I'm working on an NFC related project for my company and I had a couple of questions that I was wondering if any of you guys could cover:
1) Does Microsoft/Google have requirements for what NFC standards are required? For example, The Nexus 4 has a chip that doesn't fully support MIFARE, so am I to assume that the ISO 18092 standard must be supported since that is technically the definition of NFC?
2) I hear that the NXP chip is currently in android handsets, except for the Nexus 4. Is it the PN 512 chip?
3) Does anyone know what NFC chips are in the Windows Phone 8 handsets?

Required for what? NFC Standard is defined by the NFC Forum. NFC is 18092, Mifare is 14443-3A

yeah i have lunarglide 3 and sensor. i want to use it. =(
+1 for nike+ on android.
I looked into this (Also a Nike+ and Atrix user), unfortunately I don't think it's possible because Nike+ isn't bluetooth, ANT+ (in which case our phone doesn't support it either) and mostlikely uses a proprietary protocol/frequencies for communicating with the foot sensor. Also, Nike signed an exclusive contract with Apple so, while they could create an Android App & some receiver device they won't....Unless they want to lose their lucrative deal with Apple
Also, your GPS is built into the phone and doesn't cost you anything if you have a data plan to get Google Maps. You don't need to pay for it to AT&T (They basically just tell you where your family is, which you can do for free with Latitude)
The few viable solutions that I can see for treadmill running (which is the case why you couldn't use the GPS solutions abundant on Android) are:
Garmin 405 (or similar) watch + footpod sensor which runs ANT+
A Sony phone which has ANT+ which you can pair with footpod and ANT+
MotoActiv which has ANT+ and can be used with a footpod and ANT+
What you really want, that doesn't exist (to my knowledge) is a bluetooth cadence sensor and an Android App to convert the candence information into human readable data like Nike+
^+1
Nike+ will probably never see support for the Android.
I would even buy an alternative to nike + as long as it were as intuitive and as easy to use. Nike + for android +1
You can allways go with the nike sportband

GPS is a free service that is built into your phone you don't need to subscribe to some navigation app.
Hello
It is possible to use a nfc scanner in the Samsung Galaxy S3 to scan microchip that like in our pets? I try to scan a one of the microchip, but phone don`t do anything with it. It not giving any information or "beep" - connection sound. It is possible to scan it with any software?
As far as I know those are LF RFID chips. Maybe there are newer types who operates on HF (13.56mhz).

You will likely have little luck there. RFID implants for animals have been around since the 1990s and there are several incompatible product lines of them (each requiring it's own reading device). Those implants are merely transponders in the 100 kHz range. They are designed to be powered up by the reading device and just beam back the serial number, they have in their ROM. NFC, builds on RFID, but is standardized. It allows two way communication and larger tags can hold several kilobytes of data. The bigger datastorage mandates that data is exchanged at a higher frequency (10 MHz range) in order to do it in the same time. Different frequencies require different antennas. Different antennas mean more hardware cost. So ... there you have it.

Ok, and what i must do to read it?

To read it with you NFC phone: Nothing, can't be done. Those tags would need to work with 13.56Mhz.
If you want to read it, buy the corresponding RFID reader.
Does anyone know where I can find NFC tags with more than the tiny 150b available in the NTAG203?
I'm looking for ones that are compatible with all devices, so the mifare ones won't work.
I read a press release from a company called Inside Secure that said they made 2K NFC tags that were type 4 compliant, but cannot find any of their tags anywhere.

Desfire EV1 2k, 4k, etc should work and are available in small quantities.
Will they work with SGS4

Desfires should work with the S4 (it's using the Broadcom controller which supports Type 4 tags). Otherwise you can find 512 byte Topaz tags.

DESfire EV1 tags. Plastic card size, I purchased one of the 8kb ones and yes it works on S4.
Hi,
I was trying out some Mifare 1K tags on my 5X and discovered that they don't work. So apparently the phone doesn't support them but since the NFC chip PN548 that the phone uses supports them, I was wondering if there is any way of enabling them. Any solution is acceptable even if it requires root.
Hi all,
I have a project in mind where I would like to have the equivalent of the NFC Chip in my android phone, externally, separate to the device.
There are of course external readers/writers which connect to the phone using Bluetooth, I'm talking about an NFC Chip itself. Is there something out there that would meet this requirement?
Essentially I'd like the convenience of an NFC Chip, running through Android (for Android Pay, e.t.c.) just in a device other than my phone. Probably connected via Bluetooth?
