Hi all,
As we know, only the i9195 has NFC built-in. I did notice though that the battery actually has the NFC inside. Therefore what would happen if I got the NFC battery from i9195 and placed it into a i9190/i9192?
I gather it would not work as there would be some more internals actually in the phone itself to make NFC work?? Simply the battery has the NFC chip inside from a design point-of-view to make the NFC work more efficiently.
Regards,
Unbelievable
Yeah it probably wouldn't work

So it was definitely a mistake on my part getting a used phone that had some incident on its rear. It seems like the entire cover melted away and thats why it didnt come with one and well now, i figured out the gps doesnt find any satellites.
So my question is: if i get a parts phone (say a broken screen but the rest intact) can i just take the two phones apart and replace the GPS component or is that impossible?

BUT instead of that
I also started searching for an "external gps antenna" to just put into my car and leave it there since other than that my phone is awesome
I don't know the answer to your question.
But if I were you, I'd be very concerned about using that damaged battery!
Replace the Battery...
I also recommend replacing the battery. As for external GPS: As long as your bluetooth is working, try one of the Holux GPS receivers. I have one and it works perfectly with my Palm T|X and my Dash phone.
I purchased the Seidio 3800mAh battery with NFC (for Verizon) a few weeks ago and I actually really like the battery life it's given me. I never had much of a chance to try out the NFC until recently. I bought a few NFC tags to start playing with but found that the battery wouldn't read any of the tags I bought. The OEM batteries worked fine, even through the cases.
I was finally able to get the 3800 battery to pick up the tags, but only after removing the case and the back and putting the tag right on the battery. Even then, it was hit and miss if it would pick it up and properly read it. I contacted Seidio and they sent me out a new battery, thinking it was a defective unit. Unfortunately, the new battery has the same problem.
I even went as far as to purchase another set of tags, variety pack with different sizes. Only the really large stickers seemed to work consistently. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the Seidio 3800 batteries?
It could always depend on the software that you are using to read the tags. Check with the developers and see if there has been any testing done with the model battery you have. I know that the pin-pads at CVS, Cumberland Farms, and Walgreens will give me a read with Google Wallet without having to purchase anything.
naa its nt kinda weakk.. probably if u dnt do heavy multi tasking

Not using any specific software to simply read them....Just whatever is built in to the OS.
I'm having the same problem with mine. Sent it back on an RMA, and the new one has the same problem. I can't get it to read any of my NFC tags, whereas the stock battery works like a charm.
I'll try it with Google Wallet, but I'm not too hopeful.

I have gotten some tags to work, but they have to be the really big ones. The smaller tags just don't register. I bought a starter pack of tags that had some 2.5" x 3.5" sticker tags that seem to work really well. Not exactly the solution I was hoping for, but it works.
Does this battery and cover fit the AT&T Galaxy S3?

All GSIII stuff should fit all versions. On the outside they are all the same from what I have heard.
From what I have read, and someone please correct me if I say something wrong here, I believe the OEM batteries also contain the antenna for NFC. So, unless you don't care about that, you would want to make sure any replacements also have this.
I must admit, after the initial novelty of the NFC stuff wears off, if I find that I am not using it, I would consider A larger capacity battery.

Can't be in this case, as Samsung is selling a second battery with one of the chargers. That wouldn't work. (Not the the ATT one will have Google wallet anyway)

It is correct -- it's the same as the SGS II. The official Samsung batteries have components necessary for NFC to work. There are other generic batteries that work, but you'll lose NFC functionality.
Google Wallet is one, but since only Sprint has it, no biggie. But on the SGSIII things like the new S-beam use NFC, so if you don't want to lose this functionality, you'll want to stick with official Samsung batteries for the time being.
(Not aware of any generic batteries with the NFC components at the present time)
i would not ever use 3rd party battery...
not even sure how to use NFC . just touch a phone with nfc also and it works?

'cause unless it's a brand name/well known company (Duracell, Mugen et al) you don't know what you're getting- you can be burned literally and figuratively. Cheap isn't necessarily good or electronically safe. Li-ion batteries are dangerous if improperly made.
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

Hi guys,
I want to replace my battery. I have seen a few quides. Can someone tell me please what is the sticker that is attached on the battery itself that has the "X8 Mobile Computing System" on it? I am asking cause the majority of EX34 battery replacements don't come with that on. So, will it be easy to take it off from the original and put it back on the new one? Thanks!
It's the NFC antenna, be careful not to unplug it if you don't have to, and if you do make sure it's connected well afterwards. The adhesive is fairly strong so you should be good for tranferring it to the new battery, but be gentle removing it as not to tear the antenna
