I will update this post when I get home with the set up. I normally check my posts so this will remind me to update :p

Sent from my Evo 4G LTE

EDIT: Here is the setup. Please be advised that you have to have a mobo/router that can support this.

Get Wol Wake on Lan Wan app from Google Play and set it up. The author has a guide here on how to do it. It's actually pretty straight forward. Even tells you how to set up the router (it will tell you for stock firmware, if you flashed something like dd-wrt on your router let me know and I'll try to find the guide I used).

Now comes the more 'complicated' set up. Get Tasker the author also has a trial version on his website if you don't want to buy it yet. Follow these steps:

Hit Tasks at the top and then the plus button and create a new task, name it if you wish.

Touch the blue + and select Misc and then Action Intent and fill each slot with the following options:

Action: com.benfinnigan.wol.widgetlaunch

Cat: Launcher

Data: blank

Extra This will be the location of the WoL profile you made in step 1, adjust if it's in a different place.: CPATH: /mnt/sdcard/WoLANWAN/Nameofprofile.dat

Extra: blank

Target: Activity

Leave If, Continue Task After Error and Label unchecked/blank.

Press the green checkmark and make sure it saved, then press it again. Hard part is over.

Open up NFC Task Launcher and press New Tag > New Task > Add Action > Tasker and then select the Tasker Profile we made in step two. Write it to your tag.

Set your computer to sleep/turn it off and then scan your tag. Welcome to the future.

If anyone else needs any help with Tasker I'll be willing to help :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jumbeemann:
^^^^ wow that seems pretty cool. My tags should be here tomorrow, can't wait to try this out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Indeed. Regardless of using a NFC tag, I really like this setup. I have a WAN setup which lets me turn my computer on through my phone even if I'm not on my Wi-Fi network and it's awesome.

Is there a way to use NFCTL to close an app? or is that something I'd need tasker to integrate into NFCTL?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neoshi:
Thanks for all the useful info!

For DD-WRT, especially the newer releases, all you really need to do is:

1) Enable WOL in the BIOS (on newer mobos, it may be under Wake on PCI/PCI-E)

2) Enable WOL in windows for magic packets (make sure it allows wake from off state)

3) Go into DD-WRT Services and set Static DHCP for the computer you plan to use WOL on (any static IP will work)

3) Port forward (UDP) whatever port you decide to use for the static IP you chose (use port range forward instead of port forward)

4) Go to DD-WRT settings for WOL and enable for the mac address

5) Go into WOL app on phone and setup for both internal and external IPs

5a) For the LAN mode, enable broadcast to set subnet to 0.0.0.0

5b) For the internet mode, disable broadcast and make sure you have the correct port and external IP.

6) Use magic packets sender in receive mode to test receipt of packets

7) Dunzo!

You would Tasker. What app and I'll try to make a Tasker APK to do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HuDuVuDu:
If you click the "?" next to Allow External Access under Misc it says Tasker Kill App can not be triggered via external commands.

I set up a Task to kill apps, it works if I run the task from Tasker.

If I create a tag to trigger that task it does not work right. The Nav gets killed, glympse get shut down, then reopens, Pandora skipps to the next track.

I have a tag to open glympse, open Nav, Open Pandora, set brightness to max, media volume to max.

Trying to set one up to kill all when I get home has been more trouble. So I just kill everything manually.

can the phone perform a task when it is removed from a tag? for instance, id love a tag that i had on my car dock that turned on bt and off wifi, then when i took it out of the dock it turned off bt and on wifi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] masseyboy1990:
One for the htc car mode app.

Are you making the apk with the app factory that is in the tasker beta? this week is paycheck week and ill be getting tasker over the weekend so if you're using the app factory I can play with it myself :) thanks for the offer though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
What application tells you that? Try to just launch it through the WOL app itself so we can find where the problem lies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
EDIT:

WOL gave me that error message, but only when I run the task in Tasker.

WOL works fine when ran through its app. I'll keep trying.

