Hi,
I´m still waiting for my GS3 .... (Yes, the blue one ) ...
Does anyone here has already tested the GS3 with NFC ReTag ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgapp.NFC_ReTAG_FREE
According to my dev console, there should be already some GS3 users with NFC ReTag out there, and till today no bugs were reported, but I would like to double check it and receive some early feedback from the first GS3 users ;-)
No one with a NFC tag and 5 min time?
I'm not sure what you mean by ReTag but I've tested NFC with some tags I bought. Works great.

Maybe he means the program he links to in his post?
Unfortunally I dont have any tags to test with.
Hey ascsa, I have been using your app for a few days now and it seems to be working well. I used an old oyster card and tagged it to a tasker task. It works 90% of the time, the other 10% I have to scan the card once or twice more before it activates the task.
Great app btw
Hi all,
Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting ... should work 100 % ;-) ... Could you describe the 10 % failures a little bit more in detail ?
- scan problem? (-> different sound when recognize a tag)
- nfc retag problem ? (-> e.g. app does not start... no pop-up etc..)
- Tasker problem? (-> e.g. everything seems fine ....but Tasker does not launch the task ..)
THANKS !
Using ReTag Pro version few days, no problem found. Only one disadvantage is license check when you want edit tags properties, settings or so - if you have limited or slow connection, lasts very long time (disable net when it happens). But license is not checked in auto-mode, so i can live with it.
One hint - for turning bluetooth use "ON SILENT" parameter, otherwise you must manually allow it every time.
I'm using it since a few days and it works perfectly fine! I wouldn't want to miss it...
But is there any possibility out there to get NFC working again with a locked screen on a rooted phone? I really miss that on.

As far as I know (and without having a detailed analysis done) i would say NO ... you would have to hack the rom ... but I will have a look at this, if I find some sparetime .... ;-)

Yeah , added the "silent" parameter to bypass the bluetooth user dialog some time ago ;-) .. ..
The license check is done via the google playstore .... should only take some milliseconds with a good internet connection ... on a limited connection it could take a little bit longer .... but it´s done once and then cached on your device for some time .... and yes, automode is not affected ;-) ... I think that´s the best and most userfriendly solution to handle the license checking ... anyway, i recognized that sometimes the google servers are a little bit slow ....

thx man for your answer... as it would be quite important to me, hacking the rom would be fine, however, as a noob as i am (well, studying law doesnt help you anywhere in real life ) i don't really know where to start... so my help would be limited to testing
still, the entire NFC-thing does only make sense to me if everything goes fast, which is not the case as long as you have to input your code before using it.
well, let's hope someone can find a solution
and by the way.... still no problems using NFC Retag on the S3
working fine here, using work door pass to turn silent mode on and off via tasker
Update 1.6 is released ;-) ... no problems so far ;-)
Car mode (BETA function) has a strange behavior on the galaxy s3 ---> In case of issues, turn on the "do not show" option or try the alternative car mode option via settings ...
BTW: Am I the only one, who does not understand why samsung implemented this poor car mode ? from my point pf view, the GS 2 car mode is much better .....

I get a license check every 1-2 days. Could you move this check into a background thread and allow for 2-3 failed checks (which could be more frequent than 1-2 days) before you limit the app? This frequent check is rather annoying, especially since you can't skip it.

As mentioned, automode is not affected.... So you can tap a tag and perform the activities without any license check for month if you don't want to change your activities ... I think it's a fair solution ;-) ... The license check for the other functions is done and cached via playstore... It's pretty much a standard licensing policy... And should only take some milliseconds...
Which play store version do you use?

Play Store 3.5.19
Just got the app a week or two ago and find myself changing things quite often
I guess that will change once I find a good setup for me

Anyway, I keep your request in mind ... I´m working on a new UI and some major improvments ... perhaps I can tweak the license check, too.
Thanks. Developers like you that actually listen to their users make me glad that I bought your app. Keep up the great work

Did someone found any issues with NFC ReTag and the new US carrier branded variants of the Galaxy s3 ???
NFC ReTag and Samsungs touchwiz Jelly Bean
Hi,
anybody with the official Samsung JB update out there, who could test the NFC ReTag app?
JB isn´t a problem, but samsung likes to "improve" the android standard with touchwiz and has brocken some apis before ... and I think I have to wait a couple of days (weeks??) till i can get the official JB update within my country .... so an early double check makes sense to me...
! feedback highly welcome !

