Hi all,
My friend bought an Galaxy S3 3 days ago... yesterday, he got an update through the kies (4.1.2 XXELLA). When he tries NFC, it doesn't work. We are taping our phones but they aren't reacting!!!
Is this an firmware issue or hardwere issue?! how can i test the NFC chip like we test other sensors by pressing *#0*# ?!
Regards,

I use nfc all the time. Me and my mate share music etc he has galaxy s3 running lldj4 and im running ell4.. sometimes it will ask to activate sbeam.. think u need to have nfc amd sbeam both swiched on.

I concur. Please search. However, that is the GPS icon/location reticle - you have checked one of the location services in Settings.

I did search actually... didn't know enough about the icon to even search properly for it. I've had android phones for 3 years now and I've NEVER seen that one. I've also turned off all of the location services in settings and the icon remains.
thanks
sorry i posted this in the wrong forum... would move it if i could

Had a similar problem with my galaxy tab 2 10.1
:crying:
I used a program from the play store - FXR WiFi fix and rescue by Brilliapps
I also changed my router channel to auto.
Good Luck:good:
Mine happened to have issues too. Could be your network provider router settings. Just a quick Google could help you put the right settings

My s3 doesn't keep settings after a restart and basically has never been 100% at it. Eg. Ring tones will revert to default, default application settings get forgotten. Phone has been rooted before but actually isn't right now.
Running 4.1.2
I have done a factory data reset.
Any thoughts?

Thoughts are one post in the correct forum and two return phone to vendor as faulty .

Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really? The s3 q&a and troubleshooting forum is the wrong forum?
Since the phone has been rooted im hesitant to send it back. Its actually also had the screen replaced.
Still hopeful someone has better advice than tell me im posting in the wrong forum. This place used to be friendlier than this im sure.
Just saw the link for the lte specific forum. Will repost there.

Not if you have I9300 yes its wrong if you have I9305 really .
Btw, what forum would be a better place for me troubleshooting question?
The I9305 forum Q&A logically .
You had two bits of advice ignore them both or not .

Thanks for the advice. Already took one of them... other one; not sure how my warranty would hold up with being rooted and a screen replaced... sad face.
Considering a cyanogen or perhaps liquidsmooth rom that I've just seen a bit about.
My concern is that even a new rom doesn't wipe or refresh all the parts where things like default settings might be kept during a restart. So hoping some advice comes through in that regard perhaps.. but not in this forum.

Closing this thread as it was posted in the wrong place. The new thread is here in the I9305 Q&A section.
I have been waiting for the s band for a long time and it still hasn't come out should I just forget about it and opt-out for the galaxy gear? I need the best one wrist band for health and just curious does the galaxy gear have all the sensors that the s band has built into it? I know its also a smart watch but there's health apps for it so will they give m the best accurate data or what should I do? Can it read my heart beat? Does it have a pedometer? Can it measure my calorie reduction? Can it monitor my sleep? Does it have all these sensors like the s band?
