NFC completely stopped working - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm not 100% sure where it went wrong but now no matter what I have tried NFC will not turn on. I can flip it to on and it jumps right back to off. I unrooted and flashed back to a backup of stock rooted to test and still the same thing. No error just will not turn on. I decided to bring it to VZW and the customer service tech was so dumbfounded and sent me on my way. Has anyone heard of this problem or of anyways to potentially fix it or am I forced to call in a replacement. Thank you in advance.

Bump. I tried NFC "fixes", flashed hells ROM and the NFC file itself with it nothing. Doesn't make any sense. Battery is stock as well.

why did he send you on your way?
if they cannot fix the issue, and you cant, you should get a replacement.

[Q] Text Messaging problems

I'm having a problem sending text messages. wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I can receive fine. I can send on WiFi or 2g, not "4g". Curious Picture messages send fine on all networks.
I have used several ROMs along the way. I have a good list of nandroid backups from various back to stock. Restoring any and all exhibits the same.
Tech support thinks it may be a service issue in my area. My son has a myTouch 4g and has no problems texting.
Anyone have an idea?
Is this with the stock messaging app?

Have you tried a hard reboot? Hold volume up + power til your phone reboots. It doesn't delete anything but it. It fixes connection issues for me most of the time.
Good thought. Tried and no go. Interestingly I turned data off and, text messages send. Went to the t-mo store. They guy there took a look at it. He pulled my SIM and put it in their demo unit. My SIM works on their phone. He says "I can get you a replacement but I need to do a factory reset" Sure go ahead. I could tells this guys was a by the numbers guy. I told him sure, then I remembered I'm running Weapons the "weapons" splash and I figured, I'm done. No, he didn't notice. New phone on the way. So I guess I need to revert to stock unrooted when I get the new one.

Lol glad it worked out. Still have to wonder why they won't send ...
It is bothering me. I think I've reformatted everything from within recovery. Flashed a fresh version of Weapons, restored from a very old nandroid, rooted 2.2.2
Just another thing to make me nuts.
I have this issue now as well only on 4g... I went to another rom and all was well the problem came back I haven't downloading anything out of the ordinary so I haven't the slightest clue on why this is happening... gonna revert back to stock if the problem persist.

My Problems began Saturday night, I believe after I flashed back from jboxer's Experimental http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330911
That is when I noticed it.
The only thing I haven't tried is the lg.updater. Since I have a replacement in hand, I probably won't try...

I also tried the experimental, not sure why it would cause these issues after a full/complete wipe and restore of rom's that I've had no issues with at all when it comes to receiving/sending sms/mms.
did you revert back to a OTA stock, and stock recovery, no root at all? That is my last option which will be tonight probably...
I found a nandroid OTA and restored that. That was stock, unrooted. Then I flashed back the stock recovery.
I flashed several roms prior with no luck. Like I mentioned, perhaps the lg updater would fix what is missing?

I can confirm the same thing happening to me on Weapon and stock GB. Messages will send fine on EDGE and wifi perfectly, but it's hit and miss on 4G.

Pretty sure after i tried the 1.1c hybrid rom:-\
so everyone tried a jboxer rom and it started happening? I like his roms a lot but obviously something is going on here.

I had that issue and a full factory reset back to stock fixed it.

I exchanged the phone just to be safe

UPDATE: after completely draining the battery and fully charging the phone the camera started to work again. Not too sure if that'll fix your problem but it's worth a shot.

Screen turns black

Hey, guys. I've been having an issue for quite some time where my screen turns completely back and my phone freezes up. The only way to fix this is to do a live battery pull. It happens at least once a day. Not rooted. Running official ICS ROM. Can anyone help? I appreciate it.

was it like that b4 the update
you can do a factory reset too see if that helps but you will lose all your apps you have install and your settings, back them up first.
if its still the same looks like warranty repair
By chance, does this happen during a call or right after?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
What apps have you opened prior to the black screen
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Sounds like sleep of death or whatever it's called, tho I didn't have it for ages. I'd agree with the factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.

[Q] Rooted Skyrocket with faulty screen needs to be sent to AT&T

Hi guys, here is the story. I have a rooted Skyrocket running CM9. Yesterday morning, the screen just went black. Can't see a thing. I can still receive calls, the phone is functional. Went to the AT&T store, they called their warranty department, and it was decided I'd be sent a refurbished Skyrocket. I have to send my old one in. I'm worried about my warranty being voided since I am rooted. Is this a valid concern? Will AT&T being able to determine if I am rooted with the screen not being functional? Is there a program I can use on my computer to view my screen so I can unroot my phone? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hold the vol- and power button to put the phone into download mode and wait luke 30 seconds then press vol+ to get into the actual download mode then use odin to go back to stock.

The screen doesn't work then you have nothing to worry about. I sent in a rooted SR that was stuck on Samsung logo and couldn't get into download mode and never had an issue.

They just want their phone back. Plain and simple. It's not the firmware, is the hardware they want back.

Unheard of problem?
