NFC Problems? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I fixed my Xperia... But I have another problem... Go figure... The NFC on my device won't turn on. I can tick the little box but then it never really loads and allow me to use it or look at settings... I tried to do that whole rename the USF folder but I don't have that. -.-
I'm currently running the Avatar ROM...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys so much in advance... I just can't catch a break...

Each section has more than one page, so click on 2,3,4 ect in General & Q&A, I'd look for you but seeing as both of those sections are filled with pointless threads on a daily basis, you'll have to trawl through them.

same here don't have this folder

Hmm but u still even have nfc when u go in the menu or is it gone all together?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Nfc menu is available but nothing happens when I activate it

And u did try the nfc fix? U should have somewhere that folder he speaks of. By me it was under root data and then the folder. I would check every folder u see in root explorer and click on it until u spot the folder u either delete or rename that one folder like in the video.

I flashed the latest CM10.1 nighly (20130603-NIGHLY-YUGA), and after that NFC no longer works. I can check the NFC setting, but it never activates. I'm currently not rooted so the suggested video is of no use. Any other ideas on how to resolve this issue?

NFC is still there, it just doesn't turn on...
I wound up switching to a hybrid ROM but thank you, anyway.

App not compatible with your device

Hello XDA and fellow Tab2 users,
Play store lets me download and install apps. How ever some apps, when started on mij P5110 tab, give the message 'app not compatible with your device'
Most of the times these apps are games. For example PES12.
Is this an known isseu and is there an workarround for this?
I red something about the compatebility of apps with android 4.03?
Thanks in advance..
Greetings,

Please say on what rom you are, for further help.
whatsapp isnt compatible,too.
European Stock rom ICS 4.03, rooted. (rooted or unrooterd, no different outcome within this issue)
Those apps.. working fine one the previous version of Galaxy Tab 10.1
So I think is has something to do with the version of android 4.03
The different thing with whatsapp is, that play store tells me in advance that its not compatible with my device, so i cant download it. Those other apps i can download and they start. After start up the message appears.

That's odd, because my P5110 device with stock rooted ROM let me install and play PES12.
However I know what you mean. Recently I bought NFL Pro 2012, but right after the installation a pop-up message told me this game wasn't compatible with my device.
I figured that it has something to do with CM9 which my device ran at that moment. I haven't re-installed this game after I went to stock again, but when I do I share my findings.
[EDIT] Still don't manage to install the game. There is a pop-up telling me to request a refund so I will contact the developer.
Maybe its the entry in the build.prop? I think the app doesnt recognize the device as ok, thats because it works on different roms.
Just an idea...

Try using twrp and disable signature and md5, but at least you are on the right track about the updater script being one of the issues. Once again Google, there are many people with your issue.

Hi Funky,
alright this app works flawlessly I also tried the other apps from the same developer they work just fine
Do you have any idea how can I remove the gestures one that we installed from the Z2 port? I flashed it from recovery but I don't know how to remove it. Because this app is much better than that one

Why?
I flash those lib and apk files after I installed this app from market.
It can only be advantage to have those files
If you have app smart calling just uninstall it.
If you still want to "uninstall" all files you've flashed.
Open that zip file on PC (or on phone but it's easier to compare when you open it on other device/PC)
And you'll see what files you should delete.
Delete them and that's all
