Hi
My Nexus 6P died (BLOD on primary and recovery image), and I'm looking for a new phone. I've come to consider this Nokia 7 plus and the Pixel XL, they cost around the same in Denmark.
However one feature i cannot find anywhere is what chip set there is in the Nokia 7 plus for the NFC chip. I need the NFC chip to support Mifare Plus (Normally the NFC chip would have to be from NXP for this to be true)
Is there anybody out there who i able to check it on their Nokia 7 plus? I've tried to Google it for hours without any resolve, looking at tear downs and forums. Also no stores nearby have it on display.
Thank you so much in advantage!
Regards
eKristensen
Is there any app that can check this ? I do not want to open my brand new nokia

I don't know sadly. I've ended up ordering the phone anyways to check it. I plan to return it if it doesn't support it.
The reason i ask for mifare plus support is so that i can read my "Rejsekort" we have in Denmark. A card you use for the public transportation. The Nexus 6P supported it, and it has a NXP NFC chip inside.
There is a SDK to get information about the NFC chip, but i don't know any app off my head that can show it...
Info to anybody landing here: I've got the phone now and tested it. As far as i can make it it does have mifare support. The card i wanted it to be able to read, works.
Nokia 7 plus does have NFC Chip.

That wasn't the question. I knew it have a NFC chip, the question was whether or not it supported mifare plus, that spec wasn't available anywhere i could find

So, I'm soon expecting a Galaxy Note N7000 for my birthday in two weeks or so. And I've done googling out the wazoo to no avail being able to see if there's an NFC flash like the AT&T one for NFC. But, I came to this. I searched for NFC batteries and came to this website called exportprive and voila! It's a battery for the N7000, presumably from the Korean model, with an NFC chip! Same MaH and all. So I'm wondering, if I jam this sucker into my new phone when it arrives, will it behave as an NFC phone? Or will I need some kinda ICS ROM flash, or tweak to get it working? Or will it just not work and I should give up?

I actually emailed Samsung support about this and got very confusing answers. They said no NFC support in Gingerbread, but ICS would have it. They kept repeating this, and wouldn't say if I needed to buy a battery with NFC or whether the chip was already in there. Here is their answer:
In relation to your query NFC is not supported with the Gingerbread operation system but future updates such as ICE Cream Sandwich may support this function.
...
Don't fully understand your answer. Do you mean the Galaxy Note may support NFC with ICS at some point in the future, provided that I purchase an NFC battery? Or is there no need to buy an NFC battery?
As the ICS update is soon, I'd be happy to purchase the NFC battery if were likely to be supported, as I would like to develop applications that make use of NFC "smart tags".
Please be clear with your answer.
...
In response to your query, the Samsung Galaxy Note currently would not support NFC with or without an NFC battery. The gingerbread operating system does not support NFC. In the future when the Galaxy Note receives the Ice Cream Sandwich update then the device would have the software that supports NFC.
So there you have it.
But I think the answer is actually no. Samsung customer support just doesn't know anything about the hardware on their phones.
How would ICS communicate with the NFC chip on the battery? I can't believe it has a data bus for that there? Can't see how it would actually be usable.

Well it does... My Galaxy Nexus is exactly the same with the NFC in the battery and it works like a charm.
Now I had the ATT version of the NOTE before I traded it for the International one I have now and what I noticed is the the ATT version has 4 pins / receptors on the battery and the phone itself where the international version only has 3. I am assuming that the 4th pin / receptor would be for the NFC chip and if that is the case then I dont know that the international version is capable of NFC period.
Mmm. Well, I'm sure, absolutely sure, that in the ads on YouTube heralding the great arrival of ICS / premium suite, they would have found a minute or two to tell us that NFC would be available. They didn't, so I think it won't. But I'd love to be surprised to the contrary!

Exactly. there'd have to be a dedicated port for communication and it sounds improbable they'd put one in but not add the feature to the battery.

The GT-N7000 does not support NFC at the hardware level. No software will ever enable NFC on the GT-N7000. No battery will either. The North American Note (SGH-I717) does support NFC, but it does it using two bronze pins in the back of the handset that make contact with two pins in the back cover. This allows the NFC antenna in the back cover to operate. The difference in the appearance of the two types of batteries is trivial.

+1 for that
Following that iFixit teardown of the Nexus 4, it looks like LG and Google did kit out their new flagship with LTE after all—at least, there's a Qualcomm multi-band LTE chip in there—it's just not active. But why whack in a 4G chip and not bother to use it?
There are a couple of theories. The first is network restriction: perhaps one or more mobile carriers have called dibs on an LTE-equipped version to be "released" at a later date. Another theory, as suggested by Ars Technica is that LG's just left the chip in there as a throw over from the Optimus G, on which the Nexus 4 is based, to reduce manufacturing streams. That's possible, but why put a chip in there that costs you extra cash if you weren't going to use it?
On the bright side, perhaps now we'll have a reason for people to actually root stock Android. Maybe, just maybe, someone will be able to activate that dormant LTE chip and gift the Nexus 4 with 4G. That really would make Google's flagship absolutely killer. (Update: As eagle-eyed readers have pointed out, an LTE chip is of limited use without an LTE radio. Maybe someone can hack that together, too...?)[iFixit via Ars Technica]

