hi,
I bought a battery through mpj for GALAXY S5 with NFC on a suggestion of a friend. It works as expected but I don't know if the NFC actually functioned as claimed. How can I confirm it? Many thanks!
It should beep if you scan an NFC tag to it. Also a picture transfer with another NFC phone. Obviously not an iPhone, cause their NFC is sh!t.

So, I assume this little extra will pair with an old Note... so hopefully someone can write a tiny little app to give us old Note users the "your s pen has gone walkies!" functionality of the new Note?
Anyone know if it's limited by the new Bluetooth specs? i.e. does need very low power stuff in BT 4, rather than our version? Or should it work with our device?
Lost my s pen last year. Very annoying. Couldn't find anything that would do this simple task, good move from Sammy to add this functionality.
Iv done some reading and am still a little confused as to if I can use something like Trigger or something like Trigger to turn off toggles etc. when my phone is removed from a NFC Tag. Currently I use Trigger to turn on BT and Turn off Wifi etc.. when I place my phone on a NFC tag when I get into my car and that works great. But when I get out of my car and remove my phone from said NFC Tag I would like to turn off BT etc.. Can this be done?
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 running NE9.
Thanks,

It can be done but you'll have to set up another trigger to disable them. So one trigger is turning on BT/ off Wifi when you touch it the first time. The second trigger would be the opposite BT off/ wifi on but you can't just remove it from the NFC tag, you have to tap it again
Thanks for the idea. I found that I was over engineering the whole idea between Tasker and Trigger. After reading your reply I figured I would only use Trigger. I had to create 2 Tasks in Trigger. When I get into my car I put my phone into the phones car dock (which has a NFC Tag on it) . 1 triggers via NFC which turns on BT and connects to my Cars BT,disables wifi, enables Mobile Data and opens Waze or whatever navigation app I want. The other Task does the reverse when disconnecting from my Cars BT (aka getting out of my car and taking my phone with me). After various tests its about 99.99999% accurate. And I works with only 1 initial NFC tap.
Thanks again for the idea.

Dear All,
I googled for this info and searched the forums - and can't find anything useful. There's a ton about which tags do work and which don't but nothing on my issue.
What I tried to do:
- read tags with the both new and older version of NXP Taginfo - I hear the sound of tag acquisition an then... nothing appears,
- read passport tags with NFC Passport Reader - just sound, no reaction
- share files from gallery with other devices - this actually works but not every time.
I do have T-Mobile MyWallet installed and I thought this was messing up - but after removing that and rebooting - same story.
At the moment I have a clean original Samsung system, not rooted. I tried with both power saving enabled and disabled - same story as above. It seems NFC is working but not for acquiring tag data.
Any help would be appreciated

Sorry for the bump, but... hasn't anyone else experienced problems or has a potential explanation to this NFC problem? Anyone?
Hello,
I recently purchased a few NFC 215 tags/stickers to give them some use, but the apps show no response whatsoever to the tags (they ask to scan a tag, and don't ever react anyway whatsoever). I've tried "NFC Tools", "NFC TagInfo by NXP", "Tagmo", and a bunch of other random NFC apps.
Is there a way to troubleshoot whether the issue is on the tags or on my phone? I have no other devices with NFC capability.
What I gathered on the lenovo support forums (just figured I can't post links since I don't post much...):
- I am scanning them at the right position according to "Moto G6 Plus: Location of NFC chip/sensor?"
- The NFC on the phone SHOULD be working according to "Broken NFC Reader - Again !!", since apparently I wouldn't be able to toggle it on or off if it wasn't...?
Thanks for your time!
Hello,
I want to help a friend with continuous glucose monitoring. His pomp hardware has bluetooth and it is possible to connect it to phone. But only a few phones are compatible - Iphones and a few models of Samsung. When you don't have a compatible phone application displays error.
So, I edited build.prop and application works but I can't find CGM device. I wonder why. What is a difference in bluetooth module in samsung and one plus 5? Or maybe do you know other reason why OP5 can't find this device?
BTW, here is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l&rdid=com.medtronic.diabetes.guardianconnect
