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.

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).

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

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.
hy all,
as the title indicate i have a i-9100 and a 2000mah samsung battery with a nfc chip, does anobody knows how to enable NFC on ICS and why not....use android beam???
regards
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 everybody, razr has already been updated to ics. It seems nobody else talk about its nfc function. I wonder if moto has unlocked the nfc chip and added as a new function razr?
Can users who enjoy ics answer me?
Afaik, the RAZR doesn't have a nfc chip in it. Any nfc communication will take place using the Bluetooth module as bt 3/4 is c compatible with nfc.

You mean razr can only enjoy bluetooth 4.0 as the only nfc?
Hi guys,
Is it possible to port Grand Prime's rom (lollipop, not kitkat) to ours galaxy s3 (i9300)?
Sry for weak English
There are a few ROMs that are lollipop based. Try temasek or JustArchi's one on the ROM section. They work great.

No and it wont ever be. That is because Grand prime uses completely different SOC (Snapdragon 410) than our S3. (Exynos 4412) And probably also different proprietary chips like modem, GPS, wifi, audio dac, accelerometer, etc.
With Note 2 it was possible because they have similar internals (Same Exynos SOC) which is not the case here.

I know, but i'm looking for lollipop touchwiz. I know, it needs more than 1gb ram.

I would like to know how to get the FM radio working on a rooted Qualcomm S7 Edge, the sm-g9350, Hong Kong variant.
I've rooted on Aurora ROM from a chinese site, and it doesn't have what's needed for FM. I can't get OTA updates as knox is 0x1. I've poured over the AP7 T Mobile update that enabled FM for the USA S7 Edge Qualcomm variants. I've found some radio jar files, some lib files, but I'm at a loss as to how to get FM working.
How do I do this? It's the Qualcomm msm8996 chip, which runs on some other devices that have fm.
Can someone with knowledge on this please work with me or help me in getting this working?
Just because it has the same chip doesn't mean it has the radio antenna or chip for it. You might want to find out if the hardware is even there first.
My s5 mini duos has same.

I've Googled and found it should have fm. How can i verify it? It is the same S7 Qualcomm sd820 as US variants, and they have fm enabled, as of a recent firmware update. Hong kong hasn't released this update, so I want to know where in the firmware I need to look.

The hardware is there. It's a replica of the US variants.

I don't know about this specific phone, but "the hardware is there" may not necessarily be accurate. The phone may have say a wifi module with integrated bluetooth and fm-radio, BUT for some of these functions, discrete components are required. Like say a few resistors, capacitors and stuff. So it is possible they have omitted that in the design and simply disabled that functionality.
