Received just now my 2x NFC tags
but
Ho we can use it with Sony software?
I Mean i found various app on the market to write these tag
but on Sony site we cans ee that Tags are managed with preistalled software...but....how?
Try here to get you started
I'm curious what NFC apps folks are using with NFC tags for basic stuff like turning bluetooth on/off, silent on/off etc. Also, are some apps better or worse than others in terms of battery drain?
If you just need the basic functions like Bluetooth, wifi, silent mode then you can use the built-in app by using xperia smart tags.
You can make your own: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23104302&postcount=1
Don't have the xperia tags, only generic ones, so I guess the Sony app won't work with those.

There is a program in Google play - SmartTag Maker
It makes sony smart tag from any nfc tag
I am using Trigger and it works great with non Sony tags.

I think I'll just try any old writer because I plan to use the tags with AutomateIt so once the tags are written I won't need that app anymore
I read that the N9 isn't miracast compatible. Does that mean I will not be able screen mirror with the amazon fire stick?
Didn't realize the fire stick allowed for Miracast. And no it won't.
Wow so I can't even get screen casting to work with a Chromecast even though it detects the device, but I am however able to cast with apps like YouTube.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Works fine for me

What could I be doing wrong?
My note 4 is able to screen cast to the chromecast no problem...
Shouldn't need to do anything fancy to make it work. Hmmm

There is a different between screen casting and (app) casting. The latter simply requires an app that can chromecast AND that the device is on the same wifi network.
Screen casting requires either 'specific' devices that are capable of screen mirroring to chromecast OR miracast capability (I think Sony devices may offer this). For the former, here are the supported devices.

That's the thing.
My N9 can't screen cast, but it can app cast.
My note 4 can do both.

Resurrecting this to clarify some things. Apps that play video on one device from another when you have that app installed on two devices on the same subnet use DIAL (Discovery and Launch), they will work on all devices because the entire mechanism is baked into the app. Youtube, Netflix, Sony, and Samsung created the DIAL protocol. With DIAL, the displaying device is getting the media from the internet and just being controlled by the other device. This a per-app thing and completely device independent and not at all what this thread is about.
Miracast is actual screen streaming. Support is built into Android 4.2 and greater and Intel's WiDi initiative has basically folded over into Miracast. Google removed miracast support from all Nexus and Pixel devices, all other android 4.2 and up devices support Miracast because it is part of Android. This is a super bull**** move by Google and Miracast can be turned on with a single line edit to the build.prop if you root your phone.
Chromecast was Google combining an OS level DIAL implementation with Miracast. Chromecast has since been changed from using straight up DIAL for the media casting to use the more proprietary mDNS, but it's basically the same. Amazon products do not support Chromecast, which is a bit less of a bull**** move compared to Google turning off Miracast on Nexus and Pixel devices since Chromecast is more proprietary.
There are 3 ways to get around the problem, all of which have been done and only 2 are currently available:
Add an app that supports Chromecast protocols to the firestick. There have been a few come and go, they all get in trouble from Google because Chromecast stuff is proprietary. Currently there is AirScreen on the Amazon App Store. It probably steals your data and sends it to China and North Korea, but it works.
Add a miracast app to the Nexus device. There have been a few, but I can't find one at the moment.
Root the nexus device and edit the build.prop file to turn Miracast support back on. Definitely the cleanest, but you permanently trip the security check on the phone and can't use it for payment apps like Google Wallet anymore.

Can you verify this works and specify the build.prop line to add? I've used this method on my Nexus 6 and 9 in the past but it stopped working since Android 6 or 7 or so. The option to cast via Miracast would return but it would never make a connection after a certain OS version.
I have a couple of Mifare Classic 4k NFC tags I previously used with my Oppo Find 5.
My new Nubia Z7 does not seem to support these tags. I have installed NFC Taginfo and Trigger, both from Egomotion. These apps tell me that the Mifare Classic tags are not supported by the device.
NFC tags are particularly handy to use in various locations. In my car I used to tap a tag instructing the Trigger app to pair my phone to the carkit automatically. Tapping again turns Bluetooth off. Now, I cannot use my existing tags anymore.
Does anyone know of other tag types that are supported by the Z7? It is quite expensive to try them all...
Many thanks for your input.
Actually I think that the Z7 mini does not have NFC at all...
EDIT: Sorry! I read Z7 mini (dont know why) and you are asking about Z7...

Yes, that is true. My Z7 (not mini or max) has NFC, but no support for Mifare Classic 4k.
Hi All,
Was looking at purchasing a Wireless media drive in order stream content from my Android Note 2 (Rooted SHV-E250S, 4.3) to my Apple Devices, iPad 2 (Jailbroken iOS 8) & iphone 5 (Jailbroken - iOS 7.1.1).
After looking into it I was wondering if it was possible if an app was to allow streaming of videos from the android to the iDevices?
Any suggestions...im hoping there are some options as they are rooted/jailbroken?
Sorted...kinda!
for anyone looking for this also...Ive come across an App store app called infuse and BubbleUPNP on Google Playstore....seems to do the job.
..only limitation for me is streaming directly (they need to be on the same network)
..you can download to play offline but if you have a new file on your SD card you would both need to connect via the network...
...maybe someone can confirm this
