Ok, so I've discovered something interesting. Being the crack flasher I am, I often flip flop between AOSP, the occasional AOKP and TW roms. Seeing as I have a little 7 year old brother, my mother finds it nice to be able to instantly transfer stuff back and forth when dealing with him thru NFC and WiFi direct, so NFC is a big factor for me, in addition to being able to use Google Wallet. I notice that as long as I stick to AOKP/AOSP, my NFC is fine, but the minute I flash a TW rom and go back to AOKP/AOSP, it instantly breaks NFC functionality completely, regardless of me doing anything else.
For instance:
1) Odin back to stock ICS
2) Flash CM10 or any other AOSP/AOKP rom and check NFC functionality and its able to be toggled
3) Flash TW
4) Immediately flash back to CM10 and NFC will be grayed out and unable to be toggled
The same could be said for doing it this way:
1) Odin back to stock ICS
2) Flash TW
3) Immediately flash CM10/AOKP/AOSP rom and check NFC and it's grayed out and unable to be toggled.
What can be going on in TW that completely snaps NFC functionality so that you can't use it in CM10? All the MD5 checksums are valid and none of them have issues when being flashed, so I know it's not in part to doing anything wrong. Also, the only way to fix this is to flash back to a TW rom OR Odin back to stock if you want it to work in CM10 and stick to strictly that styling of ROM.
Known AOSP problem, it's not TW.
I don't know the technical reason for why but I have read in passing that you must have NFC checked on the ICS rom PRIOR TO flashing an AOSP rom. NFC is unchecked by default on TW so each time you observed it greyed out in AOSP roms is because you did not leave it turned on within TW. It sounds weird, especially since you wipe data when switching between roms but try it and see what happens.

I'm not trying to hi-jack your thread, but i have been trying to find a solution to my nfc issue... Have you ran into a situation neither tw or CM10/AOKP/AOSP won't enable. When i try to do it in tw it just jumps back to the off position. and in cm it just stays grayed out.

That's unfortunate but it looks like you need a replacement in this case. Have you contacted Samsung to see if they'll exchange it for you?

This is the answer, works great.. Thank the man!
Did you know there is a NFC fix zip in the CM10 nightlies discussion? Flash this in recovery after you flash back to CM10 and it should fix NFC.
Props to the person who made this zip (dont have time to look right now, sorry)
Lol I know about odin'ing back to stock and all that, I was being curious as to the technical reasons as to why flashing a touchwiz rom then going back to cm10, even through a restored backup would cause the nfc capabilities to break, that was the purpose of the thread thanks for everyone's input so far

It doesn't work 4 me. not at all.
my steps
1.Nandroid my CM10 14/11
2.Flash tw ICS from Mobile Odin
3.Turn NFC on/off/on (it works)
4.Restore my CM10 nandroid
5.try out NFC. Nothing to do. greyed flag.
Tried also those steps:
1.Nandroid my CM10 14/11
2.Flash tw ICS from Mobile Odin
3.Turn NFC on/off/on (it works)
4.NEW installation CM10
5.try out NFC. Nothing to do. greyed flag.
Any ideas?
Turn on nfc, sbeam, basically everything. That's weird its not working. What I did was restore a nandroid of Jellybomb, turned on everything, went to recovery, did not wipe anything, restored aosp rom, nfc worked.

i tried this......still having the same issue, switched from CM10 back to stock and had issues with my GPS being way off, like by 3300 meters off haha.....so flashed back to stock, still had the issue, so i used the rooted stock image and flashed that and i'm still off by about over 2k meters.....don't use my navigation or maps all that much but when i do need it i'll have a bit of an issue lol
I had issues with my gps for a few days. If was real flaky but got better with synergy 1.5. I have since move to 1.6 with a fresh install and am still okay. Check out a app called gps status. See if you can see any gps satellites. Maybe in that app clear your agps state in tools. Then if that doesn't work try to download gps assistance with the same app in the same settings. Make sure your out side for this stuff with your gps. It's probably not gonna hit ya sitting on the couch.

