Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows of an NFC tag writer that can write tags in bulk? Im needing 250-500 identical tags written very quickly and the Task Launcher can only do one tag at a time.
Had a look around but the tag writers I've seen online only seem to do one at a time.
Any help I'd be grateful!
same problem
Hi, did you find any solution?
I have the same problem.
Tnx
GoToTags Encoder
Hey.
Check out the GoToTags Encoder. It's great for encoding lots of tags with the same data or different data. There is a trial that you can download from the website.

Nfc bulk writer
Hello,
If you need to write tags in Bulk you can try "NFC Bulk Writer" on Play store (I can't post the link).
You can also write different tags. You only have to import the csv with the list of tags to write. :good:

So was anyone able to scan any NFC tags?
some stores has NFC payments enabled, some movie posters or stuff like that has NFC chip build in
in some countries there's NFC tickets for the bus/subway
so, it all really depends how popular or not it's in the are where you live
not even all USA cities are that high tech
I've heard that NYC taxis and some pharmacies and such there support NFC. But I've also heard that the phone's software isn't really setup to use the NFC yet. I know that Sprint and the Google Nexus S 4G have Google Wallet hooked up to their NFC.
I don't know that TMO has a deal with Google Wallet. Are they part of that Isis group?
I've successfully scanned my SFO Clipper card which uses NFC. Pretty cool.
The venture is now developing provisioning systems that will allow existing payments services to be added to any NFC phone owned by a subscriber to any of the Isis founder's mobile networks, says Johnson — and Isis already has a number of banks ready and willing to pay for this service. "When we launch next year we will launch with multiple banks," he explained.

I've been testing krohnjw's NFC Task Launcher app. I must say it's pretty damn awesome! It lets you set tags up for doing different tasks. I'll make a video sometime, he has some on his development page. You can set a tag to enable wifi, for example. One idea I had was to use his app to set your phone to toggle bluetooth when you place the phone in your car dock for example. Very neat stuff!

Cool stuff, time to buy some NFC tags.

I'm still looking for the best price on cheap tags to mess around with. I've also read there is some confusion around the net as to which tags will work with our phones/phones in general.
NFC Tags, what works, what does not
I've got two TMO SGS2s, so I did some NFC testing the other night. Here is what I found:
1) Creating a text tag works. Reading it from another phone works. But when read, it put the text into a new post in the Google+ app. Not really what I imagined wanting to do with an NFC tag that I read.
2) Sharing Google maps locations over NFC seems to work. But again when reading the tag, the text and URL is opened up as text in a new Google+ posting.
3) Web page URLs. I used Dolphin HD to share a few web pages. Reading the tag properly brought up the website. This one feature seems to be more or less fully operational.
4) Sharing contacts over NFC did not appear to work at all. It is an option when creating a new tag in the Tags app, but we couldn't get it to work for any type of contact.
Are you able to read arbitrary RFID tags using the T-Mobile Galaxy S 2? I've tried on several different types of RFID tags with no success (NFC was indeed enabled when I tried):
-Passport
-Building entry badge
-DC Metro SmarTrip card
I've tried using the included "Tags" application, in addition to "NFC Reader" and "NFC TagInfo".
Oddly enough, I stopped by my local T-Mobile store, and the representative told me that he was unable to transfer URLs or random tags (or contact information, as you stated) between two Galaxy S 2 devices, or between a T-Mobile Galaxy S 2 and an HTC Amaze. (We then played around with the devices a bit in an attempt to get something working, but to no avail.)

