I second that! ISIS or Google Wallet apps available for any NFC phone yet? (courtesy of the devs on XDA of course) I suppose I could do a quick search...
Is there a mod/flash that will enable the NFC on the lock screen rather then the current method of after unlocking the screen?
No one has done it for this phone but they have it for the tmo gs3. Which is a good as mod..

Thanks, thats what I thought. Still trying to figure my new NFC tags out. Even bought Tasker which lets me shut the screen off when i place it next to the bed.
I set one tag as a switch to turn BT on/off when i put it in its cradle in the car. The problem is when the screen goes off, if I turn the screen back on, the NFC tag is read and BT is turned off. I should have not stuck the tag to the cradle and to some other place in the car I guess.
This is almost as fun as flashing ROMs!

Elaborate I wanna play around with NFC Tags ^^
There is one in this thread for CyanogenMod. There's a Jelly Bean mod in that thread somewhere. I can't remember which post.

I had the same issue whenever I flashed through a folder on the sdcard. Sometimes NFC wasn't even there. Are your ROMs on the root of your sdcard or in a folder?

My ROMs are in the INTERNAL Storage of my phone, on the root. NOT on an SD card. Are you running CM?
Thanks for the reply btw!

I don't have any issues and from what I've read, the battery life is superior. I can go a full day with streaming SIRIUS/XM for my 45 min ride to and from work over bluetooth, browsing, email, 2 or 3 phone calls, and I will still have about 20% before I go to bed.

Actually on aokp ROM control there is an option to set nfc profiles. You could set it to always on or only when screen is on. It's cool

any update? Anyone made the mod yet
anybody? this would be great
[EDIT - Feb 27, 2013]I've merged both post into one. Also, I've zip-aligned both versions so that it uses less RAM on your phone. Attached are both the lockscreen and screen-off versions. Pick the one you want and rename to Nfc.apk before using
I've been searching for so long for this to be possible for the SGH-T989 but nobody had made one. After almost a full day of work starting from never having decompiled an APK and ODEX file, I've finally got a working version! :laugh:
I do not know how this will affect battery life.
Nfc-lockscreen.apk - This version will let NFC to continue to function while the screen is ON and LOCKED. The only time NFC should not work is when the screen is OFF.
Nfc-screenoff.apk - This version will let NFC to continue to function while the screen is ON and OFF, LOCKED or NOT.
Just a note, there is a "deep-sleep" mode on most Android phones that will disable NFC regardless. The phone goes into deep-sleep mode when the screen is off for too long. I do not know of a way to keep NFC function while it is in deep-sleep mode.
So, just to be clear, I have a Telus Samsung Galaxy S II X (SGH-T989D) running ICS 4.0.3. This hack should work for the T-Mobile SGH-T989 as well but I'll need someone to test it to verify. Finally, my device is rooted.
Pre-requsites:
SGH-T989 or SGH-T989D running ICS 4.0.3 or 4.0.4
Must be rooted, so you should have SuperSU
Have someway of copying files into \system\app\ - such as in my case, using ROM Toolbox
The modified APK file below, select the version you want and rename it to Nfc.apk
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BACKUP YOUR NFC.APK AND NFC.ODEX FILES IN \SYSTEM\APP\
If you do not know how to back it up, the steps below may be too complex for you. Try and figure out how to back those up first before proceeding.
Plug your phone into your computer. Copy the modified Nfc.apk to the root directory of your SD card on your phone.
Start ROM Toolbox and go into the Root Browser.
Browse into \system\app\ and delete Nfc.apk and Nfc.odex (assuming you have them backed up already).
Browse to \sdcard\external_sd\ and copy the modified Nfc.apk to \system\app\.
Press and long-hold the Nfc.apk file in \system\app\ until a menu appears. Select Permissions. Change the permissions to 0644. (Owner: Read & Write, Group: Read, Others: Read)
Reboot your phone.
I want to thank wrapper's initial post here that eventually lead me to mayhemer's post here.
Enjoy!
In case people wanted to know, I basically did this:
Changed
Code:
.field static POLLING_MODE:I = 0x0
to
Code:
.field static POLLING_MODE:I = 0x3
Copied and overwrote applyRouting() method from mayhemer's nfcmodsgh-T999_screenoff_UVALEM.zip to the stock one on SGH-T989.

