I just bought my fist pack of NFC chips with 888 bytes of writable memory. I'm wondering if there are any cool tricks to do with NFC other than just programing task.
I also have a keychain, any tips on what to carry on it?
I know the one of turning your computer on with tapping on NFC, any other ones?
Yeah, Google them

Now that i have your attention........i was playing around on play.google and i found an nfc program that will allow you to repurpose an old nfc tag...well i got to a-thinkin...., my kids have the game "skylanders" for the wii and computer... now if you dont know what skylanders is, it is a video game with NFC figurines that have special powers. You place the figures on a NFC reader called the "portal of power"...moving on. i was thinking "hmm....i was not able to read these before, so i wonder with this program can i read these figurines. Now mind you i had installed an inductive coil into the battery cover of my phone...I installed the program and grabbed one of the figurines and low-and-behold IT WORKS!!!!! the inductive coil does not interfere with the NFC coil....just thought y'all wanted to know...

Thats cool. Any pics of how you have the coil on your cover? Stock back cover?
^this
yeah its the stock battery cover, and i just taped it on with good ol' fashion electrical tape. i believe in my other thread i show the inside of the back cover and the out side of it.
On a side note, were you able to read them? I've been using NFC TagInfo and am 0 for 5 trying to scan various things that I know have NFC/ RFID.
Lol spyro???
And it would be cool to have an rfid reader for the phone

I'm thinking about picking up a few NFC tags to setup around my dorm. From the little amount of research I've done, I believe NTAG203 NFC tags are the more current standard that is compatible with newer phones, including ours, and that 1K tags are an older type that may/may not work with the Moto X.
Is anyone using NFC tags already with our phone? Does anyone have any comments on how NFC might affect battery life?
These tags are the ones I would most likely buy: http://www.amazon.com/NFC-tags-Writ...y-Back/dp/B00CE3IC74/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
My NFC is on all the time. I have tags in my car, at home, at work and on my key ring. I do not notice any battery drain.
I bought these ones off of ebay.
"10pcs NXP NTAG203 NFC Stickers w/ RF Shielding, for NFC phones, Nexus 4/7/10" (XDA will not let me post the link to the Ebay since I am a new member)
They were $9.99 + $0.79 shipping.
These ones work on metal surfaces. Pay attention to the ones you buy if you are going to stick them on anything metal. The standard NFC tags do not work on metal surfaces.
I went for the Moto skip, since I figured what the heck. It comes with 3 NFC stickers and a colored NFC tag (colored of your choice, of course) that attaches to clothing with serious magnets. Pretty cool - going to try it out tomorrow but it's cool unlocking it without using a power button.
I love my NFC tags. I've had my moto less than a week so I'm not sure about battery life. lm using : NFC tags - NTAG203 Chip - 10 Pack (amazon)

Any Type 1 or Type 2 "universally compatible" tags will work with the Moto X. NTAG203 Tags are the most affordable of those, but only have 137 bytes of usable memory. This is plenty for most task launching applications, but for some things like creating a full vCard (electronic business card) with all your info you might need more memory. Topaz 512 Tags have almost 450 bytes of usable memory and are also fully compatible with all NFC Devices including the Moto X.
Of course we have NTAG203 and Topaz 512 Tags/Stickers at AndyTags.com as well as NTAG203 Key Chains, but many other stores have them as well.
NFC uses VERY little power and has almost no affect on battery at all.
How many instructions can one 137 byte NFC tag hold at once? e.g. turn off WiFi, turn ringer to full volume and send a text message. Is that capable?

I got some NTAG203 tags from ebay and some from the tagstand.com.. and they were fine for like 3-5+instructions. But with tasker (or llama i think) you can just up a profile or set of tasks and associate it with the name of the tag. So the tag only has to store a name and when its read it can set off an unlimited amount of tasks.
Honestly though I don't really use nfc tags, they were just a cool thing to try but not really that useful for me on a daily basis. I accomplish most stuff depending on my time and location, and the wifi network i'm connected to.
thought I'd buy some NFC tags and play around with Tasker and automation, first ones I found on Amazon uk were some NTAG203 whiz tags, but a quick google around and it appears there are different capacities on them, and chipsets.
What should I buy and why ? I don't want to buy something thats limited, rather have a bit more capacity for growth.
Well, my hope is to stir up enough interest in the kinds of modules that we think would be awesome for this phone. I mean it's awesome that we can easily repair this phone because of its "modularity" but I know I definitely was bought over on the idea of a adding different functionality to my phone; maybe specific to a certain kind of line of work or something simple like a special kind of case added functionality. LG actually has a contest going on like this but only open to native South Koreans. I don't understand why it isn't worldwide? Are we going to have to start a kick-starter?

I was thinking maybe an extended battery case with solar panel,think true wireless charging! Or a gamepad module!

The new modular moto is said to have a projector as one of it's modules. I was thinking a thermal/night vision cam could be cool.
i'd take the hi-fi module lol, had I known I needed the international version to even use it I wouldn't have bought it through tmo
a joypad module
a real GameBoy on our LG G5 !!!!!!
Auto root and bootloader unlock module for all variants.
There are so many features that the aftermarket could offer for a variety of different lifestyles, I don't even know where to start!!
I second the joy pad.
Also, I think a legit flashlight with dedicated switch would be pretty cool/handy.
Maybe a high quality microphone for sampling and on the fly recording for musicians.
A flip out, clamshell style physical keyboard for the texting junkies.
A simple module with a microUSB port for those with many microUSB devices that want to consolidate charging platforms.
A big fat battery that doubles as a power bank.
A serious WiFi module for hard core tethering.
A two way radio with accompanying app for those who travel off the grid.
RFID reader.
Multi card reader.
The possibilities are nearly limitless, if the phone is popular enough and the LG continues to offer the platform in future devices (or even licenses it out to other phone manufacturers if it catches on) who knows what awesome new features it could provide!!

I'd take a front firing speaker and hardware buttons (with front fingerprint reader for when on desks) with just a little 200 mah battery built in to bring us to 3000 . Simple but would be epic

I think zerolemon can get us way more battery juice than that. Id like to see speeakers or the dac
Hi, I have both of these models (LG-M250Y/LG-M250dsF) which don't come with NFC, is it possible to add the functionality to them? Apart from an external adapter, would using a back cover with an NFC antenna work or do these phones don't come with the chip at all?
Any help and suggestions on how to add NFC to the phone is appreciated.
