    Hello,

    We are deploying BB10 devices in our department and have agreed to use BBM as a way to track everyones location by updating out BBM status often.

    Can someone tell me if it is possible to write an certain status to an NFC tag so this is just a tap away?

    Smart Tags app and ShortcutMe seem like they cant do that.

    Thanks,

    There is an official thread for the app around here, where you'll get support from the developer, but from my experience you don't need the app open. However you can't read a tag if the phone is locked. This is a BlackBerry decision to maintain security, so all apps are affected.

    When backlight is off, or when device is locked, NFC Read mode is turned off by BlackBerry to conserve battery.

    Other than that, MyProfilesPro will execute the selected profile specified on the NFC tag regardless if the MyProfilesPro is in foreground, is thumbnailed, or not running at all.

    If you only want to change BBM profile (Status, Avatar, Message) then you can get MyProfilesLight which is a free app.

    @craiggger,

    Let me know (support at fonware dot ca) if you are interested to have the app customized for your use case, or if you have any problem using it.
