"NFC has stopped" message - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I keep getting an annoying pop-up that says "unfortunately, NFC has stopped". It vibrates once, then my phone freezes, Goss to a black screen, then the box pops up. Once I hit ok everything starts running like normal again. I don't know how to replicate it but sometimes it happens when switching between apps or clicking links. I think it has something to do with flashing Google wallet but I can't find anybody else with the same problem. Is anybody experiencing this or know a fix?

When you flash Google wallet it adds Google wallet to /system/app/ and replaces NFC.apk and another NFC file. Did you happen to flash back to an older rom but only restore the wallet APK but not the new modified NFC ones? Try re flashing Google wallet maybe. Wipe your secure element in wallet first just to be safe.

I haven't changed roms since I have flashed it and installed it and did all the setup on the Rom I'm using now. I'll try a reflash though and see if it works

So far there is no working Google Wallet hack for any Jellybean touchwhiz roms. This is why it does not work for you.

I'm having the same issue now. I tried putting my original build.prop file up and rebooting. It still gives me the message. If it doesn't work with Jellywhiz or any other jellybean rom then I'd like to remove the wallet changes. Can someone explain in a little more detail?

Just flash these libs after flashing wallet

You just flash that .zip file... reboot and it works?

I went ahead and flashed the file that Dovijoldberger posted above right after flashing the wallet ZIP file and it seems to be working.
thanks

How to fix that?
Thank you Dev Mikey, Love Miui. After many tries, I was able to make it work.
this rom is beautiful!
For those who haven't been able to flash, odin back to stock and root+3e recovery then flash defuse kernel. put miui rom in internal sd card, wipe data/ factory reset. flash miui rom. after it's done flashing, pull battery out. reboot into recovery with 3 buttons and flash miui rom again. Enjoy!

Thats the long way. Just clear all caches and reboot twice and done market will work again.
I was on infused 1.60 no kernel change. Put MIUI on sd card. Go to recovery factory wipe and wipe all caches and done.
Anyone know how to get the Car Home app installed? Market doesn't see it as a compatible device. I would settle for "samsung" car home or Google car home but I am not sure how to get it on there.
Google is your best friend remember that.
One you install Car Home (google) the icon to open it won't appears. (don't know why)
Installing Samsung car home will just make shortcuts to google navigation and maps.

You can't install it at all, it's not that it doesn't work. Google Car/Home says incompatible device. Samsung car/home doesn't show up in the market at all.

Stuck on unlocking the SIM card
Hey guys,
I'm currently stuck on the unlocking the sim card. I put my code in to unlock and then it just keeps stating "Inlocking SIM card..." I've seen a couple people having the same issue as me on this rom and haven't seen any solutions so any help would be greatly appreciated. As far as I can see the rom looks awesome!
Thanks again
I have been using this rom since it was released into the wild, and everything has been great (until recently ). I played around with the themes and changed the fonts up a bit, and now after a while of use my characters get all jumbled (some Chinese text mixed with English on top of English). It happens across apps and doesn't go away until I change fonts again. I thought switching back to the default would help, but so far no luck.
Has anyone else seen this (or have a solution)?
Thanks

from what i have came across, this is true on both the august build and September build of miui.
im having a hard time finding my screenshots. they are not located in the MIUI folder on the sd card like the website says they should be. if there is a fix to this or if anyone knows where it puts them that would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Google Wallet Reset Hangs

Installed Google Wallet with the wallet installer. I can't seem to get the app to reset as it hangs at 96% and stays there. I tried closing the app and opening it but it attempts to reset as I open it and it gets stuck at 96%. Anyway to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. However I get to 97% and it just hangs. Anyone else experience this?
I have. Usually it stops 3 under the target number. I then kill the wallet process and clear it data under applications. Never had a problem when flashing after doing those steps

Same rom. I'm trying to reset it completely without hanging. :/
You never get it to reset "completely" the progress bar will never get to 100 percent. This has been an issue since wallet was first made available to verizon through the hack. By resetting in wallet and clearing the data it actually does reset. If you want to make sure it has completed just go to the wallet website and check that your phone is no longer authorized for your cards

Yup! Running the installer works! I just have to reset my Wallet now. Hopefully it wont hang again. :/
Alright! It worked!
To anyone else that runs into this problem.
1) Close Google Wallet through the multitask window.
2) Clear data
3) Run Google Wallet installer again
4) Your device should be setup
5) Reset app!

