Import the file to Tasker (long press Tasks) and change line 18 (Calendar Insert) to the calendar you would like to use and finally write a tag to launch the task

noobie here,

could anyone post tips for picking the right nfc tags? what are the requirements i should look for? (data capacity, type1 or type2, protective coating, etc). also in tagstand.com, i see most of the tags say they are compatible with the nexus s, these should all be good for the galaxy nexus too right? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sanguineraven13:
Yes. It's actually very simple. I recommend picking NTAG straight off the bat. They hold a good amount, are rewritable, and are newer type so they scan faster (I read a general info, scientific-type website that rated them at 9 scanning speed vs 7 for the average tag as a total ballbark idea of the improvement). If you need to hold lots of info like a business card with a picture and lots of details use a 1K chip, they hold more. Lastly you can choose the thicker protected tags if you will be using them on metal surfaces, which will interfere with your **** if you don't use protected PVC tags. You can ignore the other tag types, they are inferior to NTAGs but have some niche uses like being more lightweight (its a freaking sticker, its light already).

New to the forum, please hit thanks button if I helped you guys out :D

Here's my issue with NFC Task Launcher:

I've set it up so that when I get in my car it turns on GPS. NFCTL tells me that I need to make it a system app and reboot for that to work. That's fine. It works.

The next day when I install the next version of Jelly Bean (CM10) NFCTL is gone. Since it's a system app I'm assuming that CyanogenMod has erased it and when the new ROM is flashed. I can't tell you how many times I installed NFCTL before I figured this out. Also, there seems to be no way to backup and restore via Titanium Backup.

So, I've given up on having the ability to turn on/off GPS using NFCTL.

Am I missing something here? Is there a better way to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagman002:
I have tags all over my home and work place.

I have a home and away tag by the door at home to toggle networks (blue tooth on, WiFi off. ) and volumes.

One of my work tags is a idea that I got from here. To write an event into my calendar when I start work but I also use it to turn off my bluetooth and turn back on my WiFi. This will also set a timer to move my car due to timed parking

I have another at work to turn WiFi on and off. Because I work at a shopping center the WiFi reaches the shop but is a weak signal. Which is why I have the tag to scan as I walk out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagman002:
I have done some playing around with Tasker to get my bed time tag work the way I want.

As my signature suggests I have a HTC One XL and my notifications volume is the same as my ringer volume.

So what i have done is when I scan the tag it does the usual turn brightness to 0, volume to 0. What I have done is made a profile that gets switched on with the scan of the tag.

The profile will on the event of getting a phone call from any contact will max my ring volume.

On tap 2 of the tag it will reverse the settings and disable the profile

is there a way to disable the swipe to unlock using only NFC launcher? (so i can hit the power button and be right at my home screen)

i know it can be done with Tasker and Secure Settings but want to do it with minimal steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JensAiden:
I've set up a few tags, but would love to find more uses :P

I have one tag on each side of my door - when I leave Tasker turns off wifi, enables 4G, and says "Have a nice day Jens". When I come back, it turns WiFi on, 4G off, and sets media/notifications/volume to loudest, vibrate on, and says "Welcome home Jens". (corny, but it puts a huge smile on my face).

I also have an NFC keychain that I carry around - if I go into class or a meeting or a movie I tap the keychain and it turns my phone onto silent. Tap it again and it puts everything back to the loudest setting.

If I end up dating someone (lol, this idea will never get used) when I tap the tag near my bed that does waking up stuff (volume back up, launches Currents) I'd have it send a text to my significant other saying "Good morning :)"

The most annoying thing is having to unlock my phone before being able to use NFC -_-

Something that you guys may be able to help me with.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and in sure everyone knows that the battery life is lacking at best. I use an external charger with a total of 3 batteries that I cycle through. Is there any way to track the number if times I use each battery by placing a tag on them?

Just a thought and may not even be beneficial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
a simple counter for each battery that does +1 when you scan the tag? again, Tasker :)

Read file, 'counterX.txt' into variable %c

Variable add, %c, +1

Write file, 'counterX.txt', %c

and for the initial run just create counter1.txt - counter3.txt with just '0' in them

May or may not work. I'm doing a Nand backup at the moment so I can't try it for ya.

The difference between lauching apps and launching to specific areas/items within the app is what your seeing here between just opening google play and getting to the playlist. The shortcut bit is easy, which is why it's cut and dry in the app. The app has to be able to accept the additional input for what you want to play. Being that Google Now lets me say what i want to play and pushes it to the device makes me belive this should be doable, but it may take some working at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krohnjw:
I'm going to add this to NFCTL soon. Essentially you need to create an intent with the playlist ID and then just broadcast that intent (going from the source at least). Once I get an interface up to query the playlists and grab ID's I'll push that as an option.

