from what i've read...

doing what you're suggesting would pose a major security threat to all electronic door locks around the world. you're essentially duplicating your electronic key, which is not unlike duplicating an old school lock/tumbler key. unlike a traditional key however, this is an electronic key which means if you're able to duplicate it, you're also able to send/share it with friends around the world. in other words, we can set up a database of all the dorms / offices locks around the world and we can all have free access. doesn't sound like a pretty picture.

in reality, what our phones are capable of doing is READING the NFC tags. so if anything instead of thinking of your phone as the key, your phone can do the exact same thing as the lock, which is read the info off of the NFC tags. i know we have the ability to WRITE info onto NFC tags as well... but as others have posted there are issues of frequencies and i believe encryption which I HOPE makes this not possible for my security sake.

I'm sure if its physically possible(frequency wise) someone will make it happen. Its just like droid sheep, air crack, wifikill and the likes. Doesn't make it right but throw the technology out there and someone will make use of it.

I was able to do this with bluetooth and my Samsung Note 3 on Windows7. Got windows 10 and *poof*, it's gone as a bluetooth service. Now I'm scratching my head trying to figure out if that was a function of the BT dongle software, Dell security tools, Windows 7, or what!? A little off topic (not-NFC), but I have the same functional objective.

Is there any program where I can a Pin a tile to the start screen and directly turn on and off WiFi and Data connection?

Also a tile to directly adjust the screen timeout would be great.

RupiManager : Export Sygic custom POI categories to TEXT / CSV

Hi,

I have found on the Android market an application that can export the favorites categories

in a TEXT / CSV format.

Sygic stores the custom POIs in a RUPI format that is undocumented so that until

recently no software was made to solve this problem.

Now, with RupiManager you can export your RUPI stored POI to a text files suitable

for further converting to other navigators format.

You can also manage imported POIs (add/delete/modify) and export them in RUPI format too,

so this app can be used as external manager for Sygic custom POIs.

Look at this google play link, there is a free demo !

I wish I had a link to the article so this wasn't such an anecdotal response but I'm 99% sure that I read the ui the nexus uses is actually an in between mode for 7ish inch screens. The thing I read said there was a phone, a 7" and a 10" mode. The only reason I bring this up is that I would be interested in seeing that other view too just to compare so if you find anything else on the subject please let us know.

Edit: http://liliputing.com/2012/07/how-to-change-the-nexus-7-user-interface-to-full-tablet-mode.html

That article has a little more detail on the three ui modes and lists the dpi of the nexus 7 (213). As well as what range to set it to to get it to display the full tablet mode. This might be a good place to start from to try to get the xoom to go down to the middle size ui mode

Sorry to double post, but I have to say, your universal mod is SO much better on my Wingray.

I have hardly posted on this forum because I usually don't need to. My answers are usually answered in some thread or another. I have been lurking for a couple of years now. Thanks to all the XDA users who help out.

I am perfectly satisfied with the Nexus 7 completely stock, with one exception: I want to access windows and linux/samba shares from the tablet over Wifi. I do not want to install a custom ROM to do this. I saw a thread or two that mentioned this briefly, saying there was a kernel that does this, but mostly it is all vague. I found one kernel in the development forum that provides CIFS, but I do not know if that will work with the stock rom if I were to flash it. :confused:

Would someone please help me understand this? All I want is to use files on my other computers.

Thanks in advance!

You can access files on a network with ES file explorer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thankyousam:
If you want to mount the CIFs shares as local directories then you need to be rooted and the stock ROM will need some additional kernel modules. You don't need a custom ROM in that respect, but you do need to root the device. Cifs Manager, which only works as root anyway, will allow you to load the modules and then manage the mounting/unmounting of the shares.

There's the N7 specific modules in qwerp_'s thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781411. The 10th post of that thread tells you how to add those modules.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hesperaux:
COMPLETE

Just so everyone knows, I got this to work flawlessly :), but I had to go through hell to make sharing on Windows 7 work properly :(. I'm going to document that here for everyone's benefit.

Before I start, the end result was watching VOB format movies over wifi for 2+ hours with no issues at all. Very pleased with this. You can't do this with a basic SMB browser (because it has to download the file before viewing it).

I followed a lot of tutorials online after my initial attempts at sharing over the network failed. I wanted to do this WITHOUT a HomeGroup and WITH USER SECURITY ENABLED. I didn't want to share everything to Everyone like most tutorials suggest.

It turned out that sharing worked fine, with or without HomeGroup enabled, but only with other Windows 7 machines. This is because Microsoft hates my life and because it doesn't support "legacy" devices by default. The coolest part about all of this is that there is no way to fix this except by editing the registry directly. I will paste the registry fix into this post and also link to the source (Microsoft) just in case the link goes down.

Open: regedit.exe as Administrator

Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0

Create: DWORD (32-bit), called "AllowLegacySrvCall"

Set: AllowLegacySrvCall = 1 (binary, hex, or octal, doesn't matter if it's value is 1)

(I am a new user and cannot post links...)

support.microsoft.com/kb/957441

Another important thing: in the Network and Sharing Center, you'll need to edit advanced sharing options and enable 48- and 56-bit encryption support for older protocols (Don't use the 128-bit encryption because it probably won't work with most other devices, like the tablet).

Lastly, in your CIFS mount options (in CIFSManager this is the last input box in the settings) you may need to add domain=WORKGROUP,sec=ntlmv2

This is because the username it logs in with may or may not need to be specified according to the workgroup you are in (or domain, if applicable). The security option tells CIFS.ko to use one of the more recent authentication protocols that Windows 7 requires by default. You can change this default setting in Windows 7, but I think it is better to use the updated authentication method from Android since it appears to be supported.

Hope that helps anyone who is raging about this. I know I did.

If I think of anything else that's important, I will try to update this post. If anyone has any questions about getting this to work, let me know!

Thanks again to all who helped me figure this out. CIFS is wonderful!
