Hi Gurus,
Is there any possibility that we can get NFC feature on GNote in near future?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Nope.
It needs hardware that the N7000 doesn't have.
Buy the LTE version if you want that.

you can in the not toooo far future get SIM cards with build inn NFC...don't know how far inn the future that is yet though...
I was sure NFC was built in the Note. I'm surprised it isn't. I bought the Note thinking to keep it for a long time but now I'm disappointed because I'm sure I saw it advertised almost everywhere that the Note has NFC. %@C*//

Buy the LTE (AT&T) Note for NFC.
BTW if they do release a sim card capable of holding a NFC chip, your after market Alloy back will block it from working...
Also that Moneto link looks scammy to me, "Booster stickers" are complete bull****.
In fact If the sticker has any metal in it it'll make it harder for the NFC Arial to pickup any signal.

yeah it should work just as any other nfc chip on simcard etc - but on gingerbread there is no application that support it yet
Anything else required other than the battery? I thought the att note had nfc hardware onthe battery cover?

lol, you have no idea how NFC works do you?
The NFC is NOT built into the battery, Its a part of the main-board and Snapdragon architecture
see pics here:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/63911416-post3899.html
this is simple.
you either buy the Korean Model (not recommended)
or you buy the LTE Snapdragon model
or you live without NFC and buy the N7000 (Exynos chipset) International version.
I gotta ask, what exactly are you guys using nfc for? Trying to figure out the hype. Please be as detailed as possible.
What the heck does the NFC battery do since the "NFC enabled" ones have the the extra connections for the anntena

Basically:
-You can store your information like for say your credit card info on your phone and if you find a NFC enabled payment device like seen in Toys R Us or Best Buy you can just scan your phone instead of having to pull out your card all the time. This replaces your card entirely.
-Android Beam: Let's you exchange information by putting two phones with NFC in them to exchange info like videos, pictures, links, and making payments(It's not made yet, but probably in the future).
These two are the only uses I could think up of right now that is right now available in the U.S. In other countries you can use them as bus passes too like in South Korea.
Android Beam only works in ICS at the moment..

I know what I want to use it for in the future - context sensitive app launchers!
Sony is going to push this hard - look for sony nfc smart tags on Amazon.
Are you guys really that comfortable to store all that personal information on a smartphone?
Maybe later for me.
Well, If your using the Android pattern lock you should be safe, as even FBI can't break it
The NFC ready battery I think is that it has a NFC antenna, the chip is on the phone itself I believe...
Correct me if I'm wrong..

I was wondering if any found any real good use of the NFC or the Google wallet app. I have $10 from signing up, and am thinking about going over to 7-11, but it is weird when on the MasterCard finder, it says there is NFC checkout and you don't want to seem like an idiot trying to check out.
So little use for it I have NFC what to use it for.
No Wallet here in Australia and no other NFC devices for me.

I have a few nfc chips (compliments of tagsfordroid) I've got a key chain tag that I use when I leave the house, it disables wi-fi, enables gps and bluetooth, increases ring tone volume. All the little things that take a few minutes of my time are now simplified with the tap of a tag! I also use nfc for other various tasks and it's proven to be very helpful

It would be so much simpler and have a far greater reach if you just had a QR code in it.
Using NFC for just a website seems a total waste to me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
The only thing I saw with it, was that it can'y verify payments immediately unless it's connected. I have tried twice. Once at Best Buy, failed because the systems don't work. Second at 7-11 and it worked but it doesn't say whether it took the money ou, because I didn't have it connected.
for a good list of usage examples of NFC go to the comment section of this post

Some are standard some are pretty original.

Had this happen too at McDonalds and 7-11, but then again it would let me purchase regardless. The money would end up being pulled from a credit card later, so no big deal here.

I thought places just had to accept NFC, or Mastercard's PayPass thing, and not specifically Google Wallet?
I like to take an nfc chip with me where ever i go and find ladies with nfc capable phones and put my contact in their phone all ninja-like and then just be casual and say "aye bay bay, call me sometime" and when shes like "i dont have your number" i tell her to look at her phone and her panties instantly become soaked.

Gotta try that.
Thought some of you interested in NFC might like to see some cool tags.
Thanks for that, I didn't know about the pro mode, good video!
I have a selection of tags and I've been testing them out with various ideas. I've decided that a good idea is to tag some of my items with a URL to a contact information page as a kind of identifier. All my stuff is registered with immobolise.com anyway so hopefully it would find it's way back to me.
Another useful tool I've found is Touchanote which links a tag to Evernote so that you can go straight to a particular note. I stuck the tag in my notebook on the back so that when I'm in a meeting and there's stuff to do, it will take me straight to my to-do list.
I also stuck one on the inside cover so that again when I'm in a meeting, I just pop my phone on top of it, and it will silence all sounds.
My biggest issue with them at the moment is the price. To get some really elegant task switching, I would need bigger capacity tags, and they are a lot more expensive than the readily available ntag203 types.
I know that I could use re-tag to repurpose existing tags with NFC, or use tasked, but there are some uses where I think it would be good to have some workflows which weren't specific to my phone alone.

