Custom programmed nfc tag ideas.

I bought some nfc tags from the good people over at tagsfordroid.com and took the weekend to program a few of the tags. I thought it would be cool to list some of the programs/actions people have programmed into the tags so others can get some good ideas.
Program: NFC Task Launcher.
Work tag:
~switch tag.
1. Get to work:
Disable wifi
set ringer type vibrate
set brightness to 26
disable bluetooth
2. Leave work:
Enable Wifi
Set Ringer type Normal
Enable Auto-Brightness
Ringer Volume 7
NFC on key chain.
~switch tag.
1. hotspot on:
enable portable hotspot
set brightness to 16
disable wifi
disable bluetooth
2. hotspot off:
disable portable hotspot
enable wifi
enable bluetooth
enable wifi
That's all i have for now. lets see what else everyone is programming into their nfc chips.

i also put an nfc tag by my calendar at my work to pull up my calendar app when i tap my calendar.

Put a tag on my car dock to turn off wifi, turn up ringer and media volume, and start pandora
Have one on my valet at home to turn on wifi and set ringer to vibrate

good article i saw that one when doing a search.
Just thought it would be cool to actually show the action items that were posted to the tags so someone could reproduce it if they thought it was a good idea.

has anyone figured out how to turn on and off an exchange account with NFC? I would love the tag that i use when i leave my office to turn on my exchange account mail so i can get my e-mail while im at home. I dont need it on while im at work because im in front of a computer all day and have access to my e-mail.

I'm sure that you could set something up using a combination of NFC Task Launcher and Tasker.
Also, while I'm tooling around trying different tags, It seems that placing tags on a metal background causes them to not work... I have had no success placing them on the side of the front door (metal door...) so I can touch it on my way out the door. Also all the desks and everything else for that matter is metal at work (Navy) so placing a "work" tag has proven to be rather difficult to accomplish successfully... May have to try different types of tags to see if there is success with another type.

Get metal isolating tags, they have an isolation layer between the IC and the surface you place them on so they work on metal. They are a bit thicker as a result.

place them on so they work on metal

There is a mod in the EVO 4g LTE and HTC one x forums that let's you choose when NFC can be read.
Screen on and unlocked,
Screen on and locked, or
Screed off (obviously locked)
I modded the phone to read tags when the screen is on and even if the phone is still locked. Allowing it to read while the screen is off may be a security risk for some.
Anyway,
On my keychain:
Switcher:
WiFi off, Bluetooth on, volume up, brightness up, latitude check in, plays media player.
This is great because it automatically connects to my car Bluetooth headset and the HTC aux stereoclip so music starts playing through my car speakers wirelessly via swipe of the keychain.
Tap again to disable all these and check in again w latitude.
I also have a separate tag in my car low on the dash to enable GPS and open maps so I don't have to fiddle w my phone througg the settings and open the app drawer to open maps. Makes driving that much safer. Also, I don't always use GPS, so having a separate tag for it from my keychain saves battery by using it only when needed.
Trying to set up a tag to enable WiFi tether for root users and stick it to my laptop/pc for quick swiping and enabling. But that has been tricky as you either have to use tasker or a custom activity in NFC task launcher.
Can't think of any others relevant to my interests. I don't see the need in making 38583983 tags. I definitely use the ones in the car tho.
I may order a wristband and think up something creative for it. Assigning a "sync all" activity would rock for it as I keep auto-syncing on my phone off and only sync email and such when I see fit.
Phew.

For the two of you who permanent contact?
For example, I have a car dock in my car. My thought was to put the NFC Tag sticker on the back of the dock so when I put my phone in the dock, it would obviously hit the tag and trigger my car settings (wifi off, bluetooth on, etc). Then when I removed the phone from the dock, I'd want it to trigger other settings (bluetooth off, etc).
Since the phone would be constantly against the tag, though, would it be continually triggering switches back and forth? Or would the initial switch trigger upon putting it in the dock, but in order to trigger the 2nd switch upon removal I'd need to move it away from the tag, then tap it back on the tag to initiate another trigger?
Thanks for your help. Trying to fully grasp how the NFC tags work.

