Hello!
Proud owner of a NFC GS2, which seems fitted with PN55 + SIM Card Security, I'm going around and around on forums to look for NFC implementations.
From what i've understood, NFC is currently working on the Nexus S with an Android 2.3.6 or 2.3.7.
I've got a 2.3.5 GS2, NFC enabled with NXP App and various NFC reader/writers working, but Maps NFC and other stuff like FIle Expert NFC File Sharing (P2P or whatever) is missing.
I've seen a test with a CM ROM named Kang-something, but it's reported not working.
Any developer insight about framework, of if this is just about apps, or whatever?
TYVM!
My own answer seems to go towards the SGH I777 phone, that is a I9100P too.
There seems to be an unclear separation between the I9100 and the I9100P in this thread.
SO COOL!

We can hear that Samsung will launch ICS for S2 on 1st of march.
But until today each leak from Samsung ICS does not have bluetooth SIM Access Profile (rSAP) .
I tested each leaked version from the first XXKP8 to the last XXLPB but none of them has SAP support built in.
Does Samsung stop supporting this bluetooth feature?
Officialy Samsung supports it (cf: Samsung S2 specs choose table view/Conectovity/Bluetooth profiles) and all the stock rom under GingerBread that I tested are SAP compliant. But if they stop the S2 under ICS will be unusable with the premium car phone system.
For those who don't know what is SAP/rSAP I wrote a small explanation:
It is different than the bluetooth hands free service wich is an audio gateway. With hands free profile all the communications, securities and radios are done via the server (S2).
The rSAP client (car phone) is a real GSM phone (most of them can host a real SIM) so all the communications are done via the rSAP client and the radio is turned off on the server (galaxy s2) obviously because the SIM card can only be connected to one phone. The main advantage is to use a 8W GSM radio with an external antenna. Also you can spend many hours in communication without draining your smartphone battery. The main disadvantage is because the smartphone radio is off you cannot use GSM/3G services on your phone (but you are driving!).
rSAP car phones are commons in European cars.
All Nokia's and Sony-Ericson's phones with bluetooth support rSAP. Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 with 2.x.x stock ROM are supporting rSAP...
The main problem is: Google does not support rSAP and we cannot add it!
Why because even if Android is full open source, drivers from samsung are not. Modem.bin is also not opensource.
In fact for adding rSAP to AOSP (android open source project) Google must add 3 trivial functions to the RIL (radio interface layer) specifications:
taking the ownership of the sim card (obviously control the connection to the phone services)
writing APDU raw messages.
reading raw APDU messages from the SIM card
If Google decide to do that the RIL library wich is a Samsung closed source calling the closed source modem functions will have this 3 functions and next we can develop an opensource rSAP support.
Samsung did not develop their own opensource rSAP support they use Nokia's Meego implementation wich is opensource.
With Ice Cream Sandwich I hope Samsung does not stop to support rSAP...
Also I hope Google will add AOSP rSAP support wich is needing 1 day of programming. If Google does that we can have rSAP on all Android phones...

I cannot imagine (or hope) that Samsung stops the SAP support.

It is not a "real" question since it is not an "howto do something" it is a question about the futur specs of SII under ICS
I´ve just upgraded my GSII to ICS 4.0.3 (XEO) and unfortunatelly I can confirm that rsap is not supported
Edit: with app rSAP from market you can fully use your mobile in car works great
Finally Samsung stops rSAP support
Now I'm quite sure they stop the rSAP support.
I tried all the Galaxy S2 ICS roms and none have rSAP support. I've also tested the Galaxy Note ICS leaked rom and there is also no rSAP support.
I cannot understand Samsung behavior. They premium phones that cannot be connected to premium phone car kit.
Even my basic Samsung B2100 has rSAP support.
Since I went back to GingerBread hudra78 could you send me libsec-ril.so for analysing ?
Thanks
I reported this to Samsung. That is their answer:
Thanks for reporting this, we'll take a look at it and if we manage to find something, we'll let you know about a workaround.

