When I go into the restroom and lay it on top of my toilet the sound from red alert plays which goes "WARNING INCOMING NUKE"
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
LOL

..too funny :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] tjr2010:
If you happen to do an app, can you show me how to do it. I am very interested in this technology. It would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jagr:
how do you toggle GPS within NFC task launcher? i cannot find that task in the list.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] goofy584:
you need ntag203 tags (144k) to write tasks like this

http://rapidnfc.com/item/59/white_nfc_tags_ntag203_round_38mm

:cowboy:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] winwiz:
thank you! that's the answer I was looking for :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Aimara:
this may sound funny but in winwiz case , can you use two program tag side by side to scan on at one time ? also maybe add more function to it

Does any of the nfc tag have compatibility issues with S3? thinking of ordering this NFC Sticker/Adhesive Label/Tag RFID IC 13.56MHz ISO14443A Mifare1k S50 MF1
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Here's a fantastic use of tags or in this case Samsung TecTiles. I recently received a package from a friend and instead if him sending a letter with the package, he simply wrote a tectile for me to scan. Worked great.

used my S3 to send this.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] hillpounder:
You can use them as QR codes. For example calendar event for an upcoming concert.

Recently seen a simple for sale sign with tectile affixed. It then took me to website showing items for sale. Pretty neat! No pen nor paper were harmed in this NFC.

I'd love to be able to write macros and if-then-else statements.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] antisystem:
I use it for auto-enabling a custom "car-mode" - NFC sticker on my car-dock, just to turn bluetooth on.

First I tried to program the tag with every action, but it was quite slow imo.

So I reduced it to bluetooth-on only and do the rest with a tasker profile.

Result:

When I mount my phone in the car dock,

- NFC activates bluetooth (you don't say?)

- phone connects to car-stereo via bluetooth automatically

- tasker runs the car-mode-profile, when paired with car-stereo (mac-adress bound)

- display timeout to 1h

- auto-brightness off

- brightness level 100%

- start poweramp

- wait 3s (cause my bluetooth controller @car-stereo has a little lag)

- volume 100%

- start media playback​

- when not paired anymore tasker runs exit task

- display timeout back to 15sec

- kill poweramp

- auto-brightness on

- bluetooth off​

So I just have to mount my phone in the car-dock and it automatically starts playing music via poweramp over the car stereo.

I'm considering flashing the NFC-with-screen-off-MOD, so I don't have to turn on the screen, when mounting.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] faddys123:
Isn't that a waste of a tag?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] BrokenPixel:
LOL what a waste.. someone actually paid to send some data tru mail? seriously? why?

next move will be piratebay starting to ship DVD's with illegal content.

haha
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ixgameov:
I've set a tag up in the bathroom under the lip of the counter to ensure wifi is on, set media volume to max, and open up my sirius/xm app. Luckily for whatever reason I haven't had to modify the phone to read nfc while locked/screen on.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jerdog:
I have one in my car, work and home to change ringer, volume and adjust screen timeout
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Depends what you call a waste.. the tag is re-writeable so no the tag is not really wasted. Though.. they are cheap enough to discard if you so choose to do so.

No dude. Someone paid to send me a gift. They also wrote a tag for me to scan and read instead of sending a letter. I thought it was pretty cool and worked out great. Not sure why you felt the need to post a negative comment putting down the use of a tag. I created this thread to give other users ideas of how to use the tags- that was an example. If your here putting down the fact that he gave up a tag that's just retarded. I bought a starter pack and STILL have a bunch of unused tags. Nothing wrong with sharing and finding a use for em.. don't be an ass... troll somewhere else kthanksbye. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] LtdEdFred:
Any thoughts on how the tags will fare if you put them eg under a desk. Will the phone still be able to "touch" it through a few cm of wood?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Doubtful.. they need to be VERY close. Not touching, but close enough. You may try it but I'm thinking any further than a cm prob won't be close enough.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alias_neo:
I just gave it a go for you and the answer is no, it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] LtdEdFred:
Thank you for testing. I really doubt the missus will appreciate having these white stickers around (at least visible). It would also seem even more magical if I could just put the phone on the living room table instead of fishing out a tag from the closest drawer.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] alias_neo:
You're welcome. All I can suggest is perhaps if you find something fairly thin, that you can stick it to the other side of, or underneath, you should be ok ... I'm just going to test a drinks coaster now ... ok, a 4mm thick drinks coaster worked fine.

