Samsung TectTiles - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if they work with Nexus 7? Samsung claims on their site that the tiles might be compatible with non Samsung devices.

We won't know until someone tries them, but they should work. That said, there are much cheaper options out there. A few of the NFC apps on the market sell their own tags quite a bit cheaper than Samsung.

I found this link by accident so I dont know how good their quality is here for their tablets but the sales look pretty decent for 7 inch tablets, there are also some tablets that have ICS on them. So if you are in the market be sure to consider this place.
So you found this place by accident and have no idea on what they're selling but you want ppl to try them? Ok.......

Do not buy things from the site its just another China knockoff site. I have bought quite a few china products from sites and the quality isn't that great. Just a heads up!

Need a cheap Phone Which Allows Bluetooth PAN Tethering tot the Nexus 7.

Hello, I recently broke my Samsung Galaxy S and rather than getting into an expensive new contract i thought id get a nexus 7 which is more powerful than most of the overpriced smartphones. So I have a nexus 7 coming tomorrow and as it has no 3G i would like to buy a phone which will allow the tethering of its 3g connection over bluetooth PAN.. I have been searching all day but cant find one thats less than £100. I am in the UK. Can any one recommend a nice cheap phone that will allow this??
I just figured out how to use the app "blueVPN" on the N7 and Bluetooth over to my Nokia e6-00. Works fine, I am able to use my data off the phone. I would say at your price range and your location in Europe you can find many Nokia phones that will fit your cost needs. Old E-Series phones come to mind... Try an e63, maybe an e51 or similar...
Get a Nexus One or S.

What phone do you use alongside your note 8?

Just ordered my Note 8 (3G version).
I've had the iPad mini previously and I've been wondering for a while, what is the ideal tablet/phone combo. I'm presuming that I'm not going to use the Note 8 as a phone very often, so I'm going to be carrying around 2 devices most of the time.
I've currently got a Galaxy S3 which I'm very happy with, but I do wonder if the 2 devices will be too similar. I've considered getting a small, cheap phone to use just for calls and texts and using the tablet for everything else, but I don't have the tablet with me all the time, so I do need something that has a decent browser and a camera.
I'd be keen to hear your thoughts. I'm sure this topic must have been discussed before, but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
I was just thinking of posting a very similar question.
I'm currently using a blackberry curve 9360. Its an OK companion as I can use it as a mobile hotspot and allow my note 8.0 to access the web through it. I love it as a communications device. Good for calls, strong signal, good battery life, small and the keyboard is great for sms and other messenger services. where it falls down is apps though. There are a few available but nothing seems to work very well.
Im weighing up the convenience of the keyboard to the benefits of useful apps at the moment. If I were to get an android phone, id need to be able to use it as a hotspot, which i think i can do, and it would need to be small enough to fit in my pocket, so about 4 inch screen maximum. There doesnt seem to be any high end devices at that screen size though, Just lite versions of their larger siblings.
My contract isnt due for renewal until december so I have a while to search and contemplate though.

I imported a pantech Vega 6. Mainly for the 1080p screen and 13mp camera. So far its an awesome phone. They've updated it regularly although I didn't think I would be able to living in the US.
Oh and I like the near 6" screen size too

Best phone/tablet combo? Padfone.
I'm using the S4 currently. Not sure there is really any device with a huge advantage when paired with the Note 8. Personally I think just sticking with Android and Samsung between the devices is best. At least this way you can use more of the Samsung share features and of course all your purchased apps on both devices.

so you use a 6 inch phone and an 8 inch tablet? What do you use one for vs the other?
I am using a Nexus 4 alongside my Note 8 Wi-Fi.
I am happy with the combo and find that almost everywhere I use my Note 8 I have good Wi-Fi.

SG4 and Note 2
SG2 and Note 8 with 3G for data
OG Note. Holding out for the Note 3.
Galaxy S3, T-Mobile model. I prefer my tablet for most uses so there's little reason to upgrade just yet.

I use this combo also, note 2 with my note 8. To answer your question, for me it's not so much a matter of designating each device to its own app per say, but more a matter of convenience. Basically, I reach for the 8 whenever I can, even for texting (mighty text), but when it's just quicker/easier, I go with the 2.

Galaxy S4. Great combination and similar styling

i've got the sprint galaxy note 2 and a verizon s4. i kept sprint when i picked up verizon (just before killing unlimited data) b/c i'm on a $50/mo sero plan. i should have gotten the note 2 for verizon also. s4 is nice, but i like the bigger screen on the note 2. maybe i'll get the note3 on verizon as long as they're root & unlock it and then sell my s4. i really should just drop sprint as their service in my area is total crap.
I use a S3 and a S4. I like the phones for all the things they do so well. The Note 8 was a impulse purchase due to AT&T having a bundling promotion when I purchased the S4. It replaces a Tab 2 7" and it far superior in display and I find the S Pen to be a real joy for use with spread sheets, drawing programs and the like.

Sprint Galaxy S4 and WiFi Note 8, although looking to get rid of the tablet because I just haven't found a use for it. I do have games and movie/tv apps on the Note because of screen size.
Previously I had the Note II and Note 8 but gave the Note II to my son (he has way bigger hands) and got the S4 for myself, which I'm really happy with.
Still in planning stage, but it will note 8 and one x

NFC Tags

I am getting ready to upgrade to the note 3, and my girlfriend to the s4. I would like to get some NFC tags that we can both use around the house. I always thought that NFC tags were all the same, and you were basically paying for the name. But a couple Google searches informed me that the s4 needs Samsungs (expensive) tec tiles. Is this so? And is the note 3 compatible with the same tags?

If you think that $3 for tectiles 2 is expensive I shouldn't even mention these little expensive babies, but they are so qute :

Can anybody chime in on this?

You do NOT have to use the Samsung Tectiles. But you do have to make sure you get tags that are compatible with both phones. Basically, you want to stay away from Mifare Classic tags which are not fully compatible with a lot of newer phones including the note 3 and S4.
You want to get universally compatible tags which are any NFC Type 1 or Type 2 tags. The most common and affordable are NTAG203 and Topaz 512. Either will work with your phones. Topaz 512 generally cost a little more because they have a lot more memory. You can get both at AndyTags.com, but other nfc tag stores will also have them.

I do not know what you actually search, but the Nexus p6 is relatively heavy, huge device. In addition remember to buy it only from Google site, because if you not - you will be struggling with any level of any support, starting from charger and cable to phone itself. Huawei does not have repairs "on site" - users send the phones by post or via seller and wait for weeks for the repair - no replacements provided.
No ones gonna decide for you how to spend your money, and there was enough of these discussions already, pointless thread. Next nexus not gonna be available for atleast 5more months. If you just want phone that works well all around and has some gimmicks, go for samsung, if you like trying out different roms, flashing kernels etc, you wont find better than nexus.
One plus is still fhd screen. If you don't care about the screen buy that one.
No matter what do not buy a Samsung. Also the galaxy 7 is not a pablet and the note 6 is around the corner.
I would buy the honor v8 4 gibis and qhd screen.
