How come your golden squares (the thing that connects to the golden pins on the back of the phone) is black?
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Any Debit card/Credit card that has the Blink/fastpay/paypass ability.

Also a U.S. passport and passport card works.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Not working with my US Passport... hm.

Edit: Okay, now this is interesting. I went to turn NFC off and on again to try again with my passport, and it reads "An error occurred" under the NFC in Settings/Wireless & Network Settings. It won't check it anymore. Um... I'd hate to find I have a defective NFC months later when NFC becomes more regular. Anyone else?

Edit 2: Rebooted, seems to turn on fine now, I can check/uncheck NFC in settings, however it's still not responding to my US Passport. Is it a specific type of passport? I guess my passport is pretty old, is there a newer version now with NFC data?

Now it's back to having an error. ... hm.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
it's not, look at the zoomed out pictures from the first few posts, it's a light reflection thing on the camera
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Is anyone else's NFC settings giving you "an error occurred" when attempting to check (turn on) the NFC in the Wireless & Network Settings menu? Mine is. I'm concerned. I don't want to find out I have a defective NFC months later when it becomes popular.

In general, when handling the back cover, are you supposed to avoid touching those two square-ish gold plates? Can do so damage the NFC connectors? I ask because I'm getting "an error occurred" message in the NFC option in the 'Wireless & Network Settings' menu, and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with inadvertently touching/damaging those golden plates when handling my back cover. Maybe moisture from my hands ruined the plates -- I don't know.

Anyone else getting "an error occurred" message when trying to turn on ("check") their NFC option?
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
this... will never happen.

also. where do all these websites get this google card where they can test their NFC ? all the reviews/previews had one. maybe you should try to find one of those.

or search the internet if there is any product that is NFC enabled.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
In general, when handling the back cover, are you supposed to avoid touching those two square-ish gold plates? Can touching them or even exposing them to water do damage to the NFC connectors?

Maybe moisture from my hands ruined the plates -- I don't know?

Anyone else getting "an error occurred" message when trying to turn on ("check") their NFC option? I would really hate to find I have a defective NFC months down the line since there's no practical way to test it now.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
I doubt touching them would do any harm, on the battery cover is just the antenna. Are you running a custom rom and/or kernel? I'm running cm7 and i tested mine on a credit card and it picked it up, unknown tag type though, but atleast I know it's working.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
My phone is not rooted. I'm on 2.3.1 and running ADW launcher.

I don't have one of those fastpay credit cards, so I can't test it, but my main concern is the inability to even turn on NFC. Can anyone recreate this? I can only turn it on ("check") the NFC option after rebooting, but once unchecked, I get the error message when trying to turn it on/check it again. I get "an error occurred."

Possibly I have a defective NFC? Can anyone else recreate by checking/unchecking their NFC option? Would appreciate the feedback.
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
Just tried and I got the error after I checked/unchecked it a few time, then it wouldn't work anymore. I tried killing the nfc process and clearing the data but that didn't do anything, rebooted and now it's working again, scanned my credit card.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
this topic reminds me of something....

we'll never going to get after market battery cover for the Nexus S due the NFC antennae build in, into all the back door covers :(

so, how do we get a replacement if it breaks?

LOL :p too used to buying after market stuff, that i've no clue what / where to get OEM parts :D
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
i do not have that error, i left NFC enabled on the phone, to see if i can find anything it can read. LOL :p
[Nexus S General] spacemanspiff33:
SIGH

I was walking down the streets in Hong Kong last night with my GF after a gongshow day of shopping (ugh) and I saw a restaurant with a sign proudly displayed on the front reading GOOGLE PRO STORE! CHECK US OUT ON GOOGLE! and it had the little orange tag which I am guessing would have had NFC info in it.....I was super tired at that point so I just kept walking, but after a few minutes I really wished I had just 'tried' it and seen for myself if the NFC actually worked :(:(

Epic Fail Me......
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Thanks, Ikon8, for trying. My experience is exact - minus the actual scanning of anything (I don't have anything to test it with). This is slightly more reassuring. Can any one else also confirm similar experience with attempting to turn on/check the NFC option? Can anyone else also get the "an error occurred" message?
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
When you uncheck it, and re-check it again, does the error message occur? Can you turn the NFC option off and on without issue?
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Same behavior after 4 iterations of check / uncheck
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Yes, I just checked for you, and my phone does the same thing.

Seems to be just a bug in the software, IMO.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Thanks Krohn.

