[SOLVED] How to add less than $20 to Google Wallet? AND MORE ABOUT GOOGLE WALLET - Nexus S Themes and Apps

Hello all,
Recently I purchased a $15 Prepaid MasterCard not knowing there was a $20 minimum top-up. I am wondering if there is any way to add less than $20 to my Google Wallet. Also, the "Other" option to add money does not work. ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!
Sincerely,
HeroKhar

The little policy thing they want you to read before you accept and use it declares that the prepaid can only be loaded with a minimum of 20. And the other is over 20 like 25, but the least you can put is 20. Google locked up security with the app so hackers can't steal money from them. Your only option is to buy a new prepaid card, VanillaVisa has 4.95 fee and i think walmart has 3.00 fee. Or you just going to have to swipe until you get more money. Maybe buy some nfc tags online and programming to do cool stuff. Your coolness factor for checking out at stores is going to go down, but most people seen this now so its not going to be as great as when the nexus first had it.

No problem. Canada's coolness seems to be a bit behind. Just next time remember to check before you buy prepaid cards. I ran into alot of mistakes with those things.
Also!!! just hit the thanks button in the lower left hand corner. Its like gold over here!

Haha yeah, its been a while since I've used Wallet and I completely forgot about the minimum reload amount. Also, I've been around XDA for quite some time and I know how much the thanks button means, so I gave you one. Thanks again for the reply and take care!

Yes, check out this video here, I followed it. It's a great tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtUBw4dCaNo&feature=g-upl

Worked great. Would be nice to get the new version released today. Wonder if it will be easier for Canadians to add funds?

1) Are you rooted?
2) Do you have a device that has NFC (aka a compatible device)?
3) Did you put the modded APK in both locations as mentioned in the video?
4) Did you set the correct permissions as mentioned in the video?
5) Did you reboot after doing everything?
I hope I helped you, feel free to ask any questions

You know my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810282 will help you out, the links have been updated too for the latest Google Wallet and indeed yes it does help us Canadians A LOT the video of that guide has also been updated (links, etc.). The method of installation, however, remains the same, just replace the new APK with the old one. Check my guide above for more details. Best of luck to you, my friend!

Do you think that the prices listed by eBay are the final ones?
I mean when launched in India, they might increase them a bit! Like around 30k or something..
But if this is the price, then I am certainly buying it!

Well.. I got a ebay coupon with it. 7% off in Ebay. so I am getting it almost for 25000 (16 GB).
You can bargain with your local retailer when it is available for that much or even lower once it is available.
To speak the truth 350 USD is almost 19000 INR so with the local taxes here being high we can get it for 25000 and it will be a great deal.
Still lower the better.
Yep! 25k for such a high specs device is a great deal..
But I really do hope that it don't go beyond that! Since Indian markets have a habit of selling the flagship devices over 30k!

hmm.. but let's hope that this is going to break the price point.. if you really see the N8 (Bad comparision I know..) the flagship of Nokia was sold for 25?? well.. let's hope we are going back there.. but again depreciation.. but this is a real deal for such a pricing..

This ROM is still a WIP. I have been able to flash this successfully myself but others have expressed issues with phone FC's. I am currently looking into this issue to find a solution.
Here's another port for you guys, should be functioning right out of the box as I already patched in the data fix.
As usual if you flash your phone you know the risks, be careful.

Well, this is the problem. If he didn't get permission from the dev, it's against XDA rules. Plus, the dev told me personally that he was planning on bringing this ROM to the Sprint variant "soon", so I don't want us to piss him off resulting in him changing his mind.
Trust me, I love the ports because of the options they bring, but I don't want us all sitting in the dark 3 months from now because we pissed off all the devs that were planning on bringing their ROM's to us.
I realize that I'm taking a very unpopular position here, but I'm thinking long term here.

I agree, it is unpopular. .Im with mjs, No harm in making sure permission was given. It is how its done. mjs has been around long enuff to know how this works, and trust me he means no disrespect. I was wondering the same thing, theres been more than a few feathers ruffled recently.No harm in making sure
Definately didn't ask permission and i am planning on bringing the rom to all 4 carriers and prefer to have a unified thread instead of small branch off ones
But Carry On, i dont care if you keep this up now, but when i post my official build i would appreciate if you take it down

Fired off a PM late last night while the upload was running it may not have made it if it didn't I apologize.
In the PM I mentioned I had planned on keeping the port updated until official support came in which case I would remove the port.
Sorry about that sbreen, my connection at home is nothing short of horrendous.

