Hi,
I was trying out some Mifare 1K tags on my 5X and discovered that they don't work. So apparently the phone doesn't support them but since the NFC chip PN548 that the phone uses supports them, I was wondering if there is any way of enabling them. Any solution is acceptable even if it requires root.

Hello
It is possible to use a nfc scanner in the Samsung Galaxy S3 to scan microchip that like in our pets? I try to scan a one of the microchip, but phone don`t do anything with it. It not giving any information or "beep" - connection sound. It is possible to scan it with any software?
As far as I know those are LF RFID chips. Maybe there are newer types who operates on HF (13.56mhz).

You will likely have little luck there. RFID implants for animals have been around since the 1990s and there are several incompatible product lines of them (each requiring it's own reading device). Those implants are merely transponders in the 100 kHz range. They are designed to be powered up by the reading device and just beam back the serial number, they have in their ROM. NFC, builds on RFID, but is standardized. It allows two way communication and larger tags can hold several kilobytes of data. The bigger datastorage mandates that data is exchanged at a higher frequency (10 MHz range) in order to do it in the same time. Different frequencies require different antennas. Different antennas mean more hardware cost. So ... there you have it.

Ok, and what i must do to read it?

To read it with you NFC phone: Nothing, can't be done. Those tags would need to work with 13.56Mhz.
If you want to read it, buy the corresponding RFID reader.
I'm working on an NFC related project for my company and I had a couple of questions that I was wondering if any of you guys could cover:
1) Does Microsoft/Google have requirements for what NFC standards are required? For example, The Nexus 4 has a chip that doesn't fully support MIFARE, so am I to assume that the ISO 18092 standard must be supported since that is technically the definition of NFC?
2) I hear that the NXP chip is currently in android handsets, except for the Nexus 4. Is it the PN 512 chip?
3) Does anyone know what NFC chips are in the Windows Phone 8 handsets?

Required for what? NFC Standard is defined by the NFC Forum. NFC is 18092, Mifare is 14443-3A
Does anyone know where I can find NFC tags with more than the tiny 150b available in the NTAG203?
I'm looking for ones that are compatible with all devices, so the mifare ones won't work.
I read a press release from a company called Inside Secure that said they made 2K NFC tags that were type 4 compliant, but cannot find any of their tags anywhere.

Desfire EV1 2k, 4k, etc should work and are available in small quantities.
Will they work with SGS4

Desfires should work with the S4 (it's using the Broadcom controller which supports Type 4 tags). Otherwise you can find 512 byte Topaz tags.

DESfire EV1 tags. Plastic card size, I purchased one of the 8kb ones and yes it works on S4.
Hi all,
I have a project in mind where I would like to have the equivalent of the NFC Chip in my android phone, externally, separate to the device.
There are of course external readers/writers which connect to the phone using Bluetooth, I'm talking about an NFC Chip itself. Is there something out there that would meet this requirement?
Essentially I'd like the convenience of an NFC Chip, running through Android (for Android Pay, e.t.c.) just in a device other than my phone. Probably connected via Bluetooth?
The snapdragon 835 apparently has a FM tuner, and several manufacturers allow the nextradio app to utilize it. I'm not talking about streaming, I mean an actual rf tuner in the FM radio band. For instance I've read the Samsung S8 allows nextradio to use the tuner, as well as the LG V30.
Anyone know if it is possible to use the FM tuner on the Oneplus 5T?
Not that I'm aware of but only that it would be capable of it doesn't mean it is possible. It'd need to have a connected antenna or utilize the wired headphones as such. If the chip does not use them as antenna, it can't even receive FM signals.
It's like having a Bluetooth chip inside but not soldered to the motherboard. Moreover, the functionality could also have been disabled on a hardware level making it impossible to enable it via software.
Maybe it would be possible but then people also tried to enable disabled CPU cores on their budget CPUs without success ?
