Because the Galaxy SII has enabled the nfc in other countries, like here in Brazil? Its enable?

You could try to find a NFC-enabled battery for your S2 and / or ask in the S2 forums.
I think s2 dont have nfc

The battery adds the nfc-antenna. Not the nfc-chip. GS2 with nfc chip in 6 countries, as far as I know. Not in Brasil.
At www.nfc-phones.org more info.
What's the model # of your sgs2? For instance I have NFC and the i-9100p does as well. There are some other variants of the i-9100 that are basically p versions. Do you have any RFID or NFC passport etc. That you could try and use it to read some info off it. Obviously it won't give you vital info off a credit card w/NFC or what not but you will pick up some information. And yes you need the NFC battery, first place you should look is on the battery it will say NFC towards the top.

hey frends...
i know this thread wont hurt your feelings... i just wanted to know some basic info as i dont have this mobile im asking your help before i buy this mobile...
one of a seller want to sale his mobile.. but he doesnt know how to check his mobile model no, i told him many ways.. Actually i found him from a website named OLX which is familier in India for sale and buy.. he as written in OLX website as he own a mobile new brand clean with no single scratches GALAXY NEXUS.. he advertised as GALAXY NEXUS... bt i know many user frm india as no idea wat is galaxy nexus s and galaxy nexus ..
when i ask him abt model no he sais its i9259xwkl2.. what mobile model is it ?? is that international GALXY NEXUS or verison or sprint ??
Bump it up ... need an answer
i9259xwkl2 does not exist so far as I can tell. It's more likely i9250xwkl2. i9250 is the GSM Galaxy Nexus. Try searching for the model # for more info.

The text of the article only mentions the i9250
Is that mobile is a GALAXY NEXUS GSM?

If it's sold anywhere other than the USA it'll be the GSM model. In the USA there are two models. Make sure to get the GSM and not the CDMA if you live outside the USA.
Okay.. Thanks!!! Lemme know what price is in USA? n even can I know wat d difference interms of screen between Galaxy nexus and SIII?

I believe most models (US) shipped with NFC, but most carriers (in the US at least) disabled it.

I believe T-Mobile was the only US carrier not to disable NFC. Although it should be enabled AFAIK with ICS updates for other carriers if the hardware is present.
Ok wait wait, let me clarify.
i9100 = NO
i9100P = YES (it's an i9100 exactly, but with NFC. ROMs for i9100 will work, but need to be modified to show NFC settings, otherwise no NFC options will show)
i9100G = NO, it's completely different from the i9100 hardware (TI-OMAP instead of Exynos). ROMs from i9100/P don't work.
T989 (T-Mobile GS2) = YES, but it's completely different from the i9100 hardware (Snapdragon S3 instead of Exynos). ROMs from i9100/P don't work.
i777 (AT&T GS2) = YES* , stock ROMs disable it. ROMs from i9100 work because they're the same phone (it's really an i9100P because it has NFC) but you need to modify button layout or the buttons won't work in the ROM.
D710 (Sprint GS2) = NO
thank u guys, i'll buy european i9100...
afaik, european S II GT-I9100P comes with NFC ... so if you want a european NFC version, you could try to find a GT-I9100P (e.g orange in France and TIM in Italy ).
...not sure which roms will work ....perhaps the same as on the GT-I9100T ...

Hmm, I think there is a nfc version for Europe -> the P version AND an Australian version with nfc- > the T version.... :what:
And Btw. AFAIK they changed the naming of the i9100G to i9100 in April/mai... Because nobody wanted a I9100G.... What a mess!

So my question to you is if stock roms disable NFC on the i777 then why did my box say that it is NFC equipped and I was able to use it stock?
On my Australian T model it is not supported(doesnt work) but my P model is and (i9100)my standard one has no nfc

my sgh-i777 has no indication of NFC on the box and was unusable stock. It does say "Near Field Communication" on the battery but I was only allowed to read some tags with a custom rom a while back. I'm on AOKP now and haven't tried anything with NFC as I gave up on it a while ago.
Is NFC fully functional on your i777?

The i777 is really an i9100P (European I9100 with NFC). So yes it should fully work on a ROM that supports it.

My sgh-i777 obviously came with it but turned off from carrier att. But I've been using nfc since gingerbread a dev entropy got it working back on 2.3.4 release from att. However the problem we do have is the lack of secure element which is why we can't use Google wallet for instance. Theirs been alot of debate over the secure element factor but besides that its fully functional.

There's no debate; it needs to be there or Wallet won't work. End of discussion. Any other NFC stuff should work.

Great info.
My brother just got the Nexus 7 and I was able to Beam a site I was browsing on chrome to him (I'm running AOKP btw). So it does work
But he tried to beam me a picture and it said the other device doesn't support receiving large files via beam ?
So now I know that my nfc works, what cool things can I do?

Pretty much anything else that newer NFC phones can do, except Google Wallet because that requires a separate chip called a Secure Element. NFC itself is a very slow, weak protocol. You can beam text easily, which is probably what happens when you beam something like a URL. But beaming a picture would take a looooot of time and power. So I think what happens is the NFC chip initiates a Wifi-Direct (Wifi-to-Wifi) or Bluetooth transfer.
Try buying Samsung Tectiles and using the app to trigger actions with NFC.
Hiya there! Just bought Note II and been wondering what GPS/Glonass -chip it uses. It's not on SoC so it must be an separate chip.
What kind of a Chip it is? SIRFStar III/IV/? or something even more wonderous?

Don't get me wrong, I think Xiaomi makes great phones, but I would rather buy something that is officially sold in the US & Europe, because that kind of ensures that there will be developers who speak at least english.
I would not want to go through the hassle of finding my way through a chinese forum where no one speaks english and I have to use the godawful Google Translate to even get a glimpse at what is being said.
I wouldn't waste my time. You are used to a certain level of polish and dev support since you use a nexus. Regardless of what specs this xiaomi has it will still not be on the level of stability and overall usability of the nexus.
how much n where?
Just get it and sell it for more over here?

If you are using the factory battery you should be fine.
I believe the NFC antenna is part of the battery, I have three batteries and two nfc works and with one it does not. So I am pretty sure that is correct, but if you have a factory battery that should not be your problem.
I have used CM 10.0 and I am currently on SlimBean nfc worked on both for me.