Tec tiles are samsung branded nfc tags, which is setting you back by 3$ per tag or 15$ per pack of 5 tags. But there other nfc tag oem which costs you 1$ or less per tag. Will give link shortly.

Thanks Ye Tasker is a mind masher at times, you could also try NFC Task Launcher which does most of the every day tasks but a bit less brain F**K.
Ye RapidNFC are rapid with delivery as well, I hate waiting for stuff so next day service that actually happens is great.
For some reason, I am not able to see the video. I have been doing alot of reading on NFC today. Does anyone know if its possible to make them work NEAR the phone? Meaning if the phone is near the NFC chip, do this, if not, do this?
I would like to use something like this to emulate the "holster mode" for blackberrry

This video may help, show the scanning distance for NFC on Android devices, should be about the same across most handsets.
Awesome. So what are the chances I could make this work to change my phone profile? Say I put a sticker on the holster. Slide it in... it scans. will it continue to scan as I walk around? Or would it only scan again when I remove the phone? (scanning on insert and remove is what I want obviously)
I ordered a nexus, but I wanna know, what I can use nfc for?

This is exactly what I was wondering but was afraid to ask in order not to look like a noob
I mean, I know the basics of the technology, but any good use? I mean, I don't care about NFC tags that I have to glue to my desk, because I already have a better way to turn on wifi automatically or do different stuff (i.e. Setting Profiles uses GPS or GSM location to do these things).
I mean - I have Nexus 7 and Note 2, which both have NFC. I saw some demonstrations concerning file trenasfer between phones and what not... But when I put my Note 2 onto N7, I only hear a beep and that's it... what has to be done i.e. to use NFC to transfer something between these 2 devices? Does this work in combo with Wifi direct?
D.
In am not sure if the note 2 uses the normal beam app built into android or not but I know if I put my nexus s or nexus 4 back to back next to my nexus 7 (nexus s to nexus 4) with say the gallery app opened up it will allow me to beam the image selected to the other device...you can also use it for webpages, contacts and other such shareable items.

You beat me to it
I like that dude's YouTube channel, so thanks for introducing me to it... Ah, Hackintosh, there's a scene I haven't been to involved with since the early leaks of the developer preview of 10.4.3 way back when... (I'm pretty certain I was amongst the first to get it booted on anything other than the developer platform, lol) NFC though, I've not really had much use for it. Got a few devices which support it, my partner's S2 as well, although trying to get the I9100P's party piece working in an I9100 CM10.1 ROM has been hit and miss. I should grab some tags to use for profile switching and app launching on my Nexuses (Nexii?), it seems like the only thing I'm likely to use it for in the short term, at least.
Nfc is a gimmick. I tried to send a pic to my cousin once using nfc. It wouldn't even send it... It said file was too large... Wtf its like a 25kb pic file... Seriously?
Gimmicks gonna gimmick

If I was going to try and do an equivalent to the Logitech Harmony than this app is going to be your best bet imo:
Touchsquid Pro
Has full S4 support. It will do way more than any other remote app and let you set up macros, complex switching, and customizable layout. They offer a low priced trial as well to test it out.
I thought ten dollars was expensive for an app, but fifty?! I've seen more expensive stuff in the app store when I had an iPhone. I might have seen GPS programs that were more expensive on the android side. Still, I don't want the app bad enough to pay fifty bucks for it.

You have to put it in perspective. If you have a tablet with IR and pay the $50 for the app it will turn that tablet into a remote that normally you would have to pay $200 - $500 for, maybe more. I paid $149 for my refurbed Harmony One remote and the app paired with a compatible device will do more. Only thing it would be lacking is RF capability.
And it can't learn on s4's because they don't have an ir receiver.
I'm loving the $10 app. It saves every device you set up and allows you to build custom composite remotes using pieces from multiple devices. It has macros but I have yet to try it.
As far as i am concerned just the wow factor of being able to change the channel in a bar while a isheep scratches his head makes it all worth it

It is possible that developer can use front/rear camera to read IR remote and it can be learn. Look this app name 'Tester IR Remote Control"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.inforbit.remotecontrol
Someone will figure it out to put that feature in IR app.
Edited:
Learned that use your camera into negative effect, then you will see infrared light.
I don't know about this phone but most cameras have ir filters on the lens. I might be wrong but I highly doubt a camera could be used instead of an ir receiver. Cameras are set up to be used in the visual light spectrum, not above or below the frequency spectrum.
