So I find quite a few apps that can read and save nfc tags
Could it be used to save nfc tags that don't belong to u?
Such as if someone where to get my key card they can store the card in there phone and then use there phone to unlock doors etc?
Kinda scary...
So I understand this phone has NFC. I've been looking online and am still confused. Is this the thing I can connect to Google Wallet and use my phone to pay for stuff at the checkout by putting the phone up to the reader thingee I see all over??
It supports nfc but as of now i think it cant be incorporated in any of our roms. Maybe wen ics comes

NFC only works on unrooted phones.
NFC is there and it does work, but nothing uses it yet.
Upon pressing my phone against an NFC enabled soda machine at work, the CATLOG file clearly shows that the system's NFC chip is being used, but there isn't an app out right now that utilizes it.
I have installed the APK for Wallet (crashes on startup by the way) and it looks to me like the HTC is using its own NFC method and not one that is recognized by Google's software. (it crashes because it looks for the NFC drivers in a different location than what the NFC catlog shows me)
This summer, Tmobile/ATT/Verizon are rolling out their ISIS mobile payment system (competetor to Google Wallet). So far it seems like ISIS is planning on launching with a better backing than Google Wallet. They have Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express on board. So I would guess that more of us will be seeing mobile payments later this year
Thanks, that's what I figured. I noticed Google Wallet only allowed Citi Bank, and I don't do business with them. I was reading some posts on here where some people got the apk to work on their Android based phones, but the results were mixed with a few people having it work, and many not.
Anyways, thx for the replies.
there is a setting under "wireless & networks" that you have to enable for it to work. maybe try that
Its true that the setting is there and it does currently work, not very many apps use it currently.
I believe you can program NFC tags using the built in NFC tag app that came with the phone. I think part of the reason that it isn't functional right now is because it doesn't use the standard Android NFC functions but instead uses HTC's own. Apps like PayPal don't recognize the phone as having NFC, so the function for it is absent.
But as I stated before, I did tap my phone to a NFC enabled soda machine while it was recording a CATLOG, it does show that its accessing the NFC hardware. Opening Google Wallet shows that its searching in a whole different area for the NFC drivers, and it comes back as not being able to do so.
In sense 3, I'm pretty confedant that HTC created their own makeshift NFC system and hopefully in 4.0+ they use the one that was built into Android
I was walking through a building at work and noticed a soda machine with paypass built into it, so I turned on Catlog and tapped it up against the machine.
This is what the Catlog reads:
NFC JNI Callback:
nfc_jni_transaction_callback() - status=0x0000[NFCSTATUS_SUCESS
NFC JNI > SE EVT_FIELD_ON
NFC JNI Notify Nfc Service

So yes, the Amaze is reading the NFC from the machine. This seems to repeat about 10-15 times in the few seconds that I moved my phone over the machine.
I believe that the "Notify Nfc Service" is trying to call out to an app that can access the information from the soda machine, but since there is only the default NFC app availiable to us right now, it doesn't do anything with the data.
I'll try running Wallet with Catlog soon to see what its trying to call
Do you have kind a batch for the soda machine?
If yes, you can try to copy the nfc informations from it to your phone and use your phone as a batch...
Not quite sure what you mean about having a batch on the Soda Machine
Is there an app out there that we can write/config NFC tgas to launch apps, wifi, Bluetooth etc?
I wouldn't mind getting some and putting them around the house & car!

I've used NFC Interactor to write tags, I think it's a dollar or two. Just so you know apparently there is a windows phone limitation where it can't format tags. In my case I had to use a friends android tablet for that. I don't think there is a way to toggle wifi/bluetooth at the moment and it might not be possible with the SDK. But you can definitely start apps or phone settings if you find the GUID for it.

NFC tags, is there a good reliable place to get blank tags (no graphics on them) in Canada? I've been looking around on the net for the plastic ones but all I can find are paper ones or ones with company or product logos. Any recommendations are welcome.

Hi all
I've downloaded NFC Publisher but haven't tested it yet.
God bless

(note: I just searched the entire Forum not mention a word about NFC Tags yet)
I just bought a package of NFC Tags and I'm learning&playing with those.
I see mainly that you can add an App to run after use it, and a universe of things you can also do with it.
But I'd like to use your App's shortcut: 'Hibernate Now' that I did create within the App options to my Home Screen.
Those NFC Tags Apps don't show how to run App's shortcuts, and google is confusing or too deep. Anything else, yes is standard and there exist.
But IDK if someone or developers can tell me how to run 'Hibernate Now' Shortcut with a NFC Tag.
Someone suggested on Google recommend do a URI but doesn't work for me (Android/Samsung):
Even more interesting is to run shortcut instead to DEPEND on loaded App to watch for the tag to run anything (for iPhone, IDK for Android):
'reddit dot com/r/shortcuts/comments/9ifl9y/i_have_an_nfc_tag_that_opens_up_a_shortcut_to'
Everybody (even Developers) will be happy with this new combo-use !
Thanks in advance for any help and Happy New Year for everyone ! =D
You can use An App like AutomateIt or tasker to trigger the required action when NFC tag is detected.
Hi,
my Google Pixel 6 works fine with the "MIFARE Classic" tool and "NFC tools".
Chips, Tags, Credit Cards and insurance cards all work fine.
For some reason some "access control tags" I use to enter special buildings or to disable the alarm, cannot be read by the pixel 6. I guess these are protected.
I wonder if a 40$ NFC reader might be able to read these protected ones ?
I also tried the old "Mifare DESFire EV1 4k" and others, but according to google a "cheap NFC tag reader" might work here ?
Or does protected mean protected ?
