I can't recommend enough watching this video. The law professor explains why you should never speak to the police. It's 46 minutes long, but every minute is pure gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE

You can already do this with Google Wallet on Android. Enter your card into the Wallet app, then swipe your phone over any PayPass terminal and it will process the transaction. At least half the retailers I visit already have PayPass termin

The underlying problem of that bug (missing audiofx support) was fixed with the Android 4.3 update. It's up to app developers to make use of the APIs now. See comment #20 on the page you linked in your post, where I describe the issue
