Does the battery support NFC?

I don't know. I could check it but
I don't think NFC works on my ROM
And if it dident I personally would not care because I never used NFC . NFC or 2x battery.... Id choose 2x
Quick note the battery is quite big and it comes with ( I think) a nice phone back case. Its VERY secure and it protects the camera lens (kinda)

You say you just got it so I'm assuming it's not conditioned yet so that 4 day battery life will soon drop to it's actual capacity

I've heard it both ways but in my experience it slightly decreases after about 3-4 complete cycles.

4 days?! I'm convinced people don't even use their phones.
I'll be happy if I get 12 hours from it.

Is it possible to get some pics? How much thicker does it make the phone? I like the slim profile of the S2 and I don't want to feel like I am carrying around a huge flip phone, or one with a sliding kb. Thanks.

Q. about High Capacity Gold Battery

I've found this High Capacity Battery on eBay.
What I don't understand well is they say: "Compatible With Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250(No NFC)".
Why do they specify "No NFC".
I'm wondering what it has to do with the battery? Is is voltaje/mhA thing? Is it a battery format (size) thing?
I have actually no clue. I thought all GNex had NFC, isn't it te case? Mine has the checkbox to enable/disable NFC but I haven't ever used it, so I don't even know.

Nfc is built in the battery.

Any legit extended battery 2000mah or higher that wouldn't bulk the back panel to much?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Extended Battery Under $20

Looking for a cheap extended battery or more then 1700mah that original samsung is ... what i need it to have is
Not a big back the whole p oint of this phone is to be slim!
cheap, under 20, if anything under 25 i just hate how crap the battery is on this phone with a bit of usage D:
nfc is nto a factor
so yeah what would you guys recomend? i dont want to upgrade yet because honestly nothing is worth it right now, the n4 is sold out, and my cousin has it, and it doesnt seem different + i dont like LG .. the S3 is not worth it ... *just naming devices that would get support from community with roms* so yeah which is the best battery guys if you cant post links ot ebay or what not you could pm them to me

If you have a cdma Nexus, the anker battery from amazon is pretty good and about 10$ and fits under the stock battery cover

Get an official samsung oem 2000mah battery with back (only slightly bigger). They can be had from ebay for like $30. I got mine for $20 luckily and it lasts all day.

Best "Case" So Far

OK, a little tongue in cheek here.
Below is the case that I have used since getting my N7 at Best buy on their accelerated launch day. I was in Vegas on business, took a cab over to the closest Best Buy (shout out to the guys there on Maryland Parkway). Was fairly disappointed like a lot of us that there were no cases available. Got back to the MGM Grand hotel and spied my "case"; a hotel hand towel! :laugh:
Been using it ever since, certainly is a conversation starter!
Still waiting on the "in stock" http://dx-box.com/myriann-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html from DX-Box. Different story, been almost a month.

Your link says that case is in Stock?
