my EVO 4G LTE won't detect any tags or devices. My nexus S 4G and friends galaxy nexus work fine with each other and my paypass credit card tag. Anybody else have this issue? I'm on stock rom + root. Hoping my hardware isn't defective. I did take the shiny black cover off to check that the antenna contacts look normal...

Yeah, I'm not sure if mine is working either. I've tried it at a few checkouts, but it never does anything. And I don't have any other device with nfc to check it with.
May have to stop by best buy and check it with their demo phones or something.

If you have a credit or debit card with paypass (NFC tag) you can install the NFC tag info app from the market to test with...
I tested today with two friend's EvoLTEs, and both of their phones had NFC that worked with each other, but not with my phone. Looks like it must be my hardware. Guess i'm headed back to Best Buy for an exchange. I will RUU and try again first just in case...
Listen, the EVO 4G LTE NFC antenna is behind the back top glossy cover. The SGS2 NFC is on the battery. So, that is why you need to put the back top half of the EVO LTE over the lower back side of the other phone.
I've found that if you're trying to use nfc for checkout it's easiest to already be in google wallet, but all that's required is for the screen to be on.
for other apps like beaming a webpage to another phone, hold them together, they'll buzz, then tap the screen on the one you want to transmit.
some apps don't support nfc beaming, like gallery.
as always, make sure settings are enabled in "settings/more"
I dunno if you have a case on or not but according to Google wallet support hard rubbery cases weaken the signal while hard plastic cases work but it's best to go naked while using it.
Sent from my EVO LTE using Tapatalk 2
thanks for the replies. yeah, i don't use any case, I prefer the thinness! After my RUU back to stock this morning i still can't get any NFC connections to happen, so i'm headed back to best buy for an exchange today...
Best Buy replaced my phone today and now NFC works as expected! It was funny when I talked to the "mobile manager" and told him my NFC wasn't working and he asked me "What is NFC." yeah... regardless of his knowledge-ability of technology, he did give me a no hassle exchange and out the door in under a half hour, which is lightning fast in my experience in that store...

No way to know yet because the back is different on the EVO 3D versus the Sensation. The Sensation has a partial metal backing, from my understanding, the EVO 3D is all plastic with a coating of some type.

ok,but does not depend on whether the shell and put it or not but ,where is installed on the cover.
put your hand on the top back of your evo in a medium coverage area and watch it drop a bar.
put your hand on the lower half of your phone with low wifi signal and watch it cut it.
I've been around cell phones along time, they all do it.
the biggest issue is more in poor placement, as in putting it where most everyone holds there phone.

I just tried as you say with my touch pro 2, and this does not happen at all
I never said touch pro 2, either way I'm certain you can do it on a touch pro 2 as well as long as you cover where the antenna is, you can do it to any antenna in the world guys, come on...seriously, who in there right minds thinks you can cover a receiver and NOT affect its reception? some may be more measurable than others, but like i said it all has to do with convenience of placement.
oh and BTW I've done it on a touch pro 2 as well. but I for the life of me can't remember what part of the phone the antenna is at.
The antenna is on the top quarter of the touch pro 2, from the speakerphone button and up. It says so in the manual.

It only really affects the phone if you have poor reception. So you wont notice it otherwise.
But yes it happens to all phones... people just bashed the Iphone for it because that area that caused it is in a place that you would cover by normally holding your phone.

Google wallet isn't exactly taking off. There seems to be new issues with it all the time.
Could this be the real reason Wallet doesn't work on the EvoLTE?
This whole payment via a phone is ridiculous. I've commented a few times about it. I was shaking my head when I read a few people was returning phones cause wallet wasn't working. NFC might have a future but the future won't be in payments. I'm just glad I used up my $10.

I felt the same way when I first heard about it. After seeing it and using it I have to say that I feel very differently about it. It's a cool idea and very convenient to have all your coupons and loyalty cards in there and automatically applied as you make your purchase. That being said, Isis is the system that will probably win out in the end.

I used mine at rite aid today, didnt work at first but the reason was, because the clerk has to switch it to credit or what not. It wont just work at some places, you have to tell them, "credit please". An usually you will hear something on their side and it will tell you to swipe card, then you just tap your phone.
I have a Seidio’s ACTIVE case and it works great.
Had no problem using mine at McDonald's but messed up the first time I tried it by not holding the phone on the card reader long enough. Once I realized that it works flawlessly.

