Hello there,
is it possible to use my HTC One X as an NFC Tag?
My goal is to scan a normal NFC Tag (1k) with my phone and store the informations. And then I'll provide this informations with my phone, so an other NFC Reader can read the informations stored on my phone.

It is possible as the NXP chip most likely used by the HTC (and known to be in Nexus S/galaxy) can be put into card emulation mode but the current kernel does not support it. There has been at least one user that has gotten it to work on the Nexus S.

Hi i believe NFC ReTag will do the trick , or at Least NFC TagReader , can also be use as ask … but that will depend on what you will store in … as you didn’t say it ican’r help you more at this stage.
hope that help

I'd really like to do the same thing.. but haven't had any success in finding a way to do that. I would personally love to scan my work badge and use my phone instead of my badge which I commonly leave at home. It would also be great for hotels where I commonly lose my hotel key and could instead use my phone.
Any advice on these being a possibility. Any additional information I need to provide. I personally have the HTC EVO 4G LTE and my wife has the Nexus S 4G that I could use.
card emulation
try NFClassic.apk its in the android market, i cannot confirm it works but it appears to and i will test it tomorrow, it recognises my work card it picks up 2 tags, one will be door access and the other is canteen credit, (the app doesnt tell you this, but i know there 2 parts to the card, as i recently cancelled a card then found it, and can no longer access doors with it, but can still use it in the canteen) anyway the app reads the card and asks if you want to save the info, save it, the you will see it under saved tags click the tag, and click share tag, it then appears to emulate the tag as a card so it can be read by a nfc card reader, but i dont have a reader to confirm this, but i will try it tomorrow night at work to see if the doors accept it, ill let you know my results
and if anyone else know of any apps that can definatley emulate cards on galaxy s 3 let me know ! the more software i can try at work the more likely ill find one that works, i only got my s3 yesterday and have been of work so havnt tested any app, but NFClassic is the only one that appears to emulate my card.
note the app cannot write cards, only has options to write contact to card but when tried it force closes. i would definatly like to be able to write to card if at all possible ( free lunch copy card when it has credit , when run out of credit, re-write info = credit again its gotta be possible somehow ! )

NFC ReTag can´t do that ... but a lot of other cool stuff
I tried nfclassic and that didn't work I'm also looking for NFC card emulation
I'm not sure about other phones but Evo4GLTE's have Android beam that should do what is wanted
This didn't even occur to me til I saw this thread. I will be trying with my work badge since I occasionally forget mine as well...
I am still deciding between getting the S3 and the EVO 4G LTE. Leaning towards evo... but haven't played with the s3 yet.
I don't have your HTC, although there's documented info for the nexus s where devs were successful in emulating mifare most of the code is still on dev android. Its not full reigns of emulation but depending on your level of tech you can do some pretty cool stuff. I don't know how far this has gone but I remember people getting some functionality on new galaxy. Check out the link.

I was thinking the same thing!
The most "advanced" operations that i was able to do with the Galaxy Nexus were saving actions with differents cards. But that's all.
By the way, i use NFC ReTag to achieve it.
What I was just referring to was emulation how I perceived the op was looking for. Example you use a card at work to open a door and wanted to emulate that so you could use your phone instead. However with gwallet or say paywave then you'd need to have the secure key which obviously wouldn't just be given out otherwise you would be able to emulate anyone's card. Hence the secure element. Then it would be ridiculously insecure. Ex. If I took a friends paywave and was able to emulate it then now I in theory just stole their credit card . It's also why gwallet won't work without a secure element like on my sgs2.

anyone trythis
ive seen the video after flashing and kinda dissapointed
bcos they cannot prove that nexus s can be the nfc tag anyway they donk have the reader too to test it
Hmmm...
Hey guys.. i went searching in the marketplace for an app that does just that (emulate a RFID)...
And... I FOUND ONE!It's called NFC Classic Tag Reader
It was able to read my cards and apparently emulate it but i have no idea if it works cause my door does not detect it... and i have no other NFC devices...
I'm using a SHS-5120 door lock... and that only registers the serial no of the tags programmed and allows only those to enter...
Read on the comments that ICS users are not getting it to work but previous 2.3.3 user reviewed that it was working like a charm...
Oh and i'm using a S3... which of course is ICS...
I reckoned Google Wallet will store something into the mobile NFC chip. Make the phone like a RFID card or tag.
I also noticed some Korean telecom operators has their apps integrated on the Android phones which have the Membership card, Voucher, Credit card etc. functionality. That means the NFC enabled phone can be acted as RFID card or tag.
Is there anyone know where we can find the source code sample from Google development website we could look into this kind of project?
We have HID sensors on doors at work as well as a clocking in system and both use different cards so I'm going to have a go with them on Monday with my SGS3.

