My hox+ vibrates when I put my wallet behind it. I checked and its because of my transport card. I was wondering if it is because of the NFC Beam function? And if it will damage my device in any way.

Turning it on actually drains battery? I searched more about NFC and yes phones that support NFC will vibrate with this kind of cards or cards that contain NFC chips . Thanks anyway

I just found out that the devices which have blue tooth version 4.0 already are capable of doing nfc
They come with nfc enabled so, the motorola RAZR has the nfc feature. It has the hardware for it but it doesn't have the software for it currently so I was thinking if someone could help get that software which is required for nfc!!

The Droid Razr doesn't have an NFC Chip.
Bluetooth 3.0 and 4.0 devices can talk to nfc devices. Whether we'll be able to use Bluetooth devices like the razr AS nfc devices is another matter. We would need software such as Android beam to support this I imagine.

i would of thought that if this phone was capable. Motorola in all their might would of advertised it surely.
Anyhow. NFC is not coming to lincolnshire any time soon! lol

I believe that to use NFC (although I'm not sure if it is in there or not) you need a special antenna. Generally, it's attached to the battery. Since our battery isn't removable, that makes it kind of difficult.
It is kind of like that. On the back of my nexus s is 2 connectors which then come in contact with some kind of pad on the battery cover.

I bought some NFC Tags to see if they would work on the Evo 4G LTE, and I was clueless! There was preformatted, ultra lights, and etc. I had no clue which ones would work. Turns out the first ones I tried, worked great on my EVO 4G LTE and Galaxy Nexus!

Thanks for the video. I've been contemplating on getting some. Just trying to figure out what I would use them for.

You're welcome. They are just cool, that's all. I truly can see the whole "CM9" and "Profiles" coming in handy! I would stick one in my truck and tap it every time I got in it, to set my phone to loud. lol
I can think of a few things to do with NFC tags, just need to get around to ordering a few.
Anyone have any recommendations on what to get? I'm assuming the larger capacity tags are good, esp for writing complex tasks.
I think NFC tags are rather useless. I keep wanting to use them but can't think of a useful way of using them. If want to put my phone on silent, I'll just use the volume rocker thank you very much. Could someone even tell me what complex task can't be done with just a few strokes?

I have 4 NFC tags.
1) For buddies that visit me frequently to launch Foursquare and check-in to my place quickly
2) A simple Normal to Silent profile toggle. Comes in handy when my daughter is napping. And is much quicker to use since I don't even have to unlock my phone to use it.
3) A switch that toggles a Do Not Disturb profile for bedtime. (I would not be able to toggle this easily without an NFC tag. I would have to set it to a specific time each day. Which is lame)
4) A switch at work that will put my phone into Vibrate mode and launch a ticketing website that I use for work. Then when tapped before leaving it puts my phone back into a Normal profile and sends a text to my wife telling her I'm on my way home. I keep this one by my light switch and turn my light on/off with phone in hand.
NFC tags aren't useful for everyone. But it's definitely helped me automate some of the more mundane and annoying tasks I do every day. And saves me a bunch of time doing them.
I think I need to get some of these...
I just got a pack of them and idk how i was able to live without them. One in the car that toggles betwin bluetooth on and wifi off abd it launches the music player. Other on my bed that turns all volumes down and my alarm sound up. They are nice to play with.

1st: to make them more useful I used the mod to allow their use during screen off and lock. If I had to turn on the phone and unlock it NFC would be much less useful.
2nd: I don't have any complicated tags. The main one I use turns off wifi and toggles Bluetooth, and starts Multiplayer. So after I start driving I just have to touch the phone to the dash and my music wirelessly starts.
Its not complicated but it is much better than having to turn on the phone, unlock it, scroll to my widget and turn on Bluetooth. I never have to look down off the road.

Why does it have to be a complicated task? Why not just tap your phone to an NFC tag to mute it? or Pop open Pandora when you sit at your desk at work?
Yes, tasks are simple, but they are also repetitive in a lot of cases. Why not have the phone do it for you?

Have a mixture of tasks per tag.
One example is my office desk's tag:
Ring: Off/Vibrate
Notifications: Medium
GPS: Off
WiFi: On
Media Vol: Off
Display: (max)

Tags For Droid. They're the best bang for the buck. You get the largest storage size I've seen at 1KB and a free keychain tag. And they cost the same as others of equal quantities with much less storage, that I've seen on Amazon.

Is that phone rooted? custom kernel installed? Check out this thread...

Most likely a bad battery. But only way to check is to change batteries and see if the problem still persist.
I'd go with double's suggestion with replacing battery. Otherwise could be hardware. Sounds like the contacts could be dirty either in battery or on the phone itself. Or It's not holding the contacts in place, somewhere It's getting loose. Again not sure if it's exterior or loose in interior.

He said it's completely random. He will go to pick his phone up and just shuts off. which sounds like a battery problem but hard to check without buying another battery

Go to a Tmo store and see if they have one you can test...I was there the other day and a guy with an Amaze had the same issue. The store rep ordered him a new battery but he had to pay for shipping.
Hi
I hate to request things if I can't do it myself. Anyways is there a mod out for the DNA that allows NFC to be on while screen off. For example I have a NFC fan built into my wireless charger that opens an night stand app. It gets annoying when I have to make sure the screen is off. I would like it to be able to unlock the screen( I have no password) and then continue to its business(open the alarm clock).
Thanks

Ah. Ok. Well, you can accomplish a similar task but without using NFC from "Secure Settings": https://play.google.com/store/apps/...pYmxlb2JqZWN0LnNlY3VyZXNldHRpbmdzLnBsdWdpbiJd
At least, I think you can. I haven't dug into the app too much yet.

Need, or want? If the app launches your dock app when docked, doesn't that cover what you need? (Not that I care - want is fine, but... what does using NFC to launch the app buy you?

Hi all.
I have a galaxy S3 4G and was wondering if there is a app I can download that will enable Bluetooth when I get into my car? I hate having it on and sometimes forget to turn it on when I need to drive somewhere. If this is possible please tell me how

Here's an app that can turn stuff on and off depending on GPS/wifi data location. That would drain your battery a bit though, not to mention your car isn't always parked at the same place.
There's no link ? And it has to be when I get in the car. I was just thinking when something tries to connect to it, it activates it.

Nfc tags might help. Paste an nfc tag somewhere in your car, and there are apps that can set up you phone to trigger certain functions when your phone's backcover touches the tag.
