[APP][2.3.3+][NFC] NFC ReTAG --> re-use write protected NFC tags
- Thread starter ascsa
- Start date
Hello @ascsa. LOVE the app, can't live without it.
I'm having trouble generating a backup to restore on my new phone. I'm using the PRO app on my old Galaxy S10+. The "Export DB" button doesn't seem to do anything and I can't find a backup file anywhere on my device. I tried "Update/Repair DB" but no luck and just disabled auto backup to see if that would help.
If I wait a while will the PRO app generate an auto-backup that'll appear somewhere accessible? Or is there some trick to this I'm missing...
Thanks!
JD

24Bored of the NFC features of your devices?
Every NFC tag you tried (hotel keycards, lift passes, price tags, merchandising key fobs etc.) is write protected?
Don�t want to buy plain tags for playing around?
Try "NFC ReTAG"!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.widgapp.NFC_ReTAG_FREE
--> Reads the ID of the (write protected) NFC tag and connects theses tags via a app internal database to various functions (e.g. Toggle Wlan/ Bluetooth, launch installed apps, trigger TASKER tasks, start navigation, set ringer mode ,browser etc.)
XDA-Portal article:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nfc-re-tag-application-allows-users-to-re-use-write-only-tags/
(misleading title
--> read-only or write protected tags!)

OK, just one remark, as I�ve been asked again and again:
The ONLY way to get the PRO version is Google Play. There is NO apk download or whatever!
EVERY OTHER VERSION YOU COULD FIND IS AN ILLEGAL VIRUS INFECTED PIRATE VERSION!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issues with default app chooser ("Choose an action"):
- Writeable tags --> just write a special NFC ReTag tag (more button).
- Non-writeable tags --> just disable background dispatching within all other NFC Apps (every good NFC App should have such a setting). System Apps like �tags� can be disabled via the App info screen.

Hidden Features ICS Edt.4Update 1.6
Update 1.6 just uploaded to the playstore ... just some new features ... re-design is still in progress ;-)

* Connect to a specific WiFi SSID
* Enable/ disable Mobile Hotspot
* New toogle parameter for Mobile Data

4Hmmm, seems that there is a strong need for this wifi choosing feature ...no problem, will add it within the next update -->release: probably next weekend, together with some additional functions, settings and bugfixes
Ok, got it.
Hmm, would makes sense if you have several paired bluetooth devices in range at the same time.... never happend to me ... but I will have a look ... the problem will probably be the so called "bluetooth standard" ... it´s a mess !
Added the activity "enabled WiFi Hotspot" to one of my prototypes ...just enables the preconfigured wifi hotspot ( I disabled the SSID and Key settings)..... works great on my testing devices ...but some serios hacking is envolved ... so perhaps I will add this as some BETA function ...
GPS Toggle is only available on rooted devices ... currently I don´t want to make NFC ReTag a device administrator .... but, at some Point, I think I will have to do it....have you tried tasker with the secure settings plugin? .. I think there is a GPS option ... never tested by myself ...
btw. on all my devices GPS is always ON ...if it´s not needed android turns it automatically off .. and from my personal experience I do not see a significant impact on battery life with GPS alsways ON ...But sure, I understand this feature request.
Yes ,got it ;-) ... GPS as mentioned above.
Yeah, got it :laugh:
Is weird that you didn't think about it, because also the app NFC task launcher has this option
I have a look at other NFC apps,frequently .... some are good, some are bad ... nfc task launcher is a good one I think, but anyway, I will not add every feature from every other app ... the features must make sense to me ... or at least there is a strong user demand ;-) ... and I always prefere to implement some new and unique features, rather than these "me too" features ....
As mentioned, not in the near future...it´s something for the mid or longterm ....3Update 2.5
I will have a look at one or two additional things until Monday or Tuesday, and then I will decide the final scope for the next update:
small update --> probably end of next week || bigger update--> additional one or two weeks ...
OK, update released ...Main app 2.5 and plugin 1.2
Update 2.5 (2.5.x = fixes)
* Support for placeholders (e.g. [%UID], [%DAT])
* Tasker Task advanced (pass variables to tasker)
* ReTag Broadcast (for 3rd party apps)
* Improved Timestamp activity (Define Calendar ID and Title prefix via settings)
* Language support for German
* Minor improvements, tweaks and bugfixes
Looks like a small update, but the placeholder support and the advanced Tasker tasks and last but not least the ReTag Broadcast gives you lots of new and unique possibilities ...