New AOKP JB issue with radio
Well I am trying to get something fixed and I am going through a complete restore to do this.
But just so you are aware the new AOKP JB release will kill your data. I learned a hard lesson with this when trying to recover and nandroid back to my previous rom. It killed my data completely and would not allow me to do anything with data in any rom. I used the root66 stock rom in hopes it would work, and that didnt even solve the issue.
Right now I am restoring a factory image through kies and seeing if that will do what I need. If it does, I am sticking with stock roms for awhile until AOSP roms have more time to develope with less bugs.

Well it turns out I still had my imei present on my phone and even after a factory reset like I did wit kies it still didnt work. Initially I wasnt able to get past the activation screen on the root66 rom, but I was able to with the stock factory image from kies in which case this allowed me to follow the steps in this link.

Once I did that my phone rebooted and everything came back as it was never gone, well except for all of my data on the internal sd card, but that is to be expected.
After 2 hours of going through numerous steps I finally found a fix, mind you not the most simple of fixes, but a fix none the less.
I think I am just going to stay stock for awhile like I mentioned and wait for the OTA that comes out in 2014 lol, unless in review of AOSP roms the issues present now are gone after sometime.

hey guys, can i go back and fourth on the s3, with ics and jb and just like flash the rom, like on the nexus? or, wasnt sure how it worked. Looking for best battery life, that maybe be s3 stock, not sure, i know ics nexus stock was best.
Thanks, let me know!
It'll work pretty much exactly the same.. Need to have your bootloader unlocked of course
Well yes and no, there have been some strong debate threads on exact methods of going from ICS to jb. Some devs are calling for a full format of the system (not just data wipe) when flashing certain jb rom's. Which is fine, but a lot of issues arising when trying to restore previous nandroids. Apparently bootlooping has been occurring.
No expert on the issue, I'm comfortable with my synergy rom at this time, but the talk is out there.
Recommend some research into all that's been happening.

If you flash the Synergy ROM it will create a backup automatically but the standalone tool is available too, just check the backup threads. Easy as reflashing in recovery.

Along time ago I made the mistake of wiping cache, dalvik and flashing a kernel without resetting wallet. I figured I wasn't wiping data so I was good (just lazy.) I did make a backup with working wallet.
Now my Nfc will work (I've transfered songs and pics through s beam) but it sometimes greys out and won't stay on. It works than stops, reboot does not change it. If I get it back before I go to bed when I wake up its broke again.
I'm currently on Clean Rom ULE not that I think that's the problem.

Do you get a box that says "unfortunately nfc has stopped"? I used to get that and finally fixed it by flashing back to the stock rom and restoring data from my old rom so I didn't lose anything. Fixed the problem for me and didn't lose any apps or how my home screen was set up.

I was using Twrp file manager in recovery and noticed the NFC Apk. Had the VRLF stock radio after it. So I flashed back from the new blk jb leak. That seems to have fixed it. I tried to take a screenshot of the apk in root explorer but it doesn't list the baseband after the apk. like it did in twrp.

This happens every time I flash a JB ROM.
Everything else seems to work fine.
But...
As soon as I disable wifi, my mobile data greys out and I have no internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, my mobile data comes back.
If I am out of wifi range, mobile data greys out and no internet connection.
When mobile data works....it works.
Looking at my APN settings shows no APN's at all. It will let me populate a new APN, but when I press "save" it just goes away and leaves nothing. I've tried rebooting after also.
My IMEI information shows up in the settings screen. Not jibberish.
Flashing back to stock restores my mobile data fine.
Mobile data works fine when I upgrade to ICS from GB before attempting JB.
The phone reacts to flashing exactly as the instructions indicate.
This has happened every time I try to go from ICS to JB.
I tried completely wiping (int sd and all)my phone before flashing (over and over again) and I'm following andros instructions fully.
While on JB, could using Odin to restore an efs backup I made while on GB help this? Is it possible to just upload the backup without returning to stock? I tried to restore the efs backup with Root Explorer but it didn't fix anything obviously. And I can't seem to even connect fully using EFS Pro (won't see com ports on the Qualcomm screen). Nitrality is an app that claims to backup/restore the efs folder but I haven't tried restoring one yet.
I'm not even sure the problem lies within the efs folder.
Ive gone through this a million times and it is the same no matter what I do or "try". It is the same for me with any JB ROM.
Searching the forum has gotten me this far, but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I refuse to accept failure.

