[Q] Anyone have a Sony NEX Camera with NFC? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Tmobile D851 and I it worked fine out of the box with my Sony NEX 5T's NFC. I wanted to add Qi Charging so I bought an OEM intl backplate with NFC+Qi and now Qi works but NFC seems to work only in certain circumstances... ie it will pair with my other NFC enabled phones but it wont detect the NFC on my Sony NEX. Anyone else able to get theirs to work?

New Nokia Accessories Might / Should work with SG3??

Hi Guys,
Noticed these new accessories for Nokia but was thinking they should work with the Samsung Galaxy S3 (when we get the wireless charging case). What do you think?

Pretty cool. But there still missing a magnetic plate in the S3. Therefore, wireless charging won't work. Unless you DIY yourself.
The S3 has an optional wireless charging battery door - and it uses the same Qi tech as Nokia, so it should work just fine. The NFC part may not be as easy, but the Tagstand tasker could solve that too.
I very much doubt any NFC stuff will work. It uses proprietary tag formats.

There is another Nokia NFC speaker http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-Unive...rround/dp/B005LBCFCE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
One of the comments on there says now with Android Jelly Bean it works natively. However even if it didn't in this article it also describes how using a couple of apps you can make it work http://anders.tonfeldt.se/?p=1392
Get wireless speakers/headphones and put an NFC sticker on them.
Get a wireless charging matt and put an NFC sticker on it.
Probably a lot cheaper than what Nokia will want for a novelty product with NFC already included.

NFC Tags on a Touchstone

So I successfully implemented inductive charging into my Diztronic case so I decided to buy a few NFC tags to launch specific things when on certain Touchstones. Here I come to find out that when I put the NFC tag onto the touchstone the phone wont charge AND it won't detect the NFC tag. The tag works fine as long as it's not on the touchstone, and the touchstone works fine without the tag on it. Has anyone else encountered this issue and/or found a solution to NFC tagging touchstones?
On a side note, what is everyone's favorite NFC writer app? I'm currently using Samsung's new TacTile app and it seems to work pretty well (besides on my Touchstones...)
Some people have reported some strange NFC behavior when using inductive chargers, often when the charging coil sits right on top of the battery. The only possible fix would be to nudge the charging coil up so it doesn't sit over the battery as much.

Just go into Google Shopper and look up NFC tags. The Sony Xperia one's look cool and are my favorite.

because the magnet of TouchStone may disturb the antenna of NFC .

Nfc issues?

Anyone else find absolutely no response to nfc? Its on, i have previuos trigger actions setup and even used taginfo to try and test but nothing seems to be detected by the nfc antenna. My note 2 had a "sweet spot" bbut nothing seems to trigger on this phone which sucks as id reallt gotten uswd to it with the n2. Im running smootkat 1.1 fwiw (stock rooted) and added a pleson wireless charging "sticker" to the battery which id have to destroy to remove.
tapa_talk 4 sucks
The wireless charging receiver is most likely covering the NFC antenna that is on the battery itself.

Connection pins in the backcover

On the inside of the backcover there are 2 little copper pins. Can anyone tell me what they do? Or is this just a way to detect that the back is attached or maybe NFC or wireless charging?
AFAIK, the lower two pins are for NFC.
The remaining two upper pins are for wireless charging. (need compatible back covers)
I bought Verizon G4 yesterday at Best Buy, most importantly for the camera and removable battery, but also because of wireless charging, which I've been using for about a year on my Moto G.
I had to add the coil receiver to the Moto G, and it does a very good job of keeping the phone charged. It's slow, but I work at a desk at home all day, so the phone sits on the charging puck, and speed is not an essential requirement.
I was aware before buying the LG G4 that the back had to be swapped out for a "receiver" back, but I was dismayed to learn that there doesn't seem to be such a thing available, at least here in the U.S. The only charging device available is the circle device, and that's not what I want.
When I got the phone home, I pulled the receiver out of the Moto G and slapped it into the LG G4 and tried to charge the phone. I immediately got a note saying that charging had stopped, and the add-on receiver was incompatible with LG.
So much for that idea. Anybody have any thought on anything other than the circle case??

A few people on other xda threads are ordering some from aliexpress.com.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/G4-W...ireless-Charger-Battery-Back/32359379615.html
or
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...E9aQ2fUoTXld0i5X8eQSvhtz-yu6&cn=9263&cv=15091
are a couple examples. I'm going to wait it out since I don't have a wireless charger anyways and see which one works the best with Verizon G4
Aliexpress has a supposedly compatible sticker that replace the NFC sticker on the battery cover
its also on Ebay

I pinged the link you gave, but it does not list my phone, which is a VS986. I'll have to be more clear on which contacts do, or do not line up with those on the phone.

The first link says Verizon on it. while it does not specify the VS986, it looks like it might work. That seller also has a video for their QI charging chip install.

Looks Good, I Found Similar On eBay

Thanks, Wooz, that looks like it will work on the VS986, but this outfit will not take PayPal, but requires a credit/debit card, and I didn't feel comfortable with anything other than PP, so I did not order from them.
I found a new listing on eBay, and ordered from that outfit, also of course in China.
I don't claim any expertise here, but it seems that the sticker needs to pick up the BOTTOM TWO contacts of the four shown to the right side of the battery. The one I purchased ($8.80, free shipping with PayPal) seems to do that. This outfit also claims its sticker contains a chip for NFC, which I've never used and don't feel is a major item just at the moment. However NFC might turn out to be helpful later, although I'm completely in the dark about its methodology.
The link I bought from is [email protected]
I'll add to this info after I receive the sticker and fumble it into the phone, although probably not as adroitly as the guy in the video.

DIY Wireless charging without blocking NFC

Id like to implement wireless charging to my z3 but i use NFC heavily so the solution zhekazheka came up with wont work for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/accessories/hassle-diy-wireless-charging-t3300011
I've found these chips on aliexpress but i cant figure out how they would be installed. I assume you must remove the rear panel.
Would removing the rear panel destroy any waterproofing upon thorough reassembly?

Some of these appear to connect to where the NFC antenna connects, which doesn't make sense for charging.
Here is a link to the teardown

Any ideas?
Why not try to find a wireless charger receiver with a usb tail long enough so that it could sit below the nfc receiver? The nfc seems to activate anywhere in the top 8 cm of the back of the phone. I don't there's a wireless receiver that could completely cover that much area.
I tried looking for one but i couldn't find it. it would have to be pretty specific to find an extended right angle sticker with the plug in the correct orientation
