Would you be opposed to posting the SMS Plugin APK somewhere? Or for private downloading? I've been using it on my Galaxy Nexus and so far so good. I have a messaging app on my Nexus 7 and wanted to see if the SMS feature would work on it as well. However, the Play Store won't let a Nexus 7 download it.

I understand if there are limitations to the app where it can't be installed on a tablet device. Can't hurt to ask. ;)

[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
Maybe :) Prior to this release all data was encoded on the tags themselves *always*. It still is if there is sufficient space. Portability between devices has been the model since day one. It's something we can discuss though.
[Android Apps and Games] abejoker:
Hey, I have programmed a tag to check in at foursquare but when I use it, it opens NFC task launcher instead of FS, why? If anyone uses it, it opens NFC, not the check-in.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
NFC Task Launcher uses Foursquare's API to check you in in the background (it will need to do a one time authorization).
[Android Apps and Games] matthewchng:
Not sure if I'm the only one but the switch mode sometimes takes forever to complete the 3-5 specified actions upon activation. Just before the last update, the actions complete within 2 seconds or less but now, it can take up to a minute or more. Even Android prompts up to 2 times for whether to kill the non responding NFCTL and I had to select wait each time. Since the root access toast message appear just when the actions are executed, it suggests that the waiting time is just the application trying to figure out what are to be executed. My guess is that it might be that the caching/syncing/downloading is bugged and my phone is downloading the actions from server every time instead of just once. The server may also be overloaded or slow to respond so it takes forever to re-download the actions to be performed on every scan of the tag.

Switching action 1

- Enable desktop dock

- Disable vibration during ring

- Disable lock screen

Switching action 2

- Disable desktop dock

- Disable auto rotate

- Enable vibration during ring

- Enable lock screen

- Close applciation (Navigation)
[Android Apps and Games] dpeeps74:
On my old phone I had similar issues with another app and thought that because the toast messages were coming slow that it must be a problem with the app. I then decided to disable the toast messages and found that they were actually the source of the lag. It may be something to try with troubleshooting your issue.

[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
It's not a query issue. If you wrote the tag and the entire message fits on the tag it's written to the tag. If it doesn't it's cached locally. There's no query. If you didn't write the tag and it's a tag that had to be pushed to the cloud you do a one time query and then cache the instruction set. Subsequent attempts to execute that tag use the cached payload. Unless you ended up with an unwritable database (in which case tags wouldn't save either when you created them) there's no reason it would re-query on every scan.

Enable debugging in the app, scan the tag and send me the generated log.
[Android Apps and Games] matthewchng:
I was using a read only tag. In any case, just did another test without even using a tag. Used the widget to switch between the 2 available modes. Put phone in Airplane mode but still get that long delay issue so that rules out server issues. The actions were executed successfully as long as I keep selecting "wait" when Android prompt to kill NFCTL multiple times. What can I do that can provide you with the info to track down the root of the problem?

That was 4 minutes. Not 4 seconds... 10:02pm started but finished at 10:06pm. Email to my username @gmail.com.
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
Reading is a key skill :) ANR's should pop after 5 seconds of an unresponsive UI thread.

Are you getting the prompt for root access?
[Android Apps and Games] matthewchng:
Already granted and saved before so no more prompt. But I do get the Android prompt asking if I want to kill an unresponsive process to which I just kept selecting wait. . Let me get a screen capture of the prompt.

The action will eventually be completed given enough time.

I believe that you can program everything in Tasker, and then trigger it with a simple "run task" tag. What you need are the intents, which you probably can get from Brandall. And maybe this will help http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2489449

Wait say 10 seconds for the Wifi Tether to start or stop, whaever the case is

If there is no Wifi Tether active, turn back on Wifi, otherwise do nothing

Since there is no way in Tasker to check the state of Wifi Tether, I can't seem to do this...

I'm not sure, but it seems like you could set up an exit task, or, just an additional action, that turns on wifi when the tether toggles off. But, I got a headache in the middle of reading it, so, maybe not.

A long time back there were issues with enabling LED Notifications via Trigger when using Samsung Galaxy phones due to the fact that Samsung don't just use the regular Android on/off system, but include various optional settings too (so either Enable or Disable commands would in fact turn the LED notifications off).

