title: What are the requirements for support of extended length APDUs and which smartphones support it?
body: <p>When I first tried to send an APDU command and got the "Above supported length" error, I assumed that is just a limitation of the NFC chip itself -  no way around it. However <a href="https://www.openecard.org/en/ecard-api-framework/extended-length-problem/" rel="nofollow">this site</a> suggests that it might be a software problem in the Android OS instead:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>many currently available smartphones are only able to transmit 261 Bytes[2] via NFC without major modifications <strong>of the operating system</strong>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Does anyone know more about how to get get around this problem and how "major" exactly the modifications are?</p>
  
  <p>Also, do you have a list, which phones support extended length APDU? If not, we should probably start one, as you really don't find much on google.</p>
  
  <p>I know that the Samsung Galaxy Note II supports it, while Samsung Galaxy S3, Nexus 5 and Galaxy Nexus don't. </p>
