New profile :

event, display screen off ==> plug in secure settings nfc on

New profile:

event system boot : plug in secure settings password pin , enable : type the password you want to use if you forgot your nfc tag + condition %WIFI~Off

New profile:

event network , wifi on , plug in secure settings password pin , disable

Exit task : plug in secure settings password pin , enable : type the password you want to use if you forgot your nfc tag.

New task: (name it UNLOCK)

plug in secure settings password pin , disable

wait 200ms

input , button : back button

4th and last step

: NFC-Retag

Scan your tag and add the action : tasker task : UNLOCK

Video in french on the original thread, feel free to correct my mistakes or help me improve the way this tutorial is (it's my first one)
[NFC Hacking] ifonuser78:
I'm trying to follow your tutorial, but it is written quite complicated.

Why do I need WidgetLocker?
[NFC Hacking] DannyDrama:
God bless you, sir. I was thinking of awesome ways to use this when I thought about putting a tag in my wristband. Its completely invisible and more handy than I thought it would be. :D
[NFC Hacking] Monteillard:
Because it's the only locker that I know that can be unlocked by the "return" key.

You are welcome :)

It's great to read such a comment when it's only the second one you get after waiting 2 months ^^

Have Fun !

You said: "...here is a tutorial on how to use a nfc tag to unlock galaxy s3 and

other android devices with nfc

."

But I don't see how you can flesh NFCmodSGS3_lockscreen to other devices when it's made specifically for SGS3...
[NFC Hacking] rashanh:
Great!

I would like to work with you on monetizing and creatig a business with the app you have created.
[NFC Hacking] spenc938:
This is cool and all, but I'm curious about the practical application of using this. I would think that sliding to unlock would be easier than carrying/wearing an NFC tag all the time.
[NFC Hacking] Talal916:
This makes me want to implant a nfc tag into my palm now...
[NFC Hacking] svfreddy:
^^^ yes. Can someone explain or shine some light to what good uses this would bring?

Security????
[NFC Hacking] Monteillard:
Hey everyone, sorry I didn't notice the replies sooner.

For the ones asking, this is useful when you don't want to waste time typing your password but still want a kind of security in case your phone is stolen.

As someone said, having an nfc tag in your hand would be the absolutely perfect thing, your phone would unlock just by holding it, and noone else would be able to use it
[NFC Hacking] trackzero:
Well, sure you think that now, but once you've been equipped with your government-supplied NFC tracking implant, it'll all make perfect sense.

Actually...This isn't something I'd use on my personal device, but for the phones in my dev environment, it's a decent way to lock 'em but still make it easy enough for a group of techs to unlock the devices when they're near the bench...
[NFC Hacking] klau1:
I'm trying to use NFC Task Launcher to control App Protector Pro so that specific Apps can be unlocked via NFC.

Basically the following method:

NFC Task Launcher -> Tasker Task -> App Protector Pro Plugin -> Disable App Protector Pro

But the problem is, the task to unlock App Protector Pro can be called from directly within NFC Launcher. This defeats the purpose of App Protector Pro since anyone can go into NFC Task Launcher to unlock App Protector Pro.

at least a PIN lock is needed to plug this security hole.

Is there any NFC Task Launcher that locks itself?
[NFC Hacking] codebam:
You could try locking NFC Task Launcher with a different locking app. Keep the same setup but have a passcode using a different locking app to lock it. If you need to tasker can lock apps too. It's a very basic lock but it still works.

Method 1: download a new locking app to lock NFC Task Launcher. Here's one I saw that looked good

Method 2: Lock NFC Task Launcher with tasker

Sorry no links. XDA won't let me because I'm new.
[NFC Hacking] klau1:
Problem with that is that the given lock app will pop-up once you scan a tag as NFC Task Launcher is utilized.
[NFC Hacking] tolrojus:
So cool:)
[NFC Hacking] Pati1112:
Thx :) its very cool
[NFC Hacking] Batou069:
Sweet! I'm going to try this ASAP! Thank you for the tutorial
[NFC Hacking] ssyphon:
Support for other devices...

Any chance of this mod being used for non GSIII devices? The file you want to download seems GSIII specific and like it wouldn't work for other devices, but you say that this is a tutorial for "other devices." Anyone tested this on another other devices to confirm that it works?
[NFC Hacking] capite:
Yeah I'm curious about this too. Has anyone done this successfully on another device, like maybe a Note 2? ;)
[NFC Hacking] peurocs4:
It's most likely that the S3 version will not work on other devices...

If you want, you can try flashing it after BACKUP!!!!

But this is what I did...

The NFC on Lockscreen/ScreenOff MOD seem to first started on this thread: CLICK HERE

So, I kindly asked on that thread if someone could port this MOD so I could use it on my Skyrocket.

Thankfully, one of the developers ported over for me with 24 hours...

*** When you are asking for a port, tell them your phone's model # and the link of the ROM that you are currently running!
[NFC Hacking] BL4Z3D247:
Wow, this is cool. What would be awesome is if they made something you put on your hand or finger like a ring that had a NFC chip in it. Gotta love Android. Thanks again!
[NFC Hacking] Lima650:
works perfectly in Galaxy s3 Mini xP!!!!
[NFC Hacking] r1lurk:
Be right back. Cutting NFC tag out of my bus pass!