This issue went away ages ago, but for some reason I'm seeing it again now. Can anyone remember if something special needed to be done to fix the problem at the time?

FYI, last night I did a backup, uninstalled/reinstalled the Trigger app, and then restored my tasks again... and LED notification enable/disable is working fine again now. How strange!

I've bought some NFC tags and have used this to write them. Would anyone using the tags need this app installed to use them or will they work for everyone?
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
They will need the app as there is no native way of doing these things. The first time they tap the tag though it should take them to the play store to download the app quickly if they don't have it installed.
[Android Apps and Games] sabret00the:
Damn! I was hoping that any NFC enabled phone could simply read the tags and perform the tasks. It would appear NFC is still a way away from being truly useful. If it's like this everyone will end up with 50 different NFC apps.

Thanks for your great app :)

I have 4.2 DeskClock on CM10 which doesn't have yet option in general app settings to disable vibration during alarm, it's only in individual alarm settings, but this doesn't help if I use tag for turn my phone in AP mode, turn wifi on and set alarm. Vibration is always on :/:/:/ so I have to go in DeskClock app and manually turn vibration off. :/ it's no point for me to use nfc for this task..... :/

I hope I was somehow understandable with my funny English :) Oh yes, is this possible to put option when creating tags for alarm to choose vibration on/off and also tag for disabling alarm if I have 2 way tags. One turn alarm on, second tag turns alarm off :)
[Android Apps and Games] KlaverBoer:
First of all this app is really great.

But after today i have one problem with closing apps. I'm running Task Launcher on a rooted Galaxy S3.

When i read a tag:

- it enables bluetooth

- it enables GPS

- it starts an application (doesn't matter what app)

When i read the same tag for the second time:

- it disables bluetooth

- it disables GPS

- and it should force close the app. It worked fine but not anymore.

I allready reinstalled NFC Task launcher, but that didn't do the job. The app remains running.

I think this happened after the installation of the update.

Does anyone have the same problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Adaptive13:
This whole concept is really exciting! I just ordered some tags and cant wait for them to get here. After reading the forums, I have a question on how to use a tag to make different devices do different things. For example, a tag in the car should tell my phone to do one set of things while telling my tablet to to do another thing, Another good example is tethering. Clicking the tethering tag should tell the phone to enable the hotspot and tell the tablet to connect to SSID <hotspot>.

Another example is a tag on entry to the house. I imagine that I will want my phone to do different things than my wifes phone.

Is this supported in this app? I am thinking it is not and that the solution is to use tasker to handle a variable so that it can do different things on different devices. Can someone confirm this and maybe point me to some examples or documentation on how to do this?

Thanks so much!

Would it be possible to implement a mode, where all action-related-data is saved on the phone and the actions will be triggered by a non-writeable NFC card - like my company card? So the action will be fired based on the ID of the NFC tag/card.

The app AnyTAG NFC Launcher has such a feature, but this one is better and when you have 2 NFC apps installed, a popup comes when you put a NFC tag to the phone..
[Android Apps and Games] krohnjw:
It already does this for tags that are not writeable or when the message is too late for the tag.
[Android Apps and Games] thE_29:
Well i never finished the steps with my company card, but you are right, it already works :D

But just for "safety" reasons, it would be good, if you can always choose "no save on tag", because it would be stupid if there is no writelock on some company/access-cards and then you have overwritten it with Android-Actions.. (but dunno if this really ever happens - i am not a NFC pro :D)

So when i force close a GPS-using app and leave the GPS enabled. The app closes.

When i force close a GPS-using app with the GPS disable feature on, the Location Settings screen appears and the app remains active.

I think the disabling of the GPS is running to fast, so its disabled before the app is closed. And the app opens the Location Settings screen to enable the GPS again.

Is it possible to disable the GPS with a timeout. A view versions before it all worked fine.

You can add a pause between actions of user defined length. It's under applications and shortcuts. There is no inherent delay after modifying GPS settings.

I have added a pause of 10 secondsbetween the Closing of the app and the disabling of the GPS. That also didn't do the job.