Hello ,
I did installed the IGO navigation software and I can't open the application .
I got the icon on today , the icon in programs , but no chance to start it. Does not react to any enter , click or anything?

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.
One of the most common tasks i do many times a day, is turn the wifi in my ATT Tilt on and off. For this I have to go to the Comm Mgr and toggle it on and off. I've always wanted a one tap way of doing it, and had used BatteryStatus in the past, but its icon was too small. With Manilla2D, we dont even have that option anymore, but we do have the nice big manilla launcher.
So i put together some C++ code from myself and from samples around the web, and made a simple exe that just toggles the wifi on and off. I've cabbed it up, so that it will install into \Program Files and put a shortcut in \Windows\StartMenu\Programs called AKToggleWifi.
You can now add it to the Manilla launcher and it will show up as in the attached screenshot.
You can uninstall it from the Settings\System\Remove Programs.
I havent tested it on any device except my Tilt/Kaiser running a 6.1 ROM from Sakajati (Hyperdragon/Blackstone).
let me be the first one to say: THANK YOU.
many, many people have been waiting for this kind of solution before.
regards
bro
nice solution =D
if you got your keyboard open (for the tilt) you can always hit fn + right and it has the same effect. i just discovered the button a few days ago and it made my life easier but so shall this app.
thanks
Just flat out awesome. Works perfectly, using the default AT&T WM6.1 ROM minus bloatware.

mmh, i use such a wifi toggle since one year, so i´m wonderíng why you made a new one, or did i miss anything ?
the one i´m using at the moment is also here at xda devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2788804&postcount=2
here is another one that is 2 Years old but i think i rember it works only on wm5
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/index_en.html (look at SmartUtilities)
so thank you for your work, but maybe next time some searching ?
big thanks for this function!!!
i'm looking for this for a long time!
i have a P3300 with alot physical buttons
then i searching to activate the wifi without switching to my home screen or comm manage to activate it.
if you can create samething for phone function
i'll be very very happy !!!!
thanks again for your work !!
i wanted something extremely simple to use, needed no configuration and didnt need other apps to be installed on the device. Hence i wrote this in C++. Yes, other tools can do more and thats great, but they all might require some setup. Since i flash often, i wanted something for myself that i can just use without using any brain energy. Hence the simple app. I'm glad some people find it useful... i certainly find it extremely useful for my own usage style. I released it to everyone rather than keep it to myself, because i have benefitted from the work by other developers on this site, and even if 1 other person finds it useful, i'm satisfied.

do you mean you want something to turn just the phone radio off, similar to how this one turns wifi off? i'll look into it..havent looked at those api's yet, but it should be possible. However, just out my curiosity, why you want to turn the phone off so often?

Just notice that S3 has a new feature, Smart stay. It is a good feature and am looking for long. Sometimes, I have a couple of notes to do a public speech and would like to put it in my mobile. Unfortunately, after a couple of seconds, the display becomes dim and locked. It is very cumbersome to unlock the unit. Is there any utility app to give me the similar feature? Thanks!
you can simply use "screen on" app from the market, it will allow your screen to be awake until you close the app(any app) use on speech.
do ask your questions in Q&A thread next time
Or you can use intelliScreen, has some more functions than ScreenOn.
Both should be more energy efficient than the Smart Stay feature, because the camera isn't used here.
Wonder why Samsung used this method instead of a definition per app -.-

defention per app needs manual work, smart stay is actually indeed smart , no need of manual work to setup the apps and it also turns the screen off only when the user is not seeing the screen.

Yes, there is and is in development. Unfortunately, the thread has been closed. you can try here:

It's in beta but should work during the beta.
well.. ever feel someone watching you over whatsapp last seen status and get a text from him/her saying 'hey you, why dont you replies my text.. i can see you now'.. or maybe you just meet this new girl and keep text her on whatsapp but you scared your girlfriend will notice that you are online at that time..or maybe similar situation.. you tell..
actually it is simple to make you whatsapp last seen status unchanged.. whenever you open whatsapp.. whatsapp server (i think) will detect your present and will display your last seen status whenever you friend open his/her chat conversation. so how to make your whatsapp last seen freeze ? to do so.. open whatsapp when there is no connection available on your cellphone. im using data connection. im using data toggle widget on my homescreen (data/wifi toggle, depend on what connection you are)..
1# disable data/wifi connection using toggle widget (notification toggle should do to)
2# open your whatsapp.. read, send, whatever you like to do so.
3# close whatsapp.
4# enable data/wifi connection from your widget/notification toggle.
and you're done.
pro -your whatsapp last seen status will never change until you open whatsapp with data/wifi connection are connected
con - you cant see your friends last seen status, unable to download files.
should be okay if you just open your whatsapp with connected connection few times a day and make your friends knew that you are online that day and keep the rest of the times invisible.. hahaha..
good luck to whoever try to cheat on his girlfriend.
Wouldn't it be easier to use another application specifically for your affair? Not cheating would be the best idea, but I'm just working in your framework. Don't use just Whatsapp, use Whatsapp and a second app specifically for your paramour.
use another home launcher, hide whatapp, then go to data usage, restrict whatapp data usage. When yr wife is ard u, u just use data connection. When yr wife is not ard u, use wifi to check the hiden whatapp whether there is msg anot.

I will use data toggle like that now too as the only way to access whatsapp.. i have big stress because friends expect direct answer every time i log on.. i hate whatapp for this.. so now with this i hope i will have more peace:good:
lol Man you got the point
i was always looking for some kind of solution for whatsapp as some people can't understand that you may get busy with your own life and cant replay to them when ever they chat to you.
but what is the solution for others if you don't respond to them by whatsapp they call you asking why
Lmao @ the point of this topic!
Although I fail to see how you use whatsapp without a data connection?
I also (apart from sending pictures or messaging someone abroad) see the point in using whatsapp, doesn't everyone have unlimited free texts nowadays anyway?

It really works, thanks!
Also, you dont have to kill whatsapp, just hitting home after sending the message works.. then, with whatsapp running in the background, i enabled wifi/data and my message was sent, but last seen remained unchanged.

And the example ...well there is some truth in it. I dont wanna know why my girlfriend is on and doesnt write back... neither she should know when and how long i am online... same for my students... who dont have to know i am using whatsapp at night when i got to teach them in the next morning
Yes!
Yes. I used this trick most of the time. It does not necessarily be used to cheat on your girlfriend/boyfriend. I use it whenever i receive a whatsapp message from someone i dont want want to talk to that day so to clear the notification that i keep receiving, i turn off my wifi, open whatsapp and clicked the message. Ta-da! Haha just saying and i also use it so tha t my ex wont see that im online. Haha ^^
What a funny solution!
Though it works! Lolz!

But that was also the last time she was seen on whatsapp. She has a foreign SIM card so she doesnt roam on her smartphone (I know because i see the specifications). The TGV has free wifi in business class, but for the rest in 2nd class you have to pay to get access. Assuming that she didnt use the smartphone (which is running on Android 2.3 and i know it has some problems with whatsapp concerning wifi connection), could there have been some sort of connection that updated her status?
Thanks,
David

Thats the best use of this trick.
Doesn't work for me I disable Wifi with the Wifi Toggle Widget of Sony and then I open WhatsApp. After that, I write a person a message and then I went back to homescreen and enable my Wifi with the Wifi Toggle Widget of Sony, but the person, which I've written to, can see my last online Status
Hi, it seems search bar is locked in place on this device (Android 9 Pie). There is no obvious option to disable it.
It is the issue for a while already http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?t=1160
Did anyone find a solution how to remove it from the Home screen?
Thanks

I recommend just installing a third party launcher instead. I too found no easy way to remove it.
it's a fixed position widget starting from Android 8
sadly the only way to remove it is third party launcher ...
I had this problem too. Like said above, the problem is solved immediatly with a third launcher. I've taken Nova Launcher and it works perfectly.
Otherwise, if you don't want to install another launcher, you can try this method : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
For a complete lists of your package, you can use the app : "App Inspector" on the playstore.
I did this for all google app. For the search bar, it didn't work fully but it was better than without this tip. I read that, for some people, it worked fully.
Hope you will succeed to remove it!

Thank you, using Nova Launcher was the best choice in the end.

Happy that it worked for you too!
There is no special topic about this phone, does it work well for you?
I have it since last october ,it works pretty good! I would like to root it but I don't find a safe way to do it. I found some tip on german or russian forum but I don't speak those langages and the google trad is very approximative...
Do you find something to root it safely? ANd does this phone great for you?

