But for the rest of us security isn't a huge concern and would rather be able to use it while screen is off. We should have the option and choose what works for us. Don't treat people like idiots and block functionality because they may not understand the repercussions of turning on that functionality.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Then I hope you don't use Google wallet.

Some one some where will find a way to get your wallet info if you enable screen off nfc. I think this is why you have to have screen on and the phone unlocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
again, while I agree to a point, think about ATM card skimmers. Now think about someone putting/hiding a NFC tag in/near a surface that you might put your phone on. like a table in a cafe. or a counter where you purchase goods. or even inside a NFC payments system reader in a store (exactly like a card skimmer). if there is money/data to be stolen, someone will figure out how to.

EDIT: btw, the guy I made fun of earlier can laugh right back at me. ;) went and got some tags yesterday, when I returned my note, impulse buy. still can't think of a real good use for them, but should be fun to play with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
But isn't that true even if the nfc doesn't work with the screen off? Couldn't they figure out a way to activate yr anyway if they really wanted?

I see both of your points, it's just frustrating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
I have ZERO concern over NFC security. folks come now. the SECURITY of NFC is in its limited range. it works what? 1 inch? 1.5 inches at best?

you CAN'T put an NFC tag under a counter or table. its too thick (go ahead and try it) if your CLOSE enough to use an NFC tag to hack my phone this means YOU HAVE my phone and if you really think your password can stop me when I have physical possession of your phone your deluding yourself.

worst case I will boot into recovery nandroid your phone and have my way with your data any which way I want.

google wallet? if they are close enough to use NFC for this they are close enough that they HAVE your phone and can simply "USE" your google wallet anyway.

we are not talking bluetooth here that can work from 30ft away using a $2 dongle and a pringles can.

we are talking around ONE INCH.

its so short and so weak it WONT WORK if you lay your phone face down right on top of a tag.

the range is SO SHORT that is you TOUCH a tag with either "END" of your phone face up it still wont work. you actually have to kind of center the tag over that SECTION of the phone with the antennae.

THAT is the security.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
I wouldn't worry about tables or that other stuff. But I often go to concerts and am bumping the person next to me. They would be close enough to do nfc. I also keep my phone in my left pocket, she most people do in there right, making it even easier for them.

I'm not saying it's easy, but it's not impossible. I would rather unlock my phone to use nfc.

It could also waste battery (not that this phone really had to worry about it) with nfc always being active.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
I want you to put your phone in your pocket

now have a stranger PRECISELY hold an NFC emitter within 1 inch of your phone AND HOLD IT THEIR (they don't read instantly) you need to hold it their for around 102 seconds.

now tell me your not going to go "ahh what are you doing?" as they do this.

you guys really need to USE this stuff before talking about these security issues THEY ARE NON EXISTANT and "EASILY" solved

don't make any "root" or "financial" changes without preauthorization or unlocking the phone.

there. easy. plus googlewallet is pin based for transactions is it not? (never used it) ie you tap and them punch in a pin ?

I noticed no measurable change in battery life on the S3 with nfc screen off enabled. nfc is extremely low power almost none when no tag is present.

and if you STILL have a fantasy about a security issue here is an easy one for you

ahhhhhhhhh don't install the mod ? wow that was easy :) hehe (ooozing sarcasm to be funny here)

except for some posters in the mall for a free song NFC without screen off ability is virtually useless to me. period.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
I must agree, people always think the worst will happen to them....if that were the case, the technology would not have passed all the checks prior to becoming available.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
I have to file these under "cool but useless".

Now if someone could create a little sticker I could put on my car keys so my phone could find them when they are lost, THAT I would buy :)

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Actually this isn't true - lots of CRAP technology passes committee - look at Windows 8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Ya, but the technology passed with the intention of not working unless your phone was unlocked so you knew what it was doing. That's all I'm trying to say.

I know the range of tags, I bought a set of 10 from Amazon. I'm not making everything up, I know you have to be close.

Imo I would rather not be lazy and turn my screen on to transfer stuff. Its not like it's hard to turn your phone on. I'm by no means someone to worries, I'm just saying is possible, but not likely.

You know if it happens to half the users, they will blame the dev. People on here complain that sammy didn't make a drop proof phone. Some people just can't handle the responsibility of whet they do, and I could see nfc always on having the potential to create more of that.

Back on topic, I need to use my tags more lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
the problem I have is that it ruins any "point" for many user actions.

use my washing machine timers for example. having to turn on the phone and unlock completely defeats the point of such a convenient concept. the reason is simple. by the time I turn on the phone and unlock it I just did 95% of all the work to just set the darned timer myself. I only need to press ONE more button my google button and speak the words set time 70 for minutes and its done.

why even bother with the NFC tag at that point? the NFC tag screen off is so stinking fast and easy it just becomes habit. it becomes "transparent"

and your issues are solved by simply limiting the "kinds" of tasks that can be performed screen off.

as a side note NFC keeps turning off on my Note II for some reason. ALL the time I have to go turn it back on. it never turns off on the S3. very annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
Well if you have to turn on nfc then you could have just done the task yourself :p

But my tags aren't just 1 task like that. 1 tap of the one in my car turns brightness to 30%, wifi off, gps off, bt on, open my music app of choice. Considering I need to choose my music of choice anyways, having it do this screen off would be pointless.

Tap it again, and gps turns on, closes music, turns off bt, brightness 100%, and opens navigation. Again I need to put in the address so screen needs to be on anyways.

