I just tried using Android Beam on two Skyrockets running FL6 with Stock batteries. Unfortunately, it didn't work. In addition, I don't have access to an NFC Tag to test it. Has anyone experienced issues with NFC on the stock build of ICS?
It should work, make sure its set to on on both devices via settings>more>NFC.
NFC is turned off by default.
NFC and Android Beam are enabled on both devices, it just seems like neither one is detecting anything. Does anyone know of an NFC tester that can detect if two devices are in Beam range?
open browser on one, remove cases and hold them together in a cross shape, the beam function should pop up by then.

Being "in Beam range" shouldn't be a problem, because it's designed to work when the devices are touching back-to-back and not much farther than that. If NFC is enabled on both devices and they are properly situated back-to-back and it's still not working, you may have a bad battery or a ROM issue.
Oh ye I forgot to mention you must have stock battery, most replacement batteries don't have the antenna for NFC.
Thanks to aycockonxion for reminding me this fact.
Both have stock batteries - I made sure of this because I was aware of the NFC antenna inside them.
Has anyone actually TESTED it and confirms it sends data between two entirely stock FL6 Skyrockets?

I tested it with my Skyrocket while using CyanogenMod 9 and a coworker's Galaxy S3. When he would beam an image my phone would only show tag data. When I beamed a YouTube video it worked appropriately. I think there is some incompatibility between the S3 stock ROM and CyanogenMod.
I'm not talking about an S3 and a Skyrocket running CM9. I'm talking about two skyrockets running the stock ROM.
PS: The S3 uses NFC to establish a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi direct connection - it wouldn't work over Android Beam between an S3 and a non-S3 anyways.

When I run the stock ICS ATT ROM, my NFC works great. I have read tags, erased them, and written to them. Don't know of anyone else with NFC capabilities so I haven't tried the beam. Now if I could just get NFC to work in CM9.1

See, I have the exact inverse of that situation. I have two Skyrockets to test Android Beam on (unsuccessfully), but no NFC tags available for me to test.
Just buy a few tags its really cheap. Also probably 1 of your cards have NFC chip in them credit card or bus card, if NFC is working on the phone you should hear a sound while placing it near the back of an unlocked phone.

Again, I have no NFC tags or any method of buying them. And my (parents') credit cards are all non-NFC. I know NFC was originally made as an extension to RFID, would those be readable?
I tried to read a store RFID and it was a no go.
I'm guessing you have no credit card or paypal? If you do you can order a tag for less than a dollar.

It's entirely possible and the API spells it out fairly simply. However, there don't appear to be any apps at the moment to take advantage of it. I'd throw something together but I only have one phone to test with, so it would literally be impossible to impersonate both roles in the exchange.
has anyone used a dual sim adapter ?
which one? does it work on android?
which one have u tested ?? post link to seller only if u have bought a working one for android phone
thanx
Yep I have. Got one in my galaxy s2. The 28th gen PlUS no-cut version from www.magic-sim.com
Hope this helps mate

Is there also a adapter where both sim cards work at the same time?
Yea I can also vouch for www.magic-sim.com
I got one for my Samsung galaxy s2 and it works well

One of the FAQs:
12. Can both SIM cards receive calls at the same time?
As mobile phones are currently only built with one transmitter and receiver, it isn’t possible to have both SIMs active at the same time. However, our ‘autoswitch’ function enables you to switch between your two SIMs at a timed interval, to notify you if you’ve missed a call, received a message, etc.
So the answer is no
The only samsung phone i know that can do this is [email protected] 222

The website says it fits but I don't trust them. I can't see how it would physically fit in a Galaxy S as the sim card slot facing the wrong way, in which it would mean the adapter orientated on the long side across and this is wider than the phones width.
Unless anyone can send a picture of their galaxy s (not II) with the magic sim fitted successfully and working I don't want to chance it. I even tried looking at market stalls that used to sell twin sim adapters in the hope I could see if one physically fitted, but they say they don't sell them anymore. Either they don't work on 3G or they have no market for them now is what they said.
£18 is a lot of money to throw if it doesn't fit/work.
Well my girlfriend has a standard galaxy S so I can check it on there for you if I get chance. Not sure I can be bothered to take pictures etc but I'm happy to confirm weather it fits and works or not.

Is it possible to autoupdate SMSC
Hi!
I have the magic sim adaptor and it works very good but I have one issue:
When I change the SIM the SMSC (message center phone number) isn't changed.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
The APN settings change automatically so I don't understand why the SMSC couldn't do the same.
maybe we have to wait... The Beginning is just been made....
idk y people buy such a bull****...where is the problem to have 2 phones with you (maybe one smartphone to surf & one just for call/sms)? best solution ever

Currently running a extended battery and the Sky ICS rom 4.2 I have enabled the NFC and nothing happens. Is there any possibility my NFC chip could be not working?
Use the Q&A forum next time please, this thread will probably be moved there sooner or later.
How are you checking if NFC is working? It's working fine for me.

