[Android Apps and Games] pojo:
i love this app, i have it setup to switch on bluetooth, pandora, driving mode and so on for a tag on my phone cradle in my car, the problem i have is how to i turn all that off and return my phone to it's 'normal' state once i'm finished driving and walking away ?! there does not seem to be any options in the app, do i have to make all these changes manually/hit another tag to reset it ?! any help would be appreciated, thanx
[Android Apps and Games] kijojo:
Great App!! Thanks!

Will there be any opportunity for Real-Writing Tasks (Connect Wi-Fi,..) on the Tags, so that it can be read with every device? (It isn't possible because of the Android-Safety!?)

Another much more important thing: the "didum"-Sound while read a tag is really annoying - can this be deactivated?

Also a option to disable the notification after scanning a tag would be great!

Thanks a lot!

PM me an email address and I'll send a quick test build that should fix closing apps.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
Due to how Android manages NFC tags we can't do a "removed" from tag option. It *could* be implemented possibly but it's really hacky and would fail a lot. So, for right now, you're looking at using a second trigger (nfc tag read, bluetooth disconnect, etc) for firing the off condition.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
The tags can be used by any device with the app installed (by design). Doing it without any third party app isn't possible due to the fact there is no platform support for things like this.

The sound can't be, it's part of the NFC service. The only way to get rid of it is to flash a modified NFC service APK where the sound files have been replaced. It's really annoying.

Notification settings can be changed in the app settings (Notification, Toast, Both or None).

I'm on S4(9505) omega 9.0/rooted.

Why can't I get NTL to close any apps?

Kind regards!
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Can you add variables?

Like:

%date% = dd.mm.yyyy

%time% = hh.mm

I want use them for tts and in the notify box.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
Because I broke it :) It's fixed in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
%t and %d should work on free input text fields.
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
But if I use tts it sounds on German very crazy.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
%t turns into HH:mm:ss

%d turns into yyyy-mm-dd

Is it just getting spoken oddly or is the date format not coming out correctly?
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
The format is not like in German. The order is wrong.

And I want the time without seconds.

Any plans to add Locale plugin support to NFC Task Launcher (ie. run a Locale plugin task)? The Locale NFC plugin lacks the "switch/toggle" option of this program.

It is planned, but I don't have a specific time frame for it.

Tag removal event

I saw your reply regarding a tag removal event, but for some use cases that would be SOOO helpful (and yes, the car dock being one of the main ones). I haven't tried the following approach yet but probably will give it a shot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2122019

Frankly though I very much prefer your app, it's so much cleaner than any others. Would it be possible to implement via an optional root access plugin so the main app doesn't have to be "hacked"?
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
It would definitely be a plugin.
[Android Apps and Games] milky81:
I would also love to see a tag removal event so that when you put your phone on a tag on for example a car dock it does stuff, and when I remove it, it does other stuff :)

Another thing I would love to see is an option to turn off notifications. The notification that says Last Actions and then the task.

Thanks again for a great applikation! :D
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
Great app - i have used it to replace llama, though it is lacking in refinement somewhat.

I have many tags about the house and at work, each tag with 2 tasks attached to it. I find that there is no logic behind when task1 is inititated and when task 2 is started. I often have to tag twice to get the task I want.

Furthermore, I wish I could reset my tags every twelve hours (which is currently only a global option) for each tags - so I can decide which tags gets reset and which dont.

A more advanced feature i would love to see would be to have tags work during certain timeframes. There is already a TIME definition built into the PRO version (which I have) but there is no way to combine the two.....

ie When its between 8am and 9 am if I tag in then run TASK1, if between 17:00-18:00 run task2 etc etc.
[Android Apps and Games] tylerdurden83:
Quick question, is it possible to say make a trigger that once it recognizes a nfc sticker sends a sms, but if and only if the phone didnt send a sms to that person already, in the last x hours?

For example, I place a nfc sticker when I usually lay my phone to recharge. As it feels the nfc sticket it sends a sms to my parents saying "hey im back home!". But that should only be done if for example it didnt do it already in the past 12 hours.

Thanks all,

TD
[Android Apps and Games] nickmax1:
something that complex needs Tasker, or at best Llama.....this app isnt complex enough for complicated events like that.
[Android Apps and Games] 78Staff:
Agreed, outside of the scope of NFC//TM; but very easy to do with Tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] cbb77:
I'll throw this one out there for a future enhancement ; it would be great to see the ability to control the second task more. You have the option to reset the second task after 12 hours however would request some more granularity around this. Be nice to have ability to specify the reset time or enable or disable second task at will
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
Works only once

Hi,

I am facing a peculiar problem with NFC task launcher. I have setup a tasker task and using in NFC task launcher.

For the very first time I created it, after tagging my NFC keyfob, it wrote the task. Post that, when I tapped the NFC tag to my phone, it invoked the required task and on second time the exit task as well.

All fine until now.

Now, after some time, say around an hour, I again try to tap the NFC tag to my phone. This time, there is no action.

