NFC won't turn on. - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

As the title says, every time I go into Google wallet it says that I need to not NFC on so I go into the settings and attempt to but every time I press it, it checks and then unchecks every time. I AM rooted. But I don't see how that could affect it. Any ideas?

No Google Wallet with root?

Not sure if that might help, but it may steer you in the right direction

Yeah I did see that. But I'm not sure how it would affect my NFC. Thanks for the link though. I didn't flash a rom or factory reset anything.

Did you change batteries? If you did that's why.. the nfc chip is built into the battery

Is it really? I don't see how it's just not turning on.

Yea.... so if you change batteries it won't turn on

I didn't switch batteries though. I tried to flash back to my stock rom from when I first rooted but it's not working.

did u set up google wallet prior to going back to factory?
has nfc worked at all for u like in the past maybe when it was stock?

I set it up, rooted and tried it and it won't work now. Went back to factory image and I can't even access wallet because I can't get nfc to turn on at all. I'm gonna try to unroot and then try it and see

Lol now after trying to unroot Google wallet says it's not compatible with my country. WTF.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

theres posts referring to this problem. Apparently you're supposed to clear the settings within google wallet before rooting. Google wallet may be permanently bricked on your device

I dont see how google wallet messed my nfc completely up

Question about flashing back to stock.

Hi, I recently flashed back to stock Rom and all was good. My device status was normal, flash counter reset. But today after a week it says modified. Can any one help me out on this. I don't wanna keep flashing stock every time it says modified.
Thanks.

Just an update. It's gone back to normal by its self. I haven't installed or installed anything. I find thing kind of weird. How is it possible to do this?

use triangle away from playstore
There will be no triangle away without root...
THe only thing you can do is:
Root, triangle away, reflash stock if youd like to have an out of the box phone
I have done all this. But it changed by its self to modified and has now gone back to normal :-$ that's what I find weird lol

Time doesn't update

For some reason, the time in the notification bar does not update unless I go into the lock screen and come back. Anyone else have this problem? Anything I can do to fix this?

I had to wipe cache. Then it worked. I kept trying to set alarms but they would never go off. Then I notice that the clock wouldn't change unless I unlocked screen.

How do I clear cache... Im not rooted. This really drives me crazy and has made me late a couple of times already. Clock doesn't change until I turn the screen off.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I don't believe this is a Note 2 problem. I noticed today and on numerous occasions in the past 6 months my Thunderbolt has been doing this as well. It'll get stuck at a certain hour and won't update until after I start messing with the phone again.
It might be a network problem my boyfriends iPhone time gets stuck sometimes he's on Verizon if that helps?

Thank you but never mind I'm retarded needed to simply restart it working fine now.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I cleared cache which obviously made me restart the phone and now it's working fine. That was weird. l hope it doesn't happen again.

Try an app called "touchscreen test" in app store first....verify that your whole screen is detecting touches...of you find an area not responding then you can have a backup to show the store the defective digitizer which then they can repair/replace the phone...will save some hassle...and just to be safe, revert your phone to stock in case they try their "hard reset first" protocol...hope that helps to diagnose your problem.
Edit: just realized OP posted both times and you seemed to have figured it out...well in case someone else reads with same issues I guess

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.

GPS lock??

hey guys i was hoping someone could help me out. I'm not getting a gps lock on my phone. I have tried going back to stock, getting a gps lock and flashing different roms to see if that helps but nothing has worked. I know people usually get a lock after they flash back after going to a stock rom. any help would be appreciated.
i was having this issue as well could not get a lock for the life of me then i realized it was my house i took a drive and with in 5 minutes i had a lock.. maybe worth a shot maybe app on the market gps lock best of luck buddy

Get a navigation lock on the Verizon ROM. Then immediately boot into recovery and flash new ROM.

Let it sit then. Also try gps status from play. If it's showing that it should eventuality get a lock, then locks after the first will be much faster. Also, make sure you're outside trying to get the lock, much faster
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I'll give it a try and let you know. I have tried the gps status before on a non Verizon rom trying to get a lock but it never did and it was outside. Might have to stick to Verizon ROM. I hope not tho

I had an issue other day where it wouldn't lock. Pretty sure it had the satellites in view and connected to several but wouldn't get a fix.
Turns out changed a roaming setting and it locked.. Think it was the network type CDMA lte etc..
Edit: it was "network mode"

When you lock that way it is not using gps satellites and you will find out that your not even close to your proper location