I apologize for not posting in the correct forum.
Im enabling the NFC under the Wireless and Networks menu. Android Beam says ready to transmit app content. I would basically have my phone touching another skyrocket and nothing happens. Is there another way to check it ?
If you can get a NFC tag you could test it. Also make sure both phones have OEM batteries, most bought batteries don't have the NFC antenna in them so NFC wont work.
And make sure android beam is enabled on both devices.

Didn't even realize the stock battery was that important lol. Gonna try to do it tomorrow with the stock battery.
I've turned on the NFC in my OPO but it cannot detect any of my NFC tags. NFC does nothing at all when I try to read a tag. In my Galaxy Nexus the same targ works fine.
Is it an old Samsung tectile tag? My NFC is working fine.
Sent from my TouchPad using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Also no NFC (almost) here.
My apartment, work badge, and Octopus cards all register immediately on my HTC One M7, but none of them get anything in contact with my OPO.
I did get some kind of reaction when bringing my M7 and OPO together, tho...
Edit: I'm running a Chinese OPO with CM11s flashed on, with the modded radio flashed over that.

NFC on my OPO isn't working with my tags at all. Doesn't recognise the tags, or any other phone wtih NFC.. The tags where working fine with my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5.
NFC is turned on.
What am i doing wrong? Or is the Oneplus not compatible with some tags?
My OPO is running on original CM11S. Not rooted or bootloader unlocked.
Anyone else having this problem and is there a solution?

same problem here, no NFC, Cyanogen problem ? hardware ?
ok, someone has to answer what tags they are trying to read. some samsung and lg tags and others are only compatible with samsung an lg and sony or whatever phones. it also wont read rfid tags. its not a software problem because i have the exact same software and my phone reads nfc tags just fine. you need to provide more information to diagnose a problem.

I rebooted the phone and NFC is working now with other phones. It's also working with original Sony Xperia tags! Does anyone knows what kind of tags Sony is using?
It doesn't work with other tags I was using with my Nexus 5. I believe those where Mifare classic (1k) tags. But I don't know that for sure..

Hi guys, i'm coming from the Moto 360 Sport, and interested in getting the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, simple because Moto crippled it after the AW 2.0 upgrade, ridiculously slow to use now.
With the Moto 360 Sport, it did have a display feature called "AnyLight ", that displays in 'any light' and i loved that.
Motorola accomplishes it by combining a traditional backlit LCD in "transmissive" display with reflective backing. Or something like that.
Anyway, I really like this feature, see screens attached.
I was wondering what the Huawei Watch 2 Sport/Classic screens look like in dim/ambient mode. Does it have this idea?
Anyone care to share some photo of this, as I've read/watched so many reviews, but cannot see what this looks like.
Thanks a lot.
Darren.
Hw2 is amoled so in ambient modes is uses much much less battery because of the black pixels being off, but this feature that you're talking about is not available in hw2, however the watch display is very sharp and shiny even in direct sun light.
also be aware that amoled screens get damaged (burn-in issue) if a pixel is on a particular color for a long time, meaning that for example on ambient mode there are numbers around the screen that are always on, this may cause those numbers to burn in the screen so even when you are in a completely different screen, you will still see those numbers! (for more info google Burn-in)
Just adding to what was already said regarding burn in. Most watch face makers that support ambient move include a feature which shifts the pixels around ever so slightly to prevent burn in. A very simple yet elegant solution to the problem.

yeah if that's as you said it would be great, I havent noticed it yet
So I just found something interesting. Under developer options > Wear Developer options there is a "force anti burn" setting. Set this up now to give it a try.

hi seems like relevant topic for my question.
are there many disadvantages to get the wifi only (non 4G) of this huawei watch 2? (i get the obvious i cant put sim card and get direct internet connection of course). for example:
will the NFC still works on the non 4G model?
how about the xda community ie root twrp and custom rom? less or more than global version?
any other important things i need to know when deciding to get wifi only or 4G?
thank you.

ah, so GPS is independent on the 4G versus assisted ie need to be connected to phone for the wifi only.
i can live with that. i dont run alot yeah lazy me.
anything else? NFC and the custom roms are interchangeable?

No, GPS independent.
Live tracking = data connection for mapping run location remotely.

sorry got it mixed up. before, i thought GPS live tracking need constant internet connection and you dont want to carry your phone while jogging.
ok got it now.
also by googling i think NFC works on both model but ofcourse the wifi model will need to be connected to phone to be able to use NFC android pay for example, i assumed
