Hi
What kind of nfc tag is compatible with the htc one?
NFC tags are all the same essentially so any kind

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.

Yes the MiFare Classic's incompatibility with the GS4 has been well documented. However I'm surprised to learn that the tags don't work with the HTC One. According to this article, the One should have a NXP PN544 controller, which should be totally compatible with MiFare Classic...

Yeah, that is exactly what I thought when I bought it but doesn't seem to work, checked on a friends htc one x and it works perfectly..?..
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.

I can also verify that the Mifare 1K NFC Tags work fine on my One.
I'm using these ->> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006TGTEV0/ref=oh_details_o01_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

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.
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)
http://nfctags.tagstand.com/collections/mifare-classic-stickers/products/nfc_square_35mm_w
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.
Is there a way to install Google Wallet on T-Mobile's HTC One? I hear the Sprint variant got Google Wallet enabled on May 15, 2013.
I wish

I am pretty sure in the future once the HTC One is more popular but we might never see it =/ thought I rarely used google wallet with the Galaxy Nexus, it was a nice feature
HTC One GSM No Google Wallet Support PN544

I believe this crippling is because of the secure element being embedded in future ISIS SIM cards. This is a part of the ISIS wallett program.... If it ever rolls out... Perhaps at that point we can force Google wallett to use the secure element chip located there.

Sorry to dig up a dead thread but I have been doing some reading and I could not find a conclusive answer to the Google Wallet support question on this forum and figured this might answer the question for the next person looking.
There is a crucial difference between the GSM (T-mobile / AT&T) and CDMA (Sprint) versions of the HTC One. The CDMA version has the NXP PN65 NFC Chip this version supports SmartMX which is the secure element that is necessary for Google Wallet to work. The GSM version has the NXP PN544 which does not support SmartMX so there is no secure element and no Google Wallet support. It appears we are crippled at the hardware level and it is doubtful any development will be able to remedy that, short of somehow emulating SmartMX or actually replacing the NFC Chip :crying:
This link describes what is included in teh PN65 vs the PN544:

not true. The nexus s had the pn544 chip and gw worked fine.
---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------
According to the NXP documentation of PN544, three SE variants are
supported:
- SIM Card (via UICC)
- Embedded (SmartMX security chip)
- SD Card

Your are correct that the Nexus S had a PN544 and it also had the PN65N http://www.nfc.cc/nfc-phones/nexus-s/. PN544 is the NFC Controller so all versions with and without SmartMX have a PN544 NFC Controller.
Your comment made me do a little looking at Ifixit and if you look at their teardown it appears the a NXP 65 series chip is in both the Nexus S and the GSM version of the HTC One. So maybe we will get this working eventually.
Nexus S, zoom in on the black chip you can see NXP 65N00

HTC One, bottom right, not quite as sharp a picture but you can make out NXP 65012

Hello,
I am developing an application for Android. The application should read Mifare Classic 1K tags.
I would like to know if the new HTC one can read this kind of tags.
I would like to check before I can procure the device.
Thanks,
Seedo
How would I test it? I have MiFare cards at work, and I might be exchanging my S4 for a One.
