Hello all,
Really want to get into using NFC on my S4 and need to buy some tags - im in the UK.
Firstly can anyone advise on decent tags that can be programmed from the S4 so that I can perform simple tasks such as turn wifi on and off, turn silent mode on and set alarm etc etc.
As you can probably tell I'm very very new to all this NFC stuff
Thanks in advance

AndyTags ships internationally (full disclosure - it's my store). We have stickers & keychains.
Just make sure wherever you buy tags, you get the right tags for the S4 - you want to get NTAG203 tags, Topaz 512 Tags, or other tags that are NFC Type 1 or Type 2. Do NOT buy Mifare Classic Tags - they are cheap and work great with most phones, but are NOT compatible with the Galaxy S4.
You can also check out my site to get ideas for tags and reviews of good NFC Apps from the play store... Have fun!
Thanks andy..you have a great web site.

I had been talking with the developer on this, it is only going to work on jelly bean, falls along the same multiwindow hack from the note 2 on some other threads around here. So upgrade to jelly bean and it will work
I suspected as much I guess ill have to wait. Hopefully no much longer
Moon reader is a great app my favorite ereader and I've tried them all

Hi everyone,
just wanna share this awesome app called AutomateIt
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsIkF1dG9tYXRlSXQubWFpblBhY2thZ2UiXQ..
it can do A LOT of automation like when leave home turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth, vibrate...etc
I really like it. Its like an enhanced version of avatar's weebo app.
Enjoy !
I like the "lost my phone" rule a lot.
You text "lost my phone" to your phone and it sends an sms back to sender with last GPS and network location.
Cool!
You can also get NFC tags and do this too. I am going to buy NFC tags and try it out.

Hey everyone I just wanted to share an app I shared with the htc one crowd called showbox. It has been only available to jail broken iPhones for a long time but they have finally brought it to android. The app itself is like Netflix without a subscription and it gets updated daily with the newest movies and TV shows. Download the apk from show-box.me and check it out definitely the best app out
Oh wow. This app is good. I'm used to these kinds of apps just bringing you to websites with a bunch of malware,but this works great. Good quality too!

There was no link, just had to go to the website listed near the end of the OP. It is a nice app, some good movies are listed on there, if you download it can take time (even on WiFi) but they have been very good quality.
Thanks for sharing...is there any similar app to watch tv channels?

Herein lies the problem folks, these apps are violating copyright laws in most instances...therefore, this thread is closed as XDA does not condone piracy.
Hi all. 2nd day with my N5. NFC doesn't work - its enabled in settings but doesn't pick up any tags that my HTC one x did.
Anyone else else seeing this? Maybe a hardware fault?

It worked for Google wallet the other day, and an Android Beam. Keep in mind there are different types of NFC tags, and they aren't all interchangeable.

The HTC One X compatible with all kind of NFC tags, but the newest devices won't. So you can't use Classic 1k tags with these devices. Try with NTAG 203 type or ultralight tags.
There's the compatible list: (N7 2013 use same NFC chip like N5)

I can confirm that using NFC for beaming ant info works. I've been beaming photos and other app info from my HTC to my one.

Aw crap. My HTC One X would read hotel keys, passports, all sorts. Not that that's all that useful, but it was interesting...
sometimes it works, other times it dosen't.
I cant tell what why!

Isn't that the PRO-version, or don't you want to pay for it and want to install it illegally?
I want to pay for it but it's not the pro version. I just don't know where I can get the pro version from.

What do you mean. Try using device spoofer. And spoof the s5 g900f. Look in attachments at my screenshot. Ot there under a search for matrix ????
Ok, so I didn't realize that in the Samsung store, under ALL...... It doesn't show all the available choices, lol. I found the one I wanted and bought it. It's awesome!

What is the difference between the pro and standard?
The pro version has the date and the time is in 12hrs instead of military time.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Interestingly this app has a bug. The free version was OK, but this one resets itself consistently to the first clock on the list, which is the simplest default clock. Someone should warn the programmer
Don't buy it
Can anyone give me the developers email? I would like to know if they are going to make it avail for the gear s. I had this app for the gear 2.
