Default Make your own Xperia Smart Tags :)

If you happen to have un-used NFC tags laying around in a drawer, here is how to use them with the Xperia Smart Tag app from Sony.

Use an app which is capable of writing custom URIs to NFC tags (NFC Task Launcher is able to do that ) and write the following URIs to your NFC tag:

For the red tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/2/smarttags1
For the blue tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/1/smarttags1
For the white tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/4/smarttags1
For the black tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/3/smarttags1

Have fun :)

Great I will certainly keep this marked, I didn't know you had to write the tags to be a colored sony tag :/

Do you happen to know what sort of tags we can use?

I have been browsing for NFC tags for my Xperia S when it arrives, and i found quite a few different kinds available online...I don't want to go and order a bunch (I plan on using a lot of tags) and not be able to write them and such. I get the 2 free tags with the phone, but thats just not enough for me :P

So yea, know any good sites where I can order them? (preferably cheap)

thanks!

Here's a shop out of Denmark. IDK what shipping rates run in Europe. I am not aware of any in Holland.

I've aggregated quite a few shops (and need to update the list) here http://www.jwksoftware.com/nfc-tags

We ship to The Netherlands like Krohnjw said.
Tags are pre-formatted and ready to be read/written. Shipping to The Netherlands is approx. 22€ and shipping time 2-3 days.

Thanks for the links

Now I'm all set for when my phone actually arrives, and will probably order my tags soon after :P

http://www.nfcplaza.com/pages/page.a...tlijst&gid=174 edit: minimal order count of 200 -.-
This is also a seller for these tags, but does anyone know what kind we can use?

Another question:
Is it possible to use existing tags, like cards for public transport (OV-Chipkaart), to function as tag to direct our beloved Xperia S to do tasks?
I scanned one and it does recognize it but says it's in use.

Is there also a free app to write the tags? I don't have Credit Card so I can't do the billing, can't find an alternative either.
