I am having difficulty reading a NTAG 215 to open a file. I have NFC Tools Version 6.2 and NFC Tasks installed. I am using an LG G6 running Android 7.0.

I successfully write the tag using the file path: file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/Sample_Tag.txt I have also tried writing the tag using .jpg and .pdf files as well.

If I read the tag in NFC tools, it shows Record 0 with the correct file path. However, if I go to open it, it does nothing. If I read the tag from just the Android home screen, it pops up for me to select the appropriate app associated with the file (ThinkFree Viewer or Drive PDF View); however, if I select either one, it closes and gives the error message "Unfortunately, Tags has stopped."

Am I not using the correct file path? What can I do to troubleshoot?
[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
Hi there,

I have the same problem, it's related to the new content system (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html) from Android Nougat...

Google has not fixed the problem on their own app... (com.google.android.tag), I've already contacted Google about this bug.

I hope they will fix this problem soon...

Have a good day.

Kindest regards.

I successfully emulated an access card that uses ISO 14443-3A with other application (NFC Card Emulator) with a Huawei Honor View 10 (Original EMUI rom). Now that I have a custom ROM I could not emulate it anymore.

I bought your app but when I try to emulate it says that there are no records. What am I doing wrong?

Btw, I was not aware that you had an application that could emulate cards :)
[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
Yes, it's because you need to add a record on your list before be able to emulate it.

But you can't emulate bus, bank, door cards because these sorts of cards are generally read protected for security reasons.

Imagine if everyone could copy and emulate your access cards or your credit cards, It would be very dangerous ;)
[Android Apps and Games] IcipherPT:
How can I add a record? I can read the card

The awkward part was that with the other app I used to read the same card and emulated it lol (not with custom rom anymore)
[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
You can't emulate a card, you can only emulate a standard record (add a record in write tab).

The other app can only emulate UID with root access because you cannot emulate a Mifare Classic content.
[Android Apps and Games] IcipherPT:
Oh I understand now! It's a different approach then...I thought that it emulated the whole card and not an UID.

I used your free app to read nfc tags, didn't notice that you had a pro version..:p

Thanks for the instructions, it goes ok with the time condition. My question is how can I make use of 2 conditions but without an interval of hours.

Example: when the first condition comes out of the house to increase the volumes to the maximum, the 2nd condition when entering the house to set the volumes chosen by me to a lower value.

I tried a lot of variants, but all the time I get my last condition.

Important note

Hi everyone, I've some bad news :(

On October 8, 2018, Google decided to update their policies related to SMS and Call Log permissions.

Obviously, my apps (NFC Tasks and Droid Automation) are also impacted be the new policies...

For example, a lot of users send a direct message by scanning an NFC tag (very useful for some people with sight problems).

I read a lot about it, and followed closely the Tasker case.

https://www.xda-developers.com/tasker-exemption-google-sms-call-log-restriction/

Seems like Google has added a new category to the exception list after the complains of Tasker users.

The new category "Task Automation" was a relief for me, and I thought (naively) that I will get an exception without problems.

I mean, my apps are called NFC TASKS and Droid AUTOMATION, it can't be more clear...

Well, no... Google decided that my apps are not eligible to the exception.

So what ? My community is not big enough ? SMS / Call Log permissions exceptions are arbitrary ?

I've tried to reach Google directly without success, they don't give a f*** about developers...

So what next ?

I've completed the "Permissions Declaration Form" for the third time but I don't have much hope.

I think, the only choice that's remain is now to taking away all features related to this unfair policies...

I will keep you updated if I receive any news from Google.

Otherwise, I'm really sorry, some of features will be removed at the end of the month.

More info : https://www.wakdev.com/en/more/wiki/apps/policies-related-to-sms-call-log-permissions.html

I hope you understand that unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it.

Or maybe creating a standalone version available directly on my website....

Thanks for you support, and thanks to Google! That's a good gift to developers before christmas.

Important note

Hi everyone,

Following the decision of Google to take down the SMS and Call Log permissions (https://wak.li/26w), here is an important update about our apps.

We filled out the related form and contacted the Google Policy team, but so far, we have had only refusals of our different requests for exceptions.

So... here we are, we must remove these permissions of our apps before 9th January.

We are really sorry, and hope you understand that unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it...

Also hope that you will not come down in the comments section to vent your frustration, bad ratings will be not helpful at all ;)

If you want to raise up against Google, you can post here : https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/117486314

But seems like Google don't give a sh** about Android users and developers opinions...

On our side, we always think about our community first, this is why, I've also good news.

For a workaround, we released a standalone version of NFC Tools / NFC Tasks, directly available on our website :

https://www.wakdev.com/en/apps/nfc-tools-se.html

And for users that have already paid NFC Tools - Pro Edition on Google Play, the less that we can do is to offer you a free license key.

You just need to fill the related form by clicking on the link "Already bought NFC Tools - Pro Edition ?".

Please check that all information is correct and be patient, because it's a manual verification.