I haven't tried reading any physical tags. Only between 2 different NFC enabled phones.
I did a whole bunch of research with the Nexus S NFC reader - and so far as I can tell, the SGSIIX has the same capabilities.
I have a bunch of blank 1K, 4K and Ultralite MiFARE tags that are AWESOME to play with. Even just putting your contact card on there, or URLs (you can do anything with a URL) is tons of fun to play with. They don't read proprietary NFC implementations without special software - only tags encoded with an NDEF structure will be automagically picked up by Android.
The good stuff is coming up - I'm 98% sure that Zoompass is coming out with an Android app compatible with the QuickPay/Interact-Flash readers. Next year, pay for small crap with your phone!
Hi,
I am a proud new owner of galaxy nexus, and I want to buy an NFC tag.
Question is, is there any specific type of nfc tag that I have to buy for it to work with my phone?
P.S. This is my first post and I just registered a couple of minutes ago, that video was pretty hilarious.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21447200
good day.
the thing is, I am in Australia and I would like to buy it from Australia for faster shipping, I read through that topic you sent me, and people mention about tagstand which is in US.
so in general, does any type of NFC work? or is there any specific criteria that I have to look on before I buy it?
You can also use old or not editable tags with an app called NFC ReTag. I use my student card for silent-settings
The tags have a certain amount of memory, but I can't tell you how much you need. Stuff like "set Wifi on, GPS off, vibrate only" won't need much so any tag will be fine.
I was able to write and read all of the tag types included in the starter kit from tagstand using "NFC Task Launcher". So if you note the tag types included in the kit and find them elsewhere, you should be good to go. One thing to note is the amount of storage each one provides. The smaller ones won't hold complex multi-step operations.
One other caveat is that my phone is the Google Play US GSM version running 4.0.4. I believe older versions of the OS may have had problems with some tags. Good luck!
Regarding tag size -- if you have both NFC Task Launcher and Tasker, you can create a Tasker task of any size/complexity, and use NFC Task Launcher to launch it. The benefit of this is you can use the smallest size tag with an arbitrary sized task. The drawback is it will only work on your phone, another person's phone won't be able to utilize it unless he too has the Tasker task setup.
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to read & write on a Mifare Ultralight. I know a couple of applications available on the Play Store allow the possibility to read them, but I didn't find any application allowing me to write back (for example, change the data and save it back).
Is there a way to do so?
Also, is it possible to plug in the Android to my computer to use the NFC capabilities and to code in another language than Java? (some kind of bridge)
Thanks a lot for your support!

Have you tried NXP NFC Writer app? As of now there is no way to use your phone as a USB NFC reader.
Well I have both TagWriter and TagInfo. I can read the content of my NFC chip with TagInfo, but I can't with TagWriter. That's why I'm looking for something else to do the job, but can't find much on the Play Store.

Is the tag write locked? Formatting Classic 1K tags to NDEF is part of the standard NFC/NDEF libraries on Android. This allows full write access.
If you're trying to do it without NDEF then you have a different set of issues you'll need to deal with.

Well, some pages are writable, some others aren't. Still, I can't get it to work with any apps I found (also the one people suggested in here).
Is there some way to copy one RFID NFC tag to another blank NFC tag with the SGS3?. I have 2 active NFC tags that I would like to mess around with and see if I can actually copy them and get the same access as my authentic ones offers.
So down to the question. Is it possible to copy the entire contents of an NFC chip and write it to another one with an app, and in that case which one?
bump* I'd like to know as well
copy a tag
"NFC Smart Q supports reading or copying a tag"
I just read this, didn't use this app.
There must be more nfc apps in Google's android shop, doing this trick.
I cannot post links, i'm sure you will find it.

Depends. If it's a tag without any protection, yes.
If it's a tag with crypto, such as most RFID door entry systems, contactless credit cards, subway cards - no, they're intentionally designed to prevent such things. (Specific systems may have been hacked, but in general, these are not copyable.)
"Not protected" means I can edit them as I want right??
So if I can solve the encryption manually than I can change my info on my NFC card with the help of my cellphone.
Is that right??

Agreed - may not work for everything, but definitely one of the better tag cloning apps.
Hello,
I am new at nfc so please do not judge me
I have one question:
It is possible to write dokumrent path in nfc tags for example:URL.
but on the path will be security level as:
login
pasword
And after you type your login and password it is automatically opened your dokument.
I was tried to write this way, but after I type login and password the link is not active longer and I have to search manually the document in my data base.
Waiiting fot you answers
For any information I would be thankfull.
P.S. It is possible to do this with my samsung galaxy s3?
Hi XDA colleagues,
I just bought a Haloband it is a sillicone band with 3 nfc tags in it. The problem is the Haloband company failed and stopped selling and their site is down. But inorder to activate the NFC tags you need to download their app and scan the tags and register after that you are able to write and use the tags. But you can't register because the site is down so you can't use the tags.. But i tried Formating and Erasing but it doesn't work and i found out the tags are Mifare ultralight c tags that need a certain authentication. It is probally in the tag or their is probally a different way to unlock the tags.. Can be sometihing in the app data aswell.
Please someone that is smarter then me help me to unlock or erase the tags.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Robin
Anyone has an idea?
