[Q] NFC on HTC One - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

NFC on HTC One has issues. My device for one doesn't show any NFC icon on the status bar when switched ON and there is no Android beam option at all. Please share any information on the NFC feature in this thread. Thanks

And what kind of issue is that ? Mine doesn't show it too and I'm very happy it doesn't (why would one want another place in status bar taken ?). Also, why do you need Android Beam option ? If you tick the NFC option, everything works as it's supposed to, doesn't it ?

Well i tried with other phones, it doesn't detect my phone, i tried with other HTC One user too.........will it detect like bluetooth or should we add the devices and thereon proceed? But i've seen in forums with other users getting this icon, so i thought mine isnt working. I tried to pair with Sony devices and it didnt detect mine.

Mine doesn't show the icon as well and everything works fine (GSM 4.2.2). I can use NFC in order to connect and beam to my galaxy nexus without problems. The only thing is that the NFC chip in the One sits right behin the camery, while in other phones its inside the battery. So you have to position the phones right.

Just now tried with XperiaS..... it doesn't even detect, the range for NFC to work should be 20cms right? I tried with other HTC One as well.

20 cm? Not really. 20 mm maybe.
Hold the phones back to back.

I think there isnt a 'n' logo in 4.2.2 because a lot of people who updated to 4.3 from it were asking what the n logo was but still nfc is on just no status bar logo?

Yeah i guess its 20mm, it worked fine when i joined the nfc modules face to face without any distance it worked, with Xperia S. :good:

On my GSM One this N(escafe)-icon was added with 4.2.2 update, but it has been removed by a minor update only some days later. Maybe some carrier models didn't receive that minor update or skipped the first one.

That's the way it works On some devices you also need to know where the NFC chip is. On One it's placed right above the camera, while most other phones have the NFC integrated into their battery (GNex). So you might have to hold the devices in an awkward way in order to get a connection.

NFC issue

Hi all,
I'm having problems with NFC in my HTC One and perhaps you can help me in order to solve them.
I mean, I bought NFC tags (Myfare Classic 1K), and initially I worked with them very well using NFC Task Launcher and Tasker. My issue is that I can read these tags sometimes... but sometimes no. It's frustating. Of course I have activated NFC option in my mobile and I put it close to the NFC tag using the area of the rear camera (where is located the antenna).
I try to connect with my new bluetooh headphones by NFC (Sony MDR-1RBT) and sometimes connect... sometimes no.
My HTC One is not rooted and bought free.
Any idea? Help please.
Thanks a lot!!
You probably have the same issue as I do. We've got faulty NFC chips. I'm sending mine in for warranty soon
I looked for information about NFC problems with HTC One but I didn't found nothing. Bad NFC Chips? Oh my God! Is this usual and reported?
I thought that perhaps it would be something related to software (i.e. some process running in background)... but if we are talking about a hardware issue I'm going to worry a lot.
Could we expect news with new release of android? What do you think?
Thaks a lot for your answer!
Best regards
Did you unlock your screen before using the tag? U must unlock first or the tag wont work
Yes, I try it after unlocked screen. I am not able to say when NFC fails or woks, but I try to read tags with unlocked screen.
Thanks

For me, mine I think is a little loose. I cna read NFC tags if I put it near my camera and press it really hard against the phone. That seems to push the NFC chip back into place and I hear the "Boop" when it detects the chip. A fully working will beep instantly upon contact.

Obviously that would mean a hardware issue. In my case, doing always the same I get different results. I don't press the tag against the phone, and trying with the same tag I don't get the same result (sometimes reads the tag and sometimes not). It's crazy.
I haven't been able to get nfc to work either. I don't have any proper tags but I tried my MasterCard paypass that worked fine in the past. Can somebody with working NFC try to scan their MasterCard with paypass and let me know if it works?