What I found was, I have to restart my phone, tag my keyfob again using NFC tasker and then it works for one time. Any known reasons here that the task works only once?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
What is the task?
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
Do you have any of the "Prevent repetition" options enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
The task is a tasker created task to enable bluetooth, enable mobile data, read weather information and to read a traffic card that is created. There is interaction with utter to read voice inputs.

Hi guys, so ever since the N7 came out I've been closely looking at it. The iPad 3 is a beast, great apps and whatnot, but honestly, apple has left a sour taste in my mouth, they discontinued this model!!!!! After 8 MONTHS!!!!!!! So what do you guys think?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Not a question we can answer.

Go to a store and try out the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 (when available) and see how you like it.

Google tablet specs are great, but tablet choice is really a lot of personal preference.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike46:
Hi there

I have the iPad 3 which is great but its boring,,, I now have a nexus 7 which also great and fun to use,

I think it will be bye bye iPad 3 ....

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
I consider performance and battery life to be excellent on my Nexus 7.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJHolderUK:
Actually it was only 7 months. The nexus 7 is an excellent device, from a consumers point of view. Cheap, powerful, high resolution compared to some of its competitors and has a very high bang for your buck ratio. From the presses point of view, its not an Apple device so don't buy it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godsmacksmitty:
Best Tablet I bought

For me, the N7 is the best tablet. I ordered mine for my birthday, I rooted it after 2 days just to confirm it worked and all. For the hardware and the Google experience, its hands down THE BEST. That is my opinion. I use it more than I use my phone. Plus I have a Nexus phone which got me sold on getting a Nexus 7 tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surfinette:
At home we have an iPad and our smartphones have all been Android. And I'm now considering an Nexus 7 tablet for my 10-y-old daugther's Xmas

To answer your question, I'd say it really depends on your ultimate usage of the device. In my opinion, iPad really beats Android on its much wider offer of games, kids games, education apps and kids interactive books... If you're not game-oriented, especially kid-games oriented, then give-up your iDevice for an Android device (the Nexus 7 seems great)... because on all other aspects i believe Android is superior...

The other point you should be taking care of is the screen size: The Nexus 7 is more comparable to a iPad mini... moving from an iPad 3 to a Nexus 7 might feel a bit frustrating... you may be considering a Nexud 10 or another 10" tablet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggydrums:
Lol I'm 15 no kid apps here :p but yeah I originally had an original galaxy tab which was 7" and loved it, which is why I would like to go back
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notjustafone:
Looks like Google will be discontinuing the nexus 7 8gb after only about 4 months. People who bought the 8 gb should be mad at Google and all the people who bought the 16gb for $249 in July should also be mad at Google for dropping the price by $50. ;)

I have both the iPad 3 and Nexus 7. Love the Apple hardware and incredible battery life (especially standby), but don't like the restrictions and closed os. Liking the android os more and more, and the nexus 7 is a great piece of hardware, so good that apple is scared to death. If you want a smaller tablet nexus 7 is a great choice. However, the "old" iPad 3 is still one of the best big tablets on the market. It may be discontinued but it is far from being a dinosaur. I would say buy the nexus 7 and after a month if you find you aren't using you iPad anymore, you can still sell it for a good price.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealDeco:
Im also a recent "shifter" with ipad and iphone being my 2 devices i always carried around with me, as many others im getting of apple, not so much because of feeling limited (all my devices are jailbroken) but because after so many years on little change in their system, it's just plain getting BOORING, so this time i thought i jump the android boat!

WOOHOO! nexus 7!

the first week or so i still carried my ipad with me in my bag, but it stayed there! - in my bag lol, i don't use it anymore, nothing i could do on that i can't do on nexus 7, im also a tech dude (is i was a fairy i would be a tinker fairy), so i enjoyed all the things i could do and CHANGE like i wanted, of course the first thing was to root it and install custom firmware, not because it was needed but because i could :p

for me, the nexus 7 is so much better than ipad, but as i said i also love to tinker with my devices a LOT, for kids on the other hand, i think ipad's are more "safe" and easy to use.

the only 2 (well 3) things i noticed from the beginning, and got a little disappointed about is battery life and no microphone pins in the audio jack (can't use a microphone in iphone headset), but disabling the wifi when sleeping made a huge change in that department, and the microphone problem i solved using a BT dongle that has microphone it it, and normal audio jack for any headset (Jabra Clipper), 3rd thing would be the fact that there's no way of expanding the internal storage, but i survive with having lots of cloud services + a usb otg cable with a 32gb memory stick in ;)

but as others here also say, you have to try and make your own discovery and judgement, this is just my experience, i love it and im never going back, already dreaming of replacing my iphone with nexux 4

and by the way, my first task with the nexus was to be able to do anything i did with the ipad, and i succeeded! + a lot more :)

hope it helped a little, but go try it, you will never let it leave your hands again ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarman94:
I'm in this boat as well. It's a hard decision a the moment because every phone has a down side! Manufacturers could make perfect phones but then they wouldn't be able to sell new ones! I'm stuck between this and the One X. The one x has a better camera, screen and audio and 32gb storage the only thing that puts me off is the tegra 3 not thinking it's that great. On the other hand the nexus 4 has lots of problems and those stupid on screen soft keys would drive me nuts especially considering they don't go away in any games. Man it's a hard decision. May I add that the One X is only £80 more expensive and it seems to be getting better with every update.

