sony arc and nfc

i was wondering, since the launch of the official ics for our sony arcs is only around the corner, would there be a way to include the Google beam function into our phones,
Ive read that there is nfc adapters but i don't know if they would work for our devices or of any additional apps may be needed for then to function
http://thesmartsense.com/15701
would be sweet if we could make use of this function
any ideas, im a bit of a noob

I read that there is coming MicroSD cards with NFC... so if the software at some point wil support that, it is possible...

I don't see what's the point of nfc if it's not secure 100%, I saw a tv report about cyber robbery, which someone can steal ur credit card info with a small device hidden in a woman's hand bag or maybe jeans pocket.

That would be great news. Although NFC is still kinda of a gimmick right now, i can see it more widespread. Doesn't Visa Paywave also work with NFC?
I'm still kinda reluctant to use it though, looking at the security issues.

That's good news. I hope to see new sd cards soon, or another way to use nfc with arc

[Q] Use Gnex as ID card

I want to know if its possible to read my contactless work ID card with my phone and then use the phone as my ID by tapping it to the reader.
I don't know if this is even possible and my question isnt about the Nexus as much as it is about My ID card, but if anyone can help me figure out what kind of ID card I have and how that would or wouldnt work with the hardware in the Nexus, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

There is some sort of chip in your ID or is just a bar code you're trying to scan?

Some sort of chip. I tap the card to the reader in the elevator and at the front door to the office.
I don't even need to tap the card directly, I keep the card in my wallet and tap my wallet to the reader and it picks it up fine.
Let me know if I can provide any more info.
Thanks

I can't think of anyway to extract the information from the chip, but you could always cut the chip out and tape it inside the battery door. I wouldn't think anything would interfere with the chip, but I guess would might need to have an undamaged ID card.

Yeah, that wouldn't work, it doubles as a picture ID as well so I would need to keep it undamaged.
I've seen apps that read and store data when tapped with a credit card, so I was hoping someone would be able to provide similar info for how to do it with an ID card. I don't know enough about the different NFC and RFID technologies and what the nexus is capable of. Was hoping someone on here might be able to help.

Check out this thread from a few months ago. People came to the conclusion that it isn't possible.

From what I understand, data that's on most RFID cards is encrypted and the NFC antenna on the Galaxy Nexus (and Nexus S) is not currently capable of interpreting the data. It certainly seems that the possibility is there though seeing as how they usually operate on the 13.56 MHz frequency.

I posted this on another thread, but I think it is worth it here also. HID is beta testing using NFC technology for card access with Blackberry devices. Youtube HID Global Pilot Arizona State. NFC uses 13.56Mhz frequency. The HID iClass readers should work ONCE HID gives the customer the ability to get the software used to tether the phone to your computer and connect to the "secure" part of the Android OS and create a credential. It is coming. Just waiting on HID Global to make it happen.

[Q]NFC App's

Hi there,
Is there any NFC Apps that i can make use of the NFC hardware, i downloaded a few apps from the play store, but it seems like all they do is read the tags. How about replacing my contactless credit card that my phone can read to use my phone as the card?
Any idas guys

Only people I know that are doing it right now are Orange together with Barclays. The One X isn't supported however as you need their special app which isn't loaded on the phone and doesn't appear on the market.
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/contactless/overview
Apart from Orange+Barclays, nobody else seems to be doing it. There are plans for a joint NFC wallet system from Orange + Voda + O2 but nothing has happened yet.
http://www.cio.co.uk/news/3345939/orange-o2-voda-mobile-wallet-nfc-plans-go-to-eu-regulators/

thanks for the info, i thought as much but wasnt sure.

I am using the HTC Amaze, NFC tags from buynfctags.com and the NFC Task Launcher App.
With the NFC Task Launcher App, you can program the tags to do one single task or multiple tasks all on 1 sticker. You might need to get NFC Tags that can store more data (like the NFC tags with the NTAG or 1K chip).*
I've tried creating tags to turn my phone to vibrate and turn off wifi and tags to do the opposite. I even have tags to set my alarms and open up my Facebook App.*

If you want to go a stage further you can combine this with tasker.

NFC Task Launcher seems a great idea.
But if you use tags in public places (say to automatically connect to a secured customer only network at a coffee shop), I can think of numerous potential security issues.

At the moment the only use for NFC tags for this phone is for your own purposes. So you could stick one near your bed...and in your car and things like that to automate daily tasks.
I am sure in the future you will be able to use it to pay in places like Starbucks or McDonalds, but its not quite there yet.
I think there are also plans to embed NFC tags in posters in train stations etc so you can wave your phone at it, and get some publicity on your phone.
I had some Xperia S tags so I tested the One X with them just to make sure NFC was working.

Here is some more info about reading and writing NFC tags. The purposes are endless. So much cool things you can do!

That's interesting. If it's working so well, I don't understand why they didn't just release it with NFC. Now I've been left with a negative view of the application, as well as many other people (check all the reviews on the Play Store). As it is, the application doesn't realistically provide better options than Pingit. Launching with NFC would've made O2 the first company to officially enable NFC payments on a Android phone in the UK, but now that's not so sure.
Speaking of which, are you using the HTC One X to test it? Or the Galaxy Nexus? Also, I'm curious about if O2 are using the embedded secure element or the UICC. Did you have to get a new SIM card for NFC payments to work?
Just to confirm, have you tried paying for items outside of your office, in McDonald's or Greggs for example?