So for me, I need the screen on anyways. You don't, and you don't use Google wallet. Everyone has different uses with different requirements, so because it's not useful for you to have the screen on, it if for me and I prefer it that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
except that you argue against what I want when to get what you want all you have to do is NOT INSTALL the mod. so why argue against it ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
You took a security risk and interpreted it as a poor technology. Windows 8 is not a security risk. So, with that said...if you let someone so close to you that they have the ability to take your Cc info, then you have problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelav456:
I know I'm the one who asked for nfc with the screen off but just to play devil's advocate on this whole standing close enough to someone to get a scan of your phone debate...people are practically sardines during rush hour in the NYC subways here. Wouldn't be even a little weird to be that close to someone during rush hour on the 1.

With that said, I would still want the opp option...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fryingpan0613:
I'm not arguing that the mod shouldn't be available, I know I don't have to flash anything I don't want to. This started because I pointed out the potential of that being a security issue if you use Google wallet.

I never said the mod shouldn't be done, I'm just saying there are plenty of users who would be quick to blame the dev who created it if something negative happened. I personally wouldn't release something like that even if I had it working, because even with warnings people are quick to point fingers.

If you want an example, look at the I cracked my screen threads, why did sammy make it weak? And the great omg my phone has a scratch I thought it was scratch proof, sammy you lied threads.

The users of this phone are very demanding and want the world. Go read a few pages of Joshs jelly bomb thread and you will see what I mean. It's discouraging to someone like my self who is trying to make a themed rom, knowing every other post will ask for a stock version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MDoddio73:
I concur...

I use them in 4 places (and I only have 5, thinking of getting more):

1.) On my work laptop (Silences my ringer, connects to my Company's WiFi, enables Bluetooth and pairs to my Jawbone, Launches MS Lync), Turns off GPS.

2.) On my Laptop Bag for when I leave the office: Disables everything above, turns on GPS, Turns on Ringer, Sends an SMS to my Wife telling her I'm leaving and what should we pick up at the Store for dinner-- Though she's a little tired of those messages. Thinking of re-programming.

3.) On my Govt Laptop, turns on my Tethering Hotspot and all of the functionality of #1 except for the WiFi.

4.) On my charging station on my night stand. Turns off everything except my alarm. (I have the Tasker App that turns stuff back on in the morning).

I'll put one in my wife's car once we get the dashboard stand. Launch Pandora, turn on GPS, Bluetooth, etc.

Thing about TecTiles (or any NFC) is that they're constantly being implemented for other uses. It's a new technology and they'll improve in time to handle all sorts of things.

Think about going to an amusement park, tapping one of those guys and getting a map of the park downloaded to your phone. Tap on the way out, and it's uninstalled.

Or a coffee shop, where you can not only pay for your coffee, but check-in on the 4 Square, get the WiFi connected, silence your phone and open you Chrome to their website for daily specials.

Libraries will let you check-out books by tapping you phone to their NFC tags

Deli's will give you a number

Tap your phone at the front desk of a Hotel to check-in

Tap your phone to a Front desk at a restaurant to get in queue for a table

etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
For #4, look into NFC TagWriter, does "switching", might make that easier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] deerkiller11:
Fryingpan said it, anyone can choose to install the mod if they want it.

The security issue is this: when nfc technology came out it was on credit cards. The credit card companies soon learned that peoples cards could be scanned while in a crowded store or subway or bus, now people have to put thier cc in a metal wallet to prevent the ID/credit card theft. Since there are cases with credit cards there will be with phones, thats one of the reasons. people in general just dont know enough about the security issues and/or don't care enough. Google or Samsung dont want to be sued and yes someone would sue them for their own stupidity.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hollywoodfrodo:
Samsung's TecTile app kinda sucks. I mean it's not horrible, but there are better apps out there. You also don't have to use Samsung's TecTiles. You can use any Mifare Classic 1K Tags with the TecTile app and you can use those or NTAG203 tags with other apps.

On our site, we keep a list of recommended NFC Apps - here's the link: http://www.andytags.com/nfc-apps.html

Check out our nfc stickers/tags too - way cooler than tectiles. :)

Hey, the tiles were free with the care package. I found use for two tiles. One for getting into the car and the other when I walk into the house. I'm glad I didn't pay for them. It is a very neat idea.

So last night I decided to root my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II and used this thread as a guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. All worked fine in the end, no problems. So today I decide I want CM10. So in the guide to install CM10 I am instructed to use CWM to do the actual installing part. Well, I have used ROM Manager and a plethora of alternative methods. Not a single of them work. Every time I try to boot into CWM I get this menu titled:

Android system recovery <3e>

, not the CWM one. Even the actual ROM Manager app says I have CWM installed properly. I would appreciate any help.

Also note this is my first Android device I've ever owned, and am a total noob to the entire rooting community.

Hi guys i been thinking about posting for a time and i finally decided to do it so i would like to know if any of you can help us and sorry if my english is not really good. So some background, my daughter is 6 and has epilepsy she can't walk, talk or even eat by herself, it is a looong history and i would love to share it with anyone interested in it but for the sake of the forum i will keep my post short.

Anyway, her sickness is hard to control, as the 4 years since she started with it there has been no medicine in the market able to control her seizures and she has from 5 to 10 a day. We live in Mexico and all the doctors we have access to have said the same that the only thing we could do about it is to give her some quality of life for as long as she is with us and unfortunately we are unable to do a lot more as i am unemployed cause i have to take care of her and my wife has to work cause she has the medical insurance so it is hard to try for something better as our expenses aren't small and we are unable to get any help from the government for some political situations and because there's really non they can offer.

So all i am asking is if any of you can help us to get in touch or knows of an international foundation who can help us give her a better life.

Thank you if you read my post and hope everyone gets a nice holidays.
