I read that any NFC capable phone can use them.
Ok thanks for that info
Sorry to hi-jack this thread but I have tried this and I can't seem to get it to work. My wife has the Xperia S and I have the One X. I got the app Xepria Smart Tag and NFC Task Launcher (free version) but I cant get either to work.
When I turn on NFC in the setting and then scan a tag I just get a line that tells me a smart tag has been scanned. I can't then set what I want it to launch. Help on this would be great.
Thanks.

Just got a galaxy s3 and was wondering how this works. Do i need to open an nfc app to tag to allow my phone to read a tag?
It works by putting ur fingers on the keyboard and searching NFC tags or even better read the 10 1-2 pages threads in this forum

Well say
You don't need to open an app, the system asks you to select an app after you tap a tag.

Hey guys,
I did some searching and asked in some IRC channels, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer. I heard Biwoto Cerbero can maybe do I what I want it to do, but even though I'm in New Jersey, their app keeps downloading in Spanish for me. (I emailed them, I'll update this thread if that app can do what I want)
Basically, I have a Nexus 7 I'm trying to enable as a beer pouring authenticator for the Kegbot project. NFC authentication is easy past the lockscreen, but I also want to be able to use the tablet. Seeing as how I'm in college, letting some drunk friends play with my personal gmail sounds like a bad idea.
So I have two questions. One, I haven't seen this for the Nexus 7, but I know it's possible-- how hard would it be (presumably in a custom ROM) to enable NFC to work with the lockscreen off?
Two, is it possible to implement a top lock over my pattern unlock, wherein the top lock (could be anything, but presumably just a simple swipe) would allow access to only one application (the Kegbot app that responds to authenticated NFC tags by offering to pour a beer), but still keep another lockscreen in place to prevent other apps from being used?
That would also allow me to keep an app that writes specific strings or something to the tags to allow for access control if I don't want people rewriting their own NFC cards. (Though I could always write lock those)
Thanks!
Hate to reply to myself, but I think I've found the answer.
So my googling turned up this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5iaXdvdGEuY2VyYmVybyJd
It has some localization issues they're trying to fix, but it's not hard to change the language to English if you play around with the settings.
I've been emailing back and forth with one of the developers, who has been helping me out a ton. If you have the premium version (only a dollar), you can call their lock screen (either PIN or NFC) to come up after you leave the application you are in that you want to restrict access to. So I have my face unlock, get past the Cerbero lock, then I open my app. I call an intent in the app on destruction of the launcher activity that brings up the lock again. It's not the cleanest solution, but it works for my purposes.

Did you have any luck being able to use NFC without having to unlock the screen? i've seen other device specific solutions on xdad but nothing for the Nexus 7
Thanks.
Some time ago there was a modified nfc apk wich worked in both my nexus s and galaxy nexus...and it could do that.

I belive it was on gnex themes and apps forum.
Anyone found out how to get NFC working without the screen being on?
I've tried several methods under Gnex and GS3 forums but it doesn't work.
My apologies if this has been posted before, I didn't see anything though while searching.
Is it possible or is there and app out there that can program an NFC tag to open a files, say, a .PDF that is already on you phone?
This would be awesome for my line of work.

NFC Smart q works great to open a file, but it is not compatible with the Nexus 10. Does anyone have any options for the nexus 10? I would like to open a video file that is on my nexus 10 using an nfc tag.
I am looking for the same thing.
I a trying to find an nfc app that can launch a shortcut of a file.
Specifically I want to open an e-robot command file.
Any ideas?
I have looked all over XDA and Google looking for an answer, so I hope I am not starting a repetitive thread.
I got my girlfriends Moto X in the mail today and she got a free Motorola Skip with it. She isn't going to use it, so I figured I would try and set it up on my HTC One. I can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions, or tips? Has this been done yet?
would also be intrested in this

I'm fairly sure a lot of people would. I'd like the quick notifications feature too.
Assuming you know how to NFC, can you scan it with NFC tag info and post the results?
I'll have a looksie see how it works.
(Scan tag, email to yourself then copy/paste from the email)

Thanks for posting this, was just coming online to post the same answer. Interested in the results.
If its just a standard tag - doubtful, but who knows with googorolla these days - I have an app called nfcsecure that does a similar thing. Due to limitations of the framework, I can't actually turn the screen on, but its an NFC lockscreen.
Hi everyone,
i have just purchased a nexus 5 after a long wait for its release, so i am now going to have an nfc enabled phone. I go to a university where we have nfc tags instead of keys and i would like to know if it would be possible to write the information from the nfc tag to my phone so i will be able to use my phone as my key so i dont have to keep taking my key around with me.
any help with this would be much appreciated, or if its just not technically possible at least it will have put this idea to rest in my head
Thanks guys
NFC Tag Cloner app works maybe for you

Thanks for the reply! Just got an email from google saying my N5 has shipped cant wait to try this!
Id be a bit concerned if my campus keycard system could be cloned by anyone with nfc on their phone. If your school is on their and puts some level of encryption on their system. Then again if they are at all like my school was when it comes to tech, clone away!
endlywi distinct
unfortunately the key is encrypted but got my nexus 5 so woo!
You might be able to talk to the person who runs the keycards and get them to flash your phone but id highly doubt they'd let you do it.
