Hello guys. At my workplace, the doors now need a NFC Card to open. I Just want to know, can I make my phone a NFC card? For example: I won't need my card to open the door, I'll just need my smartphone.
Please, help me. I forget my card everytime

no, your doors likely run off the mifare system which is secure and unable to be emulated by a phone.

Hi
Here at the university we use a NFC card to check in. Is it possible to copy the tag to my phone so I don't have to carry my student card around?
Depends

Hi Samuel
I believe this is not possible right now, as there are security measures in place to prevent fraudulent use, but give it a couple of months there will be apps you can download , to copy re-writeable NFC tags to your phone, making your phone work as an emulator of some sort.

To emulate cards with your NFC phone, you have to have full control of the secure element. In the Nexus phones, access to the secure element is restricted to Google - only they have the codes to access it. In non-Nexus phones like the SGS2, they don't even have built-in secure elements and therefore have to rely on SIMs, which are in turn controlled by operators. Without access to the secure element, you won't be able to emulate another card. So, no, even in a few months you won't be able to copy a tag and emulate it from your phone. Unless Google opens up the secure element to, which is unlikely.
To OP: Even if you could actually copy the contents of the card and then emulate it, this might not be enough. Many schools use just the UID of the card to associate it with your account on their system. This means that there's a good chance that your card actually has no data on it. Furthermore, phones aren't currently able to emulate UIDs. You're out of luck.

Clearly, a direction NFC will follow. There's no way users will allow something like that to remain as neutered as it currently is. It just (seemingly) has not worked that way in the past.
thanks

Hi, I just downloaded some nfc reader app from the play store and discovered the phone reacted when I stick the gym I'd card at the back of it.
This card is usually used in order to enter the gym i go to every day (almost). I just have to place it close to a black box installed in the automatic doors and they get opened. I noticed I must place it very close in order to make it work.
Now, I'm not 100% sure it's this technology but if an nfc app is able to read it, o guess it is.
Now, my idea is to replace my Id card, which sometimes I forget, with my phone.
I want to ask if there is a way to make my phone store the nfc data in the card so when I go to my gym, I place the phone near this door instead and make the same function as with the card.
Is this doable? I'd need to read the card once store whatever is on it and then be able to transmit such info on demand.
I'm new to nfc but I'd like to see something like this.
Thanks!

Short answer:
No.
Long Answer:
Unless you know how to emulate the card's UID, you can't do it.
If your card uses the data stored non the card, which is not likely, you will have to find a way to emulate it.

I've sat my phone on top of a car and forgot it was there and now the car is gone and the phone is not there it's still on and working with cell signal but I don't have location services turned on please I need help locating it and it has a custom rom on it making it a i9505 so it wouldn't let me install plan b on it and activate location through text PLEASE REPLY SOON AS POSSIBLE this phone has very important documents and other things that I do not want to lose or erase! Thank you!
the phone most likely fell off unless you had one hell of a grippy case or it was in the bed of a pickup, I'm not too sure what you could do however, did you try scouting the general area of the car? do you have any backups?
The phone was found and in terrible condition... it was ran over a few times with the case on and it still didnt make it.Its destroyed but i did recover my sd card and sim card; i just cant get access to my internal storage which i really needed.

Have you tried hooking it to a computer?

lets say a nfc/rfid card for a job or apt is disactivated. Is there a way you can reprogram the card in anyway for it to be able to gain access again to those places?

Afaik, there is no 'activation' or 'deactivation' on nfc.
Afaik, again, the readers interpret what the card has written on it. Let's take opening a door. On the card you have an unique ID, the reader goes through a list of authorized IDs, and if yours is in there, it opens the door.
Via an NFC reader app you should be able to replicate any card you like, and I also think reprogramming is possible. If your ID is not allowed to cross a gate anymore, you would have to scan a tag which can and emulate it. This goes without saying, don't do anything illegal.
Also, there could (should) be some more layers of protection, like encryption of the data on the tag, which could prevent advanced editing.
Of course, these are my two cents, I may be ridiculously wrong.
