{Q} NFC Student Card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I saw on the one site that, NFC could be used to read a public transport card with ticket. I have a student card with integrated public transport chip. It is possible to read it? What software will work? Thanks

Hi,
First of all, what country are you from?
My country, Singapore has an Ez-Link card and the application Farebot allows me to view the current balance left on the card and the transaction history of the card.
PS. Farebot can be downloaded from the play store.

Not sure if your card is supported. By the way, did you remember to turn on NFC within your S3 settings?

My student card has either RFID or NFC... on ICS my phone used to make the connection sound if you passed the card near the phone, but since JB it stopped doing that.

My Phone scans my card but it says not supported,

I don't think you can display the sim card contacts, just import them from the sim card to the phone. Contacts, Menu button, Import/Export

Yes, its enabled. Anything to do with NFC?
I tried and it got to do with NFC. Can this feature reads data on my staff card? =-O
No it's doesn't read data but it will make a connection with either your staff card or a back card over nfc

Download TagInfo from the marketplace and you can read what's on the card, almost certainly nothing exciting and just an apparently random number to identify the card. If you are feeling brave you can download TagWriter and see if you can write to it, just don't expect to be able to clock in/open doors/etc the next day at the office.
Download NFC RETAG and you can assign different tasks when your phone comes into contact with your card.
I've got it to open a Tube application when I scan my oyster card, my bank app when I scan my bank card and have a few old cards here and there as recycled NFC tags.

You need to be root, then download this app from google play store. I use it with my 16gb Wifi only and it works perfect, i've over 17gb on games lol it was designed for games, but you can do with whatever folder you want.

Is there a way to prevent the LED from going on while charging the tablet? I've played around with the app LightFlow but haven't suceeded so far (admittedly wasn't trying too hard).

A small piece of black electrical tape will quickly solve your problem.
Hi there, first time posting.
This is my first Android device (Phone runs Nokia N9) so I'm sort of going in blind with Android but I think I've picked things up for the most part easily enough.
I've got the 16gb edition rooted the device, mounted a couple of folders (massive collection on the marvel comic app) onto a Sandisk 64gb external SD. Those files seem to be fine.
I've found that if I try to save files straight to the external SD (showing as SDCard1 when I use rootbrowser) or I try to copy files from sdcard to sdcard1 using rootbrowser then those files just disappear.
Case in point: I used UTorrent to download a video, which would not play from the external card, however if I save it to SDCard it plays no problem. If I then try to copy said file to SDCard1 using rootbrowser it just disappears.
I've also noticed that certain files I save to SDcard1 disappear upon restarting the tablet.
Could this be a permissions issue? Does Android traditionally have trouble writing files to external SD cards?
Hopefully I have given enough info
Thanks
Thanks for the advice, I was looking for a way to disable it via software though as otherwise I would have to peel the tape off everytime I want to get notifications.

No Android otherwise doesn't have an issue with writing files to the external sd... This is a firmware bug I guess!
I don't know the actual reason sorry

Another noobish question: I haven't figured how to (always) activate sync for my Google account. When I go to the account on Settings - Accounts - Google it says "Sync is OFF" and I can find no way to make the sync always being on. E.g. on my Galaxy Nexus that refresh symbol is always green and I get Gmail notifications instantly, I would love that on my XTZ. Can someone help me out?
Stealth edit: the settings in the top right of the screenshot just give me the option to "sync now".

Thank you for that hint, that also was what I originally thought and tried because that's how it would work on the Galaxy Nexus as well. But it appears that there are no checkboxes to check there, here, I'll add a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/WE1sOWH.png
Any ideas?

Thanks mate, I just found the solution: I figured they might want me to settle that directly from the app and apparently I was right. I just went to Gmail - Settings - "my google adress" - Data usage and then I switched "Gmail sync is OFF" to "Gmail sync is ON". By doing that I hads to check a box called "Auto-sync data" and then, when I clicked my email adress, was linked to the settings page. Suddenly the checkboxes we were talking before appeared and all were checked and so far, they are still there and auto sync is working (green refresh symbol).
Edit: it still is very slow when syncing Gmail (it's not my connection, tested that). Anyone else got that issue?

I experience a similar dilemma which I solved by running the Gmail app and going into its settings for my email account and setting Sync Gmail to ON there, after which I went back to the tablet's Accounts settings for my Google email account and found sync was turned ON.
Okay, so I've gotten the external SD semi working, but very haphazardly. I've noticed that in root there are 3 directories containing the sd cards: storage, in root and mnt, as well as ext-card. Does it matter which of these I am copying files to?
just trying to get to the bottom of why copying from the internal to the external sd is causing me problems..

AFAIK, You have an internal SD Card, an external SD Card..
the ext-sd is showing because you may have partitioned the External SD Card :/
As far as I can see, it shouldn't be. I formatted it exFaT, and in each folder I only see sdcard and sdcard1, but they appear in the root, /storage AND /mnt in my file browser. I'm just wondering if it matters which of these directories I copy into. I seem to have confused myself on a fundamental level with this.
could also be the sd card....
Excuse the double post:
Turns out the card was a fake, which explains everything. I've gone and got a Samsung HX 64gb today, so problem solved!
The fake card was branded HC, which isn't even possible for a Sandisk apparently. You live and learn!

[Q] Z2 and USB OTG

I want to be able record at 120fps straight onto an external drive, but I note when you plug a drive in the phone doesn't give s option.
is there anyway round that?

I don't think it will be possible with Sony camera app. To tell you the truth its first time I hear about recording straight onto OTG device. All I can think of is to somehow deceive camera app that OTG storage is an sdcard. Some link for example.
I don't think it's possible, but then again, is there any need when you can use a high speed sd card?

yes there is a need, that's why I asked.
annoying the xperia cant do it when the htc m8 can
Try a third party camera app? not sure if any can do it but just the first thing that came to mind.
May I ask why an sd card won't suffice?

well you could use Foldermount if you are rooted and redirect the DCIM folder to your OTG hard drive
that's the sort of advice I was after.
to be a pain and needy got any more info on rooting and re directing dcim??

Rooting guide (as always at your own risk): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900
Foldermount: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192122 which basically lets you symlink any folder anywhere.
Hope that helps!
excellent many thanks, I will have a read of that during the world cup final later
(not opened either link) is there no way of adding the external drive to the camera settings? you have the option of internal and SD cant we add another option for external?
Nope, no option for that. You'll have to do it the hard way!
Edit: An alternative would be to use another camera app, like ABC, which lets you save to a custom folder.
but does the app let you record at 120fps?
I cant even find abc, is it just called abc?
I get everything but a camera app

My bad. ABC stands for A Better Camera and you can get it from here. I don't really know if it's able to record on 720p 120FPS but you can try it and see what happens
