NFC issues - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

i had NFC working on stock rooted, then flashed cm10 and it still worked, i switched to jellywiz and wanted to go back to cm10 and reset google wallet just to make sure it was reset and now when i go into my nfc settings, it's grayed out, anyone have any ideas on what to do? i tried enabling nfc before flashing back to cm10 like another thread had suggested and it didn't work

Check this thread out. I posted a file that may help

Also, someone said if you flash a touchwiz rom and enable nfc, then factory reset, you can then flash aosp and nfc will work.

edit: ok soooooo yeah idk wtf is going on, but i checked my devices on the google wallet website and it shows that my device has been disabled, i go into google wallet after using the hack to get it working (used the d2spr hack and not a modified apk hack) and it tells me that my keys aren't released.....i'm confused as wtf is going on haha
edit 2: ok so apparently the wallet hacks that i had been using didn't have the right libs in it for nfc, i used the 10/10 hack that came out today and it worked......fml why does this have to happen after i post my problem just hours prior? haha
thanks for offering your help though maniac, its much appreciated bro

problem with google wallet - insufficient privileges

So I had google wallet working properly using the fix on an earlier release of CM7 Nightly and then I tried the ICS Port for a few weeks. Well I came back to CM7 nightlies and before doing so i did a clean wipe and format and now when I try to install google wallet I get an error that says "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (test-keys). Please contact Google Support" By accident I pressed the search key and the window disappeared and it seemed like it let me go through the process of setting up google wallet. I even received an email from google confirming it. However, it doesn't load the $10 so there's no way of telling if it would still work given the error. Is there a simple fix to this? I tried removing it and re-installing the fix to no avail. I'm a n00b if you couldn't tell already.
Had the same issue earlier and now wallet just sits there and syncs first time this has done this. Using Petes Kernel and Bugless Beast rom which Ive flashed a few times before now
I'm having the same problems, so what I am doing is unrooting then reroot and see if the problem had to do with 4.0 I'll let y'all know my status in about 30 minutes.
** UnRooted, reRooted, and flashed over cm7 again and no fix..
***** Now I am completely unrooted and fully updated and still GW doesn't work*******
Flash the google wallet fix in the same recovery session when flashing your custom rom
this i do know but now i am completlely stock and my nfc can't uncheck, wont work at all... idk what happened but nothing is working now.
Had this problem too.
I was running ICS Dirty 3.6 for a few days and just flashed back to GPA18 and now wallet doesn't work, gives the above mentioned error. I contacted google wallet services and they are "investigating" the problem.
The support specialist I talked to let me know that wallet is not designed to work with custom roms and rooted phones because of security issues. I am wating to hear back from the wallet team about how they will resolve this. I will update here when I hear back from them and let you know how they resolved the issue.
See it isn't a Google Wallet problem its an NFC problem, you won't be able to uncheck the NFC option in the wireless settings. Lucky for me the balance in my Google Wallet account is $0.00 lol
I can check and uncheck my NFC option in settings. ?
using Tapatalk.
Yea I can't, guess its broke on my phone now. When I press it to uncheck it, it just greys out then I press back then reenter wireless settings and it's still checked in green like normal

Something weird
ok as you know from reading these posts I cant uncheck NFC while Google Wallet is installed on the phone. when I use titanium back up to take it off then I can uncheck it. So I tried to install it again and then it still wouldn't uncheck it just greys out ( even the check ) and when I go to Google Wallet its just a straight Black Screen and it just sits there.

I tried this with cm7, ics, and oxygen. So I'm guessing it is an nfc related issue like everyone else is saying. It was working great before--not sure what went wrong in between.
Works Only on Rooted Stock ROM
I just installed this on my AT&T Nexus S and it works, got the $10 pre-paid card too. I switched to CM7 ROM and I got the "insufficient secure element privileges" error. Seems like Google Wallet is blocking CUSTOM ROMS -- It makes sense, it is dealing with money after all.
If you are getting the gray NFC and cannot check it on, just download the Nfc_fix.zip and flash it. It should work after that. Remember that flashes your Dalvik cache so the reboot will take longer.. don't panic and wait.

I could have sworn I had it working on CM7 originally. I remember getting the $10 as well. But maybe you're right and my memory is just serving me incorrectly.
edit: i got it to work on the latest oxygen. of course oxygen IS pretty much stock. i'm not sure that i did anything different though. i did a clean wipe, data, cache, dalvik, formatted system, cache, data, boot and installed rom gapps and wallet fix.

Everything you're telling I already know, I even unrooted the phone went back to 2.3.4 then updated to 2.3.5, then 2.3.7 I am still getting the same problem .. so it has nothing to do with root or the same way i've been flashing the fix. I flashed over the GW fix over 20 times with no problems until I flashed the ICS ROM that is out for the NS4G, after I flashed it, I've had nothing but problems.

I've had it working on cm7 all along using the googlewalletfix v5. Just have to reflash it each time I flash a nightly. Funny thing is market will show it's not installed but still updates it fine.

[Q] Can't lock on to gps MIUI???

I have the MIUI Freshly Squeezed but I can't get a GPS lock. I can't even get it. I tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me. Any ideas???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17081413
This always works for me on CM7.1. I know MIUI is based on CM, so it's worth a try.

