NFC on Non NFC phone

[Misterowl]

I was wondering if you can put in NFC into your phone like open it up and install the chip or whatever. Or like be able to plug it on to your phone thru the charger port. I also heard that SD-cards that can connect to wifi can that apply with NFC. if my question is stupid and ignorant feel free to say so. I dont want to impose or be a stupid noob.

Thank you.

I have a Inspire 4g (rooted)

P.s I think this is the wrong thread, I AM SOOOOO SORRY IF IT IS.

I dont usually post stuff.

No, you can't. There are some memory cards with integrated NFC, but they're very low storage capacity (1 or 2GB).

There are also NFC SIM cards... But I don't think they are commercially available. Yet.

IT will be possible..

I think they have magnets abouts the size of a credit card or smaller that will stick to the back of your phone.

I havent had a device with NFC yet, but it may be a must-have for my next device.

 

[anarchyuk]

you wont be able to install it via the micro usb or via the microchip on the pcb but the memory cards have a look here http://www.moneto.me/faq

I have nfc on my xperia s but no where in the uk has it installed for payments yet..

I think that UK is going to accelerate the implantation on the occasion of the Olympics.

Surely, a requirement for my next device will be leading NFC.

Hardware issue , i dont think this possible.

Yep, Barclays did that !

Just have to wait for other banks to jump in Barclays footsteps

Then, no need for Phone with embedded NFC, or SIM with NFC, ... !

Starbucks does and so do a number of Mastercard chip and pin machines just there is no payment app available in the uk yet. It was ment to be out for the Olympics but read that it was delayed

This is a cool feature but as a must-have for a phone? I don't know...

 

[DFCNightMareNL]

NFC is Near Field Communication right?

Thought it could be used for bluetooth alternative also.
(like phone to phone etc....)

Would love to have, but Desire S doesnt have it.

just wondering, whats the good side of NFC? i only see that as a battery drainer..

 

[Rakeesh_j]

Even if you managed to add an NFC radio to your phone, you won't get it to work with google wallet due to the lack of a so called "secure element" which secures the transactions.

They're going to implement that into SIM cards, many (most?) phones have one. Don't know about Google compatibility though, they talk about Mastercard standards.

After reading about NFC sim cards a few months ago I asked T mobile(UK) if they are going to be getting NFC sim cards any time soon, and the guy behind the till looked at me as if I was on crack

IMHO, the best implementation for this on a phone that does not have NFC pre-installed would be from the battery. It requires a hard connection to the circuitry to be powered...the easiest way to do that would be with an nfc-capable battery. The only pitfalls to this would be expensive replacements, slightly decreased battery life and possibly 1-2mm extra thickness to the battery itself. I think a ton of people would gladly take those small caveats to have NFC on a phone that shouldn't.

tjhe battery shopuld be the problem.. but after looking at this >> http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4576&idPhone2=4695

the question is, why nokia use same battery for a non nfc phone and a nfc phone.. (ps:NFC chip weight is at 3.5 Gram?)

so i think that the third party companies should work on this for say like extended batteries... and provide a market link or add a market app that would give the nfc chip in the battery to work as an example or a dev do so to make the google wallet to think it is a valid phone with use and nfc chip...

You can't use Google Wallet with phones that don't have it built in period. There's more than the NFC. There's a chip called a Secure Element that's separate and stores all of the information for cards, etc. The phone either comes with it or it doesn't.

Also for phones with batteries that have an NFC chip in them, that's just an antenna for the chip inside the phone. It does nothing in a non-NFC phone.