Actually, the future is almost here. Google Wallet works like a charm outside the office/house

Yes, we're aware of that - I've used Google Wallet many times myself. There's no equivalent service in the UK; we were talking about the O2 Wallet.

My bad. I was reading in diagonal

Lol you like glasses? right to read ><'

Some cool ideas:
1) Put a tag in the car mount, match with Tasker to enable Bluetooth for handsfree and disable WiFi without draining battery via location sensing...
Profit!
2) Sew a tag in your jacket pocket. When no tag has been in contact for 10mins consider it stolen and enable Prey
More ideas?

Wallet
Google Wallet is great and with a rooted phone you can definitely use it on almost any device. I have the CDMA (Verizon) Galaxy Nexus and it works just fine. Anywhere they have the quickpass mastercard scanner thing. You see it as a little pad on top of the credit card reader. Anywhere you can scan you credit card without swiping you can use wallet.
You get $10 free from google for using it, the only problem is unless you have a certain mastercard, you have to load up money to a google gift card from another source ahead of time to use wallet.
It's not that big a deal since you can do it from your phone. It has a pin for protection to keep you secure, in case someone scummy enough to steal a phone has the mental capacity to know what google wallet is.
Has anyone used it with the screen off or while the app is closed? I have only used a few times and both times I'd already typed my pin. If you do it with the phone screen on but haven't opened wallet, it asks for pin right?
It's scary the first time you use it, I almost didn't believe it would work, but it DID!

NFC on Non NFC phone

I was wondering if you can put in NFC into your phone like open it up and install the chip or whatever. Or like be able to plug it on to your phone thru the charger port. I also heard that SD-cards that can connect to wifi can that apply with NFC. if my question is stupid and ignorant feel free to say so. I dont want to impose or be a stupid noob.
Thank you.

This is a cool feature but as a must-have for a phone? I don't know...

NFC is Near Field Communication right?
Thought it could be used for bluetooth alternative also.
(like phone to phone etc....)
Would love to have, but Desire S doesnt have it.

just wondering, whats the good side of NFC? i only see that as a battery drainer..

Even if you managed to add an NFC radio to your phone, you won't get it to work with google wallet due to the lack of a so called "secure element" which secures the transactions.

http://translate.google.com/transla...overca-presenta-in-italia-la-sua-sim-nfc-347/
They're going to implement that into SIM cards, many (most?) phones have one. Don't know about Google compatibility though, they talk about Mastercard standards.

After reading about NFC sim cards a few months ago I asked T mobile(UK) if they are going to be getting NFC sim cards any time soon, and the guy behind the till looked at me as if I was on crack

IMHO, the best implementation for this on a phone that does not have NFC pre-installed would be from the battery. It requires a hard connection to the circuitry to be powered...the easiest way to do that would be with an nfc-capable battery. The only pitfalls to this would be expensive replacements, slightly decreased battery life and possibly 1-2mm extra thickness to the battery itself. I think a ton of people would gladly take those small caveats to have NFC on a phone that shouldn't.

so i think that the third party companies should work on this for say like extended batteries... and provide a market link or add a market app that would give the nfc chip in the battery to work as an example or a dev do so to make the google wallet to think it is a valid phone with use and nfc chip...

You can't use Google Wallet with phones that don't have it built in period. There's more than the NFC. There's a chip called a Secure Element that's separate and stores all of the information for cards, etc. The phone either comes with it or it doesn't.
Also for phones with batteries that have an NFC chip in them, that's just an antenna for the chip inside the phone. It does nothing in a non-NFC phone.

Android pay will never work, no NFC chip on board. I'm tying to find where you see paypal works? Don't be confused by paypals in application purchase and actual live tap to pay. I don't see anywhere that paypal generates bar codes which would be one way to pay in person, so if it uses NFC with this watch it's a no go as well.
Found some additional info on the paypal system. Right now only some samsung watches and pebble have the app that will allow the watch to use the low energy becons to connect with bluetooth. Only the watch is needed and does not have to be connected to a phone. This also lets us know right away some type of app will need to manage the bluetooth connection with the low energy becon, if you find a store that has one?
"When a customer walks into a retail area that is covered by a PayPal Beacon signal inside, they will receive a push notification on their smartwatch."

Actually it's been confirmed that the Huawei Watch DOES have an NFC chip, it's just not functional yet. It has also been confirmed that Android Wear 2.0 will enable that chip and therefore allow us to use Android Pay with it.

That doesn't tell us anything revolutionary now, does it?
Gasp! A retelling of a retelling of a retelling can get distorted? Who would have thought?
So in conclusion, what you are using as "evidence" that the HW has NFC are claims from two sources that claimed to have received their info from a source that doesn't mention NFC functionality in the HW specifically at all. Just that it will be enabled in watches that have the chip, which is news to no one here. Therefore, your sources do not support your claim.

BTW, I've seen your responses so I'll tell you now, "I'm letting you know, I'm not asking you."

Huawei Watch micro does have NFC support but the watch itself lacks of a suitable antenna to use it (as far as I know the WiFi one can't be used for that purpose) so no... we'll never have NFC on our first generation Watch and all rumors you can find on the Net are distorted news taken from unreliable sources (or, maybe, Huawei propaganda to justify the shameful delay in releasing the final Wear 2.0 update).