It definitely doesn't work with all systems that accept paypass. It requires the correct software on the retailers side as well. For example...I went to The Container Store (which fully supports Google Wallet) and tried using my phone. It would beep and my phone would acknowledge that something happened, but it their side couldn't process it. Exact same thing happened at Banana Republic....who also supposedly accepts Google Wallet. I think this will be corrected as time goes on and it's not so "new" anymore though.
Well after receiving 3 clnr rezounds for signal problems my current one I believe has a bad proximity sensor. I was on the phone with Verizon today for a while and the tech offered to replace it with a incredible 4g or a razor. Now I know there is like zero development for the Inc and close to that for the razor so my question is what would ya'll do? Or would I be better off trying another rezzy? I do like this phone besides all the problems I've had.

Quit returning working phones. Quit looking at your bars. That is what I would do. The proximity sensors for our phones can be adjusted. Play store app called Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator.
Not trying to be rude but I see posts like these all the time where guys have returned 10 phones for various "problems". Interesting when I know of at least 10 people with Rezounds in my group of friends and family and nobody has had to return one.

I never quite understood the reasoning behind that. I couldn't see the benefit of it. A friend has the iPhone 4, I believe he said the chrome piece around the whole phone was the antenna. That's a smart design, exterior antenna that looks good also. But I'm sure if any other manufacturer tried anything similar, lawsuit would arise.

Yeah that is strange being my issues were related to the signal. Verizon tech support and I always did lots if trouble shooting before sending a new one out but the never even brought up the back cover as a possible culprit. It would have been a lot cheaper to send one of them out to try versus a new phone.
Well I do have a update on my replacement phone. I called back again and explained to the tech support guy that I do not want a razor and that I really need a screen larger than the Inc. He said ok let me see what I can do and then offered me a Samsung intuition or a LG stratosphere 2 or something like that. Told him probably not cause the sammy had a 4 inch screen and the LG just looked butt ass ugly to me. He the put me on hold again and offered me a razor maxx and again I said I don't like Motorola. Then I brought up the dna and he put me on hold again and came back and said he got that approved for my replacement.
It should be here tomorrow afternoon so I guess we'll see how it performs. I really do dislike changing phones all the time.

Yeah I know that they are not and all I want for a phone on a plan that I pay a lot of money for is one that I do not have trouble with every couple months. The dna does seem to be pretty solid from what I've seen.

Hey guys. My phone is about two Months old our so and my charger port cover is already not staying shut good. I'm thinking about getting a wireless charging setup, but was trying to avoid it because of the cost. Anyone else having this issue?
Also what wireless setups is everyone running?

How do you even install this ? Just wondering for future reference hopefully not anytime soon...... But does the thing that hold it in place just gets pushed in there ? how will you take the old one out ? Or do you have to take the whole phone apart, Making the phone not being waterproof anymore which basically will be pointless since that is the whole point of this lol

You have to take out 1 screw from the back. Thats it.

Well no, but what other choice do you have? The bright side is it's only $5. I mean, the only other option is to get a wireless charging sticker (which breaks the water resistance anyway), or a real samsung wireless charing back cover. Both are more expensive than just replacing this flap every 2-3 months. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung if this is truly the case though.

Just actually took a look at the phone and you are correct so not that bad kind of annoying but at least is an easy fix let me save the link for the port cover just in case I need it in the future lol

I hope I won't need to replace it though. A $700 phone shouldn't need the user to replace a part every 2-3 months. The GS1 (att captivate) had a sliding door that never broke in 3 years of use. Maybe samsung should have done that.

Just to let you know, tmobile would have replaced it, but don't go that route. They send refurbished phones that are more than likely to have more problems than your original phone.

Yea, I don't want a refurb. I have done that before with them and it was ok, but my phone was a year old. This one is too new!

How many people are having this issue? Sure hope mine isn't problematic like this. I'm getting an OtterBox Preserver case so i might just remove that cover to make it easier to plug in the charger plug. but then again, if the case were to ever fail, it would be nice to have that extra protection guarding the device.

So far, there's been 2 reports. One in this thread (obviously), and one in the accessories section. I've only had mine for about a month, so I guess that's why my flap is still fine. Hopefully it will stay fine though.
I found this for you guys. I'm definitely downloading this YouTube video for later use. I always seem to find youtube videos that have been removed when i actually need them lol

When you say broken off, it's actually detached from the phone or just loose?
