so how does the tag thing work? do you buy tags, then when you get in your truck you just swipe your phone over the tag and it knows to pair with your stereo bluetooth? then you get out and swipe it again and you're bluetooth goes off to save battery? i'm sure nfc is a lot less battery consuming than having bluetooth on all the time

would definetly be nice as hell to be able to just swipe my phone on my truck somewhere, or on my front door to turn on my wifi and turn off mobile data... lots of cool uses, if this is actually how people use it

if so do you just get tags from amazon? or use old debit cards that no longer work? lol or maybe steal the security tags from stores?

It looks like it will take an external antenna too, i see pins like note 2

I've never used NFC, but I've been wanting to. If you have the tags you can put them all over the place to trigger different things. I don't think you have to swipe the tags, I think you just have to be in the vicinity. I would like to put one in my car, then make it so when I am in my car it automatically goes into hands free mode. I would love to automate everything, and the tags give you more ability to do that.

For my Galaxy S2, the NFC was built into the battery.

Спасибо

Thanks for the heads up!

All of the OEM batteries I saw on eBay were unpackaged, foreign sellers that I didn't trust. Any recommendations? Was hoping to have them on the Samsung site soon as I'm leaning for vacation in 2 weeks and would like a spare.

Do people even use NFC? What's it good for? Does anyone use Google Wallet or do any payment things with their phones?

Cant live without NFC. One of the main reasons i switched to samsung. I use it for home automation, such as opening the garage, door locks, turning on off all the lights of the house, triggering events and tasks.

my wife and I bump photos via NFC all the time. i use an NFC tag to set my phone for car use. every once in a while i see and NFC poster. NFC would replace QR codes so no need to open the bar code scan app. sadly, because apple refuses to adopt NFC, the industry that serves the idevices won't utilize it more. but apple will develop similar if not copied tech, make it proprietary, charge too much, and it will be revolutionary.

Just like finger print scanner. Does the payment function even work for the note3? I would use it if it did.

Metal battery door

The question is; what if I replace the original battery cover door with an aluminum one, will it block the nfc antenna?

I bought new battery and didn't know, that NFC antenna is in orginal battery. So after replacement I was surprised that NFC doesn't work. On Aliexpress I found NFC antenna for Galaxy Note 2 for about $1,5, free shiping. It was cheap so I bought it.
Today it come to me and I installed it. I needed to put something under connection dots, so they are little higher and have good connection with phone pins. And it works like a charm.



I know that this thread is very old but maybe someone will use this information.
And sorry for ma English

you used this on your note 3?

Thanks very interesting info, this is how the antenna should come, of course Samsung probably want to make it as difficult as possible to copy their batteries. I purchased a battery for a Samsung S3, the battery is not original, however, it stated on the adhesive cover "Near Field Communications" so at the time of purchase I thought good it has the antenna chip, however, my phone NFC didn't work, & after peeling back the adhesive cover sure enough NO NFC chip!! This is false advertising at it best.... SO TO ANYONE READING BE WARNED...

Nfc is a must .

I ordered a battery from aliexpress . But it had no nfc . Been looking for oem batteries but they are nowhere to be found. The battery I got gave me good battery timing on my Note 3 n9005 . So I bought 2 new batteries (I use spare battery charger and replace the battery in my phone when I need to , best thing I ever done with my note 3) from same seller . This time with nfc . Each one is around 10$ (with nfc)
http://s.aliexpress.com/NFbEjIvm

This one I bought earlier had no nfc . Batteries are same though
http://s.aliexpress.com/3eu6jmEz
costs 7$

Sharing it , if it helps anyone . I have good experience with it

Why bother with these. Anker sells a 2 pack, with wall charger for the spare, for a reasonable price. NFC definitely works and you're not risking getting a 1000mAh (or less) battery.

I purchased an extended battery from Anker on Amazon for not a lot of money. They also offer standard sized batteries as well. Both have NFC function working. Anker is one of the best moble battery companies. I have not had a single problem with mine, and I would recommend them if you want a well known brand.
