[Q] NFC while screen is off? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So is this possible? according to the Xperia commericals showing their NFC-badges you just swipe the phone over it. With the GNex you have to turn the screen on unfortunatly, is there a way to fix that?
EDIT: Mod can move this to Q & A, it's getting late over here.

From what I've read, this is a security feature in ICS, as NFC can be used for payments, etc.
I can understand why they have changed it, though IMO it should be an editable setting.

Ah, ofcourse now i see why but yeah it should be editable, though NFC is not that widely used yet i'd like to turn that security feature of until i connect a creditcard to my phone.

Every demo in the xperia video shows the screen on as far as I can tell, and unlocked.
The short answer though is no. ICS requires the device to be on and unlocked before the NFC service is started and the polling loop starts.
If someone wants to try to modify the underlying NFC service in a custom rom it's possible. I wouldn't recommend having it on all the time, but a behavior similar to Gingerbread (unlock was not necessary) would probably be desirable for most users.

Well now that you said it and i checked the video again..your right.
Think I got the idea from when he stepped out of the car and just flashed the badge.

To be fair they do make it seem like that's how it would work. Who would turn their phone on, unlock it and then turn it upside down BEFORE they get out of their car just to scan an NFC tag once they got out.
I don't see that being a reality though as the rest of the demos clearly show the device on and what appears to be unlocked. Given this is how the NFC service works within ICS, I'd suspect this will be the behavior as well.

Any way to enable NFC while phone is in standby?

I find NFC fascinating technology, and have lots of tags to play with. But the biggest barrier to putting them to good use is that NFC doesn't work while the phone is in standby. For example, I could put a tag beside my bed and put the phone into silent mode automatically. But if I have to switch on, unlock the phone and touch the tag, I might as well have just dont the task normally. But if I could leave the phone in standby and all I do is wave at the tag...that would be amazing.
Can it be done?
alicechong89 said:
The NFC function isnt turned on until you get out of the lock screen I think.
I've read in some other forums/threads that this is not possible mainly because of security reasons.
Example: If there was a stranger next to you with their NFC Tag really close to your phone, you wouldn't want your phone to detect the tag automatically without you knowing.

Thanks. The tag has to be REALLY close to trigger anything. But I think that should be a user choice rather than a forced one. Disappointing...maybe Android will change in the future to allow this.
It was introduced in ICS. With gingerbread it wasn't necessary to unlock your phone to read tags - I used to use a tag to toggle my pin lock screen & WiFi/data connection, which was quite nice.

I understand Google's concerns about security, but this is a poor solution. Having to turn on and unlock the screen completely removes one of the advantages of NFC technology - speed.

Just started using NFC this past week and kind of sucks you have to unlock the phone to use it.
I wish there would be an option that we can choose this setting.

Smartwatch 3 - NFC uses

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has tested the NFC functionality? I am currently using the Smartband - and I use the NFC on the Core with Xposed Framework to unlock my phone (Xperia Z1). Aside from dealing with the annoyance of having Lifeblog constantly launching upon unlocking - I find it quite useful without having to enter a PIN every time.
Not many details on the location of the NFC antennas on the SW3. Wondering if I can truly replace the Smartband with the SW3.
There is smart unlock feature in lollipop so it will not ask for pin if smart watch connected, I believe you can achieve similar with xposed or 3rd party apps on previous versions of android
NFC works
If you got NFC on your phone turned on the phone recognizes the watch by bumping and opens the android wear app.

If the watch is off, nfc contact also turns it on.
I was testing SW3 NFC with newly purchased Sony SBH-60 headphones. No luck - nothing activates. The headphones worked fine once manually paired, but in my opinion NFC does not work, most likely is not supported by Android Wear yet. Which would be another big disappointment - no LifeLog app on the watch, no sleep tracking with use of Watch, no Walkman app, now no NFC support.

So far, so good. Everything works as advertised and nice sound, overall yet I'm not an audiophile to comment on a lot. I think you should not worry about pairing with Nexus 5, but I can't tell for sure, no N5 around to test

Thank you BartManx, I'm also not an audiophile so I guess it'll be good to me too.
Until Android Wear starts supporting NFC, it's hard to test the full capabilities of NFC on the SW3. As others have reported, right now it just opens the Android Wear app on the phone.
Galaxy Note 4
I can't sync with Galaxy note 4. Any solution ?
According to the owners manual the NFC antennae is in the centre of the screen. Which makes sense so it can be used while on your wrist.

If you don't have Lollipop, but you have a rooted phone, NFC and Bluetooth can be awesome.
I hate using a pass code. I like waking up my phone and going right to what I want to do. However, if I ever leave my phone unattended, it would be nice to know that someone can't just get into it and start messing with things. So, I have a rooted LG G2 running Xposed. There is a module called: "No Lock Home"
In a nutshell, after you enter you Bluetooth address of the watch into the module, if you are wearing your watch and you walk away from your phone far enough to break the NFC/Bluetooth connection, the phone goes into lock mode (meaning you need a pass code or pattern or whatever you set up); once you come back into range of the phone, the pass code/pattern lock goes away and you're free from having to take the extra 3 seconds to "unlock" your phone.
Technology is the bees knees!!
There is an app called Skiplock which I believe is made by someone on XDA which does the same thing but without the need for root. You can use BT or Wifi for keeping the phone unlocked.
I'm not sure if my sw3 doesn't have (dont work maybe?) nfc or my nexus 5's nfc isn't working. Anybody could show me what happen when the sw3 is close to a smartphone?
EDIT: found it https://youtu.be/4YStUt_RPKs?t=5m7s
So or my nexus 5 nfc is fkd up or my sw3's nfc is fkd up lol
EDIT2: Ok solved. The replacement part I got for my nexus 5 was broken. I got use the nfc+wireless recharging combo from my old (original) back cover.