I saw some guides but I didnt try to root this phone because I dont have a need for it, especially since the phone is already stock Android 9 where you can simply use adblocking DNS from within the Network settings.
Im generally satisfied with it, but proximity and finger sensors tend to misbehave sometimes, maybe its too sensitive to dust or dirt, I dont know.
My phone has V11 firmware, no updates available through the update manager, but there should be V13 available.

yeah it's true that you can replace a lot of root's features with third app's with this phone but it will be cool for me to have full access for more fun! Like totaly uninstall some apps useless for me, more customisation etc etc...
But it's really cool like it is now!
With mine : I don't have trouble witj proximity sensors but fingers sensors react weirdly, indeed. I think your hypothesis is the answer : it's too sensitive to dust and dirt.
The light sensor is a little bit weird too, but I think it's due to an android feature : user'shabits learning. Weird at the beginning, but works good after.
In my case, I have the V13 firmware (install directly via Cubot's website). I don't think it will be more update later...
One question : Do you know if this phone works well in USA? I see that it has some US's band so I think so , but I would like a confirmation
I received message from Cubot support that there are no significant or important changes in V13, so I'll leave it at that.
I also noticed phones behavior and sensitivity of sensors has changed over time, maybe it's that habit learning you mentioned..
I'm in Europe, so I can't say if it works in US. Shouldn't be too hard to find out.
I'm generally satisfied with this phone, as I tend to drop it a lot (relatively speaking) and it holds together well, and the software support+performance is satisfactory as well.
@urpi_ > Thanks for the feedback Happy to share with a Quest's owner, there aren't many
Like you, I've dropped it sometimes and the shakeproof it's real! I haven't test yet the waterproof. I will do it this summer
In very good points, I found GPS, Wifi and bluetooth respond very quick and well!
For the GPS, even in a remote location, the Quest fixes very quick
And the blutooth works very well with my earplug, even in running.
For the price, it's a very good smartphone, I'm happy with it too
Since when do you have this phone? I have it for 5 months nearly.

That's one of the reasons I would like to root it. Like you, this functionnality annoys me, although this button is very usefull . It's too bad that we can't configure it like we want and with a root, it would be possible.
For now on, I don't find a tip for changing this long press function. Maybe someone will read this thread and will have an solution
If I found something , I will share it here

Yeah, I have used Key Mapper ( https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper ) to change normal press (no root required) but I haven't found a way how change long-press behavior. Perhaps it's possible with Key Mapper too, and I just didnt find it?? Maybe.
@urpi_ > Thank you for the share, I will try it and search too if we can do something for long press configuration!
But for the normal press, you can already choose any application in settings. So, what does keymapper moreover?
Otherwise, about the fingerprint sensor:
I re-saved my fingerprints but differently :
Without perfectly clean up the sensor, like "out in the pocket" 's mode ( ) and with the "soft" part of the finger.
Before I saved it with the very extremity of the finger. This time, I used this "soft" part (a little bit under the top extremity of the finger) and with the finger kept flat.
It works pretty better now! Maybe it could make it work better for you too
Im pretty satisfied with the fingerprint sensor now, but yeah it can be probably fine-tuned to work better with this phone, like you said.
You can choose any application for normal (side-key) press, but I wanted to map it to something other than applications.
I used KeyMapper to make it a Pause/Play key for media.

So I tried this app and I think I found for the long press mode.
When you are on the window for creating a new macro, clik on "more" and then choose "long press"
After,you click on "record trigger" and push the button you want to configure, then choose the action you want.
I tried for launching an app, it worked well
But I tried for togglethe torch and it crashed the app. ANd then, the app didn't work at all, I had to reinstalled it
Hope it will help you
By the way, can you tell me what does "Data protection" setting do exactly? I see it under Security & location - Advanced menu.
I know it asks for a security entry pattern, but what for? Phone is supposed to be encrypted by default.
Yeah good question! I wonder too and I never enter a pattern for this. I think it is an android protection by default, but there are another protection too. By the way, I think there is too much protection
Other subject : I had a security upate nearly by september, I found the fingerprint and thbe camera respond much better. DO you feel that way too?

No update available for my phone. Still at February security update from 2019.
Strange, maybe you should visit the official website? If you do this, be careful : I've done the update via this way because the direct OTA way didn"t work. If the OTA's way is just an update; via the official website, it's a total reset, so, backup before doing this way
