Hi!
I have 2 devices : Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2. Both could read CC and passport NFC chips with the apps I have (and would identify the NFC chip with a audio feedback when present). I note that since I've updated both of these devices recently, they can't read the NFC chips on several NFC enabled credit cards I've tested, as well as on my passport.
They can still read other NFC tags easily... and even write them. Just credit cards and passports don't work anymore.
Wondering if this is something that may have been recently introduced in Android?
The S3 is running Kit Kat (Cyanogen Mod 11.0). The Note 2 is running a stock Samsung 4.3 (latest) but rooted.
Anybody notice something similar?
Ideas?
Gilles.

I would like to know what NFC chip is inside S4 mini: Broadcom (like S4) or NXP (like S3)?
Otherwise, can you read Mifare 1K Classic cards with S4 mini?
Thank you,
If im not mistaken its the same one as S4, but the mini's chip is located inside the battery.
Not sure about the class tags though.

It cannot read Mifare 1K classics, so it probably uses broadcom unfortunately

I believe the posts above yours answers your question?
if... ?
i have samsung galaxy s4 mini gt-i9190 (that doesnt have nfc) if i put on a battrey of the samsung galaxy s4 mini gt-i9195 (that have nfc) will it be enable on my device
Has a patch been made yet for the Note 3 that will allow me, if rooted, to use NFC when my screen off or at the lock screen? I bought some NFC tags and didn't realize it was a root feature. My old Galaxy S3 was always rooted and had a ROM so I didn't realize I needed root for it until now.
There is a thread in the generic Note 3 section with the mod you are looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479203
"Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition is powered by the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and is not compatible with other smartphones or devices. Currently, the Verizon version of Galaxy Note 4 is not compatible but will be soon, check back here for updates. Some high-quality gaming apps may require the use of an Android game controller to offer control capabilities in addition to the Gear VR’s integrated touchpad and tracking sensors." <http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearable-tech/SM-R320NPWSXAR>
Should we wait before buying the GearVR? Or would the ones on the Samsung website eventually work for Verizon Note 4's?
Well that's upsetting seeing how i purchased one and missed that little tid bit but i suppose ill just be holding onto it until it is supported or find anyway around it.

I just thought that bit of information was strange > _ <;; Hopefully it will work by the time you get it though o:
I guess I'm just hoping the incompatibility is in the software and not in the hardware but I'll find out I suppose when it arrives
Looks to be an update needed. I don't know where that puts me ,I have de version, and don't get updates. I'll have to wait and see if we can do the update ourselves or something

Hello
I am on SM-910V running 5.1.1 rooted/unlocked bootloader/ twrp installed and wanted to know if the SM-R320NPWSXAR is now compatible with Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Hello,
I'm new here.
Here is my question and issue which I can't find answer for.
My bank have a payment application which uses NFC technology but it requires Android 4.4 and up for it to work.
Galaxy Fame have NFC support right? But what about near field payments? Which ROM supports NFC and payments?
There is a Cyanogenmod11 by wulsic, its Android 4.4.x, I can't find anything about NFC, is it working or not on this ROM.
And what about Cyanogenmod12.1 by faizauthar12? It would be sweet to have NFC payments on this low-end device.
Anyone know something about it?
After moding for performance honestly, I'm really liking this little device now. Its kinda cute compare to 5.5" screen device
well :/
if i can found Broadcom device by samsung using NFC ,maybe it can
cuz,Grand duos,pocket,music doesnt have it
also
am using S6810 variant,which is the first version + without NFC
and S6810P have NFC support
Hi,
I try to figure out if last year's Gear VR is fully compatible with my new Galaxy S9 and get conflicting information on this topic. Some sites say that the Gear VR for Galaxy S8 (SM-R324) will work with the Galaxy S9, e.g. on Android Central:
"First, you can tell just by the look of the device. If the headset is black and comes with the motion controller, then it works with the Galaxy S8 and therefore will also work with the Galaxy S9. Second, you can check your headset's compatibility using your Gear VR's model number. You can follow our how-to guide to find your model number. If your device's model number is SM-R325 or SM-R324 then your Gear VR will work with the Galaxy S9."

However, there is an article on cnet.com that says:
"Samsung's newest phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, didn't debut with any new VR hardware. They do work with the Gear VR. However, they only work with the Note 8 model released in September last year, not the nearly identical Galaxy S8 version that debuted in March that same year. We confirmed this with Samsung. The issue is all about the fit.
Apparently, the design of the S9 is different enough that attempting to put it into an earlier S8-compatible Gear VR, released in early 2017, could damage it. Samsung advises using the Note 8 Gear VR, released in September 2017, for the best fit."

Has anyone tried putting a Galaxy S9 into a SM-R324 headset? I'm asking because the SM-R324 is more favorable than the latest model (SM-R325), but I don't want to damage my phone in the process.
Thanks for your help!
STOP! All you need is one of these!
Genuine Samsung Gear VR4 2017 SM-R325 Type-C Adapter/Connector - GH98-42239A
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C59BRLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zogbBb3MCJ5JM
A lot cheaper than a whole new headset! You will need a stanley knife or craft knife to shave a small bit of plastic from the adapter but this is easily done and will be apparent when you compare the old and new adapters side by side.
I had the same question just a few days ago searched on the internet for it but couldn't find anything about it apart from a tweet from samsung australia which confirmed that sm-r324 should work just fine. So i bought it anyway since it was only 30 euro's for me. That article of Cnet also made me hesitate buying the r324 variant but I've tried it and can confirm that it works just fine. It fits perfectly and does definitly not damage the device. So yes you can buy the r324 variant no need for the r325 version. At least for the normal s9 (not sure about the s9+ but doubt it's any different)
I have a sm-r324 that worked with samsung galaxy s9+ until I upgraded to android 10.
Now, when I plug in the phone Oculus does not start and all that I can see (if I open the app manually) is the picture in which there is the indication to insert the gear vr (but nothing happened).
I have uninstalled all oculus app and service and inserted again the phone into gear, then I heard the sound e installed again all the app suggested (default procedure).
Do you know if there is some trick to make reworking the gear vr or is it better to install again android 9?
Thanks
