Why is the NFC icon still displayed in the notifications bar when NFC is off

[Android Central Question]

NFC was going berserk for a while switching on and off and making that notification sound, but now it's constantly displayed in my notification bar even though NFC is actually switched off.
I'm going to keep trying reboots to see if that fixes it...

You'll likely need to ask Samsung about that. It's undoubtedly a modification they made to Android when they skinned it with TouchWiz.

Stuff like that is why I prefer to buy my phones from Google or use a phone that runs an unmodified version of Android.
