Here and there I see people report that they've successfully scanned some cards with an NFC-enabled ROM. I've never had any luck, even coming off fresh wipe/installs (no themes or anything).
I know Google Wallet won't work, I just want to test it out.
If you've had it working, post what ROM, kernel, and app you used--please!

I used NFC TagInfo, works on VillainROM Hellraised, should work on Unnamed.
Note that on I9100 Hellraised ROMs, you must be in the TagInfo app when tapping the card. If you are not, the NFC service may force close due to permissions issues with many cards. (A Mastercard PayPass credit card doesn't cause an FC, an NFC Type 2 card with NDEF data will.)
I'm running Unamed and used the app "tag info" and about 6 other ones lol they all worked without me having to be in the app I held my card near the phone, the furthest being ~3 inches, and it still read it lol just wish I could test it out some kind of way at a store.

Hmm. I'm almost certain I tried it out on VillainROM a couple of days ago when I Hellraised it just for the....err, hell of it. I've tried TagInfo and NFC TagInfo. Maybe I just don't have any readable cards.

Many of the new roms are being stripped down, I assume breaking things so just ask them to either include the files or ask for what is being removed/modified.

Honestly I have had this problem on LILROM also (also was playing around with Rebel) and they both do it. I triple checked this before posting so someone didnt think I was just being dumb and it was a password problem but I can login fine to Amazon using the same Email/password on my laptop and on Shostock/ICScrewed fine. It was my understanding that the Amazon market is limited to US users so far and not international which was why I was curious -- its really a deal breaker for me because I have a ton of paid apps that are shared across my phone and several Kindle Fires. Hopefully someone figures this out and thanks for taking the time to respond btw...

Thanks I will give it a try but having tried LIL/Nonamed and Rebel already I suspect something is going on here that is either in relation to this base or how its being hellraised? I am not a developer but work in IT so if there is any information I can provide that might help correct this please let me know.
I will post back with some results on this later I need to wait for my GF to go to bed so she does not think I am ignoring her texts.
No issue here. Using lilrom, flashed before it was named, if that makes any difference.

Please don't blame ROMs for issues with logging into cloud services unless a problem like this exists for more than a day or two.
Login problems are frequently problems on the service provider side - for example, the Market wigged out on me this morning, but 20 minutes later it was OK.
If you install lots of roms check amazons site under your apps and devices. You may have used up the allowed amount of devices, just delete some and try to login from your mobile again.

Got ya, thanks for the clarification.
I bought these nfc tags off Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-NFC-t...ue-13-56Mhz-ISO14443A-Mifare-1K-/160784861558
Unfortunately they are not formatted and my phone (running shostock's 2.2.6 ics) cannot format them. When I try to write to them it says:
The tag does not support ndef standard
Some looking up on the web showed that ICS used to have this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22258
But according to the more recent comments on that page, this was fixed with 4.0.3.
So my question is this:
Does anyone know if it's possible to format unformatted nfc tags using the i777?
(As this is the only device I have capable of doing anything with nfc tags)
I'm willing to flash any rom, but I've been too busy of late to trial and error test different roms to see if it can be done. If anyone can point me in the right direction of what to read or if there are roms that can format these tags, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you! I have tried using it before and it didn't work. But I kept at it this time because I knew you got it to work. After about 3 or 4 write fails and nfc quit working and refused to turn back on so I had to reboot the phone, it finally worked! Really appreciate you taking the time to offer the suggestion.
out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish with the nfc tags?
Only thing I use NFC tags for is profile changing. 1 on my desk at home, one in my car, 1 in my desk at work. Turns on/off bluetooth, wifi, sound and mobile data according to where I am.
Same here but I have a separate tag for Pandora in the car. I don't always want to use it.
Plus I'm offering posters to businesses in town that allow for four square check in. And the one at the local theater not only does four square check in but also puts phones on silent , I know, I've been busy these past few days.
One next to the bed for all the things I normally check when I wake up. It opens everything and then I use Gesture Controls "kill app" to close each one once I'm done, which shows the app behind it without going first to the home screen.
Now if I can start my car with an nfc tag. Obvious security issue? I hope so!
I just got some unformatted nfc tags and can't seem to get them to write. I used the nxp tag writer but it refuses to write to it no matter how many times I tried. Also I don't exactly see a format option any where in the app. Do i just keep trying to write a text string till it works? I also have nfc task launcher but it also will not write. It once said successful but it didn't have anything on it when i checked with tag info. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am running shostock2 2.2.6.
[update] I restored my icscrewed nandroid and was able to write to the tags. So I'm assuming (bad word I know) that it may be due to the ICS nfc bug. But I thought it was fixed in 4.0.3
NXP did the same thing to me, but I kept doing a bunch of times and finally it formatted one. Once it did one successfully it did all the other ones no problem.
I just nandroided back to icscrewed and wrote a simple text string to each and then restored back to shostock2. A hassle I know, but once they're written to they work in ics just fine. I can overwrite as needed now.

