hey guys im in stock rooted with stock recovery on mdl and the NFC feature doesnt work with any phone i try with and S3 a note 2 and also with the HTC one and nothing.! and the other phones works perfect with each other
Stock rooted here...no issues with NFC between my S4 and my wife's Note 2. I do have to find the sweet spot by moving the phones until nfc connects.
Both phones are rocking otterbox commuters too

I was trying to S beam some stuff over with my note 2 to my new s4 but couldn't make it work. I've done it many times with friends with the S3. So I took out the back case of my black S4 and I didn't see the NFC sensor that my note 2 has. Anyone else out there know if its suppose to come with the NFC sensor or not.. Thanks.
Isn't the NFC included in the battery?

Yes its in the battery. Your battery should say "Near Field Communication" on it

The Note 2 NFC location is pretty high, put the S4 to the camera area of the Note 2 and it'll work just fine.
NFC Beaming
I was having the same issue this weekend with beaming things from my note 2 to my friends S4. After doing a lot of trouble shooting, i found that the S4 has to be inverted to beam. I know weird. the phones have to 69 to beam.

If the NFC is in the battery, does that mean it will be harder to find quality OEM batteries? Ya know, with the NFC being in the battery and all.

When you look around for batteries just make sure they say NFC included on it. I remember a good portion of the high capacity S3 batteries didn't have NFC and then I think Mugen or something came out with one. Just gotta read carefully.
Actually~
I believe this round's NFC is associated directly with the SIM.
I remember reading when ordering the device that it comes with the device and the NFC-ready SIM or some such thing, as compared to the battery or back housing like other devices had in the past.
Very odd this is..I was thinking the S4 had a diff kind of NFC, since it worked with S3 and not N2. Held it upside down. Worked...
So I guess the S4 and Note II have to perform 69 in order to beam stuff, huh?

U gotta place the s4 half way higher on the note 2 to get it to work. I transferred movies to my friends note 2 that way so I know it works. Only thing I couldn't get to transfer was music. Ive done it before on my s3 but the s4 wont. Its weird

SO much bad information being spread on this thread, I had to step in and help out.... the NFC chip is inside your phone, the NFC antenna is what's on the outside layer of your battery! Here's a good article for everyone here to read since no one has identified this correctly:
http://samsunggeeks.com/2012/07/03/nfc-explained-nfc-for-smartphones/#.UYP8o7WV9B0
Here's a link to what the antenna looks like under the battery label:
http://tamsandroid.tamoggemon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/nfc_battery.jpg
Your phone absolutely came with an NFC chip and an NFC antenna, let's not get too carried away because you either A) didn't have NFC or S Beam enabled on the S4, it's a different process than it was with the SIII, or B) weren't using it correctly!

No, the NFC isn't in the SIM. Some carriers are using 'special' SIM's which are used as some sort of secondary authentication for NFC transactions. I think this was to satisfy the banks and credit card companies. The actual NFC sensor/antenna is still in the battery.

I have problems with NFC, is not work.. i activated but not appear nothing in the notification bar, and i cant send or receive.
someboady help me.
Regards.
I was looking at the updates to the s4 and saw the update thinking that it was for the ee s4 with disastrous consequences. I now have the t mobile set up with my ee card. Do not have wifi just wont switch on and it has 4g in the Window where you would find the normal 3g logo. There are also a couple of issues. So my main question is where would I find the stock rom or the update to put it back to normal

Well it seems as though you cannot screen mirror with a rooted device. What I am looking to do is have movies play from my phone on my Samsung smart TV. I'd rather not get the cable if possible. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance

This is kind of a workaround but it should work. If you have a computer next to the TV or a laptop hook up a HDMI cable from the CPU to the TV. Use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awindinc.sphone2tv

Not sure. Stock MF9 with KT's latest kernel.
What does it do when you try? Is the option even available? Might be some framework changes preventing it.

Has anyone got this apk to work for the note 3? Is It Possible? I just want a tether apk that tells me the amount of data that's being used and this one is the only one I know of that does that correctly.

Which one? I can only get the native to work on my note three bypassing it with the hotspot toggle switch widget found on the market, but I rather use the a different one like open garden. but I have no luck making it work.
The apk wifi tether for rooted users. I used it on my Nexus

I found you can use wifi tether in native tether mode, but it resets the hot spot settings to default every time you turn it on. I, too, would like it to work properly because I like seeing how much data I use and the network speed.

Is there any risk in using native tether app? I am coming from tmobile, where they'd hassle you to get a tethering plan.

I don't think so. I use it pretty regularly without issues.

Hey all I was just wondering if anyone is having problems with receiving calls. It seems to happen more and more lately. What happens is the phone rings and I answer it but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The phone then disconnects. It doesn't matter where I am so I don't think it's a phone network problem. I travel all over the place as I'm a truck driver. It seems to happen more when connected to a Bluetooth device but now it's starting to happen when not.
I'm am rooted and at present running on stock. It doesn't matter if I'm on stock or a custom ROM it does the same thing. I'm really regretting getting this phone and ready to go back to my DROID RAZR MAXX HD. I like the phone its blazing fast but it has issues which I've asked about before. I bought this phone on the Edge plan and did line swapping to keep unlimited data. But I'm ready to throw it in the garbage or sell it real cheap. Or starting all over and leaving it unrooted and see what happens. Really wanted root so I could tether when ever I want. Any suggestions?

Looks like I'm going back to my Motorola and throwing this in the trash with the tech support and replacement device issues. This will be the last Samsung device I buy.
RAZR is a great phone. Sorry you had issues with the Note. Did you see this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680962

I sold my note 3 back in January because of connectivity and phone quality issues ... been really missing the spen, multiwindow and sceen size as of late. Was thinking about coming back to the N3 but then I see stuff like this and remember why I left [emoji20]
May grab a note 2 instead ...
