Nfc on gnote n7000

Hi Gurus,
Is there any possibility that we can get NFC feature on GNote in near future?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Nope.
It needs hardware that the N7000 doesn't have.
Buy the LTE version if you want that.

you can in the not toooo far future get SIM cards with build inn NFC...don't know how far inn the future that is yet though...

I was sure NFC was built in the Note. I'm surprised it isn't. I bought the Note thinking to keep it for a long time but now I'm disappointed because I'm sure I saw it advertised almost everywhere that the Note has NFC. %@C*//

I think I saw it on one of the teardown videos. It is not used however.

Buy the LTE (AT&T) Note for NFC.
BTW if they do release a sim card capable of holding a NFC chip, your after market Alloy back will block it from working...
Also that Moneto link looks scammy to me, "Booster stickers" are complete bull****.
In fact If the sticker has any metal in it it'll make it harder for the NFC Arial to pickup any signal.

Will the NFC battery work on the N7000?
Has anyone tested?

yeah it should work just as any other nfc chip on simcard etc - but on gingerbread there is no application that support it yet

Anything else required other than the battery? I thought the att note had nfc hardware onthe battery cover?

lol, you have no idea how NFC works do you?
The NFC is NOT built into the battery, Its a part of the main-board and Snapdragon architecture
see pics here:

this is simple.
you either buy the Korean Model (not recommended)
or you buy the LTE Snapdragon model
or you live without NFC and buy the N7000 (Exynos chipset) International version.

I gotta ask, what exactly are you guys using nfc for? Trying to figure out the hype. Please be as detailed as possible.

What the heck does the NFC battery do since the "NFC enabled" ones have the the extra connections for the anntena

Basically:
-You can store your information like for say your credit card info on your phone and if you find a NFC enabled payment device like seen in Toys R Us or Best Buy you can just scan your phone instead of having to pull out your card all the time. This replaces your card entirely.
-Android Beam: Let's you exchange information by putting two phones with NFC in them to exchange info like videos, pictures, links, and making payments(It's not made yet, but probably in the future).
These two are the only uses I could think up of right now that is right now available in the U.S. In other countries you can use them as bus passes too like in South Korea.

Android Beam only works in ICS at the moment..

I know what I want to use it for in the future - context sensitive app launchers!
Sony is going to push this hard - look for sony nfc smart tags on Amazon.

Are you guys really that comfortable to store all that personal information on a smartphone?
Maybe later for me.

Well, If your using the Android pattern lock you should be safe, as even FBI can't break it
The NFC ready battery I think is that it has a NFC antenna, the chip is on the phone itself I believe...
Correct me if I'm wrong..

I'm sure when NFC is ready for prime time the note 2 maybe 3 will be out already.

Your link shows people are working on it at least for those rooted. Now if we could get it for those that are not rooted it would be great.

Yeah don't think that's gonna happen, unless Samsung miraculously decides to offer us it sometime (i.e. never). Why would you not root your phone though? I mean you could always triangle away and revert to stock if you're claiming warranty or something. If you need those extra goodies, rooting is a must.

I don't root mostly because I can't afford the possibility that the device could be bricked due to my not understanding or doing the wrong thing even though I am quite computer literate having worked on computers professionally and as a hobby since the mid 70's and have built and sold computer systems over the years.

[Q] Keyboard shortcuts?

Hi Guys!
I hope this has not been discussed and it's not a dumb question.
I just got my first android phone which is the note3. Ex-apple fanboy and man am I glad I switched!
Dont think I can ever go back to my iphone ever again.
That said, I cant seem to figure out one feature. Is there a way to create keyboard shortcuts? Ie - type omw and the phone will convert that to on my way?
I have looked online and all over in the phone and this is driving me insane!
Thanks again!

I don't actually know if there is a keyboard out there that supports it. SwiftKey doesn't and the Samsung stock doesn't either. Smart keyboard might have this feature, you can try search for it in the playstore. But if it's not that important to you, then I'd suggest to try SwiftKey instead. It's a killer keyboard and I bet it will blow your mind if you're used to Apple's keyboard

thanks for the informative post!
I guess I will have to keep my eye open for something of the sort in the future.
Out of curiousity, I thought I read about some form of screen recording function on the galaxy note, but have no yet found that either.
Is that a feature of the note3 or an app? All I can do is screenshots it seems...

The Note 3 does not have screen recording. It is not limited to hardware though, so it is possible in the future. Screen recording is built in with Android 4.4 and above, so you might see the feature in the upcoming 4.4 update for Note 3. However, it will probably not arrive until January sometime is my guess. It's also worth noting that especially Samsung is known for removing some of Androids core features and add some of their own. Therefore it's not sure that we will get screen recording with 4.4 for Note 3. With that being said, you can download an application that offers screen recording, however that require your phone rooted. Keep in mind that rooting will possibly break your warranty.