[Q] GPS and NFC issues with HTC ONE

Hello all,
I am the new proud owner of an HTC ONE from Sprint. Here's what I have on it:
HBOOT v. 1.44.0000
TWRP Recovery v2.5.0.0
Cyanogenmod v. 10.1-20130529-NIGHTLY
Using Google Maps and GPS Status both search for a GPS signal, but are unable to get a lock. This is even under the most ideal conditions (clear skies, outside and standing on top of a multi-story building). Since this has been a constant problem I've set up the phone, I wonder if I am missing some drivers for the device. Is there anything I can do to get my GPS working?
The second, perhaps loosely related issue, is with the NFC; I have it enabled, but even when I have it placed near another phone, nothing happens (the other phone, interestingly, sees mine). I'm not sure if this is because the cm nightlies are still immature, or if I am missing a driver.
Please let me know your thoughts! And thanks in advance for any help!

Probably an issue with CM10, have you tried on a Sense based rom?

I was worried that would be a suggestion. Frankly, I don't like Sense at all. But considering that I've been struggling to find a good vanilla Android ROM, I guess I might have to switch to a Sense-based ROM. But that's for another thread.
I also have no GPS using cm10.1 nightly 6-9-13. Any chance on a fix soon?
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
Just use a different rome till cyanogen is stable till then if you stick with it you will have to continue dealing with nightlies till a release candidate is up that will be more stable since it will most likely be the final release minus a few small things that will probably be found/
Any recommendation for a good rom?

Hi all, just got the T today. Everything works fine except I cant get the wifi to work, It detects my wifi network but when I connect to it it tries and eventually says authentication problem. I am on stock 4.1.2.
Thanks.

Yes, I have used it with numerous phones and laptops etc and never had any trouble with it. I am going to try flash a ftf and see if it fixes it.
That didnt help it, I also flashed Miui and it still doesnt work.
If it makes any difference my phones bootloader cannot be unlocked.

Umm, did you try to change the safty to WPA2?
Might also be a problem with the WiFi module.. Maybe try the warranty service, if your phone is new?

No, I bought it second hand, I managed to get it to connect once earlier after removing security but its not working anymore.
Edit: When I have no security on the phones says "obtaining ip address" for about 20 seconds and then seems to reset itself and repeat.

Pioneer Next 4100

So my radio came in today and android auto doesn't work. It says my phone was not compatible. I have a rooted note 4 running android 5.0.2 (cm 12). I also used my fiancée sg5 with the new stock 5.0 and it still doesn't work! Anybody care to help?
Anybody?
Did you try calling pioneer?
I'm having the same issue. I have a rooted T-Mobile LG G3 running 5.0.

Close on the weekend
There are YouTube videos of car audio installers using it so it has to work
Same here, I have an HTC One M8 rooted and its not working for me either. I read the manual and apparently you need a CD-MU200 interface cable from pioneer. Don't know if that's bulls**t or not, but we'll find out. I have the USB setup so that I can use the built-in port in my car. I don't know if that's what the reason is or not. I'll have to call pioneer on Monday.

Well that's three people with the same problem
I think you need the Google apps loaded for one thing, and having an account enabled may be even better.
Lollipop is essential at this time, and I think 5.1 is even better.
Nexus also has a better chance of working.
I am trying to get developer mode working and I am mainly using my Nexus 7 2012 w/ 5.1 because my 2013 N7 and N9 both are still on 5.0.
But its just about api21 that AA runs on. 5.1 has api22 and its confirmed AA is working on "normal" lollipop, I mean 5.0.x
I'm running 5.0.1 on my M8 and Android Auto isn't working

Also it's important to have latest GMS installed.

Check version you need, download it and install. I can bet all of you have old versions (as I was surprised some time ago that it's not updating and I was stuck on 6.x when for months there was 7.x available)

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. I went on the reviews for android auto app on Google play and it seems a lot of other people are having the same issue.
Theres a new update on pioneer site, but didn't fix problem.
Maybe
You can generally find the Android Auto button located on the home screen of your car's digital display. How to navigate to the home screen will vary by manufacturer, so check your car's user guide.
I plugged in my phone, found the Android Auto button, but it won't open.
If this is the first time you’re using Android Auto in a particular car, be sure to unlock your phone and accept the terms and conditions on your phone’s screen after you’ve connected and touched the Android Auto button on your display.
Also, make sure that the "Only connect to known cars" setting in the Android Auto app is unchecked.
The voice command button takes me out of Android Auto.
My USB cable isn't working.
Not all USB cables will work with all cars. Your car's user guide should have information about the best USB cable to connect your phone to the display.

