[NFC Hacking] Journyman16:
OK... so we have a function that, currently has little useful purpose for US but provides functionality that can be used against us? I recall a news program back when the touch'n'pay cards came out where a guy with a laptop over his shoulder and an off-the-shelf scanner walked through Flinders St railway station and in 10 minutes had 100 cards worth of details on his laptop.

That was the 2nd week after the touch cards were released.

If your phone is NFC enabled, why can't someone walk close behind you and DL your personal info as you walk down the street?

Serious question here... by enabling such comms it seems to me you are relying on security of a device that is already showing it is not secure. If YOU can read all these cards, so can others, AND they can read your phone. And given the ever-lengthening list of topics we are not allowed to talk about without making someone's terrorist blacklist, that means a wrong word here or there in your texts or emails can have you 'disappeared' without due cause.

Seriously, almost all western countries now have such laws available for whenever they want to use them. Look what NZ did to Dotcom. And NZ has always been thought to be a MODERATE country.

I'm not trying to kick off a conspiracy topic here, just pointing out, as a Desktop Support person with decades of experience, if you leave a door visible, even with a lock, SOMEONE is going to see it as a challenge.

NFC seems to be a little too vulnerable, and looks 'delicate' in ways that wifi and bluetooth aren't - wifi has hefty security built in and nobody uses bluetooth for their banking or purchasing.
[NFC Hacking] ylexot:
For one thing, your screen has to be on for NFC. Secondly, the range is ~1".
[NFC Hacking] Journyman16:
So this isn't the same technology they use for cards you wave at the sensor in shops? If it is, the readings the guy was getting from passing strangers on the street was close, but not 1" - more like 6" to a foot at times. And he didn't need to ghost them to get the info, just walked past them with the sensor held low.

I've got mine off; until I see a need for it (which replacing cards might be) I'd rather not have it running at all. I guess if the phone has to be put into NFC mode for it to work at all my concern is irrelevant, but for battery's sake I turn off everything I don't use.

SUBE Argentinian Public transportation card

this is also detected as an NXP's mifare type card but is encrypted
[NFC Hacking] one5:
It would only be possible for someone to do that if you had your screen on, with google wallet open. They would need an antenna and probably a laptop as well. It would have to be done in a store and the antenna would need to be aimed at the phone/ store reader. I can't see someone going through all that trouble and risking getting caught. You are much more likely to get you info stolen from a plastic card by swiping your card through a skimmer or having it photographed when you go to pay.

NFC Stuff to scan

In Warsaw, Poland there are City Bus Cards, which seem to react to NFC (they have 1024 bytes of read-only memory). I also found out that Copernicus Science Centre (also in Warsaw) tickets seem to react (64 bytes of memory of which 46 is writeable, so you can make your own tag).
[NFC Hacking] Talamor:
I seriously wonder about people who think they're going to accidentally get their info stolen. Have they ever tried to use Google Wallet on purpose? There's so many things you have to do just right to get it to work, I have absolutely no worries about it accidentally working, and someone stealing my info.

Manchester United season tickets.

I discovered this by accident as I placed my Galaxy Nexus on my wallet and heard it make a sound. A quick check through my cards revealed it was the season ticket that the phone was detecting.
[NFC Hacking] xBIGREDDx:
I didn't see anyone mention the Google Hotpot stickers yet. They are NFC window stickers that businesses put on their front door or window, and you can tap it for a link to the Google Places information for that business. Right now they are at least in Portland, OR; Las Vegas, NV; Madison, WI; Charlotte, NC; and Austin, TX.

The stickers look like this.

I scanned my paypass card but there is no data "empty". Is it normal?
[NFC Hacking] keekah:
I just got some tectiles the other day so I finally had a reason to turn on nfc. I tend to carry my phone flat against my wallet when carrying them together. Well in kept hearing it beep as if a tectile was being scanned. Turns out it was detecting my bus pass. It is the Houston, TX Metro Q Card. I couldn't get it to tell me how much money I had left on it though.
[NFC Hacking] aOneLeggedMan:
awesome

Love this technology, I hope it takes off soon. :)
[NFC Hacking] lap777:
The balance is probably NOT on the tag. The secure thing to do is to put only an ID and then keep your balance in their system. That way they don't need to write the tag each time, they just need to read it. And you can't hack a new balance.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

No tag in our Canadian passports. We often hear that they are one of the most secure in the world. Looks like adding a tag isn't that important for security (maybe it's just convenient).

