[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.

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.

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!

O2 wallet will go live in the next couple of weeks. We've been testing it around the offices for months now and all is working perfectly. Some lucky customers got to try it early too

Are you talking about the NFC-enabled O2 Wallet? If not, O2 Wallet has been available on the Android market for three weeks now

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
Not only that I paid a McDonalds menu & a pack of cigarettes, but I also did it in Romania, a European underdeveloped country
Head over Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S forums for more "success stories" regarding GW and NFC payments.

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!

Will The GSM Note 10. 1 get Galaxy Gear watch support?

yep, it works just fine. Fun times.

ok, so still think my sony smartwatch 2 is much more useful at the present in terms of giving me useful notifications, and for some reason i only have like 6 apps available at the samsung store (probably b/c I'm using the note 10.1 international version not the USA Note 3). Still, i have the best of both worlds. My Sony watch for when running around with my xperia z1, and my galaxy gear watch which is wonderful somply for making and taking calls when paried with my note 10.1.
give us some more useful apps please samsung... would love a philips hue app for my watch.

Note 10+ 3D Scanner

Yesterday I received my T-Mobile variant Note 10+ which I pre-ordered from Samsung website. The device is awesome, but one of the key features they showed at unpacked is not on the device. I have not been able to find the 3D scanner. Is it just me or this is an issue? Thank you.

From what I've heard they haven't released it yet. It's on apkmirror. Search for Samsung 3D Scanner. Then go into Bixby Vision within the Camera and click on Apps and it should show up in there after installing the apk.

I was able to install this on my S10 5G as it has a ToF sensor like the Note 10+. Here is an example of 3D scanning one of my kids toys: https://imgur.com/gallery/sQVixjf

Yeah, that's what I heard over on Reddit. Didn't know that at the time. I've also tried scanning non reflective items and they still didn't turn out too well either.

Hopefully over time, the app will get some updates. New toy. New software. I have seen a few impressive videos of some captures that were really good. I have anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours before mine is in my hands to play with. That is one of the features I am dying to test.

Hello. Need this to replace bellus3d . Could someone post a face scan with a smile as an obj or ply so that I can see if the poly count is good enough for dental?
Thank you so much
 @babaroye

Thank the info.
Downloaded and check it out. A small test scan shows ot might ne pretty good.
I have an einscan sp. Ill he doing a comparison between the two.
But the note 10 scanner is pretty fast snd shall come in handy.

.obj with texture file.
Still doing some testing.
I believe models are a close scale. I just need a better scan area since you have to be able to walk around the whole item.

.obj works not sure about the texture file though

Make sure you use people for people and thing for everything else.

3D Scanner now available in the Galaxy Store. Seems to be a bit better.

It's not in the Galaxy Store for me. Sammobike had also posted it was available. But it isn't there.

Galaxy Watch 3

hello all, sure many are familar with the controversy that surrounds the galaxy watch 3, with the aim of attaining a working EKG, BP etc health functions, Im interested in knowing if anyone has successfully bought or used the korean model outside korea? my aim is to purchase a device from Korea and import it to the UK for working in the UK on a UK phone. Can anyone offer ideas or advise if anyone has tried this. Many Thanks.

Hello, I am planning to do the same as you. I will be ordering a Galaxy watch 3 from Korea.

good luck. please let me know how it goes. till this is all figured out I ordered an active 2 which is doing a decent job of BP monitoring. I really need BP monitoring above all else.

Galaxy Watch 3 Blood Pressure and ECG Install that works!
I have watched several Youtube videos on how to install the Blood Pressure and ECG app to get it to work.
Only one I found so far that works on the Watch 3 is in the link below.
It is a zip file and you "Don't need a Computer to install it".

The shorter way with APK as TPK Installer seems work only with Samsung Phones...
Because written by Samsung... only TPK replaced with BP / ECG
You can replace TPK inside this APK for other projects... Resign APK...
Works nice in GW3 LTE SWITZERLAND

the watch I bought was faulty. I have asked for a. replacement. should know shortly. in the interim I have also experimented a lot with the GWA2 and have learnt installation with any other phone, via PC, right tpks and apks to match. I should be able to revert with my UK GW3 loading by saturday.

ok, so after 2 days of fidgiting, I have got the UK model fully working. So the procedure followed was :
installing tpks via pc, and signing them after editing the manifest file. sounds complicated, but not that bad. GOT my new GW3 working.

Hi all.
I managed to get ecg working.is there a way to have spo2. I am in south africa and these features aren't enabled.

Question Is it possible to emulate NFC tags/cards on Pixel Watch?

For example, using Pixel Watch as a NFC key tag to open the door.

Theres 1 app for phone at least that im aware of and that i have tried that claimed to support virtual cards/tags for doing as youre asking, but ive never gotten one to work. Apparently a mixed bag for the few people who claim to have gotten it working
Assume probably less likely to appear on a WearOS watch
