one of their reps to try and do SOMETHING!!
To be clear, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I cleared data, and I even reset google wallet. I nandroided back to my state directly after rooting and installed it there only to have the same error.
The really odd thing is that if I titanium backup restore the data for the app, I can see the card and the balance as if its all fine, but when I tried to use it in that state....got the same thing happening as it did in mcdonalds. Once I reboot, it does the card has been removed.......ugh FML

There is about as much chance as you frying your CPU . The secure element is not nuking the nfc chip. The secure element is a feature in the nfc radio. A non responding secure element does nit mean yournfc radio is ruined.

Actually... and no disrespect... but I don't think the Google Wallet which can be installed on rooted or un-rooted Gnex is hacked at all... in fact an update recently posted by Google in the market was subsequently posted in the XDA thread for download and works fine.

Take note that it is recommended at this point to do a 'reset' of Google Wallet before changing ROMS, etc. as described in the OP the XDA thread. I installed the latest update which was pulled from the market which updated the older version no problem. The latest version currently posted in the XDA thread OP is Google Wallet 1.1-R47v1 straight from the market which I am running and works fine. You can see the latest version of Google Wallet posted by Google in the market here: https://market.android.com/details?...nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLndhbGxldG5mY3JlbCJd
You just can't currently install Google Wallet on a Gnex from that market link at least normally thus the XDA thread OP having it available for download / install

see so this may have been where i got killed, i didnt reset my wallet before changing roms. the odd thing is even when returning to my gummynex it still was dead even if it showed the balance. very odd