Thanks for this. Amazing piece of trickery.

You can use the locale app with password lock plug in

The app unlocks and locks the phone whenever you want.

No root required
[NFC Hacking] gleenfield97:
just want to clarify the security aspect of this unlock method.

Is the PIN/password stored in the NFC tag? so when the phone scan the tag, it authenticates using the PIN/password stored inside NFC tag, and then unlock. Is this how the process works?
[NFC Hacking] TAY:
At last, a reason for me to get some NFC tags, now all I need is to find somewhere decent

Any recommendations?
[NFC Hacking] Blue6IX:
Amazon.
[NFC Hacking] TadeoNYC:
no, this is built around using one particular tag. The phone recognizes that tag and then triggers the unlock.

Does this work with the Nexus 4?

Just made another mod for our Xperia phones! :cool:

This time i had an elegant approach to this theme. Hope you like it.

What does it do?

It changes the systemUI and framework which has custom new system icons.

Full version includes: Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Clock, Conversations, Phonebook (changes phone and contacts look) and gTalk.

Compability

It has been tested in Pureness Rom only

but I believe it works on any 4.0.4

rom.

Instalation

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Crisarancibia:
nice one! but that bar down the house, apps and back do not really like ... could you make a version without it?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
The only thing you'll get in the zip for now is the battery, wi-fi, network.signal, etc...app icon not included. :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] chandoliasnikos:
I just flashed and it's really awesome! Thanks a lot mate, great job. Just a couple of requests: is it possible to put an X button to wipe finished tasks in statusbar? And is it possible to remove the onscreen buttons? Thanks again!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
I had no idea it has onscreen buttons! :S

Let me check with Thilinac in how ca we take it off! I'll let you guys know asap! :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] azaberl:
First let me just say that this is a very beautiful mod.

Like already above mentioned, can you please remove the onscreen buttons?

And another request, if that is even possible: can you make the statusbar semi-transparent?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Whit3stR:
Wonderful theme ! Both works on .587. It is true that onscreen buttons are useless on Xperia Arc, even worse we're losing some pixels x). To delete completed notifications you have to pick the notification and throw it away to the left or to the right. By the way how to uninstall a theme ?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Saiger:
WOOOW this mod is beautiful !! :D thx dude

i like the status bar so much :cyclops:

:good:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
Thanks guys! :D

I'll update it tonight with some custom apps to match and new wallpaper!

This is the reason I do these mods: you guys liking it! :)

EDIT: POST UPDATED! :) Enjoy!

Looking forward man!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] aj1289:
Add a new feature

Hi,

I have been using this UI mod for sometime its great, was wondering if it would be possible to add the time on the taskbar next to the battery logo, and also is there a version you could make for me without the onscreen buttons...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] FAdrums:
Sorry for not updating the post but I've been overloaded with work ( real job) and I have no mood to do Android work after work or in the weekend. I think next week I'll be able to update it with a moded stock systemUI. Thanks guys and once again I apologize! :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Babis_ECE:
Awesome theme, thank you..!!!! :good:
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] dagustl:

This "Matching Apps" UI looks fantastic. :D

Thank you so much FAdrums !

Runs perfect on ICS&JB Remix V2 and ArcKnight3.5.1

Will report again when Jaders Xperia Ultimate HD V2 is out . :good:

[HTC One S] treklos:
So I have a problem, my HOS is constantly disconnecting from the network. It'll only stay connected as long as I'm not browsing using the 4G network, on Wifi works fine, never disconnects.

At first I heard it was a problem with the TMO network and they were working on updates, so I waited; then I heard it was a problem with the HOS and the TMOB RUU version, and loading a HTC EU ROM would solve the problem; then I heard that it was a problem with the radio, but no one has a consistent method of flashing an updated radio with S-ON (some say OK to flash with Clockwork, others not so much luck, seen reports of soft bricks).

I havent seen anyone really find a solution for this problem. Seen folks say the build.prop needs to be updated (which I haven't tried), others have fixed with different ROMs, everyone has a different solution that only appears to work for them.

FWIW

HBOOT-1.09.0000

RADIO-0.16.31501S.16_2

Running TrickDroid 7.1.0

So my thought is that it's a problem with my device (I got it the first day it came out) so I assume it has to be a manufacturing defect that hopefully a warranty exchange would resolve.

I'm down for reloading stock, but as I recall the minute the bootloader is unlocked the disclaimer appeared. Anyone know how to lock the bootloader?

My other question is, has anyone done a warranty exchange or know if they care if the device is rooted since more than likely they'll just reflash it to stock and put it in the refurb stock. I've done warranty exchanges with G1, N1 and MT4G while rooted and no one seemed to care. But now that the bootloader has the disclaimer on boot, I fear I'll be on the hook for the device since it's rooted.
[HTC One S] randomnoob83:
You can flash radio zips cuz you hboot is 1.09
[HTC One S] treklos:
With clockwork or another method?
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
With TWRP. I had those disconnect issues with T-Mobile stock everything, but unlike you, I ran the RUU, so yes I got an update HBOOT but those issues are gone.

