Since there were people who were still asking questions about NFC I figured I'd throw together a quick video demonstrating real life NFC use. These are all real purchases (though I purposely kept the cost down lol).

Have you considered the dev broke nfc? Have you verified nfc works? Does your extended batery have an nfc antenna in it?

If you're using a generic extended battery that is most likely the problem, as I believe the antenna for the NFC functionality is located in the battery. If you are using the correct battery then it is quite possible that the dev of that particular ROM may not have it functional yet.
I use NFC all the time, alot more than I expected because of Wallet. Alot more places take it than you think and being able to add money to a prepaid card is cool too.
just wish there was a way to top it up internationally!

I'll never forget my first time I used it at a BP gas station to get smokes. The cashier did the WTF??!?!? Face expression when I took out my phone and paid for it. I tried to keep a straight face until I exited the place than I bursted laughing lol. I should have recorded it.

Good vid, looks snappy. Cannot wait for this in the UK. Hopefully we won't have herpaderps behind the counter that don't understand that you can pay with your phone (and get funny about it), although sadly I can see this being a problem for a while
Another nice video of yours.

Thought it could be used here, haven't people been using NFC at McDonalds. A few years ago there was a huge trial of NFC in London. I'm sure the stuff is still in place there. (I have GWallet on My nexus here in the UK but never used it)
There's a large scale trial in Nice (France) where I live, and they sell NFC phones (a modified Galaxy S II among others) with the ability to add your credit card, pay your bus fare with your phone bill, know exactly when the next bus arrives by tapping your phone on the NFC tag at your stop, or learn stuff about monuments and landmarks by tapping your phone on a NFC tag placed on a glass pane. Pretty cool stuff!

Nice video! I used mine the first time the other day at a 7-11. I was concerned because I had put the new extended battery in and my OtterBox case on. Worked like a champ. I really like being able to pay that way. I recommend downloading the PayPass Locator app from the market to help find locations.
Two questions though, at Home Depot when it said to show your card what did the cashier do? Also, did you hit cancel when it said to enter the pin and run it as credit?

I had to explain to her that there was no physical card to show. I explained to her how NFC works and she still wasn't buying it lol. So I had to open up the Wallet app and show her the picture of the virtual card to further explain it. Finally she understood (somewhat) and let it go through....the funny thing was it was only a 34 cent purchase! lmao.

i have insurance. my phone got run over while i was biking and the screen is shattered and the screen will not display ANYTHING but the phone actually still turns on and lights up and i can odin and all that.
so is there anyway i can go about getting the phone replaced WITHOUT paying $100 to assurion?
any advice?
once again, phone seems to actually work fine but it is not functional in that the screen remains black and will not display anything, so a replacement is needed..
EDIT:
also phone is rooted so if i took it into a sprint store, should i odin stock, and if yes wouldn't it then show my odin count @ 1?
would they even bother checking for root if the phone's screen was dead? is there any chance of me getting the phone replaced free of charge or cheaper then via insurance?
1. Get a car.
2. Run over somebody else's phone.

You pay 10 dollars a month for insurance for these types of problems. If you don't want to use your insurance why pay for it? There is no way around it. No need to Odin anything. Just be happy you had insurance and pay the 100.

I think there's no way around the $100 because its physical damage caused by you.
Root won't matter because its a hardware issue.

You had an accident- insurance is for accidents- they wont be looking for suspicious Roms when a phone looks like it was " run over by a car " ..be glad you have insurance- ask for a new phone- dont settle for a refurb. if you can help it. ( refurbs are usually fixed phones, prior lemons, or returns-) and last thing- cry the blues !!!! get their sympathy- maybe if its a hot sales lady, you might even get her number.... no- but seriously- use a bit of drama to get their compassion....

She just called me and told me the Redmond store line was "out the door, down the sidewalk, around the corner into the parking garage. Probably 200 people" (her words).
I'm just assuming it's for the Note 2. She never actually got out of the car. She did say they were all holding pieces of paper though.

So my best friends HTC one was stolen at gun point and he switched his service back over to an old iphone and we were wondering if verizon could do anything about it or there are any apps to find it. For some reason lookout wouldnt find it but it did take a picture of the guy who stole it because he put in a password wrong 5 times. If anyone has any suggestions just let me know.

Thief would have to get it unlocked and on WiFi to locate now. Cell data went back to the old iPhone he said. So the op's friend is likely screwed.

unless you dont secure your device. I dont have a passcode unlock on my phone, but I've been trying to get tasker set up to turn it on when I leave my house, or some nfc tag to lock it when I leave
If it was still active there is an app in play store called Plan B where you could push app to the phone and get GPS location from it but as stated, if service was disconnected this won't work.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2
That's horrible.
Android Device Manager works pretty much just like Apples Find My iPhone. It allows you to locate the device on a map and remotely wipe it.
However, with the One you have to actually go into the settings and enable it.
Unfortunately, as others have said, even if it were enabled, your friend has already turned the service to the One off, so the only way I can see would be if the One connects to a WiFi network.

So instead of giving him the phone and going home to your family you will try to draw your weapon and either kill someone or be killed? All for $600? The lawyer will charge you 50x that just to get you out of the slammer. Give the guy the phone and go home and hug your kids, your wife, your mother or all of the above. Use the gun for target practice.

The minute someone draws a weapon on you, your life is gravely in danger. You respond according by handing over your belongings and tucking your tail then ending up in the paper because they raped your girlfriend in front of you, stole your phone and executed you. I prefer just to end the altercation with my 45. I'll take court over that.

What reason do you need to give the driver? Is there a specific process or something?
"I do not want it, take it back"
I'm on the process of this too. I canceled my pre order was given a cancelation number and was promised the phone wouldn't ship. Well low and behold my bank account has been charged and over drafted now since I bought it yesterday in store and the pre order note 3 is on its way to my home right now.... I've instructed everyone at home to not sign anything and to refuse the package. If they leave it at the door I'll take it to ups and return to sender.....gosh what a bunch of crap.

Same here , they said my pre-order was on back order for 10 days and i did the same thing by cancelling it and got the same text yesterday that it shipped. Bunch of morons that work for T-mobile i would have just waited if i knew it was going to ship yesterday
I'm in the same boat. I cancelled my preorder on 10/1 picked the phone up in store 10/2 and received a tracking number this morning.
The tracking number said it would be here by 4:30 which it's now almost 5:30???

Why are you guys not wanting them? I ordered one yesterday with the zero down deal, and it shipped yesterday too. It's scheduled for delivery tomorrow by UPS. You all have me wondering why. Is UPS doing something to the phones? Should I be worried?
Careful some drivers are shady and if you give it back they can say they gave it to you and keep it for themselves to sell. I would personally take it back and have something given to you as proof of the return like a receipt or something to cover your ass.

register an ups account and add the tracking to your account. then request the package to be picked up at ups store.
contact tmobile to let them know you refuse the phone. that way it never leaves ups and tmobile can't make **** up since it wasn't even opened/delivered to you.
