I have never used it and the Rom I am on it dose not work. So I would like to know what every one uses NFC for on their phones
(I don't want to know what it can be used for, but what it is really used for day by day)

I use it for setting my tasker profiles. One in the car to turn on/off cruise mode, one at my desk to do work profile, and one on my night stand. I work in my schools AIDC lab and have access to a ton of different miFare HF tags. They are fun to play with and more useful than you are think.

For me...NFC means...."No F****** Clue.....LOL....g
On cm10 simplytapp. Almost like google wallet.
Also squareless on play store to check if you have RFID chips in your credit cards. I've had no identity thieves ever since my card numbers are NOT wirelessly transmitted.
I use NFC Task Launcher with some stickers and buttons I bought from the developer. I've got 1 in my car that disables wifi, turns on BT and my ringer, 1 on my desk at work that disables the wifi and BT and ringer, and 1 at home that turns on wifi, and ringer, and disables BT. You get the idea. The car 1 is nice in the winter when I have gloves on and can't manipulate my screen easily. Of course, these are all things that at most save you a few seconds, but I forget to turn BT off when I get into work most of the time, or don't bother, if I do it manually, having the sticker allows me to consistently do it, which lets me stay off a charger a bit longer. My 1 complaint about it is that you have to unlock the screen first, before the sticker will actually be able to work. I haven't fully explored what all I can use these stickers for, I still need to do that.

Credit cards don't transmit anything. When in very close proximity (nearly touching) they will react to a signal that is transmitted from a reader. The insane fear of having your credit cards stolen is holding this country back from ever advancing technologically.
The risk of losing your credit card/identity theft is far, far, far less using NFC/RFID over traditional credit cards. Everytime your card leaves your hand/eye sight the odds of being compromised is huge. The reprogramming and or altering of the magnetic strip on the cards is just as great (thus the reason you need the last 4 digits on the card at some places).

I'm just wondering what the prognosis is on NFC for the Thunderbolt?
Are we actually getting it? Is there a possibility of it getting leaked?
We would need the NFC hardware in our phones before we could use the NFC software.

Oh I thought we had it. I could have sworn I saw somewhere that said we did. Haha. Damn.
If NFC is really important to you, you should be able to purchase a replacement microSD with an imbedded NFC chip. Not sure how much a 32GB card will be, however.
The biggest I could find (so far) was 8gb.
If you just want to do the Google Wallet thing, they are supposed to be making stickers that you can stick inside your battery cover (or case) to do the swipe-purchase. It doesn't give you the flexibility, or tie into the Google Wallet app, but it is better than nothing...maybe...
Unfortunately I don't think this will take off. I was excited about wave and that had the same fate.

On a phone, it takes more than an rfid reader to access it because it's not a dumb chip (opposed to say rfid on a credit card). Payments are encrypted and transmitted between the phone and the reader as well so man in the middle attacks aren't going to happen.
Please dont spread FUD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt without citing sources. Only issues with rfid (which is has nothing more in common with nfc other than they share the same frequency) being read so far are on crappy implementations such as gas passes with exxon and other stations and toll passes. The proper way for phones to do payments is a one time key that's only good for a transaction.
There are other things nfc is good for besides payments as well (using it in tandem with bluetooth)

This isnt exactly nfc, since it's using an rfid tag to give bluetooth connection details, but it works on non hardware enabled nfc devices:

Pretty sure issues like this aren't related to your actual device. Way to many people return their phone for issues that are not directly related to the device and can happen on every single one of them.
Just because it doesn't happen to everyone doesn't mean it can't. If someone's phone locks up a few times or reboots, it doesn't mean you have a defective phone. It usually has something to do with software and items that are running or processes that are taking place at that exact time to cause the issue. It is not caused because you have a defective phone.
Sure, maybe some complaints can be related to the actual device but I am betting most are not and people just over react and think they have a defective device.
I think the Evo 3d will need a few more updates to really make it all around stable.
This is my problem, I uploaded a vid about it...
EDIT: I think my Aux output is bad...tried 3 different male to male aux cables and all produced the same bugs.
EDIT2: Just noticed this doesn't happen with Pandora, only the stock music app...wth?! lol!
EDIT3: Noticed that I have a little headset with microphone icon at the time I did this, could that be the cause?
EDIT4: Got yet another app running in the background. Installed Headset blocker. Hope this one works and autostarts upon reboot.
Mine has this problem as well, but it is only with certain speaker connections (the computer speakers at my work make the thing search, then skip, then they call my brother.) I am going to try that program out, it looks to me like the connector is hitting something inside the phone causing the thing to freak out.
This happened to me also, only happens when I plug headphones or anything in the headset jack...my evo 3d goes insanely nuts.

Not sure if that makes much sense it does in my head and I would really like to know how. I am sure it can be done over wifi or tethered but I won't be either of those.

