Can anyone with an NFC enabled SGS II pm me please. I have an app (NFC Task Launcher) that I would love for someone to test on this phone, but I know no one who has one
There is a free version you can test with ( and use if you want). Ideally you need a few NFC tags to test with. See the thread in the Nexus S forum or on the market for a demo video and more info.
Thanks.

The NFC S2 hasn't been released to any markets to my knowledge. I also haven't seen any users around here who have one.

I have a NFC GS2. Will try it, but it seems that the NFC framework isn't handled correctly until Android 2.3.7 (Nexus S), and most AOSP & custom are either NFC free, or 2.3.5.
Edit : Yeah, i believe your app is supposed to pop up over a tag, and the only app "allowed" to read tags is the NXP custom app my operator (Orange France) made.
It may be that P2P NFC isn't yet enabled : The new Maps 5.1.1 NFC doesn't work either, neither do "File expert" (one of the only NFC software)
can some1 tell me that how to know our device have NFC on our sgs II?

Then no, you don't have an NFC enabled version. It lacks the hardware NFC chip.
Model GT-I9100P is the version of the I9100 that DOES have NFC.

Now that the SGS II is available in KSA, it's still not arabized, any idea when they'll release an update for that?
Another thing; since it's available in English version, does it have the hubs (game and music)???
Thanx in advance...
Officially available from samsung dealer?? because if its officially from samsung dealer it should support arabic.
I've been told that it's sold in carrefour and hyper, dunno if it's available in samsung stores yet!

sure it will work if it's an international version but not sure if it's locked on a certain carrier like O2 or orange, and yes there are free wifis in mecca in some places but not sure about medina.

I bought SGS2 from starlink in doha, qatar..i was told if i wanted arabic..i must go to samsung service centre to get the rom uploaded. I did not bother to go becoz iam already using madmack's arabic fix which is sufficient for me.

Is it working well? Any drawbacks? Is it worth the rooting, coz i don't want to root now...
Thanx in advance
I love this phone!!
I got the phone 2 days ago
All i have to say is that i adoooooore this magnificent device!
Stock rom is perfect, updated the cam firmware and working good now. No hardware issues as mentioned by other users, maybe i'm lucky
The hubs are in there but music hub is not supported in the country.
Doesn't have the arabic support, dunno if i should root to enable it thru Madmack's fix or wait for the original stock update.
Overall, best phone i ever owned!!

No, becuase cutoms roms do not have support for NFC.
You will need to wait or search other forums for custom roms with NFC support as most SII on this forum do have NFC available yet.
OP You could of course be a guinea pig and test for us .

there are 2 types of sgs2, one comes with NFC chip and battery antenna working the other I believe is missing the battery antenna but has the chip deactivated.
Are normal galaxy S2 roms compatible with the NFC version?
I wont mind losing the nfc feature.
You can use any I9100 rom on the I9100p you just lose NFC

Actually, sorry to correct you; but if he doesn't mind losing NFC, then yes, i9100 ROMs will work on his i9100P.
should be compatible, but you may loose the NFC feature
Ive got a phone hat has exact same hardware as s3. Its basicly s3 with stock android. My phone carrier is the manufacturer, im not from murica so yeah not verizon and and ****. i wanna know if i can use costum s3 roms on my device. sry for bad english x.x
TY
If you don't have a Samsung i9300 then no, S3 rom will not work on your phone. This isn't a forum for clones so nothing here will work, instead may brick it.
