Motorola Skip on Other Devices - NFC Hacking

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.

SMS sound saying "nexus"

Hi,
i downloaded a cool sms sound from a site someday...but since my nexus crashed i lost the sound
does anyone perhaps have it and willing to share it with me ?
it was an sms sound saying in a computer like voice "nexus"
Search tool? Google?
This thread is unnecessary.
I don't have the sound though if that helps.
So... go back to where you found it and DL it again? Or use one of the dozens of ringtone downloader apps?
I think I have that file too , I remember I downloaded it from nexus one forums.
Edit: this one?

Why does some user always pop up telling someone that the thread is unnecessary? A thread like this ends up turning other users on to a ringtone that you enjoy. What's the harm?? This is a site with tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of threads. It seems such a waste of time (and very annoying) to litter so many threads with that comment. Let's just enjoy this place. An extra thread won't hurt and it might help.
Look at how many threads popped up the moment Google began selling this phone in the play store. It's like 10 duplicate threads. And look, xda didn't explode!
FWIW I'm now using this ringtone. Thanks!!

NFC Use through Lockscreen on Nexus 7 and Operating App In Front of Lock Screen

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

can s-voice speak text for confirmation instead of visual preview?

Hi.
S-voice seems to work more accurately for my "accent" than google's program so I've had a decent success rate with it for daily use this last week.
That said, I cannot tell whether this feature is available: when I ask it to send a text or email and give it the content, it asks me for a visual confirmation that it got the words right. is there a way to get it to speak back what I asked it to type up? I've spent last three days searching without luck, which suggests this doesn't exist yet so I'm just paying to obtain confirmation and closure.
Thank you for your time.
I found it strange it did not do this. Its almost all hands free up until this point if your using Bluetooth you have to look at your phone. Almost makes it pointless. I have not found away around it yet but I do agree it should read the text back to you.

Thanks for confirming. The one time I got google now to write a text message for me, it, too, did not repeat it outloud. Well, I just won't use that feature then, it's already gotten me in trouble with incorrect word.
I found a an application called "assistant" which sort of does it well, but it's just so.. rough. Always a compromise, isn't it?
Bummer.

what is the point of XDA Android app when you have tapatalk?

can someone please explain the point of installing XDA and XDA premium when I already can access XDA forum using tapatalk?
Seems to me that XDA just wanna some buck?
it's just like asking why superman wears his underwear on the outside.
user preference.
period.
XDA has real expenses like server maintainance,
with 4,000,000 registered users and 30,000+ people online,
they need some financial aid to help them provide you people the service,
XDA never forced you to pay a dime but have given you a tremendous amount of service,
i'd like to see you manage a server with 4,000,000 users and let's see how well you go

that's fine, I understand, I have no issue with XDA asking for donation or anything. But how is this an reason for an independent forum app? There are thousands of forums, many with millions of members and I am a member of many forums. I don't see the logic for me to download independent app for each of these forum if they each had one.

i never use tapatalk,
i use the xda app FYI,
it's XDA's project,
and from my point of view,
i find it pretty useful since i only have XDA as my active forum so why bother getting a 3rd-party app when you can download a version directly from XDA.

it's kinda rude, saying that XDA is doing it for bucks,
since they did this to provide users an independent forum app,
you justified the means without proper knowledge,
And to put it, Tapatalk is a paid app. And XDA offers free as well as premium app. So users who don't have Tapatalk has the option to get the free XDA app, if they have only registered on XDA for browsing the forums. Not many users are members of different forums.
i got both...but to be honest i only use XDA app now as this is the only forum i check. and if by me having the premium version helps support for the maintenance of the site, it is the least i can do for what i have learned from XDA over the last two years and the goodies that i have done to my phone to make it better
The reason? I find 1.50 € for learning english a very, very, fair price (i have both premium apps)

Reread your thread title and OP. Nowhere does it state that it's directed to people who use multiple forums, and you probably would have received different replies completely if you had made that clear. All you did was make the XDA app seem useless, which is wrong, because for people who only use XDA there's no point paying for tapatalk.

