Europe and NFC - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Guys,anyone using NFC around europe?
What are the services accepting our GNEX?
I hope to start a useful collection thread.

Well, at least in Germany and as far as I know there are no payment services available.

No use of it in Norway. They have some test projects with nfc, but nothing that uses Google wallet
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

Nothing in the Netherlands as well.

I think you can use NFC to get Train Tickets. At least i always see these "put-your-phone-here-to-get-tickets-thingys" at the Stations.
Never used it though.

Did anybody have a look at McDonald's?
I think I saw some wireless counters...
But maybe I'm hallucinating

Nothing in Switzerland.

Disabled it in France, can't use it anywhere...... just drains my battery

QR-code based. And you need to have an account on bahn.de, with credit card information stored.
(bahn.de (German))

QR is on your phone but to get the Ticket you use NFC

Didn't knew that. I'll definitely have to try that sometime.

You have to have an account though and ad your adress and paying method and all that. I always pay cash for tickets so i don't use it.
Basically you have to use the touchpoint on the trainstation where you start and finish and it generates the prize i guess. Ticket Inspectors scan the QR code on your phone to check the ticket.
Problem is when your battery runs out you are out of luck.

Skygo released this morning on Android.

Nexus not supported. Sky amateurs.
So which pro from here going to get it working?
Yeah, got the APK and it loads but won't sign in...No idea what Sky are thinking not supporting ICS, seeing as half the phones that it DOES work with are updating in a month
Here's the APK for those wanting to try to hack it...
Its not that it doesn't support ICS. The problem is it not supporting the Nexus. Someone needs to mod the apk to not check for what device is being used.

Doesn't work on my Sensation using ICS either, but fine once on GB
The app runs on the Nexus, you just can't sign into it

No, it's ICS that it doesn't like. It won't run on my SGSII with stock 4.0.3 either. Apparently it would have been fine if I hadn't tinkered with it. The FAQ states that...

Please note that if existing Sky Go users with V2.2 or 2.3 choose to upgrade to V4.0 they will not be able to stream content through the Sky Go app until the operating system can be fully supported. In order to ensure that our rights' contracts are fully upheld we are also unable to support any Android devices that have been rooted.

I can't see that being a popular policy in these here parts.
Yea I'm hoping someone at xda can get this to work with rooted phones
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
I've been asking on the SkyGo support forums, but after myself and a few others pushing for an explanation on what exactly defines a device as rooted (resulting in just Sky News working) sky have fallen silent, and their twitter support said "we just dont support them" (i.e rooted devices)
I tried the Voodoo OTA app (some user have claimed it has worked for them) but not me.
Does not work on my Gingerbread Galaxy Note either.

So this works on a HTC Desire, but not on my Nexus One!?
Anyone know how to get it working on a Nexus One?

you can't deactivate it unless he does it though his sprint account.
if you don't want to use the radio, then i suggest airplane mode, as you would disable it, as well as have wonderful battery life.
If you have all the correct info, you can port the number out.

It's you walked in a Sprint store and said this I'd ponder if you stole the phone. Not saying you did but it's one possible way Sprint would look at it.

Day one with my S3

I've never loved a device so much. I think...I think i'm in love. From the gorgeous screen, to the amazing NFC...to the fact that google just randomly gave me 10$...to the ease of use of the toolkit in the dev section, the simplicity of rooting...the BUTTER smooth interface...its just...its just...ITS JUST TOO MUCH!
cool story bro.

You need a pic with that comment.
did you have to add a prepaid card to get the $10 or just activating activating google wallet?
Yeah, I loved it when google gave me $10 free for google wallet. I got like 6 sodas from a paypass enabled vending machine after that lol.

i mean, i guess my point is...Out of all the android phones i've upgraded to, this one seems the farthest in terms of difference from one to the next. Its just so much better in so many little ways.

I'm coming from the Evo 3d. The S2 came out a little while after the 3d did so i was already stuck. I wasn't disappointed because i loved my 3vo. It was a great phone. Dual core and all. The screen on this new phone is just insane though. Watching 1080p movies and the way the colors just pop is unlike any mobile screen i've seen. I love the NFC too and how you can link nfc stickers to tasker profiles. i know you could do this with the s2 as well but its new to me. Theres just a bunch of little things ya know?

Samsung Mobile USA posted on its Facebook that it's sending a coupon for 50% off accessories.
Here's the Facebook status:

My phone is registered but what is Owner's Hub? I don't see an app for it on the Play store or anywhere on my phone.

It's linked to Facebook, but it didn't like my IMEI. Too bad, the coupon would have been nice.
I hate how everything these days is linked to facebook and twitter.
Guess I miss out on this deal. Don't want to make a stupid fb account.
i guess it's only for US gs3. entered my canadian imei, didn't work. thanks for the post tho.
if anyone got the code and wouldn't mind sharing that'd be awesome!
It's not worth it. Have you seen the "accessories" on their site? There's 12 things for the S3.
It's pretty funny what I did the other day and I had to share.... I used the coupon code for an accessory and I added a "Development Verizon S3" and it took half off of the phone too and it even let me checkout and I got a confirmation e-mail and everything! I ordered (2) of the 32gb models and it was almost $700 with tax... I should have just tried to get one and maybe it might have slipped by the radar but unfortunately they caught on and cancelled my order... LMAO I knew that was gonna happen but I HAD to try.... Maybe one of you should try to just order a phone with one accessory and see if it goes thru?? YMMV crazy that it would even let the order go through though.... Like I said, I had to try!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
i'll be holding onto my coupon until the last eligible day, hoping that the wireless charger gets released.
Great info
Thanks
EVERY accessory I click on only has a link to a different seller. How do I buy it on their site? I like how they make like 7 different color flip covers.

Samsung Wallet

Samsung Wallet, Samsung's version of Apple's Passport, looks really promising. I wonder if we'll somehow get it.
From Android Central:
Samsung has announced a new API for developers to help manage event tickets, boarding passes, memberships, and coupons. Samsung Wallet will be a new application which brings all of these types of content into one place. Time and location-based push notifications will help users get a hold of the ticketing information.*
If this sounds familiar, that's because iOS has had this thing called Passbook for awhile which does (and looks like) the same thing. Still, I have a feeling Android will have a leg-up on mobile ticketing since there's still no natively NFC-enabled iPhone out there.*

Agree somewhat.
But I'd mention that Samsung just partnered with Visa PayWave. When Apple partnered with Visa, they were able to do a workaround:
"Apparently, Visa has found a workaround for the lack of NFC phones by embedding the computer chip needed into specially designed iPhone cases instead."
I could see them offering it to Samsung for devices like ours too... maybe?
Good thing the GSM S2 has NFC muahaha
We won't see NFC other than SD cards like what Moneto was making.
I highly doubt any manufacturer will make a case that has NFC for the E4GT this late in the game.

Screw Hollywood anyways, they use our money to try to ruin our collective internet, at this point no one should be giving them any money, it's self defeating. I won't post anything, in the past i was advised not to post petition links, but if you feel like searching for CISPA and speaking your mind it would help everyone out that uses the internet.
Oh and yeah we don't have NFC, so who cares, my main point aside.
