Is it possible to use NFC with the screen off using stock 4.4.2?? I can't find anything about it.
NFC Mods?

I would have thought so as it's an antenna based system, it should be active as long as it's turned on, unless it's powered down in a sleep mode whilst screen is off.
To me that would make it more of a hassle using your phone to use it rather than just swipe it past

No. NFC active only when the screen is; Android security "feature".
This is why the word MOD was mentioned. It's obvious it's a security "feature" by default.
He's asking about a MOD to make this happen. Like the NFC LockScreenOff Enabler Xposed Module that works on great on most AOSP ROMs. Including the Moto X. It just doesn't work on stock. I would also love to know how to make this mod for Stock Moto X 4.4.2.
I wonder if this is the reason why the Moto Skip doesn't work as well when the Moto X screen is off, the sensitivity seems much weaker when the screen is off compared to on.
"Stock" was also mentioned. Mod ≠ Stock.

Two things are going on with a Skip when the screen is off. First, a magnet in the skip wakes the device. Then the NFC element in it can be read.
This is because the NFC doesn't poll when the screen is off. Which is why they make mods like NFC LockScreenOff Enabler
Unfortunately it doesn't work on Stock 4.4.2 ROMs.
So I am looking for someone who has modded the smali code to poll NFC with the screen off with the NFC.apk
You couldn't be more wrong dude. Stock is any STOCK Motorola ROM. Modded or not it's still a STOCK ROM. If it's AOSP or anything other than Motorola's manufactured ROM. It's NOT STOCK. Please troll elsewhere.

Personally, I think you're wrong. Stock implies unmodified. Now, if they were stock and rooted, that would be a different story.
In any case, OP, unless you o it yourself, you probably will not get a way to use NFC with the screen off, especially if you have a non-DE phone.

Personally you're wrong. Sorry.
Anyone know of any mods to make this work? I've been looking for sometime but haven't found anything.
@imnuts is a Recognized Developer. As a new member you could show some respect. This is a good example of why so many developers stopped helping here.

It is just a magnet + nfc tag making it power on when near...
Is it posible to use magnet with other task beside unlocking phone with screen off?