Perhaps failing that you could print or draw something nice onto the white tags., put them inside some sort of ornament that is thin enough to work with.

Personally, I have just stuck mine all over the place, but then my house isn't tidy enough for anyone to care :silly:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Kaibosh:
Also worth noting that different tags have different strengths.. Rapidnfc has a page detailing the different strengths (http://rapidnfc.com/which_nfc_chip) , although I it guess that it would be subjective to a point..

Even the strongest would be unlikely to make it through 1cm though.

Edit: I stand corrected.. I just tried some of the huge, strong "scan strength" ones that I bought from RapidNFC ("NTAG203 Round 38mm") and they make it through >1cm.. Admittedly, cheap particle board, but it makes it through..

1.5cm (particle board): works

1.9cm (decent solid wood): works

3.4cm (particle board): works

5cm (particle board) : nope

I don't have anything between 3.4cm & 5cm to test with :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] phillycodehound:
Great Post

I'd just like to say how great a post this is. Thanks for sharing.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] daoth:
Why write tasks on the NFC tags in the first place, Take a look at Locale NFC Plugin

This will fire an event in Tasker which you can program the way you want. (Make sure to tick 'repetitive scan').

You would not even need to buy and write NFC tags, just re-use the ones you get in all products that you buy.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
That's not very practical for someone wanting to make a tag for their car dock or something similar. Unless I'm understanding it wrong you have to use an existing NFC device or tag of some sort. But that's the beauty of tags.. they are small and you can stick them anywhere.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] daoth:
You do not have to, but can...

Tasker and locale do not need a tag to write to, it only scans the id of the tag.

Every single action you want to do is then programmed in tasker itself.

no need to even write to the tag, and no issues with tag sizes either

if you want it to start playing the latest MP3, silence the phone, send an email, tasker does it for you.

you can even add additional contexts, place a tag in your car,

and based on your GPS or Cell location have the scanning of the tag behave differently. (as example)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] leptians:
Control lights

Other than the normal Car-mode, Office-mode, Home-mode, I also have NFC tags to toggle lights in the house. With NFC lockscreen Mod, it's a breeze to just tap and go :)

btw, there is also AnyTAG NFC Launcher, which does not write the task to the NFC sticker, but rather using the NFC UID. It also capable of calling tasker's task.

I use both AnyTAG and NFC Task Launcher depending on the purpose of the tasks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for the great ideas guys! I've been terribly busy at home and my computer has been on the fritz. But anyway, redoing the home office, got all new computer components ordered and should be here Monday/Tuesday. I plan to sit down and re-organize this thread, make it a little more useable for reference! Thanks everyone who has contributed this far! :)

NFC - Now I get it

I really didn't see what the big deal was with NFC on my GS3 i747. Until I finally received my first set of NFC tags.

I have these things hiding all over my house now. I scan the tag based on where I am and what I'm doing. It really made me love android all over again.

A good example, beside my sound system, I have a tag where I scan my phone to automatically turn on my Music app. Also, beside my bed I have a tag that puts my phone on silent and sets my alarm for 6:00AM.

I LOVE these things.