any luck with doors?
Anyone any luck with being able to push/publish his phone as a card? Like for instance with doors?
We have Mifare Classic cards which open doors, reading the card isn't a problem, but being able to emulate your phone as a card has proven to be more difficult..
How does one turn his phone into 'beacon mode' (being able to receive the door's power boost and return card info) ?
Is there some way to copy one RFID NFC tag to another blank NFC tag with the SGS3?. I have 2 active NFC tags that I would like to mess around with and see if I can actually copy them and get the same access as my authentic ones offers.
So down to the question. Is it possible to copy the entire contents of an NFC chip and write it to another one with an app, and in that case which one?
bump* I'd like to know as well
copy a tag
"NFC Smart Q supports reading or copying a tag"
I just read this, didn't use this app.
There must be more nfc apps in Google's android shop, doing this trick.
I cannot post links, i'm sure you will find it.

Depends. If it's a tag without any protection, yes.
If it's a tag with crypto, such as most RFID door entry systems, contactless credit cards, subway cards - no, they're intentionally designed to prevent such things. (Specific systems may have been hacked, but in general, these are not copyable.)
"Not protected" means I can edit them as I want right??
So if I can solve the encryption manually than I can change my info on my NFC card with the help of my cellphone.
Is that right??

Hello,
I am new at nfc so please do not judge me
I have one question:
It is possible to write dokumrent path in nfc tags for example:URL.
but on the path will be security level as:
login
pasword
And after you type your login and password it is automatically opened your dokument.
I was tried to write this way, but after I type login and password the link is not active longer and I have to search manually the document in my data base.
Waiiting fot you answers
For any information I would be thankfull.
P.S. It is possible to do this with my samsung galaxy s3?
Hi,
I am about to develop a mobile apps check -in event using NFC tags.
One of the problem we encounter is about the permanent lock.
We had try the factory reset feature by using Tag Writer application, then apply permanent lock feature on the tag.
As far that we know; once permanent lock is applied, the tag cannot be unlock or even become factory reset.
Why is it that particular tag with permanent lock still can be write with new action and even be cloned?
What is the function of permanent lock on this tags? Can it protect the written data?
May I know what is the constraint of using NFC tags?
Please respond to this, since i am NFC rookie..
Best Regard, Thank You
ummm
if youre asking WHY they have perm write protect on some tags, its because they dont want people rewriting public nfc tags with garbage do they ?
I read somewhere that it actually burns out a track to the writable area, which is why you cant reverse it. but if your app is just for checking in, why are you write locking tags ?

Thank for the heads Up..:good:
Actually why i wanna lock the tag is because we wanna put unique ID in each tags, so other people cannot overwritten it.
In your opinion is it possible to do that?

each NFC tag already has a unique UID if im not mistaken
why dont you make your app use that ??
then you can use the tags for other things too
Introduction
So a few months ago I got my first NFC implant in my left hand, I haven't been able to find a thread for those of us who have them or much information on them apart from the basics.
So here it is.
*UPDATE*
Did you know I gave a talk on NFC implants at The March Of The Droids Conference?
You do now, so here's the video

What You Should Know
It's virtually painless to have them implanted
They should last a life time
The implant itself is about the size of a grain of rice
They can be removed easily if needed
They are smaller than standard NFC tags and therefore have a smaller range, on my note 2 it took me a while to find the spot I had to place my phone (the center of "SAMSUNG" on the back), however a week later I was able to get it straight away
They only have a small amount of storage, if you want to use it for longer or multiple links etc a url shortener is probably your best bet, however it can handle " my name, phone number, email address and facebook page"
You can feel it under the skin, but cant see any lump etc
Work or UNI cards can't be copied over to it however as the implant is Miifare compatible, my IT department at uni were more than happy to scan my hand and add it to the system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
General Uses
Unlocking phones
Miifare authentication
Logging in to Windows
Passing information such as URLs and contact details without the need for social media or email etc
Launching Tasker profiles
Opening Apps
Unlocking Samsung EZON digital locks
Activating Cyanogen Profiles
Anything you can use a NFC tag, RFID tag or Miifare card for!