Thanks for the info! Rooting Isn't a problem, and I'm ok with the warranty thing. I actually pay a monthly fee for an extended warranty because I drop phones a lot
I wish Samsung would be more like the Nexus series!
Any programs that record the screen that you guys recommend?

I don't know any myself, I just know there are a few in the Play Store. I never had the need for it myself, so I haven't tried them out. I'd recommend searching in the playstore and looking for the most downloaded one as well as the one with most stars.

Action against Samsung Europe

In January, I would bring an action against Samsung Europe.
Samsung told me that has never released an update because the device works well and has no bug.
Someone can someone tell me if the TAB GT-P6800 has any bug. It's very important to start with any action....
If I wrong section, please move this topic.

1. Exynos exploit
2. Superbrick (aka "brickbug"). There is a troll user that will tell you this is just false, but many a good elite recognised developer will tell otherwise. I have seen the JB kernel patch and JB code changes signed off by Samsung Engineers. So if you have ICS, you're at risk.
There are apps available at XDA and Google Play to check if your device is at risk for both.
I won't bother with links, you can Google the info yourself
Best of luck

I have self update to 4.0.4 but Samsung answered that TAB 7.7 is up to ICS because the device is ok and work fine. This is false because all device get at least an update.

I doubt they will bother wasting time on our device when they have almost dropped it from the line up as a new device.
Im in hong kong now and go to official samsung store all they sell is the 10.1 tab 3 and 8.0 tab 3 and 7.0 tab 3 plus a kids version.
they have a few tab 2 still.i havent seen the older style tabs like 8.9,7.7 in the shop.also cant see any tab with a 30 pin connector.
im hoping they make a new tab with good screen like our device,maybe the next gen of tabs...hopefully they have USB 3.0 aswell
so we can charge and usb host at same time easier like the note 3.
i dont know why they still sell the s2 phone everyhwere here and will continue to develope software but not support us top paying customers
that forked out big dollars for a 7.7 tab years ago.i could buy a new tab now for half of what my 7.7 cost when it was first released.

Sprint Does Bloatware Right

I really like how Sprint installs the vast majority of a device's bloatware after you set up the device. It means you can simply uninstall it and it's actually gone. It's not just disabled or frozen. I understand the business reasons behind bloatware and of course I'd prefer it not be there at all. That said, since it isn't going away, I wish all carriers would adopt Sprint's method rather than cluttering up the system partition with it. Thoughts?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk

Agreed. I've been with them awhile now and they are really easing up on it recently.
I guess this helps them get the product out faster since they don't need to bake these programs in the ROM anymore.

The most recent update I received (I've had like 3 of them already) pushed the additional bloatware, but when I try to uninstall it, it doesn't give the option. Can't wait until we can root this thing.

We can, the T Mob version works, but I would proceed with caution afterwards since we don't have a ROM image to flash if things go south.
I've just been tweaking stuff... Until I can actually remove it and not worry.

I was able to uninstall everything except Lookout, Sprint ID, and Sprint Zone. We are talking about all the extra apps installed by Sprint. This doesn't apply to the additional Samsung apps.

How many people have successfully used the t-mob on the sprint note 4?

Me, and two others.
It does break system updates but we'll have downloadable roms soon enough.

Evernote is an app that Samsung preinstalls. It's highly integrated with S-Note, which is why you can't disable it. Same with Flipboard.

Just the same as carrier branding on sprints phones... there is little to none. I like it that way. I dont go walking down the street, see someone with a huge wart of a verizon logo on the phone and say to myself, "im getting Verizon". Its rediculous that carriers have to put their big old stamp on otherwise beutiful hardware. Same goes for software. I dont see the point in 20 apps that simply take you to the carriers website. Sprint has its share of bloat but its not nearly as bad as others.

Agreed. When it comes to bloatware, AT&T is by far the worst. I owned their Galaxy S5 and there were 17 apps that were specifically installed by AT&T. They even preinstall an app called ReadyToGo which replaces the standard welcome/setup screen (when you turn the device on for the first time) with one that's got AT&T's brand all over it. That's just obscene.

I'm shocked at the lack of "bloat" on this phone. Almost all the Sprint apps are easily uninstalled, but what gets me is the lack of Samsung apps. First time ever I don't have a Samsung folder full of their apps. I actually opened Galaxy App and installed a few just to see whats going on..........