I have no problem writing unformatted tags in shostock.. the app which comes stardard in the rom can only read the tags. Try some free app in the market. I remember using an app from NXP semicondutors (Tagwriter) its free and works great. It formats the tag for you, but I guess its in the setting so you got to enable that
I thought i would make post detailing all the possible ways to use our xperia nfc phones for payment and if we can get Google Wallet to work
Method A) UK- In the UK the Orange quick tap app has been released for the galaxy s3, this may be expanded to other NFC phones soon
(dont know about anyother countries but if anyone knows then ill add the info
Method B) Google Wallet
So this is what i know so far i think this is all correct
There is a secure element in our phones
The wallet app does not appear in the app drawer (not sure why exactly) I tried defrosting it however it does not appear in titanium backup
A older version of the app does appear AND launches however only when NFC is turned off when it is turned on it crashes
Reasons for the app not working could possibly be because the nfc libs are not all there or are modified. This was a problem for other phones but is fixable by replacing the libs *i think*
I do not know how the app behaves under cm9 or cm10 or under Kangs jellybean port because my bootloader is not unlocked so could anyone try ?[/SIZE][/SIZE]

In Singapore, you need to change to nfc SIM first. Services provided are dependant on the Teleco. 1 of them only have ezlink function(a card for trains, bus etc), while another teleco provide master card service.

Yeah I've been trying for the last 2 days to get GWallet working with no success. All the modded versions don't install and the real version installs fine but errors with "This device is not supported"
Have put the question up on Modaco where Paul made the modded version but have yet to receive a response.
Started a thread here in the apps section but just got silly comments back unfortunately.
Would love to get it working
Bootloader ???
Does anyone have an unlockable bootloader and are able to try the app on cm9 or cm10 ?
since beginning of November in Poland (t-mobile and orange) has started nfc payments. xperia s is supported.

I've just got a Barclaycard RFID chip stuck on the back of my Xperia S
it works! and it works perfectly!
i can choose between different cards and banks, I can set default card and pay without unlocking my phone...
in local shops, when walking or riding a bike I dont have to remember and take care of my wallet...
soon it should be an ability to buy a ticket to the cinema, theatre, match etc thr the phone and then just use nfc to enter that places...
i hope NFC will expand
How have they implemented it? Do you need a special SIM for it or using the stock NFC chips on the Xperia?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
one have to switches micro sim card to nfc micro sim (free for me), then one receives an app MyWallet where you can set bank's cards, default card, preferences, security. and that's all. if you set default card you can pay when the phone is locked or even turned off (battery can't be empty)...
components:
1) SIM NFC;
2) MyWallet app;
3) NFC controller;
4) Wallet management server

Hi,
I'm on XXELK rom, the polish 4.1.2, rooted with CF 6.4 and CWM touch, Siyah kernel v1.8.6, some tweaks added via STweaks (little bit of undervolting, GPU too etc.), and a little modding here and there (really, just 3 things: 23 toggles mod, 3 way boot + crt off + multiview for any app).
I froze some apps such as messaging, internet, all share cast, sammy's own bloatware I never use.
Anyway, NFC works just fine, it clicks right away when back to back with my Nexus 7 or another S3, beams content and whatsoever, except for 1 app: NFC Postemobile.
This is a relatively new app by the Italian MVNO, which uses their own new SIM that has a prepaid (rechargeable) MasterCard included, for making payments just as Google Wallet works.
As a matter of fact, back with ICS, I had a GW modded apk on my S3 and it worked like a charm (well, while the $10 lasted, as it couldn't be recharged), so no problem with payments either.
Now, all this app does is let you click on a "Activate Payment" button, gives you 60 seconds to do the magic with the PayPass thing, and it supposed to give you either a "success, €2,00 paid by PayPass" message or an error message.
Well, I tried and retried (thanks, McDonalds guys ), but the app seems to do nothing when activated and placed anyway (believe me, I tried in ANY way) on the POS(with Google Wallet there was an instant *beep* and the payment was made).
Is there any way to find out if this is an error within the app, or if I broke the NFC communication in some way by modding something? Can I try anywhere else (possibly without losing money on the prepaid card ) to see if the app actually triggers the NFC chip or not?
If you read till now, thank you. If you have a solution, thank you 1000 times. :victory:
P.s. I have 2 original NFC batteries, tried both, no luck. Also, NFC works perfectly on my Samsung TecTiles, meaning it's not broken...
Please guys, nobody?
I'm here trying to figure out the problem, and since NFC communication works in any other app I guess it's just an app issue, but several others on the market seem to have it working...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Today I reverted back to XXELK with no mods at all, just for the sake of trying, but the app doesn't work anyway.
Isn't there a way to, with another NFC phone or tablet, "intercept" the NFC signal sent from the phone (if any) while I click on "activate payment"?

