My normal ring works without fail on my Verizon LG G2. The hotspot for me is located 3/4" below an to the right of the volume rocker.

@govee great, thanks for that. Are you able to take a picture of the sweet spot or mark it on the back of a phone picture for the sweet spot list?

I was excited about receiving the ring, just as excited as a 8y old kid on his birthday while receiving his presents..... but the disappointment was big!
The ring just doesn't work with my D802. Entering a password on the keyboard like: P@SsW0Rd!*k@aj is easier than unlocking the screen with the nfc ring.
The 2 nfc-stickers provided with the ring work fine, but any other NFC sticker/NFC keychain works faster. I see a slight delay when i use the stickers provided with the ring, compared to other nfc stickers/tags.I've tried every single millimeter on the d802 and IMO the sweet spot is 2CM underneath the volume-down button. Every tag gets registered there, but the ring takes about 5 seconds to be discovered.... and it also only works 1/10 times or so.
I don't got any cover or anything on the back.... so i guess the NFC in the d802 is weaker than other phones AND the ring also isn't as strong as any other nfc tag -
Hi @Ferdi
If you're having to find a sweet spot for the individual tags then the NFC field may not be strong enough to trigger the ring. You may need to request a change to Alpha, but before you do that try orienting the ring differently, rolling it slightly through or around the spot in those orientations. Some phones read better one way than the other. From a picture here: http://stellatech.com/lg-d802-optimus-g2-battery-cover-nfc-antenna-(black),a,en,815652.html it looks like you're on the right track, possibly your antenna contacts are not the best though. If you're able to remove the back cover easily you might be able to clean them by gently rubbing them with a pen eraser. -
Hi,
i have a D802 also and the ring won't work with my phone. I have an alpha sizeed ring. When i try it with the nfc tag you include in the package the regonition works fine as long as the tag is flat but when i stick it on the ring the phone won't recognize the tag. So there seams to be an issue with this specific phonemodel and not the ring. The problems has to to with the bending of the nfc tag in the ring so the phone doesn't get enough feedback from the ring. Do you have and tips?
-
try a different orientation of the tag/ring
-
@Lafunamor please don't be that arrogant! i am not a dump user and i tired many different orientations of the ring. The problem is the bending of the ring so i think i won't be able to use the ring till i get another phone or you use better nfc chips. Too bad :(
-
sorry it wasn't meat this way. It's a very simple thing but it helps sometimes and there are phones on which it works only in some orientations.
-
@Lafunamor ok i will try to find a solution and will let everybody know.

@5nickers do try not to be quick to take offense, the most difficult part of troubleshooting is getting past any preconceptions and finding that one detail that has been missed. The only time it'd be acceptable to take instant offense is if we were being directly antagonistic, which I assure you no one is. There would be no point to that.
