Hello,
i am new to this forum and hope to post my question in the correct category.
I am looking for an Android Smartphone, which is able to detect NFC Tags on the frontside (display-side) of the device. All devices i tested can detect nfc tags on their back side, but not on the front side?
Does anyone know a device, which can read nfc tags presented on the display?
Background: I would like to use a android smartphone as time tracking device in our small company, where employees should identify themselves with an rfid tag presented on the display side of the smartphone and choose "Go" or "Leave" afterwards.
I hope, that someone can help me and thank you all for your efforts!
Best regards,
Michael

Original Post:
I have an old university ID card that has a mifare classic chip and i think its obviously write-protected. Is it possible to erase this info? and re-write my own?
I'm trying to find a way to auto-launch applications when a certain NFC tag is read. Are there any apps out there that can do this?
I basically want to launch the car home app when I place the phone in the car holder (i'll place the old uni card or some other nfc tag behind the holder)

Hi Grippa,
the admins didn´t gave me access to NFC developer Forum yet. So here is my answer to your post from NXP Launches NFC Tagwriter App for Android 2.3.3
Regarding to Android Nfc Development Mailing List you can access Mifare 4k Tags "only" with Tags or TagWriter from NXP, old Apps from the Android Market doesn´t work anymore.
Maybe we should find out how to access NFC Tags with other Apps than Tags or TagWriter,
then we can develop our own App. -> for example your idea.
If you want to access a read-only Tag, you have to find out, if it is possible to change the MAD Sector.
Just have a look in the Specifikation of the Tag. For NXP MF1k/4k Tag Type there is a diffrent between the values of the Acces Bits in the Mad Sector. Link to NXP MF1k/4k Tag Type Specification -> look for the diffrences between Table 4 and Table 5.
Hopefully this helps you.

Hi guys,
I'm a student who did a project proposal using the Nexus S for my final semester for my BSc, thinking that the APIs involved for my project would be easily accessible in the SDK (lol, from my reading so far... not so).
So now that I'm this far in (having bought a Nexus S and being almost 3 weeks in) I cannot change my topic of my study. Now, before I buy any more equipment, can anyone experienced in the field lend me a helping hand with some information?
A function which I thought would be basic, card emulation, is apparently not available. I had planned to use the Nexus S in card emulation mode -- With the help of a reader (ACR122U was being considered) connected to a PC and a mock POS (point of sales) program, I planned to recognise an individual's phone, and add and subtract data from their "accounts" accordingly.
So - since card emulation is not available, what are my options? I would greatly appreciate any one leading me in the right direction with this before I invest more money and time in this.
Thank you much
Anybody have any expertise in this at all?
Card Emulation IS possible on the Nexus S, since the NFC Chip (NXP PN65) is present!
Inside Secure's Open NFC enables such functionality.
I haven't found any information on real success in this field though.
I understand that this forum is to direct me to a relevant thread or topic to post under. Would appreciate guidance for where to post the following question...
I am looking for a remote desktop solution, like LogMeIn or TeamViewer that doesn't require me to do any detailed configuration.
The problem is that LogMeIn, for example, won't treat my Note 3 phone as a tablet, so I can't use the mouse like a normal mouse. (The settings for mouse are "move mouse" and "move screen", but there is no direct mode available for phones to use a mouse like a regular mouse.)
My device is an Android 4.4 KitKat Samsung Note 3 phone (unfortunately rooting is not an option for me), and I am using it with the Note 2 dock with an external monitor and wireless usb keyboard/mouse. Everything works great except I can't find a good remote desktop solution that will allow me to work "normally" in terms of the mouse.
I also have Win 8 Home version and do not want to configure port forwarding and a fixed ip to solve rotating external IP address assignments. (Please excuse me if I didn't say that correctly, but I really don't want to deal with those kinds of complexities.) Yes, I realize that I may have too many constraints - no configuration challenges (which I think rules out VNC or standard RDP), and also no rooting of the phone. But I am willing to pay a small monthly subscription, e.g. I looked at PocketCloud with $5/month, but that doesn't seem to support my requirement either from a quick look at the manual.
Is there anyone who can suggest a good solution for my situation?
Hi,
The info that you provided is great, however the Note 3 is divided up on XDA by carrier, so:
If you will type Note 3 in the box above (type to find your device) , select your carrier version, go to that forum's Q & A to post your question, you should be good to go !!
Regards.

Thanks! XDA Assist is a great idea. First time I've ever seen that in a forum.
And I really like your tag line...
To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world.
I seen a video on youtube where someone had an NFC tag that opened his smart lock when he touched it with his n5. Can anyone give me directions or link to where I can find how to do this? Thanks
Could I somehow use tasker to control my revolv automation to open it?
I've seen this video where somebody uses a Samsung Galaxy S4.
I believe it indeed uses Tasker (if you look closely you can see that it is installed on the phone) to trigger (using Locale NFC Plugin) the phone to communicate with a Z-Wave hub such as Vera (with the AutoVera plugin) to unlock the door.
It doesn't look like an equivalent Tasker plugin is available with the Revolv hub and it can't be done directly yet as I've been told that Yale's NFC enabled dead bolt availability has been delayed. As of now I believe you can only purchase dead bolts from the Real Living series with a Z-Wave radio module. Are expected:
ZigBee radios (about to become available)
NFC (2014/12)
Bluetooth Low Energy (Q1 2015)
Once available NFC and BLE enabled dead bolts should work with ASSA ABLOY's Seos Mobile Access system (available on Google play).
Hello,
I'm a non-programmer that hasn't been able to locate an app that is capable of a certain function and I was hoping that the group could help. I was wondering if the accelerometer on most android smart watches would be able to detect a jarring from the opposite hand which would result in a function being triggered? I know that there are some non-smart phone watches that have this capability so figure even if no one has done it yet, it may still be possible with the right programming.
This would be the "base" capability of an app that I'm considering developing.
Thanks,
Dan
