Here in Sweden there is rumour that SGS2 I9100 will not have NFC at launch.
NFC will come later and the SGS2 without NFC cant upgrade to NFC.
For me it sounds like a totally stupid idea.
What do you think ?
Have you read anything about it in any other country ?

Well I don't know about Sweden but in Ireland, support for NFC is pretty scarce (read inexistent) so no harm really...
Same here...Just a few project and i think i have SGS3 before NFC is big here..
But i still hope NFC is in SGS2
I want the best heh

Here in Finland we hardly have color TV's, so the lack of NFC is not a problem.
Doesn't bother me much if they have NFC. In India there is no support what so ever and I think it will be years until it does.
Although I would still appreciate the technology within the phone. I travel a lot, and it would make it easier to conduct fast transactions.
Clove have confirmed (in the comments) that the UK version will have NFC:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/04/14/...-confirmed-exynos-chip-quad-band-3g/#comments
No NFC would be a big deal for me -- sure, it's not popular yet, but getting phones with NFC on board will be key to making it popular in the future. Google are also pushing NFC heavily:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/14/google-expands-nfc-check-ins-clutters-more-restaurant-windows/
It doesn't really matter if you really need NFC you can buy one of these SD-cards http://www.nearfieldcommunicationsworld.com/2009/01/12/3485/tyfone-puts-nfc-into-microsd-cards/ they have built-in NFC
i find NFC totally useless at this point
i've had the Nexus S for aprox 6 mth already, and i still have not found a SINGLE place that will offer NFC anything,
i'll be happy to see an add via NFC, but not even so.
i'll say we'll need at least 2 more years before the public sector, and market includes more NFC stuff.
i'll be interested to use my phone to pay for items via NFC
but NONE store supports that yet.
again... NFC is too green, there is no market at all for it yet.
in 2 years time we'll probably be at SGS 3 or SGS 4 already
Agree, especially in locations that NFC requires data transfers, most stores wont be able to offer it in India. I could see some retailers doing it but it cannot be expected that EVERYONE will go crazy over NFC and buy a $700 device to utilize it.
In sweden Samsung has confirmed on facebook that SGS2 launch without NFC.
And that they will launch one version with NFC later.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I cant wait.
Lucky me that i live in north of sweden.
It will take years before NFC is here
And Germany? Any news?

If it doesn't has NFC (ordered @ amazon.de) the price has to get lower!
I want ALL features for this price atm.

It might be that for certain carriers branded S2 will be delivered w/o NFC since the carriers THEMSELVES integrate NFC on their SIM-Card.
So speaking about NFC or not NFC: this is a tiny chip with a value of 1-2 .- € !

Isn't NFC a hardware-feature in the phone

NFC can be implemented via SIM card if the carrier wants to and also via SD card. Where the chip is located within the device is mostly meaningless.

And how can the device read NFC-Information like buying traintickets, etc.?
With the Sim-Card or SD-Card???

The phone can read the sim/sd-card, thus the NFC chip on the card. As long as the phone is prepared (in terms of hardware) to read NFC chips from sim/sd-cards, I don't see any problems.
I'm not an expert but I think that technically it should be possible to put NFC chips in cards like sd or simcards.

I don't think so .. you would need a new interface for the cardreader .. maybe something like mhl for the usb-port (standart-micro-usb isnt able to put out video as hdmi does) and i don't think this will be integrated ..
NFC will be integrated into the phone .. or not
but for sure not in the sd/sim card
Edit: Ok maybe it could work, according to some pages i found on google .. but still appears weird to me

I just picked up this phone that was released today by AT&T.
Only reason to spend the money was to get the NFC feature.
I see that the battery has NFC on it, but
1. How do I enable the phone to use it?
2. How do I set it up?
TIA

ask the ATT galaxy section
The phone is NFC ready but it's not being implemented at this time. From what I read somewhere At&t is still waiting to finalize some agreements. In my opinion they might push an update to the phone to "activate" the NFC.

