With the rumored delay of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus because of negotiations between Verizon and Google, many wanted to get Google Wallet put onto their Galaxy Nexus and start using it. With the decision by Verizon to not include Google Wallet in the Galaxy Nexus there has been a disappointment in the Nexus community by that lacking. Since Verizon is part of the ISIS group working on their own payment system, they have no incentive to add Google Wallet to their phones. Along with AT&T and T-Mobile, Verizon has joined in with them to build an alternative to Google’s product.
There have been methods where you can root the phone and then with a hack download and install Google Wallet onto your phone. For some, that may be a little too much for them to do. The rooting of the phone is not something that everyone might feel comfortable in doing because if it is done incorrectly it could “brick” the phone. But there is now an alternative to this method that makes it much simpler for anyone to be able to get the benefits of Google Wallet and use your Galaxy Nexus to make NFC payments for products.
The folks over at PC World have found a much easier method to accomplish the task which came from XDA-Developers on their many forums. This allows you to install Google Wallet onto Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0.2 and successfully use it.
The version of Google Wallet that is being used without having to root the phone is a modified version of the code is good news. The download comes from Mega Upload and you install this APK on your Galaxy Nexus with only a few minor changes on your Galaxy Nexus. The changes to the phone are located under Settings and then Applications. Once on that screen, check the “Unknown Sources”box and then you are ready to do the download and install on your Galaxy Nexus.
If you are interested in using Google Wallet, this is the best way to go.
I just want to mention I am all new to blogging and site-building and honestly savored you’re web site. Probably I’m planning to bookmark your blog . You actually come with beneficial posts. Bless you for sharing with us your web page.
There are some interesting points in time in this article but I donft know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity but I will take hold opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want more!
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
