Stopped over at bestbuy today and came across the OEM samsung NFC tags (5pk for $14.99). Samsung rep said they weren't compatible with the note 3 due to our phones utilizing newer/updated NFC technology.
I didn't buy it. Anyone using these or any other generic brand tags?

Just got my tags in the mail today from tagstand.com. I downloaded the app "trigger" (NFC tag programming app) and purchased the tags directly from the app. NFC tags work prefect even with my Spigen case on.

Thanks for the link. Curious to know which tags you ordered as I'm looking to order an assortment of the type 2 tags they have listed.

From what I understand.
The older Samsung tags (TecTiles) used Mifare classic, that worked fine with NPX NFC chips that supported it (they developed Mifare). Note 3, like the new Nexus 7 (2013), doesn't use NXP hardware and thus dose not support Mifare. Mifare not in the official NFC standard.
So the rep is probably correct.. I believe the S4 falls into this catigory also. THe Samsung TecTiles2 should work though.
I would buy them from Samsung's site and the 50% off code to get them much less. You can do a Google search for "Samsung 50% off code", and you should find one. Or buy some from eBay. Just make sure they are not MIfare.
Here is more info:

Hope this helps.
gah...I still have a pack of unused Tectiles 1 from Samsung's gift package, I thought they would work with the N3
Original Tectiles work on the Note 3! I have one in my car to activate bluetooth. and one in my wallet to turn off sounds. Kind of a bummer that they don't work with the S4 but it works fine on my Note 3 :good:

Interesting.. I'm going to give the older textile tags a try to see if they actually work before I order the newer ones.
By the way, which app are you using to fire them up?
For those of you who use the tags in your car, how/where are you mounting them? I have a number of ideas but am curious to know which works best.

Looks good. I'd like mine to be a little more discreet though. When you say you're tapping to activate, does the phone require physical contact with the tag or can you hover over it to activate?
I'm thinking of placing mine behind a thin piece of plastic if the latter is the case.
anyone got these tags?
they were recommended by Android Police

Happy new year!

I can't connect them (Gear fit and Galaxy Note 2)
I've send the apk's to a colleague that has S4 - I will keep you posted
I'm guessing there's no hope it connecting to an S2 then. Sorry on a packed train with no headphones so can't watch the video yet but my Mrs wants a fitness watch and I was going to surprise her with a gear fit.

Love the review, few questions.
Do you think the fit vs wrist size may make a difference?
It looks like it is shaped, and if you have a large wrist it may look off?
The watch strap really concerns me it looks very cheap, do you think it will hold up a last say 2 years?
I know other straps and replacement straps maybe be available but I think the availability will depend on where you are.

Ebay or purchase online if all else fails. I understand what you are getting at though. No doubt if these things take off then you will find them in your standard phone case shop custom designed knock offs. Quality would be an issue though

The strap seems very resistant. It is plastic but I think It will resist at least two years.
Of course wrist size matter, I can not wear gear 1 - it's too big for my wrist
It is a device suitable for girls
Is there anyway to have the gear fit screen on at all times ?

No!
But... you can set it to turn on the screen when you raise your hand to look at the watch - so you don't need to press the power button.

Yes, DEFINITELY Wear Mini Launcher. I would also check out Wear Aware, which will vibrate your watch a bunch when it loses connection with your phone (helps make sure you dont forget phone somewhere.
Better Wear Face is also a pretty nice couple of custom watch faces
and, if you're a Goldeneye fan definitely check out Secret Agent watch face (its my current fav!)

Yes, I use Wear Aware too -- walked out of my house leaving my phone on the coffee table one too many times -- now I don't have to crawl back all the way from my car to retrieve it.
The delivery guys couldn't take any longer, could they?
They said "in 2-3 working days" but on the site they updated saying "by august 1st" (tomorrow in my local time) so I guess its tomorrow or nothing

head on over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch...its not very populated at the moment, about the same as the Gear Live forums, but theres a tool on there that I used when I had my G Watch that unlocked your bootloader, rooted AND installed TWRP...all in one app. It worked like a charm for me!
Received my Gear S today! So far this watch is pretty excellent! Still learning the ins and outs of it. But so far im really enjoying it!

In the box was the cradle charger, quick start, and manual.
Ill be honest battery life has been terrible today. 100% charge at 7am and now at 240 im down to 19%. This could be because some things are on that shouldnt be because i dont have sprint service to it. So probably user error haha.
I dinked around with the GPS for a few. Ill still to my phone.
Havent tried. Ill let ya know.
Call quality when tethered to my phone is awesome. Sounds great. Kinda feel like **** Tracey lol.
Not a ton of app at the moment because its tinzen.
That was a notification for messenger. It can be turned off / on under gear settings.
Music is loud enough for the watch. I wouldnt use it on a daily as your main source of music though.

Nooooo I was JUST in Tempe! I had no idea that the Gear S was there, the dang AT&T website said there were no stores in all of Arizona that were previewing them and there definitely aren't any up here in northern AZ. I could have bought it yesterday!!!
I have to go to Vegas to get one now because that's the closest location with any corporate mobile stores or Best Buy stores and I have no idea why Best Buy hasn't announced it yet. Not a single peep ...