Anyways, back on topic! Perhaps a tag to boot into bootloader for ROM flashing. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Make sure you typed in the name of your profile verbatim. Make sure there are no spaces before at the end or between the path.

Easy-peasy (root required):

New Task on Tasker> Add Action> Plugin> Execute (If execute is not availiable make sure you have Locale Execute Plugin installed. It basically allows you to run terminal commands through Tasker.)> Edit> Type this in, press back when done !reboot recovery> Save and execute to test. The first time it might take a couple seconds to ask for root permissions, make sure to hit remember so it will do it instantly in the future.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jiggytom:
I'm having the same issue :(

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Fixed it. The profile path needs CPATH: (space) PATH

I.E. CPATH: /mnt/sdcard/WoLANWAN/home.dat

That fixed it for me!

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

And just in case you guys are wondering, you need to have Tasker installed before you install NFC Task Launcher..odd. Doesn't work the other way around!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Interesting, I just checked and I assure you mine does not have the CPATH yet works just fine. But hey, whatever works :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
Thanks I'll try that.

Is there a way to unlock the phone with NFC?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
That fixed it! Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] s4pat:
is it possible to use tasker to put the phone in airplane mode, then turn NFC back on? that way i could use the tag as a toggle for airplane mode. as it is, you can use it to turn on airplane mode but have to manually turn on nfc in airplane mode to get it to work again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Not airplane mode because it will do that, turn airplane mode on which by definition turns off all wireless signals. But what you can do is set a task to toggle all the other wireless technologies on/off (mobile data, 3G, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) that way NFC stays intact.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
bueller? bueller?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EvoN00b:
Ok, so I just got some tags and using NFC Task Launcher I made a simple switch to turn my ring volume off and go into airplane mode, then reverse it back. When it runs the first task for some reason my NFC is being disabled and I have to manually turn it back on in the settings. I running MeanROM ICS so I'm not sure if it is ROM related or what.

Any ideas?

Edit: Nevermind, read the above posts.

Which wifi tether are you using? If its the sprint hotspot NFC launcher's built in wifi hotspot task works for that, and i think tasker's wifi tether option is for the AOSP tether, which doesn't exist in sense and doesn't work in CM9/AOKP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Oh ok, yeah I was using WiFi Tether for root users. Not Sprint's or AOSP.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
If you're looking for a way to initiate the tether without having to resort to using the widget or going in to the app you can look in to Autotether which will allow you to pair devices and trigger the wifi tether from another android device.

Anyone else have issues setting notification ring tone through NFC launcher? When I try to select one to add to a tag, it just keeps reverting to "silent".

Try setting the Ringer volume. I don't think we're able to set different volumes for Ringer and Notifications at the moment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
Not the volume, the tone itself. The volumes have worked great for me so far, but notification ring tones not so much.

Hi,

i tried it liked discriped on page 10 to configure Tasker to WOL my PC.

The WOL app is working fine.

The Task in Tasker by it self is working fine.

I did allow access from external apps.

But when i try to start the tasker task from "NFC Aufgaben Launcher" it only starts Tasker and opens the Task screen but is not starting the Task it self.

Any idea about that?

With best regards.

Tag/Tasker issue

I have been using them in my truck and house to set WiFi on/off and BT on/off. Works great until a couple weeks ago. I noticed that sometimes when I run the car tag, it only turns off wifi and doesn't turn on BT? If I present the tag the second time it works?

Anyone else have this issue, or know where I should look? Nothing has changed, works as expected for a long time then this? Should I re-program the tags maybe?

Thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skullmonkey:
Mine in my car seems to be acting up. I'll hear the sound and it will kick in a few seconds later. My theory is that he has changed how some things get toggled. I'm going to try and reprogram it today to see if that helps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
Anybody know how to start a VNC server with NFC?

EDIT:

I found a setting in droid VNC Server that runs the server upon launch.

I used NFC Task Launcher to write a tag to run droid VNC Server.

