From my searches Dr Google has told me its not possible, but I thought I would ask anyways. Can I scan my prox badge for work using my cell phone and then use my phone to emulate that card? From what I read NFC is an offshoot of RFID, so I would think its possible.

i do not believe these will code most standard RFID badges or emulate them correctly. i put RFID reader and lock solenoids in my car so unless the proper RFID chip is near the reader, the doors will not unlock and the car will not start. i was actually looking at doing something like this with NFC and the stereo.
I just watched this video, my dreams of being able to copy the prox badge have got to be possible?

if they are able to proxy, I would think you could also save that data and just push it back out...that or I am fully misunderstanding how this works which is also very possible.

Just wondering if anyone heard was the latest progress on ISIS. It looks like that is what is keeping AT&T from activating the NFC chip on our SGS2.
We've managed to enable NFC on Gingerbread, but not for mobile payments.
As a result it's mostly a toy.
I hope either Google Wallet or ISIS kicks off soon for the GS2.
If iPhone had NFC you know this would have been mainstream by now.
something tells me att won't credit all new accounts with a 10.
My friend has a Nexus and we were able to successfully do a "Beam" transfer of a web page he was watching. I'm using Gingerbread so I had to use an NFC app to receive as raw data but it worked nontheless.
I assume when ICS comes out for GS2 we could take advantage of the NFC to use the Beam feature and transfer our contact information or web pages to other users.

TL;DR - Launch mid-2012 in Austin & Salt Lake City; "national rollout to follow". Chase, Capital One + ISIS reloadable card.

Thanks to your hard work I can use NFC Launcher with NFC tags to enable all kinds of neat stuff. When I dock my phone in my car, at the office or on my bike, the appropriate apps, wireless connections, audio and display properties are automatically configured. Undocking will revert those profiles back to a neutral state.
FWIW the PayPal Mobile app has some NFC-enabled mobile payment functionality built into it. I don't use PayPal so I can't speak to how well it works on the i777.
--L.
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
I got my nfc tags in today to play with. Have no problem writing to them, and NFC Task Switcher works great. My example use case is having the volume go down at my bedside.
I use Tasker extensively, so maybe I'm spoiled:
My first question is, is there any way to trigger an 'exit' or 'undo' task when your phone leaves the vicinity of the tag? Really hate to require two tags to achieve that level of automation. By reading a bit on the Play Store reviews area, I'm guessing this isn't possible, and I'll need to change the way I think about these.
2nd question: Is there any way nfc tags can be read and trigger an event while the phone is locked? Also seems kinda pointless to have to unlock before touching the tag.

1: You can just create a switch. Tap once, do (tasks). Tap again, undo (tasks).
2: Not that I know of right now but I'm sure our wonderful developers will figure something out!

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

I'm trying to NFC Launchit to start my music player app as soon as it sees the NFC tag. It works but its kinda annoying to have to keep pressing "open app" and play every time I set down the phone, is there any way to skip that notification and go straight into the app? Or is that even possible?
Edit: Using the Nokia NFC Writer app I at least got the music to play right off the bat, but i still have to hit that stupid "open app" button. Any ideas?
The confirmation is there for your own protection and to allow you an option to back out once you consider the danger of this technology. For example, suppose I make an NFC tag and stick them around town. The people like you come along whom have figured out how to disable the notification so your phone will do whatever my NFC tells it to do. Such as email all your contacts a virus that the NFC tag points to. Or maybe download a huge file of child porn and then send that to your contacts. You should get the point now why the confirmation is there and the danger of having the phone just carry out the NFC command.
Valid point dude, but at the same time you gotta think that some of the burden of keeping a phone safe is the owner's responsibility. Combined with the fact that NFC has a short range, unless I walk around town rubbing my phone up against every wall I can see, I think I might be safe turning the notifications off. I don't even put my phone on the table when I'm out and about for fear of my forgetfulness, and I keep the Tap + Send option off most of the time to save battery.
I'd rather take the chance if it means that I can just drop my phone on my wireless charger and have the tunes kick in. So that brings us back to the task at hand, figuring out how to get past the notifications. It looks like it might be a part of the OS so I guess its a futile effort but hey can't hurt to keep looking right?
a posible solution is make trust tags. This tag only work without confirmation in the phone that make it. The problem is windows phone not allow trusted tags
Other fault is a nfc tag can´t modify the wifi or bluetooth. I want a tag that switch the bluetooth on when i put the phone on it (in a car is very usefull). Windows phone not allow to change configuration of the phone.
RESUME: nfc tags is not usefull for me
