NFC Position - Nokia 5 Questions & Answers

Where is the NFC positioned in the back of the phone ? I can't get my Yubikey to work with it (And yes, the NFC is enabled in the settings).

NFC is between the camera and flash closer to the flash.

TV OUT not working!

Hello,
anybody else got a problem with TV OUT ?
I cannot make it work. And when entering the Service/Test Mode, it won't work there either! Its setting is OFF.
In comManager its all greyed out, no matter if connected with a cable to a tv or not.
There is a reg setting about it and when I enable it there, it shows enabled, but it actually is NOT.
So I am wondering if this is perhaps MY hardware or if there is any 'secret' to it, to make it work.
Thanks!
Everybody's elses TV OUT working fine???
Hey what is this, no replies at all. Should I believe EVERYBODIES TV OUT is working fine?
Or nobody using that at all? I want to know if with all you out there, the TVout in connection manager is greyed out or not (with or without a plug).
Even in service/test mode my setting is OFF and cannot be changed.
Need to know if this is just mine and the hardware is perhaps broken. Thanks!
Mine works.
(I used it very rarely but it's good to know it there)
MS Direct Push not working either?!?!
Good to know at least somebody's works! If you go to connection manager, the TV screen is greyed out on mine, on yours its yellow?
And what about the square where you put the ckeckmark, its greyed on mine, on yours not?
Now, what is your software version?
Thanks

When the cable is not connected, the TV out checkbox in Connection Manager is greyed out. The moment I connect the cable to both phone and TV, a menu pops up and shows a picture and two aspect ratio options to choose from.
Are you sure it's not the cable or the input on the TV faulty? I mean it is clear for me the TV out option is available only after a connection between phone and a valid input of a working TV has been established. Dunno, try other tv sets?
My phone software is plain 6.5.3 generic UK. only mods are sd card fix and overclocking, so very little to do with the matter we are discussing.
Yeah, I tried different TVs. But since it won't even work in TestMenu, I figure it my hardware now.
You see, in testmenu, one does not even need to connect a TV because it will be displayed on the lcd. And no cable needed either.
What is your manufacture date? Its inside battery compartment on white sticker, like 09Wxx or 10Wxx.
Mine says 09W48

I'm too facing the same problem..
It identifies the cable as a headset.
Anything to do...?

SBEAM/NFC Issues

Is anyone else having issues receiving files, pictures, music etc...using S-BEAM/NFC? (I have both options selected)
I tried sending files from a GNII and a SIV to the N7.2 with no luck what so ever. When beaming the files to N7.2 I get a Play Store prompt and it eventually times out.
However sending files from the N7.2 I never have any issues.
Has anyone else experienced this?
S beam will have to be turned off when using the Galaxy s4 or S3. It works but you have to use regular NFC with devices that don't have s beam. If you are looking for something similar from Android to Android device try super beam. This application does the same thing similar to s beam.

I can't get my NFC to work at all. It is on in the settings but it won't recognize any NFC device when bumped (tried with old N7 and S4). I even used a reader app to read my credit card and it didn't even pick that up (which my GS4 did with the same app). So NFC seems to be the only thing wrong with mine. If there's a fix that doesn't require a return or sending it in, that would be great.
As stated... With any Samsung galaxy device s beam has to be turned off and NFC only turned on.

Thanks for responding!
I turned off S Beam on the GNII and I was still not able to send picture using just NFC. I tried with S-Beam off and also with Android Beam off. With Android Beam off, it was really a no go. With Android Beam on, it would attempt to send the file, but the N7.2 would go to the Play Store, the same way it would with S-Beam on.
I am going to get my coworks GS4 and turnoff S-Beam to see if its an issue with my GNII.

On the Nexus 7 (2013), the NFC sensor is in the middle of the "nexus", in the same place as the wireless charging spot. On the Nexus 7 (2012) the sensor was towards the top of the device around where the "nexus" was. I have found the NFC signal to be exceptionally strong on the Nexus 7 (2013).
NFC from HTC one
Hi, I can use the same MiFare tags on either device but for the life of me cant get any connection between my HTC one and the Nexus 7 (2013). Its bothering me since I know both transceivers work. Is there some incompatibility? Before anyone replies, I am not a moron and yes all NFC options are turned on. I tried BT on/off too. I rebooted etc. Anyone?
I just tried using my coworkers GSIV and I could send a file from the N7.2 witout any issues. The phone actually had S-Beam on when I sent a file from the N7.2
I asked her to turn off S-Beam and to send me a picture from the GSIV. No good, the picture would not send. We turned S-Beam on and tried to send a picture and the Play Store option popped up on the N7.2.
Could it be that I just have a bad unit? I don't not have any other NFC enabled devices besides Galaxies devices around me lol...so I don't have any other way to test it out.
Sending from the N7.2 is great...receiving has been a failure using the GSIV & GNII.
Android Beam is built into every Android 4.0+ device with NFC. However, as of Android 4.1+, it can send photos and videos to other devices, so long as both devices have Bluetooth in addition to NFC. Simply open a photo or video in the gallery, put the devices back-to-back, and follow the beam procedure.
S-Beam is a proprietary implementation of this on certain Samsung devices, which predates 4.1's photo/video sending capabilities, and uses Wi-Fi Direct. Since it is uncertain if S-Beam disrupts the function of the Bluetooth-based Android Beam photo/video sharing, and only offers a few extra file sharing features, I would recommend turning it off, unless you have compelling reason not to.

