After hearing that the N4 is incompatible with Mifare Classic NFC tags, I was wondering if the Droid DNA is? Does anyone with a Droid DNA also have those NFC tags to test if they work still?
This makes sense if they aren't supported. I've been trying to program a tag with no success. Thought i had a defective phone until testing android beam with my nexus which works flawlessly. Not a huge deal but it's annoying.
I actually just tested it a few days ago and it worked for me using the tags4droid ones.
My classics read fine.
The DNA uses the NXP nfc controller, so it should be fine.
I bought these tags a year ago. They were finicky with my Galaxy Nexus from the get-go and don't even work with my DNA at all.

Those are type 2 though, not mifare classics.
Also, as near as I can tell, the gnex and dna are using the same nfc controller.
I have these and they work for reading (haven't tried writing)

Because it has an NXP controller, it should be able to read/write Mifare Classic Tags. It will definitely be able to read/write to NTAG203 tags since they are compatible with ALL NFC enabled devices.

Currently I have an E4GT, and my BT works great. I can connect my S9-HDs, PS3 controller, wii-mote without a hitch.
This wasn't the case with my OGEvo, the audio would cut in and out, and I couldn't connect any controllers without being on CM.
Is there any info about the BT stack on the 4G LTE? I'm asking here because I assume that it's different that in the OneX, if I'm incorrect let me know and I'll ask over there.
It looks like it has many more profiles then og 4G. I saw some has a wiimote paired with one x (although it is laggy)

I think they'll probably have the same stack. WiiMotes work fine with my One X, I didn't have trouble with latency. My Phonejoy also works fine. PS3 controllers work with Root via Sixaxis app, although I'm presently locked to stock while reviewing the handset for Telecom NZ, so haven't personally confirmed that.
Bluetooth audio should be much better, since BT 4.0 has much higher bandwidth for audio streaming (although the receiving device may end up being the bottle neck). If you have a receiving device that is also Apt-X capable then the audio will be excellent, basically the same as wired up to around 370kbps (the Samsung HS3000 is cheap, versatile, and has Apt-X).

I just read on another thread that our EVO does not have BT 4.0. Does the One X have it though?

Really? I'd be surprised if it didn't, since all the other One series phones do (maybe not the One V, but the others at any rate).
Yes, the international One X has BT 4.0

Just add E4GLTE and any other phone then select connectivity towards the bottom of the page. It says Bluetooth 3.0+

This is what the build.prop from the latest Jewel leak says:
Code:
# system property for Bluetooth Hardware information
ro.product.bluetooth=4.0
That suggests BT 4.0 to me.
Hope my icontrolpad works with it. From these comments it looks like it should. I like stock but a huge reason I want this phone is to run emulators on that awesome screen and have it propped up nice on that kickstand during my lunch hour.
I've already bought the Sixaxis app from the Play Store as I use that with my PS3 controller on my Prime. Would be great if it really does work on the Evo LTE as I wouldn't even have to spend any more cash.

Though I'm unsure of what uses an NFC would have with such a large device as the Jetstream, it would have been an interesting hardware spec to have added in, huh?
I read NFC tags all the time with my EVO LTE thanks to tagsfordroids. (get in and out of the car, and a separate tag for enabling gps and opening maps in the car(handsfree!))
What would be some uses for NFC with tablets?
I suppose the Nexus 7 tablet has it...?
I am wondering if our device can read RF ID tags as they are used in animals when they are microchipped.
From some of the readers that are offered for sale to vets I have gathered they are being described 134.2KHz Half and Full Duplex tags, or HDX and FDX.
Does anyone know?

Everything I've read says no. NFC works at 13.56 Mhz and it seems highly unlikely that they would build the NFC radio to be capable of handling the lower frequency rfid chips as well.
Just to add. In the past using ics with the patch to enable nfc I did actually try it on a known working animal rfid tag and it did not register at all on my phone or any app i tried with to read tags. I verified the tag did work with the rear ahead of time and it was not installed in skin when i read it but rather still in the original packaging so interference should have been minimal.
Hi
What kind of nfc tag is compatible with the htc one?
NFC tags are all the same essentially so any kind
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
NFC tags are all the same.. It all depends on what app you use that allows you to write certain things to a tag.

Ok but what is the diffenrence between mifare and NTAG203, from what I found on google, the nexus 4 don't work with all the nfc tag. So that is not a problem for the the htc one?
NFC Tag Types
Hi there,
so, there are differences with NFC Tags. A few phones read nearly all NFC Tags. However, more and more phones can read only specific NFC Tag Types:
(copy and paste from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996948)
"Bad news, the Nexus 4 doesn't support Mifare 1k tags.
It's using a new Broadcom NFC controller. As the 1k's aren't NFC Forum Type tags they aren't supported by this controller. NXP's controller on Android (Nexus S, GN, Nexus 7, Xperia S, HTC One X) is the only one that actually supports the 1k's (BB and WP8 don't either). The Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 both use the new Broadcom controller."
We would recommend to buy the ntag203 type. You can use them with nearly all NFC enabled devices (Android, BackBerry, Windows Phone). This comes also handy if you want to show / use the tag with a phone of your friend.
Hope that helps,
Richard

Your HTC One has a NXP PN544 NFC chip/controller so you don't have to worry. The short answer to your question is that your HTC One will work with any type of NFC tag including both MIFARE Classic 1k and NTAG203.

I would have to disagree I have bought 1K MIFARE nfc tags off ebay and they do not work with the HTC One or the Galaxy S4, I will try and see if they work with the HTC One X later today.

Hi there,
I recently picked up these tags from Amazon and they work fantastically. A little over 1 dollar per tag and you get some key chains!

From the Amazon.com description these appear to be the same type (MiFare Classic 1k) tags that stealthdragonb is having problems with...
"You get 10 Mifare 1K NFC Tags that are NDEF Formatted (so you don't have trouble formatting them with some phones) that are made from PVC and have an adhesive backing so they can be used inside or outside."
So something isn't right here.
@stealthdragonb: Have you tried the tags that you have on a non-metal surface? Can you check on the HTC One X that the tags are NDEF formatted?

Hi definitely made sure that the phone wasn't on a metal surface and the tags didnt work. It just kept giving a deep tone beeping sound meaning not recognized. Tried it on a htc one x and works perfectly. How do I check if its ndef format? Is that a format that should work on the HTC One M7? Strange thing is that I have heard some people being able to use mifare tags with their htc one.

That's what I though as well. Don't know why it isn't working. Does anyone have any ideas? All I get is a low tone beeping sound when trying to scan the tag which I guess means scan is not successful. I have used numerous apps on the playstore such as nfc task launcher, anytag reader etc.
Hi All, I was wondering if it is possible to link 2 devices such that they serve as e-leashes to each other.
It will be similar to an anti theft BT device that tags to cellular phones and tablets, which beeps to let one know when they move away from their devices.
Considering most people own at least 2 devices which have BT, is there an app that will tag 2 phones or a tab using and a phone using BT so each works as leash for the other?
I am sure it will be mighty useful and work better than a BT tag which people use to prevent losing stuff.
Thanks
