As far as I know, this is the only Android NFC payment option in the UK.

I just added an exchange account to my I9500 because I really need it but its a waste of time and I don't really like to use the PIN MANDATORY security.
Does anyone know how to avoid this requirement? I remember I installed a zip in my old SGS2 an it solved the problem, now I'd really appreciate avoiding it in my S4.
Thanks!:thumbup:

Use Touchdown from the Play Store. It's excellent and will solve your problem

No. NFC is for sending files not tethering.
Thats what I thought.

Not only files, but for general exchange of information like credit card information, subscriber ID, passport picture, etc.

For 3€ (the price of half a ham sandwich over where I live) you get a lot.
Search for "tasker android" on youtube.

Hi, I noticed that the Download Booster feature is only available to those who are on 4G LTE and will not work with 3G/HDPSA+
Will this be a hardware level restriction or will it be software? I'm hoping once it's rooted that restriction will be able to be lifted so people without 4G LTE will be able to use Download Booster.
Cheers!

Thanks for the reply,
I am already rooted however the main use I would achieve from Download Booster is torrents, which the app doesn't support.
Cheers though!

I'm with Three UK. In my current location I only receive HSPDA+ (3G) so I'm hoping for a mod which will allow me to use Download Booster with 3G.

Less than a week on the market and the fingerprint sensor has been hacked already! Glad I didn't switch!

Glad you didn't switch? LOL That's probably the dumbest thing I have read all day, no offence. You can fool any fingerprint scanner like this pretty much. I tested this on my payroll time clock scanner and the same thing. It's not hard to do.
Yeah but with the PayPal integration, if someone hacked your phone with the fingerprint scanner, your money isn't safe really is it?

This is the reason they are putting it less secure than PIN and Password as a screen unlock method.
So first they need to take a picture of your fingerprint and print this with thick inkt than the need woodglue

Seriously, did anybody really expect, that this fingerprint reader cannot be fooled??

So just use a regular pin like you do on your note 3. Your logic is kinda flawed.
All they did was prove it can be hacked like any other password. What they neglected to mention is that the preparation needed for this is so much harder than just looking over your shoulder and stealing a regular password or pin.
The best password I had was on cm7 for my droid x and x2. It was a gesture swipe on a background of your choice but it allowed for multiple swipes and with no hints or bypasses it was impossible to hack. Never understood why they discontinued it and it hasn't been implemented in android yet.

Isn't that the case for any form of password? If someone got your PIN/password/pattern, they could have access to all of those things you mentioned, without ever needing your fingerprint in the first place. So...what's the problem here?
Pro tip: Everything is hackable. Thinking otherwise is only being naive.