No lockscreen on Bluetooth

Hi, I have something puzzling me and I think the community will be able to help me. I've been on CyanogenMod for the longest time before buying my N5X and one of the features I miss the most is the profiles settings.
My problem is I want to disable my lockscreen automatically when connected to my car Bluetooth. To be clear, I want it gone completely, not just the security, as in when I press the power button I go straight to Play Music. I have Trigger installed but can't seem to find a way to do this. I'm also willing to buy Tasker if I'm sure it will allow me to do it.
I'm rooted and running Cataclysm ROM if it helps.
Delete your car Bluetooth and re-connect it. It should prompt you to set up a Trusted Devoice. This will disable the lockscreen while connected to this device.

'bad key' message when booting phone

Hi, first time newbie posting here
I've tried looking up my problem but I have a slightly different issue to what I've seen others have.
When I turn on the phone it says 'bad key' in an odd spot. It delays the boot up time a little but eventually loads up fine.
I was aware of this before I purchased it from the person. I think the person must of got an early release of Nougat for developers because the 'About phone' details seem different to my 2nd (store purchased) Moto Z Play even after checking for system updates.

I would assume the bootloader is unlocked, but the message looks a little different than what it usually says. Normally there's a triangle and says the device is unlocked and cannot be trusted as well. As for the About Phone, it looks the same for me.

This is just someone trying to cover up the unlocked bootloader message with an altered boot logo. Whoever you bought it from tried to hide the fact that they terminated the warranty even though you could send it to Moto for them to relock it with a new key.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Hopefully it wont cost too much.
Just wondering if I changed the rom to lets say Lineage would that 'bad key' message still exist?
What is so bad about that message?
It says
"You can do backups of partitions using TWRP"
It says
"You can root, meaning you can do backups of apps using Titanium backup"
It says
"You can root, meaning you can copy files keeping timestamps like on any other OS"
It also says
"You most probably won't get repairs from Lenovo because warranty is void"
Last point is the disadvantage, but changing the image or text won't help. Lenovo has your device ID in the database of unlocked devices.

I got in touch with Motorola's/Lenovo's authorised repairer here in Australia. I was told the motherboard would have to be changed- around $400 so not worth it.
I was actually planning to use the phone as a gps tracker so the extended boot time bothers me a little and also the fact the system updates aren't the same as my other (stock) Moto Z Play.

I'm more bothered by annoying boot animation, unfortunately with sound. But there locked or unlocked bootloader makes no difference.

If you don't root it and don't install another OS, there is no reason for updates to be different just because the bootloader is unlocked. What is the difference in your case?

It's about 20 seconds- I know it's not thaaaat bad but still I'd like it to fire up asap.
Its going to live in a car and only charging while the car is running (so the car battery doesn't go flat). I still need to set it up but once the car is started it'll turn back on.
I'm uncertain if its actually a different OS- it looks like the original one but its almost like the previous owner unlocked it to get Nougat on it before it was officially released- thought someone might know from the screenshot.

You may consider adding a power block to your setup. I'm usually not charging my mobile from the car, but from a power block which has the advantage that I don't need long cables (cigarette lighter is on the other side of steering wheel). They are cheap and add flexibility.
If you charge the power block at home or from the car, maybe charging power block and mobile sometimes in parallel using dual adapter in the car, and which size of power block you use, may be worth consideration.

Sorry, I can't tell.
If it turns out to be some wrong version or if you just don't trust the current installation, you are free to flash an original one. Unfortunately Lenovo does not release signed official versions, at least not until now. There are some links on xda. Some of them should be the right one

You would get 'N/A' in place of the 'bad key' message. This because custom rom devs don't encrypt/sign their roms like Moto does so there is no key to compare (thus N/A).

I know this is old, but I'll place my own answer as an exercise on the subject, if you don't mind: "Bad Key" sign means that someone flashed an unsigned, stock but non-original OS version on your phone; if just unlocked bootloader and even flashed custom recovery on an otherwise original OS (as shipped) it must read "N/A" instead. In both cases, phone should be equally usable; however, if OTA updates can be downloaded, they won't be installed as usual. Assuming that forcefully needed, updates can be ADB or recovery sideload installed. Relocking bootloader won't be possible under given conditions. The black screen with "Bad Key" in there simply means that there is actually no bootlogo installed, probably because previous owner failed in flashing an unwarned one and just refused to keep trying. You can't get rid of the "Bad Key" sign, but you can cover it by flashing any bootlogo of your likes, either with a full white background or a custom made image with a white section that covers exactly on the sign coordinates. Creativity should be used here. No way someone try to charge you big fat megabucks for a new motherboard, since there is no motherboard failure and there's no actual need for such a radical "solution". According to humble my point of view, you just can go rooting Z Play and enjoy the hell out of it...

I used for some time smartlock (because Pixel was paired with a smartband), so if it's connected, it was set to unlock in this case without password or fingerprint.
Otherwise, if we use fingerprint it take half second to unlock, so it's almost the same, but each user can decide what is more comfortable for him.

You may need to use gloves or other conditions where you cannot unlock the phone, then smart-lock might be useful. But as you say, in normal condition takes almost the same time. Then what is the point? You ask to remove a function that might be useful to others? Just don't use it if you don't like.

I'm sure there is, I have no idea how
On a side note, Google changing the screen to wake with a single tap instead of double tap is equally annoying and leads to the screen accidentally turning on all the damn time. Including in your pocket.

Ty so much for this.. But from his description
"You phone will never be locked"
I see how this is keeping the device unlocked (for a certain period of time) but how does the device auto lock when leaving a trusted site?
For me I have several trustes sites already with profiles made in Tasker.
My default (outside/not at home) would be where I would want my phone locked