T-MobileUS HTC One S running Stock Rooted 2.21.
[HTC One S] mike102871:
I flashed my radio with clockwork.
[HTC One S] treklos:
thanks guys. very excited to hear that the new radio solved the issue. I was waffling between ditching the HOS for a GNexus but the camera on the HOS and the overall form factor kept keeping me near.

I'll try it as soon as I get back in town.
[HTC One S] ECEXCURSION:
Please let us know if this works for you.

My girlfriend just bought a T-Mobile one s after seeing how nice my one x was, and she has been plagued with radio problems the entire time. I've ran the latest T-Mobile US RUU hoping it would fix the issues but it has not.

Obviously, I'd like to hold out as long as possible with rooting her phone incase she needs to return it. Anyway, let us know how it goes.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
I don't know if it's network/tower congestion or what but fh13 seems worse than el29. I don't know if it makes a difference because I used to run different modems than the rom I was on but lately I've been using the same modem/rom.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyman08:

My RAZR doesn't charge faster even I used with higher current 2.1 amp charger.

Is there anyway to remove that charging current limitation?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
Yeah

By charging the battery directly with a charger.

Don't do that, it's dangerous (possibly) and most likely will damage the battery by charging it too fast.

And higher amperage does charge my razr faster up to ~95%

After that it charges slower, by the time it's at 100 it's like only 10mins

But from 0-90 its about a 30min gain

Sent from my XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
0-90 : about 30mins is so impressive.

What charger did you use to charge that quicker? I've tried with my car charger Kensington 2.1amp but charging time is as the same as original wall charger 800mah.

:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nickhammond121:
That's because the phones charging protection circuitry only draws the current that is required
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
Hardware or software related?

Is there anyway we can remove that restriction?:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] katu2006:
I know it may sound good to remove he restriction, but it's not a good idea at all.

It's hardware related (probably just some diodes/CIs) and that's the way it should stay (from safety reasons). Batteries have predetermined "life-cycles" and by charging them with a higher current than specified, will definitely cause cells to overheat and melt/ignite. Even if you pull this off once or twice, the battery will die very quickly...

More info on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

Scroll down to safety/specifications.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
Thank you for your info!!!

Due to hardware restricted, it shouldn't be a problem if I use my car charger to charge it on the way, should it?

I wouldn't pull that hardware off. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
an iphone charger (1A)...it gets insanely hot when charging the razr and charges mostly faster than the stock charger.

i advise to not use the 2 amp charger too often and just live with the charge times, your battery will last longer that way.

does you 2.1 A charger atleast get from 0-50 faster?

maybe it's just too much of a load so it gets restricted
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
This morning I charged my RAZR with my 2.1A charger. Yes, you're right, it did charge a bit quicker before 50%. So, I reckon, I shouldn't charge my RAZR with it again. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
exactly

i'd advise against it as that is a major jump in amps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brandogg:
It really shouldn't make a difference, since the phone should only be pulling what it needs/can handle. Any charger 5v 1a and up should ideally take the same amount of time to charge the battery. Just because the charger can supply a higher current doesn't mean the phone will demand it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
I thought the same as you before but it did charge a bit quicker than normal with 2.1A . (0 to 50%). :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
the circuit won't let you instantly harm the battery, but we have no idea what the C rating is on the battery so it could still stress the battery more than is needed, and yes, total charge time is pretty much the same, but it gets to a higher percentage faster, and then hits a major slowdown when the charging circuitry kicks in.

my razr makes the iphone charger i have instantly heat up, no other phone/iphone does this, there is nothing wrong with the phone or charger (it's the charger i use when not home)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ov_darkness:
I'd say it's completely safe to charge any smartphone with compatible charger. Specialized IC will check voltage, current, temperature (and their delta's)and won't let you harm your battery.

If your phone charges faster from 0-90% its OK!

I've used Nokia chargers (AC-10E and AC-50E- 1.3A), also Samsung, HTC, and lots of USB ports in cars, PC's and others with my HD2, S8500, and now XT910 - it works just fine.

If somebody knows what IC Moto used in XT910, we could check what charging routine is used and estimate max charging current (I think that 2.1A charger is overkill)

EDIT: Power management chip in XT910 is Quallcomm PM8028, but no datasheet is available. :(

Hi to all,

I don't know if this is the correct section to post this thread, of not be free to move it :)

I was reading on the Web that Facebook rebuilt the App for Apple using Objective - C instead of Html5, I hope that they will do something even for us because I don't know you but the problem that is not possible to upload photos is quite annoying.

It seams that even Friendcast doesn't work good...Maybe this is the good moment to stop using Facebook :) Just kidding Ahahah.

[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
1. Many tech sites and users have been saying that the Facebook app on iOS lagged worse than the Android version hence the change. The iOS version NEEDED the update where as the Android version would benefit from it but they don't deem it necessary. Hopefully they will do it in the future though.

2. I can upload photos with both Facebook & FriendCaster. Not sure what issue your bumping into
