(Q) How to test the NFC?

In here, there isn't Google Wallet payment nor any kind of NFC payment.
How to test the NFC?
Is there any NFC transmitter thing that we can order for testing?
I live in the Netherlands. I have never heard NFC being used here.

I've used this to test my octopus card

Thanks. Lucky I still have some octopus cards from my trip to HK.
I read some tags with no problem, but some cards even though detected, it said not supported and cannot store data.
And I don't want to mess up with the other octopus card because it still contains some money.
Hmm...

the GNexus currently can only read pre-formatted tags IIRC
you might want to check out the Apps/Themes section as there is a bunch of NFC stuff over there (just search NFC)

Can a device be used as an NFC tag?

If so, can I copy the code from a certain tag and have my device replace the tag?
Here is what I mean:
Let's say I am in a hotel where they use cards with NFC to unlock the doors. Can I use a special software to copy the code found in the NFC tag inside the card and then have my phone "project" that code with it's NFC capabilities? The result: Unlocking the hotel door with my phone.
I am generally speaking.
Thanks,
Oren

Think there's an app for that.

And that app might be...?

There seems no APIs for notifying detection of external RF field to apps. So, probably it's impossible.

I don't know what exactly you want to do,but this URL should put you on the right track not to mention it works great.DL Check out Samsung ezon door locks, they use NFC and the link below is Samsung's way of letting you clone the code to your phone so it can be used instead. Works over RFID, now remember say a work card or hotel as you said. Well unless the hotel happened to have 0 security for encrypting or shielding there RFID unlock code in this case, similar to the defcon hack. Then it would not be as easy to implement. So yes it can be done providing you have access to the master key in effect or there isn't any security. Things such as gwallett as everyone knows uses the secure element in our phones to keep someone from getting someone elses wallet info.

App to Clone or Store NFC tags?

is there any known apps that can essentially clone an entire NFC card, just wondering because i keep losing my Transit cards which are MiFare Classic 1K and would like to have the ability to clone my card and use my One XL to rebroadcast the Cloned data

No, you will need the keys to the embedded secure element. Or ask google wallet to implement it, what they will not do

Ask your public trasportation company to offer that. The French contractor of an overground tube here in my city offers nfc cards while the bus company offers the pay per sms way. Putting them together I'd have a rechargeble nfc app for all public means.

Meenova SD card Reader

So I backed Meenova SD card reader when they first came out and I have gotten a chance to play with it now. So far. I like the capabilites that it has.
Price: $12
Its priced adequately and for those that like to store large files ( movies, music, videos) it's well worth the price.
Fuction:
the Meenova Card Reader allows you to read any micro sd card on a tablet or phone. This is especially useful if your tablet or phone does not have removable memory.
My uses:
I work in cell phone sales and this will allow me to transfer files such as contacts videos pictures much easy to certain phones that don't have removable memory. I also want to take videos that I take with my GoPro and transfer into my tablet so I can edit them and upload them much faster than I will on my laptop.
Using it:
In order to use it on your Nexus device you have to download a Nexus media manager for $3.99. It's well worth the price for being able to download and stream your video right of that the card on a non rooted Nexus. Although I did have to pay for an application, I do believe that it's a software issue with Nexus not necessarily the card player. Overall it is a perfect buy.
My opinion:
Overall I think its a phenomenal by for being able to transfer pictures movies videos contacts etc between devices with removable memory and non.

I haven't tried writing to it yet so I didn't know it wasn't allowed. And I was doing so good stock lol. I guess it's time to root it lol.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, stickmount is highly recommended. I use it with my OTG cable and connect it to both flash drives and my 2TB external HDD.
Works flawlessly! Give it a try, it's free!

I'm not sure. I don't have a 64gb card.

I also have the otg cable and is fine for the controller and a fast data transfer, but for watching movies I guess this is much better and confortable.
I guess I'm gonna get one.

Which format is supported depends on the device and SD card, see stickmount: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400034
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Waiting for mine. I only preordered so hoping it ships soon. I have an otg cable, but on long card rides I can just load up a few movies on an sdcard and plug the meenova in. Much better for my son instead of having the otg cable hanging or me having to keep on transferring files back and forth.

was checking my pre-order of 28 august (no kickstarter backing) and saw this on the site:
Pre-order shipping will start on September 18th. We expect to clear the backlog of all pre-orders by September 30th.
So it will be shipped soon now

Sure hope it ships soon. Going on a month now with no notifications....let's hope they don't rush and skimp on production quality.

I have mine and it doesn't seem like they did. Although you can tell it's the first official batch. It had worked great though.

I was a backer and got it a few weeks back so sit tight if you have not received yours.
Does anyone know how to switch the reader out of read only mode? Mine has gone into it and I cant use it now

Did your microsd card can be written in your other reader like normal USB reader?

Did the Tmobile employee break my sim tray

My sim card doesn't pop out when pushing forward on the card, so doesn't have that spring to it. I noticed the kid selling me the phone was trying to put the sim card where the memory card goes. I have to use tweezers to remove the card, this can't be right.

Mine doesn't pop out either neither does sd card. I guess that's the way these are built. Not like the note 2

They redid it to make it tighter.less chance of sim or sd moving

Yeah, when putting in my sim and sd card, I didn't notice any spring load thing. It just simply slid in.

That makes no sense, it's difficult to get the sim card out.

This. I never have to take the sim card out of my phone unless I buy a new phone. Since I'm not fortunate enough to buy a new phone every week, then the sim isn't much of a concern.
However, I am a little bummed about the SD card slot not being spring loaded. I do take that out every so often to transfer transfer things to it. Maybe the USB 3.0 connection will help with that. It might make up for the fact that MTP is so slow.

I thought I was the only one! my sim card just wouldn't come out and the only way I could get it out was to use a threading needle to nudge it out slightly, then slightly "stab" and pull it out. I thought I had a defective device and it only bothered me knowing that if I were to ever sell it, I would have a defective feature to list.

I never take my aim out anyways

It was the same thing with the Note 2. A pencil eraser will side it right out.

It's actually for replacing the S-Pen tip, but if it also helps you take out the SIM card then that's just an added bonus