No notification sound through bluetooth??

Hi,
My phone is the D5803 z3c and after staying up late trying to understand rooting the phone I think I got it all together. However, I downloaded a bunch of images so honestly I don't even know what rom i'm running. It's a basic pre-rooted/debloated rom from the 1st page of the development section.
Anyway, I use a bluetooth headset at work. I am a limo driver and my rides are dispatched via text. My bluetooth headset works fine, except it will not play the notification sound for texts, only the ringtone when a phone call comes in. The media/phone box is checked. I can play youtube videos and sound comes through, but for some reason the notify doesn't work.
This is important to me, sometimes I leave my phone on the seat and can't hear it due to the music or whatever, but with my Nexus 5 I just came from, it worked right out of the box .
I've tried searching, and didn't come up with much. I also tried playing around with some apps, and I think for a little bit I used an app that seemed to do the trick, but now it doesn't work anymore.
ANY IDEAS???
Note: I have 2 bluetooth headsets, same thing on both. On my Nexus 5 both worked fine.

Okay, I just thought I had this problem... here the same, after the latest update to 5.1.1.
I'm try with 2 bluetooth headsets (Plantronics - Jabra) and a full factory reset but no notifications for text messages (sms, chat, whatsapp ect ect ect)
Italian Sony Xperia Z3C (Vodafone) Android 5.1.1 - 23.4.A.1.200
I found a thread on another forum of someone complaining about the same thing. He had a xperia z1. Supposedly Sony support emailed him and said xperias do not support this feature?? This doesn't seem like a complicated feature.
I should note my rom that I loaded is 5.1.1. qmaxmobile, did you have 4.4.4 on your phone and it worked? I'm willing to downgrade to 4.4.4 to get this feature to work, although I am happy with my 5.1.1 setup now.
I'm willing to pay a bounty if someone can create a mod so I can have this feature!

Well I decided to flash a 4.4.4 ROM because the battery life is supposedly better (althought my 5.1.1 had great battery life, almost 7 hr SOT). However same thing, no notification through bluetooth.
qmaxmobile, what rom were you running on 5.0.2 to have notifications play through through bluetooth? I only found one 5.0.2 rom and I couldn't get it to boot, and seems like others in the thread had the same problem.
I really need bluetooth notifications. Seems like a simple app would do the trick, but haven't found much except a thread on a forum saying Xperia phones don't support it.
So I posted on the Sony Xperia forum, and a sony rep confirmed that Sony firmware does not support this feature (why????). I tried high and low to find an app in the play store to get it to work, but no dice.
Supposedly the rep also said that if you get a Sony bluetooth headset you can get the sony app to control that feature. I'm not so sure....
If anyone can confirm a sony bluetooth headset will in fact work with stock xperia firmware, please post!
The only option I was able to think of was to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom. I just did that and it worked. My DRM keys are backed up in case I decide to relock. So now I'm running Ressurrection Remix rom. It's a shame, as I didn't mind the Sony interface.
Well, I did unlock the bootloader and loaded a custom version of android. It worked. But I went back to the Sony firmware because battery life was better.
I picked up a Sony bluetooth MBH20 headset, and you guessed it, still doesn't work.
There HAS to be a way! $25 if you create a simple app that makes this work for me!

Well, I don't know about you, but notifications go out when using Bluetooth for me on the latest Sony stock room.
You may try the apps SoundAbout, or Mono Bluetooth Router, though.
That's so weird. No idea how it works for you. I found a few threads on other forums complaining about the same thing. I even posted on the Sony forum and support said I need a Sony app and a Sony headset because this "feature" isn't supported.
I did monkey with SoundAbout, no luck. There are so many options, and I didn't see a specific one for this feature.
