NFC chip / Mifare Classic support - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Oneplus 8 [Pro] has an NFC chip supporting Mifare Classic? That usually means a chip from NXP. I have checked MCT COMPATIBLE_DEVICES (and INCOMP.) and ShopNFC NFC-list but they are not listed (and actually the shopnfc list has Pro 7 listed as not classic compatible, but the MCT document says the opposite, so even if someone know that 8 [pro] has the same chip I am not really convinced).
If you have a 8 [Pro] and a Mifare Classic card (quite a lot of travelling/bus cards and access cards/keyfobs using that variant) and want to help, download MCT from F-droid or Google Play and see if the phone recognizes a card (should give a pop-up with something alike "New tag found").
Would help a lot in my decision of buying a new phone. Currently using Oneplus 6.
Thanks
(Almost duplicate as in the 9 Pro forum, but had the same question for that variant, which has a compatible chip)

Well, answer to my own question. I got an answer from OnePlus:
"We would like to inform you that both OnePlus 8 Pro and 9 Pro comes with SN100T NFC Chipset which is manufactured by NXP."

ant+ support?

With the latest update of googles my tracks now ant+ support was added for external sensors, like footpods, heart rate monitors etc.
Anyone have an idea if the defy has the appropriate chip in it that will enable this in the future? Have read so far in a very early forum statement from motorola that this would not work but then again what customer support tells you is not always the whole truth Both the TI omap 3610 and 3630 does according to their product sheet indicate to support the needed wilink chip. Ericsson have just last week activated ant+ support in all their current android phones so it does seem possible to do things like this, if the manufacturer wants off course
Appreciate any help or info! Thanks
I'm also looking for this, there are some indications that the chipset supports this hardware wise, below is a comment quoted from Jollo at the Motorola developer forum:
"Maybe you know about the first attempts to ANT+ sensor usage in android phones by HTC (ANT+ could be seen as de-facto standard for sports activities sensors like foot- or heart-pace). They used an ordinary Legend which was just flashed to enable the ANT+-capabilities of the TI WiLink radio chipset.
In case the Defy will use such chipset (specs don't name this, but even WiLink Gen. 6 should be adequate), this phone as one of the rare ruggedized ones running Android could become an outstanding sports-device. Even if there is no Software using these capabilities of recording heart-pace or other sensor-data yet, i could imagine that this would be just a question of weeks after the first ANT+-enabled Android phone will reach the market"

Any information of the possibility of supporting Ant+ by the Defy?
Hi,
this is just an idea. I have to say I do not know to much details about Android driver programming but is there perhaps a chance to port/take the driver from the MOTOACTV device.

Perhaps an expert could give a statement here!?

Nobody an idea from this topic ant+ driver for defy?

NFC Tags

I just recently found out about NFC tags and I'm wondering what brand I should buy, and what chip I should get for the Note 4. Any information is appreciated.

All NFC tag will work with NFC enabled smartphones (like Note4)
For example you can buy Sony Smart-Tags & Manage its tag with Smart Connect App
the thing is you need nfc tag & an app that manage tasks
:good:

Not quite. I can't say for other brands, but the original Samsung NFC tags worked with the Note 2 but the Note 3 required NFC 2 tags. Hopefully they will still work with the Note 4.

I had the same question about NFC tags when I had my S4. The biggest factor I found out was whether the tag is compatible with NFC Forum protocols. The older Mifare Classics tags are super cheap but aren't always compatible (they weren't with my S4.) You'll want to buy tags that are compatible with NFC Forum protocols, such as the NTAG203 or the Topaz 512.
We'll know for sure what tags are compatible once the phone is out. I've got a pile of NTAG203's laying around so I'll be ready to test those.