Clarification question before I switch to try a different ROM.
Would step 6 then be restore build prop and step 7 reflash new rom? Also, do you backup wallet in Tibu and run the steps above or do you not even bother and just uninstall and rerun the wallet installer after loading a new rom?
Use the installer or the zip flashed in recovery. Never backup wallet in TB

GPS issues

My s3 has been acting funny lately.. the GPS seems a little wonky. I noticed when flashing a 4.2 rom.. my GPS seems to want to work..then just won't get lock on its own..I have to toggle GPS on/off to force it to work..and even then its not very solid. When I flash back to a 4.1 rom.. it seems to work. It gets lock on its own..but even then..I notice a strange inaccuracy.. I use My Tracks..a free GPS app..when running side by side with my tablet..the location seems weak on the phone..while driving in a straight line..it shows me on the other side of the highway..but near..not too fat away..then sometimes it seems on track. Now on the tablet..its dead nuts accurate.. showing me driving straight..not like I had a twelve pack first..lol..could formatting the SD card of damaged something? I wonder if all the flashing I do screwed something up..

My only fix
I have had the same problem. On CM10 my GPS works flawless but when I go to CM10.1 the GPS only works for an app if I toggle it inside the app. I have only found one fix so far for it to work in CM10.1.
Here's what I used from buhohitr (post):
Download the zip, unzip it, then copy the 2 files (gps.conf and certificate) to /system/etc of your device, reboot and try out your gps. Let me know how it goes. You must be rooted to do this.

I read on XDA, someone talked to a Verizon rep and said it's a VZW bug, not ROM/phone related. This worked for me, here's the fix:
Clear Data on Maps
Clear Data on Google Services Framework
Go to Location Services and turn OFF Verizon Location Services (leave other 2 ON)
Reboot Phone
You should now have GPS lock (hopefully)

If you can get into download mode, you're still OK - you just need to odin via PC. Check the MD5 and filesize of your root66.tar, if it's failing it's most likely a corrupt download. If they match and it still fails, what is the error message that comes up? Once you flash the stock img, get superuser and a custom recovery, and from there I hope you made a nandroid or can clean flash a new ROM. Hope this all helps.

Of course I spoke too soon when I look at the 3 choices under location settings it's missing the Verizon setting it actually only has 2 settings plus 1 location setting toggle at the top which activates the 2 at the bottom it's a different layout.. It's gone back to only working what I toggle it on and off again..
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Hmmmm that sounds like the ROM had changed the menu layout. The problem could be a ROM related issue. Have you checked if its been reported in its specific thread?
Also, go to Google Now (or Google Search), hit menu and go to settings. Check that Google's location services are on.
Lastly, I've heard about and seen better GPS with Wifi turned on, even if you're not connected. Try that too.
Sent via SGS3 using Tapatalk
What worked for me 100% is the app called GPS Status & Toolbox. Worked flawless. I have zero issues and locks solid in less than 20 seconds. That is the longest, usually 5 seconds is normal for me. Program runs when outage GPS enabled and running google maps.
I have tried them..just doesnt work unless i toggle gps on/off..lol..but its strange I can go back to 4.1 and gps works fine... All 4.2 ROMs give me the same issue..the GPS works fine..just doesnt start up on its own when I start maps or something.. I have go toggle GPS..then it works..that goes for any GPS app..just like the one u are talking about..it sounds like your GPS was indeed coming on at least..just weak..my icon doesn't start unless I toggle it after starting GPS app of choice..

