    Cool. Anyone remember the android app that let's you change settings on your phone (turn wifi on/off, etc) when you scan an NFC tag?

    EDIT: FYI OP - I always hate websites that make me sign up to checkout.

  • ESEMCE on 19/06/2013 - 12:37

    Comment below on suggestions of what to use them for.

    ie put one in the car where you store your phone and program the phone to automatically activate/connect to Bluetooth.

    • Mikinoz on 19/06/2013 - 12:41
      +16

      I use it for many things one example,

      I get off the train and walk to the car, when i get to the car touch the nfc sticker it does the below with one touch,

      Disables wifi
      Enables bluetooth and connects to my in car bluetooth
      Sends a text message to my wife to let her know i am picking her up in 5 mins
      Opens gps application with directions to home ( i can find my house this is just fun)
      and turns the torch on (before i start the car, its dark)

      Its like excel and macros, loads of fun stuff

      • ESEMCE on 19/06/2013 - 12:45

        ^ Didn't know you could do multiple actions..
        Hopefully some other good suggestions to follow.

        • Mikinoz on 19/06/2013 - 12:47

        Well, Anyone on Android can do all of these without NFC , just use LLAMA.

        The only catch is that you have to move away enough from the house to change mobile towers,

          Llama doesn't know when you get into the car and I've found it takes some time to recognise that it's out of a zone.

    • ESEMCE on 19/06/2013 - 12:55

      Other uses I can think of are:
      1) turn on WiFi when you get home (but I think a location aware app like Llama is a better solution for this)
      2) one on the bedside table and office desk to turn it to quiet mode
      3) one in the lounge to turn on Miracast to connect the phone to the TV (I grabbed an Optimus G with Miracast dongle from JB HiFi)

      That's about the limit I can come up with.
      Am I just not very creative?

      • marquise on 19/06/2013 - 14:30
        +19

        Other uses:
        Stick NFC sticker to forehead when you go to bed.
        When your phone alarm goes off in the morning, without opening your eyes you can smash your phone onto your forehead and let NFC snooze your alarm for a few minutes.

    I bought a 30 pack from an Australian merchant last week for $30 delivered.
    Originally planned to split between 3 work colleagues (10 each).

    But once other work colleagues saw the novelty they wanted one too. Each of us ended up selling a few tags for $1.
    It's funny because I mass emailed everyone the week before asking whether they wanted some NFC tags but no one responded.

    If anyone else is interested in a 30 pack then feel free to try out:

    • Astro551 on 19/06/2013 - 16:32

      wow that sounds sweet. did you get the Smartrac Circus 30/50 one? just confused with different.. uh models?

      30 tags for $30 is pretty sweet, how are they holding up? I assume you can assign multiple tasks to it as well?

      EDIT: Ah ok I see below it was the NTAG203 you bought

    in the spirit of bargain, if you can get hold of hotel keycard, or any other card that have NFC inside it, you can use apps called NFC ReTag (Android) and then you can assign the task to it.
    For example, I am using the MTR (Hongkong MRT ticket) that we forgot to get refund to do this.
    Granted it's bigger than these tags, but it's free .. kind of.

    • chid on 19/06/2013 - 13:19

      Wow that's pretty cool

    • googolplex on 19/06/2013 - 13:39

      You should note it is a bit more limited than programmable tags.
      As the device stores the code it will need to be deployed to each device.

      With programmable tags a compatible device can read the tag and launch the code stored on the tag.

      For example: I programed one of the NTAG203 tags to send a text message to a certain mobile number. My work colleague could also scan the same tag and the text message would pop-up.

      • theBestBastion on 19/06/2013 - 13:45

        Exactly, also with the non-writable tags, you need to click a button to get it work.

    • simprosimple on 19/06/2013 - 13:48

      I am sure it is not FREE… The HK MTR ticket you forgot to refund cost $50HKD deposit, and you can get the $50HKD back if you return the card.

      It is about $6AUD for your card

      Also for Hotel Keycard, they will probably charge you if you steal it or report missing..

      • st33p on 19/06/2013 - 19:04

        This is the different kind of MTR ticket, the one that I got from the machine.
        The deposit was only 10c HKD = around 1.5c AUD

    I never really understood NFC till recently. I own a NFC enabled phone and i have one of those flip wallet phone cases. I never understood why my phone would seemingly randomly make the NFC scan noises.. Turns out it was scanning one of my cards!

    • eDust on 19/06/2013 - 14:13

      This raises a good point on the security of NFCs, including other RFID things like credit cards and passports etc. I've seen a video where someone scanned people's passports from inside his car while driving down a busy street.

      • nothommus on 19/06/2013 - 14:19
        +1

        Credit cards and passport cards are locked (ive been reading up on it as of lately). I have an ID card here with NFC on it as well, and i cannot actually read the data off it, merely associate an action to be performed when i scan it.

        As for that video? Thats a damn powerful NFC chip to pick that up… Even through my fake leather phone case the max distance i can still pick up my card is only about 3cm…

        • eDust on 19/06/2013 - 14:48

          This is where I watched it, http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/video-hacker-war-drives-s…

          But it looks like the video's been taken off Youtube since then. He had a large antenna connected to a laptop and some software he wrote.

        • eDust on 19/06/2013 - 14:50

          I was looking at someone's kickstarter project based on a wallet made of a metal fabric to block the signal. If I could find fabric like that I'd put it in my own wallet & passport wallet.

        • Mikinoz on 19/06/2013 - 18:22

          The samsung tectiles packet has protection so you cant use them without opening the packet. I was going to throw it out, thanks for the idea.

    I bought one…. not sure why.

    can people throw their creative hats on and come up with some more ideas as to what we should do with these things? I like the suggestions above.

    And i can't load youtube at work, but i assume you need to physically make contact with the tag, right? So if it just near you, it won't accidentally scan?

    • theBestBastion on 19/06/2013 - 15:01
      +3

      I have a tag programmed for wifi connection, I don't need to tell my visitors which SSID to connect and what passcode to use, just a tap.

      I also have a tag at my bedside which helps me to set up alarm and turns the phone to silent mode with a tap.

      The third tag I have is in my car, it turns the wifi off, bt on, vibration off and Drive Mode on for my S4 with 1st tap and turns wifi on, bt off, vibration on and Drive Mode off with 2nd tap.

      I didn't root my phone, otherwise I can control more stuff like GPS etc.

      Hope it helps.

  • zzyss on 19/06/2013 - 14:19

    You can use it on iPhone if you have one of those Commbank Kaching cases…

    • roughana on 19/06/2013 - 14:52

      Please elaborate on this. What app could be used with it?

      • roughana on 19/06/2013 - 17:48

        .. for general programmable actions to take when tapping a tag. (Not Kaching use in particular)

      • zzyss on 20/06/2013 - 09:36

        Just search "NFC" in iTunes and you'll get a number of apps including NFC Tags (specifically compatible with iCarte), Wifi Go, NFC Actions, etc. Probably a better selection if your phone is Jailbroken through Cydia but I haven't looked much into the dark side :-)

          Thanks but…
          NFC Tags allows creation of a tag that contains smart poster (title + URL) or a vCard. No actions
          NFC Actions requires the FloJack NFC accessory, not the iCarte
          WiFi Go requires the ASUS NFC Express, not the iCarte

        • zzyss on 20/06/2013 - 12:51

        • roughana on 20/06/2013 - 17:16

          I hope it was a new one. Did you know that if it has already been registered with Kaching then it can't be used for Kaching with a new user?

        • zzyss on 21/06/2013 - 08:03