You "tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me"..thank you soooo much for the detailed description of what that method was haha. There are a good amount of fixes out there for GPS and you provided nothing as to what you have actually tried so i'll just assume you did nothing and start at zero.
1. try Crypted's AGPS fix in the dev thread. It works.
2. if you're using a case and it covers the space between the flash and camera, take it off and try to get a lock either before or after using crypted's AGPS fix
3. try the other guys method above me.
4. buy a map.
forgot to mention
5. Go outside with your phone.
but yea as mentioned we need to has more details from you. How you rooted, how you flashed your rom
also you didnt restore any settings from a previous rom did you?
i was a noob over the weekend and restored wifi passwords that werent compatible and broke my wifi radio. had to wipe and reflash lmao. just making sure u didnt restore anything relating to maps or gps

STUCK IN ROAMING... need help!!

Hi all,
Last night I flashed to hells rom from miui rom, once the flashing is completed i am stuck in roaming
1. IMEI is not corrupted.
2. tried *228 .. but its not working (pop at bottom saying sim is activated, change the roaming settings)
3. flashed back to stock using odin.. still dint work .. still at roaming.
open to suggestions, please adivse.
Data is working but no calls/sms, correct? This happened to me I had to ODIN to an ICS ROM and enter the reprovision code into the dialer. I forget what it is but a google search will surely help you find it.
WARNING: doing the reprovision will wipe your internal memory (external SD will be safe). If you have anything on there you don't want to lose back it up!

(using my LiquidSmooth rom as base; you'll have to find your settings)
go into settings >more >mobile nework settings >newtwork mode and insure you are on LTE/CDMA/EVO
> CDMA Subscription (settings?) and make sure you are in RUIM/SIM
reboot, clear cache, dalvik, and for good measures, throw in a fix permissions, and you should be in business.
like i said, not sure where your settings are in HELSROM, but should be similar.

HellsROM is based on the 4.1 OTA, so those options will not be available in settings. The OP could try flashing a 4.2 AOSP ROM to go through the steps you listed, but will probably have to reprovision from an ICS ROM like many others have had to do in his situation. Me included

Make sure that you do not dial *228, it will fry your sim card.

Make sure you use ez unlock 1.2. The one from the market is version 1.4 and does not work.
You can download 1.2 from here:

[APP] Nfc.apk active while Screen locked

I've modded the policy of Nfc.apk, so that the Nfc service is active even when screen is locked. Now you don't have to unlock anymore if you press the phone against a tag.
Screen must be "on" for sure, as Nfc is never active when phone is in standby - it would never enter deep sleep then.
Flash in CWM, odexed or deodexed Jelly Bean, enjoy!
If you encounter problems, I attached the original Nfc.apk too, so you can roll back whenever you want.
Update: added a fixed version, some had problems with the other. It works on odexed and deodexed systems.

Hai shaftenberg, Sorry to ask you here, how should i create a cmw zip to enable init.d for my Omar 1.8 kernel in my stock JB GB rom ?
Thank in advance.

Maybe you want to ask Omar himself.

Nice.
I use NFC every day, and unlocking the screen does not bother me, but I remember thinking at the beginning it would be more useful if I did not have to unlock first. I am going to try it.
It did not work for me. The NFC option disappeared altogether
The stock NFC zip restored it without any problem.

Do you mean the "option" in "Settings"?
I see no reason for that in my mod, as I changed 2 variables in smali only. Strange... Might it be that it depends on your ROM?
I am on Stock 4.1.2 and I know from others that it worked for them very well.

I will try again, and if it still does not work, I will redo the mod and compile it myself. It could be something to do with the framework.

Tried with Omars ROM: works like a charm.
Tried on modified Stock-ROM: NFC option dissapears. :crying:

Did you install my "fixed"-Version or the old one, which isn't online anymore?
If so, install the fixed one. If you did that already, please ask Omar, because Nfc.apk is stock out of the box, nothing changed but only two variables. On stock ROM it works flawlessly.

[Q] Any Working NFC ROM?

Does anyone know if there is a rom with working NFC? Ive tried alot of them and cant find one. CM11 seems to be the culprit. Any suggestions from experience?
Need it for my wallet app.
im on cm11 and have been since day 1, cm10 before that. i use nfc everyday. works perfectly. maybe its your rom? try redownloading the rom and correct gapps? might help

Ive tried differnt roms with 2 different batteries and nothing works... They are both factory batts. How can i diagnose the issue?
if you flash back to stock or a stock rom does it work? if not maybe its something deaper (not sure what tho) have you tryed a FULL wipe before flash? if im having problems sometimes ill wipe like 3 times (i doubt its necessary but it makes me feel good and usually works) try that and maybe someone else here might have abetter idea whats going on. what gapps are you using? are you making sure the md5 checksums or sha-1 values mach up on the rom and the gapps? what recovery are you using?

I do the 3 wipe when i load a rom. I have not gone to stock yet...
I do check the MD5. Kinda at a loss here. The NFC check app sees is and says its working. IDK...
Ill check with a factory image.
just make sure you flash a stock 4.1.2 rom and not a 4.3 + rom or youll be stuck with a locked bootloader! noone needs one of those!

Well... I seem to have it working... I forgot that my computer has NFC... SO i tested a file trans and it worked.
The issue started today when i attempted to use my google wallet at 2 seperate locations. Neither worked for me. I just flashed a new rom after i got home so hopefully that does it.

Well it appears that my NFC works but not google wallet. Do you have any suggestions for that?
