Yeah I dont know how you're doing it.

I have multiple NFC tags but none of them activate the Moto Skip application.

Plus when you go to your lock screen type, there are only the following options:

None

Slide

Face

Patter

PIN

I am quite literally using it with blank tags - GSM dev edition.

You guys aren't using Classic 1K tags are you?

Edit: Apparently NFC unlock doesn't show up out of the box on most devices. It did on mine which is why this was so baffling :)
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
Wow, no NFC listed? Mine was there out of the box (GSM DE). That's where the confusion lies. Sorry about that!
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
was NFC Unlock an option before you used a tag?

What tag types are you using?

I think the devil in the detail here is Dev edition. I'm on carrier edition verizon. maybe NFC unlock is enabled on dev editions without scanning an official skip?

edit: must be the case... want to upload an NFC file? :cowboy:
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
I use NFC tags every day for work and personal use so I couldn't say for sure either way. It's there though and was there before I even ordered a skip (I now have one because keeping laundry tags in my pocket was a pain).

It didn't work on Classic 1K tags (they NFC controller doesn't supports them). NTAG203's worked just fine. I didn't try it with anything else I have around here (Desfire, Topaz, Felica, etc).
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
I'll write a quick app to create a copy of the skip I have here and send it (maybe tonight). You can probably use that to write an NTAG and activate skip unless moto is white listing UUIDs (I don't suspect they are though). PM me an email address.
[Moto X Accessories] lensgrabber:
So I just ordered a X and a skip. Would it be possible to program another NFC tag that is in my car to unlock the phone (pattern lock) and launch a app (Escort Live or Waze)? I'm currently using a tag to run escort live when tapped but I have to unlock the phone first.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
it *might* be possible... im not sure. you'd probably need a tasker to launch the skip app, then launch waze... but i dont think anything but skip will be ready for NFC signal when the device is locked. its worth a shot, but i dont think i'd hold my breath...
[Moto X Accessories] Benchow:
So I've done a quick test.

It was able to write whatever was in your skip to my NTAG203 but it seems like your SkipCreator locks the tag so this tag is now forever a Skip tag. It is no longer detectable by my AnyTag app.

Once I scan the newly created SkipNFCtag, it activates my Motorola Skip app and I am able to register this tag as a Skip tag that unlocks my phone. The NFC tag also is able to be detected with screen off.

I've only registered the one tag but I still cannot open the Motorola Skip app at will. I'm thinking that if I want to register another tag, I'll have to write another tag and then scan it again.... hopefully then I can register that 2nd tag. Unfortunately I'm at work right now and I only have one tag with me.

Thanks to krohnjw.

Edit:

Also noticed that sometimes the nfc is not always reading. I'll hover the phone over the tag at the exact spot and nothing will happen. If I screen on and off real quick, it seems to turn the nfc back on and it'll detect like normal again. (I think I've seen this in reviews when the skip first came out). Its fun to play with but I dont think its too reliable atm.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
The app I wrote doesn't make it read-only (you have to explicitly do this). With that said you're not going to be re-write this with the Moto X (the NFC service appears to intercept these tags and not deliver them to apps). You can format it with another device (at which point it will not function as a skip tag any longer) and re-use it.

Where is this skip app? I don't have a skip app at all (I have the official skip tags as well). Managing the skip tags is done through settings -> security -> manage nfc unlock.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
No, skip tags are not dispatched to the system for any other app to pick up. The NFC service currently will not deliver non skip tags to any app with the screen locked either.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
It only scans with the screen off for a limited time before the NFC service shuts down (assuming it was on and you turned it off). Once that happens the NFC service is NOT enabled until you power the screen on. It is not on when active notifications are displayed either.

The official skip "clip' has a magnet in it that appears to be waking the device, allowing the NFC service to start and the screen to turn on and unlock. This behavior does not occur with normal tags obviously.
[Moto X Accessories] Benchow:
Oh you're right. I see that now

So going back to settings...-> security..-> screen lock... the options are now

None

Slide

NFC Unlock

Face Unlock

Patter

Pin

Password

Underneath that I now have a new option as krohnjw mentioned called Manage NFC Unlock.

Oh I didnt know that about the re-write. Ok I'll find a friends phone and try to re-write it.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
Yep, I can read the tags and erase via my nexus 10... But not on the moto x.

The tags work quickly and flawlessly if I'm on the lock screen.... Screen off it only worked once. I've seen videos where the official skip seems to work even when the screen is off. Any ideas? I thought maybe an onboard magnetometer looks for a magnet to enable NFC in screen off, but I tried using a magnet behind my tag, and got nothing

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

I thought the magnet may wake NFC too, but I can't seem to get that to work.... I'm using a refrigerator magnet, maybe it should be stronger
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
It's definitely using a magnet. If I place it below the moto M on the back it seems to catch it. It sticks to the rear of the device though - it will lift off of the desk from about half an inch up. The magnet on this thing isn't small though so it may require some more precision with a different magnet. If I use the other side (the back) I get no response at all. Perhaps it's a location / polarity issue.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
I'm willing to bed its a strength issue. Is the back part of the clip metal or is it a magnet?
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
Both sides are magnetic.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
Using just the "rear" magnetic side I can make it work with a regular skip tag.

