[Q] NFC apps for opening doors? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Am pretty sure that to get into my flat I use a NFC key, so is there an app that can replicate this function?

It would require coding but I have seen it done if u have a key or something that is flat yesterday could fit it into the back part of your nexus

Card emulation is supported. NDEF Push is, but I'd suspect the cards you want to use aren't NDEF.

I think most remote entry systems like that use RF

Ya, I think most doors are RFID, but you could easily just slap an RFID chip in your battery cover...

control android camera from desktop?

I think my roommate has been taking money from my wallet and I always come home with my belongings moved around. is there an app/ desktop program that lets me remote control my android camera, turn it on at my command without making any noise or indication that its on, and let me view live from my computer?

There are a few. Here's one. If you search the market for 'Spy Cam' or google 'Android spy cam', you'll find more...maybe even a free one. Sounds like you need a new roommate. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Samsung TecTiles

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?
Sent from my AOKP Nexus using xda Premium
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?

Try NFC task launcher

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

Using Logitech database for IR Blaster?

My set top box is not supported on peel or watch on, but I found that it is supported by the Logitech harmony codes.
Is there anyway we can get the codes from that database and use them in peel or some other app?
I also have an IR receiver with a 3.5mm output. Can it be used to learn IR codes from the original remote?
If it helps my box is a Cisco 3410DVB

Go to Samsung's website after submitting a ticket via WatchOn, which should happen after failing to set it up, & submit a question to customer service. I had an issue with codes & after getting a hold of service, 3 days later one of their engineers contacted me & a week later t5hey had fixed my issue.
Sammy's customer service has come a long way & has become pretty responsive & helpful. That has been my experience in the last 6 months.
Thanks for the info.
Actually I don't have watch on in my device.
I had submitted the problem with the peel app, but there hasn't been much response to that from the support guys.
I tried an S4 version of Watchon, but it gave me some error, I will try to get the note 8.0 version.

I must be the only once that can't get my TVs to ever react to the IR blaster... just doesn't seem strong enough.
I wonder what's the point in having IR with no app which you could teach by reading signal from your own remote. Even the old Palms could do it (Novii Remote). I searched the Play Store and found nothing, Peel is the first app to go once I start removing the S-bloatware.

Actually, it is Samsung's fault. The hardware for learning codes is missing from galaxy device. The device doesn't even cost 50 cents, why did they didn't include it?
Sony is much better in this aspect, it can learn codes.
