I have a rooted stock regular s4.
I didn't check the nfc before I rooted do I don't know if it worked before or not but now I can't use nfc tags at all, I haven't tried other phones because most of my friends are still stuck in pre-nfc devices.
It's the anything I can do to try and fix nfc?
Whenever I try to use, write or delete a tag it says tag not supported even though my old note 2 can use them just fine

Are the tags actually NFC compliant? I can't remember the the name of the standard, but non NFC compliant NFC tags do not work on the S4.

I guess you are right, I tried a friend's phone through sbeam and it worked, how do I buy the correct tags then

Look for NTAG203 labeled tags, those work.

Most likely because AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are all working together on their own payment system (ISIS). So, while wallet may be available on Nexus phones in the future, I wouldn't hold my breath for it to become widespread on other carrier modded phones.
So in the meantime does anyone use another NFC capable app for payments? I've seen a couple in the market but haven't tried anything other than installing wallet. Odd that they'd let me install it but then tell me it won't work..most apps seem to only download if they work on a particular phone.
nope Google wallet will die when iris is launched in a few months

Hey, I have the exact same problem. I have been trying different roms on my note for the past 2 days and its a no go on CM9, AOKP either. I have been trying to use NFC with my GF's stock ICS Note
Umm yea. NFC also known as (Near Field Communication) technology is built in to the phone battery. If u want to check it should say it right on the phone battery, our Galaxy Note don't come with the NFC battery unfortunately.

Umm our notes don't need a NFC battery man... The back plate has the NFC chip built on it. Galaxy Note i717 is the only Note with NFC.

I ran collective cp1 and now collective cp2 - on my i717 and nfc worked in both
Loving its functionality especially combing it with Tasker
by the way it first didn't work for me until i realized it was my leather case - the case replaced the original back panel and the original back panel had metal strips that served as the nfc antenna - the replacement case did not have these strips so my NFC did not work until i replaced the original back cover

Ok. Maybe a little more specific? The only time I even tried NFC was at a SGS3 display at a Costco. They have 3 little NFC tags that when you set the back of the Note over them, it launches the browser to a tutorial on the SGS3. Other than that that, I've found no other use as of yet.

Thanks. I ended up flashing a near stock ICS ROM to test NFC and it worked in that ROM. When I received my replacement Note I put DAGr8's latest AOKP on it right away. Now that I knew that NFC was working I re-downloaded the latest release AOKP release, Sep 28, and flashed it but NFC wasn't working. So I re-downloaded the last 2 versions of AOKP, Sep 19 & Sep 28,verified the MD5 and flashed them over each other in TWRP. That got NFC working in AOKP for whatever reason for me :silly:
Maybe someone could link to a pretty 9/11 cm10 nightly and then we could try a similar idea. I would try it

Okay. The other thing that I would try is doing a full wipe and fresh install of your ROM. If that doesn't work then I'm all out of ideas. This is the first I've heard of something like this. Aside from the Google wallet NFC issue. If that doesn't work, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

The S4 uses a different nfc chipset than older phones and may not be compatible with yours. I can't read any of my old nfc tags with my S4 that worked great with my Evo LTE.

Thank you so much! That's what I figured. It was either that or NFC problems vary from Rom to Rom.

That doesn't seem right. I know that the S4 isn't compatible with MIFARE tags, which the evo is. But both phones are compatible with the NTAG203 type tags. So that shouldn't matter.
If you want to test it, order some NTAG203 tags from somewhere like tagsfordroid.com and see if it works. Or see if someone has an S3 that you can compare it with.
Also, I just found this while trying to look up info about your problem. Apparently S-Beam, which is samsungs beaming program, interferes with android beam, which is what the evo uses.
The s4's have s-beam turned on by default, but they also have an option for android beam. So check with your friends and see if that is the case.
