I didn't think there was a battery with NFC for the S2. Can you link to a product page or something?

i bought it from a korean website i can t remember which one but there s near field communication writing on it!
There is currently no way to activate NFC on the i9100 - the battery may have the antenna but without the controller (which I'm pretty sure is in the phone itself), it's pretty useless. Sorry

Hi!
My brother bought an Xperia S with these nfc tags, and now i wonder if my Galaxy s2 has nfc, because in my rom and in samsungs rom there is this nfc app hidden in system/app please help me figure out if my phone has it or not, is there an app to use to see if i has it or??
What model SGS2 do you have ? (Hint: look at the sticker on the phone under the battery or the box the phone came in).
is ur model i9100? and not any other variant?
Then u don't have NFC...

I have an I9100 but then why are the nfc application included in 9100 only roms??
No idea. But you don't have an NFC chip in that phone.
Mine does have nfc also my phone has the tags application but not much use for it in the uk though
Sent from my GT-I9100P using XDA

There are other versions of the i9100 that have an NFC chip (i9100t or i9100g or something like that, I've forgotten exactly).
They must be able to run the same ROM, in which case a dev would rather produce a ROM for both models instead of producing 2 ROMs.
I9100P is the only I9100 model variant that has NFC out of the box. (not T or G)
There are other Galaxy SII variants that have it though - but just not any other I9100 models.

Yeah, like I said. I wasn't sure which only that there are other models that have it (that's why God invented Google). Mine doesn't so I'm not so concerned, meh.
No worries.

My post was meant more for the OP, not a slight against you or anything.
There's an app named Z-Device Test in the Android Market; it can detect NFC hardware.
Hello,
I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 smartphone running jellybean 4.1.2 which doesn't have NFC hardware built in.
I was wondering, can i purchase the NFC hardware piece that comes with the NFC supporting SGS2's and installing it manually?
and if it is possible, will it work?
there is currently nothing on the market that supports sgs 2 gt 19100 to NFC. In the future there maybe NFC built into sdcard but that is currently in the testing stage.
Current sgs 2 gt 19100p models have the chip mounted on the motherboard. On sgs 2 gt 19100 models there is no provision for mounting a nfc chip on the motherboard.

I read about something like "NFC battery", isn't it a battery with an nfc inside?

If I am not mistaken the antenna is in the battery but the hardware is in the motherboard.

oh, well that's a shame.. i wish i had more knowledge about these models before i purchased mine..
anyway thank you very much for answering, have a good day.
Hi
I would just like to know if the speaker and mini jack part works on both i9300 and i9305 because I can buy broken i9305(only screen is broken) and it's cheaper for me because it comes with original battery which my i9300 lacks and I know you can't change mainboard without modifications so I only want to know if I will be able to use this part on my i9300 http://www.easyphix.com.au/assets/full/S93-LSP-WH-G2.jpg
I risked it and bought it and it works just fine
Does the Poco F1 have NFC (at least in europe)??? I read somewhere that it doesnt have NFC, which would suck, since Google Pay just started here in Germany...
As far as we've seen specs, they all indicate it doesn't come with NFC, I guess it's a small trade they made for a cheaper phone (small for me since I don't use it)
No NFC. Read the reviews from Android Authority and GSMArena. The Verge also covered the phone.
I don't mind since there are no other SD845 phones under $399. They had to cut corners. NFC and IP cert are usually on the chopping block as far as features go...
No it does not have nfc
People in India don't need NFC. Because we barely use it. In the last five years I never used NFC. Maybe for Europe people their transport system has payments with NFC so they'll face an issue.

I never use NFC for payment. But using NFC for sending files (android beam) or transferring file from old phone to new one (if both support NFC) are pretty neat!
I am still confused. Many places say it doesn't have it but some websites (XDA included) state it does. Could someone verify?
Maybe its possible to Upgrade NFC with a NFC enabled Back Cover. WE need a tear down Video already!
The specs given initially on XDA included NFC. But it handy seems this was not correct - the post has been ammended to state "no NFC", consistent with other reports and hands-on videos I've seen.
I've never come across an external NFC device for any phone. Would be a handy device to have, though it would presumably occupy the usb-c, which in itself would be a PITA
Someone on another forum raised an interesting idea. There were the initial ideas that the F1 might have NFC. It was suggested that either the European version might have NFC or even that all versions might have NFC but that it might not be enabled in the Indian ROM.
To check this, if anyone has an F1, could they please install DevCheck from XDA or Play and just check on the hardware page to verify that NFC hardware is not present.
Thanks a million

Speaking of the European version, is that a thing yet? Is it possible to get my hands on that from anywhere?
Well bad news, devcheck shows no nfc hardware.

Hi Sanjay, that's the case on my Hong Kong / international version too - i think naff47 is asking about the European version (if that's different from the international one - highly doubtful I'd have thought). I read from someone in the Netherlands that it had launched there (it's available on import from China pretty much everywhere), but haven't seen this confirmed.
Time will tell

Hongkong probably will be made in China, whereas mine is made in India.
Not too sure if there is any other manufacturing facility for our phone
Plus I don't think NFC will add that much to the cost that they will put it in selectively.
The only way to use NFC with the F1 is by getting Samsung S3 Fronier smart watch. That will connect to the F1 and the watch has NFC. I tested it and it works great. You need to use Magisk hide if you're rooted,
There is no NFC built into the Poco.

Great to hear you've found that setup works!
Just to check, have you managed to write to tags as well as read from them?
I won't be shelling out on a Samsung smart watch, but if that works, there's hope for other smart watches!

In India an S3 frontier costs more than Poco F1
Exactly!! :laugh:

Who is gonna spend that much and that also in country like India.
but in India we use Mostly Paytm, PhonePe, BHIM UPI etc. apps which are UPI based apps so We don't need NFC must Have.
UPI is the standard way from Indian Government to Pay Digitally even with Low End Phones, and this phone is made accordingly!
Hi,
I have an Xcover 3 and still the GPS displays wrong date (1999...)
I also did some tests with an "ancient" xperia mini (model 2011) and also with a spare BB10 both were tested with the gpsstat apk,. The GPS date is correct on both of them in contrast to the Xcover....
Is there any GPS diagnostic that resets or something like this, or the Samsung just used a crap GPS chip on that model.
TIA