Thank for the tip. Once I was able to find the "G Spot" I was finally able to send pictures and apps from my GNII to the N7.2!!! Now I just need to try out my NFC chips!!
Whew...I'm happy that its not my phone or the tablet...just took a more precise and gentle touch lol :highfive:

NFC not active

Hello,
I have a problem with the NFC. It is active but the applications it uses do not recognize active NFC.
Is there another option active?
For info I'm on X720 rom stock 18s no root.
thank you
No, this is the only option to enable.
What exactly do you mean with "the applications it uses do not recognize active NFC"?
Does the application show you an error? Or does your app work normally but is not detecting any NFC tags?
In the second case: be aware that the NFC antenna is not placed in the middle of the phone but near the top so you have to hold the NFC tags near the upper end of your phone.

Yes, it does not detect tags either.
I tried "easy nfc" on the playstore and it does not detect the active nfc.
I don't know what "Easy NFC" is supposed to do, but it doesn't seem to be an NFC reader app. It also doesn't work on my other test devices.
Try "NFC TagInfo by NXP" instead which is made directly by NXP (the same company which also produces the NFC hardware chip in your phone) and it also supports a wide range of NFC tags.
thanks, I'll try.
Not sure if this helps, but I found that NFC works at the camera area instead of the bottom half of the phone. Worth a shot, because I know I got worried when I tried to test NFC as well.
@ saikouOtaku
Thank you, I try next time.

ANT+

Has anyone gotten ANT+ to work? I read that people were using on the 3T. There was an app needed on my Nexus 6 to get it activated but it doesn't support the OP5.
I haven't been able to get it to work either. If you use the ANT+ Tester app, it shows that there's a hardware module installed but gives no method for accessing it. Have you had any luck since?

I found this thread with people claiming that it works but no one has provided an specifics.

I have installed all the required files but it does not work for me.

I figured out how to get it to work, unfortunately it requires a factory reset.
It looks like if you try to use ANT+ without first having the drivers installed it creates a sort of mutex where the app trying to access it "claims" the ANT+ usage and doesn't allow the drivers to be updated.
What worked for me:
- factory reset
- install all ANT+ drivers
- attempt to connect to ANT+ device (successful)
What did not work:
- uninstalling all ANT+ related apps (Endomondo, Stava, etc.)
- uninstalling all ANT+ drivers
- wiping all cache/system caches
- reinstalling ANT+
- reinstalling ANT+ related apps
Thanks. At least that is a solution. Im about to go out of town on vacation and don't have time to go through a full backup and restore process right now but I'll try it when I get back.
I've just began to factory reset my phone to try and get ANT+ working. I'll let you know if it works soon.
**EDIT**
Nope.
I did a "Settings -> Backup & Restore -> Factory Data Reset" without wiping "Internal Storage".
First thing i did was install all the ANT+ apps, Radio Service, Plugin apps, and heart rate app.
Heart Rate Monitor not detected, some sort of "Adaptor not available" error flash box.
I tested my HRM on the partners Xperia Z5 last night and it worked fine.
I'm now doing a wipe including internal storage to see if that makes a difference.
Nope. No difference.
The "ANT Tester" app looks just like this - https://imgur.com/NSCTYPd
The ANT+ Heart Rate Grapher gives the error:
"ANT Adaptor Not Available. Built-in ANT hardware or external adaptor required."
The ANT+ Plugin Sampler gives the error:
"ANT Adaptor Not Available. Built-in ANT hardware or external adaptor required."
The ANT+ Demo app gives the error:
"Unrecognized result: ADAPTOR_NOT_DETECTED"
Well I was about to do a wipe and try it but I guess I won't now.
Update:
The latest software update killed the ant+ support. Wiping no longer fixes the problem for me, either.
Turning the airplane mode on, connecting the ant+ device (heart rate sensor for me) with the app of your choice, then turning off the airplane mode seems to work for me and some others.
OnePlus 5 ANT+
What seemed to work for me is to download ANT+ Radio Service from Google Play, and turn ON the Airplane Mode at the end of the download before it starts installing it.
I still have the odd bug such as won't work if I have the bluetooth ON, or sometimes just won't work at all but do after a restart...
Hopefully OP can resolve that soon.
Whoa! ANT+ is actually working in Oreo?!?! I'm running the first official Oxygen OS release (not Beta) stock rooted.
It picked up my cadence sensor biking into work this morning just like my OPO used to!

I'm traveling and don't have any ANT+ sensors to test. I'll try when I get home. But even on N the ANT+ Tester app showed everything green. It still did not work without the Airplane mode/disabled BT trick. And even then it was flaky.

In on a clean install of 8.0.1 with all the ANT+ stuff installed. Works the same as before. Strava only sees the sensors when in Airplane mode is on. Once connected, if I turn airplane mode back off, then I loose connection to ANT+ sensors. This is pretty much useless for me as I need data while riding.

Curious question

Since my custom rom had NFC issues and had to uninstall the service would the wireless charging still work? i know i cant transfer files but would the charging part work

Common sense tells me that wireless charging will use hardware, regardless of whether you have the service active or not.

NFC antenna is on battery, wireless charger coil on back cover - two different hardware sets, so the answer is YES.
yep it does work at times though the charging light led stays on when i take it off but plugging in the phone seems to get rid of it