I use NFC task launcher and I have a sticker in my truck that has a "switch" on it. The first thing it does is turns on Bluetooth, Turns off wifi, and launches MOG. (normally if i just connect it trys to run google music). Then the second part of the switch is when i tap the sticker again it turns off bluetooth and launches an app i made called Kill Mog, which just kills mog. Works great to play mog over my bluetooth radio.

Want NFC to trigger TASKER for "Silent Night" + exceptions

I've done some searching and have not found anything quite like this. I hope it's possible.

I want to (from Tasker?) launch two profiles with an NFC tag.

1st Profile: Silent Night, sets all rings/notifications/vibrations to off. Triggered by NFC because bedtime varies.

2nd Profile: Important Call Exception. On event Incoming Call from 636-123-4567, Ringer set to 7.

So phone is totally silenced, except for calls from one important phone number.

Then in the morning I need to return settings to normal.

Tools available: Stock Sammy GS3, NFC Task Launcher, Tasker, Locale NFC Plugin.

I can make the 1st profile "Silent Night" as a Profile launched by an NFC, then the tasks are to shut sounds down

I can make the 2nd profile triggered by the event of an incoming call, but that means that call breaks through always, and I only want it to work at night.

So, is there a way to swipe an NFC tag that activates both profiles, then on second swipe in the morning disables both profiles.

Thanks so much for your consideration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qsito:
Should be possible... For your second profile, you might want to take a look at SemiSilent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
make your first profile set %NIGHT=1

in the second profile as context options set %NIGHT=1 and Call from ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fender-bender:
Thanks for the referral. I am going to take a look at SemiSilent tonight. Checked it out briefly at Play Store, and it seems like many of the other ones, which make someone a priority caller ALL of the time. (My "Important Caller" task already does that.) I have emailed the developer to see if it can be activated and deactivated with Tasker or NFC Task Launcher, but I'm not holding my breath.

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Pardon my lack of understanding - I don't really understand what you are saying. "%NIGHT=1" probably refers to a variable? If so, is there a guide to using variables in Tasker?

EDIT: I've been thinking about this. I think you are saying make the first one be as i already have it, plus it sets a flag that it is active, then the second one instead of JUST going active if a certian phone calls, now it has to be a certian number calling AND the flag is active on the first situation??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
you got it. To set the variable in the task add an action Variables > Set Variable, then later in the context check it from State > Variable

I'm using a tag on my car dock to launch car mode, turn up ringer and media volume on 1st touch then switch back on 2nd touch. Also got a tag on my bike to launch cardiotrainer and strava, both done using nfctl. I've used NFC retag to timestamp my calender when I scan a blank tag when I get to work if I'm on overtime so I can track the hours I've worked but it asks to launch NFC retag before doing the timestamp, not ideal but it works. I'd like to write a tag to do this but have had no joy working out how to do this, it doesn't appear to be an option in nfctl? Ideally I'd like to write the date and time to a text file so I could quickly check through it but I guess that would require tasker?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
you can't just pull the nfc.apk from one of those roms as it requires framework changes as well. But the one I uploaded in this thread is working perfectly for current CM10 nightlies.

I'm having issues with JB & NFC, When I was on ICS as long as the phone never stopped touching a tag it didn't re trigger it but know I'm on JB this it does & it breaks my car dock tag.

Basically I have a tag that is stuck to a car holder that I put my phone in,not scans the tag, starts my car dock mode & switches on Blue tooth, when I'm finished I scan it again & it switches them off.

On ICS this worked fine but on JB if anyone calls (So my screen switches back on) it counts that as a scan & reverses it.

Any ideas on how to fit this? I'm not rooted & running everything stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XlAfbk:
you'll have to use a modded NFC.apk that has scanning enabled in screen off mode. Was the same in ICS though.

Howdy all, I use Google voice to ring the shop phone in addition to my cell phone while I am at work. I would like to have it turn this feature off once I leave the shop.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I believe you can set it up to ignore a tag for a pre determined amount of time like 30 mins or more. Go into settings, advanced, limit tag execution and click on how much time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Col. Sanders:
I bought mine on ebay www.tec-tags.com. Tagstand sells them also and his look cooler. Try a five pack if you are just getting started and I think the 1k are the ones to get cause of all the info/commands they will hold.

