Hi,
there are already some other XDA threads for NFC ReTag available ;-)
but anyway: my nfc hotel key cards do not have a golden chip (or a magnetic strip) ....the nfc stuff is usually not visible --> chip and antenna enbedded within the plastic ... sure the NFC card could have additional features (like a magnetic stripe or a additional contact chip) ...but this is usually not the nfc stuff ;-)

I just use my smart public transport card
oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S!

work with my university card
and with my transport card too
(France University Nice Sophia Antipolis studen card)

Yeeah, should work with EVERY NFC card/token/sticker ....
with one exception: some security chips (e.g. in passports) change for security reasons the id on every read attempt .....so you can´t use them!
But beside that it will work with NFC enabled lift passes, hotel key cards, company badges, puplic traffic tickets, libary cards, student ids and many more

[Q] NFC support

Is Optimus Black support Near Field Communication? I searching for information and found nothing.. It looks like OB is not NFC enabled, i just want to confirm my suggestion...
Yup there's no nfc support

Is it hardware matter or software matter?
Is there any possibilities for OB to be able to use NFC with Gingerbread update?
Hardware. Phone need to have nfc chip installed.

No, not all devices will work with that microSD card.
This sure sounds convenient, but there are some caveats: the first rule is that neither the back cover nor the microSD card holder should be made out of metal; then secondly, we noticed that due to the tiny antenna coil, scanning could become tricky if the reader has a small sensing area -- you'd need to position your phone at just the right spot; and lastly, the phone needs a special background app to communicate with the NFC circuitry.

And also I believe that it should be support by android.. Since OB doesn't have NFC ship, so i think it's android wasn't built to support NFC...

Android 2.3.3 has NFC support built in, also they release the SDK so modders & devs maybe can integrate this to their roms... maybe

Separate. Need to be on board as separate chip.

Looks good.. only problem is if the back is aluminum it will impact antenna performance. I've tried aluminum cases on other phones that take a bar or two off wifi/3G and kill GPS entirely.
The NFC not work with an non-official cover.

false...NFC worked perfectly fine with my nexus s 4g with a cheap, plasticy "S-shape" case. Near Field communication is generally not affected unless, yes, possibly, with an aluminum case so u may be half right
The Note 2's NFC antenna is on the cover. Most 3rd party replacements don't have it.
It's appeared. The selling begin the 3 November 2012 here.

Plug in a USB mouse using a OTG cable and use daydream clock mode for a nice clock. Or maybe use it to shuffle through old photos or whatnot. With OTG and a mouse you can use it pretty much for anything

Aluminium battery cover with NFC?

Hi
I was wondering about a aluminium battery cover but keeping NFC function and came across these
Anyone tried them, any good?
I actually just ordered one of those (without the antenna), I'm not expecting NFC to work but I ordered one of the stick-on antennas anyway... will probably be a while until I can test it as the antenna is shipping from China.
