I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 which depends on the battery with a built in NFC antenna for NFC to work. I am currently using a 3rd party battery that doesn't have an NFC antenna. I would love if there is an option to somehow add an antenna externally, but not through the use of a microSD card if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Doubt it. NFC isn't just a matter of adding an antenna afaik.

It would be really be more feasible to just buy a different battery with NFC support. Trying to add an NFC antenna to the phone would be a lot more work than it's worth.

I assumed the rest of the required hardware is built into the phone and just the antenna in the battery, but then again the antenna probably needs to receive power so I can see how that would be an issue. Thanks for your input.

Okay thanks, it's not too big of a deal to throw in an NFC battery when I need the functionality.

Just as much as any NFC-enabled phone does... You know that the antenna is embedded in the inside of the phone, right?

Actually on the SGS3 the NFC antenna is in the battery, not the phone.

Actually I knew that since it was stated in the first post. I consider that still inside the phone.
I thought the user I answered to imagined something like this here as an nfc antenna.
While technically yes, you could make an antenna out of say aluminium foil if you could figure how to cut it so you end up with a tuned antenna, then connect it to the correct pin on the battery connector, I think any sane person would just stick an NFC battery in.
I think they put the antenna in the battery because it's up close to the back of the case. That would also keep it well away from the other antennas that I doubt would like the power pulses that NFC puts out while it's polling.
Oh and Damastus, that picture it hilarious.
I've done the wireless charging mod using Palm Pixi guts. That thin coil of wire is enough to break NFC communication, depending on where it's put. NFC has a VERY short range, so I'm sure it's in the battery to put it as close to potential NFC chips you want to read, and to minimize anything else getting between the antenna & chip (like cases, batteries, etc.)

On the Nexus S, the antenna is built into the phone's backplate.
In theory, you could buy a Nexus S back, remove that antenna, and put it on the inside of your phone.
Run fine wires from the phone's NFC antenna connections to the antenna, and it might just work.
I'd expect reception to be lousy, since you'll detune the antenna by trying to connect it. This also assumes that the NFC circuitry is in the phone, and the battery has only the antenna.

I got my extended battery (4300mAh) with NFC support from a Chinese manufacturer for only $15. I know you have to be careful with those, but this one seemed legit so I took a chance and it works great - last forever - AND has NFC. Here's the one I got: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NFC-Extended-cell-phone-battery-with-cover-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-I9300-4300mAh/577969392.html
just take apart an OEM battery and start playing with it. My guess is what you want to do is VERY doable.
If I recall correctly, the Verizon SGS3 inductive charging back cover has the NFC element on the cover, not the battery.

I think you're right, however I'm pretty sure that's what the extra two pins under the battery are for. These pins are only on the Verizon version of the GS3 though, so it wouldn't work for my T-Mobile GS3. Thanks for the suggestion though.
buy a cheapy chinese battery that has NFC and "have at it"
As far as I have known, there is a type of NFC antenna available in the market that can be stuck to the back cover of your Galaxy S3. In this way, you can take full advantages of NFC functions of the Samsung mobile with an alternative mobile battery. However, it seems that most providers like Sunshine Good Electronics Company only do wholesales business on platforms like Globe Resources. You can search it on e-bay, maybe you will be surprised to find on retail seller.

I agree. This 30 pin connector, proprietary charging, no HDMI, coupled with no JB 4.2 so no miracast, this is one disconnected, connected, wired and shackled but supposedly mobile device.
I've only had it for three weeks and I miss a more connected, but liberated device.

my playbook, and my note 2 use 2 amp chargers. I just lucked or on the 30 pin connector because I had a mini usb to 30 pin connector for my tab 2 7.0, and an extra cable.
The tf300 was a dream to type on with the dock, but honestly, my note 10.1 kicks the crap out of it. The oem cover works great, with the exception of a lot of e's that come out 3.