For what it's worth, I reported it to Google. If anyone wants more attention brought to it, feel free to visit the link and star the report. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13581
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
US Passports didn't start including an RFID chip until 2006, so an older one shouldn't respond. Some countries a few years earlier.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
This is what I do. When I set it on my wallet my credit card or student id will set it off.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
The passports with NFC have a little rectangle with a circle in the middle right on the front cover.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
nope, because at first i had not clue WTH it was, and wanted to safe battery power, but as i found out the battery was quite decent, then i re-enabled all the radio features in the phone.

no errors message as i turn it on or off
[Nexus S General] splat matt:
From my understanding google included a sheet in the packaging to test out the NFC capability.

MT4G (HTC Glacier) using XDA app.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
nope, pretty sure that NFC card is bigger than the whole box
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
Maybe for demo kiosks. My box only has instructions and warranty info.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
No problems here with turning NFC on and off.
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
wtf...... No one is talking about that
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Haha, wrong thread I guess? My email notifications lie to me!!!!

The email in the screenshot is what I was replying to.
[Nexus S General] macca118:
Sorry to open an old thread, but I just got my nexus s i9020a (2.3.4) and I am also having this problem with turning nfc on (i.e. it displays "an error occurred" when trying to tick the checkbox).

Anyway, I was playing around and noticed through launcher pro you can add an activity to the home screen, including one for launching nfc service. I added it and when I try to launch it, it says the application is not installed on my phone.

I had a look at the nfc service app in the applications menu and it is listed as being 4kb in size.

I went looking in the system/app directory and found the apk listed there as 48k, tried to reinstall it, but it just force closes.

I'm thinking it may be something to do with this file/app ??

When I got my phone I had to reinstall youtube because it was not showing in the app drawer, but the market stated it was installed, I'm wondering if there is a similar thing here.. ??

I have not rooted my phone and don't really want to at this stage, if this does turn out to be a hardware issue.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or assistance? I've tried all the suggestions of leaving the battery out for a while, exit, re-enter settings etc, I just can't get it to turn on
[G Tablet General] ellis125:
If you can get into clockwork and the only problem you have is that you dont have a rom to flash, you can mount the sd card from the cwm menu and then put a rom there to flash. Not sure if thats your only problem tho
[G Tablet General] JoeMofknDot:
yeah i tried that installed clckworkmod.8 and vegan beta 5 as update.zip and it fails to locate files tried changing recovery to sdcard2 and still no luck but thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyanide14:
Hey guys, happy new year first off. Now, my problem started right after new years where I receive a text message from a friend. Keeping in mind that i have a i896, i flashed to cognition 2.3b8 or w/e the newer version is called. I try to reply to my friend when all of a sudden it fails. So I try calling him instead, that failed as well. I tried texting and calling other people but that failed as well, yet my browser still continued to work. After an hour, no data can be found on my phone so now I am confused. I probably rebooted my phone 10 times by now. Anyhow, I reboot it and launcher pro settings are messed up, saying im not a pro member when i clearly paid for it as well as my phone not being able to receive any data from Rogers. Now, I randomly get a text from a friend, in which i cannot reply to once again. Is there anyway to fix this issue as it is quite random?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyc0642:
Sounds like a modem issue to me man. I would reflash and make sure you follow the instructions to the letter.

Also please post in the correct forum, this is not a development issue, it is Q&A.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
I get asked all the time the proper way to calibrate a battery; so, here's a proper guide for you guys to use to do so and save some post space ;)

How to: Calibrate a Battery correctly on the CDMA Hero.

Charge the phone to 100%

Boot the phone into recovery.

Wipe battery stats

Power phone on, and unplug your fully charged phone

Use your phone until the battery dies. Completly. You want to use it until the phone automaticaly powers off due to low battery

Recharge phone

Repeat the Charging/Killing proccess about 2-3 times

Your battery is callibrated!

Hope this helps cut some questions down!!! :D

Afraid to let my phone die completely like that. 3x I've had my sdcard need a reformat after the battery died. Only have let the battery die about 5x.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahager88:
Really?

I recalibrate after every new rom or update to base rom.

Not needed, but I'm weird. :cool:

Never hurt my sdcard. Had this phone over a year and a half now.

I've got a transcend 8g class 6 right now and it got messed up just this weekend letting the battery die. It did it the other 2 times on an old card then eventually went tits up not long after that. Needles to say 3 of 5 isn't a good ratio so I'll not be letting the batt die on my phone any time soon.

Hello all! Happy New Year!!!

I was hoping someone would be able to help me out with this issue.

I bought a hd2 from a guy who said it wouldnt start-up all the way. Well i got it and it only boots to the stick together screen.

I downloaded T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_3.14.531.1 from tmobiles website and ran the utility but it stops at 8% and gives an error 262. After doing this it wont even go to the stick together screen, just the bootloader screen.

I downloaded a stock rom( //xdafil.es/HD2/TMOUS/RUU_Leo_1....14_2_Ship.zip ). Put it on the SD, booted the phone, started the process and then got this:
