I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I couldn't help notice the "Near Field Communication" on my SR's battery. Any word if it will work when we move to 4.0?

Really?
Why would it not work. Why would be take a step backwards?
Looking forward to Google Wallet, which we don't have yet as far as I know. Is that coming in 4.0 is what I meant.

I haven't seen mention of this anywhere but how does one enable NFC in the skyrocket? is it something that can be done or do we have to wait for AT&T/Samsung?
Even though the process is running, I don't think it's "enabled" cause when I installed Paypal, there is no option to use it.
I'd be soooooo p---ed if Google Wallet isn't supported in the near future.
Custom roms will allow this. Like the cm7 rom. It has a way to enable/disable nfc in menu settings wireless and networks

Videotron just released their 3G network in Quebec and it appears as if they'll have an Illico app that goes with their smartphones.
If anyone gets the N1 from them, PLEASE rip the app.
Thanks!
are you sure videotron are offering the N1?
Or did you mean if anyone is going to use their N1 on Videotron's network?

That also depends on how many services you have with them. It's that price if you have all 3 services, $42.50 if you have 2 services and so on.
Still waiting for someone to rip this!

I doubt they will allow access from outside their own network to use it.
If you need to access to your ilico or any other source on your system use a slingbox.
you can get one for under 300$ and listen to any tv show on the road (if you have a good data plan) their app is great as well! and no monthly fee..
P.s. if you check future shop they are way too expensive...

Saw this article about the Tbolt getting Gingerbread in q2. Looks like there is an nfc chip inside the Tbolt? Very exciting either way.

There has been some talk that there are some contacts in the phone that aren't used for anything; suspecting it's for NFC. But don't think that's the case. If it is though, that would be a very welcomed feature.
Some people say that the support person just got a generic GB feature list....don't get your hopes up for NFC
If the launch of the Thunderbolt has taught us anything, it's that support has little to no real information.
There's a possibility that we'll see NFC support ... but I'd rate it as a very, very unlikely possibility. I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yea. When you look at the list, you can tell they did a simple 'copy and paste'. lol.
But yea, NFC is not something to expect. Not even HTC's newest EVO 3D has NFC, so it'll be a while before they start using it.
whats the point of releasing a phone with NFC when NFC is still only in trial markets. I dk about you, but the last time I checked, I can't use NFC anywhere I go.

Sorry, are you saying that phone manufacturers should not include a feature that hasn't been mass adopted yet? That's quite nonsensical. How does a feature become useful or desired if it's not available to be used.
That said, my TBolt is coming today. I'm not particularly happy about the fact that the Incredible 2 may be global and coming out in a month, but I'm still excited for my TB.
Why is anyone suprised to be getting 2.3 in q2? Dosnt seem like news to me.

A lot of people are signing 2 year contracts and will ride it out for the contract. It's not unreasonable at all to think NFC could be popping up within the time period of their contract and it being useful to have on the TBolt.

If 2.3 comes out and we are running rooted roms/custom kernels will we have to re-root our phones or will the devs just release new roms/kernels that can be flashed in CWR?
I read quite a bit about NFC and it seems that all phones in the Japanese market are using them and it is being used to read all kinds of information in Japan. The average user there is using it for everything from transit fees to market purchasing simply using their phones.

So today I left my captivate in a Cab....and definitely will not be able to get it back I flashed a custom rom and forgot to reload Lookout Security or some service to track my phone, so no luck there...
Question: What should I do now. I definetly need to buy another smartphone, but the question is...which one? Should I wait for something like the Galaxy S2? (Could still be a ways from launch). I live in Canada and I am on Rogers. Should I just pick up another Captivate? Your thoughts/Suggestions.
PS: Does the bell Samsung Vibrant if unlocked work with 3g for rogers?

Now, remember Plan B and use it the next time you lose the phone. It works. I didn't lose my phone, but I tried it out. GPS reception in my home is poor, so it showed the phone in the wrong room, but certainly in the correct house, close enough. It's not something you want to leave on your phone, because it sends a constant stream of text messages to your email with the location of the phone, but if you lose the phone, it will show you where it is, assuming any GPS signal can be received and it has network access.
haha, nice! if that happened to manila, goodluck! itll be sold to others right away

My Asus transformer was stolen today. Is there any app or way I can track it?

not unless you're really lucky.
i'm not sure, but if you get yourself another android device, active latitude to display your location, i wonder if it would cause latitude on your tab (if you even have it) to start displaying it's location.
of course, this wholy depends on your tab having google latitude (included with google maps?), have gps access, and the theif haven't done a factory reset.
I don't need a signature.

you can install apps to your devices straight from the market on a web browser, however, i think you still have a confirmation prompt ( not too sure)
no there is no confirmation, but the thief will ge prompted that certain program has been installed.
sorry to disappoint you but honestly I would say the hope is slim... a factory reset will wipe out all the trails..
Slim ...But there is hope. The thief may not even know how to turn it on. Or it may be missplaced somewhere unattended.

plan b sends out the first one without prompting, so it's worth a shot. You only need to text it if you are pinging it more than once.
So far nothing. Tried Plan B, but maybe the thief hasn't turned it on and hooked it up to wifi. I'm hoping they or the person they sell it to does before the juice runs out of it. The morons didn't take the power supply!

Hey gurus,
how does this work, do u install it to the transformer after its stolen from the market, and then it will send u a mail as soon as it sees (connects) to a Wi-Fi network?
Thanx for the help!

Wallet problem
Greetings everyone!
A little background first. Verizon SGS3, rooted and unlocked, but still on stock TW.
I completed the steps in the above mentioned thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083, and everything seems to be working ok. I have made a few purchases and it works, however I am thinking something is wrong.
Let me explain. When I go to make a purchase, it will make the POS machine flash/beep, etc., but then shows on my screen that the trans. may not be good/complete. The cashier continues the sale like normal, the receipt prints and all is good, but it just takes a min standing in line to make sure that all is well. Then after a while, the trans will show up in Wallet (on the phone) in the list.
Is this normal for you all?
Second thing is that I can't see my Google PrePay card in the online Wallet page. I can see the other cards that I have added in both places, phone and online, but I can't manage the new card that was given when I signed up. Therefore, I am stuck adding funds on the phone.
Should I do a reset? Will this lose the $ that I have added to the PrePay card, or will it magically pick it back up when I re-setup Wallet on the phone? I have read that I need to write down the card number (user ID) in case you need it, and I assume that this is one of those times.
Any ideas?
TIA for the help.
I'm not seeing it either unfortunately. I was just getting ready to try the workaround & then saw your post. Oh well, guess I'll still try the workaround.
Is it possibly just a regional thing? I read somewhere that they were getting ready to roll out ISIS in a couple of markets soon - is it possible that they unblocked Wallet in those markets to avoid the 'how do you justify blocking wallet as a security concern if you're now allowing ISIS' question?
Dunno.