I have had mine since last Thursday, and if I dropped it today and it exploded in to a pile of dust and my insurance gave me enough money to buy any phone I wanted... I'd still pick another Nexus 4.

The S3 it replaced on Jelly Bean was fast, but the Nexus 4 put's it to shame, the only thing it doesn't do as well is the camera, but that's about the least important thing on my list of things I look for, and the Nexus 4 ticks everything else.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguitarman94:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpqpqp:
I think its worth the buy and this is my own personal reason why (already bought it and owned it). If you go with either HTC One X or Samsung SIII you have the benefit of having the abundant of offline storage, their own personalize software (Sense or Touchwiz), and all the little feature that google cut out to maintain cost. If you go with the Nexus 4 you get teh benefit of having google support the software/update on your phone until it can't run it no more. You don't get that from HTC or Samsung. Even their flagship phones support and updates cut off ater 1 years MAX. Sometimes its even less than one year as they are already prepare to lauch a new flagship device. Seeing as how the One X and the S III already been out for a while now I think they will probably cut off in about 5 months or so. If you order it directly from google then its even better cause its almost 1/2 the price.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llblwskydrgn:
You should try it out before you buy, when you get the chance that is. I upgraded from a Samsung Vibrant, so this new phone was like an epiphany. It's very fast, smooth, and a nice device. It's also my first official Google Nexus device and I'm loving having JB 4.2. In the end it's you that's going to purchase the device. Make a list of what features you want and need, and then go down the list or let others know. Otherwise, everybody can say whatever they want about buying or not buying a device.

In my case BUY BUY BUY! :)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rundgong:
When I try to update the N7 to 4.2 using adb sideload it fails at the "Verifying current system..." stage.

I get this:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX: ... ")

From searching the threads I figured out LNX is the boot.img

I got the device today and have not tampered with it in any way. No unlock, no root, only installed a couple of apps from the play store.

I first tried the OTA update which failed and after reboot it came back 4.1.2.

Then I tried fastboot + adb sideload, where I got the above error message. I assume the same error is what causes the OTA update to fail.

I can not see any reason why the LNX device would have been changed by anything I did.

Is this a sign that the LNX device is broken?

Or is it safe to just flash the full 4.2 factory image?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rundgong:
I solved the problem.

I'm not sure why the boot image did not have a proper checksum, but flashing the original 4.1.2 boot image from googles factory image fixed it.

After that the upgrade to 4.2 worked.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelaso_mx:
How do I do that?

I think I have a similar problem and I would like to know how to flash the original 4.1.2 boot image from google's factory image.

Problem: Trying to update my Nexus 7 looks like there is something wrong with this:

...

verifying current system...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/LNX:..............")

Installation aborted.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rundgong:
Download the factory image for 4.1.2 from here:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Extract the archives and you find boot.img inside.

You then flash the boot.img using fastboot.

You also need to unlock the bootloader if you didn't already do that.

After that you should be able to upgrade it.

There are other threads that will teach you how to do both flashing and unlocking.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayOui:
I had the same exact problem as miguelaso_mx. I would recommend to use the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit as it makes the steps to fix this a breeze.

1) Install Toolkit

2) Run Toolkit

3) Put device in fastboot (Power + Volume Down)

4) Unlock bootloader

5) Download and flash factory image

6) Put device back in fastboot after reboot

7) lock bootloader

Your device is now ready for OTA updates.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzl:
I have this exact problem, and will definitely try this out, thanks.

Will just flashing the boot image, delete any data? I mean, if it is just the boot image, I guess i don't have to flash the entire factory image(s) right?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] US Marine:
So Verizon just pushed an update to their Messages app, which was a great replacement for the stock messaging app for several reasons. Unfortunately, all of the color customization options and popup notifications have been removed. I have no idea why they would do that, but it's terrible! I'll still use it though because it handles MMS group texts (with iPhone users) very well, unlike the stock app.

Anyone else use this? Anyone else bummed out by the latest update/regression? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1xmattx1:
I would install it when I got group messages but i'd uninstall after.

The notifications/pop-ups can be turned off but the default notifications won't appear. It's nice and I wish other SMS apps/CM10 could handle or implement the group feature so I wouldn't have to download this app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] US Marine:
The pop-ups have been completely removed in the latest update, which was one of the major reasons to use the app!

I use group text a lot. I just got this GS3, so I'm still feeling it out. On my last phone (GS1), I used GoSMS Pro, which worked great except that I would get two notifications every time I got a group text. Once for recieving the text, and then another once GoSMS realized it's a group text and moved it into a group thread. That was annoying!
