Samsung TecTiles - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey all,
Anyone give those Samsung NFC TecTiles a go with their GalNex? It looks like really neat stuff!

For what they are, the tags are overpriced. You can get tags for about 1/3 the cost from Tagstand.

Which app do you use to customize the NFC tags?

Yeah, the tags are really over priced... but they get the job done. I picked some up at my local Sprint store for me and my dad, (he has the Evo LTE) and they work fine.

i ordered a box of them from samsung with my 50% off coupon code.
however, i've never used nfc before outside of wallet.
if i set one to toggle wifi, gps, start car dock and put it in my car, when i scan it once to activate car mode, if i scan it a second time when i leave the car, will it

Only one way to find out... mind sharing the coupon code? Is it for Samsung.com?

I have played with the Tec Tiles. I hear that you can use the app in conjunction with Tasker to do more powerful things. Anyone know anything about this?

Is there a way I can put configuration on these other than using the TecTile app?
I want to put corporate settings for a wifi network on there, so the user simply adds their username and password and the rest of the network is setup. Is this possible?

Did you read through the tasker wiki? It is extremely helpful. I wanted to set up something that automatically opens a shopping list when I go to a certain grocery store and while it is difficult to do, the Wiki walked me through location-based triggers.
There is a wiki?? Link please.

Bank of America for Tablets

Would any one be so kind as to post a copy of the the " Bank of America for Tablets" apk? It won't allow me to download it from the market.
Something just feels scary asking for a Banking app on a public forum. Its extremely easy to tamper with it and give you a malicious version... I'd watch out with requests like this. :angel:

I understand the risks and appreciative your concern. I am not planning to log in. Just trying to test the UI with Nexus 7. I do check to see who it is coming from (reputation). Thank you though.
The app launches, but when I login it just hangs at a black screen
I've been looking for that app as well :-/

Can someone post current version. Also to address safety concerns if you have safe pass enabled for every log in no one can sign in without a code being sent by text to your phone... So kosher...
Are there 2 separate versions? I have the BOA app on my N7 it works great. Is there another version besides the one I got on play store?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah there's the bofa app for phone and one for tablet. Tablet let's you use myportfolio and has some enhanced features. The app available in the market for the n7 is the phone app.

I found this link
https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/android-tablet-banking-app.go
Where you're supposed to be able to email it to yourself but ive done it twice and it wont work. Why does the Play Store link say our devices aren't compatible when we're using tablets? Lol
Edit: T_T got the email, it literally just links direct to the play store again. What a waste of potential.
I'm also looking for the current APK. The older one linked here installs fine but unfortunately BoA has updated their app so as soon as you try and open it the app sends you to the market for an update and since the N7 isn't compatible, won't let you download.
Last updated Dec. 12 BofA apk

That's not the tablet app

This kinda sucks, just picked up the new model nexus 7. This is my first tablet, and I was kinda excited to see the difference between tablet apps and phone apps. Both American Express and Bank of America won't let me download their tablet versions. American Express won't even allow the regular mobile version either!

What to do.

I have two incredibles Verizon branded. What can I do with them? I use att now. So reactivating them isn't really on the to do list. I've looked into rooting and flashing and seems a bit more complex than with my Samsung captivate. If there is something really neat I could use it for it might be worth the trouble. Ideas? Anyone wanna help a fella out?

MOD EDIT: This isn't the marketplace, if you want to sell them then post in the marketplace and not in any of these forums. Thanks
You could use them as an mp3 player, use wifi only and play games and surf the net, or download a gps app that stores the maps locally since you don't have service on them.

I know the GPS is much better than on the cappy I use now so there is a wonderful idea. I wonder if I could use it for data logging on my motorcycle. Like as a accurate speedometer (with delay for changes in speed) a way to log top speed and as a HD video recorder. Do you have any suggestion as to which GPS nav software to use?

I would do this, and use it as a dev phone for testing (or learning how to compile, if you don't know how) ROMs.

The only navigation app I know off the top of my head that store maps locally is navigon. I have never used it and I see mixed reviews for it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
As I have 0 programming knowledge for computers at this time and with God's good grace starting school for it in the winter quarter it does interest me however I fear by the time I am proficient enough the development of this phone and thereby this thread will be long dead. I do want to root the phone and perhaps install a ROM that removes everything but the core of what it needs to operate and a very few apps. As I have two I could use one for GPS/MP3 duty for the motorcycle. So all I'd need is the basic operating system wifi a MP3 downloaded and a good local GPS software. I would think that the GPS software alone would take quite a bit of space.

CoPilot GPS stores its maps on your sdcard (North America maps take up about 1.3 Gb) and does a mostly acceptible job of navigating without using mobile data. The free version is a bit crippled, but what do you expect for free? Street address searches and POI searches also work well even without mobile data, ideal for a non-activated phone.
Another app I use sometimes is Navfree USA. It uses Open Street Maps, so they can be hit or miss. Also, searching by street addresses is mostly broken (Open Street Maps doesn't seem to handle postal codes well). Maps are downloaded state-by-state.
So what can be removed without destroying the os? I need only GPS functions bluetooth WiFi and audio.
Perhaps gmail and the play store. Unless I can use the play store without gmail. Is there a ROM I can flash that is already slimmed way down.

I probably wouldn't remove to much. This is what I am going to do to this phone when my contract runs out with Verizon and I switch to sprint. I'm going to run cm7, which has already been suggested and use the wifi only script which can be found here:

Removing any system apps or parts of the os won't get you anymore space for storage since those are in the system partition.

Will it get me more speed? Like running through 6 inches of water as opposed to 4 feet.

I don't know how much you may hit the track on your motorcycle, but here are a few suggestions that you can find on the play store.

and a review of those

Looks like an app I may pay for. Even if im not on a track it will still help as there are a few places on my commute I tend to open up and ride hard. Makes my ride home quicker. Seems it could also be used to log top speed and 1/4 mile times. So a lot of useful features.

Samsung Releases NFC Accessory “Samsung TecTiles”

Anyone known what this does?
They are 'RFD' type stickers that can be used with any Samsung Android device that has NFC. You place a sticker somewhere (desk, car etc.) and when the phone / tablet is near to it, you can have its settings preset though an app (i.e. bluetooth on, wireless off, show map app etc.)
Check out the TecTiles free app in the Play Store for more details.
This wont work with Note 10.1 as it does not have NFC
Thanks guys.
At least we have to draw making it special. Haha
Don't forget the rf blaster and peel that makes it an awesome universal remote, even though the app isn't the best to setup.I wish they would make more apps for the rf blaster

Old phone as music streamer

Hey! Wondering if you guys could help me out, I have an old HTC incredible s that I want to leave plugged into my stereo and stream music from my gs3 to it, preferably over blue tooth since I never use wifi. Is there any way to set this up?

I can't remember the name of the app, but there is a program that allows 2 mobile devices (tablets and/or smartphones) to connect this way. The app for the host device is a paid app but each addon device utilizes a free controller app. In this instance, your HTC would use the paid host app to be used with a stereo, TV, computer, etc and your s3 (and any other phones/tablets) would use the free remote control app. I'll see if I can find it again