In Android
Unlocking your device
Prior to Android 5.0.0
By default in android, NFC is turned off when your screen is off or the device is locked, to enable a NFC implant to unlock a stock lock screen their is a Xposed Module called "NFC LockScreenOffEnabler" which allows NFC polling without your device being unlocked or if you so desire your screen being on as well. This module also includes the ability to select tags that can unlock your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5.0.0 +
With Androids new smart unlock you can set your device to unlock with nfc without the need for root and Xposed, to set this up all you need to do is navigate to:
Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted Devices
Then simply tap the + icon, select NFC and scan your implant.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
with either method once you have done this all you need to do is to do is to scan your tag whenever you are at your lockscreen and your device should unlock for you
Sharing links and contact details
This is possibly the most simple use for an NFC tag and can be achieved through most nfc apps, I favour PLAY STORE: NFC Tools.
once the app has been installed, open it and select the "write" tab, select "add record" and then either URL or contact depending on your needs.
URL:
after selecting URL from the add record screen all you need to do is to select your URL scheme from the drop down menu the will usually be either HTTP:// or HTTPS:// and then enter the remainder of the url in the text box to its right.
I usually use a URL shortener such as goo.gl as the implants have limited storage capacity.
Select ok and the on the following screen select "write" and scan your implant. Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Contact details:
after selecting contact from the add record screen you will see a simple self explanatory form including: name, company, phone number, email and website. after entering all or some of this information, select ok and the on the following screen select "write" and scan your implant. Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once these have written, scanning your implant with any nfc enabled phone should either open the URL or add the contact details to the devices contacts
Sharing Social Media App Links
You want someone to be able to scan your implant and their Twitter or Facebook app open to your profile? If you were to set it up so that upon scanning the app was opened straight away this could cause issues if they did not have said app, they would be instead directed to the play store and the link would be lost unless they installed and re-scanned your implant. However Android allows an excellent way around this.
Start by navigating to the "Write" tab in NFC Tools as above in the "Sharing Links" section
Select "Add Record" followed by "Social Networks"
Select the network of your choice and in the next screen enter the username associated with the profile you wish to open
Hit "write" and and scan your tag
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now when some one scans your tag instead of opening the link in either the app or their browser it should instead give them the choice to open it with any applicable applications
Opening mifare card controlled doors at work and uni etc
simply put the only way to do this is to speak to your IT department, if they are ok with it they will scan your tag with a reader and add you to the system. mine were more than happy to accommodate and the entire process took less than 2 minutes. not including the time it took to answer all the usual questions "why, how and what?". you should immediately be able to start using it.
PSA: It is highly advised that you check with your IT department first as to the type of Mifare they use, NFC implants use Mifare Ultralight which may not be compatible with your system. Also any other method of using your implant to open doors etc may violate your companies security policy, please be smart and only do this through your IT department.

The two apps I use for day to day use of my tag are: PLAY STORE: NFC Tools and PLAY STORE: Dangerous NFC
NFC Tools comes with loads of features, not just useful for implants but for all NFC tags making it simple to read and write to your tag a wide variety of records, simply select the type of record you would like e.g. URL and it brings you up a wizard to complete your record.
Dangerous NFC however ensures your implant cannot be locked permanently and allows you to set a 32 bit password to stop others unlocking your tag

