I have a GSM GNEX with Google Wallet and all, but I have to admit, that's a brilliant idea.
(runs off to make a case that holds your NFC credit card so it's not visible)
Instant NFC back. It's actually logical......

It's one thing to have it built into a case where it's not visible but an entirely other to just stick it on the back with some tape or glue ...pretty tacky if you ask me...

Well of course, hence the comment about making a case to hide the card.
Every succesful idea starts out pretty rough around the edges.

Where can we actually use Google Wallet in the US to pay for things? Not even sure how this works. I thought there are just a few places that accept this?
It doesn't replace your credit card right now in the US does it?

Looks like I should upload a pic of my GN with built in hunting knife

Where is the list when you need it?
"Another reason to own a GNex over an iPhone"
I didn't see the list present and I was just wondering....
Was that reason number 5438 or 5439?

LOL made me laugh

i dont see NFC is an advantage over iphone.
i make payment much faster with my credit card than using my phone.
turn on phone > pattern unlock > tab > enter pin > tab > hit send

One more reason
And the most sad and funny all rolled into one...

At least his works more consistently than Google Wallet

lol...did I ever say there were 5440 reasons....
and I'm sorry to hear that you all have problems with NFC but it has always worked first go for me. You can set your pw timeout in wallet so you dont have to go through the pin process. I have Wallet in my google folder on the home screen. All i have to do is wake up my phone tap twice and scan. Quicker than taking my wallet out and then my card, and then entering my pin/signing a receipt.

No, no... you never mentioned it, I was just talking about one of the many reasons... and actually I think that one is in the MIDDLE of the LIST

What is the last part after entering your pin? I'm confused by tab and send. I've used my phone pretty much everyday since buying it to pay for something and I have never done anything other than unlock and enter the pin. I usually do this while standing in line and since the app stays unlocked for roughly 5 mins after entering your pin the only thing I need to do when checking out is turn it on. No unlocking etc is needed. Because I can enter the pin etc while standing in line it makes it MUCH faster than using my card.

Mall ad with free music download

I was at a mall today and right before the exit, I saw an advertisement for the GS3. What was unique about it was that it told you to hold up your own GS3 next to the one in the advertisement (as if you were beaming with it) to receive a free music download.
I wasn't so amazed by the technology as much as I was amazed that it worked on the first try... and it front of my iPhone-loving friends too!
Unfortunately the song I received was Some Nights by Fun., but still awesome.
Has anyone else encountered these ads?

The ad had an embedded NFC tag. You can buy tags and program them yourself to do stuff like that. The tags are cheap and the apps to program them are free.

Why wouldn't it work?

I am guessing you aren't using the stock battery. If you a buy a backup or larger battery, always make sure it says either in the product description or item itself that it is NFC enabled.

Because technology seems to never work for me when I'm trying to show it off to friends.
I figured I'd have to toggle a few settings or something, but I was happy with the immediate results. (Luckily I do keep NFC on, if I hadn't, I assume nothing would have happened.)

End of life ideas for dinc2

You could just send it to me! Haha, some people use it as a VOIP phone in there house. I think an app like GrooveIP will give you that option.

Personally I like having a second phone to quickly and easily show off something cool on the new phone via video. I had a d2g that had a bad esn (I thought I could use it in Europe, but was locked out there too) and I used it a lot for that.
Also I use it when going abroad, as it will work in Europe and the states.
Also, I love using my old phones as alarm clocks. You'd be amazed how many days an old BB Curve will last with all the radios turned off. I'm guessing a Dinc2 would be good that way too.

Two questions. Could it be a GPS without a data connection?
Also, does anyone know of an app that makes your phone networked attached storage and / or plug it into a hard drive and act as an interface for NAS?

I know GPS will work without data, but if you need to pull up directions for navigation, you need to be on WiFi to download the coordinates. After that if you don't make it re-route it will work. As for the 2nd question.....idk

really on all these ideas. I still have my Eris (though the trackball still scrolls left) as an emergency backup, mp3/Pandora player for in-house and garage (anywhere WiFi reaches), and white noise machine for sleeping baby.
Sometimes wish it didn't have that trackball issue so I could use it more efficiantly, so a fully operational DInc2 laying around would be an awesome thing to have.
What did you end up getting?

Thanks for the advice. I also like the idea of an experimental unit, now that I do not rely on the device daily, I can check out the jellybean rom and try out google now

I remember I used to get the eris trackball to start working by putting a piece of clean white paper on a table and rolling the trackball over it in a rolling motion. Always did the trick

Yea, I used up all the paper in the house. It only lasts for a short while now, but it does work for a little (usually). I even replaced the trackball with a blackberry one. I was thinking about trying just caking the area around the trackball/circuit board with JB weld to prevent flex which I think is causing the intermittent contact issue caused by the location of the charging port in relation to the trackball.
Ah well, either way it is extra and it wont be the end of the workl if I destroy it!
Yay for extras!

htc/Verizon asks that you place your inc2 on end of barrel of a 12 gauge, insert 3in slug, make it rain incredible flakes. now your inc2 has been officially updated by Verizon

Like someone else mentioned, the phone could be used as a VOIP home phone. All it requires is a Google Voice account and an app called GrooveIP (there's a free version, but the $5 full-featured version is definitely worth the money in my opinion). I also take it with me when I travel, since most airports and lots of hotels offer free WiFi, which allows me to make as many phone calls as I like without running up my minutes. I've been using my Inc2 for this purpose for awhile now, and it's very nice to have. I keep the phone in a dock and also use it for streaming music when I'm home as well as for my alarm clock. Just because the phone isn't activated on a wireless plan shouldn't mean that it can't serve a purpose.
Only other piece of advice; I would steer clear of ICS/JB based Roms if using it as a VOIP phone. I had nothing but trouble with the audio settings on GrooveIP. But the stock Rom, or any GB-based Rom should work fine. I use MROM (which is CM7 based) and it works exactly as expected.

Samsungs S-Health App work on Nexus?

Can this app work on the Gnexus? I saw they have wristbands now that will track what you do. Obviously our phones dont have the sensors but if the app works then no reason why it cant sync with the wristband. Anyone have any experience with this?

It didn't even come out..
How are we supposed to have experience with it already?

Our phone doesn't have the built-in pedometer, but there'll most likely be something like it in the Play Store sooner or later. I'd imagine once the .apk gets ripped it can still connect to that band thing.

Depends how the software is written (and it's from Samsung to be noted). GN is missing some sensors, so if the app can skip those gracefully and doesn't rely on TW framework, it might even work. But I don't see a point in using it, since the app makes sense of those extra sensors, everything else exists already and can be installed on most Android phones.

Android phone as USB NFC reader

Hey everyone, I just got this idea, and I looked around couldnt find any mentions of it.
I was wondering if it would be possible to use my NFC enabled phone, currently a Galaxy S4, as a USB NFC Reader, Or if need be I could probably get my hands on an S3 for short periods of time.
Just looking for ways I can save $50 buying one xD
plus it would be convenient...
Anyway has anyone else thought of this or am i alone here ?

I'm also interested in building something using this idea. How much have you looked into pushing it over USB? If you're not opposed to it, setting up a github for progress would be much appreciated if you have something brewing already.

I can't give you link because I'm a new user here, but search the play store for "NFC Relay"
It creates a server on your phone - connect to that server from your PC and you will have a console interface where you can send and receive commands.

Is there something now?