I had the same question about asking sbreen for permission when I saw that you posted this. But had the same idea of.only having it up until it brings it over officially to Sprint. Anyways thank you both for bringing this.

Cyanogen for the TF701....have extra tablet

I have lurked here for years but recently have decided to get into an android tablet. After two returns of a TF700t....one due to seller dishonesty (selling refurbs as new, but he apologized) and one due to getting a lemon, I gave up on ebay and pre ordered a TF701. Two, actually, as when I first ordered from Newegg they advertised an 11/4 release date then I later saw an 11/17 date. I thought maybe they took enough preorders to fill their first allotment.....possibly....so I asked them and they had no info. So I pre ordered another from excalibur. I thought whichever one would ship first I would keep and I would cancel the other order.
Wrong. Both orders were filled within an hour of each other. Friday.
So here's my question:
Since I have one extra tablet, I would like to see if there is enough support here so we can donate the tablet to a developer. I have PM'd the 10.2 (jellybean) developer for the 700T "dasunsrule32" and he asked if there might be support here to do this. We know it takes enormous amounts of time to to this work so I am looking to see if anyone might care to contribute a portion of the cost.
I paid 453.00 for the tablet. I am willing to contribute 50.00.
We need a developer interested in getting a free tablet, who can write a new bootloader, CWM (or TWRP) and Cyanogen jelly bean or KitKat. I know this is dependent on the
Asus bootloader unlock tool working.
So if we can get a list of ppl willing to contribute, I can send the tablet to dasunsrule32, or if he can't or is not interested, this offer is open to other developers.
I know I am an unknown face, I might propose if we get enough support that we send the developer the money, I am willing to send the tablet without getting reimbursed
for it. But I would ask that its a recognized person with a track record on this forum. When the tablet is received, he/she can reimburse me minus my 50.00 contribution.
Other ideas??
I'm interested, if there is enough support from the community.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Sounds like some kind of Kickstarter project ^^ i would be interested to contribute if we get enough ppl together.
Any news on this?
The only thing stopping me from buying a tf701 is some kind of confirmation that someone will port cyanogenmod
Thanks!

Good to hear from you. Now we know we have at least one dev on board for CM
I'm looking to buy a TF701 myself and would love to see CM10 or 11 ported to the device. I can only contribute $20 for now, but I could contribute more in the future if someone's actually willing to develop for it.
@pershoot picked up the tf701, so if I can get this one, we'll both be able to bang out this device. At least it's a start

I flashed your CWM recovery and it seems to be working just fine. Finally able to make a nandroid backup. I've been scared to start freezing bloatware until I was sure of a bailout option. So thankyou for that!
One concern: CWM did not recognize my external SD. I didn't see an option to backup to it and going to the mount menu and choosing the Mount USB option had no effect. Card is a Sandisk 64gb mobile ultra formatted FAT32. The TF701 recognizes it just fine, but SolidExplorer for some reason doesn't see it unless i specifically navigate to ...Removable\MicroSD. That was a known issue in previous versions of SolidExplorer that was supposed to have been fixed - I have a support ticket in with them. I haven't tried another card yet.
Oh yeah. I think the link for the CWM recovery at the very least should be posted as its own thread in the development forum. I think a lot of people have been waiting for a working, reliable recovery, and they might not find it buried here.

Cant unlock bootloader c6903 EE UK Z1 Anyway around it?

Having had my fair share of issues with this phone, i've now found out that when i try to unlock the phones bootloader that I can't do it.
Went to the unlock bootloader page and tried it even though the phone said NO to unlock and it failed.
Does anyone know of a way around this?
Seriously had enough of this phone now, really annoying me, doesn't seem to be a lot of people with this issue either.
Bootloader Unlocking Allowed: NO
You can't unlock bootloader. Is impossible and no confirmation if even will be in some "unofficial" way.