With android there's no indication that a tag has gone out of "range" broadcast to the system. Essentially to get the tag to re-fire you'd need to either move out of range and then back in or turn the screen off (disables NFC) and then back on and unlock the device (restarts NfC and re-reads the tag).

Two important points
1) NFC doesn't usually work with screen off, so you either need to patched NFC.apk (for example AOKP b40 has this feature) - otherwise, everytime you switch on screen, it would trigger the tag again
2) there really is no way to trigger action on tag removal
I solved this (sort of) by having two tags - one in dock and other one that resets to "default" settings that I swipe after I leave. Not pretty but working...
Or you can set the actions as toggles, so one touch - set for dock mode, and second touch - revert back. But it obviously doesn't work for everything.

Simple solution to that, get an app that detects other hardware features so it can detect when its being moved, ie proximity detection, orientation.
You could also get a fabric nfc tag and sew it into your pocket?

I created a tag that does the following:
->Turns WiFi on
->Waits until I'm connected to my home WiFi connection.
->Sends a WOL packet to my desktop at home
->Wait 20 seconds
->Turn Wifi Off
So when I get home from work I can put my phone down on the tag and my PC will automagically begin booting

For the obvious uses, don't forget night mode - turn ringer off (or on, depending) turn off mobile data, connect to home wifi, etc.
If you just want to mess with tags, go to your local tmo or bestbuy store and pick up a pack of the samsung tectiles. They aren't as cheap as you get online ($15 for 5 vs $1-$2 each) but they are decently large and work just fine. Once you run out you know its time to order a bunch, and you'll probably have a better idea which ones you want to order.
As an old-school embedded hacker, does anyone know of a vendor that sells the DESfire E2V tags with a tag dev kit? I've got a bunch of ideas for cool apps, but I need to be able to modify the OS on the tag. (Take a look at the specs, its pretty neat. up to 32k of storage, with security etc, all running on an old Intel embedded CPU from the 80s.) The only ones I've found so far have the firmware distinctly read-only. I suspect it is using the on-chip ROM, which means it would take impossibly delicate surgery to replace. (There is a pin that toggles between booting on-chip and external.) In theory a dev kit would be set to external and come with a jig or other tool to write it, as well as OS binaries for the standard NFC OS..
As a random easy example of stuff you could do, think of a write-only tag that took vcards for a mailing list (or a roll call) but didn't let anyone but the authorized user read them out again. Right now you'd need to put a full embedded computer behind an active NFC module to do that - a lot more expensive and more failure-prone than a custom tag..

I think that without the command "IF" and "SWITCH" the use of this tags is too easy and useless.
Are these two commands available?

I had problems with double-reading when I'd fumble putting the phone in the car dock. It snaps into place the dock, and it would sometimes read when it got close to the dock, then again when it snapped into the cradle.
I put the tag on my sun visor instead. Sit down, touch the phone to the visor, put it in the car dock. Arrive at work, pull the phone from the dock, touch the visor, and go.
Same thing with my at work tag - I put it on the side of my desk so it wouldn't re-trigger if I removed the phone from my work dock to answer it.

Anything is possible with Tasker

You can definitely do "IF" commands if you use Tasker along with NFC Tags. Since Tasker doesn't natively support NFC, switch isn't a possibility, but since switch is built into many NFC apps, that's an easy one.

I programed my vcard on a tag and put it in my wallet.. Instead of exchanging info if they have an android or blackberry with nfc I just hold my wallet to their phone for a second and it will open the vcard on their phone and ask if they want to save it.
The tag is always in my wallet ready to go.
Surprisingly I've used it more then I thought I would already.. It's kind of fun also and people get a kick out of it.

Samsung Tec Tiles (NFC)

Reposted from Android Guys
http://www.androidguys.com/2012/06/13/samsung-tectiles-could-usher-in-real-demand-for-nfc/
from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I don't really understand what makes these better than NFC tags that you can get from Tagstand for much cheaper. Anyone got an answer?

How do you program them? Just wave it over your phone and do it off the phone?

They are normal NFC tags. They have not introduced anything new.
They are programmed using any NFC writing app. Once you have decided what action or content to write, hold the phone over a blank tag under the phone's NFC antenna (on the battery). The rest is quick and automatic.