[Q] Gapps Stops Working and Persistant Activation

I just flashed my first ROM so I'm not used to this whole thing. I figured that I would have some trouble along the way.
I own a VZW GS3, now running LiquidSmooth 4.2.2. I downloaded the ROM and the gapps that they linked (I didn't install the nightly builds, just the official). However, every time I attempt to sync my contacts, gapps crashes. I haven't really found a good answer via the search bar. I need sync to work, so disabling it isn't an option (plus, half of my contacts are missing). Should I re-flash gapps, or was that not the correct version to use anyways? GooManager is saying that the latest version of gapps for this device is the "20121011" version.
Also, every time I reboot my phone, it goes into this perpetual "Activation is required". That's weird because my IMEI is fine, and I can call/text/surf once I home out of that screen. Has anyone experienced this before?
EDIT: It looks like the sync issue ONLY happens when turning on the "browser" sync option. I've disabled that for now, but I have a new problem.
My "People" app is populated will all of my contacts, however that has not transferred over to my phone's contact list (used for phone and messages). How can I get those contacts names and information moved over?
Regarding the activation on every reboot, do you live in an area with poor reception? Also it seems as that issue only happens to me on certain roms I've tried.
That is not the latest gapps package. Try flashing 20130301.

That's the one I did flash.
I think I've fixed my issues. I cleared the Cache/Dalvick, flashed the new nightly, and re-cleared. That solved all the gapps problems. As for the activation issues, it still happens intermittently. I'll give Verizon a call if there are still issues.
Thanks everyone!

4.3 AOSP Dialer issues

So for some reason my phone doesn't like the dialer on every 4.3 AOSP ROM I've tried. I've been on Slim bean, Eclipse and now Liquid Smooth. I get a force close whenever I open the dialer on all these ROMs. I just Odin'd back to stock and rooted using the casual method. This hasn't happened on 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ROMs. Something on my phone doesn't like it. I just can't figure it out. I thought going back to stock and starting from fresh would help it. Please don't ask if I dirty flash. I never do. I wipe everything a minimum of 3 times and have even wiped internal storage.
I'm using ex dialer and it works just fine. And I disabled the stock phone app. Makes me think it's a graphical issue.
Would switching kernels help?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Are you using the gapps that come with Slim? I believe that message means that the gapps package you're using is conflicted with something in the ROM or vice versa. I'm on Slim with their AIO and not having the same issue.
For example, I used to test Slim for Cordell and had the same thing happen. It happened because he forgot he had updated the gapps package he was using and I was still using the one from the site. Once I flashes the correct gapps, then the issue was solved.
I always download the correct gapps and I did so from the slim ROM website. I tried two different gapps packages from there, AIO and aroma gapps, and it still happened. This same thing happened on two other 4.3 ROMs as well, Eclipse 6.0(4.3) and LS 2.10 with the 20130813.zip gapps.
It just doesn't add up but it's still not enough of a deal breaker for me to leave 4.3 ROMs.

ExDialer is awsome, I never use the stock one anymore. I'd move on and not worry about it.
Sent from my GS3 running Pac-Man ROM 4.3 nightlies with KT747 Kernel
Sorry, not sure what it could be. Only other thing would be the kernel
So I had the issue on root box 4.2.2. I have been on this ROM before with no issues. It worked right after the initial boot up. But after I finished downloading apps from play store and a couple from my SD card is when it started not working. Pretty sure it's not rom, gapps or kernel related. If I felt like it and had the time, I'd wipe and start over but I just don't feel like doing that right now. If I ever switch to another AOSP ROM, I will try just downloading apps from the play store and seeing if that fixes it. It's just weird, that I removed all apps installed from my SD card and it still won't work. I install all of the same apps on tw ROMs and have never had these problems. Oh well. I will stick with ex dialer.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Wow! That was easier than I thought. I was using Super Backup and restoring my call logs across different ROMs. This is what was causing my dialer app to crash. All I did was go into the dialer app settings and looked at the permissions for the app and it just came to me. Maybe if I clear my call log it will work. So I did and immediately it worked. Didn't even have to reboot. Such a relief to know that the problems weren't with the ROM.
