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.
This actually was just posted today...
NFC in notification bar

Just got my new Nexus today
But sometimes I cannot pull down the notification bar when in lockscreen
I have to restart the phone to be able to pull down the notification bar again
Anyone has similar experience?
Any fix?
I didn't think it was possible on the lockscreen to begin with
Sent by me, for me and i love you
Yes its possible in ICS.
Mine is working fine. So far. Do you have any widget on notification such as widgetsoid perhaps? But it should working though

Didn't know this was even possible.
I do have Widgetsoid yes, does that stop it working? Because I am unable to pull down the notif' bar when locked.
Well you could try to remove it see if that works. If yes then probably just minor bug on widgetsoid. I know some of the widgets are still not working on ICS

I too, was unaware of this option. Works fine on my GN LTE.
I believe if you have one of the more secure unlock methods active (PIN, face, pattern) it won't work. Believe it needs to be on slide to work.

Yep, only works on slide.
Thanks.
It's working now.
So weird...
Can anyone access settings through the notification bar when locked?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Only when you have no pin or pattern to unlock. So its not any less secure...
Anyone know of a good replacement for the lock screen on the GN? Say one which lets you launch messaging, phone etc from the actual lock screen?
After getting Jelly Bean, I noticed that the mobile data quick toggle was not in the notification center anymore. Is there any way to put this back on stock? I used that a ton.

Are you stock rooted? theres a link that themes the notification bar to blue and adds a mobile data toggle as well check it out if you're rooted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895880
check screenies
It's not even present in the 4.4.2 OTA update. I've been trying to find a mod or theme that is compatible with 4.4.2 so I can have a data toggle finally, but it only seems to work for the T-Mobile S4 and S5.
Google and your carrier want you to always stay connected so they just stopped making it so easy to turn off.

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

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
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
Anyone know what icon this is?
Appeared after the its lollipop update. All stock no root.

No, it's nespresso.( sarcasm) sorry about this one but I couldn't resist.
For the record it's nfc indeed.
Thanks guys. I don't think I've ever had it on before, so I didn't recognize it.
