I'm not a moron, but sometimes I feel like one. I'm excited to play with the phone's NFC capabilities and have already ordered some tags from tadsfordroids.com. While waiting for them to arrive, I downloaded a couple of different NFC apps from the play store that are supposed to read tags, but I can't seem to get any of them to work. I have a couple tags that I use from time to time, but when I try to get the phone to read them, nothing happens. Anyone have any suggestions?

My guess would be that they're written in a proprietary format for the respective device they're meant to control.

Which NFC Tags are you using and which apps?
NXP Tag writer, GoToTags, NFC TagInfo all should be able to read tags.

I've tried NFC Reader, NFC Retag and Taginfo in an attempt to read the two tags pictured above. I have not yet received my blank tags.

Maybe those tags dont have a NFC chip in them. They could be on some other wireless standard/radio frequency.

Fair enough. My blank tags should be here soon, then I'll have some to experiment with.
Thanks.
This is because you have to format the tags. You will need to start with the fresh ones you ordered and everything should be fine. When tags are first written to they have to be formatted first much like floppy disc of old

Is it possible to duplicate a nfc key, and have it on my phone? For example my community pool/gym key is an nfc fog like o.p.s grey key chain., and I'd like to be able to copy it onto my phone.
Check Me Out On The Google Play Store!!!

My reading indicates that this is not currently possible with our phone. The term that I saw used is "card emulation" or something similar. I was hoping to do the same thing, but I don't think it's doable at the moment.
Those little gray fobs may also be prox or iClass; two different technologies that can't be implemented with our phones. What you might be able to do is ask them to enroll your phone as a key - if all they're using is card serial number on an ISO14443 system, that will work.

Here is a keyboard I posted in the EVO 4G forums awhile back. Similar to swype but tons better IMO. I just added the theme to it. The theme came from "Awesome Keyboard" theme from "Dansta34"
Been using it on my Rezound since day one.
Just transfer to your sd card and install like any other apk.

This looks to be a themed version of Nuance's Flext9:
https://market.android.com/details?...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5udWFuY2UuZmxleHQ5LmlucHV0Il0.
While I agree that it's a great keyboard (It's my daily driver), this is a paid app and probably shouldn't be distributed here. I see a reference to tmo in the file name, maybe this was included on some t-mobile phones?
This also happened to be the Amazon Free app of the day some time ago, so if you keep up with that, you may already have it (that's how I got it).
I tried to theme this keyboard about 3 versions ago but it would lose some of the functionality, the voice and swipe would not work. It just updated yesterday also.

Yes it was ported from a T-Mobile phone originally.
I have had it posted here for a long time.

Is speech to text working on the Rezound? Reading the reviews for this on the market and a lot of people said the flex update broke speech to text.

No the speech is not working, sorry I should have put that in the original post
Speech to Text works fine on my UnMod'd Flext9.
Ok guys I just got tasked with something major.
My shop has been approved to buy tablets to hold our tech data to work on equipment. The only issue is they cannot have camera access, wifi access or bluetooth. This is just to insure that people dont end up bringing them home, loading a bunch of games on it and bringing it back to work. Its strictly going to be for PDF files and Pictures of configuration stuff. I was wondering if there was a Device administrator apk out there where I can just select these options to disable. If not, I am willing to PayPal someone some beer money if they can help me out with this. I know my way around android as with rooting and what not, but when it comes to dev I am completely clueless. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be awesome, thank you.
This may work.
If you can't find it in the Play Store, I can attach an APK for you. But basically this allows you to disable most features of a phone/tablet to prevent kids from using a certain feature, but I'm guessing it can be used here too.

I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution
Could someone answer this as I'm a little confused. Below is a screenshot of my Dad's details - blurred out of course
Anyway, at the bottom you see a "Add relationship" field. If you click Add relationship, you are presented with a list of relationships. In here I selected Father. There is then an input box next to it.
What are you supposed to put in there? I've already told Google this contact is my Father, even if I put his real name in as the contact details, it still gives me that option.
At first I thought perhaps it was for Google Now. For instance, my girlfriend is down as her full name, so when I say "Call my Girlfriend" it would call her. However it seems like that isn't the case.
Can anyone explain this one to me. It doesn't seem to make any sense or have any use.

You can add information about the relationship in this field. I agree that you don't need it for father, but what about brother? You could add older or younger. Or, what about assistant? You could have a number of them, so you can specify what they assist with.

Still, seems a bit pointless.
It's funny as I also asked the same question on Google+ and was told that this field w to add relationships for that person. So the contacts father, mother, brother etc
I think it has more implementation coming in the future. In your case, using your dad as the example, you would choose the "Child" relationship and type your name in the text field.
The idea is that once you have populated the fields, your contacts will be linked by relationship and you will have quick access to everyone "related" to a particular contact.
Here is a post explaining how it was intended to be used: http://www.quora.com/How-do-you-use-the-relationship-field-in-google-contacts
Hopefully that helps, but who knows when it will actually be fully functional...
I personally really like this feature. My parents are both on Facebook and I need to keep their name correct on their contact card for proper syncing. However for some reason, one relationship is incorrect. Brother. Is anybody figured out how to make a correction?

I previously asked this on the Xiaomi Poco Forum but didn't get much help. As I have a Poco with stock rom and still locked so I didn't think you would welcome my question here. However you are very knowledgeable people so perhaps you can help.
The attached screenshot shows the window that opens after i have clicked the Trash Cleaner notification. At the bottom is the option to have Folder Names uploaded to Cheetah Mobile's database.
Cheetah Mobile are a company that admit to selling peoples data and have recently had similar apps to this pulled from the Google Play store, It doesn't seem to be delete able and I'm not sure the acceptance slider switch would actually do what it is meant to. Perhaps that's just me being cynical.
Is this as concerning as it seems?
Thanks for the help.

Given the reputation of the company, if I were you, I would not use it. In fact I was using their browser before learning about the activities of the company and subsequently uninstalled it and formatted my phone.
EDIT: You are welcome here even if you are on stock, unrooted with unlocked bootloader. This is a place for learning and mutual help.