Now rSAP support got added to LineageOS, look here.
I just ordered an unlocked Galaxy SII from Amazon. I want to use this as just a Wi-Fi Android device, would i be able to do this with access to all android features (marketplace apps). Or do i need a SIM card just to use the device? Thanks!
If your using it as a wifi only then no you dont need to unlock it and the market dosnt require a sim, why would you want to do this though
I know its weird, but i have the money and i want something to replace my slow Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and i felll in love with the S II at the store. I want to use it as a Wi-Fi only device for now because i don't use my phone very much at all and i don't want to pay for data right now.
Some apps like Whatsapp, Viber and other communication apps require simcard as ID. But you wont need any just for browsing internet, email, facebook etc. Android market doesnt require sim card too
Thanks a lot man! I was just making sure it would work like my Wi-Fi only Galaxy Player did. Thanks so much! I get it tomorrow, any ROM suggestions or should i wait till the official 4.0 update in march?
I would not recomend to use ICS roms yet if you want stable.
If you want just try... here is overview
www dot galaxys 2 roms dot com
I found good ones myself: "AndyX ROM", "Pure ICS".
Hi guys,
I have noticed that in the forum there are many mods to make this functionality work with the screen off,
but in none of the threads there is mention of the Galaxy s2 with NFC (i9100p).
So are there compatible with my device??
If not is possible to turn them compatible?
Thank you very much
Edit: I have tried but none of them seems to work...
Is there someone able to make a compatible mod for i9100P or simply turn compatible one of the mods for the other devices?? thanks

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere but I couldn't find it with a search and cannot post in the thread for my rom in original app dev. Does anyone have a solution for the battery drain caused by the NFC chip on 4.3 roms? (I've read that most than just Carbon Rom has this) I have tried freezing NFC / Tags but this doesn't solve the issue and I think the NFC activity keeps my phone from going to fully to sleep. Thanks for any help.

Dose anyone know is there a way to make S3 natively support ANT+? I know S3 has the hardware to support ANT+. It requires only software side to make S3 compatible with ANT+. Android 4.3 or above has ANT+ support. However after I installed Omega AOKP 11 with android 4.3 ROM and ANT+ plugin and radio service on Google play I still couldn't connect to my ANT+ heart rate monitor which I can connect using my Note 3. If anyone knows how to make S3 to support ANT+ sensor natively without using any dongle please shed some light, thanks.

Theoretically yes, the source code is on GitHub, but you'll probably need some binaries according to the readme.

If someone could create a custom ROM that was just the official build plus ANT+ support, I think there would be quite a lot of grateful takers, myself included... Very frustrated by Samsung's omission on this - I've come here as a n00b looking for whether such a ROM exists already, but no luck yet!
Any progresso on this?

Hi,
I've got a S3 LTE. Today a made the 4.3 Update OTA.
In many blogs and boards is told about the S3 ANT+ support in this Firmware.
So i've installed the ANT service and ANT plugins, but it don't work.
The demo app told me to install the USB driver for the extern dongle, cause the Hardware is not capable to use ANT.
Is there a driver update from ANT neccessary, or what could be the problem?
StompSC
Yes, the info about ANT+ being supported on the i9300 (non-LTE S3) was incorrect. I assume it's the same for the S3 LTE.
If the update had included ANT+, the ANT+ radio service would already be installed. You are able to download these fron Google Play to enable you to use a usb dongle.
I believe they haven't included an ANT+ driver, which is why you can't use the hardware that is included in the phone. It's the same situation that we had previously with BTLE (hardware there, but no driver), but they included the driver in the 4.3 update for that, so BTLE now works.
See this page for more info:
(Argh can't post url as I'm a new user. Google "dcrainmaker ANT+ s3" (without the quotes), it should be the first hit.)
