[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steven.smith:
This question has definitely been asked before but I haven't found any real solutions to the problem. How can I disable the swipe/drag to unlock feature without disabling the lock screen?

I've already tried NoLock and other 3rd party apps and while they have worked, they all usually disable the lock screen

along

with the swipe to unlock button.

I've found that when it comes to the Android OS, there is more than one way to do something. Since I have root, is there any file that can be edited to disable the swipe to unlock screen

without

disabling the pin code/pattern lock?

This has been bothering me for quite a while. I'm really hoping there is some file on the OS that I can edit and disable the swipe to unlock feature.

So, anyone know how?

Enabling pin or pattern lock is suppose to disable the stock lockscreen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Learic:
What this person is asking is if there is a way to disable the screen with the time/date that says "Swipe screen to unlock". If you have a security lock screen with pin, pattern, etc or an application like "Go Locker," you still have the annoying "Swipe screen to unlock" that displays first. You have to swipe it on that screen, and then you are on the next Lock Screen to enter your pin, pattern, etc. It is two layers of protection. Many people are finding the "Swipe screen to unlock" annoying when they have a security screen that is also configured.

Hi Guys, Thanks to this site I've changed my stock Sensation into a XE with Beats sounds!! Fantastic!!Wanted to know if the XE back cover is compatible with the stock sensation. I have one and it fits fine and everything seems to work well. The only difference I see is the insides. As you lay the cover down looking inside I see a little brass piece on the upper left on my stock back cover. The XE back cover has none. Everything else is the same. It looks like this little brass piece is to make contact with two little contacts on my Sensation. I've attached a picture to show what I mean. Thanks in advance. Thom:cool:

Because atm, i'm demanding from support a new case due to stickers falling off, and i want the XE back (because the design is better with that one).

I got the 3G version anyway, so i don't have the contacts at that place nor the brass on the left side of the cover.

I've used NFC Tag Launcher to turn the POS Verizon car dock into something better: Launch Car Home, disable wifi, enable bluetooth, adjust ring, notification, and media volumes, and then to play a clip of Jim Gaffigan screaming "BAAAACOOOON!" to let me know everything has been set.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
You can set NFCTL to Silent - however ICS *always* plays a sound when detecting a tag. If that's what you are referring to then you can either set your notification volume to silent or modify the NFC APK (unpack, replace the sound files with empty sound files, repack and replace on device).

Playing with tags

Just started with these tag things,

Set up the car, WiFi off, Bluetooth on for Parrot car kit, launch map in copilot.

Set up on bike, WiFi and Bluetooth off, ramp up the volume up. (I have a bar bag for my GN and the tag is inside)

What else can I do? Ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
I'm feeling kinda stupid here, but I can't find a way to trigger an action when removing the phone from a NFC tag. Is there one?

Usecase: I put a NFC tag on my car dock, nightstand, ... and use it to enable the appropiate mode. When I remove it from the dock I don't need that mode anymore and would like it to return to "normal". The only way to do that however that I found is scanning another tag which isn't that nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stevie D:
AFAIK The NFC tags only work as swipe devices, so putting the phone onto a tag only registers as a swipe, not as 'being in contact with' if that makes sense.

NFC Task Launcher lets you set up tags as toggles, so swiping it the first time does one action (activate night mode for example) then swiping it a second time performs another action such as deactivating night mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
hm, that's what i had found myself. touching it twice isn't as nice as i would have liked, but well .. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Ive just got some Tasker widgets setup that will kill apps, turn off gps etc.

So i've got my in car tag which turns on GPS with Secure Settings Helper, Bluetooth and CoPilot

Then ive got a widget to kill all of that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
Sadly the NFC tag doesn't have a big advantage over just using a Shortcut/Widget to toggle car mode then. If I have to keep my shortcut for disabling anyway I can as well use it to enable it. The one additional click isn't that much.

Too bad, was hoping there was a way to have NFC as state, not just as action.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stevie D:
In the Galaxy Nexus Development threads someone has released an amended version of the nfc apk, which allows you to swipe the phone with the screen off which I think improves things a heck of a lot, but you are correct, there isn't a huge advantage to using NFC technology as a simple toggle/task launcher. Still way cooler than using shortcuts and widgets though :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I could never get how it worked. If you swipe a tag it picks it up, and if it stays there it doesn't keep picking it up, yet you can remove the tag and keep swiping and it'd pick it up every time.

That means the phone must know its there, hence why it doesn't keep activating. The problem is though that the NFC chip only passes the state when it finds a tag, not when it can't find one

If google made the NFC chip pass info when I couldn't find a tag, the we could have stuff happen when you remove the tag
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnandaScot:
getting *really* creative...

I just got some NFC tags today. The main reason I purchased them is I have an entire wall of drawers in which I keep stock for my shop. Currently they are labelled with marker saying what's in each drawer, but the drawers are a myriad of colours and it's hard to read the marker on some of the drawers.