Hong Kong "Octopus" sadly not completely integrated just yet.

Although I've heard a million times from almost everyone I meet in Hong Kong, people are really looking forward to be able to abandon the physical "Octopus" card already. Reason for the delay in implementation could be because of security issues or business politics, whichever it is.

This is just a watch with a built in 4kb (Mifare Classic) NFC tag. Can be programmed like a NFC tag, one useful purpose would be using it for storing your contact information so anyone you meet can have your contact details with a touch.

This watch was used at the NXP Innovation Summit 2012 in Amsterdam and is thus not on sale. The watch contained a id # for voting purposes.

[General Questions and Answers] MartySP:
I have had this problem for quite some time now and I am at my wits end:confused:. I have a Galaxy S5830 which was working fine until end of last December when I decided to change networks:cool: Which meant unlocking my beloved Network 3 ACE:p all went well:D THEN I decided to flash a rom or 2 seeing as it was also so simple. Perfect :cool:. But the problems started when I tried to make a phone call, the call is canceled (CALL ENDED) immediately (EVEN EMERGENCY CALLS :eek:). The phone is not Blocked or any silliness like that, weird thing is.. I can Go online on the phone EVEN Tether to my laptop (iv had friends tethering to it while I'M on it as-well) also SMS works! I have done searches up and down, even Google started asking me to give it up. But i'm determined I just figured I needed some Help from those who know how. (side note: I thought it was the modem since i flashed it to the Indian DDKQ6 changed it to XWKP7 base-band n still no difference) I'm pretty sure its the Dailer that's cooked some how.. also: Status of phone is normal connected to network 02, in-service etc.

Phone: GT-S5830

Vers: 2.3.4

build no. gingerbread.ddkq6

kernel: 2.6.35.7-CL561540 root@dell148 #1

baseband: S5830XWKP7

IMEI: i'v been around :rolleyes:

Any help would be much appreciated and please don't ask me to try reflash its the first thing i thought of.
[General Questions and Answers] WasabiTH:
Did you solve this issue?

Got the exakt same problem:

"Call ended" immediately after pushing call button. 3G, WiFi, SMS, everything works fine but calls.

IMEI is still visible

I tried following without success:

- SIM works on other phone.

- turned 3G and 2G on/off before call

- turned on/off call forwarding and call rejection

- hide/show caller ID

- factory reset

- different ROMS with different basebands (several stock ROMs; doesn't work neither)

- format data/system/cache

I'm running out of options..I'd be glad for any suggestions.

Thanks!

[LG Optimus 2x] kosi2801:
Since I've been asked several several times now to release the kernel I'm running on my own phone I took some hours and prepared it (clean build, cleanup of commit comments, etc.).

Beware that this kernel is build for my own purpose and usage-pattern so it may or may not work well for you. I have a pretty tight schedule with a full time job and also working on my master thesis therefore I cannot guarantee any support for this. That's also the reason why I keep this short and simple. Nevertheless if you try it please report some feedback on your experience. Don't let the version 006 irritate you, this is the first publicly available version.

Big thanks go to all developers who made this possible in the first place: spica1234, StefanGünthör, vadonka, and all others who provide the current sources of their kernels

Usual disclaimer

This software is intended for advanced users. You're using this on your own responsibility. I'm not liable for any damages to any hardware and/or data caused by using this software.

Incomplete feature list (see Changelog for detailed changes)

(based on spica1234's SR3R)

spica's powersave mode "2" by default

optimized compilation flags for tegra

removed (for me) unneeded kernel features and useless modules on tegra platform

Ext3/4 support

OC/UV enabled

ramzswap (with snappy)

reduced logging and debugging features

JRCU

loads of small changes to improve performance, stability, efficiency; including cross- and backports from other and 3.x kernels.

non-fancy name

no support guarantee

Known Issues

slowdown after long usage without reboot

sometimes instabilities with WiFi

Download

http://db.tt/LCGOUc1E (kosi006.zip, MD5: cd289d7f9fb378181f85d817121b7e63)

Installation

As usual install ZIP through CWM after performing the obligatory backup. Wipe of dalvik-cace and cache partition recommended.

