[Q] Quick question: NFC or wireless charging cover? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My back cover has it on the back cover. I thought AT&T wouldn't carry wireless charging built in? Or is it NFC I'm seeing?

That is NFC only

Does this mean the NFC chip is not in the battery?

[Q] Where is the NFC chip located?

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

[Q] Is the NFC built into the battery?

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.

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.

[Q] NFC Chips

Is it possible to replace nfc chips on note2 back cover? or like move it to another back cover case ?
Yes just be careful when using a razor blade or sharp knife when cutting it out. A few people have reported successfully transferring but keep in mind it may not work with an extended battery.

I believe those are the connections for a wireless charging battery cover.

thanks for the reply but I have checked only top right and middle left are for wireless charging. I'm not sure for others.

They may be for antenna connections?? To boost the antenna maybe?

I think they are for the LED Cover.