A .vnc shortcut was placed in the Windows Startup folder and it automatically connects to my Evo when the PC is started via WOL. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I've got several tags programmed that I use and really enjoy this tech. My question is: Is there anyway to program a tag to enter your lock-screen password and unlock your device? My employer requires our phones to be password locked with a long password and it is a real pain to enter it every time I want to use my phone. It would be great if I could just tap a tag to my phone and unlock it. And yes, I have the modded apk installed that allows NFC to work with the screen off and locked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] georgedeaves:
If you're rooted, and using Tasker, I wonder if you can program Tasker to do this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
If anyone has tasker, can you check if you can setup a task to enter your lock screen password. I don't want to buy the app and find out it won't do it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] georgedeaves:
I can't at the moment. You can download tasker as a 7 day trial from the Internet rather than the market. I do believe it does enter passwords on unlock. Think you need to be rooted, and perhaps a plugin.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
You can but you need Secure Settings plugin (which is something that goes hand in hand with running Tasker). Secure Settings is free from the market. You also need root, if you are all set, this is how to do it:

~ Add Task > Plugin > Secure Settings > Edit > Wake Device > Screen Dim > Choose 3 seconds (this is important! screen must be 'on' for lockscreen to be forced, if you set it to dim it will simulate the screen being off).

~ Add Task > Plugin > Secure Settings > Edit > Pattern Lock > On

~ Add Task > Display > System Lock

You can then assign that task to a profile to trigger when you do X. For example I have that list of task to turn lockscreen on and lock device when I'm not connected to my home's Wi-Fi and then an inverse profile to turn off the lockscreen when connected to my home's wi-fi (still have to enter the lock code once upon connecting).

Any one have any idea why vibrate still turns on even though I set NFC Launcher to silence ringtone, silent notifications and Never vibrate?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Faxman:
Great question. I have wondered about that and a related question.

Like you, I want to stick a tag in my car dock but have wondered what the effect of remaining in range of the tag for an extended period of time would be. Continue running the tasks? Go to sleep until it has lost and re-acquired the signal? (I don't have any tags yet)

Actually, I've sort of mimicked the functionality you desire using AutomateIt Pro using Docked vs Un-Docked but it has been a bit unreliable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EABonney:
Ok so I have a really "dumb" question here, can some educate me? I just put Tasker on my phone this week and have been playing around with it and really love what it can do for me so far. What do the NFC Tags offer me that Tasker doesn't already do? How do the tags work differently than Tasker? I still need to get through all the pages in this thread but was hoping someone would educate me a little more :)

Thanks,

-Eric
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
NFC tags come in handy when you can't get Tasker to do something on its own (like sticking a tag on a universal car dock to launch the Car app when the phone is docked).

Launch a specific "radio station" from TuneIn Radio Pro

Greetings all,

I recently purchased some NFC tags, and started messing around with them. I was wondering if there was a way that I could set up a tag where I start tunein radio pro on a certain station? I see that I can start the program, but what I would like to do is have the tag in my car where I jump in, hit the tag, turn off wifi, turn up media volume to 15, start tunein radio pro on "this station"

Is that possible?

I have the "tasker" program, but I am so lost on setting that up..

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MinceMan:
So I know there are programs to do everything but the station with a simple nfc touch. I would say that the stay is not possible because there is no station shortcut that you can make. Always On with Molly Wood has a segment on this that may help you out.

Help

Does Tasker have to be running to do this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
to do what, exactly? If you use something like NFC task launcher it has some built in functions. What tasker allows you to do is to take the "hey x nfc tag is being put up against the phone" command and use it as a condition for tasker.