If you are in a hurry the Sprint store has them in stock, Samsung brand and they are 5 for $15.00. Maybe Best Buy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
I definitely suggest tagstand - www.tagstand.com

They have really good customer service and fast shipping.

I got the "NFC Task Launcher Pack" and added a few other stickers.

The pack included some keychain ones and normal stickers and came out as a discount. If you don't care for plastic / washable keychain type tags, skip the pack.

I added an outdoor type sticker in case I want to put a tag on something metallic.

NTAG203 is a good chip according to my search on Google, in the sense that it's quick, has good distance, and relatively good memory. It's considered newer and better than the ultralight c. If you're using NFC task launcher with Tasker you can fit anything on there (since you just use a tasker task).

If you want to make a vCard (like standardized contact with name number email etc) in a tag, you'll want the larger Mifare 1K tag. Tagstand has it too :)

I don't suggest tectiles because they're a lot more expensive than what you get on tagstand.

Time-out and using with MCC/Windows 7

Hey guys,

I have a couple of things I am looking to do with these and I'm hoping to find some help here.

The first thing is turning off the display time out - is this possible if I am using a device that has a password enabled on it? The largest value NFCTW gives me is 10 minutes. Maybe this can be done in Tasker though?

The other thing I am looking to do is a bit more complicated so I'm just throwing it out there on the slim possibility that someone knows how to do it or that a dev would find it to be a worthwhile addition. I have a few Windows 7 machines at home running as HTPCs and I would love to be able to do some NFC manipulation with them. I mostly use an app called Media Center Control but I don't see a way to leverage any of the commands within the app using either NFCTW or Tasker. Is there maybe a way to send commands directly to Windows 7 via WiFi? Here is a list of some examples of what I would want to accomplish:

- NFC tag that is a switch that would open Windows Media Center and start Live TV and the second part would be to close WMC.

- NFC tag that would play a specific playlist

- NFC tag that would play a specific video file or DVD folder

- NFC tag that would switch to a specific channel (or that would simply send the last channel command)

Let me know if there is a way to accomplish any of this. I'm pretty excited to see what these NFC tags can do!

can't wait till they get the sgIII jb hack to let it work screen off.

I just confirmed the carlocator works transparently. you swipe and walk. you interaction needed to log your car location (very cool) gonna put a tag on every car :)

this is going to be KILLER for geocaching. all you cachers start bugging geocaching.com to support this. would rock to find a cash tap and bam the find it logged all automatically and you could get "tips" for puzzle and multi caches etc.. lots of potential for geocachers.

I also wish you did not have to double tap. what I want is to put the phone in a car dock (I can't use oem docks since I use cases) have it enter a set of commands (say mode changes and start my podcast player etc..) and when I REMOVE it from the tag have it UNDO all that without me having to "tap" again. thats annoying. I want to grab the phone and run.

maybe this is something task launcher can do? silenty "check" for the tag and when the check "fails" ie you removed the phone from the dock "undo" the command set as if you had "tapped" it again.

ie make its usage TRANSPARENT. that is the potential "wow" factor for NFC.

also what is the largest KB tag you can get? can we get 60kb tags?

you can store a pretty good quality jpg at 1280x720 in 57kb of space.

would be really killer to actually put "FILES" into these tags and when you tap then bam you got the file.

txt files pdf's gif's jpg's there is a lot you can fot in 60kb if you do it right.

largest I have found so far is 8k and they are EXPENSIVE. anyone found larger? cheaper?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tooney:
Best way I've found to avoid the second tap when leaving the car dock is to switch the screen off/on/off again as I remove it. Not really a fix but I'm turning the screen off anyhow so I'm already on the button.

3. The tag launches an app to send a wake up packet to my NAS

and so as soon as I come home, I start my NAS with a tap of my phone :)

My NFC tags

So far I have tags that do the following:

To program and use NFC tags I use the "NFC Task Launcher" app found in google play store. I purchased my tags from droidtiles (.com)

On the way out of the house: Turn on BT, Turn off Wifi, Turn on Audio book app so I'm ready when I get in the car

When I arrive home: BT Off, Wifi On, Turn on GPS,

In the car: I have a tag that triggers navigation home

On my night stand: A tag that puts phone on silent, sets alarm for 6:00AM

At work: BT Off, Wifi On, Launch my To Do list app (GTask) so I start tackling all the things I have to do.

Stuck to my Nexus 7 Case: I have a tag that toggles my Wifi Access Point to put my GS3 in AP mode to share internet to the Nexus 7.

On the way out of the office: BT ON, Wif Off, Audio Book app on so I'm ready when I get in the car.

I will probably be making more. My house will be full of these things.