Hello,
I am developing a custom nfc enabled product and I need to make sure that nexus 4 is able to read and write the chip that will be implemented in this product.
I need a person (one) that has a nexus 4 on hand and would we willing to give me his/her address for me to send the tag to.
You get to keep the tag and all I need from you is to know if it works properly on the non-NXP reader/writer in Nexus 4.
The chip is a cloned variation of mifare classic 1k, and as told by the manufacturer it is NFC forum 1/3 compatible. The chip comes NDEF formatted. Before I order a roll of 12 000 of these I want to be better safe than sorry and test it on nexus 4.
Preferably this said person would be living in Poland/Germany/Czech republic/Baltics/Sweden/Finland for a ultra quick delivery.:good:
Please contact me at r (-at-) skrubis.com or PM me.

Does anyone have any idea which may be the cheapest second hand Windows Phone 8 compatible handset on the market? I'm having trouble searching for something so specific!
Looking to develop and would very much like to use a physical handset rather than the emulator.
Regards, Daniel.

A lumia 620 would be nice. Next in line is Lumia 820 followed by the ATIV S.

Cheers - looks like I should be able to pick one up reasonably cheap too
The Ativ S is one of the "flagship" models with top-end specs; you can buy a Lumia 520 brand new for cheaper than the cheapest used Ativ S I found online.
That said, the Attiv S is a sweet phone if you can afford it. Biggest screen and largest battery of any WP8 device, and the only one with both dual-core 1.5GHz CPU and a microSD slot.

Ativ S has the weird 720p resolution that lumia 820 is lacking. Other than that, for a developer point of view, the two are identical.
I guess it will be the Lumia 520...

If you don't need the full gig of RAM (which will limit apps a bit), the Lumia 520/521 or Huawei phones are probably the cheapest options. If you want to investigate deeper hacks into the OS, then the Huawei Ascend W1 is possibly the best bet right now; it's the only phone with a public "jailbreak".
If you are in UK the 8S and 8X are cheap as hell. So are the Lumias. Most if not all WindowsPhones are cheap as...

Thanks for the input guys, I'll go through eBay and see what I can find.
so hard to find info on this. i may be in the market for a new phone but still haven't upgraded because i don't want a smaller screen. anyone have a recommendation for a phone for at least a 6" screen or should i just stay with my nexus?
You should take a look at the Mi mix from Xiaomi .
I think the look and specs are great .
Only thing what sucks is the price .
1+3T ? hopefully ?
Huawei Mate 8, it has a 6 inch screen, dope device I might say which I recently got.

yeah, this looks amazing....but i can't seem to find or figure out how much bigger or if its even bigger than the nexus 6 with that edgeless display. also, i have to have root and doubt the support on these forums will be that great but who knows
wow, finally found picture it is no bigger than the iphone 7plus. this looks amazing

The Mi Note 2 is just a tad smaller at 5.7" but with killer specs. I ordered two new devices last week to check out as a future replacement for my Nexus 6. I got both the Le Eco Le Pro3 which comes in at 5.5" and the Le Max 2 is 5.7" respectively and on their way. I love the size of my Nexus 6. It fits my catchers mit hands perfectly. On a side note about the size difference between the Mi Mix and the Nexus 6, the Mi Mix is almost identical in overal size.
Mi Mix
(6.25 x 3.22 x 0.31 in)

It should, It works with T-Mobile 4g LTE..
I think they are both 5.7", but I'm considering the Axon 7 and the LG V20.
I'm not a huge fan of LG, but the newer devices look decent. They also have removable battery, and SD support. Sadly, single down-firing speaker. On the up side, the TMobile version has an unlockable bootloader, which is absolutely required in any device I would buy. ZeroLemon has announced an extended battery, which I loved on my Note 3. It sounds like there are some decent tempered glass screen protectors as well. TMobile sells the device, so things like wifi calling are built in, which is nice for a lot of people, even though I don't use it much. It's also already on Android 7, which is nice. I do think it's overpriced, but they are selling out with the Note 7 fiasco, so perhaps not so much.
Axon 7 has dual forward facing speakers, which is really nice on the Nexus 6. It doesn't have a removable battery though does have SD. Screen protectors are harder to come by as well. Bootloader can be unlocked, and ZTE is even providing development support for a CM build. Once that works, the ROM development really accelerates. No wifi calling, they keep saying "soon". So if you need that, be aware. The US version seems to be getting somewhat frequent ROM updates for security etc, but oddly they don't seem to be updating the EU model as much. Android 7 is also "soon", so something to be aware of. I haven't upgraded my Nexus 6 yet, so it's not a huge issue for me.
As I would want it for development reasons, kernel source is required which leaves out Mediatek CPUs etc.. I also like that the stock ROMs are reported to be reasonably decent. I'm not a big fan of the changes made for the sake of changes that you get with the Chinese-market devices. They just have different preferences in software than I do, apparently. The LG and ZTE stock ROMs aren't too annoying.
I know some people in China I am going to try to get them to send me a Mi Mix. They are selling the 6gb version for around $500 US in China and I very highly doubt you'll be able to pick one up in the US for that price
