Hello, I have just bought a S4 in perfect condition but I get no NFC logo on the status bar when turned on.
Is there anyway to check that NFC works?
Thanks.
Its normal not to NFC logo.
Just find a friend with an NFC phone and try sharing a photo of something. Or if you have NFC bank card or similar you can see if phone picks it up. You'll need to download an app from Play Store

So I received my Nexus 10 Today and have been playing with it for about an hour and a much as I love it, I have a weird issue.
When I try to send something, a picture or contact for example, by NFC, it opens the play store and fails to receive!
Any ideas?

The phone I am sending from is an S3.
The Nexus will receive webpages and YouTube links but when I send a picture, it opens up the play app store.
Confused!!

From settings turn off the S3 / Samsungs own version of photo sharing and turn on the standard android version. Sorry I can't remember exact names but I know the Samsung/Android versions of NFC Direct are different.

S-beam I think

Yep, S-Beam uses wifi direct, while standard NFC is Bluetooth.
I have tried that.
Unfortunately the S3 gives me the message "S Beam is off. Turn on S Beam and try again". The Nexus still opens up the play store!

I have just found a link on another site that says that because the S3 uses Wi-Fi direct and standard Android uses Bluetooth, it can cause a major headache! Does anyone know any way to permanently disable the S3 S Beam?

On my S3 I have the option to disable S Bean. Enable NFC and enable Android Beam. I would imagine this would enable it to work. Will have my Nexus 10 today but for now I'm just advising without any experience.

I have the options to turn S Beam on or off as well as Android Beam. Unfortunately it doesn't work in any mode.

Where are the NFC chips located on the device? I am having trouble locating them.

I have the canadienne version of the Samsung Galaxy s4 (sgh-i337m ) running on cyanogenmod. I've been getting problems connecting to wifi on it. My LTE is working fine but not wifi. When I go on Google Chrome with the wifi it's working. But not when I go to YouTube, Facebook, email, etc. I tried changing the host name but still nothing. I also notice that the wifi is normally blue and sometimes Grey but now it's only Grey. Can someone help me?

I think it's the rom. For sure Wi-Fi and cell are grey. Mine's like that too but no big deal because everything works. Not sure why you're having problems on the other apps though.

Maybe its because of the Samsung applications. They sync a lot.

Try turning off or disabling samsung apps. Are any sensors turned on? NFC?

There must be something done about it. Let me check every poat I can find.

My battery life has gone to hell since the 2nd 4.4.2 update on [email protected] last week. I was getty 36 to 48 hours every time. As soon as the new update went in things changed the next day. Now I am lucky to get10 to 12 hours out of it. I have started pulling app but nothing has worked.
The battery drain on my once perfect S4 is now worse then on my LG Thrill!
Some things that helped control my battery in Kit Kat
In KitKat Google changed how location services works which seems to cause a lot of the battery drain issues. If you have Wi-Fi turned off during sleep, apps are likely trying to get your location using GPS which will easily drain your battery. It seems like even with Location Services is turned off that some apps can still continue to try and request location. Personally I like using the location services and that many apps use in Android so completely disabling wasn't an option for me.
I've played around with it quite a bit myself and found these settings have helped me::
-Leaving Google Location Services on at High Accuracy has been better on my phone's battery life.
-Leave Wi-Fi always on if it's available. (Use something like Llama or Tasker to automatically turn Wi-Fi on and off.)
-Setup My Places in Locations that correspond to Wi-Fi, etc
-Try uninstalling/reinstalling updates to Google Search, Google Play Services and Google Play Store
-Go through your apps and uninstall anything you aren't using or is not from a reputable developer. A lot of apps seem to have keep awake and location permission enabled by default that don't need it. You won't see these apps in the battery screen because they hide behind tiny wake lock requests and Google Play Services.
Another tip for saving battery is to use LLama or Tasker to disable Account Syncs any time you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network.
Good Luck and Cheers
Hi,
Just updated slimkat on my note 2 and just discovers I can't turn on the location settings (neither Wi-Fi or gps).
How can find out what the issue is?
I sent the phone to change a cracked screen and I hope they didn't do further damage..
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks a lot!

Whenever I say OK Google it doesn't work even though the hotword detection is ticked on. I know its common and i've read other sites that theirs dont work as well on their galaxy s4 no matter the unit. I compared to my friends GT-I9300 and his works fine.
Im just wondering if anyone has an idea when they will fix this?