The magnet allows the NFC service to turn on for ~5s (you can see this in the logcat output, it turns off automatically after ~5s).

Placing the magnet below the M logo and the tag on or above seems to do the trick just fine. So, in theory if you can find a strong enough magnet you should be fine.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
Perfect. Rare earth magnets are fairly cheap, I may buy some and experiment.

FYI, you can program mifare classic tags. I started toying around with what stickers I had laying around, and had success. They're fairly large in size, so what I'm hoping to do is stick them on the underside of my night stand... And use a couple of theme to get good coverage.I determine that, if the phone is over a skip, and you swipe an active notification, it will then pass through the pin screen.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
Yeah, any writable tag should work. Classic 1k's don't as they aren't supported by the NFC controller, but I don't see any reason that others would not.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
That's what I'm saying... I was able to write and read classic 1k's. My nexus 10 hates them, but I knew they weren't supported. However moto x took it.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
Yeah, scratch that. It looks like the moto x isn't using the broadcom controller (I don't imagine they added support for them to an existing NFC stack). Reading and writing 1k tags just fine it seems.
[Moto X Accessories] jrob007:
Is the app for writing skip tags available? I would like to play some existing tags I have. Thanks.

Ugh. Sorry. Found it.
[Moto X Accessories] sweetbaboo:
does this have to be NTAG203 or do 1k tags work too?

nevermind, just saw that 1k works fine
[Moto X Accessories] danny39:
Mine should be coming today, can the Motorola skip dots be used as regular NFC tags as well?
[Moto X Accessories] ebourlet:
So is the verdict I have to have a Skip to be able top write non Skip tags? Have you guys written a special app to use non skip tags with the skip unlock?
[Moto X Accessories] nexicon:
Does the skip no longer come with the moto x? Was it promotional?
[Moto X Accessories] Derbyman32:
I am pretty sure it does not come with skip. I have 4 phones in my family and none came with it. We did buy one official skip and got it yesterday. Sorta hit and miss when I scan over it. The dots don't work as well as the magnet skip you wear, at least for me.
[Moto X Accessories] dokukinoko:
The Moto Skip came as a free bonus in November (and perhaps prior?), when MotoMaker became available on all carriers, but it was for a limited time and before the Cyber Monday deal occurred. It was auto-magically added to your cart when after you customized a Moto X; the color was programmed to be the same as the accent color chosen on your X.
[Moto X Accessories] ebourlet:
After searching several NFC sites that list phone compatability that say that the X and Droid Maxx do not work with 1K tags. I see that you guys say it will. Can you please post a list of tags that you have proven work with the X,Ultra,Maxx? Your post have me interested in orderining tags. Also to use the moto skip unlock feature do I have to have a moto skip in order to use other NFC tags with the NFC unlock feature? Thanks I appreciate your sharing.
[Moto X Accessories] Mr_Matt:
NFC Unlock working day 1 out of the box with TagsforDroid MIFARE 1K on VZW Moto X. Specifically the 10 pack bundle w/ keychain from Amazon i bought a year ago for my old GNex. Never had an official "skip" just turned on NFC Unlock in security and started adding tags.

Unformatted/Blank tags didn't worked, they had to be formatted first before they'd be recognized. I used Trigger to format them w/ a task, then i could overwrite them as NFC Unlock tags.
[Moto X Accessories] ClowReedd:
I'm using some NFC tags from my previous Sony Xperia SL, and they work great (well, with the screen on, I haven't been able to make them work with the screen off).

My tag had some data in it when I started the Motorola Skip add, but the app itself rewrote the data. No need for an additional app in my case.

Moto X Dev Ed VZW -- losing Skip setup?

I have a Skip set and I use the stickers in my car, on my nightstand, and on my laptop.

I have to, on the average, re-setup the skip tags about every three or four weeks. As I put the phone on the car dock (with the tag) the Moto Skip Setup kicks in (but not all the time), and all the other tags were forgotten. It's as if someone had erased all the Moto Skip data (app / erase all data) but I know I didn't do it...

Any idea what's going on? I do run Xposed and I may have slowed down NFC reads with Amplify, but I thought XDA is a kernel level function and thus not subject to Amplify?

Updated my Nexus 4 to 100% stock Android 4.3 JWR66V factory fresh (no data imported, except the included android backup/restore functionality), and ever since I set up the device, I've been experiencing distortion when leaving the Gallery app.

See this video: http://youtu.be/tEwQJPuc0GM

I factory reset the device after the first time I experienced it but it didn't go away. It doesn't matter if I select photos locally or from my G+ account, almost every time I'm backing out of the app all the way, the graphics distort as if there is an issue with the graphics drivers.

I never had this issue on any of the previous versions of Android on this Nexus 4.... Ideas anyone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
You should download the stock images and reinstall 4.3 through fastboot. Efrant has a great guide in general for returning to stock. If that doesn't fix it, something is wrong.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sh500:
I think i must have the worst luck or else I'm doing something stupidily wrong...

