Does this battery really have NFC? Does NFC really work?

Yes, this battery does have the NFC antenna built in it (although it is not listed on the label or manual). Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-ranged wireless communications technology that allows two devices to exchange data when in very close proximity of each other, usually by tapping the other device. Keep in mind that in order for this feature to work the other device must also possess the NFC chip in the device. The device contains the NFC chip and the battery has the NFC antenna. I hope this helps.

Some manufacturer's put the NFC chip in the battery itself. I know Anker is one of the few aftermarket battery producers who does have the NFC chips in the battery as well, but apparently not this one.

I can't tell, but it does not work like an original one. I never tried the NFC chip with it, but a charge only lasts about half as long.

The battery I received says it does but when I lifted the label I found there was no chip and the battery to be a fake. I called amazon to complain and they said to return everything and buy directly from them and they guarantee it will be real. Beware marketplace sellers are selling counterfeits labelled as samsung OEM products.

I bought a nexus 4 3 months ago and yes, the tags work with it. The NFC Task Launcher app may say that it could not write to the chip, but it actually does.

I never used NFC. On the other hand this model does not have Android operating system. HR

This is an older thread but I see a lot of "nearly" correct answers. So here is what it actually means when a battery says Non-NFC. NFC is a very low power communication protocol used to transfer or "read" small payloads. The down side to NFC is that it requires a rather large antenna compared to other transmitters found in phones. The answer is to have the NFC chip integrated into the phone itself and to use the casing of the battery to wrap a large foil antenna in. Since the chip is inside the phone circuitry and the battery is essentially external a tx/rx connection is made through an additional pin on the battery of "NFC" equipped batteries (meaning batteries with the antenna integrated". To close, if a phone is NFC capable the circuitry is inside the phone. If a battery is NFC capable it means it has a fourth pin and an antenna wrapped around it used to communicate with the NFC chip.

The only device I can test this with is my Nexus 10 tablet, and both devices vibrate when placed back-to-back. I'm assuming this means the NFC is in fact working, but to this day I've never successfully transferred anything between the devices. I don't have any other NFC devices to test it against, unfortunately.

Near field communications. Ive searched but cant find exactly what its for but I believe with nfc it is a better battery. The one I ordered works great

The packaging said yes it has NFC. I can enable it with CM, but sorry I have not been able to try and verify it works yet.

these batteries work for the S4 BUT the NFC will not work with them. If you want to use the NFC feature you need to get this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CU3OJDO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Dan

Are you NFC settings enabled? Pull down from the top of the screen with two fingers. Look for "NFC" make sure under the words there is a green line. Go back, open the app, go to write have it do something simple, then find " write " place the tag near the bottom of the phone right where the battery is ( NOT the charger port, the actual battery ) Once it says "Complete" Or whatever the app says, close the app and simply place it near the battery again. If nothing happens then if you got a extended battery without NFC that's why. Please comment back exactly what happens, if it doesn't work. I'll check back

I don't believe so as the NFC doesn't trigger anymore, the NFC chip being located in the battery, that being said, the price was right and it works otherwise. Let's face it, the original battery wasn't great either. Weird smell, burnt out instantly, etc...

My phone is a SM-N900T and it works just not with NFC so no using my Samsung Gear with it!I prefer to have bought an original battery although this price was good.

I am not sure about the NFC portion. I use it to receive the signal from my wife's phone and play the sound on her headphones at night. This is a "one direction" transfer of information, the phone sends information the DBPOWER receives. The DBPOWER is only a receiver.

I have used NFC in a Note II with this battery installed sharing contacts with another Note II that had the Samsung battery. I didn't notice any issues. Using NFC phone to phone is a bit difficult to master. I put the phones back to back.Dan
