Regarding the mat - Is it NFC enabled? Meaning do I touch my phone to the mat to activate the Bluetooth connection?

The actual device is NFC enabled, but the NFC is only use for pairing. Once it is paired NFC isn't used any more. The mat is just a piece of sticky rubber.

Yes. It has to (2) NFC tags on a couple corners the mat. The entire mat is not NFC. You just need to download an app to determine what you want the tags to do. There are many in the various app stores.

I have a Samsung Galaxy III, however, I never used the bluetooth, I sent it back as soon as I opened the package and saw that the Bluetooth was in poor condition. I never used the BlueAnt, so I am not sure. Sorry that I cannot answer your question :(

No the mat did not work at all for me. Look for something you can plug into the wall that the battery fits in. Not sure what its called but I have seen them. Don't waste you're money on this mat. Good luck

Unfortunately, no. Apple has yet to see the potential of NFC (one of the many reasons I stand by Android). Sorry :/

I have the powermat charging mat and then the powermat case on my iPhone. For a blue tooth hearing piece, the powermat came with special piece and the Bluetooth sits on that on the powermat for charging.

I have tested the Galaxy S3 and the Nexus 7 with the NFC Tags - NTAG203 chip with no issues. I am not sure about the devices you are specifying. I would recommend ordering a small sample for testing.

R+ has the NFC (Near Field Communication) feature where you touch the devices together and they pair. It is my understanding that R has the standard method of pairing where you hold a button until you get a flashing light and then hope for the best.

Although, I'm not a expert on the subject, my research keeps coming up with compatible with the mini note 3. My question is what's the mini(neo) and is there a non-mini. Do you have access to any non-tectile nfc tags, maybe a friends. you could see if you can read other types of nfc tags to confirm that it's the tectile and not something else that's causing the problem. If it's saying "This tag is not supported" then we can deduce that the nfc antenna picked up something. Also, check for any software updates for your phone before testing further. Good Luck!

From what i've heard the new orders are coming with nfc support. I read this on xda forums from several other people. Look at the comment in the link with white cover (this is pebble blue), there a guy says he got one with nfc.

this is not going to work for you. this requires a small device be plugged into your phone and the device is wireless to the mat.

no Bluetooth - yes for multi-touch, but it seldom works. Now that I have the unit for 3 months, I have had to buy a new charger, I must keep it plugged in all the time to work. Half the time it doesn't connect to my router for internet access, even though it shows connected. About all I can do with it anymore is play Angry birds. No internet - no App store, no video, no e-books. But it was cheap

I'm trying to determine if my iPhone will be compatible with this unit before I buy it. Is there a list of supported phones anywhere? Also, is text messaging supported? I'd like a Bluetooth enabled GPS to read out text messages when they are received by a paired phone. Will this unit do that?

NFC is used for things like using your phone as a credit card at the grocery store. Its essentially a data transfer system, sort of like bluetooth or wifi, its just another one of those. If you get a battery that is non NFC then you can still use wifi and bluetooth, just not NFC, if you don't know what it is then Id bet you don't use it, I never use it, so these batteries are perfect for me.

For Matrix, NOT MATRIX 2: yes, i use it to connect to my laptop and cell phone simultaneously via Bluetooth for both connections.

I haven't tried it myself, but NFC tags (TecTiles) work just fine if you think that info might help at all.

Yes it's works via Bluetooth and it has a magnet on the back so you can stick it anywhere. It's very easy to connect. I love mine and it's so much eaiser to control the unit.

If your phone is Qi enabled, which it is, then It will work with the power mat.
