OK so I've seen a few threads about NFC so thought it might be an idea to correlate all the info into one thread. Lets make this a thread for questions about using NFC or buying tags etc. as well as giving tips we've found or how we've overcome problems. Then I can update this op with the tips or deals we've found!!

I know some tags will work with symbian but not with android. So there might be a compatibility issue as well. Something to do with the hardware maybe?
Using the Sony Xperia Smart Tags and app from the Play Store. Works fine for me. Only thing I could do with is GPS on/off in the options. Going to have a play with it and Tasker to see how they can combine.
Anyone from aus or outside us been able to install google wallet and use it?

To get GPS toggle working you need Tasker AND secure settings. Once you have installed secure settings go to system settings, security and enable it as a device administrator. Then open the app and go to the helper tab and install the helper. Now go into tasker and go to settings, misc tab and tick allow external access. Create a new task (i called mine GPS Toggle) click the plus to add a new task and click on plug ins. Select secure settings then hit configure. In the drop down list you will see gps. choose on, off or toggle and hit the little disc icon in the corner to save. Now you can select this task from nfc task launcher to program gps state to tags!

dont have a clue which uk retailers accept it though, anyone know?
P.S. A fellow Bristolian!!!
EDIT: Ive just tried following the instructions but get the error message. Having done some more research i think google have fixed this workaround so it doesnt work. Looks like we might have to wait for an official google release before we get to play with wallet

That's for the Galaxy Nexus.
The Google Wallet application will not work on a One X. Unless you can fool Google Wallet into thinking you're using one of the Wallet-approved phones (Nexii and those LG phones), you won't be getting anywhere.
I want to buy 10 of those, but i'm not sure which ones are better for my One X.
I think i'll try to write my own NFC Application in the near future. So which ones shall i buy?
These:
http://rapidnfc.com/item/59/white_nfc_tags_ntag203_round_38mm
Or these:
http://rapidnfc.com/item/48/white_nfc_tags_ultralight_c_round_38mm
Is there a limit how many times i can rewrite those tags? Or can i only write the information once on those nfc tags?

As far as i know you can rewrite tags as many times as possible (although i think you can make them read only) Those tags look ok, id check the capacity though as i couldnt see it anywhere. If you want to use them for things other than just tel numbers or links then id go for some 1K tags.
im confused as to why you would use a tag to say turn on/off the gps for example when its just as easy to go to the settings and do it? In most cases its probably quicker and easier than having to carry around tags with you.
for example on my phone now all i have to do is hit a single widget on the home screen (power control app). Whereas if i had a tag i would need to get that out of my pocket as well as my phone and swipe it.

NFC tags are useful if you regularly need to do a set of tasks in a particular situation. You also tend to leave the tags where that situation occurs rather than keeping them in your pocket! For instance when I get in my car I only listen to music from my phone so I want it to start playing. I also want the music app to load, media volume set to maximum and to turn wifi off. By using a tag (which is stuck to the dash) I can make the phone perform all these tasks at once. I can also use another tag to set the phone up in a different way for when I leave the car. Hope that explains it OK

As Dan's said, it's not carrying the tag around, it's having the tag where you need to switch a load of stuff.
For example, my home one is wifi on, bluetooth off, volume max. Car's wifi off, bluetooth on, open the car home app. Work's silent, no wifi, no bluetooth. Just tap the tag when you go past it/get in the car. Job's a good 'un.

ah right,
i was under the impression that you could only use the tags to perform 1 task rather than a "subroutine" of functions
Can I exchange apps through android beam or do i need to use another app or something? how about the wifi direct thing with samsung beam , works android beam on same way?

The Screen shots are taken after installing exposed framework and adding few tweeks to the ROM. I am using Google Music Play app and working perfectly far better Sound quality than the stock rom. The Play Store will update after updating Google Play Service. Wait over Wifi network, it will prompt automatically.
Best of Luck

You have too many apps that use Mobile Data. Dont give then the right to do that (Its in the Setttings) or turn your data off.

Try this. Go to settings>mobile networks and untick "enable always-on data mobile"
Also go to Apps manager and you can force close and disable any apps like Google books, Google music, Google+ etc
Another way you can go to Accounts and unsyc unwanted stuff eg click on your Google account and see full list of all synced services.
All these steps will give better battery life too.
Hi, I just want to share with you the list of apps I have disabled using "Package Disabler Pro".
The app costs a couple of dollars and does not need root: it only disables apps and does not remove them.
I am attaching the XML file: you can either import this in the app (and modify the outcome) or open the file to see the list of disabled apps.
Two more apps that can be disabled are...
... com.sec.android.app.soundalive: the equaliser
... com.sec.hearingadjust: tweaks audio thru headphones based on an audio test
Be careful that by disabling get the following apps (list not exhaustive) you may get FC's in some settings:
- Themes (on top of the main settings page)
- Calendar, Messages (sms), Email (in sound settings)
Nothing to be worried about: it's just bad coding from Samsung

Be careful about disabling touchwiz. If you don´t have a launcher, you will end up in a reboot loop (read it elsewhere).
Btw, I am using it too. Will post the list briefly, but I am having problems: cant take any screenshots. Pressing the home button and power button simultaneously does nothing. Any ideas?

There is a massive thread going on for this with the note 5. I have been keeping track. But is the bloat carrier specific? I'm with 3 UK. I have package disabler pro and have done nothing with it as I'm worried running an xml for say an American bloated handset. Will cause issues. I don't like just turning of something when I have no idea what it's for.

Hi thanks for the list. I used the debloater app along with the list above to remove a boat load of apps.
I am removing a few more, will soon post a new list. Phone battery is now lasting a lot longer. Have also installed Google Launcher: it is a lot smoother than touch wiz, especially scrollable widgets.
Updated OP with more info and a new XML fie.
Enjoy...
I'm not seeing any attachment on OP. How do I get the XML file? Thanks.
Try now
What's the option that turns down the battery stats?
Because I go to the options and it doesn't show up the battery option
True... didn't notice... will try to find out
Smart Manager
A little to agressive (i lost some basic apps and I saw NFC and Miracast disabled) but I re-enabled what I needed and looks good. Had only one force close in settings.apk but might be related to missing battery options which I re-enabled as well. But overall great work, beer for you!

yes I noticed NFC and battery, and re-enabled tem myself
what is miracast?
out of curiosity, which are the basic apps you needed and that were disabled?
you may get an FC also if you disable theme, that I have disablked since I do not use touchwiz but GEL
First thanks to everyone for their help on this small project.
This task will strictly run at 60hz, but once you select the apps you want it to run 90hz on it will jump up to 90. This will revert back once you exit the app you've enabled 90 on
Directions
-Once the profile is imported make sure it is enabled.
-Turn off smooth display
-To choose your apps tap on the profiles name -> tap choose apps.
-Once you have selected your apps make sure you save the changes by tapping the check on the top of your screen.

If you want All Apps then I'm assuming togging on the force switch in Dev settings will accomplish that. Unless I'm not understanding...

Yes it works, even on Android 11, I can confirm that. (Enable show refresh rate in developer settings, there you can monitor it the best) Make sure Tasker can access root.
Will this work with custom rom's or only the "stock" ones? Ie what is it changing to set the display rate? I have a tasker profile setup for this that uses Global `oneplus_screen_refresh_rate` but not sure that's gonna be available on an aosp related rom.
*update* Works great on my custom Android 11 rom on a oneplus 7 pro. Thanks Kevtrejo37