Apart from them looking good, they are just like any other nfc tag, but more expensive, I wonder what size they are.
Right now I use these token coin type nfc tags cost only USD 0.32 each, the size is only 24byte usable memory, enough for basic toggle, alarm, phone adjustment functions.

They are available in carrier stores so people can get some instant gratification.

Their app will work with regular NFC tags as well. I played with it for a few minutes. I think I will stick with NFC Task Launcher.

Is Tagstand the cheapest place to get tags at?

i'm not sure what these are even needed for. the only thing i could possibly see using one for myself, is having one in my car to switch on bluetooth.

There are lots of potential uses. The one you mentioned, you could set up a "Do Not Disturb" iOS 6 style function for your bedroom, an airplane mode tag where that may be needed (on my bike when I get to work and put my phone away), etc.

You need to be more creative, that's all. Here are my uses so far:
1) One in the car dock (vzw) that enables GPS, disables Wifi and runs Car Home
2) One in my wallet that runs the Bank of America app
3) One at each entrance to my home (front and back door) that works as a switch. One tap enables wifi, connects to my home network, disables GPS and turns all volumes up, and a second tap turns off wifi and turns on GPS.
4) One on my desk at work that lowers the volume, enables Wifi and runs the clock app
5) One on my external speaker that turns the volume up to 75% and runs Pandora
6) One on a stand in the kitchen that will run a recipe website when I put the Nexus 7 on it (haven't decided which site yet)
Other cool uses I've heard of:
-Putting tags on spices in the kitchen that searches for recipes with each spice when you tap it
-Using it for Geo-Caching, so that when people tap it it automatically notifies you or posts to a website
-Putting them on business cards to share your contact info. Have people tap their phone to your card, rather than having to give them a card they will probably just throw away anyway.
-Bluetooth pairing (I don't have any BT devices currently)
The possibilities are endless, it seems, you just need some inspiration. These Samsung tiles look nice, but they are too expensive. Just get some from Tagstand or a comparable vendor.

Do I understand correctly that all I need are the tags and no usb reader/writers?

Wow, that'll take a hell of a lot of tags for most people, I would think Definitely a cool idea...it'd be nice to use it for inventory, even though that's probably something better suited for RFID tags.

Nope, just tags, nfc enabled phone, and a free app. USB has nothing to do with it.

I have one on the center console of my car. It would s set as a toggle.
Tap when getting in the car: bluetooth on, ringer and notification volume full.
Tap again: Bluetooth off, ringer and notification to vibrate.
I drive a Ford and this allows my phone to automatically connect with the Microsoft Sync system giving me Bluetooth control over calls and music with steering wheel buttons and voice commands. When I'm done in the car my phone goes silent so I'm not disturbed when in meetings.

interesting..how long does a tap take to register?
also can tags toggle wifi on/off? or are they just assigned to on or off?
and can a single tag turn wifi on, blue tooth on, max volume, and start a program?

Just a second!
Its up to the app you use to read them.
I personally recommend NFC Retag because it lets you use old, locked tags, has a ton of functionality, more everyday, a writer, and there is a free version!

awesome! thank you. so I know a tag can be used to turn on an app such as spotify; can it also be written to start a song from the app?
also do you literally mean a second?

Does the writable space really matter on these? What I mean is, can I just buy small 46 byte NFC tags and program them to toggle Tasker profiles?
EDIT: Apparently you can set a url to run any tasker task using this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5hbGVkdGhvbWFzLnRhc2tlcnVybGxhdW5jaGVyIl0.

I also use NFC Tag in every day use, like changing the setting of my phone when I come in/out of my home (Wifi, sound and cie).
I ordered my tag from TagStand and also use the app they build. This one is free since few weeks.
The tectiles from samsung are pretty expansive and the application they advice isn't as good as NFC task launcher...especially for the commutator mod (a tag can commut between to list of action..)