I bought mine from droidtiles.com

added a short list of uses to the OP so users don't have to skim through all the pages :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dallas79:
how do i kill the NFC sound? i just recieved my first tags and want an nfc on my bedstand to silence the phone, but it is rather annoying that it beeps when i lay down my phone and the wife is slepping:) i tried looking for the sound in system->media->audio->ui where i killed the camera sounds and others, but cant find it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I haven't tried to kill it. I'm not entirely sure :-/
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RorixRebel:
nice thread, i'll add what my tags do

Home - Turns off 3g, turns on Wifi, set brightness to 50%, turn sync on, check in with foursquare, and screen on time set to 1min

Car - Turn off Wifi, Turn on 3g, start poweramp, set brightness to max

Work - Turn off Wifi, Turn on 3g, disable sync, media volume to 10%, check in with foursquare, brightness automatic, twitter "Morning everyone"

Night - Turn off everything and let me sleep in peace + twitter message "Good night folks"

i still have 7 NFC tags laying around and i have no idea what to do with them :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
love the twitter messsage! haha awesome.. adding to the OP! :D
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] dr g:
I have one on my bluetooth earphones (Motorola S10-HD) that turns on my bluetooth and sets volume to medium. Nice to just tap when you don't happen to have bluetooth on rather than swipe over to the power control widget.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
hell yeah.. nice one. Thanks for sharing :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chriscolden:
I'm not sure if this is helpful or not. I have an NFC tag in a wrist strap. I've been doing something simler to you with it. I'm currently running crDroid which includes NFC hacks for turning it on when the screen is off, or when the screen is on. Default is when the device is unlocked. Now it's built into this rom, but nothing stopping you finding the mod for your version of JB or ICS and flashing it. This would make the NFC behave as you like.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
The files are embedded in the APK.

See /system/app/Nfc.apk

I've been trying VLC and getting a bit lost. It just tells me there are too many errors.

I wonder if there are any that have the same texture as the SGS2? Because I really loved the ribbed non glossy texture of the SGS2 and the SGS3's texture is a little too much of a oil magnet for me.

[HTC One S] iArtisan:
I just can't stop shying away from the One S and One X because of all the hardware problems. Namely the chipping and the signal problems and what not.
[HTC One S] zukа:
Given that I'm having to check batch numbers and serials before I feel comfortable buying the device, and given that I'm pretty sure it's just going to chip anyway, I can say pretty comfortably that the quality control is pretty bad.

So we have:

- Paint chipping

- Home button issues

- Signal complaints

- S3/S4 change (not really their fault)

The whole idea of the One series was they were going to focus on making three awesome phones for three different types on consumer - big and powerful, mid-sized and powerful, small and fast. That ****'s already out the window - they're addicted to making variations and moderations for different carriers as opposed to just sticking to their guns.

Instead of just the HTC One X, S and V, we've got:

- One X AT&T

- One XL

- Evo 4G LTE

- Droid Incredible 4G LTE

- Desire C

- Desire V

- Desire VC

- Desire VT

They freely admitted that their falling profits from last year were due to releasing endless variations of the same phone and not focusing on making a few good ones. Given that the One series has hardware and software problems, and given that they've already announced 9 different phones appart from the "Hero" devices, it's pretty clear that focusing on one line of great phones was lip service.

HTC: quit ****ing around and manufacture your devices up to the same standard of quality before you go back to suckling whatever carrier's offering you a small contract. You're screwing over consumers to chase small term profit as opposed to building brand trust and confidence.
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
God damn...

that list makes we want to abandon ship and buy myself an Xperia S or even an iPhone.
[HTC One S] jmcdonald58:
I have to agree I have been using HTC since the G1 my last device being the Sensation I recently upgraded my girls phone to the 1S and I bought a Gnex off play store for me the Sensation is just 1 year old but replaced twice due to dust under screen my girls 1S I already replaced once due to random reboots I couldn't be happier so far with the Gnex although I only had a few Weeks its my 1st Samsung device so a will see how it goes but with the issues I already had with my girls 1S I kinda wish I would have waited for the SG3 for her either way no more upgrades for us I will buy outright for here out
[HTC One S] iArtisan:
any peeves for the Gnex? How's the screen?