I had no idea that this was happening.
It would be awesome if Samsung could come up with a transformer-esque type of keyboard/cover, or even a touch-cover like the Surface.
It makes the idea of a "Note netbook/laptop" a good one, but with two separated accessories i.e. stand + bluetooth keyboard, that idea is gone.
Shame :/
The tablet must be a tablet, not a computer if you want a computer buy it separately. A tablet is made for commands through touchscreen, if you want to have a tablet with dock keyboard buy a tablet-pc ( i own one..)

Eh? I can find the Samsung connector (which is actually a standard called "PDMI") just about anywhere (at least in the States), I've got more charger options now than i had with my Moto Xoom, especially if you buy one of these. HDMI and AllShare Cast work on my device, too.
I've used 4.2 and we're not really missing much useful save the multi-user feature.
I have 4 BT Keyboards, including one with a built-in stick mouse and a cover that folks to make a stand; the combo (which is light enough I carry it around in a case with my Note) gives me everything I could get with the KB dock except maybe charging and it's apparently more portable as well.
I'd say we're pretty well-connected

I went to verizon yesterday & saw a Samsung branded Keyboard dock for the Tab10.1. I tried it with the display model Tab 2 10.1 & it fit. I thought that the Tab 210.1 & the Note 10.1 were the same size. I was gutted to find it was not. It works if you pull out the plastic guide/holder, but then it is kind of flimsy in there. Bummer.
Wasnt there a rumor somewhere that one of Samsungs next tablets was going to be transformer-esque? I could have sworn I read something a few months ago about it.

Well, with the GNote 10.1 LTE coming to VZ soon, I'd expect they'd be getting accessories there, too (and likely to be hugely overpriced), so I'd come back again a little while after the GNote's available in VZ stores.

That sounds sort of narrow-minded in my opinion. Why can't a tablet be both or why can't a computer be a tablet? For an artist like me, I would love the opportunity if tablets got powerful enough to rival their notebook counterparts and offered a desktop view as well as for easy access with a keyboard and trackpad.
With the move of ultrabooks , especially the Surface Pro, converging into tablet territory with full features, one must consider that to be a blessing than a curse. Think about it in this way: Would you carry a radio, cd player , portable DVD player with TV, game system and an ereader just to be able to use them, or would you opt for the simpler solution of an all in one deal? That is the number one reason why the iPod took off: portability. Not only can you get a radio, but a music player and now video, games and reading.
It gets roughly cumbersome to carry every single CD, DVD ,game cart/disc in addition to the hardware , let alone the books for brief reading in commutes in comparison to an all out deal.
For the average consumer and artist, such things are so hard to get that it is pushed towards the rich ,but now similar tech now exists that has the potential to allow for maximal power and capability and the ability to change form factors on the fly. Why should people have to be inconvenienced to buying several different products that can be brought under one device when it can be deducted into one singular product that is amazing and does it all , broadly speaking?
If we went by this flawed logic an mp3 player must play music only, but no radio , thus how would iPods and whatnot be popular if they didn't serve multiple functions simply?

Thanks.....I think. Glad to hear about the PDMI. Just have to figure out how to use it.
What I was trying too say is everything is an add on so my kit ends up being as bulky as my ultrabook and far more prone to losing some piece that makes the whole thing work. my last tablet logged about 100k+/- frequent flyer miles. Using one power brick with one power end, one multi headed usb, one multi headed hdmi, one universal battery charger brick fit neatly in an airplane amenity bag, and served two cameras, one phone and a tablet. Needed no OTG cable to get the CF card reader seen by the tablet. Because I have a GNex, I already have a data/sync switch on my usb cable.
The cameras are the hardest and heaviest to carry.
So far, I've had to add another amenity kit to add the adapters for the Note. And I still don't have a way of using it to run a projector or tv. My phone ends up doing that.