Can also be combined with spicas Performance Packs for additional performance.

If instabilities arise, try increasing voltage by +25mV (worked on my phone).

Yes there my man comes!

Kosi bro felt very gr8 seeing your kernel. Congrets.

And thank you for giving TRUE honour by using SR3R as base sources with revolutionary OTF. I really feel good that atleast my SR3R sources are belived to be usefull, as Today i can see almost all stock kernels being either fully/partially based on performant SR3R sources. That's a great matter of HONOUR and PLEASURE to me. Thanking you to using it.

BTW you are free to ship Official OTF HP 2X OTF Tweaker Application with your build. I preffer newer Myrt OTF so you can use both but from my side you're free to use any of my work without my permission:)

I'm eager to flash. To be very frank I found your kernel building tutorials very easy for newbies. Keep updating that thread also, with new tips for newbies.

Once again congrets and keep releasing newer kernels, if you cant manage time then atleast once in a 10-15 days:)

[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
First impression coming from Spica1234 sr2r2 kernel my first notice is reduced smoothness, but it's also well known that sr2 had great smoothness. Anyways it seems to run fine and stable so once again thanks for sharing :)

Sent from latest Django Manouche with Kosi2801 006 Kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] kosi2801:
I'm not sure. I integrated some fixes from NVidia directly and tried out some other changes (CONFIG_DEEPSLEEP => only "hibernating" WiFi driver on disable, not completely unloading kernel module). The deepsleep made no change in the short run and locked up in the long run so I deactivated it again. The NVidia patches made it a tad more stable (at least that's my impression) but it's still far from rock-solid.

There are however several other options which are still on my todo list:

check and try bcm4239 driver from CM

check and try bcm4239 experimental driver from Stefan Günthörs repository

check and try bcm4239 driver from NVidia/Broadcom repository (which lacks the LG adaptions and is therefore much more work)

look for other possible sources of updated/changed bcm4239 driver on Tegra boards

check individual commits and fixes in all repositories and integrate/merge/port the sane and safe ones

So there is still some work possible on my side but the possible outcome of each single option is still unknown.

IF, however, LG would make another update to the WiFi driver publicly available this would surely be another highly relevant try/source to have a look on.
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Thank you. Glad to know I am not the only one bothered by WiFi problems. I have tried many ROM/kernel combinations and it's the same story everytime: At first it works as it should, then speed begins to drop, then it refuses to be turned on or off, causing a crash. I think I will give the v20s a try.
[LG Optimus 2x] kosi2801:
Please give me a short notice if that solves the issues for you :)
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Tried rebuilt v20s for a few days. Sadly the slowdown is still there, but the driver seems a bit more resilient -- I haven't got any errors when turning it on and off.

[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
If you want to test the standard 2x features you'd better to flash the original lg rom distributed in your country, baseband included. After mobile update do a factory reset. If you have problems contact the local lg support. If everyting is ok and want to waste time, try custom rom/kernel. Then all the problems will be between you and xda forum.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ddubs:
This happens to me actually. I'll go into the texting app and see that the text has turned small.

Don't agree, sorry. You can pinch to zoom to change the font size of the text bubbles, yes. But after the text has become small, if I use the pinch to zoom function to make everything bigger to the original normal size, after sending a few texts, the text will suddenly become super fat. Then I have to re-pinch/zoom back the big font down to a smaller size.

So... something is not right somewhere.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tehdead:
OK so the recent AOKP an (from what I hear) CM9 builds don't have the options to change the trebuchet launcher preferences.

Now I haven't researched why this has changed but I found a quick workaround.

0.) Need to have the Nova launcher installed

1.) Go into your Widgets set the "Activities" widget from nova on to your screen

2.) Scroll down an select Trebuchet then select Preferences.

3.) Click the new Preferences icon an there ya go :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] patsmike:
Nice workaround - i feel like i'm the only one in this boat as it seems like noone uses trebuchet anymore