Does NFC exist on UK's SGS2s as of now? I mean if I go to any shop and buy SGS2, will I be guaranteed to have a NFC in it?
no, you will not be guaranteed to have NFC. Some handsets have it some do not it, you need check out the phone before you by it.

Don't worry too much about it.
There is nothing to stop companies from sucking your money
You are going to get NFC anyway.

I need NFC because I'm going to tweak it to make it a smart card for transport systems in future if possible. So, I've got no choice but to have NFC enabled phone.
Wow. Australia still uses paper tickets...
I've heard there are different variations of the SGS2 that have NFC but you'd have to do specific research on the device you were purchasing.
Also NFC is probably going to be available on on phones with an sd card slot based on upcoming technology...

As per title... I found very interesting the nfc enabler for GB by fonzi09.
There's a chance to have something similar for the new ICS releases?
Our phone doesn't have nfc, unless you're using the Korean version.
But there's still some hope in nfc sd cards.
They do have NFC

Mine is also NFC
Sent from my GT-I9100P using XDA
I bought a GT-I9100P Orange branded handset on Ebay. Rooted and unlocked it and using it on TMU. Aside from scanning my PayWave VISA card (which is encrypted - so nothing interesting to find) there's little use for NFC in the UK. Orange have a "Treats" app allowing their customers to get free food in EAT at the moment. That's about it... Google Wallet / VISA payWave / MasterCard PayPass are not available in the UK (yet) and even Orange's own QuickTap payment platform isn't available for their GT-I9100P though is available on two Samsung Bada OS phones... I get the impression I paid more for the P model for no good reason. That said I'm resolved to wait for the carrier firmware update. There's too many issues with Root access and payment platforms and also NFC compatibility with AOSP or non-GT-I9100P dedicated ROMs.
FWIW CheckFUS shows 4 GT-I9100P models - France (Orange), Italy (TIM), Slovenia (Mobitel) and UK (Orange). None yet have a ICS ROM.

I cannot post in forums where competent people give competent answers, and here I get NO respect for a full legit question. Mind all of you, I'm not mad at you, only letting out my feelings. Every one of you did not even by far respond to my question. I didn't want to start a chit-chat about this or that mobile... Only
Wanted to know if there'r someone who can reveal if a mod like that is out for ICS roms... That simple put...
Please every-new-one keep OT...

How could i know if the Galaxy S III that is being sold in my country is NFC Enabled or not? I went to a few service providers and the sales people and the TECH people don't know what NFC is......There is however a test phone available......Is there a way to find out if the phone being sold is NFC Capable or not by looking at the test Phone? In some menu?

I am not really sure, but according to Samsung every S3 comes with an NFC chip by NXP
Do you happen to know any real world applications or use for NFC yet?
There is a NFC option in settings > more settings.
Hey,
I have a big problem with my LG G5 H850. Google Pay or other mobile payment solutions via NFC don't work.
There is not even an error message at the payment terminal, the mobile phone is not even recognized as a virtual card.
Even if I hold a second mobile phone to my LG G5 and start an app to read NFC tags, nothing is recognized.
Generally NFC works on my G5, other NFC tags or cards I can read with it.
I'm currently using Oreo, I've already done a factory reset. I also tried all NFC and Tap&Pay settings.
Do you have any ideas what else I could try?
My next idea would be to buy a new phone
Are you running an aftermarket battery? I remember the extended battery on my Samsung s4 didn't support NFC

I think no. I bought a new battery, but it seems genuine. And the battery has only 3 contacts, so i dont think it has the NFC antenna included.
Which brand is it? You said it's genuine. Meaning it's the yellow oem one?

Yeah.
But as far as I know, the G5 didn't has build in the antenna in the battery. And anyway, NFC works, but not with payments.
Doesn't anyone have an idea? I really don't have an idea anymore, the only possibility I see is to buy a new phone.