I'm designing a dock for the N7v2 for use in a car. It will have Qi wireless charging and Bluetooth audio receiver, with a standard 3.5mm audio output. It should be compatible with most cases.
I am also currently designing a mounting method that should be close to universal between different cars, and should not fall off like most other docks in the market.
I designed one for the N7v1 using the Pogo pins, and I can never go back to not having a dock for my tablet in my car. It's amazing the difference it made for me.

Sounds like a great idea. Do you have any links showing your work with N7v1? Heck, I may be interested in that version since the v1 tablet can be had for cheap these days and is more than capable for the limited functions needed in a car. At any rate:
1. yes, would be interested
2. no idea what a fair price would be, but $50-$100 seems like a fair ballpark
I would think very carefully why you need a wireless charger in a car.
Heat kills batteries; tablets in cars get hot. Why add heat to your woes?
The tablet is likely to be busy playing music and navigating, often in full sunlight. Why add to the heating problems by using a wireless charger when a 5v cord charger attached to the car supply will do the trick?
The wireless car mount/charger iterations for the Nexus 4 were a failure, I recall.

Well, that's why I don't leave the tablet in the car, I keep it with me. While I'm in the car, if it's hot out I will have the A/C on anyways, so heat has not been an issue.
Most of my broken devices are dead because the USB port broke because of wear and tear. One of the points of this dock is to reduce that. Plugging in a device everytime I get in the car is partly to blame for such failures. I would have used Pogo Pins, like with the first Nexus 7, but they don't exist on the second.

Look at active Brodit car mounts - say for a Nexus 4. There the device is supported and aligned as it glides onto or off the USB. There is no possibility of twisting or yawing.
I think your proposal maybe over-kill - simplest solutions are always best IMHO. A guy in the Nexus 4 forum came to no good end and had a lot of unhappy 'subscribers'. Just saying.

I would normally agree. I was hoping to make one that doesnt require a case to be removed to use. I designed my previous dock the way you describe (except it used the Pogo pins on the side), but I always had to remove the case and eventually the first case was showing signs of damage from being removed so often.
My hope is that the base platform of the dock I want to build will be compatible with multiple models of smartphones and tablets that are Qi capable. That'll require a lot more planning, but may be worth it.

Well if you're set on the route you've described; ... I see you've picked up on the Peltier pump in another thread. Credit me somewhere if you make it!
But I might consider an approach made by Philips in an Android Bluetooth Speaker and dock. The adjustment for USB and its placement on an edge, plus 180 degree rotation needed for some models, was catered for physically. A much cheaper approach which copes with tablets and phones!

I think I will use a Peltier pump. And yes, I'll make sure you get credit for that idea I'll mount the transmitting coil onto the cold side (probably with a layer of copper in between, we'll try several things) and have the hot side of the pump mounted to the aluminum/sheet metal of the back plate (probably with thermal paste as well). I'll have the pump on a simple thermostat. Good thing I have an EE helping me with this project
Hopefully the final product won't need a Peltier pump, but I will definitely have it in the prototype.

Don't forget to talk to your EE about eddy current loses in any conductors (copper, aluminium) you have nearby to your induction coil.
Interesting read, but with the cooler this is going to be a very expensive dock. Without it, look to Canada for your market.
I rigged up one for my Nexus 4 last Winter. Based on some testing, I used the most efficient charger I could find for that phone (the LG wcp-700). It worked very well... until late spring when the mercury broke 70. To make a long story short, I pulled it last month as the phone was getting too hot. This in a suv with a 4 liter v6 with plenty of air conditioning, front and rear.
Without the cooler, the tablet needs to be located directly in front of a vent, or even in moderate climates the unit will get hot enough to significantly reduce charging current.
One more thing to consider... the Nexus 7 is polarized vertically. This means that it is invisible in landscape orientation for anyone wearing polarized driving glasses, which I am willing to bet is a large percentage of your prospective market (tech savvy, auto enthusiasts). Most displays designed for vehicles are polarized at 45°, making this not such an issue.
While the tinkerer, software developer, and electronic geek in me wanted a fully integrated tablet in my truck, I soon came to the conclusion that it was simply not practical. What is really needed is a properly done appRadio, where a head unit can mirror the display of a mobile device (ideally wirelessly - miracast, etc.) with a control link set up to pass touches on the head unit back to the mobile device. We're about 30% there now, but a lack of standards, and major players wanting proprietary solutions is a problem.
I wish you much success with your endeavor, but just wanted to share my experience and feelings that this will not be all that marketable a product.
The problems you had with the nexus 4 does not necessarily effect the nexus 7. The nexus 4 was pretty terrible at wireless charging. I had a car setup with a qi charger with the lumia 920 and it worked great even in hot weather. I am not saying the nexus 7 will work, but it might.

