NFC not working, - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've turned on the NFC in my OPO but it cannot detect any of my NFC tags. NFC does nothing at all when I try to read a tag. In my Galaxy Nexus the same targ works fine.

Is it an old Samsung tectile tag? My NFC is working fine.

Also no NFC (almost) here.
My apartment, work badge, and Octopus cards all register immediately on my HTC One M7, but none of them get anything in contact with my OPO.
I did get some kind of reaction when bringing my M7 and OPO together, tho...
Edit: I'm running a Chinese OPO with CM11s flashed on, with the modded radio flashed over that.

NFC on my OPO isn't working with my tags at all. Doesn't recognise the tags, or any other phone wtih NFC.. The tags where working fine with my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5.
NFC is turned on.
What am i doing wrong? Or is the Oneplus not compatible with some tags?
My OPO is running on original CM11S. Not rooted or bootloader unlocked.
Anyone else having this problem and is there a solution?

same problem here, no NFC, Cyanogen problem ? hardware ?

ok, someone has to answer what tags they are trying to read. some samsung and lg tags and others are only compatible with samsung an lg and sony or whatever phones. it also wont read rfid tags. its not a software problem because i have the exact same software and my phone reads nfc tags just fine. you need to provide more information to diagnose a problem.

I rebooted the phone and NFC is working now with other phones. It's also working with original Sony Xperia tags! Does anyone knows what kind of tags Sony is using?
It doesn't work with other tags I was using with my Nexus 5. I believe those where Mifare classic (1k) tags. But I don't know that for sure..

Do you know what kind of technology those RFID chips use? They have to be the of the correct technology for them to work.
Nfc is activated in settings. I'm pretty sure they are the right tech.. ill havs to find some more

Make sure your tags are 15.36MHz type and not the oh-so-very-common 125KHz ones. The NFC only works with 15.36MHz tags. If you are not sure of what you have, you probably have the 125KHz ones (very common for access control etc).

CM10 Official 8/18 NFC Issue

I have the official CM10 nightly from 08/18 and I'm still having issues with enabling NFC. When I check the box to enable it, it simply becomes disable - with the check marked. I've tried the office Samsung TecTile app to read some new TecTiles I have as well as another app from the market call NFC ReTag and neither acknowledge any tags.
NFC is supposed to fixed in this build, and I even receive MMS just fine - at least using Go SMS.- which is not supposed to be fixed, right? I did do a full wipe before installing the nightly and everything else is running perfectly, so I'm wonder if anyone else having this problem with NFC.
Also, I've tried with both the original Samsung battery in my girlfriend phone of same model and a QCell battery with NFC capability in my phone with the same results.
It is a known bug that will get fixed in the future.

Oh, I was under the impression that MMS workaround needed applied every reboot and that NFC was working on the on the 8/18 nightly. Thanks.

NFC not working with other Skyrockets running Sky Ics 4.2 F6 R2

Currently running a extended battery and the Sky ICS rom 4.2 I have enabled the NFC and nothing happens. Is there any possibility my NFC chip could be not working?
Use the Q&A forum next time please, this thread will probably be moved there sooner or later.
How are you checking if NFC is working? It's working fine for me.

I apologize for not posting in the correct forum.
Im enabling the NFC under the Wireless and Networks menu. Android Beam says ready to transmit app content. I would basically have my phone touching another skyrocket and nothing happens. Is there another way to check it ?
If you can get a NFC tag you could test it. Also make sure both phones have OEM batteries, most bought batteries don't have the NFC antenna in them so NFC wont work.
And make sure android beam is enabled on both devices.

Didn't even realize the stock battery was that important lol. Gonna try to do it tomorrow with the stock battery.

[Q] NFC / Android Beam working on Stock FL6?

I just tried using Android Beam on two Skyrockets running FL6 with Stock batteries. Unfortunately, it didn't work. In addition, I don't have access to an NFC Tag to test it. Has anyone experienced issues with NFC on the stock build of ICS?
It should work, make sure its set to on on both devices via settings>more>NFC.
NFC is turned off by default.
NFC and Android Beam are enabled on both devices, it just seems like neither one is detecting anything. Does anyone know of an NFC tester that can detect if two devices are in Beam range?
open browser on one, remove cases and hold them together in a cross shape, the beam function should pop up by then.

Being "in Beam range" shouldn't be a problem, because it's designed to work when the devices are touching back-to-back and not much farther than that. If NFC is enabled on both devices and they are properly situated back-to-back and it's still not working, you may have a bad battery or a ROM issue.
Oh ye I forgot to mention you must have stock battery, most replacement batteries don't have the antenna for NFC.
Thanks to aycockonxion for reminding me this fact.
Both have stock batteries - I made sure of this because I was aware of the NFC antenna inside them.
Has anyone actually TESTED it and confirms it sends data between two entirely stock FL6 Skyrockets?