And u didn't tell us how well the new replacement is working.
[HTC One S] Nick L:
Only people who have problems will bother to post about it. So this forum isn't really representative of what the phone's quality is like. The only thing I would be worried about is the chipping (but if you're going through T-Mobile you can only get the one that doesn't chip any way). I haven't had any problems and I'm not that lucky (2 Sensations with dust under screen).
[HTC One S] barmanham:
Galaxy nexus having that old CPU in is an instant no
[HTC One S] jmcdonald58:
Gnex is great screen is clear and responsive slide thru the pages smooth,it beautiful and 4.65 is kinda big for some but I actually prefer the larger screens my only peeve is the storage I get total space of 13.33 on internal and the system takes the rest of the 16g it came with so I rely on dropbox to store all my pictures media and larger files other than that I couldn't be happier..I will add that The 1S only has a little under 10g internal available I guess the has to do with Sense taking up more space

As far as the new replacement goes the phone isn't rebooting anymore but they sent me one with an old baseband of 0.15 I had to run the Ruu to get current to 1.53 and 0.16 baseband still haven't received ota update to 1.84 already contacted t-mobile once because I keep getting wifi calling error ER05"invalid sim card" they managed to update it over the phone yesterday but I got it again tonite after reboot had to toggle airplane mode to get it to work-lock screen froze once on her tonite also had to do a reboot I am pretty sure I will be back at T-Mobile Wednesday its my girls phone I haven't done anything to either one besides set it up for her I did get the ota on the one I returned like I say the last 2 devices from Htc (Sensation/1S) are when I stated experience Quality control issues all the devices before that worked fine

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

MMM to each there own I have both devices atm and the Gnex is definely what I prefer but don't get me wrong I like Sense just not the quality in the last two devices and I am sure its part HTC and T-mobile I use my phone for daily work calls and messages both provide those basics well Damn but dust under 2 devices and the 1S coming with the issues I have experience so far are leaving a bad taste in my mouth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] orisolo:
Hi Guys,

I just got an OTA on my phone. It doesn't say what is it?

I saw on Tmo site that ICS will be manual via Kies and there will be no OTA.

Does any one know what is this OTA?

Im rooted/cwm on stock and not sure if to install or not.

Thanks for the input
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Its the LDE update. Safe to install, but you will lose root. If you want more....please use the search thread tool.......damn it.....

Sent from the Darkside, ICS style
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] orisolo:
Tanks for the reply.

I will get the ICS from Tmo for now until dark-side will make the Tmo version base rom.

Since they are out i dont see a reason to go on the telus rom and might have issue with radio, revered compass and whatever.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll wait.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
well you can use the darkside telus version that doesn't have the telus radio.

and do people really download and use the compass app a lot? I would understand if you guys go camping and whatever, but if you're concerned about the directions you're pointed to on google maps then that is not reversed. Maps' "compass" is completely correct.

You can use telus radio and tmobile radio interchangeably because they use the same bands.

So the only issue is the reversed compass (not maps). There are no "whatever" issues lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] orisolo:
Thanks,

I didn't know the compass is the only issue.

No, i don't really need the compass on a "daily base" GPS is better :)

Go Launcher is not Officially supported on these devices and swallows the small amount of ram very quickly, I tried it for a day and got rid of it because of how badly it impacted performance.

edit: looks like since I tried it they added support for our players, still won't run it, its to much of a system hog.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
I don't know, but I tried switching to the default launcher, and it already crashed earlier than usual. Any other ideas? I'll try some other launchers over the next few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
Sounds like you are running out of system resources. You say you have a couple hundred apps installed and I bet some of those are becoming active and hogging precious ram and cpu resources in the background until the system crashes. I have a 2 year old Samsung Captivate and I only have minimal amount of apps because it will often big down and become unresponsive and crash. So before you head out to a repair shop, remove some of your many apps and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
So, if I understand, even if an app runs in the background for a short period of time, it still consumes resources, even after it's stopped running?