What makes you say that? I ask as I have seen relatively similar performance with both the N7 and N4. The tricky thing about the N4 is that the coil is not centered in the vertical dimension, so for folks making the assumption that it is, there will be quite a bit of offset.

I say that because of all the issues people had with car docks. It also had issues with the dt-900 qi chargers when it shouldn't have. It heated up excessively with most chargers.
I wonder if there will be an Official dock that lets you:
1. Charge
2. Expand TV HDMI out
3. USB port for Hard drive access
I really want the Nexus & FHD to be a Home entertainment player...may be a remote/ Or Kinect like gesture control app built in with the dock
Hope this comes true...it will be the best Combo for a home unit!

Exactly. What if we got a car but instead of a windshield it came with a compass? BT headsets are cheap and universal. How many Android phones come with a Wacom inductive display with 1024 stages of pressure sensitivity and palm rejection? If people don’t use S Pen that’s cool but they have and will have tons of choices for giant phones. For those of us that actually do use S Pen the Note’s still the only game in town. Samsung has and will continue to position the Note(s) as a “creation” device. For people that don’t care about creation buy a Mega. And a BT headset if you want.
No no no.
We need a headset with a built in stylus!
Tough crowd.
Why don't you get the HM5100 Bluetooth S-Pen and then you'll have both
or could have a stylus attached on one side of the phone and the Bluetooth headset on the other ?!!!

No, just a really stupid suggestion.
No need. Just get an S4 with a bluetooth headset, without the spen its no longer the Note series. But lets be practical, in order to fit those bluetooth headset into the phone and let the phone charge it would be a hassle all together. Plus that might require the phone to be a bit on the bulky and flimsy side.

I believe it isn't supported. Xiaomi Pad 5 works only with original Xiaomi Smart Pen and it doesn't recognize other bluetooth pens.

I also tried swapping protocols as indicated in the Lenovo Tab P11 user manual: "If your pen is not responsive, please try switching pen protocols. Hold both buttons consecutively for 25 seconds to switch between pen protocols (WGP & AES).".
Nothing helps.
We must wait for clarification from @sangin80.

I'm sorry I didn't provide you with accurate information.
You can first recognize MiPad 5 pen and then use it.

Now it's clear why I didn't see it in the Bluetooth device list.
So you must FIRST pair a Xiaomi Smart Pen, and only AFTER should it recognize the Lenovo Precision Pen 2, right?
Will it work up to how long? Factory Reset/Xiaomi Smart Pen unpair or even less?

Hi sangin80 , Does Lenovo precision pen 2 will work without pairing with mi pad 5 and does Lenovo precision pen 2 support palm rejection (without pairing) if not. Does it support plam rejection after pairing
im sorry this is too late but if you still have the lenovo pen can you try rooting and installing a lsposed module named maxmipad it can disable the bluetooth authentication so in theory lenovo pen should work after that

A good capacitive (no battery to charge) pen Yesido ST 01. Inexpensive and reliable

So its like all universal capacitive pen. It doesn't have palm rejection unless you use a glove or you're getting used to writing while hovering your palm
