    I have a s3 and had no idea what these were. Had to do some googling, to find out what they are and what they do. I dont think it would be a bad idea to post what they are and what they are used for so the members that do not know, have some idea and could very well buy the product. Although in my google searches i did find this was a good price!

      Anything that carries the Nexus name and that has NFC. We sell NTAG203 NFC tags which support these devices on our website. They're also on special and can be found at: https://www.whiztags.com/product/whiztags-10-pack-ntag203-co…

      Know what a VISA paywave is? Your put your ATM card near the vicinity of a ATM card reader and it automatically deducts money from the card. The voodoo that allows this to happen is near field communication.

      That's what NFC technology is — it allows the transfer of a small amount of information wirelessly by simply bringing a device near an NFC tag. The NFC tag itself is not powered and has no batteries, and the NFC tag can also be re-programmed to carry certain data many times over.

      It's a bit like a QR barcode, with the major difference in that it's wireless rather than optical (not seen through the camera) and it's also re-writable, while a QR barcode isn't.

      If your phone supports NFC, you can program your NFC to tell your phone to carry out certain commands when it comes close to the tag. E.g run an app, activate a sound profile, set an alarm etc.

        So theoretically, can a NFC enabled phone read paywave cards?

        • airzone on 11/08/2013 - 00:13

          Yes they can, they can pull the card number and the expiry date. (Not the holders name or the CVC.)

          You can't however copy them, as they use a handshake that can't simply be copied.

    • Kelalako on 10/08/2013 - 20:11

    • Baldrik on 10/08/2013 - 20:45

      I use one next to my bed, it turns the phone to wi-fi, changes sound profile to silent and couple of other things all with waving the phone close to the disc. In the morning I wave it again and the reverse occurs. Fantastic.

      • Black Hole on 22/08/2013 - 10:56

        Why bother changing the sound profile to silent when you could program it to turn the phone into flight mode follow by turning the wifi mode on. This way you avoid the phone network radiation near the brain, and save battery power.

    • daver on 10/08/2013 - 23:06

      • Astro551 on 10/08/2013 - 21:30

        Cheers for all the replies. So what's the deal with the "5 times more data than most NFC tags on sale today". If I get the NTAG203s, can they only utilise one command/function? (as opposed to the Android edition ones).

        And does the "Android Edition" refer to just the little android guy? Or are they only compatible with android devices.

        • Store RepWhizTags @ WhizTags on 10/08/2013 - 21:38
          +1

          Our pleasure. The Android Edition tags have 1kb of memory (768 bytes of this is writeable) where the NTAG203 chips have 168 bytes of memory (137 bytes of writeable memory.) This means that you can fit more commands on the Android edition tags. The NTAG203 tags also will fit several commands although not to the extent of the Android Edition tags.

          This, as well as the design of the tags is the biggest difference between the Android Edition and NTAG203 NFC tags.

          Hope that was helpful.

        • manhinli on 10/08/2013 - 21:38
          +1

          A lot of NFC tags have room for content equivalent to a short sentence or so. That's not to say they can only contain one command, as that depends on the sizes of each of those entries you try to write to it.

          The "Android Edition" is based upon MIFARE and is compatible with mostly older devices (generally ones with NFC chips from NXP) - for example, my Nokia N9.

          Most newer devices communicate over NFC Forum-compatible standards, which means they won't be able to read/write to MIFAREs. So unless you know you have a MIFARE-compatible device, it's better to pick the NFC Forum-compatible tags.

      It's really difficult to tell as all commands aren't created equally. I just did some testing on my phone. I set a command to automatically open my GPS app and this took up about 89 bytes of data. I added a command to turn the screen brightness down and that took up 30 bytes. I set another command to turn on bluetooth and this took up 28 bytes. Lastly, I set a command to automatically get my phone to create a Wifi hotspot and this took up 32 bytes.

      Hope that was helpful.

    NOT compatible with S4 means it's the 'bodgy' tag. You want the universally compatible one which is called an "NTAG203" if I recall.

      • hamwhisperer on 11/08/2013 - 00:21
        +4

        The other ones are awful, you upgrade phone, your tags become useless. I got stung on the things. NTAG203 is the fully compatible type and the one people should be purchasing.

        Idiots voting me down - I'm helping you, don't make the mistake of buying "non standard" tags.

        • Astro551 on 11/08/2013 - 00:34

          That's what really convinces me that the NTAG203 is a better choice. While you can store more memory on those "MIFARE" tags, when you get a new phone it seems like it won't be compatible. Although since the HTC One works with it, it seems that the technology hasn't become obsolete… yet.

          But yeh I'd argue that for 2 bucks (and no little android guy) the NTAG203 would be a better purchase, so that all other NFC devices you (or will) have always work.

          Also looking at the rep's comment above, seems like the NTAG203s memory would be sufficient for most people's needs when regarding NFC commands, though there may be exceptions.

        • hamwhisperer on 11/08/2013 - 00:39

          They aren't compatible and it's bloody annoying, I paid 20$ for 10 tags, spent days making awesome programming for them - I put them throughout the house and work and then went from a Galaxy S3 to an S4.

          It's not the sellers fault - it's more Samsung using some weirdo chip in the S3 - the S3 chip can read these half assed chips so everyone sold the half assed ones.
          Stick with NTAG203 - works on ALL of them.

        • sane on 11/08/2013 - 17:12

          The 'half assed' chips can read Mifare classic 1K AND NTAG203 tags - whereas the new chips in the new phones can only read the latter.

          Seems to me it's the new half arsed chips that are lacking.

    Love the idea, there are so many great possibilities which you are doing a great job of explaining. Something that does put me off is the branding on the front - If I were to stick these around my home I would want them to be as unobtrusive as possible. It is a pet peeve of mine to buy a product branded with obvious advertising or a website listed on the front.

    I would much rather a modern yet unknown logo and no text. I have no doubts you're selling a quality product, and I am sorely tempted but thought I would give you my feedback. :)
