Hi All
Can anyone tell me where the aerial for the NFC is located, i thought it was on the back of the battery cover but ive seen some sites saying that its located on battery?
i want to get a second battery and im concered it might not have the aerial on it
Thanks
Pete
Hello Pete. It is in the battery cover, not the battery.

anybody know what the pins on the back of the battery cover are for? it looks like what you would find on a phone capable of inductive charging. if so, anybody figure out how to do it?
They act as an antenna, dont **** with them
hmm ok. ill have to try it with the cover off to see its actually the antenna but ill take your word for now.

it does when i was playing with my phone without the backcase on i had no service
I only get 2G service when the back cover is off. I think it has something to do with the antenna as well.
I actually was wondering what the pins were for. I just took my back cover off and immediately dropped all signal.
thats kinda weird to have an antenna in the back cover. maybe they plan to release a new back cover that will improve strength? i cant seem to understand why.
Its just the design. And it saves space on the device.

inductive charging would be great for our phones, i know the palms do it!
So anyone want to do the palm pre inductive charging hack. I think it has been done on a hd2

HTC states that the battery cover of the aria is the antenna on their website under troubleshooting:
My device shows “No Service” but I know that there is coverage at my location. close
The antenna for this device is embedded in the battery cover. If the battery cover is not installed correctly, securely affixed, or if it has been damaged, this could be the cause of the device not picking up on a signal.
You can find this on www(dot)htc(dot)com/us/support/aria-att/help/phone

Hey Anyone know what those connections are for, on the back of the phone behind the battery cover?

Lol I asked the same quesion when I had my evo. I believe these are for antenas for when the phone was being tested. You can hook up some antenas same you hook up antenas to a laptop wifi card.
Yep antena hook ups, don't try and use them though, I've heard of people not getting signal back after trying an extention.

Hey guys,
I bought the official Samsung battery with the NFC antenna and now my NFC won't work.
Do you have any idea how to get it to work again?
Is anyone else having similar problems?

are you sure its not a fake?
I bought two of the supposed real ones too. They had Samsung logos and even said NFC on them. Every part of the packaging was the same on the battery except the fake was made in Hong Kong the real in Korea. I M okay with the battery however, it is what it is as for $20 I got two backups and an external charger
it came with the cradle-charger so I don't think it would be fake.
I noticed that some galaxy nexus users were having difficulties with using the NFC function when swapping their batteries..
the only solution for them was to do a factory reset..
For those of you with an extra battery , could you check to see if both of your batteries work with NFC please?

Thats a fake battery, if you want I can get a whole lot of those batteries stickers from china.
So where did you buy it from? I have my hand around my crystal balls and I predict Ebay.

lol, did you buy from amazon directly or a seller on amazon? i have known sellers on amazon selling fake crap trying to pass them off as genuine. but put your original battery back in and check if nfc works to test i suppose. i don't see why changing the batt should stop nfc working as it only contains the antenna and not the nfc chip.

I put in my original battery and the NFC is working fine.
I then tried the new battery again and the NFC works too!
I have no idea what happened... I guess it was just a little glitch..
THanks for all your replies guys, much appreciated!
I had to buy the extended battery for my GNex replacement since it was my 2nd upgrade phone due to issues and I'm wondering does the extended battery have an NFC chip in it or what? I'm going to be really pissed if it doesn't have it and need to buy one that does have an NFC chip in it. I bought it from Verizon in store.
It has NFC

Yes it has it....pretty sure the box mine came in said extended battery w/ NFC chip. Could have been wrong...but pretty sure the box says it right on front.

Box never mentioned NFC on it and the back was a PITA to get on so I don't want to take it off to check the battery to see if it said it. I swear, that back cover came with a few bent pins right out of the box and made for a really hard time getting it installed perfectly.
As mentioned, it does have it. If the extended battery cover is a pain, put the stock one back on. That's what im using with the extended battery.
They just sent me the phone itself, no battery or cover. Had to buy the extended battery and cover.
I think the nfc is in the phone, the battery has to have the antenna

I was wondering if there's a place that we can get replacement battery for Nexus 5. Since the battery cover of our phone is really easy to take off, so I guess some of us will need at least 1 replacement battery in the near future. So if you know a trustworthy place to buy battery please let us know. Thanks in advance.
