I just picked up this phone... for the NFC capability........ but HOW DO I CONFIGURE AND USE this feature?
The battery has NFC written on it...
Can anyone help?
Thanx
It has the "capability" but it's not functional yet since there are no "official" apps to use it with. I assume Google will eventually release their app or someone will post an early beta or a hacked APK from some foreign device.
It's no in our phone's firmware yet.. It's built in, but we can't use it..

Wait. AT&T removed a lot of the stuff required for usable NFC support from the firmware.
There's a thread with more info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289344

my friend found a new app in cydia on for his iphone 4 called igotya and i was wondering if we has a similar app for our phone available. its one of the best security apps for your phone i've seen. what it does is whenever someone tries to unlock your phone it takes a picture of them with the front camera and sends that as well as the exact gps location to your email address. i would love to be able to have an app like this for the atrix.
Gotya it's in the android market.

sweet thx, i'll check it out
I like the app as well; just wish that it supported the fingerprint scanner in addition to the PIN and pattern modes.
This is a duplicate thread, find the original and you will have more info about the fingerprint scanner.
Yes, I know about the original thread - that's how I came to know about the app. Too bad there's no SDK released yet to the dev community, as I use the scanner exclusively to unlock.
Actually there has been an SDK released, not sure if it could be applied to the GotYa, but it has been released.

Cool, that I didn't know. Hopefully Renaud has it and is coding support for the Atrix fingerprint scanner as I write this.

He said he would look into it if the SDK was made available, but i dont know if anyone has told him it is now. I asked about it when the app first came out, but decided (for me at least) it is not a needed feature. No one knows the phone has a fp scanner, and even if they do it wont work for them so they will try the numerical unlock.
Is it possible to edit the build.prop so that the market believes our device to be a Galaxy Nexus instead of the GS2?
I'm asking because I can't find any way to get Google Wallet to work on my device, and I'd really like to get it working. NFC is functioning fine on my Korean SGS2 but I can't really use it if Wallet isn't working...
Any help is much appreciated!
Do a search theres a mod in xda that got it working...

No dice, the first thread installed but it FCs right away and I can't get it run after that. I'm thinking this has to do with the device being the wrong name (nexus instead of gs2). I know they have a ton in common so I doubt there's a whole lot that I'd have to change to get this to work... any ideas how to take that APK and modify it to work, or maybe a build.prop mod that lies to the app?

or is someone can inform me what to do I will work to try and do it.
I am willing to donate for the guy who can.

If you don't care about using Google Play Music 5.0:
Find old apk (4.5.9 I think)
Uninstall 5.0
Turn off automatic updating in market
Install old apk
???
Profit
This is the only thing I did, wasn't too wowed with the new features of 5.0.
I also don't know what it would take to add the functionality to 5.0 :/
Hope this helps.

Ok well the no updating might not be possible from editing the 4.5.9 app.
I looked around the 5.0 app and it definitely doesn't have the Tungsten support files so it isn't just missing visually
I'm wonder what is involved with porting the Tungsten code to the 5.0 app...

Have a look at drawable-hdpi/ic_media_route_on_holo_light.png or ic_q_solo.png or ic_q_multi.png and tell me that again
It really looks like its partially there, just not up front. Wonder why....

It may be built out but disabled, maybe because they had to disable it to get the contracts for Google music unlimited access.. Wonder if there is a labs type thing in Google music...

I saw this little Samsung widget from a You Tube video. My current ROM doesn't have it, I don't recall seeing it with past ROMs either. I searched this forum and don't see it here.
I hunted it down through Twitter of all places.
Maybe it's not included on N7100 .. anyway it's tested & works fine, lightweight. It clearly tells how many apps are active, clicking it leads to your built-in Task Manager.
It's an apk, just install normally.

This is made by Samsung and available through the the Samsung App store. They have newer release available 1.0.6

I find Samsungs App store can be picky on the keyword, also they try to detect your device and determines weather or not it is compatible for the app. If it's not or unknown they don't display it. I think custom roms might have a issue in this regard lol.
Here's the new one.

Hi Hemant. Unless you live in New Zealand, this app won't suit you. It's a paid app by the NZ national weather service, only shows weather for NZ.

Sorry I don't know how to get it to work on custom roms, my guess is the widget needs specifics from Samsung touchwiz roms possibly the framework that Samsung uses or could be the kernel, but I honestly have no idea.
i got an old samsung and it have a app is called gallery it have a filter that i love i extracted the app and installed it on a lg but it crashed how i can make it work?, do exist a way to make it work? (sorry if this is the wrong post area for this)
Unless somebody releases a version that is adjusted for all phones they generally won't work.