I first re-downloaded all my ROM's and GAPPs on the computer.
I've been able to keep mobile data all the way to 4.1.2.(Paranoid) But after that it's as I described:
IMEI shows up and is correct.
No APN's listed and can't save a new APN.
"Mobile Data Status" shows disconnected.
If wifi is on and connected, mobile data "works" fine, but still shows no APN's and disconnected in settings as above.
Resetting to default APN says it completed, but nothing's there. I tried rebooting after and checking.
Wanna hear something really strange...
Since I knew I was going to have to go back to stock once again, I decided to step back to 4.1.2 just to see what would happen.
4.1.2 installed fine and my mobile data was once again working correctly.
Still working on it.

Thanks but nope.
This happens every time even when starting fresh from stock.
I am not altering the ROM itself before flashing in any way.
Immediately after flashing a 4.2.+ from 4.1.2 the APN's are not appearing. But my IMEI info is.
But if I go back to 4.1, the APN's are there so I'm thinking the APN's aren't being deleted during the flash?
In the process of flashing, I've made sure all the ROM's "worked" and the APN's were there before stepping to the next one.
I feel like I'm insane.
Re: [Q] Loose mobile data and APN's after any/every JB flash.
Can anyone tell me what controls the migration of the APN info when flashing from 4.1 to 4.2?
Also, what controls the addition of new APN's and where are they saved?
Is there any place I can look within the ROM or kernel to help see if the APN info is really missing.
Personally, I think the APN info is there, but something is not installing completely when flashing.

This thread is exactly what I'm talking about. Unfortunately it's for the SII, but it's the same. The bummer is that we can't run GetRil on the infuse. I'm stuck again. At least it's nice to know I'm not the only one with this particular issue. Any help?

It's working!!! :good:
I grabbed the UVKJ6 modem, flashed it, and APNs are displayed and working.
I've tested with 4.2.2 versions of Beanstalk, Paranoid, SlimRom, PAC, and The Collective's (shout out to dman who spoiled me with Zeus).
Tried to re-download and install the JB version of my trusty UCLB3 modem, but it would not work (for me) with any of these ROMs.
I've never been so happy to have my notification bar freeze! Lol.
I'm assuming this all has something to do with the stage of development for JB? Idk.
I can't thank you enough. You really came through when I needed help. Thank you Sir.
Good to hear.
You Prolly just needed to re flash a modem.
Blscallions deserves the credit for putting those together.

I'm having the same problem as you, but my data won't work at all even after turning wifi on/off. On the pull-down menu it says that I have no service. I would love to try the modem fix, but this is all brand new to me and I have no idea how to do it. Can someone help me out here?

I had to flash a different modem. Not sure why, but it fixed my problem. What I did was:
1. Downloaded a few different modems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31097259
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Select to Install zip from SD card.
4. Locate one of the modem. (In the folder).
5. Flash the modem.
6. Clear cache and dalvik cache.
7. I selected to fix permissions. Probably don't have to do this. But I did.
8. Reboot and test. If it doesn't work, flash another modem and try again.
If no modem works, then its probably not the modem. Hopefully you removed the SD card when flashing from ICS to JB. And hopefully your IMEI # is showing and correct.
It goes quick. I hope this works for you. If you need more detailed instructions, just let me know.
