Hey guys, I just want to know if u could take out the nfc antenna from a stock battery to put into another battery. Like a Seidio or any eBay battery?
Send, Finally From Lte Galaxy Nexus
No. Official NFC batteries have 4 pins (1 dedicated to the NFC in addition to the antenna). The fake/eBay batteries have only 3 pins. Just buy an official Sammy battery if you care for NFC.

So after ordering two 1900mah spare batteries from ebay I found out that the antenna for the NFC chip is located in the battery. The replacement batteries I ordered do not have the antenna, neither do any of the other batteries I've seen. So I went to the source Samsung.com and they aren't available for the GSM version only the Verizon version batteries were being sold. So where do I find a GSM extended battery? Or any battery with the NFC antenna inside? As for the batteries I ordered? I guess they'd be fine in a jam but to lose features like beam & NFC is unacceptable for the long haul. All feedback is much appreciated.

A seller named shimshop on eBay is selling 2000mah extended batteries that are genuine Samsung, with NFC. There are many threads mentioning this. I bought one as well.

here's the link,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12083246205...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4968wt_905
ships from South Korea so it might take 1-2 weeks for arrival
Something to consider is switching over to external USB batteries. Not only are internal batteries phone-specific (and obviously have NFC issues with the Galaxy Nexus), but there is an increasing trend towards using polymer batteries that are able to fit in unusual shapes but are not user-replaceable (easily). I've got a pair of APC UPB10s. They work with all four phones my wife and I carry, as well as my Bluetooth headset, a host of other devices, and I've got an adapter that lets me use it on my infant daughter's bouncer and swing. I can also carry it in my pocket without a cover (or fear my keys will short it out), I charge it via a mini-USB port (micro would be better, but I don't need a battery charger), and it has a 10,000mAH capacity compared to a spare battery running on the order of 2000mAH. The only downside is that if I'm out of juice I become tethered to it until I can recharge, but a little pre-planning lets me charge in my pocket and it still beats needing to power off my phone just to swap a battery.
Just something to think about instead of dropping more money on batteries you'll end up throwing away when you upgrade your phone.
I actually have three oem samsung batteries, 2 standard and 1 extended, and 1 third party brand at 1450mAh, i've also ordered, but not yet received yet a powerocks 7800mAh external battery.
i wont even need to change out the extended battery, or even use the external, so I dont know why i have all these.
Noticed them in a video -

The two contacts by the sim card are for the NFC antenna -
they line up with the contacts on the back of the phone.
What are the two on the right of the battery? Wireless charging?
I'd really like wireless charging actually. My USB port is a bit wonky on my Note 1.

NFC is built into the battery. Like the nexus and S3. Two pins are going to be for wireless charging, the other two I'm not sure about. Diagnostics maybe?

This was changed for the Note 2.
See:

See the text below the picture of the battery:
The back peels off just like the Galaxy S III. You can see the massive, 3100mAh battery, and the microSD and SIM slots. Previous NFC Samsung designs, like the Galaxy Nexus and GSIII, put the NFC antenna in the battery, but here the antenna is built into the removable back, and there's a set of gold contacts connecting it to the phone.

I'm glad the nfc chip is not in the battery anymore, now we can go and buy third party spare batteries without having to worry about the nfc.

I'm in search for some spare batteries with NFC capabitlies I think. I'm not sure I've just read that the battery dictates if you have NFC or not? I'm coming from an iPhone 5 so this is all new to me.
A charger that can charge two batteries would be cool too.
I've looked around the now-closed wireless charging thread and looked up a few of the products there, but I'm still at a loss for what to go for when I need a QI inlay that's available internationally, doesn't mess with NFC, and will work with the 3000mAh official Samsung extended battery.
Any suggestions?
bump.
Hi
Is there a case that supports NFC and Qi charging yet? Considering a swap from my Mate 20X but am too hooked on the monster battery life of this beast.
Thanks
Joe
Do you mean like a Zerolemon case? I know there is one that supports Qi but not NFC. It also makes it look like you're carrying around a giant brick.
Hehe yeah I don't mind a brick. An external battery case that lets be use Qi charging and NFC would be ideal but the NFC is the main goal really so I can use contactless pay