I fried my device when trying to apply the bigstorage hack on ROM version 1.12WWE.

A week later my mate asked me to do the same on his JAM- same thing again- device just totally fried!

I had successfully applied the bigstorage hack on both the above devices with the original T-Mobile Rom (1.01 or something)- this went without a single hitch.

The method I used was using the 'Bigstorage software'

Do i need overwite the first 416 bytes even if im using my own rom and not a downloaded one?

What am I doing wrong?? This has really got me frustrated now.

Any insight as to what I could be doing wrong would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Talents:
Quite a few people have reported to get a totally "dead" magician using the "Make BigStorage" method. The good news is that when they return the machine to the service center, it can be fixed.

This is different from the "stuck at bootloader or splash screen" cases, which can be easily recovered by the user without the need to return it for repair.

It is much more safe to use the "edit two bytes at two locations" method to get BigStorage.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sh500:
Talents- I was guessing that it would be you to reply- much appreciated for that :) . I was/am 99.9% confident that the service centre would get it working again. My frustrastion comes from figuring out what I am doing wrong. I am stumbled even with professional background (IT/PCs!).

So is it just my worst luck- or could I have done something wrong, unknowningly?

As much I want the latest ROM and bigstorage- i dont think i can run that risk again- even with the 'two bytes' method.

P.S. I was using a 128MB SD to perform hack- surely this is enough?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Impossible:
I recently did the bigrom hack, and had the same problem. after the device took the hacked rom, i soft reset, and it stayed on the boot screen for 25 mins.

I re-flashed the original non edited dumped rom to the device and it worked, copied the hacked rom to the card, and tried to flash again....and it worked.

My heart stopped when i just hung on the boot logo originaly.

Imp
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sh500:
Impossible,

From what I can gather the problem that you had is (was) not fatal... when I performed the bigstorage hack the device was TRUELY dead- nothing showing on the screen whatsoever... as Talents has also mentioned.

Anyway I had it sent off to the repair centre and have a brand new JAM back. Performed the 'two bytes' bigstorage method (thanks to Talents) and all is running well :P
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Impossible:
Glad you didnt loose will in the upgrade.

Where abouts did you have to send your dead handset to, how long did it take to get a replacement.

Imp
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sh500:
In the end performing the upgrade was purely for the fact of doing it for the sake of it and frustration.

My original JAM was only about 2 and bit months old so it was still under warranty- returned to the place of purchase- T-mobile centre.

My one took 8 working days for me to get back but my mate's one took only 3 days.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] damo666:
Hello,

I experience same trouble as u all, still wasn't able to get the big storage to work. Let me tell u what I already tried:

Had a good working Dutch Orange M500 device with 1.06 original ROM. Udated it to 1.11 WWE I-mate ROM, no prob. Opend the storagespace with the mksBigStorage method, no problem,had 27MB free.

Updated to latest 1.12 original new Orange ROM via USB-cable method, no problem.

Now I want to open bigstorage on this original Orange 1.12 ROM, and no matter what I try, I cant get it to work.

-Tried yesterday all day, got a backup from CLEAN Orange 1.12 ROM, edited it with mksbigstorage program, no success at all. Got through all the steps, it goes to 100 %, checksum fale, upgrade fail message. Now it is stuck in bootloader mode.

-Edited original clean ROM with "edit two bytes at two locations" method, got through all the steps, it goes to 100 %, checksum fale, upgrade fail message. Again stuck in bootloader mode. Funny thing was that when I edited the rom, I only found 1 location in the ROM to edit, not 2. Went through it with the following query in the Bytes field: 02 00 00 80 00 20.

Maybe this is my mistake? Anyhow:

- got an external reader today, after trying all day yesterday with internal reader. Doesn't seem to make any difference, no matter what method, still no big storage. Did the whole process again, both metods. No luck until now. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???

I'd like to know that too. I have mine for 2 months now and I never had a good time on edge/2g. Lucky me that I live and work where 3g is ok, but sometimes the signal just disappears and I remember that my last phone (a Lumia 800) did work its 2g at those areas. Even at 3g if I turn "use 2g only" it never seems to work.

BTW, I'm still on stock 4.2.2 w/Franco.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoopy1e11:
I'm stock 4.3
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopsuei3:
If I'm reading this (wikipedia entry) correctly, then it sounds like older cell phones were Class B GPRS devices (as this was the network available at the time, and a cheaper option than Class A). I believe Class B means the device can be connected to GSM (voice/SMS) and GPRS(data) services at the same time, but can only use 1 at a time.

Today's devices such as the Nexus 4 are considered Class A devices, whereby they can be connected to GSM and GPRS services at the same time, and use both simultaneously. This is when they are in 2G mode; in 3G+ mode, the 3GPP specs support DTM (reference above).

Here's the GPRS Class details in case your more interested - link to wikipedia

I also made a post recently about the Nexus 4 reverting to the 2G radio pretty quickly when 3G signal was lost, and how the 0.84 radio that comes with stock 4.3 seems to be more robust.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitelight:
I'm on 4.2.2 still stock and unrooted. I just noticed the same thing about a day or two ago when my wife called me.