How to prevent phone locking when inserting into desktop dock

Hi Guys
I have just got the desktop dock and am pretty pleased with it. My headphones seem to work pretty well with it (with no amp) which surprised me and I like the rotated home screen.
All is good except for that fact that it locks whenever the phone is put in. You get the clock dock view and then have to unlock it to get to anything else.
On my Nexus One with the dock I am pretty sure you were able to configure what happened when you put it in the dock but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
It's pretty annoying. Is there any way round it?
Thanks

there is an app called screebl you could try. its a orientation based app that will keep your screen on unless you have it straight up or lying flat. The orientation is adjustable. Check it out.

Install app called Dock Nothingness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.geekherd.docknothingness) that will prevent the desk clock from coming up.
But the screen will still timeout and lock based on your security settings, always has (even with Nexus One).

Enable Car Mode?

So I just got my iBolt xProDock and was disappointed when I plugged in my phone and there doesn't appear to be a car mode. Is this something I need to enable or does Samsung no longer offer a car mode app that runs when plugged into a car dock?

I personally don't like car mode, and mine car dock is just a holder. I don't recall seeing anything in the apps list in Titanium Backup.
I saw on a Amazon review of the car dock (linky), iBolt offers one. If you got it an amazon, it should be free.
Usually car mode was enabled because USB plug in car docks had the pins to trigger it. When I looked in the settings, I did not see anything for Car Mode. On my Evo 4G, I could enable car mode without the dock dock since I could access it in the settings.
Worse case scenario, there are plenty of car mode apps, and I'm sure a few good ones that are free.

When you plug in the phone or will turn your main home screen into dock mode just like the is a pen mode and earphone mode. I bolt offers a free app that is actually quite nice that can replace the docking mode with a car mode or is available in the play store and can either be accessed like any app or at to be launched when you plug in the cable they provided

It is still in MA7, in the drop down menu, unless the end user took it off their drop down, if they did they can put it back, or go into settings and click on language and text/scroll down to text to Speech/enable driving mode from there.
If they took it off their notification panel, to put it back, simply hit Menu/Display/Notification Panel, and drag it back up to the panel, cheers

I'll have to try the iBolt app (or another free one), but I don't see that there is a Car Mode app on my phone anymore. The "Driving Mode" that is in the notification bar isn't what I'm looking for, I want an actual app to run when I plug my phone in that makes navigation, music, ect. easier to use when driving. I'll try the iBolt app tonight and leave feedback.

So the iBolt app is something like what I was expecting to have pre-installed on my phone, that'll work. Now just wondering if I'm missing a setting to make the app run automatically when plugged into the dock (like my HTC did) or if this isn't a feature that works on Samsung phones?

Driving Mode is not the same as Car Mode. Driving Mode just speaks email and text notifications. Rather than trying to find a dock with Car Mode in it, just get a few NFC tags, stick one on your existing dock, and program it to toggle Car Mode off and on. Easy Peasy.

The Note 2 doesn't have a Car dock Mode. That's been taken out by Samsung and it only has a smart dock mode so you'll need to do a couple of things.
First go into “Settings-Accessory” and select “Desk home screen display", now you'll need a car dock launcher like car home ultra (not all apps support Samsung's new dock mode) . Once you've installed a car home app go ahead and dock your phone on the iBolt and you should be given a prompt to choose your default down app. This video explains it all starting at 1:05

Desk Dock active notifications not working

Anyone with the desk dock notice that if you have it in "dock mode" where the clock displays always moving on the screen, that you don't get the active notifications?
I can only get them to come back if I make sure the "sleep" the phone so nothing is on the display.
This dock isn't anything special, its a universal dock with a small soft plastic insert molded to fit the bottom of the Moto X. Which is ok if you could buy other inserts for other phones... which I'm sure you can't.

yeah, crap dock. was a total waste of money. and yes, you are correct that there are no Active Notifications. i guess you can rely on Moto Connect through Chrome Browser. i dunno, but the dock is a complete waste of money.

The clock that triggers upon docking is the daydream feature. You can turn that off (Settings > Display > Daydream). Then your active notifications will pulse as normal. Alternatively, you can tap the screen when daydream starts and turn the screen off using the power button.
The desk dock also works with my Nexus 4. You have to pull out the plastic insert to use a Moto X with a case on it anyway. The dock is universal.
I believe your problems are now solved
Source: I own the desktop dock also.

Which dock are you guys referring to? The official Griffin dock?
