“NFS stands for Near Field Communication” ? not really, NFS stands for Need For Speed
its NFC. read carefully
i hate to say this but you’re a moron.
I commented that for a reason, cuz 6 months ago, when i originally commented, it said NFS and they obviously saw my comment and fixed it.
I guess that type of common sense is out of your range. But thanks for thinking i can’t read.
It still says NFS… 🙂 You’re right, he’s wrong.
hahaha, you just slap your own face with slipper filled with dog shit
Hello, after upgrading, the NFC is available in the settings, but is inactivatable! how to proceed?
Does this work on Samsung i900t?
Hey Jordan,
This should only work on the GT-I9100P model. Please do not try it on any other device than the one mentioned in the procedure.
Thanks!
