NFC - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Hi there.
I just wonder how NFC is working for you. I have no problems reading a bankcard for example. On various other NFC Tag I have issues. They don´t get recognized.
I also own a couple of NFC enabled Sony Cameras and a Headphone which is NFC enabled. Non of them get recognized. I guess I am missing something but at the moment I have the feeling NFC is working very bad.
In addition. Does someone knows where the NFC antenna EXACTLY is located?
Cheers

I will try to make several NFC badges tests with OP5 at work very soon (I have many types on my desk) and report here :good:
Cheers'

Will do some tests as well when I get mine on Monday and let you know

Yep, can confirm. Tried sending bunch of stuff from 3T to 5 with android beam and everything went smooth.

Thanks both of you.

Barcorama

Anyone got this to actually successfully read a barcode on our Vogue? Mine always come back "No Barcode"

I would love to get this up and running. Can anyone add some additional info?

I believe the orientation matters. although most of the time the search comes up with no result for that barcode. I tested it on several books and other items and found prices on 2 out of 5 books. I had it looking at pricegrabber. Is there another better place I can have it look to?
I couldn't get it to work either. I think its because our cameras suck...

I think it's because our cameras don't have AutoFocus.
SAME WITH ME, i DIDNT HAVE ANY LUCK WITH A DIFFERENT BAR CODE APP.
Seems like nothing can be done, we are out of luck. or is it so? maybe a firmware update would help?

Tectile NFC video leaked

NFC tectile video, looks neat and potential is there.

Nice
Was looking at these earlier,
I decided to buy tags from RapidNFC as I couldn't see these on sale yet, got 10 of them so I'll stick them to my desk at work, one or two at home to switch WiFi networks etc.
Will, get the TecTiles app to try with my tags when it's available.
I too got my tags from RapidNFC. I created a thread for us to share ideas and the different uses with NCF here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705361
Don't be afraid to poke your head in there and leave some input if you use the NFC or have a cool idea for some uses with the tags!

theres probably a way to exploit this app or even nfc on some devices. it will be neat to see what people come up with
Cool
I'll definitely join in, I'v been reading through a similar thread in the GNex forum but only one or two useful ideas there.

Don't appear to be available on the UK site yet.
Soooooo, what happens if you attach one to the back of your phone? Maybe program it to check in with FB?

If you attach it, it will read the tag just fine... But only once. You'd have to un—attach the tag to get it to be be read again..

So much for my evil plan. Funny thought though.
yeah as it seems is its a one time 'check' until its removed and crosses by phone again. It seems that you have to set the app up to respond to the particular tag too. not the other way around where the tag tells the phone what to do.

Indeed, the Wi-Fi and BlueTooth tethering is not working here either. It worked well on the Stock ROM though, so I don't believe it's caused by the provider.
I hope this can be fixed, I read somewhere else I might have to do with the tether_dun_required setting in settings.db -> global.
OK, this is useful info. It was not working on I9300 and I had no way at all to test that (the only 4412 device I have is wifi-only) - but later this week I can investigate tethering issues on N7000 if it's also problematic. Just need to find my microsim adapter...

I was going to work on it over the holidays, but among the things I forgot to bring with me was the SIM adapter for my N7000. Tethering works fine on all of the other devices I own.
I've got a number of ideas why, although the fact that BT tethering is ALSO failing indicates it's something different from what I'm used to in the past... That's new information.

Odd, someone else claimed it was not working... They might be on one of the providers where tethering is blocked. (There's a commit going through review to remove a bunch of those blocks...)
So it seems to be something odd with all of the Samsung Exynos4 devices, not sure what yet... Every change that SHOULD be required seems to be there, but we're obviously missing something.

Thanks for the tip - I knew there was some stuff in frameworks/base related to tethering, I just hadn't had the time to look into it in detail.

[Q] Does Google Cardboard work?

After watching several videos about how awesome this thing is online, I was hooked and totally ready to buy one. However, after reading around, I've noticed some people saying that you can accidentally shut off the screen with the magnet on cardboard. Does anybody own cardboard that can confirm this is in fact an issue? I'm ready to buy this thing, however, that's holding me back. Thanks!
Why would you buy one? There are free plans online to make your own.

I think the OP probably means a kit. I've ordered a kit (ie card template, magnets, nfc tag and lenses) for not much more than the lenses on their own.
With regards to the OP's question, I'll let you know next week as I hope to build it this weekend.
Yes it works wonders on my M8 GPE! No issues whatsoever.
100% of the functionality is there and works correctly

Can you load in HTC camera photo spheres or does it only work with the ones created by android camera?
If so how?
Thanks!

I only have the Google Camera since I have the GPE phone, so I'm not sure.
I have a feeling it will work, though.

It doesn't seem to recognize them. Ive tried changing the name to match that, and make sure its in the same folder as ones from android camera.
Not sure what its looking for. It loads up any i've taken with android camera fine.
I have some cool ones from htc camera of places ill probably never go again and would love to check them out with this.

Yeah I did one on a dirt road in the redwood forests of California and it's great to see through Cardboard!
Probably a different format used by the Android camera I'm guessing, so that could be the issue.

Following up to answer my own question.
Changing the name, and moving the htc camera photo spheres into the same folder as the google ones worked, it just needed to be reloaded.
the name format is PANO_{DATE}_{Image number}.jpg
example PANO_20140718_12345.jpg

Glad you got it working! It would make sense that the Cardboard app just looked it one folder for the panoramas.
Smart thinking !

So does the Google Cardboard only work with GPE? I've read that the dotview would come on because of the magnet on the Cardboard. And you have to root the phone to disable it...

Yes i too want to know this..there is no video either. Does stock HTC M8 work with google cardboard or does it trigger the htc dot view?
Should work
I don't see why it wouldn't work on stock htc m8.. I had ATT sense with the dot view case, switched to GPE and the dot view case works the same way. Even the same features. So since dot view works with GPE fine and GPE users have confirmed that cardboard works, cardboard should work with sense as well.
Ok thanks for the input..will buy cardboard now
It definitely works on a stock M8.
The magnet doesnt seem to do anything for me. I push it down and release it to select an option in the cardboard app. But it doesnt select anything. Nothing happens. Can someone help?!
Make sure you do it in one quick movement down and back up or it won't make a selection.
Just wanted to say that sincr i updated my GPE M8 to lollipop, the magbetic switch stopped working. Worked 100% perfect before though so i hope there is some update that will fix this.

Oh really? I didn't get my cardboard until after I updated to 5.0, so I just assumed the magnet switch didn't work on the M8, google even list it as so.
That's interesting then...
Whats even further interesting is that the magbetic switch works with some apps. The hobbit VR experience works with the magnetic switch while others dont

Does Nexus6p support ANT+ devices?

I use a old garmin heart rate monitor and it worked perfectly with oneplus one. Does anyone know if nexus6p supports ANT+?
It does not support the hardware - I'm using an otg cable with ant+ adapter for my Garmin HRM with success. Good luck!
Would you mind sharing the link for the ANT+ adapter
here's one. you'll need an OTG adapter to use it.
