Does this battery have the NFC antenna?

I wanted to apologize for my incorrect answer to your query. I had gone to the Anker website and found nothing on their site regarding this battery, or for that matter, any of their batteries having the NFC antenna. However, upon close inspection of my battery, I can in fact see the windings of what I am assuming is an antenna on one side of the battery? Again, my apologies and I hope this new information helps.

I don't think so, but I have not tested it. there are others that are good batteries that do have working NFC. Look up Onite on amazon.

No it does not have a NFC antenna. You can read more about the battery details on their website at http://www.ianker.com/index.php Hope this helps.

Yes, the extended battery cover has the antennas just like the factory covet. No issues with reception for me using this cover.

Yes, it does. Haven't tried out the NFC, but I put the new, roomier back on the phone, and taped some cut index cards to my old battery to allow it to fit without flopping. I have a soft case for my phone so the larger back wasn't an issue. If you have a hard case, it WILL be an issue.

Its working right now inside my Verizon S3. i wanted to go back to an OEM battery to see if I can get some decent battery life again. Aftermarket batteries don't seem to cut it. The only caveat is that I haven't attempted to used the NFC feature yet but that doesn't matter to me right now.

The wireless charger comes with the NFC tag. They tell you how to install it

Are you NFC settings enabled? Pull down from the top of the screen with two fingers. Look for "NFC" make sure under the words there is a green line. Go back, open the app, go to write have it do something simple, then find " write " place the tag near the bottom of the phone right where the battery is ( NOT the charger port, the actual battery ) Once it says "Complete" Or whatever the app says, close the app and simply place it near the battery again. If nothing happens then if you got a extended battery without NFC that's why. Please comment back exactly what happens, if it doesn't work. I'll check back

It does indeed come with the nfc attached, I have never used wireless charging so I'm not aware of whether or not the qi is present.

I can't tell, but it does not work like an original one. I never tried the NFC chip with it, but a charge only lasts about half as long.

Yes you can, the only difference between this and the stock battery is that this has a higher capacity, and nfc will not work with this battery.

Not the poster, but either the Active uses something with NFC or a completely different battery

I believe it does, although I've never used it. I either use the NFC chip to sync up with my phone or tablet, use the network connection to the camera's built in wifi, or just pull the SD card out of the camera and place that in my computer's card reader.

The battery is NFC according to the specs. It does not work well on calls. The battery interfears with the phone signal and I get complaints from people I call that they can not hear me clearly. So I change out the battery and I return the call and no more interference. Go figure....

"These batteries does come with NFC (Near Field Communication) feature." Translation: Yes, this battery has NFC.

I have a Galaxy S5 and NFC doesn't work when the metal plate is placed on top of battery and under battery cover.

This is an older thread but I see a lot of "nearly" correct answers. So here is what it actually means when a battery says Non-NFC. NFC is a very low power communication protocol used to transfer or "read" small payloads. The down side to NFC is that it requires a rather large antenna compared to other transmitters found in phones. The answer is to have the NFC chip integrated into the phone itself and to use the casing of the battery to wrap a large foil antenna in. Since the chip is inside the phone circuitry and the battery is essentially external a tx/rx connection is made through an additional pin on the battery of "NFC" equipped batteries (meaning batteries with the antenna integrated". To close, if a phone is NFC capable the circuitry is inside the phone. If a battery is NFC capable it means it has a fourth pin and an antenna wrapped around it used to communicate with the NFC chip.

If you are talking about the NFC capabilites. Then Yes. If you are talking about wireless charging chip. Then no. If you are talking about the chip that shows display on the cover. Then yes.

Can someone explain why the battery has anything to do with NFC? I have a Galaxy S4, which is NFC-capable.
