I didnt check my log, but my NFC didnt work either at first.

However then I installed Smart Connect from the play store (had it disabled) and it said that Smart Tag doesnt work anymore in JB and only Smart Connect works now for NFC.

Tried it and indeed, it worked again with Smart Connect. Plus more features than Smart Tags.

noob question but how do you use SmartConnect with Smart Tags?

Re: NFC not working after JB update

beaver — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:42:53 GMT

The NFC tags are seen as devices. So you hold them onto the phone and it recongizes them. Then you can select them in the device list.

you just have to open NFC in settings > More > check NFC > now if you have a smart tag just let the back of your phone (with the NFC sticker) touch and recognize the smart tag and taraaaa you can now use the smart tag using smart connect

I had SmartConnect installed

I uninstalled SmartTags, disabled stamina mode and enabled a SmartConnect profile and..now it's working

A little something else I just found out:

I bought some cheap NFC stickers and found out they didnt work with my Xperia P, because Sonys system saves all the data on the phone and not on the tag itself.

However I just found out there is an app called SmartTag Maker, which converts every generic NFC tag to a Sony compatible one (Blue, Black, Red, White, etc.).

Works like a charm.

Re: NFC not working after JB update

xtraJosh — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:11:13 GMT

unfortunately for me, NFC is still dead. i followed the necessary steps, i already repaired it and still nothing happened, i guess i have to wait for a follow up

After you unistall Smart tags app and install Smart Connect app from Play store you need to restart your phone (hold down power button and both volume keys for couple of seconds.) That should fix your problem. Let me know how it all went. 🙂

on ICS, i used to have the smart tags app first to detect it then go with the smart connect app pre installed and updated. it worked with the tags.

after the jelly bean update, the nfc turns on but it cannot detect the tags. i used the same process i did during ics yes nothing happens.

i repaired the phone using pcc and still nothing happens. finally, just yesterday, i hard reset the phone, still nothing, then i repaired again. and nothing happened. now, still nothing happens. i installed the nfc taginfo mentioned on the other thread and still it won't detect. i'm doubting its a hardware problem but i have not dropped the phone whatsoever. im starting to give up with the nfc feature.

Try clearing data and clearing cache for smart connect. Then disable smart connect and enable it after 5 minutes. Then reset the phone. Wait for the phone to reboot and then just bring your nfc tags close to the phone, it should recognize them as new devices.... Hope this helps

Please xtraJosh,

My nfc not working in jelly bean.

Tell me the steps that you did to make it work.

I Already tried everything ...

Re: NFC not working after JB update

Scarface9 — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:11:17 GMT

Repeat the steps i gave to josh

Re: NFC not working after JB update

Jackson7272 — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 22:14:12 GMT

I already follow your steps several times but failed.

Two questions, I have to do steps before updating the Smart Conect or after updating it by play store?

And the reset is only turn off and on again, or reset to original configuration?
