It's been a while..

Well we all know this is a common issue, however I'm wondering if anybody has some sort of insight on this. I've tried the TW backup and restore method, it doesn't work. If I had NFC I'd stay on CM10 24/7

In the International S3 CM10 forum. They say to go back to ICS TW & turn NFC on. Then go back to your JB ROM & it should work. IDK if this is the same issue with the US variants or not, but it works for the International S3 & CM10.

Someone at Xda said that too. I should mention I'm on Verizon. I tried that method, except with the leaked JB ROM and it did not work unfortunately

From what I have seen posted, the firmware for the NFC chip does not work right on AOSP JB ROMs. So we have to go back to ICS TW & turn NFC on, to get the correct firmware back. Then we go back to our JB ROM & the ICS NFC firmware should stick.

Again, I speak for Int. S3...

Edit: (I feel like eventually I will speak/type in only acronyms...)

I went from a TW JB ROM with NFC turned on to CM10 last night and NFC didn't work. I ended up reverting to TW because my phone got hot while idle and lost battery pretty quickly (see other thread regarding that whole thing).

I think AOSP JB ROMs need the ICS NFC firmware for some reason. I think...

Also, check my last reply in the other thread, to see if you're showing the same thing