Personally, I don't see any difference between the two. They are identical to me, except that Tap can have multiple forums in it, obviously.
But I am having a problem with both and can't use any of the four forum apps I have purchased:
XDA Premium (phone)
XDA HD (tablet)
TapaTalk HD
TapaTalk 2
Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy to support the developers! I'm not bragging, but I have purchased about 300 apps in the last year and most of them worked fine without paying for them. I just wanted to make clear that this is not about complaining because of spending the money. I just sincerely want to be able to use them and I can't use any of the four.
What I mean by that, is that after scouring XDA and Google, I cannot find any help on how to view messages that I have received email notifications for, like when someone responds directly to one of your posts, or even when they post in a thread/forum you are Subscribed to.
I know that I can go into the XDA/TapaTalk (2) apps and go to:
LATEST >> PARTICIPATED
... But that doesn't take me to the posts that I have been notified about, like if I tap the link in the email and it takes me right to the message, ya know?
So I end up tapping the link and trying to view the messages in the browser on my phone, but since XDA does not have a mobile version of their web site, I end up double-tapping it to try to blow it up and then moving it all around the screen, back and forth, to try to read the message.
And of course, posting that way is Hell! It is very difficult to get it to go back up in the message and you can't even see a whole sentence, because it's blown up and the regular display is microscopic!
Does anyonne know how it is done? I love the concept of these apps, but I cannot believe that they would have left that sort of feature out, given that people would constantly be responding to posts they are notified about, right?
So I figure that I must be missing something. But I have looked at these apps for almost a year now (and recently purchased the new TapaTalk 2, hoping it had stuff the original doesn't) and I just can't find how to do this.
Does anyone know how this is done? Please?
Again, going to LATEST >> PARTICIPATED does not list/take me to the messages I am being notified about. The threads are in the list somewhere, I'm sure, but I'm hoping to do it like I do when I tap on the link in an email message. It would be really cool if you tapped on one and it opened Tap right to that specific message that you're being notified about!
I may have missed this answer somewhere in these forums, but I swear, I did scour them as best I could and I just cannot find this specific help! Nor did I find any help from the Tap folks, except how a forum owner could add their forum and a Google search produced the same result.
I apologize for the long message. I just wanted to make sure that I was absolutely clear, so that folks did not just guide me to "LATEST >> PARTICIPATED".
Thanks!!!

Big post.
So basically what you want is when you click on a link on any other app (mail for eg. since its giving you notifications). You need to clear all the defaults you have set around with your browsers. (do it from settings»applications»manage»here).
After that whenever you click on a link, it will show up a popup to chose the app to procede for the link. If the link is from xda use tapatalk (it'll take you to the post right away), if from other site, use your preffered browser. Again do not set anything as default as tapatalk cannot open other sites and you will need to clear the defaults again.
A Hero Can Be Anyone.
Dear Bruce Wayne,
Okay, I did what you said and it did not take me to the exact message. But it did take me to the same page, which makes it just a matter of scrolling down a few swipes up worth to scroll down to the message, which is certainly plenty good enough!
Plus, now I understand why this app's default posts per page is set to 10.
Thanks a bunch for your help, Bruce! I mean that! I can now, finally, use TapaTalk after a year of owning it! And that's because you took a few minutes out of your time to answer my question simply and plainly, without first assuming a certain level of knowledge on my part and I really appreciate that!
And I'm sincerely not trying to patronize you. As I said, I do mean that. It can be very difficult to get help, when so many people see a question as being "stupid" and you can't find anything on the web, ya know?
There was one thing I noticed though in the TapaTalk 2 app, which was that there was no option to "Quote" when responding (I wanted to quote a couple of sentences of you response when I replied).
Is there a trick to making it show that option that you know of?
If there isn't one, how would you know if it's responding to the message you're looking at on the screen?
Sorry to bother you again, Bruce! Last time, I promise!

Smart Remote fpr HTC One

So, I was just looking to see if Smart Remote had been updated to include something that they promised me would be coming up soon, and it was not there in my list of apps in the play store. Doing a Google search brings up nothing! Why am I posting here? Because this app was recommended by HTC, both on their blog, and in their recommended section in the play store! HTC has even deleted their blog post. I paid $10 for this app! Does anyone have an explanation? I'm feeling very ripped off right now, and I can't help but blame HTC, at least partially, as I only got the app because of their recommendation (which, to add insult to injury, they've deleted!).

Thanks, but try reading my question first. I was asking if anybody knew what happened. I already contacted the play store and got a refund, so that's not even the point of this thread.
Anyways, for anyone interested, there's an ongoing thread in the S4 forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351176

Its another remote but made by a different person?
