Angry Reading/Writing MiFare Ultralight on Nexus S (ICS)

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to read & write on a Mifare Ultralight. I know a couple of applications available on the Play Store allow the possibility to read them, but I didn't find any application allowing me to write back (for example, change the data and save it back).

Is there a way to do so?

Also, is it possible to plug in the Android to my computer to use the NFC capabilities and to code in another language than Java? (some kind of bridge)

Thanks a lot for your support!

Have you tried NXP NFC Writer app? As of now there is no way to use your phone as a USB NFC reader.

Well I have both TagWriter and TagInfo. I can read the content of my NFC chip with TagInfo, but I can't with TagWriter. That's why I'm looking for something else to do the job, but can't find much on the Play Store.

Is the tag write locked? Formatting Classic 1K tags to NDEF is part of the standard NFC/NDEF libraries on Android. This allows full write access.

If you're trying to do it without NDEF then you have a different set of issues you'll need to deal with.

Well, some pages are writable, some others aren't. Still, I can't get it to work with any apps I found (also the one people suggested in here).