Use FasterGPS to change the gps.conf back to the US. It is fairly straightforward to use, just give it root privileges then:
1. Under continent select North America
2. Once you select continent the Region box will become selectable, you need to choose United States.
It will show a toast message that says the GPS.conf was written successfully, then you just need to load Maps up and it should lock on quickly without losing the signal.
If that doesn't work just post back and I will give you something else to try because AFAIK the Super, Mega, and whatever the hell wipes aren't recommended for this phone and if I am remembering correctly they caused soft bricking on our phones that was a ***** to fix. While this wipes have most likely been fixed I wouldn't bother with them, if you want to do a wipe because what I told you to do doesn't work then you just need to boot into TWRP, click wipe, click the box on the right side (I think its format data or something but I can't remember off the top of my head), type yes, click go and then reflash whatever you want. At least try FasterGPS first, that works most of the time on International Roms.

With this fix you don't have to push anything at all, just boot into recovery and flash it like you would a ROM. Don't bother wiping anything with this fix, just flash it.
http://db.tt/9E3aMJxS
Also pushing files isn't that bad when you use something like Root Explorer, all you have to do is copy and paste it to wherever it needs to be. If you have to fix the permissions after pushing it you just have to long press and change them, it will load a little box with all the permissions and all you have to do is check the ones needed.

What the hell? There was a report of that in the thread in General but I figured it was bogus because the person would never ever reply and every single ROM I have tried it on, TW included, it either fixed or did nothing.
When you restore your nandroid does your GPS go back to the normal non working state?
Something else you could try, that i just thought of when replying to someone in the VRB thread, is making a nandroid of a TW ROM, that you got a strong GPS lock for at least 5 minutes, on your internal SD and then try either reflashing Moon or restoring a nandroid of it. I would probably just reflash it to have a clean slate but I would also understand if you didn't want to have to go through setting it up again.
That probably won't work but I know on my S3 I had to have a working backup on my internal or else GPS refused to work at all, on my Note 2 I have to reflash the fix I linked above if I forget and wipe my nandroid before establishing a lock.
Also are you trying to get a GPS lock with or without the Wireless network setting on? I know on AOSP having the WiFi and Mobile network location setting checked in addition to the regular GPS location it would refuse to even turn the GPS on. You had to have the wireless location setting off before you could get your GPS to work, while this isn't AOSP it could be a shared bug and is worth testing out.

For my Thunderbolt there was a file called "SuperWipe" that was essentially a blank file system that you could flash to your phone to quickly clear EVERYTHING.
I have not seen anything like that for the Note II yet.

It was released right after the phone came out. I want to say it was released in the N7105 forums, it could have been AT&T though, and there were some serious issues it was causing in all the Note 2's. It was supposed to have been worked on but I haven't heard anything since then and honestly wouldn't use it after all the corruption issues that arose from it.

That is the way i have always done it, on CleanROM ACE 4.9, Vanilla Rootbox, and all the other miscellaneous TW and AOSP ROMs I've used it on. It is made for AOSP but didn't hurt any of the TW ROMs I've rested it on.
If it completely got rid of your GPS when you tested it before though it may just not be a good idea to use it on Moon.
When you're testing GPS do you always have the WiFi and Mobile Network Location seeing under Location Settings checked? I know on AOSP for a while you couldn't use that setting at all and then on some TW ROMs you had to use it to get your first lock and after that you could get away with not having it enabled.
I would just flash Moon ROM and see if you can get a lock. Try it after creating a nandroid of a TW ROM that has working GPS on your internal storage, on my S3 the only way I could get a lock on any ROM was to keep a nandroid with working GPS on my internal SD card.
