[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] emuandco:
I seem to have some NFC problems. TBH I don't know if this is due to Hyperdrive, ShinTo or was since forever that way... I just tried to activate it the first time to read a NFC tag. My mobile has the original QI back cover and battery and thus should be able to use NFC. If I switch it on, it turns back off immediately telling me that Android Beam is not available. and NFC will stay turned off.. Any idea?
