I Have been using Hyperion battery for six month with no problem and the NFC function works as describe,. I have been transferring pictures and paying through NFC at GAP and vending machine with no problem with Google Wallet.

Yes you can, the only difference between this and the stock battery is that this has a higher capacity, and nfc will not work with this battery.

This T989 battery doesn't support NFC. As far as I know, NFC includes these main functions: S-Beam; Google Wallet; Read NFC tag. This battery can't function as these.

No, the YESOO-GS3 Samsung Galaxy S3 4300mAh Extended Battery does not support NFC.

To answer this question yes the battery does come with NFC. I successfully beamed a picture from the S3 to a Nexus 5 worked just fine.

The NFC (near field communication) chip is located on the OEM battery not the phone itself. These batteries do NOT have the NFC chip

The one that I have is BB Q5 SQR100-2 (bought from Mango Wireless) and it is clearly stated in gsmarena.com that HSDPA 1900 MHz band is supported. Don't know about NFC because I don't have any device to test it with.

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.

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.

You know how some phones can communicate by being at a close vicinity by something called NFC, usually a capability on android phones, well sometimes that chip is put on the batteries. This battery doesn't have that but if it's on your phone as opposed to your battery you're fine

the battery has nothing to do with NFC. The samsung galaxy s3 has an NFC chip. Swapping the battery with this one will not affect it at all. The two are not related.

Yes its true. Recently I discovered that by removing the NFC sticker inside the battery makes the battery somewhat slimmer. If its too much of a hassle I would recommend going with another brand.

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 wanted to apologize for my incorrect answer to your query. I had gone to the Anker website and found nothing on their site regarding this battery, or for that matter, any of their batteries having the NFC antenna. However, upon close inspection of my battery, I can in fact see the windings of what I am assuming is an antenna on one side of the battery? Again, my apologies and I hope this new information helps.

I'm not sure if you read the previous answer. The battery has something to do with NFC/Google wallet. You're right about the NFC clip/hardware is built into the phone itself. However, to make it function you need an antenna and it's build into the battery. So if you buy a battery which is NOT NFC compatible, which means it DOES NOT has the antenna build into it. Therefore your NFC function might not work. I've test and proved it. About the battery, I had bought 8 Hyperion battery for different Samsung phone already. I'm lucky so far I don't have any problem.

yes it is indeed, I got mine in an original package. the package contain the battery a little of Intructions and a plastic case for the battery. oh and the battery is NFC capable, so I guess it's the real thing. by the way if you want pictures just email me

It has been my experience that NFC is rendered unusable with the battery case on. I tried it with both wireless audio streaming pairing, as well as tap to pay purchasing, both of which work before and after using the battery case. Now, I am *not* saying don't buy this case. I highly recommend it. It's just not going to allow you to use NFC when it's on your Nexus 5.
