Hi guys,
Yesterday I was thinking about how to enable the NFC sgs2 not have this technology, so I thought that using bluetooth or wifi direct you might also enable nfc
Android is not a developer so I need someone who can create a program that "hijack"the signals that are transmitted via the nfc nfc chip to an external device via bluetooth or wifi direct, then I did this I will create a hardware device composed of the NFC chip and a receiver / transmitter bluetooth or wifi direct to hide behind the battery, you will be able to receive the signal and then sending it to the NFC chip.
Does anyone know how to help me?, I am completely new in the Android paronama.
I think nfc is a magnetic signal, very different from BT, or wifi, so I think this idea would take a whole notha level of brilliance to actual make happen

It should be possible in the future to use NFC with an SD-Card that has NFC integrated. I think a diy is fun, but possible more expensive due to your bt solution.
are we sure nfc is not inside first sgs2 ? how to check ? Maybe it can be activated in few times.....
NFC is very similar to wifi, and also by bluetooth it to communicate using a wireless frequency.
however, what is the story of the NFC in the sd card?
I really don't think its worth the effort involved. Reminds me of someone I know who spent thousands trying to make his bmw 318 into an m3. When he finished, it looked ****e, didn't work properly and could have bought an actual M3 with the money he spent. Sorry to put a downer on this.
There is no NFC in the Sgs2. Als new Sgs2 has been announced with tiny improvements and NFC os included.

You would be better with SIM based NFC tbh... You can't just randomly say "let's use wifi/bluetooth instead of NFC, as they both work on radio waves of some sort"
I still want to use the wifi / bluetooth nfc only to transfer the signal to an external hardware that transmits, via the receiver wifi / bluetooth, nfc signal to a transmitter.
the idea and the hardware is easy to do, but the software ... I do not know, but I think it's tough.
at least someone can tell me of the nfc in the SD card?
Just buy an nfc enabled phone if you want it that badly. Trust me, trying to do a DIY job will bea waste of your time and money and will all end in tears. LOL.
i'm not sure if it's asking this'd be dumb but how would i understand if i got nfc şn my phone? i bought my sgs2 yesterday but it's still grey market here in Turkey so i can't be sure if i got nfc or not..
NFC sticker can make SGS2 NFC enabled..

Wow, it's amazing how many people post without reading the first post where OP clearly states he wants to create a device that reads NFC and then transmits it to the phone via bluetooth or wifi :

Also, using an NFC sticker is not the same : It will enable you to use your phone as a payment or transport card, but it won't allow your phone to actually READ NFC tags and display some information, nor REWRITE NFC tags.
Anyway, I think it's a good idea but probably not worth your time and money with NFC enabled Galaxy S2 coming in a few weeks or months. Besides, even if my SGS2 doesn't have NFC, I'll probably have a new phone in 18 months or so when NFC becomes really useful.

Agreed here. Surely the most used function of NFC will be for payments until other phones catch up, and this is accomplished by a sticker anyway?
I'm all for modding and hacking, obviously, but I feel that it may just be needless in this case...
What about /dev/pn544?
Just a thought

Hehehe.
Anyone got the userspace nfc stuff, either from korean model, or the nexus s? That chip is the same as in the N S
not every model have the NFC chip on them samsung did say that some already do have it and they just need a software upgrade to enable it but i know none of the UK models have a NFC chip. Samsung also said that the one with it are slightly thicker phones than the ones with out it...
microsd nfc cards
Didn't someone mention here that Samsung had stated NFC was on the battery in enabled models.
Could it be one of the options here http://smartsim.info/products.html
Item 2 - special battery combined with carrier provided sim could mean even reader mode is possible retrospectively for a fairly nominal charge
At least for normal batteries. I now have 2 std 1650 batteries, a mugen 3200 and eyes on the new 2000 mAh options . Yikes.
Great News for the normal SGS 2 Users.
Wondering if this could be useful in getting Google Wallet working on our phones. They seem to have gotten it working on the Galaxy Nexus.

As I understand it, our phone is missing some necessary libraries (fixable problem), and we don't have the correct keys to access the secure element, which is needed to use the NFC chip in card emulation mode (near-unfixable problem for the time being).
I'm actually surprised the GNex didn't have it stock from the get-go.
Basically, unless it's an officially supported AOSP device with an NFC chip, the odds are not good.
If I use a special NFC enabled microSD card with my RedNote 4, will it have NFC?
Will it help to install Cyanogenmod/Lineage OS?
Has anyone tried this?
Did not realize this phone would lack such a basic feature like NFC. I need NFC to get to work. Would hate to have to use my old Samsung Galaxy S3 for this and carry two phones around, like an idiot.
Regarding the SD card, I'm thinking of somethin like this: Professional-MicroSDHC-Hi-Speed-Lossless-Certified on amazon. (can't post link, as I'm a new user)
As the sd card ist installed in the sim card tray, maybe the NFC would be negatively affected by the aluminium?
I think it's not possible to get NFC on this device. Like you already said the aluminum body would interfere with the signal of NFC. To my knoledge there are no external NFC devices for OTG use. NFC enabled SD-Cards are additionally readable by NFC but dont act as NFC device for Android.
Side note: the Kernel of the Redmi Note 4 would need to support NFC wich it doesn't
Sorry

Doesn't LineageOS/Cyanogenmod provide a better Kernel?

Yes a custom ROM would supply it's own kernel but the developer of this ROM would probably not include NFC drivers because the device doesn't have NFC. You would need to build your own kernel for your device and aside from that you would still be in the need of an external NFC device.
NFC is kind of a hardware so phone won't be NFC enabled whatsoever.
Hi all, as we know the Tab7+5G has no NFC (Near Field Communication) hardware or software/firmware installed
by Samsung, while I know this is not a mobile phone it has everything else that a mobile phone can do, so
I don't understand why Samsung would leave off such a cheap production add on, maybe something to do
with their flat magnetic Keyboard/Cover installation to the back of S7 Tablet?
Anyway, for the expert members (I have looked around and googled) is there anyway I can
install an aftermarket removable NFC Dongle into USB C port and perhaps run an appropriate
App to activate so I can get working NFC on this S7 Tablet, or is it impossible or non-existent.
Thanks from this old guy, sorry to ask such a question but I cant find clear answers.
Yes, it's true, this tab lacks NFC. When I bought it, I just assumed that it had it, and was surprised that it doesn't.
It also doesn't have a proximity sensor, which is more important to me, but not a deal breaker.
Another thing that really ****ing peeves me is that you can't get the 256/500GB variant's if you also want LTE/5g. For some retarded reason, they restricted the carrier versions to 128gb only. Why can't I have 500GB AND 5g compatibility in the same tab? The WiFi only/carrier version's of the Tab S7+ are exactly the same size, there's no technical reason why the carrier versions can't have the larger sizes too.
Who are we lowly users to question the design decisions of Samsung?

NFC on the Huawei Mate 10 Lite ....Is this a hardware or software consideration? From what I've figured out, its not officially supported. Is there a software update that can make this possible or its a hardware shortcoming?

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use NFC on your device, if it not NFC enabled.
NFC: Near Field Communication.
How it works: It's a method of wireless data transfer that detects and then enables technology in close proximity to communicate without the need for an internet connection. It's easy, fast and works automatically.
The tech involved is deceptively simple.Evolved from radio frequency identification (RFID) tech, an NFC chip operates as one part of a wireless link. Once it's activated by another chip, small amounts of data between the two devices can be transferred when held a few centimeters from each other.
Hence, you need NFC chip on both the devices to enable data transfer or anything else.
Thanks for confirming.
