I also have a 6506 and do not have any icon showing. I do however know the NFC is working as I have sent pictures between my XZL and my optimus G

Edit this line in the build.prop if you are rooted
ro.nfc.icon.enable=false
Change it to true then reboot and the NFC icon will then be there in the notification bar when turned on.

wonder why sony turned icon off. I tried to root the phone to change and somehow got boot loop. have to redo my phone...

the same with you.no icon

yes NFC is working with icon show on the top or not show on the top
I think problem is my lt29i because I try to send pic with gs3 it working just fine

I got boot loop when modify buildprop. Can you check?

Lol I actually like it like that, no icon. I leave it on 24/7 so it doesn't waste space in the notification bar.

any help??
As for the LED, that's a known problem. Samsung screwed some things up and the creator of Light Flow is working on a fix. I believe that CM9 and CM10 don't have this problem?

The LED notifications in CM9 are actually pretty derpy at the moment.
When I was on stock, Google Voice would leave the LED on until I read my text or cleared the notification, and CM9 does the same thing too.
When I get an SMS through my regular phone number, sometimes the LED flashes, and sometimes it doesn't, it all depends.
Okay thanks for the light situation, what about the build versions? Does your match?
I see lots of people have a LED problem , I haven't even experience a problem one.

mine is same as yours. I noticed that because on my second gs3 on the box and on the plastic when you first open the case it had a stick that said UPDATED. the original one that I got in the store just had the normal $50 restocking fee sticker. the first phone i got from the store does have a different build number from the one I got from customer service online. I just thought it was because the one I picked up at the store was a 16GB and the one I ordered online was 32gb... but that shouldn't matter the build number should all still be the same right??
If you get a text or email, led should work fine. But if you use gosms or Facebook, the led doesn't blink and also uses the wrong colors. That doesn't happen to you?

So from what I've gathered up online is that the ones that have the updated sticker has the update more for radio then anything else I do seem to have a lot better signal and data speed then the 16Gb GS3. So I guess everyone with the old build will get an update soon.

Does the slider status bar work if auto brightness is off?
I'm not sure what you mean...

With auto-brightness turned off in the display settings. Go up to the status bar with your finger and drag it left to right.

[Q] Lockscreen issue (?)

hello, I dont know if anyone is experiencing the same problem as i do, but whenever i change the lockscreen wallpaper to something black or gray -- the left side of the screen gives out some specs of white. and its weird since its only shows in the lockscreen, the homescreen doesnt show any of the white specs. im worried. is this a bug?
Yes, that really happens if you enable the ripple effect. I'm not sure if there's a fix for that already though.

Nfc broke?

I don't think my nfc is working. I tried doing the Google wallet mod to work and failed a few times so I gave up on it and restored my backup.
I haven't messed with the nfc feature before that but tried with a co worker today and it wouldn't work.
I could share through wifi direct but not through nfc.
I watched a YouTube video on it to make sure I was doing it right, but I noticed I don't have an icon come up in notifications whenever I enable nfc through settings.
I am running the h20 lk8 room
might sound like a condescending question, but did you turn it on? it's off by default...

Lol. Yeah, I did.
Anyone?
try looking at the antenna, does it seat properly? does it have something blocking contact? it's it dirty? if none of these are the case seek warranty reimbursement or change of phone

Maybe I'll just unroot and try it and if it doesn't work then get a replacement

Are you trying to transfer something from your device to another via s beam?

It's official, I'm going to unroot and try it. If it works I will root and try again. If not, I guess I'll take it back
Still doesn't work. Gonna go to sprint store and see if their demo phone has it working
Edit: their phone doesn't show the icon either. Didn't try using the nfc on it though

I have used nfc many times and I never see any icob light up. The only time you get an icon is after you receive a file through s beam letting you know the transfer is complete. Your not supposed to see an icon just because nfc is enabled.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
does it make the blurp sound when you touch it to another nfc phone? also remember unlike the S3 the CENTER of the phone is not the touch point its the top half. the range is EXTREMELY short (many times under 1 inch) so you do need to touch with "some" precision.
also make sure SBEAM is also turned on (thats what is uses to nfc file transfer)
you don't transfer via NFC you transfer via wifi direct which is linked to sbeam and nfc handles the "handshake" so BOTH nfc and sbeam need to be on to do a file swap
like this

I think all share needs to be turned on. I just tried the other day.

[Q] NFC Icon not Visible after enabling NFC

Hi,
Today, i was just checking how the NFC works in my S4. i went to settings and enabled NFC, but i didnt see the NFC icon in the status bar..
after some searching i read some where that, T-Mobile S4 will not show NFC icon..
is it true? is it means that i can not use NFC payments? Sorry, i dont have much knowledge on NFC paymentes....
I am T-Mobile stock S4.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. Any way to get it back that icon? How we can make sure that we enabled NFC... any specific reason why the icon is not visible to users?

It's the way T-Mobile has it set.
You can go to your settings and check that NFC is enabled.
Or, change your build.prop to match that of the AT&T S4 and it will show in the status bar.

Just drag down the status bar and clear the notification. The icon will go away.

Sorry mate, I'll try to find a way to permanently disable that notification from statusbar. I used xperia mini before, and I think Saqib was the man to introduce it in his rom. I'll ask him about removing that permanently.