Nice...I think this was possible already but I forget how I set it.
What I really I wanted was NFC to turn off with the screen off and turn on with the screen on even if it is locked with security or swipe. That way when I get into my car in the AM, I dont have to unlock the screen to tap my NFC chip. I could just turn the screen on, tap the chip, and put it in the holder. it would save me a whopping 3 seconds! all joking aside, this would help when I am wearing gloves so I dont have to take my glove off to unlock the screen.
I was trying to figure out how to set up Tasker to do this but failed miserably. There is definitely a way.

I don't think the stock ROM from Telus or T-Mobile can do screen off with NFC still enabled.
But what you're looking for, with screen on, but locked and NFC is enabled and when screen is off, NFC is disabled, that should be possible with another mod. I'll have a stab at it tonight if I find time. Now that I know how to do one, it shouldn't be as difficult to do the other one too.
[EDIT] Please see above for the modified Nfc.apk file.
Sorry for the delay. But here it is, the modified Nfc.apk file that allows NFC to continue to function when the screen is in the lockscreen. NFC will NOT function when the screen is off.
Follow the exact same instructions as above but use the modified Nfc.apk file below instead.
I didn't test it, so let me know if it works or not.
Side note: After using my screen-off version of the NFC mod, I've noticed that the phone has a deep-sleep mode where NFC mode is disabled regardless of my mod. I don't know what the threshold time for when that deep-sleep mode is engaged but just FYI. As for battery life, I haven't had a chance to really compare yet so I'll update when I get a chance.

This worked great! Thanks for this. 1 less thing to do in the AM!
BTW... I didn't see an NFC.odex file in system/app/ but it worked anyway.

I'm glad it worked! Some Stock ROMs don't have the .odex file because it is already inside the apk file. So don't worry about it.
Let me know how it goes battery-life wise.

This has no noticeable affect on battery life! Nice work. I am using "Nfc-lockscreen.apk" and it does exactly what I want it to do. I had to come back and grab it after changing ROMs. TY!

Doesn't matter, you can flash the needed files on every ROM.

Shiny just added it two days ago, and it's confirmed to be working with a fitbit (although the fitbit app still needs to be updated for compatibility with 4.3).

I tried flashing the files and it did work but after that I could no longer connect to my Parrot Asteroid Smart in my car and use all the hands free stuff. I'd like to try a ROM with it already built in to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks, I'll have to give this a try.
error311's ROM seems to working great so far for me. Have the TI sensor tag working.
This is my first post, please tell me if there is anything wrong with the structure.
I have tried everything, installed every single rom on xda, but i can't make the rotation and motion sensors to work. They used to work, until i flashed the leaked 4.3 stock from samsung... after about a week they stopped working. Out of the blue really, the phone has no dents or bumps.. any solution?

Get GPS STATUS app from play store, open it up and hit the menu button, then click on TOOLS, this will let you calibrate the sensors.
Hope this will solve it, please let me know :victory:

Can you give me an example of how you know that these sensors are not working? What are the scenarios where you see it not working?

Well you can't go on landscape mode.. calibration does nothing. Can't use apps that depend on gyroscope.
The motion features won't work at all, non of them. Quick glance etc.
Does anyone know of a setting or anything that would keep the compass from working? I've tried doing a hard reset twice now and it still won't work. I may try returning it and getting another watch if I can't get it to work.
There is no compass.

Can confirm, there is really no compass. No use in getting the watch replaced.
Which watchface were you using?
Dark suite and classic watch faces have compass. You guys are silly hehehehe
