Well it looks like they have figured out a way to get google wallet working
on the nexus s. Anybody think there's a way to get google wallet on our vibrants?

we dont have a nfc chip...

Oh, well I guess that answers that. Thanks for the quick response

The sgs2 has a chip if you want to use it.

NFC support might be able to be hacked on.
We might be able to use the new SGS2 batteries which have an NFC chip in the battery itself (thought I'm not sure if the connection is internal or via BT.) If that fails there are NFC chips that are stickers that can be attached to the backplates of phones that communicate via Bluetooth that will probably work for us and other phones.
see this news item here
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...droid-phones-google-wallet-friendly-20110527/
Although there's a more recent news item that indicates the stickers have some limits vs phone version: http://www.slashgear.com/google-wallet-worries-nfc-stickers-mia-20181114/
Just because we don't have it doesn't mean it won't ever happen, Vibrant FFC mod is a good example.
Also between QR codes/GPS based checkins etc, do you really need NFC? I pay pretty fast using a starbucks card app as is....

Thanks for the info guys.

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.

It could do if they place an NFC antenna on the cover like the stock ones do.

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.

Internet access and proper Bluetooth support through AT&T in the United States.

Auto brightness would be nice.

more ram, more storage, faster processor, curved screen

A bit like google glass - use wifi, but if no wifi, switch to Bluetooth for data. Instead of Bluetooth tethering, the data goes through app and uses whatever data connection phone is using
Stronger vibration
Vibration + sound option

You can do both of these if you install null.
I would like to see a bigger screen with auto dim and a couple more buttons on the sides. The screen could have gone all the way to the edge of the glass but they put that stupid silver stuff around the screen. Also i wouldn't mind if it was a bit wider. Not any taller tho.

Yep, but I was referring to stock. And by standalone apps I meant app that connects to internet without tethering or phone on app

I would like to see..
More ram.
More storage.
CPU not so worried about, if they can manage a better CPU with good battery life by all means.
Battery life improvement.
Completely waterproof.
Wifi with wifi direct support.
Curved screen.
Microsd slot.
Shake to wake device.
Open SDK for developers.

I am all for the usb port in the watch and not on a cradle. Silly to have to hook it up this way every night, and I have seen where the cradles of others have been destroyed, and Samsung still does not have them for sale to us. They are rumored to be "on backorder" now and they claim restocking within 2 weeks, so put in a Backorder request now if you want an extra.

If you add this the watch will get alot bulkier..

I am confident the designers can find a way to add it without bulk. Look at how thin the Note 3 is with everything that it has inside of it. Second gen is always better and usually sleaker, so we will see next Spring with any luck. For now though I do love both the Gear and the Note 3, but the category title did say "Wish List".

Can someone post pictures of the back without a cover on?

As the title says, Id like to see a picture of the back with the cover off. It would help me check for Qi charger compatibility.

You can look in the thread starting with, cunning Samsung for a picture. Also, the Note 4 is Qi compatible with a back cover that enables it. The stock cover does not.

yes I had one of those for my Note 3, got a cheap one on Amazon for like $12? It broke last week, just in time for my upgrade to Note 4. You get what you pay for!

I assume u need a note 4 only wireless qi cover since they changed the shape of the battery, to keep another revenue stream in place for Samsung & suppliers

S health accessories

Not really sure where to post this so I'll try here in accessories.
I've been using s health again since I got my s7 edge and have gotten to like it quite a bit for taking daily health levels.
Has anyone purchased a bluetooth scale or BT blood pressure cuff that works with s health and doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I don't have an S Health one, but I do use my AW Huawei Watch that I use with Google Fit to track my steps and related things.

There is a list of compatible accessories in the app.

I saw that and have been checking them out. I was hoping to run into someone here who has something that works and can five feed back. I looked at the ones listed and I can't tell if they will actually talk to s health or not even after checking out each software pretty closely
