This has been changed in JB. There won't be any icon for it when activated (I guess it's because there are already tons of icons for everything in the status bar). If you want to see if it's on or off, add the widget or check the menus. Did the NFC work with other devices before the update? Because if the tags are still working, it seems like the NFC itself is working as intended.

I bought my Xperia T last week and it was on ICS out of the box and as soon as I opened it I put my sim in it and connected it to PC launched PC companion and there was JB update and ofcourse I updated it...I didn't test NFC on ICS so I don't know...it just won't detect my brothers Xperia S (on ICS) I took my friends Galaxy S3 on JB and it detects brothers Xperia S without problems but my Xperia T won't it only detects smart tags...

Well, then I'd say there is nothing wrong with the phone. As long as the tags are working, it will be able to detect any other NFC devices as well. Just make sure NFC is turned on in both ends. You need to put the phones NFC-spots at eachother for them to detect. Just give it a few more tries and I'm sure it will work just as you want it to.

Just tested it again,tags are working perfectly I don't even have to touch them to detect,phone detects them from 1 centimeter space between but just won't detect Xperia S and everything is on on both sides NFC and android beam I'll try with other headsets that are NFC powered...
