I want to buy NFC tags. Help please

Since our phones have NFC, I want to buy NFC tags. I'm on www.buynfctags.com. They list 2 types of tags ULC and 1K what is the difference and which one can we use with our phone?
Thanks

I am under the impression that both will work and it just has to do with how much data you are looking to write to them.

I bought some from here and they arrived quickly and work great. I am on the Alien 6 ROm so I get to use all the goodness that NFC is.

I bought 5 tags off of ebay a few weeks ago. You don't need the 1k tags if you're using a program like NFC Task Launcher as it's programmed on the phone what to do if it scans a certain tag.
I have mine set up for car, home and work profiles and it works great.

anyone ever use these nfc tags?

They are designed to work with the version of nfc in the s4. I've never used nfc tags before with any of my phones but the concept seems useful especially since i always use different settings at home and at work.
Also, what else can you do with nfc tags besides just changing phone settings?

I have the circle version which were not supposed to work on the Nexus 4 even though they did fine... I still have the keychain on my keys
They don't work on the S4 and considering that the existing tectiles from Samsung wont work those probably will not work either

they specifically advertise this model as working with the new nfc model

These are NTAG203 tags and should work perfectly fine with your S4.

I just received my NTAG203 tags from tagsfordroid. they work great w/ the s4

i just ordered mine directly from tagsfordroid site, way cheaper than the Samsung branded ones. I actually only see one practical use for me; in the car to turn on bluetooth, and my music app. But i am sure i will think of more uses.

Why does the Nexus 5 does not have an infrared blaster?

First of all:
I know - the Nexus 5 is meant to be inexpensive and for development.
But that's the point. Controlling your TV or other IR-controlled devices is an awesome feature. (Come on, who does not have a TV or similar at home?)
I even would say that IR is more important than the NFC feature but that's different in everyone's opinion.
Why do you guys think Google did not take the step. REALLY COST reasons? Or because they think, that it is not needed by enough people - which IMHO is nonsense since there are more people with TVs than people with NFC-tags or people using them.
I'm really interested in your guys' opinions!

IR blasters come and go out of fashion...
my 2006 Windows Mobile devices had IR blasters
then android/iphone came in, IR blasters went out of fashion till roughly 2013?
I'm fine with them cutting cost by excluding IR blaster
NFC = for remote payment, if google think that's more important(google wallet) for their long term strategy

'Cause it's naff?...

I agree completely, NFC for mobile payment is much more important for Google. Besides, if you have a Chromecast you won't miss IR blasters

When I had my SG4, I used the IR feature once.
It really was easier to just use a remote.

Payment is in many countries - like Austria, where I live - simply not possible...very unfortunate though.
Still I believe that infrared has its point. TVs are IR-controlled nearly since their invention.^^ How are the odds, that remote controls come out of fashion the next 10 years?

I use Xbox One app for coming my TV.

Y'know, I thought that the IR blaster on my GS4 was awesome until I realized that I never, ever used it.
That said, there have been 1 or 2 times that my kids have done something with the remote and I wished my N5 had one. Oh well - not a dealbreaker by any means.

Google probably has to give up some things in order for LG to agree to build the phone. For example, LG G2 has an IR blaster. LG doesn't want the Nexus 5 to "be better" than their own flagship, the G2.
That's one interpretation of it. Whether it makes sense for just the IR blaster here, I don't know. But the OEM that Google cooperates with to build their yearly Nexus does not want the Nexus to be better than their own flagship, I am very sure of that.

Cheap NFC reader/writer - pad/phone

I need something portable to duplicate mifare classic NFC tags and was thinking I might as well get a cheap Android phone or tab.
Any recommendations to hardware? Any recommendations for software?
Thanks ?

Pictures:

I have Verizon FiOS, a Sony Smart TV and a Yamaha Sound Bar and all of them have a dedicated remote app that works over my home WIFI. So I really have no use to it a built-in IR blaster, cute little adapter though.

Nice, where can I purchase one at? Amazon link? Anywhere in the US we can purchase from?

Thanks for confirmation.
Mine hasn't arrived yet. Still in transit with china small packet+.
Glad to hear it's perfect

At £5.xx its worth a go

I would double check the zaza remote app. Don't know if it's foshy or not. I prefer my microprocessor remote over phone WiFi apps or IR blaster on phone. Most of the fun to be had to with built in IR on note4 and V20 was playing pranks at friends houses, especially if they just bought new equipment for the home theater/living room setup. On and off, channel changing, input changes and ghost volume changes. Harder not to laugh uncontrollably. ???

3.5mm jack
Good to know that we can have IR remote on Note 9 N960F, but somebody knows if also works Universal 3.5mm jack IR Infrared Remote Control and not only on usb-c?

Really wonderful
Thank you friend for the recommendation. I bought one for my note 9, and it really worked flawlessly.
You're great, man.

@rastigo @saltoosho2015
very good. I loved this note 4 feature.
I currently have a note 10 plus. Does it work on it? I saw some comments that it doesn't work on Android 10, is it true?
Another question, do you know the name of the default app that came in note 4? he was very good too.
thank you

I got one off Amazon last week. Works great but that zaza app is a pain to figure out at the beginning. You can diy learn codes/button from your original remote as well! Why Samsung took out this feature, I don't know... I mean the phone is big enough to fit one in.

I can safely recommend this seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baseus-Min...Smart-IR-Wireless-Remote-Control/303246570495
I ordered one in March but it didn't arrive on time due to Covid-19 and the seller was really cooperative and sent me another unit and told me when to expect it. Sure enough it arrived within the time they specified and it works great.