I feel your frustration as I cannot unlock my c6906 either. To bad carriers opted to have this done. I didn't have the funds to straight out buy from Sony so I went the upgrade route from my carrier and paid $99 instead of the full $700 cdn.
Damn it! I'm on the same boat then.

Im with EE too and have the same issue. Im not fussed anymore, im selling the phone and will be getting the note 3. This phones the first phone ive had, in a while, that I havent flashed roms/kernels with. Shame on Sony/EE for messing it up.
Mine is from 3 UK and bootloader unlock is allowed

I've had my t-mobile/ee phones from phones4u and carphone warehouse. If you go through them, rarely are bootloaders/sims etc locked.
Just a hint for the future
That's why i never a phone from Provider
1. Bootloader 5h1t
2. not really somehow cheaper, as my home city is Hong Kong, can buy cheaper phone then provider easilly, especially for parallel version
3. ok, i know most of u are not from HK, buy it from Amazon or Ebay, ask the seller if the BL is unlockable.

I understand what you mean and I will never be doing that again, the reason i went with EE was because the insurance is way better than anywhere else, i'm a long standing Orange customer and their customer services for me have been top notch, I get 40% off my line (retail discount)
Could have went to CPW but didn't as they didn't have the deal i wanted, plus the insurance.
Will never make this mistake again but it is an absolute first for me, all my phones have always been from orange / tmobile / vodafone, never had an issue with the bootloader being locked down like that, damn them for it.
Will be going with O2 and probably the HTC m8 when it surfaces.
Won't putting different firmware on it solve this? Or is it put on the handset a different way?

Unfortunately you tried to give an answer without knowing.
I am losing my will to live here currently.
I apologise, but if you stick around a few days and read some threads you will see it was justified. It has been an Xperia issue for over 2 years. So there is LOTS of info about this if you just google it.
I will delete it anyway..

I was just asking a question. I have genuinely no idea how the bootloader is locked...it wasn't an answer, it was a question hence why I said "or is it..." - clearly I don't have the knowledge yet.

Keep trying, its a journey
One I have enjoyed, but I needed a few kicks in my arse to get on the right track,
You need to read, learn and try for yourself.... That way we all gain from the experience, instead of just handing out "updates" this is about modding and doing it yourself.
I do hope you understand..

I do get that- and I am reading around a lot...but I've only just got up on XDA and haven't really done a lot re:bootloaders before and it was close to xmas And with work I just haven't had the time. Next time just point me in the right direction and say "No, it doesn't work liek that - read this" or "look up this" instead haha. Either way, if you celebrate xmas have a good one, if not have a good day..
Hope someone finds out soon in regards to this.

I do m8 an i love that pic, been on my fb for years, an lol you sound like your head hurts m8.
Just noticed that this is a TRIPLE facepalm, haha.
Same. EE/Locked. not bothered as i have no desire to have custom roms.
Why do Carriers lock the bootloader?, whats the benefit to the Carrier?

Thinking about nexus 6

Verizon has a promo deal today and I currently have a note 4. Can't root it and missing customizing
What am I losing by switching from note 4? 3 less megapixels..I guess I'm in the impulse mood lol.
Any issues with it currently?
im thinking about a pot of gold.. but i guess that doesnt matter at all. oh, btw, questions go into the q&a/help section, not into general. ill ask a mod to move the thread there
I used to have a note 4, and also really missed customizing my phone. I then sold it and bought my nexus 6 which rocks. I think all those gimmicky features on the note 4 are not really worth it.

If you want customization options, then you want a Nexus. Though xposed is limited currently, the custom ROM development is outstanding. This is one of the easiest devices to root/ROM and as long as you read and follow the guides, it is very hard to brick. Read the sticky roll up thread in the general forum and look for the beginner's guide. A great place to start.

I came from a Note 3. I never used all those touchwiz features. I don't miss a thing from the note 3.
Will the gear s lose any function with this? Gear app won't work correct?

haha well i changed my mind after just purchasing a Gear S yesterday and realizing what im losing going to a Nexus
Well if you like stock android the nexus 6 is a good switch. I came from a nexus 6 to a g flex2 to a note 4 and i like having a skin on top of android. I didn't really like the bone stock android but everyone is different. The camera is great with hdr + on but all the videos seem very fuzzy when compared to the other devices i owned.