I tested it with my Skyrocket while using CyanogenMod 9 and a coworker's Galaxy S3. When he would beam an image my phone would only show tag data. When I beamed a YouTube video it worked appropriately. I think there is some incompatibility between the S3 stock ROM and CyanogenMod.
I'm not talking about an S3 and a Skyrocket running CM9. I'm talking about two skyrockets running the stock ROM.
PS: The S3 uses NFC to establish a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi direct connection - it wouldn't work over Android Beam between an S3 and a non-S3 anyways.

When I run the stock ICS ATT ROM, my NFC works great. I have read tags, erased them, and written to them. Don't know of anyone else with NFC capabilities so I haven't tried the beam. Now if I could just get NFC to work in CM9.1

See, I have the exact inverse of that situation. I have two Skyrockets to test Android Beam on (unsuccessfully), but no NFC tags available for me to test.
Just buy a few tags its really cheap. Also probably 1 of your cards have NFC chip in them credit card or bus card, if NFC is working on the phone you should hear a sound while placing it near the back of an unlocked phone.

Again, I have no NFC tags or any method of buying them. And my (parents') credit cards are all non-NFC. I know NFC was originally made as an extension to RFID, would those be readable?
I tried to read a store RFID and it was a no go.
I'm guessing you have no credit card or paypal? If you do you can order a tag for less than a dollar.

Nexus 6p Compatibility

Hi. I've read a couple articles from a couple months ago that said there were issues pairing the Gear S2 to the Nexus 6p due to encryption. Is this still an issue?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
this issue was solved ,the gear S2 now works with the 6P
Is this definitely fixed? I can't find anything official via Google and this one post is the only mention that the issue has been resolved.
If the issue with encryption has been fixed, has the notification issue also been fixed? I recall there being problems with notifications being pushed to the watch.
Hi can anyone verify this?
Everything is working normal on my Nexus 6 on 6.0 if that helps.

Did you unencrypt your phone? I flashed Chroma and unencrypted my Nexus 6 in order to get my Gear S2 to work. I tried it on stock rooted but could not get the update to download. Everything is working great now that I'm on Chroma ROM.
Now that I look at it, my phone has been unencrypted but forgot about doing it. I am running the normal 6.0 but I am rooted. I do have some Bluetooth issues though.
Not really sure if an issue but when ever I answer my phone it defaults to the watch, anyway to change that?
I have a Nexus 6, completely stock and running 6.0, that pairs perfectly fine with my gear s2. The only issue I see is that since it isn't a Samsung phone, I do not have access to all available apps for the s2. I've been looking around for a way to have access to them in order to install to my watch, but I haven't found anything definitive yet. Biggest thing I can't find is how to install Milk music to the watch (i've been able to sideload it onto my phone).

The Gear S2 sport has been working very well on my Nexus 6P for over a month. Just wish we'd get some software updates from Samsung now!
just to make sure before i go out and buy one. will this work on a rooted nexus 6P?

Go to settings, Bluetooth, click on the icon next to your gear s2, and uncheck phone audio. Then it will default to the handset earpiece / Bluetooth headset
Only issue I have is not being able to transfer music from my Nexus 6 (rooted running latest chroma) to the gear s2. The gear app doesn't recognize my "0/music" folder. Any suggestions other than painfully transferring single tracks at a time through filemaster?

Are you running chroma lollipop or marshmallow? Am thinking about getting the watch too but am running purenexus marshmallow. Is all the notification working on the nexus 6? Thanks
I'm running chroma marshmallow latest version. I get all of my notifications, only issue is a Nexus issue on how the internal storage route is interpreted by the Sammy software.
No, Samsung Gear S2 is not compatible with Nexus 6P. Its compatible with Nexus 5 and some lists of other smartphone devices. It is officially declare by samsung in their website. Here i will give you the screenshot of compatible devices list.

Do you have milk or any other music steaming app working without the phone?
I like the idea of being able to leave the phone behind (LTE version) for workouts and such but need streaming music.

I've had the Samsung Gear S2 classic for several months now, working perfectly with LGG2. Got a new Nexus 6P (Android 6.0.1) a week ago, did all OS updates and security updates and installed the Gear S2 app. It would pair and connect to my Gear S2 just fine but as soon as open the app and try to click on anything (e.g. watch faces, notifications, apps layout, etc...) it opens for 1s and closes again. I've tried repairing, reinstalling, resetting....re-anything but no luck. I have not tried turning off encryption yet but at this point the watch is unusable without the app. Very disappointing!

Ok...I fixed it. Just in case somebody was having the same issue. No rooting or ROM flashing necessary.
All I did was add "Google App" back into the list of apps that are allowed to send notifications to the Gear S2. I'm not entirely sure why this is related to notifications but I'm assuming since the OS needs to communicate with the watch to get all settings to display in the Gear app, that "Google App" is kind of synonymous for "anything Android" and should therefore always be left "on" in Gear app notifications.
I hope this helps somebody.
Cheers,
Mike
