As we all know there are few watches with NFC wear24 has it but its dormant in the watch with no access. All we need is a good developer to get this up and running. Come on XDA we can do this.
So I got Google Pay (android pay discontinued) on the watch sideloaded. It all works great but it is asking for NFC to be turned on.
I'm wondering if there is an oem settings menu
Dial code menu or some way to activate NFC...
So close yet so far away.
I found a couple of apps another XDA guy used to enable NFC in the sony watch 3
ones the NFC Enabler setting but I cant sideload it it errors out with this
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Package couldn't be installed in /data/app/com.sibhtc.nfc-1: Package com.sibhtc.nfc has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!]
I did mange to install the NFC watchface but without that setting I cant activate the chip
I will attach the apps here in hopes someone can test them and get it going
I tried the same thing (NFC Enabler) along with a bunch of other apps with no luck. I really hope that a developer will help us out and find a way to turn NFC on.

Im wondering if there is an option for it in the build prop... If so all we need is root otherwise im thinking it may need to be implemented into the kernel then we need root and rom
I Just bought one too, I would love to have a Rom with NFC and all the VZW crap removed.
I have a Wear24 and I can do javascript very well. I have android studio and fastboot + adb.
If I can be of help let me know.

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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 it possible to develop apps or watchfaces and distribute by Samsung store for new Gear Fit 2? Some developer can confirm that or not?
Yes you can. Just need to sign up through the Samsung Tizen developer site and then build the apps/watches faces to the store.

Thanks for your reply. I am curious how to test an app. I bought device Gear Fit 2. I will able to test on device or need some emulator from Tizen developer site?
I have an idea for small quiz app from school time and maybe will be possible to push it to gf2, maybe.

space below music player on gear fit 2 drop down menu
The Gear Fit 2 drop down menu has an empty rectangle below where it says music player. I wish this could be assignable or at least let you tap home. In order to go home in a lot of cases you have to hit the home button. I wish you could swipe and tap your way through on the screen itself.

There's no support from the Tizen Studio (installed latest version 1.1.0). So, there's no template, you'll have to start from scratch. There's also no Emulator template either. There's great examples included, incl. native app which shows how access sensors (runs great in the emulator). The Fit2 is fully Tizen RTOS compatible. I tried to use one of the S2 examples to make it Fit2 compatible. Not luck, W/o a working template and a working emulator I give up...
So at this moment we can't really develop apps unless we know how to make it from scratch? No help for amateurs?

Correct, Samsung policy, buy at your own risk...
The screen res is 216x432. I made layout pics to use with the emulator. The db-file is the button assignment file. But haven't figured out yet, how everything works together.

Such a shame. It has lot of potential. Decent hardware and software that offers a lot as well. Could you please let me/us know if you figure something out? If Samsung doesn't want to help me use my watch to its full potential, I would happily spend my time doing that myself.

Success, partially...
I got an emulator working, BUT the screen settings are not ok, screen elements are being cut off, have to investigate...
Somebody interested helping me?
Emulator running: http://imgur.com/Uzdk0zB
Settings cut-off: http://imgur.com/nYeKZLi
Settings itself ok: http://imgur.com/pBaPrEk
Power Off ok too: http://imgur.com/Ir0p5sd
Both buttons (back and Home) are working.
If I find a way to make the emulator robust, no screen cut-off I can transfer sample apps from Gear S2 to Fit2. That's the first steps of developing own apps for this thing.

This looks promising. I would gladly help but I don't think that I would be of any use with my lack of skills.
I have Neonto studio installed which looks like an easy way of creating apps but I could not figure out how to get the app on my watch. Probably because there is no emulator for it in Tizen Studio.

You need the Tizen Studio to get apps onto the watch. In developer mode.
There's no template for this watch for Tizen Studio, so the interfaces are not declared (API to sensors), the screen resolution is not set (see my cut-off settings screen) and the GUI elements are not defined (swipe, L/R. D/U, no ring like Gear S2). I doubt that there'll be apps for this watch until some skilled person adds this to the SDK...
if somebody is interested I can send them what i did so far, it'll save some time in doing the emulator templates.

Three questions/requests:
1. What SDK did you use for Gear Fit 2? Wearable 2.3 or 2.3.1 or is there one for Gear Fit 2?
2. Are you able to push your app/project into your Gear Fit 2 via debug mode or something?
3. Would you be able to share your sample project that is tested to work on Gear Fit 2?
Best regards!

Hi only started to experiment today with my new fit 2. And got a hello tizen app on the fit 2. I was only following the samsung step by step guide.
1.) Used 2.3.2
2.) Yes, debug mode is working
Now i need to investigate how to build a minimal ui. I want to build a small app, that unlocks my smart door lock.
1.) enable wifi
2.) wait until connected to my router
3.) get thet state of the lock
4.) send the unlock command
5.) close app and disable wifi
So i'm able to go running without any additional key or phone.