Having trouble reading/writing FeliCa

I can successfully read a FeliCa card (Konami e-amusement) with my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S and get all the relevant information from it. But when I try to copy a tag, I get a "read error."

I am interested in emulating this FeliCa card information with my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S if possible, and if not, just make a copy of the card using a USB card reader/writer. So, wondering:

1) Can NFC Tools Pro read, then copy, then emulate a FeliCa card?

2) If not, what USB reader/writer would you suggest to purchase and what card/tag stock to use?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
Hi, sorry for my reply delay.

With NFC Tools, you can only emulate standard record (all records in "Write" tab).

It's not possible to emulate door badge, bus cards, ... because this sort of cards are read protected by private keys.

Also, Android generate a random UID when you try to emulate a NFC chip, and some system require a fixed UID.

Here is a video that explain how to emulate NFC records with NFC Tools :

[youtube]op3B9iIuMKg[/youtube]

For the USB reader, I don't know, you must check the datasheet.

I don't have any software related to your needs, you may have to code your own or find something on internet.
[Android Apps and Games] Sc4ryB3ar:
A couple (ok maybe a few) years ago, I bought some NFC tags to play around with. At the time, every app I used made it so NFC commands could only function with it's app. So the person waving their phone over the NFC tag was prompted to download and install said app.... I tried several of them. Does your app allow for writing (and rewriting) to NFC tags, that use native Android commands without having the end user needing to download this (or any other) app?
[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
Hi,

I suggest to read our faq ;)

http://en.faq.nfc.tools/

What's the difference between the “Tasks” and the “Write” tabs?

With the “Write” tab, you can put standard informations onto your NFC tag, so that you can read the tag with another NFC capable device -which doesn't need to run Android, it also works with Windows Phones for example.

The “Tasks” tab require for NFC Tasks to already be installed on your device.

What happens if someone who doesn't have NFC Tasks on their device try?

The NFC tag will automatically redirect to Google Play in order to download NFC Tasks.

Once the app is installed, they'll be able to read the NFC tag and run the tasks.

Why do I need NFC Tasks for my tasks to work?

Yes, you do need another app to run the tasks on your NFC tag. Having the proper permissions, NFC Tasks will run all the tasks recorded on your NFC tag.

NFC Tasks is an extra app whose job is run tasks recorded by NFC Tools.

udp message formatting

I have a question regarding message formatting options. I am trying to send hex using udp. I am trying to send an OSC message using a sticker with the upd option in NFC TOOLS. I can effectively send a message with just text but in this case I need additional formatting options. Can you tell me if hex bytes or binary can be entered in as the udp message and if so how do I signify bytes (for example is it 00-A1-BB or is it 00:A1:BB). I was trying to use a variable and then some of the variable conversion operators such as text to hex but it looks like the converted hex is still sent as text and not as the bytes. I would be fine just sending text except the message requires several 00 (null) bytes and I don't know how to insert them into the text only message. I really enjoy exploring all of the functions you expose in NFC TOOLS and I look forward to learning more about the formatting options available.
[Android Apps and Games] jpilarski:
I found that when using the hex to text conversion, hex is to be entered as follows 01a2c6110001 (as an example this is the conversion for 01 a2 c6 11 00 01 you just remove the spaces). This takes the bytes, including 00 (ascii null) and packages it into text which can be correctly sent using udp and this properly transmits the bytes required to define a particular message. There is a problem however, the converter is improperly converting byte 80 and I need to be able to send hex byte 80 in the udp message. Again if you can please give me some advice on message formatting and how to deal with getting 80 to convert to text it would be very helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
Hi,

I'm sorry but I don't really understand why there is a problem with the byte 0x80.

Maybe this is a reserved value ? Are you sure that you can send bytes with values over 7F ?

Have a great day.

Binary dataset support

Hi,

I use Pro for a long time and and since I've now my own implementation of encryption and signing, could you please let "Pro" users create a single binary dataset with HEX-values in it, to emulate NFC-Tags? Would safe a lot of time, since I can redistribute my developer tags via your software without loosing encryption and signatures for the developers. I would also "enter" this raw Data manually in a profile.json if you don't want to share this feature in the UI due to UX challenges.

Hi,

I’m really not used to NFC and its capability and just started to be curious about it.

I want to get rid as maximum of keys and tokens as I can if my phone can do all the unlocking so I wondered if I can unlock my flat’s doors with it somehow?

I tested by scanning my token with NFC Tools free and it recognize an ISO 14443-3A tag so I wonder how can I save it to the phone to not use the token anymore?

[Android Apps and Games] wakdev:
Hi [MENTION=1717483]Paparasee[/MENTION]

I think you can try to see if those cards are compatible with your device.

You can also check the reuse plugin for incompatible cards.

Hi [MENTION=8776543]Nastrahl[/MENTION]

Sorry but for security reasons, some NFC chips are protected against reads and writes.

Also, the Android system doesn't allow developers to define the UID that is used for emulation.

This UID will be randomly generated by Android.

With NFC Tools, you can only emulate standard records like URL, TEXT, ...
