Don't think so, that would seriously affect the security of the NFC technology. + I would think the NFC card is somehow encrypted.
So the phone will never replace the card right?

That is correct, unless the maker of your card have an app which would do the necessary function.

I talked with HID about this very issue. They are beta testing this technology with Blackberry phones right now. Look on Youtube for HID Global Pilot Arizona State. You will see what they are doing. HID says that the "credential" is put intot he "secure" portion of the OS that is not accessible. Each phone will have to be tethered and written to from some kind of software. So to answer your question, it is coming. Keep your eyes and ears open!!
Thanks

Does it? I'd hate to use radio apps for the Play store as it drains a lot of data and I only have a 1GB plan.
Does the Galaxy Nexus have an actual FM tuner?
Nope it doesn't.

How much radio are you looking to listen to? I use TuneIn Radio and it really hardly uses any data.
You could also get a hands free which have built in radio(like Sony's MW600).
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
Nexus phones don't ever have fm radios. They are out and it data phones, the camera is never that great either. The only reason the nexus one had it was that it had the same hardware as the HTC desire so someone was able to hack it into miui and then later CM6.

I'm not willing to use a radio-streaming app that uses data. Like I said, I only have a 1GB data plan and most of it is used up by surfing and quite possibly a few downloads. I have no extra space for something that maybe hardly uses data.
I'm all good now, though, as a coworker (in my summer job) lent me his second pair of a noise-blocking radio headset
Then you're screwed. I use TuneIn Radio too and I am like you with a small data plan but being that there is wireless at my destinations, it's never a problem. 8 hours of radio? Just go and buy yourself a radio fella.

I love listening to the radio when I work, and it was super kind of my coworker to borrow me his radio headset.
Do you not work with a PC? I listen to internet radio with headphones on my PC.

I don't work PC's, no, I work for my landlord doing various maintenance tasks.
Ah OK. The a portable radio player is better, I remember using my creative labs Zen when I didn't have this phone. It's got 2 inches of dust on it now.

Did you search? This has been covered multiple times before. USB Mass Storage does not, nor will ever, work on the GNex.

Google screwed android beam, i was super excited to learn android beam had been updated to share pictures and even videos on jellybean, but guess what? android beam just activates bluetooth! and you send pictures and videos using bluetooth they take ages to transfer , how come the galaxy s iii use wifidirect ( with their marketing name "s-beam" ) ? so silly
Isnt there a way to force android beam to use wifi direct instead of bluetooth?
WiFi direct is in there along with Android beam
Samsungs S3 brings all three
WiFi direct
Android beam
S Beam
-Google
My friend has a galaxy s3 and i have the gnex and we shared pics no problem, especially speed..

Is your friend's S3 running jelly bean?? I thought picture sharing was only available with Jelly Bean if you're using GNex's beam feature. I understand the S3 has S Beam but that won't work if you try to pair with a GNex, right?
Yep he is. You guys really should do research before creating forum topics.. Android beam uses NFC not Bluetooth. S-beam while yes using WiFi direct, the s3 also has the ability to share content through NFC.

Where is the Wifi Direct setting in JB? I don't see it.
Nvm...found it in the Wifi settings.
I have to agree Android Beam is stupid slow. It took almost a full minute to transfer a 2mb image from one GNex to another.

is your NFC even turned on? How about try going to settings>more>(check) NFC and you can see Andriod Bean via NFC
It is a chip stored in a battery do you expect it to take 2 seconds to transfer?
SwiftKey'd with my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Maybe not 2... but less than 10. 1 MB/s isn't unreasonable though so yeah, he probably does expect that.

Maybe you should do some research as well.
In Jellybean:
Android Beam uses NFC as a matchmaker and transfer for basic things like URLs. For images, it is a matchmaker for BT.
NFC initiates connection and BT transfers.
NFC is too slow to transfer images. Are you really going to hold your devices together while you transfer a ~3+mb image for that long?
Max speed for NFC (standardized) 424Kbps. Slowest is 106. I have no idea which speed the Gnex uses, but its probably NOT the top end speed.

NFC antenna is in the battery. Not the NFC hardware itself.

I've transferred several mb images in a few seconds from my Gnex to N7. However it is wonky. The matchmaking process has issues. It took me 4 tries to get it to work to my N7, and Gnex to Gnex, it hasn't worked at all.
And your point? A radio needs an antenna does it not? It's supposed to be used to share light files not megabits of files. It may not be much, but again were talking about something slower than Bluetooth.

Maybe you missed the features of Jellybean.
http://mashable.com/2012/06/29/jelly-bean-android-beam/
My point is, IT IS for transferring pictures but the transmission medium is not NFC like you said.
It uses Bluetooth.
Also, my point about the antenna being in the battery, not the NFC chip, is to correct your mostly wrong information in this thread. You can't be going and telling people to research while you post incorrect information yourself.
The SGSIII uses Android Beam with Wifi Direct and calls it S-Beam....so there has to be a way to do the same with the GNEX!
Btw when I tried transferring an image to a SGSIII, it popped up with an error about not supporting such a big file or something. But it transferred fine GNEX to GNEX.

Not without surgery. S-Beam uses wifi-direct as the matchmaker, Android Beam uses BT. It would likely take changes to the source code to fix it, and I don't believe Android Beam is completely open source.
Dear OP
You don' t say something sucks unless that item/services trully really sucks. In this case your GN since it's you that seems to have issues with it.
As far as Android Beam is concern everthing works fine. Perhaps it's time to get yours check?
Would like to take a sec to thank adrynalyne for clearing up misinformation all over these forums posted by people who have no clue what there talking about.

Yes! thank you adrylyne, perhaps people should make their own research before they say my nexus is broken lol , or that android beam doesnt use bluetooth to transfer files
Does anyone have a solution to being able to do this? It doesn't connect saying it can't get an ip address.
People say that it's because of the drivers put in on 4.2 (they are right it seems, I can get it to connect on a4.0 and 4.1 rom.)
Any sort of workaround other than downgrading. I'm tired of bridging it through my laptop

WiFi tethering should work.

I do it all the time and works good. Check your internet setting on the Xbox. I just have them set to auto. The NAT might not be open but it isn't strict either.

AOKP milestone 2. you can find it on their website. It is kinda old but very stable.
4.2 rom
I haven't been able to get a tether with my nexus on any jelly bean 4.2 or higher I've just decided to stay on 4.1.2 forever since this issue doesn't seem to be a focus of the devs
Yeah, I asked one Dev and he said that if its a problem with the drivers there is nothing they can do
