[@lakshmanpalli2925]

[@GPLG]

Damn it's 2023 and it still unpopular

I use NFC for goggle wallet. Welcome to the 21st century.

[@ramkrishnan7069]

I was searching for a video about nfc that explains the basics well. Your way of explanation is precise and easy to understand. Thanks to you, I can now consider buying a Nfc ring. You cleared many doubts tht I had.

HELLO WORLD 🌍👋 FROM 2024🎉

[@twiztidditzwit]

I was originally confident with using my phones NFC capabilities, but I just had to say, this video was by far the most professionally executed tutorial video I have ever seen! How anyone would still have a problem using NFC after watching this video is beyond me. It also showed me what an NFC tag is, and now I am tempted to purchase some. The NFC tags seem like they are very useful. Thank you very much for such a clear video tutorial on how to use android's NFC applications and their respective phones' NFC chip settings! Such a great tutorial can be rare at times when mediocre tutorial videos are in abundance and not always put together very well. I look forward to more great tutorials in the future! =) Go #android !

I had no idea about nfc, it started randomly poping up lol didn't know what it was, your video is amazingly accurate for information thank u. ❤

[@VTREX2010]

@Moosa Mashoom That's android beam, but Samsung just called it S Beam which is pretty much the same thing. When you use it, does it send the pictures or anything you want to share to a NFC capable device?

[@phineasndani]

Id like to take a 3d video with 2 nfc compatible cellphones. Both are the same xperia sp. Could I use nfc to take videos with 2 phones at the same begining and end time, or it just a feature to share images and websites

[@heidicook2395]

Thanks for showing how to use NFC. I am blind and have tags on numerous items and didn't know how to use my phone to read them.

[@theadventurerchannel9770]

I'm using a Moto G2 Play and a Samsung 9. I was unable to get nfc to transfer a file from the WhatsApp from the Samsung to the Moto handset. However, the Bluetooth tether option did work. Thanks for your video.

[@angelnavarro2286]

[@mikemoreno4469]

The map on the screen is of Cebu. I have been to Magellan's Cross!

[@loadinginprogress6849]

Doesn't work so well for me, I tried it between my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 7 but it seems they have to be perfectly still and exactly back to back on a certain area. I guess I have to get used to it. Pretty awesome feature anyway!

[@jack77722]

Thanks ! Helped a lot !

[@mkygod]

[@miner3993]

Nice video. I am trying to figure out how to usa a NFC Tag to make my phone run an action. I got it to work but everytime I scan the tag the phone ask me which app to read the NFC tag? I can't figure out how to set as the default app to read and run the action. I'm using Tasker as the APP that I want to run the trigger and action. Can you help. What am I doing wrong

[@TheSniperProdigy]

It uses a miniscule amount. I have a HTC One X and leave it on 24/7 and I have noticed no change in battery life over the 6 months I have had the phone. I use to have NFC off but its very handy for tags etc so its on all the time. The radio is off when the screen is off an only awakes when you unlock the device.

[@khushkewal]

[@MrOmnisaurus]

Make sure both have NFC on, also, the NFC chip is near the top of the Nexus 7. So try placing the phone against that part of the tablet.

[@thomas23brown]

Wil the NFC tag work even though the device does not have NFC task launcher? Is there a way to do that?