I got the NFC tags so that I can tag what's in each drawer. Actually I did this mostly for my husband because I *know* what's in most of the drawers without looking, but he frequently has to search for things when he's helping to pack orders.

We both just got SIII's so I thought this would be a fun/geeky solution. I ordered extra tags to play with and I've been trying to think of some creative uses, which lead me to this thread.

My shop is a polymer clay supplies/tools/accessories shop, so I decided to try a tag embedded in some polymer clay and see if it could stand up to the baking. It did! I used one of the 29mm clear tags from Rapid NFC (was going to post a link but this is my first post and it wouldn't allow it) and embedded it between two layers of clay that are about 1mm thick. I think I'll play around and see what's the thickest the clay can be before the tag becomes unreadable. This has a whole lot of potential for fun!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Download something called Secure Settings from the market. Open the app and install the helper from it. Then in Tasker you can use it as a plugin. From there you can control NFC to either turn on, off or just toggle it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcrawford:
When I installed it last night it gave me errors when trying to install the helper functions. I checked the developers thread here and read others were having the same problem on JB and the developers mentioned he was aware of the issue and working on it. So I gave up as it was late. I rebooted my phone earlier and just tried it and everything seems to be working just fine. Thanks for the help guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dalesd:
I also use Tasker, and it's great for things I want fully automated, like making my phone quiet when it's near my work WiFi, or launching my podcast app when it connects to my car bluetooth.

But there are some tasks that I want semi-automated, which Tasker isn't good at. for example: sending my wife an "I'm on my way home" text when I leave work. I'm not always on my way home when I leave work, so a NFC tag to do this would be nice because it requites minimal user intervention - unlock the phone and bump the tag on my way out of the office.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grayda:
I'm planning on ordering a bunch of tags, and am currently looking at ways I can interface this with my PC from my phone. When we buy our first house, I want to install a central HTPC (Home theatre PC) and controlling stuff with NFC would be wonderful (e.g. tap the tag to start XBMC and load a predefined folder).

Just looking over Tasker, I think it would operate like this:

1) NFC tag starts task that uses Net > HTTP Post in Tasker to post a name and password to the HTPC (could just use a regular URL, but not secure?)

2) HTPC listens for Post (with simple webserver software)

3) If password from Post is correct, start XMBC with command line arguments

Of course this isn't really limited to XBMC. With a touch of programming know-how you could make this start a few apps, lock your PC (but not unlock it -- Windows limitation) and even get it to copy a file somewhere.

I also have an Arduino, and could also use my phone to activate some hardware without having to buy a NFC shield (with the help of Firmata)

For now though, I think I'll use the tags to start playing my "work" playlist while I'm at work or something, until I can remember enough VB.NET socket stuff to get by ;D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mahmouddraj:
Hope you guys can help... Loving tasker and been using it for many months. I have just upgraded to Galaxy S3 and i wanted to take the advantage of the NFC. So i used NFC Task launcher which associate with tasker.

So basically i did my setup for car mode where you get bluetooth, GPS, etc.

My question is i want my exit task to go back to which ever profile i had previously. As i have three different profiles through out the day.

Morning time - Loud - wifi on - etc.

Working time - silent - wifi off - etc

Evening time - Loud - music - wifi on . etc

so for example if i decide to go for lunch somewhere during the day then it will Working time profile on, so if i tapped my phone for the car mode all go fine but in my exit task i want it to go back to working time.

same again if its weekend and i have a weekend profile after exiting the car mode i wanted to go back its previous profile.

I hope this make some sense :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
I think you can do if statements on the time. So if time is between a and b, set profile a
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jda2631:
I'd like to make one like someone earlier suggested that you put in your car. And when you use it, it opens an car locator app and saves your location.

+1. This sounds like a great idea, but the op didn't elaborate on how it is done
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipole:
I think I'm the OP referred to here.

The setup I have works but not that great. I basically have a nfc sticker in my car which when activated runs an nfc task launcher task to use a tasker task that starts up GPS and then passes off my location (lat/long) to a variable. I then have a nfc keychain that I got free when I ordered my stickers and on that I have a tasker task to pull up google maps and display that variable (lat/long). It works pretty well in a large parking lot but not that great in a small one. When I have time I would like to add in to that initial task a popup asking for landmarks/isle number etc. So that way I can use the location plus some identifying attribute.

Tasker task #1 "Car Location"

1. Variable Clear name %CARLOC

2. Use Secure Settings to turn on GPS

3. Wait 30 seconds

4. Variable Set %CARLOC to %LOC

Tasker task #2 "keychain"

1. Secure Settings to turn on GPS

2. Open Map; Lat,Long=%CARLOC; Mode = Point

If anyone wants to add the popup or improve please do so and post your results!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] achan68:
Thanks for replying. I think what you've done is slightly different than what jda2631 and I were hoping to do. Which is to use NFC to launch a car locator app (in my case it is MyCar Locator) and set the parking location without having to manually click the set location button. I've not got my tags yet so will have to play around when they come.