For simple stuff like turning wifi on and off and things like that, you don't need tasker, just something like NFC task launcher.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattyinob:
Not quite

There is no real way to tell an NFC tag to do more than open an app at this time. For you to open a specific instance within the app, you would need to get with the app builder and have them make an intent in their manifest that would open that station. Then you could link to that intent. I.E. radiopro://station1 would tell android to open radio pro (if installed of course) then radio pro would be requested to open station 1. But again this is up to the app developer itself. Sorry if i was too techie, just explaining as this is what I have done to my app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cobyman7035:
i think nfc is just for lazy people!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Do you also think Titanium Backup, Dropbox picture backup, making nandroid backups with TWRP and apps such as Obackup (create nandroid's outside of recovery) are also for lazy people? :confused:

You must have never used one NFC and specifically NFC with tag to handle tasks before. Once you do try it to handle things like changing sound profiles, turning BT on/off, wifi on/off, GPS on/off you'll rethink that lazy perception. I mean seriously, who really wouldn't want the tap of the phone to handle 5 tasks, immediately, that they would otherwise do manually OR not do all of because it's a pain to do?

Here are two of mine just as examples. There are second tasks for each (such as out of the car and leaving work) that I won't post but these two will give you an idea of my laziness I guess. Lol

I have a bunch of new tags that I never used with my Evo LTE so I thought I would write some new tags with my Galaxy S4, but I get a message tat says the tags aren't compatible with my Galaxy S4. I've always used NFC Task Launcher, is there a different app to use with Samsung devices or do I need to get different tags?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Pretty sure it's the tags. I just saw an article on some tags and the tags were "Not compatible with Nexus or S4's" and some other devices. I'm not sure how tags can not be compatible but that's the case I guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
Yeah, I contacted the guy that wrote nfc task launcher and he said I need to get some second generation tags. The original ones aren't compatible with the S4 nfc chip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
That sucks that you can't use the same NFC tags!!! That isn't an item that I would expect to have such a short life span! Sure, computers and phones are outdated in 1 year, but I expected the tags to used, without any changes whatsoever, for years to come. I realize it's the phone manufacturers that are making the changes, thus forcing the tags to be updated, but still. Just definitely didn't see that coming!! Thanks for the information though! It's very good to know and this is the first I've heard of this even though I read Android news blogs daily, so it's greatly appreciated!!

Can go into it either with Vol UP + home + power or using quick boot app and selecting recovery.

Can Backup only on internal SD when selecting backup on SD says can't mount. UPDATE: But it saves teh backup on ExtSDcard.

Backup does take a long time more so then it did on LG O3D.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deutschigmann:
TL;DR: Dropped Kindle Fire won't boot to OS or recovery, even after flashing FFF and "successfully" flashing TWRP. Broken flash chip?

More Info:

My brother gave me a non-functioning Kindle Fire from a friend of his. (FYI, I do not believe it to be stolen). When I got it, it would turn on to a static Kindle Fire logo for about a second, then the screen would get a little brighter, then go completely dead.

After derping around trying to get it to boot or be recognized (to no avail), I followed these instructions (USB boot shorting trick) to get into USB boot mode, then these instructions (Firekit bootloader and recovery installation utility) to install FFF and TWRP while the Kindle was in USB mode. Now, it boots to the yellow fire triangle, but after 10-20 seconds, it still gets a little brighter and then dies. NBD, I haven't installed a new ROM yet. However, if I press the power button again to get into recovery, the button goes orange, but then the screen gets brighter and dies again. Same happens when I try to fastboot into recovery. Firekit says sending, writing, loading, and booting recovery all worked, but the above continues to happen.

The device looks like it has been dropped; the glass on the lower edge of the screen is cracked, and it is generally scuffed and scratched around the edge. There is no visible damage to the motherboard or any components (no cracking, etc.). But these symptoms look to me like a bad flash chip. Any other thoughts?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
The battery may be low... Try using the factory charger (not USB).

If that doesn't work, let me know. This sounds like an issue a lot of people are having, and maybe I could work something out with you so I can get a failing KF to debug.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Also which command did you use in firekit? Try again with usb_fix_parts_and_install_fff_twrp. You may have a screwed up partition table. Since the LED changes color and the screen comes on, your first stage boot loader should be working.