Look up app called "android lost". It once u activate it from web site it will ask user of stolen phone to enter a passcode. Every time they do it takes a picture of them. I believe it also takes pictures every few minutes and gives u GPS, address location, and let u turn on microphone and view outgoing and incoming calls and texts. Bad ass program. And the best part of it all its free
Use the app "webkey" you can do everything you want to your phone from a computer

Androidlost is pretty awesome. You access its functions from a web browser, and you can have it use both the front facing and back cameras to take pictures. That being said, it would be nice if there was a dedicated app that did this. Real-time video would be an awesome addition too. It'll be like your lil'personal security camera.

Could u imagine putting this on ur kids phones or ur spouses phone. I'm sure people take advantage of it that way
As mentioned previously there are already several apps that do this. Obviously it isn't always going to be tractable, because the phone has to be on, have GPS signal (or at very least a connection to three towers) to get a small enough radius of its position. It would need either wifi or a 3G connection. Realistically for live video it will need a good, stable 4g connection (unless you are satisfied with a low resolution, low frame rate video feed). It needs to also use as little resources as possible, and be somewhat hidden so it doesn't make someone suspicious or find it to turn it off, or kill the task or service.
It is a great tool to have if your phone is stolen for sure. I'm not sure that it would be really useful though in the event that your phone is stolen, not lost. I don't know about other people but I am thinking if my phone was stolen the first thing I would do is have my account suspended. I would be worried because people can use your phone bill to buy things, and call some phone whores at 800 an hour.
I am pretty sure I read one of those apps have the ability to format your data so it isn't stolen too. The other function I might want to count on, is the ability for the app to lock the phone down. Make it impossible to unlock the device, at all, or maybe with a password. Of course the last important feature would be to have all this start even after reboot and battery pull.
I can imagine this being used maliciously by some people. Anyway, that is my two cents on the matter.
I remember seeing something with somewhat the same function. When lost, you go to the website, lock it, it shows gps location, and takes a pic using front camera if possible. Don't remember the app right now...

Honestly - not much. The killer app (Google Wallet) is a LONG way from working.
Passports only started including RFID within the past 2-3 years
The device will react to Citi PayPass MasterCards, but there's not much you can do with it
Same for many corporate access cards - my employee badge is an ISO whateverthestandardis smartcard - the phone reads it but can't really do much
There are places you can buy NFC tags to play with that you can program to launch tasks and such... Kinda neat but not particularly useful.
In general, since we only have one officially NFC-enabled phone in the country (Nexus S/NS4G), there isn't much interesting-for-Android NFC stuff out there.
If we can figure out how to get card emulation mode working that'll be a whole other story - but that is going to be VERY hard, if possible at all.
So entropy, we can't use PayPal with nfc?

When an NFC enable phone detects, say, a credit card that has NFC, is there enough data to set up an NFC Launcher task specific to that card?
Also, what happens when multiple NFC tags are detected? Are they treated separately? Do they interfere with each other?

It would seem to me that NFC chips do active transmission, they aren't just RFID, so theoretically you shouldn't have two chips actively dumping their contents to the airwaves unless they've done a proper handshake with the reader.

It looks like most of the task launchers want to be able to write some data (NDEF?) to the tag. So they don't respond to a CC.
I have no writable tags to test with yet... I have a shipment coming from Identive that should be arriving tonight with some NFC Type 2 and Type 4 tags.
NFC is VERY short range so it's almost impossible to have multiple tags in range.
Can someone post the apps that currently work? It would be great to keep track since this is "new tech"

The usage of NFC could be various.If your doorlock supports NFC, you can use your Galaxy Note as your key, OR you can pay your transit fares with it (if they have a reader), etc. Simply, NFC can be a replacement of your wallet. Also, you can google "android beam". I think that uses NFC as well.
Look at this it has all the NFC info

you can use the NFC to communicate with NFC stickers they sell on ebay, and program them to change things like phone settings and profiles by just putting your phone closed to the sticker.
Download NFC Task Launcher and you'll see.
Soon enough, we can turn our cars on with NFC lol. or maybe even set cruise control, set a/c on or off, etc...with NFC.
here's an example usage:
install TecTile app on your phone, buy a TecTile sticker
program the sticker to launch the navigator
i place the sticker on my car
when i get in my car i just wave the phone over the sticker and the navigation app opens
second example - at work i have an nfc sticker on my desk - when i get to work, the nfc disables my ringer and connects me to work wifi - disable 4G

I have a tag under my center console lid in my car. Tap it and turns off Wifi, turns on BT. Tap it again, reverses the process.
I made a tag for my PS3 controller. Tap it once to open sixaxis control app, prompt for IME change, enable auto-rotation, go back to home screen (where games and emulators are). Tap it again, reverses all of that.
I tried making one that will auto connect and enter the PW for my Wifi, but couldn't get it to work.
There are TONS of possibilities. The NFC apps have a lot of options, but you can also call any Tasker task. And Tasker is very powerful.
Nice. Those are great ideas. I will look into those stickers.
All I've used the NFC for so far is seeing what data's being transmitted via the chip in my various credit cards, IDs and passport.
Oh and someone I met had an RFID/NFC chip in their business card, that was neat.

Yeah but the question wasn't about tasker. The question was about potential usages of nfc
