Hey does anyone know what the best nfc app is..I want to scan my credit card and then use it to pay for items at store with my phone..is this what NFC is for?
I also would like to scan my badge for work to get me into security doors..It would be nice to just put my phone up to door to get in rather than always pulling out my badge...does nfc do this and how??
Just wondering if all this is possible..sorry for the noob questions but running Jedi x6 and notice i have NFC on my device and can enable it....Thanks for anyone's help and if this has been asked before sorry...searched articles and couldn't find answer....Thanks again...

As for security doors even if there is an app it may not be something your employer would want you doing.

Yes you can as long as your not on verizon. Also the security door card readers don't do nfc.

You can't! Does your company run Google Apps? If so the admin for your domain can log in and remove the requirement for you otherwise you can't take it off.
Cant? of course I can I just need to know how.. The phone is rooted I dont imagine there is anything that "cant" be done
You have to override the "phone administrators" function to make that happen, I do not know of any ROM's that have that functionality though.

im on 4.0.3. Its lotus notes traveler but the apps works on android 2.0 and greater
There used to be an app to do this on Froyo, but I haven't seen anything like it since. I also would love to see this. I'm on 4.0.3 using exchange mail for company mail, security policy enforced with PIN of course - would much rather use slide to unlock or face unlock.
FYI as a workaround you can use Touchdown which enforces the PIN unlock when opening the app rather than unlocking the phone.

You could always just use the PIN and protect your work's potentially valuable IP. They're not just putting a PIN on your phone for fun...

I did not make the email.apk, but know how to do it, now that I finally know how to decompile it.
but take a look at this thread might find what you need, to be honest too much controversy in this one:

I do have read it before asking this question and I do know what wifi direct is and transfer files via wifi direct is available in Galaxy S II.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCEawDprnOQ
When enable the Wifi Direct in Galaxy Nexus, there is a notification asking users to touch for setting but there is no setting page like the Galaxy S II.

This means Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a build-in interface to send files via wifi direct?
Perhaps the option to send via wifi only is listed after you are connected to a device? Are you trying to do this between two GNexus'?

did you pressed search like in the video? from there u can search other deives after u activated wifi direct
EDIT: it seems u need a third party app to send files with the gnext..actually no app on the play store to do that...but i could be wrong
The wifi direct in 4.0.3 is buggy as ****, you do need a 3rd party app and i'm assuming that since there aren't many out there is because it's so buggy. A buddy at work here made a quick one and testing was bad, upon further investigation we found that there are a bunch of bugs in the google code.

WTF.....a semi-finished phone with no wifi-direct when pointed it as one of the main selling points and no noise cancellation
I am gotta mad about this "EXPENSIVE" phone.
So who do we bytch and moan to either fix the google code or to implement this feature in core android apps such as the Gallery and Play Music?
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good app for unlocking the tablet while connected to your home's WiFi? To be clear I would still like a lockscreen, but be to have it that when I leave home it goes back to being pin protected. I tried tasker but it can only disable the lockscreen completely, and while I would settle for that, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a solution! Thanks
Easy to do with Tasker. Best money you will spend if you dive into it. You can make your devices do anything you want.

I couldn't figure out how to make it only unlock but leave my lockscreen there (like it doesn't go straight to home screen when I press unlock button) do you know if that's possible ? I looked around rather quickly because if it didn't have it I wanted to be within refund period :S
Check out this link http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57478334-285/the-most-practical-creative-ways-to-use-nfc-with-your-android-device/ . Came across it on FB and just watching the vid showed some of the possibilities for the NFC chip and I think it will do what your looking for.
Seems interesting.. I think the main problem is that disabling security and and leaving lockscreen is not an option sadly so like, it's all or nothing :/ I could live with that I suppose haha but kinda sucks
Have you seen this app? It does exactly as you want and works great, I've had it, and its great

it doesn't support patterns, the only lock I use. PINs and passwords are too slow to enter every time.
Try "Settings Profile" on the app store. Similar to tablet but much easier to use. I use it to do exactly what you describe.

I'm going to treat myself to some NFC tags to see if that will do it
Edit: I knew I'd seen something somewhere http://lifehacker.com/5829514/unloc...om-tedious-phone-passwords-when-youre-at-home

It's basically a bunch of Tasker tasks already programmed. Taller is more powerful, but harder to learn.

Hello,
Bumping this since I'm at same point.
Find the OS must be Linux but nothing else. Would need a firmware to upload to the car which let me exit the MBUX software to check the OS and all files, any clues the readers ?
Dealer Mode?

I think the only way to activate it and bypass some securities is to go through the OBD.

From what I read it is an E-SIM.
Hello guys,
If this Mbux system is the new head unit on the A-Class I can confirm from an inside source that it is Linux indeed.
I cannot say much more since I am not directly involved.
As to eSIM, it most probably have such a thing. At least the previous systems (like the one installed on the E-class) have an eSIM. So I see to reason why this one shouldn't have one too.
All the best!

You are right, you can see the specs here : https://media.daimler.com/marsMedia...lance-The-key-data-on-MBUX.xhtml?oid=32705799
There are probably a lot of interesting things in it, but how.
The only way I see is through OBD.

Anyway to see the e-sim id? Currently in Canada and it appears Mercedes has a deal with AT&T but pricing for Canadian users is ridiculous.
Want to see if I can get it activated with another provider or what potentials options I maybe able to work out as I cannot share data from my phone plan in the car which is also a shame.
Guys.
I just realized there is a new feature on my phone.
I never allowed it to be installed, phone never asked if I wanted it and I have all updates turned off. All updates!
Stock, no root, Jan 2020 firmware.
You can find in under settings/google and it will be the very first position.
What is that?
How do I remove it?

It's something that was being developed months ago, it makes your device search for devices in the background periodically for potentially COVID-19 infected people.
If someone is infected, they have to report it on their phone and it flags other users around if you're near someone who had/has COVID-19 or not.
It uses Bluetooth

its a framework, it needs an app to work with it to be of any use . without the app from your local country etc it does nothing.

Its a framework. That means, apps sit on top on the frame ... like building a house, you need a base ( frame ) . This " Base" lets others build whatever house they want on top ... the actual "base" does nothing, how do I know... its a framework. if you are so paranoid, stop all you're google, amazon frameworks and see what happens, spoilers, your phone won't work. Next, stop all the frameworks in windows if you use that .. spoilers, it won't work ....then put everything into a box and leave it there
