Hey guys, are you having any issues with NFC?? Sorry if this is a repost...searched for NFC, but nothing came up. I tried placing my gf's N4 next to my N5, but nothing happened..no prompt to beam. Would love to know how you guys solved this issue, or have any idea what the problem is.
Thanks everyone!

I know it's going to sound pretty inane, but when you try to use NFC do you have your screen on? From what I know, the NFC chip is only on when the screen is on for your device.

Hi, and thank you for your response! Yes both screens are on... Tried to beam a YouTube video from my gf N4 to the N5...

Stupid question but do you have NFC turned on?

Thanks for the response... Is there a certain way you hold it... Like alignment wise? I tried a dozen times... Must be a hardware issue...

Is NFC turned on in the n4? NFC has been better for me with my n5 over my n4. Places that my n4c wouldn't work at, my n5 works like a charm. I've also used NFC to transfer pics from my n5 to my wife's n4 without issue. I just held the n4 centered to the back of my n5.

Thanks for the response! Yeah NFC is enabled on both devices... I also tried using NFC testing apps to see if it recognizes it... It says NFC is there and enabled, but can't be sure how accurate that is.

i dont really know if that is an issue but my friend has galaxy s4 and we he tried to transfor a pic to my n5 with nfc it didnt work but when we tried to transfor something else like web page it worked
Yeah not sure what's going on...

I have the same thing. Trying to transfer a photo from Nexus 5 to S3 Mini
Nexus 5 makes a noise and says touch to beam so I do and then it says no connection
If I do it with a web page its no problem
I'm trying to transfer the photo using File Expert HD, maybe thats the problem
Using File Expert HD to NFC transfer between S3 Mini and My Nexus 7 tablet works fine
Mine isn't working at all! Won't even say touch to beam. I put it to the back of a nexus 7.2 and a Gnote 3 and nothing! Won't even recognize anything. There's got to be something causing this problem because my NFC was working before. I used it several times to transfer photos and now all of a sudden I get nothing??

I had a problem with NFC too. It wasn't working with SGS3 and Nexus 7... So I opened a back cover and raised those 4 pins just a little bit, put everything together and boom - now it works! Obviously a bad contact issue.

Hey how did you guys do it? I'm having the same issue after replacing my screen. Do I raise the four pins on the nfc board on the motherboard? And how did you scrape the contacts on the back cover SoTacMatt?
I'm not gonna try anything before I hear from you guys. I just paid $50 for the screen and seriously don't wanna go paying $25 for the nfc.
Edit: Nevermind fixed it :laugh: apparently everyone is jumping the gun in this thread. This was the fix for me.

Personally I run a:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-HDMI-3FHU-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0080CXSOU
to connect to my home theater. Not sure how well the wireless video/audio would turn out.
In my experience streaming anything over the air turns out poorly.
I guess the wireless nature of it all could be convenient though

I have the mhl adapter also, but it gets annoying having to constantly hook it up every time I wanted to watch a movie. At the same time, I don't wanna sacrifice sound quality just to be wireless. I'm torn!!!!!

I just got my phone back from mobiletechvideos JTAG service. Since then, my phone struggles to hold WiFi and 3g. It very rarely pulls 4g. I have tried a factory reset. Also restored my IMEI backup just in case. I have an extra micro sim arriving today. I'm just wondering if I could be missing something simple or is my phone royally screwed?

Sounds like your radio.
They probably updated your baseband to MF1, I'd try to use mb1 firmware to see if that fixes your reception problem.

Thanks for the fast response! I flashed the MB1 firmware and still have poor signal. I'm starting to get depressed as this went from the best phone I've ever owned to the worst.

I did take the phone apart and found that the WiFi connection was loose. I corrected that. I started the phone back up and held the Sim card down in the slot while booting and the phone miraculously got 41asu.....for about 5 minutes and now its holding at a steady 2asu. So, would there definitely be something wrong with the Sim card? Or could the Sim port be going as well? Is there a way to test the Sim connectivity in the phone settings?

The lower the asu the better, in contrast to a higher dbm is a better signal.
2 asu is a pretty strong signal, you should be around -80 dbm.
Edit; Nevermind I mixed it up, a higher asu is better. I still think it's radio related though, but changing your sim card is an easy potential fix.

Well....sim card didn't work. Next I'm going to Odin back to pure stock and see if that helps. I'm starting to think it may be something in the NV items or hardware related. Hope I'm wrong though.

Hi David,
Often times when devices become bricked, it results in your NV items being damaged and causes this problem. Here is a guide that highlights this issue, and will tell you how to remedy the situation.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32397-tutorial-imei-backup-nv-with-qpst-us-variants/"
ugh. I really dont want to go messing around with the NV items if that is the case. Im in the process of flashing with ODIN now. I'll update if that works or not.
What is your IEM Showing?
If its been erased, then ODIN to stock firmware probably won;t fix that,
but, have you check your mobile network setting to see if you are on the correct network?
If you are with Verizon it should be set to CDMA, not GSM.

Software is not intermittent. Hardware can be. You may have a broken or loose antenna cable or connector inside the phone.

Hi David,
I'm glad to hear you resolved this issue. This is quite surprising as the S3 is relatively easy to work on internally and we had never had this issue after working on one. I'll take note of this in case it's ever observed in the future. In the mean time, anyone ever having a questions regarding their order, just call us at 657-444-JTAG. Rock on buddy!

Having some trouble with my bluetooth not connecting to my car. I have a Fiat Abarth and at first my N5 was working fine until I updated to 4.4.1. And now it is broken. I can search for devices and it will show my car but after entering the 4 digit code it will not connect and my phone will stick in pairing and not come out of it. anyone know what is going on?
Update to 4.4.2 and see if you have the same problem.

Hi all,
I got my phone 5 days ago and since then, it looses signal about 6 times a day in places where there is full signal.
I used to own Galaxy S2 and never had this issue before.
I'm using the same carrier and living in the same place so the only thing that has changed is the phone.
I was wondering if it's a known issue, if there's a fix or should I RMA this?
Thanks!
Happened to me until the updates. Are you on 4.4 still?
Team Nexus 5 sucks
Nope, as soon as I got the phone it was on 4.4.1 and then upgraded to 4.4.2
Same thing is happening to me, and from what I've Google'd, heaps of others as well.
Hoping 4.4.3 (or whatever they will call the next one) will fix these issues. I switched to a new carrier, to get the Nexus 5 (I could've stayed with my old carrier and got it, but I was unhappy with them). There is so many issues with the Nexus 5 and my new carrier, its not even funny.
I hate it when my phone LOSES the signal.
It still happens to me once or twice a day. Turning on airplane mode for a few seconds fixes my signal.
Team Nexus 5 sucks
Happens to mine constantly. Pos.

Compare your APNS to your network standard APNS. Simply Google that and you should be able to find it. I would Google it for you but I don't know your network.

Hey everyone,
So I have a Nexus 5 red and just for kicks I wanted to try out the NFC but it does not seem to work correctly and I cannot figure out why.
The phone I was trying to connect with is an S4. I am able to send them pics via NFC but when they try to send me something instead of getting the pic, the google play store opens and then everything just kind of stops.
Anyone know the reason for this?
Thanks
Maybe because the s4 and touchwiz .. I've tried as well bro.. That's my only guess..

I thought that too but I figured if that was the case it would not let me send anything either. I can send but I just can't get anything back. Its also weird that it always opens the play store. Is there some kind of app I am supposed to have for this?
I don't think so... I'm really thinking it's cause touchwiz...