Thanks for responding, so how did you get 2.3.2? It is not showing up under Tizen Update Manager?

Hmmm I am running mine on Windows, that might be the reason.
I think I know the reason now, I downloaded the Tizen SDK 2.4 not the Tizen Studio 1.1.1 so now I have the 2.3.2 option. =D

Nice. That's exactly what I would like to use my watch for. I don't have a smart door lock but I'm planning on getting one in the future. Right now I wish I was able to make an app for MacID or a simple shopping list/reminder app
Great idea - I am starting research to try something similar

If you make any progress, I'd be keen to hear, and I'm happy to share what I get done too.
I will probably look at it sometime over the next month when I have time as I am a complete noob to Tizen.
I never thought to have the watch directly open the door (but now I am going to copy that idea - thanks), originally I just wanted to have the watch trigger phone to open door (to avoid getting phone out to open door) I previously had tasker detecting the phone shaking trigger my door unlock, but It would be much neater to get the watch to do that instead.
Door unlock is simple https request with authentication token.
Hey all.
Within a couple of days I'm getting my new Galaxy S9+ (Exynos) phone.
I made a year break from Android and switched to Apple, and now I'm back.
Unfortunately, I know nothing about newest Galaxy phones.
Maybe anyone has suggestions what should I do (download) when I'll set-up my phone (I've watched all the reviews of "must have" etc., don't suggest me to do that)?
I used to root and unlock bootloader for each my android phone, but I won't do that to my Galaxy S9+ at least for 6 months.
Hence, many root apps not working: "AdAway", "Viper4Android" etc.,
Maybe anyone knows Ad Blocking app without rooting a phone?
Or just mention anything that newbie to Galaxy S9+ should know.
(If you're wondering why am I "spamming" with these "stupid" questions: And no, I didn't find any similar thread to this)
Thanks in advance!
I use to root and rom all my phones, but I don't think it is as necessary as before.
I also use to download all the tweaks, but I don't do that either.
Non-root to block adds try Blokada it is in the F-Droid store.
It is Free and it Works.
I also swear by ES File Explorer to view and move files on your app. Also to sync any cloud storage you have.
If you have a regular phone number and google voice number going to the same phone
Voice Choice 2.0 is a nice app that allows you to make calls with a specific number
i.e. family and close friends have you carrier number
work partners, resume, business line has your google number
when you make a call you don't have to select anything, based on your rules set up it will dial out using the appropriate number.

check out this thread at your own risk. It works I disabled Facebook (don't see why that would be on and unlocked phone fro Samsung, but i digress)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/s9-s9-bloatware-removal-thread-g960u-t3817810
Be careful with the commands and understand what is being done before you hit the enter/return key
Good thing about disabling is if you fubar the phone you can do a factory restore and start all over
I only disabled Facebook. will investigate the other software as i play with the phone. Only had it 2 weeks so far.

Someone really needs to fix NFC for newer custom Androids, I been trying to figure it out, on the older version of Custom and official Android 6 NFC worked
But on Android 8/9 I only got as far as managed to install NFC service from website and Apks are made by Google and LineageOS that done nothing, Flashing Random NFCEnabler.zip packages, done nothing as expected
Done some more test on my SM-J500FN phone which I knew will faile bc obviously it's not for my device but hey I had time to test
And The weird thing is that when I flashed the NFC_HTC_Desire_C_Enabler_v3.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160781
This time the NFC Enabled? APK showed is supported that means I triggered something Idk what bc I didn't look more into it like actually use one of the apps for NFC reading bc I was out and the phone just crashed before I could go see the setting and check NFC and I actually forgot to check NFC tool lol
But I remember it was on ViperOS (LINK)
God all Google searchers are special all about how to turn on or off NFC or people think that just slapping a NFC chip on the board of some HTC phone "Adds NFC to non-NFC enable versions Device" forgetting that system have to be changed too and i don't think HTC released HOW to ADD NFC to they devices since that person had no idea or another phone to get a software, schematics, numbers and names of the chip he needs to for this to work, so, unfortunately, I don't know what to do next since when I'm searching more and more I just get more trash about how to swipe right and I'm not gonna lie it drives me mad so maybe someone will take over from here and could use this information and maybe succeed or I will do more test and see If I could go further with this

I had the Find N in January before returning it because I couldn't use Android Auto on it. Now my Fold 3 has got some dead pixels and Samsung's customer service sucks and are refusing to fix it. I see that the original Oppo Car app can now be disabled, does this mean that Android Auto can work once this has been done? If so I think I'll buy a new Find N
No. Android auto will only work once it has been installed and configured as a system app (as detailed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/android-auto-on-chinese-rom.4407021/ )
The only way to do this is by rooting the Find N and unlocking it's bootloader, which hasn't yet been done that I am aware of. I do know that a lot of people are trying though (myself included), but this will not easily be achieved (if it is even at all possible) Only time will tell
I need Android Auto !!! My Find N is a dream phone but my EyeRide V2 don't work !