Thanks for the information, I did not know I needed to download an app and I hope the NTAG203s work with the Note 4.
Now that the phone has been out a few weeks, has anyone expirimented to see which tags work? I want to pick some up and play with some NFC commands, but not sure which type to get.
I have used tags for a while.
I have just tried my note 4 on the tags I have programmed and worked on 3 different devices, S3, M8 and nexus 7, however with the note4 I get a compatibility error 'unknown tag type'
I even tried some fresh tags I have never programmed and got the same error.
The problem is I cannot remember what type of tags they were as I have had them for a while. I think they were milfaire......
I am also just starting to research and play around with the NFC technology. I am hoping it is a little more reliable that Llama was with geofencing or Wifi detection to change phone states/settings.
I purchased these and they should arrive this week http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E0NRESE/
I am also thinking about getting the Topaz 512 variants for the additional storage space like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FS4AF0S/
These are both "type 2" NFC chips. Depending on what you want to do, any Type 2 chip should easily store settings changes. If you want to store a lot of data or use fields, like with a business card, then you'll probably need to go to a type 4 chip.
I recommend staying away from the 1K chips as they are not as compatible. An example would be these that you would not want to get - http://www.amazon.com/Tags-Chip-Pack-Keychain-Bonus/dp/B00CE6QGLU/
Topaz 512's work
I ordered some Topaz512 chips to experiment with and received them yesterday. I can confirm that the Topaz512 do work with Note 4.

note 4 nfc tags
soooooo nope they don't work,I had a Note 3 and the tags I used do not work on the note 4, confirmed by Samsung Canada..you need the Samsung tactile 2..can't find them anywhere..soooo I only use NFC to communicate between my old note 3 (given to the misses) and my note 4...and I thought only Apple did the scam to change everything a bit so you'd have to buy everything again...
Galaxy Note Edge sucks at reading tags

So I bought the Topaz 512 chips and I am having issues with them being read by my Galaxy Note 4 Edge. There wouldn't be a difference with the Note 4 and Note 4 edge would there? My phone does end up reading them but it takes multiple taps- like 6 or seven before it reads it. Does not really save any time, I usually just give up and do the NFC task manually. I do not know if I am doing something wrong or what. Anyone else experiencing this? My first thought is that I have Tasker, NFC Tools and an app called MyLog that all can write to tags, could it be that the phone doesnt know what to use? I never have any issue with Tap and Pay. Any suggestions?
Necropost here. Is there an answer?the old tags I used with the s3 don't work, who knows what tags work for sure
Edit: the last post was on my birthday last year. weird.

NFC

Sorry about another "Which should I buy" thread -- Yes, I read before I post and I see a lot of them in this thread, but....
I will probably be buying either a Mate 9 pro, Honor V9 or Honor 10 pro.
(Perhaps I should paste all those words on magnets, and then throw them at the refrigerator)
GSM Arena says the Mate 9 Pro has NFC, but Huawei's own page does not really confirm this.
In some other Huawei phones, the Single Sim versions have NFC, and dual sim versions do not.
(I understand that for security/purchases NFC is tied only to the 1st sim in all dual sim phones -- that is not a problem)
Can anyone confirm versions/model numbers, and which/any/all support NFC?
also, different sources mention different things about the camera having actual optical zoom. Is this true? 2x or 4x?
Is it true that only the 6G RAM version has the 2K screen? Some sites seem to imply this. If anyone can point me to a trust worthy set of specifications, and/or a vendor that will actually send me the advertised version, I would appreciate it.
here ya go..google is your friend

Does the Axon 7 have an ANT+ chip?

Does the Axon 7 support ANT+ ?
I've seen a few forum posts mention it, but it's not listed in the specs.
I would assume so since there is a driver installed called "ANT HAL Service 4.0.0" if you look through the system apps. And would it really be a separate chip? I would assume it's part of the Snapdragon 820 SoC, radio related things tend to be on the SoC. So if one Snapdragon XYZ phone has ANT support, all SD XYZ phones should. Unless I'm wrong and it is actually a discrete chip.

well if some people said that LineageOS broke it, it should be working on stock, right?
Yes, it does. I use it regularly.

Why is ARCore not supported on the Pro M2

Can someone explain the reason that ARCore is not supported on the Pro M2? I also see a lot of camera apps listed as incompatible and I am assuming it has to do with no support for the Camera 2 API. Any ideas why Asus chose not to support these technologies and what (if anything) they will do about it? This phone which I just bought has less support than my 2 year old phone which supports both of these technologies. I feel like I moved backwards. Thanks in advance for any insights.
No one knows? I have searched and searched and came up with nothing.
ARCore requires certification, my best guest is it's not free so it does not work well in keeping the cost low. From list of devices, they are mostly not budget devices. I wouldn't know for sure. Check out this link https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/supported-devices

You may well be right but Google generally likes to make these types of things free so that they can get market share a lot quicker for any given app, tech, etc. Curious if a modified arcore.apk would work to bypass whatever checks it is looking for.
Other possibility might be the cost of hardware requirement to comply with Google's standard.