Where can I get one?
The implant I have is a NTAG216 from Dangerous things and can be bought here and will set you back £60 GBP, $100 USD or 80 Euros. These come in a sterile injector assembly and also come with a bottle of chloraprep skin prep, sterile surgical gloves, bandages a gauze pads. Most piercing studios however should already have these things.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Getting it implanted
Dangerous Things offer a map of piercers that are competent in the implantation which can be found here and also offer training manuals and videos on the implantation procedure for piercers who have not done it before. as well as a guide for approaching a piercer new to implants, the following is an excerpt from that guide
Print out, in color if possible, the two pro guides from http://dangerousthings.com/pro-guide, specifically the Introduction to Implantable Transponders for Professionals, and the Professional Guide to 2x12mm Transponder Installation documents.
Call local piercers in your area to schedule an appointment to simply come in and talk about a specific piercing you want. Do not talk about the implant or go into detail on the phone, just say you’d like to talk to them before you decide to get a piercing. They should be happy to have you come in and chat.
Go to the shop with the printed documents. Bring the product with you, but do not expect to get it implanted that day. The best you can expect would be to hand over the documents for the piercer to review at a later time, and have a short discussion about what it is you want implanted and why. If you’re lucky, the piercer will be ok with it and you’ll get an implant done that day.
Plan to visit multiple shops until you find one willing to perform the procedure.
If we can help in any way, let the piercer know we’re available for free phone consulting and advanced Q&A, just contact us via the website and we’ll call them.
When you get a piercer to perform the install, please let us know who by sending us an email, submit our contact form, or ping us on Facebook. We’d love to get their information so we can upgrade them to a full partner and list them on our partner map!
I can't fault this advice in the slightest however I would add that a piercer who is familiar with micro-dermals as implantation
The procedure itself doesn't take more than a minute and simply involves injecting the implant under the skin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For now that's all, if there is anything you think I should add or have any questions feel free to ask
*UPDATE*
See the video in the first post to hear my full implant story
I'll lead by example and share my story first, after seeing an article on Biohacking about a year ago I took an interest and started looking for ways to add tech to myself in a more sterile/surgical way than I had seen many people do.
I found a company who sold NFC NTAG216 tags encased in bioglass about the size of grains of rice and preloaded into a syringe like injector assembly, so after months of pondering I contacted my local piercing shop (very good/clean) and proposed the idea to one of the guys, he loved the idea and agreed to do the implantation after reading the training manuals etc.
a week later my parcel arrived from across the pond, all very sterile and included loads of extras like gauze, plasters and Chloraprep.
heading back down to the piercing studio, he took a look at the injector and we spoke about it for about 45 min whilst he marked up placement in my left hand and then he did it, I was expecting a massive amount of pain but it actually only hurt about as much as an injection and a minute later it was done leaving only a red dot behind to show something has ever actually broken the skin.
I now use mine to unlock my Note 2 after installing an Xposed module that allows you to detect nfc whilst locked another great use is to send people links without having to involve email or social media etc, just copy it to my hand and pick up their phone and it opens
Where could I get one done at, and what kind of things do I need to know before I get one?

No it does not affect payments in any way
Today is one week since I got mine put in. It's going fine, I didn't lift weights this week or even play much guitar (killing me).
However, mine migrated a bit. I rewatched the video after the piercer put it in, and realized he inserted the needle a little far back to begin with. Shame on me for not rewatching it right before I went in to get it done. He watched the video, read the manuals (according to him) but he also kinda had an "all-knowing, I know what's best, I've been doing piercings for 20 years" personality.
So mine has migrated towards the back. One end is kinda close to that trapezoid bone and near my thumb bone. It's still within the fleshy part and I haven't had any pain. I'm thinking it will be fine, because even if it was close it's still sitting ABOVE the bones and shouldn't interfere with anything, right?
I guess it could always be removed if it ever caused issues. Trying not to be a hypochondriac, you know? I think it's fine. How was placement on yours?
I'm trying to figure out a door lock right now. I can't replace anything at my apartment complex, so the Samsung Ezons are out of the question. I don't like them anyways, aesthetically. I want the outside of my door to look stock. The options that mount onto existing deadbolts from the inside are all BLE and WiFi. I wish there was a Z-Wave (if you know what that is) NFC/RFID reader. With that set up you could read the tag and send a command to a lock that's Z-Wave compatible as well which would unlock the door.
What're you doing with yours? Since I installed this I'm committed to the technology now lol.

