I am going to get the att note 2 and want to know if there's a NFC chip in the phone or the battery. With the Galaxy nexus you had to use OEM batteries for NFC to work since NFC was built in the battery. I want to by backup batteries and found ones on Amazon from anker and Hyperion that say NFC compatible .I am assuming the chip is in the phone itself since the flip cases have contact points in the back cover plate.

The chip is in the phone, the antenna is in the cover.

Just got my sprint gnex today and I am wondering if anybody knows of the highest charge extended battery that doesn't involve replacing the back cover.
Also NFC support is a must.

well there is a 2100 extended battery that comes with a new cover, but you can't even tell the difference and NFC works

Where?
If the Sprint battery is compatible with the Verizon battery then Verizon sells the 2100mAh for $25 at a store.

I don't have one either, but I think what's not compatible (without slight modification) is the Verizon back cover. I think the Verizon OEM battery would work fine on the Sprint device, otherwise.
Would be nice if Sprint launched with their own back cover and extended battery options.

The battery is a little larger than the 1850mah version that comes with the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. However, the back cover doesn't fit perfectly. You'll have to use a nail clipper or something similar to cut off the 2 small plastic nubs to fit the Sprint phone. There is a little bit of a flex on the cover where the nubs were cut, so unless you have a phone case, like a Cruzerlite case, I would not recommend using this battery/back for the Sprint version of the Galaxy Nexus. It's not major though, so it's possible to live with it if you're not really picky about the fit not being perfect.
The original back cover for the 1850mah battery will not fit with the 2100mah battery.

Wonder if samsung might make one for sprint?
Can someone tell me where exactly is the NFC chip located in the s3 and also why is NFC written on the battery? I have read somewhere that NFC is located in the battery but is that possible?
Thanks
The NFC antennae are located on the back of the battery.

The NFC capabilities of the phone are in the battery. This is why if you are looking to buy batteries online for the SIII you will see some of them have NFC and some don't.
Just out of curiosity, why ask?

I was planning to buy a replacement battery so wanted to confirm it once. So you tell me that if the battery is replaced with a normal battery, NFC wont work right?
Also one more thing, how does data transfer happen thru the battery?

there are extra contacts for it. there is also a foil antenna under the cover of the battery much like what is inside of an nfc tag
I replacijg the back cover of Note2 and suddenly realised that the NFC tags are no more working. I located the NFC chip at the back of the original COVER. I then opened my S3 and there was nothing a NFC chip located in the back cover of this phone. Is it really through the battery? Why NOTE 2 misses out on this feature?

I think it is we who are missing out on the feature. I'd much prefer the nfc chip in the back cover rather than the battery. Nfc enabled batteries are really expensive.

Be carefull with other then original battery covers. I bought an aluminium one from ebay and the nfc signal wont get through it
I'm thinking in getting the Galaxy Nexus, price is nice.
I'd buy this version "Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB" that is GSM, which extender battery will work why that model?
I understand that the i9250 is not LTE, so, I cannot use the LTE extender battery from Samsung?
I'm confused, please help me!
Best regards.
That is correct. The battery door and shape are very slightly different so they are not interchangeable. Samsung has an OEM extended battery you can buy on eBay with shipping from South Korea.

Wow, thanks for your email.
That OEM extended battery fits in the stock backcover?
Do you have a link for buying the battery? (Amazon or Ebay)
Thanks!

The OEM extended battery does not fit in the stock back cover. If you buy one it should come with its own door.

Yeah. The bottom the the stock door bends in towards the phone. The new one will follow the curvature of the bottom of the phone, making it as if the battery door was just part of the back. Find pictures to see what I mean.

I have then official extended battery for my gsm nexus. Definitely worth it I think. Should have just came with the phone.

Thanks for all your replies.
Do you have an amazon or ebay link where I can buy that OEM extended battery?
Does it include the back cover?

I don't see it in Amazon
Instead of using an extended battery I use a pocket USB charger. My phone is connected by a USB to the charger which is in my pocket. The charger holds 5000 mah so I can use it for any least 3 days.
Also it was for only $30 at future shop so it's a good deal.

im trying to find a practicle portable usb charger but they are all too big and require u to carry around a cable to plug it in. which one did you buy? sounds pretty insane if its small and fits in your pocket with the phone AND packs in 5000mah. did u mean 500mah?

Too bad that doesn't ship to India.
Any other sellers that ship extended battery with cover for GSM model to India?
i was wondering if anyone knows if the international galaxy note 2 battery cover will fit the US version? I seen a nice black leather cover on ebay and i want it, i noticed the international versions dont have the NFC prongs but i can do without that for now
Yes, just your nfc wont work.

The international stock back does have nfc. The cheap ebay aftermarket parts don't

Think these are just as good as the Official Samsung 2000mah ones? I was also wondering if they were any bigger than the stock one if anyone has these.
It'll fit without another battery cover, you'll just lose NFC.
Why though? Isn't the NFC card above the battery?

The NFC Antenna is in the actual battery. That's how they fit the extra power into the same size of the stock battery, they take out the NFC antenna and make the actual capacity bigger.
