NFC microSD...turn MT4G into NFC device - myTouch 4G General

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/01/netcom-shows-off-microsd-card-with-integrated-nfc-goodness-vide/
There's hope yet that we can turn our MT4G into NFC device. However, I do have Nexus S too, but day-to-day I love my MT4G with RoyalGinger 2.1. Great ROM, fabulous battery life.

To be honest by the time nfc becomes widely useful in our daily lives, I would have switched to the mytouch 6g or Htc "insert feeling here"...lol

What does metallic slot change? magnetism or interference?

I dunno. It just says in the article that it will only work with plastic slots.

It also says that the back can't be metal. which ours is as well

Good to see they are working on it...seems that GSM carriers could build this technology into the sim card itself.
I have seen quite a few people at work who put the small paypass key tags on the back of their phones, then cover it with a TPU case and use their phones as a payment device that way.

After having a g1 for 22 months and finding this mt4g on craigslist for a damn near steal.. i can honestly say i dont really miss the keyboard anymore. I prefer a larger display screen so i can actually read the text without having to blow up the screen more times then i would like to remember for the g1. If they ever decide to make a 4.3 inch qwerty slider phone i might think twice but for now i'm content with touchscreen typing. It's not so bad with some settings turned off like auto correct and auto capitalize that more times then not actually mess up what im trying to type(****in annoying as hell).

[Q] external battery case

Does anyone know of an external battery case coming out or already out like the Mophie for the iphone? I know Tmobile sometimes sells them in select markets for select phones ( I had one for the HD2, HD7 and mytouch 4g all bought from Tmobile). Has anyone seen or heard of one for the Sensation?
Are you talking about one like this http://t.co/3ZNgYKZ

The tumor is actually where the case plugs into your phone's microusb. I agree it's ugly and they should think of another way

Where can i find this part. And Welcome (me)this douche back

I sold my g2x after i got my sgs 2. I have since purchased and rooted a gajillion fones to see what i like and to sell.
Among this phones are htc sensation x3, hd2 x5, sgs vibrant x5, moto defy x3, g2 x5, htc radar, htc glacier
The phone that xonsistantly walks all of these devices including my sgs2 was my g2x.
What i did. Purchased a moar den fubar g2x. All that was left was the main boahrd and camera. I purchased a digitizer and screen and put this thing back to gether just to make it up to the g2x and show it i was sorry for abandonin it and shiet.
The phone is workinh and i dont have screen blled issues at all. The whites are brighter then my sgs 2 #;&%'n shiet. Internetz loahdz faster &*%#'N SHIEEET.
All im missing is the little grill that sits a top the microphone.
I have searched all over for this lil shiet pieces.

HTC One S with NFC ?

Check this Video out !
What do you think ?
Looks pretty real to me, didn't know it had disabled nfc
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
highly doubt it's real since if it's there, HTC should've advertise it so they will get more praise for it.
What about the Samsung s2? That has NFC but not in the software.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Probably not. NFC can't get through the metal back cover. Since it can't, I doubt HTC put any NFC chips in the device.

That's why the top and bottom covers are plastic. NFC could get out, just like wifi and cell does.
Why would they put NFC in the device and not advertise it ? They know what they put into the phone as much as id like it to be real it must be fake
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Be nice if this is true. Not too bothered about it now though as NFC isn't really a big feature here in the UK (yet.....) and can't see it being that popular/"the norm" for at least another year.
It has happened in other phones as well i.e. my last android phone, the Samsung galaxy spica i5700, it had a FM radio chip and also multi-touch, both weren't enabled with stock samsung software and weren't advertised at all or listed in the specs. either, thankfully, one great developer got the multi-touch working superbly.

I have build an NFC Chip into my Computer to test the possibilities of NFC with my One X. So I thought, could it be that the One S also has an NFC Chip but disabled it so that the One X has an benefit against his little brother. Than I tried to port the NFC Drivers from the One X to the S and it works very well, but you can't disable it and there is no Android Beam yet. I try to cook an NFC enabled, RUU based Rom with working Android Beam. Download Link: Is coming soon!

Yup David111jr did have this up a few days ago....but the title of his thread didnt help to entice people to read :silly: When i showed this to a few other people, it was mentioned that it might be the cleaver use of Chrome to Phone. It would be awesome if it turned out to be true, but since people like to play nice tricks like this, we will have to wait and see. As for Leedroid, looking through his thread it looks like he might be busy with home things (after all awesome devs have home lives too ) . Hopefully a dev can either debunk or reproduce it. I will keep my fingers crossed for sure!!
Chrome to phone for sure. I call shenannigans.

I want to get a new phone, I curently have Inspire.

Hello dudes, I wanna say that I LOVE my phone, but in the same I think it's time for an upgrade so I am "hunting" for a new phone, and I have no clue what to get! I want an upgraded inspire lol...hehe Inspire 2nd gen but...it is not possible. So I am asking u guys: What should I get!? I am am outside of US, so I cannot get a contract with any carrier, that why I have to use ebay...but like I said...dno what to get!!! Any ideas!!?!?!?!
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
There is a thread for this very issue. My question would be what about the Inspire do you think needs to upgraded? Faster processor, bigger screen, better camera?
For my next device, I want a faster processor, more ram, more storage, a front facing camera and a bigger screen without giving up anything that the Inspire provides. I haven't found it yet. I like the sexy heavy duty construction, this phone makes Samsungs feel like toys. The HOX has a higher end feel than the Sammies, but has no sd slot. Not interested in iOS or Windows. I have high hopes for the next round of Nexus devices but have to wait until there is more than just rumor to know if that's where I go next.
It's going to be about what you need, want and can afford. Without know more about that, I cannot make a recommendation.
Now I'm in a Pickle

I was loyal to Nokia before smartphones , even up to my windows 6. Then it became a few rounds of HTC. alas, I think I'm moving to Samsung in a month for the Note 2. It's super sexy in so many ways.
My 2 cents.

They are doing a quad core version of the one x that looks pretty nice. Still no expandable storage or removable battery though. The sgs3 looks pretty cool too. Users are happy with that one.