I just got the xNT implanted two weeks ago, awesome little piece of future. Talked a med student buddy of mine into doing it.
Tried to embed my video here, but I can't since this is my first post.
I've decided to ditch the Samsung and go with an Arduino DIY lock using the RC522 as the actual reader. So far I only have a "electric door strike" type of lock, but I think I'm gonna find some kind of electric deadbolt on ebay.
If anyone has an alternative to the RC522 reader that is more compatible with the cylindrical form factor of the tag, please let me know :fingers-crossed:

How has yours healed? Any migration? Mine moved a bit and is further back than I'd like, but it's still within the webbing and don't think it'll cause any issues.
That little arduino reader looks sweet. I've never got into coding anything like that. I know I could figure it out but would honestly prefer to just buy something. Either way, could you keep me updated?
You running NFC LocksreenOffEnabler? It works sweet with my N5. Paired with the Knock Code module with lines and taps hidden, the lock screen is completely blank. Pretty nifty, anyone who would pick this up would have absolutely no clue how to unlock it.

Yes, more or less completely healed after 13 days. Mine has. not. moved. at. all. I'm a bit surprised actually. The guy who did it, did a good job pushing the needle past the final resting place, then pulling back a bit before injecting. This made a nice pocket for the tag to rest in.
Arduino is pretty easy, I had no prior coding experience. You can get finished or almost finished scripts for all kinds of ****. I'll post when its done
Not using my tag with my N5 (yet). I have a ballistic case, which is pretty thick. I can still read it quite consistently but it's not ideal imo. Damn son, blank lockscreen is frisky

That sounds pretty sweet. What are you using for the knock code? I presume it isn't a stock lockscreen for n5

Grab Knock Code Xposed module. All it does is change the stock pattern security to four knock boxes like the G3, so set a pattern before enabling it. I like this setup because it's still stock. I don't like aftermarket lock screens, they always feel cheap to me.
At first it'll have 4 sectioned off boxes that flash when you knock them. Hide the grid and the flashing and it's completely invisible to anyone, but you knock it like normal. Long press any box to reset the pattern if you **** up entering it.
This is the slickest setup I've used. Attached is a photo of my lock screen and a photo of the message it gives you after long pressing.

Do you have any info permanently written to your tag? I had to freeze Tags.apk so I didn't get the empty tag message pop up after every unlock, only thing is disabling that affects the the NFC sounds. Wish there was a way to keep vCard info on the tag without it triggering every time on unlock.

Ahh I think that's about right, I've never had any issues with this placement.

NFC LocksreenOffEnabler has the ability to stop the sounds
I have "bad://access/development" permanently written to mine as I use locale with Tasker and this means you don't get the pop up when you scan it.

Freezing Tags.apk in TiBu gets rid of NFC sounds, regardless of the settings in NFC LSOE, weird bug I guess.
I was referring to something else written to the tag, like a vCard or Tasker task, or url. If you have that line written and something else written following it, it'll still launch the second thing, ya?
I wish there was a way to unlock the phone and not have the other info be scanned until scanning the tag again with the phone unlocked.

Not in this case the bad://access/development command means your tag will only work with locale and Tasker. So anything else written to it would not do anything
Your best bet for this feature would be to drop a message on the support thread for NFC LocksreenOffEnabler. I bet it could be an added feature or another solution could be found easily

I'll drop a question there myself
I asked for you, I'll post here if I get a reply

Ya, thanks. I was subscribed to that thread anyways. Someone did ask a similar question before I think, but it never got answered. I may ask too, the more the merrier.
Have you checked aliexpress? There are electronic deadbolts on there. However, I was thinking about all this recently, and I really think the best and most versatile solution for our implants would be Z-wave.
Don't know if you're familiar with it, but Z-Wave is a home automation protocol. Right now, this (https://benext.eu/shop/product_info.php?products_id=44) is the only RFID reader that's Z-Wave compatible, and it's ugly as ****.
You can make a little Rasberry Pi Z-Wave compatible with the RaZberry module. I don't know how to work with any of that stuff. If we were able to make a Z-Wave compatible RFID/NFC card reader, that would open us up to just about anything imaginable. That way, you could set up a reader built into the wall outside that would trigger a Z-Wave deadbolt to open the door, stick another reader by your light to turn on/off lights, one for the coffee maker, etc, etc, etc.
This seems so much better than making a dedicated system for every single thing you want the tag to work with.

I don't follow, why would I want a reader next to my light switch so I could turn my lights on etc. Surely I could just use the switch. Etc I don't see an advantage to these things apart from the deadbolt
