I'm wondering why my NFC logo is gone on top. NFC and beam are all turned on. Is it because I'm on 15.0.A.1.36?
Some software doesn't have that icon. Like the US and CE doesn't have it but Indonesian or UK have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426189 Here is a tutorial if you wan't to have it. But you need an root.
That might be it. I tried testing it with nfc tag and nfc is working. I'm using UA firmware

Hello,
I have a stock rooted Blaze 4G. In the Settings, I make sure that NFC is enabled, but it does not seem to work. I downloaded a bunch of NFC apps, and none of them could pick up any RFID tags (e.g., parking meters, work badge, US passport, etc). The battery states that it has NFC.
After I rooted my phone, I got rid of a lot of T-Mobile bloatware, so I am wondering whether I could delete something that would affect NFC.
I do not know if it is a software or hardware bug and whether this is a bug at all, so I would really appreciate any suggestions or comments. Thank you.
im running tweaked 1.6 and nfc works for me... you ha e to enable in settings and use an app but i can send bookmarks and contacts and data between phones at least.. i havent found any tags to scan yet...
if youre thinking that you might have dumped some apps that you need, i would reccomend flashing tweaked, it is unbloated and smooth....

Thanks, I will try Tweaked 1.6.
Who has actually used their NFC for anything...?

im buying a sheet of stickers off ebay and i wanna use them to rick-roll unsuspecting by sticking them on things that have scan codes...lol

I tried Tweaked v1.6, and the NFC still did not work I could still try to flash the stock ROM, but I really doubt it would work either. I guess it is a hardware defect, and unfortunately, I cannot bring it back to T-mobile as I left them a while ago. I do not really use NFC often (apart from SF parking meters), but it is nice to have a fully functioning phone.
nfc on android phones only works with a frequency of 13.56 mhz so perhaps the tags you are scanning are on a dif frequency

The US passport works on 13.56 MHz frequency, but my phone cannot pick it up. Parking meters clearly say NFC, and my phone cannot pick them up either, so I have to enter the long number manually.
my phone doesnt even have NFC
my battery says near field communication on it, and the option to turn it on is in wireless and network settings... did you by any chance change your battery?
i have deffinately sent stuff between phones, but havent found a tag to scan yet...

Yes, the battery is stock, and it says Near Field Communication. I have not tried to use it to communicate between phones, but that is not what I would use it for on a daily basis anyway.
I just purchased the larger stylus holder that was intended for the 5.3 Note. I tried to use it, but it would not work without first removing the original stylus from the unit. I would like to use the new one and keep my original in the unit in case of emergency.
Anyone able to do this?

Go into settings and find the settings for the pen and uncheck the power saving setting for the pen.
OK, i tried to check that option, still the tab still detects when i remove the pen, is this option really working? I'm on build N8000XWALG7, is this a good build? How do i know which country firmware to upgrade? I am from philippines. My baseband is N8000XXLGA

I found it and it works. I can use my new sylus with the original still tucked inside. BTW... I really like the stylus holder with the 5.3 stylus much better than the origanal. Handwriting is much better. I am not getting all the extra squiggles on my letters.

I think it will always detect if the pen is removed or not irregardless of that option being checked or not. But by turning off the battery saving feature you are able to use another pen while the original 10.1 pen stays docked.
Hmmm wierd coz i tried using my other note's stylus and its not working, or do i have to buy another stylus? Both devices doesn't work when pen is dock
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
As soon as I went to settings and removed the check from battery saving, my second pen began to work while the original was in the dock. At least I think that as what I did to get it to work.

So the setting should be uncheck not check? Im sure i tried all the combinations but will try again later, thanks

Is there a way to remove cell radio and telephony services from a GS3, making it a Wi-Fi only device.
I flashed jelly bellies any-phone Wi-Fi only zip, it works on a Fascinate but not on a GS3
And I know that airplane mode works, but to me it's not good enough.

Just use Phone Info from the play store and turn off the radio. Don't see why airplane mode isn't sufficient. Does the same thing.

I've had phone info for a while but never thought about that, Thanks. Hopefully someone can fix Jelly bellies to work for the GS3, it would be appreciated!

Why exactly are you trying to have a WiFi device only that Airplane mode is not good enough?
Telephony services are running in the background. I don't want any traces that the device is a phone, I don't need a second phone. I'm also peaky, I don't want to see the airplane mode icon constantly on status bar.

I've wondered about the same thing. I thought breaking the imei would be a good place to start. There's an easy to access internal antenna I was also considering disconnecting as well to try to prevent the devices communication with the mother station..
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
Never really thought about it myself but i would start by downloading the rom that you wanted to flash to the device and start removing the ril files and any verizon apps. Also wtihout the sim card I'm pretty sure the phone isnt really connecting to the network to begin with. I have a spare s3 laying around so I'll try to see what i can figure out for you
Like I said, I went to the thread link, listed below and flashed this on a Galaxy S "Fascinate" it was successful. The flash removed all the telephony services.
This zip should theoretically work on any phone. But I think this doesn't work on the GS3 maybe do to the naming that Samsung uses on the system apks.

You mean the official flip shell isn't able to turn the screen off/on in CM 11/PA? I'm pretty sure it's kernel related and should be fairly simple for the dev the fix. Maybe try reporting it on the thread.

He means, the smart cover app (for covers without magnet to turn the screen on and off using proximity sensor) doesn´t work with the moto G and the moto g LTE
Because there is a restriction that prevents access to these sensors, actually it's sort of a bug and only the system user can access these.
Even things like Skype can't access them while you're incall.
Maybe as root you can control them, but the app needs to be using that method.
This one works very well on my Verizon XT1028 with a generic non-magnetic flip cover (stock 4.4.4, not rooted, bootloader locked):
Flip Cover Control by Cloudy Day Apps

Don't know if the problem may be specific to Paradoid or CM roms, however; but worth a try I guess.
I cannot give you a proper solution regarding your problem but I can tell you alternate way, which can be used to wake screen, there is a app named "Gravity Screen Pro - On/Off"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro
and it not only works on proximity sensor but you can use other sensor to work it and its not battery hungry, I also tested this on a phone without proximity sensor, works like a charm, free version of this app also available in market, hope it will resolve your issue

Hi,
I'm on CM12.1 Nightlies, and I'm looking into the Smart lock features. I've added an NFC tag to the trusted devices, but I don't really understand how it works now...
I expected to be able to scan my tag when screen is locked, to easily unlock it, but when I do nothing happens, like if NFC weren't even enabled when screen locked (if that's the case it's stupid to even let me select a NFC trusted device, right?)
Anyone know how NFC trusted devices is intended to work in CM12.1?
Anything more I should look at?
Btw. I'm using AK kernel 300, not sure it can have anything to do here...
Any help or pointer is much appreciated. TIA.

Any more info about how that works? After digging a bit more into it in Google I found that the phone must already be unlocked, and must stay on top of the NFC tag, which is not at all what I expected and... Well, in my case worthless.
I'd value a lot more Trusted Wifi, which for whatever dumb reason Google hasn't thought useful to develop apparently (nor anybody contributing to CM unfortunately ?).
