- also if two people have the same macros, shortcuts..
and both have nfclauncher...
can they use the same tags?
i dont see why not unless writing to the tag is devices specific (shurgs)10-20-11 11:11 AMLike 0 -
But this can be done with MediaKeyBooster application combined with ShortcutMe.
MediaKeyBooster can detect your clicks (and multi clicks) on the media keys even when the device is locked.10-20-11 12:11 PMLike 0 - Ahh, did not know NFC is off while locked. Thought it was on since the NFC icon stays there while locked. From what I understand of MediaKeyBooster, having a Media Key launch SCM to unlock the phone would sort of defeat the purpose of having the phone locked. If the NFC worked then the NFC sticker would be the only place to unlock the phone other than me typing it in...10-20-11 12:56 PMLike 0

However if convenience wins a bit over security, the new version of MediaKeyBooster will allow you to define a series of media key clicks to password login to your BB.
For example you can specify that VolumeDown+VolumeUp+VolumeDown+VolumeDown can unlock your BB.
MKB will then disable the login feature if it finds out someone tries to find out what your media key combination is.10-20-11 02:12 PMLike 0 - It is a security concern when a NFC tag or a series of media key clicks can unlock your BB.

To be able to tap a tag and do something, the Read/Write mode of NFC is needed.10-20-11 02:39 PMLike 0 -

fk 'em.10-20-11 05:20 PMLike 0 - Perhaps a little gimmicky, but to be perfectly honest I've found NFCLauncher to be legitimately handy. Like when I've stuff to carry out to my car, it's nice to just have a tag to tap on my way out the door compared to typing in a shortcut in ShortcutMe.10-20-11 06:05 PMLike 0

'IsWifiOn', 'IsRadioOn', and 'IsNfcOn' are all using similar APIs, but none of those APIs automatically pops up a dialog box each time an app is just checking the state of that communication channel.
So, it looks like that it is a bug in the Bluetooth API, and hopefully it will be fixed in new version of OS.
(I spent several hours a while back trying to find another API for bluetooth that behaved in the same way as APIs for wifi, NFC, and Radio, but I didn't find any replacement)10-21-11 01:52 PMLike 0 - Correct.

boo erns... any workarounds?
maybe i can determine the bluetooth toggle on some macros and isbton in others..
but i found the toggle is not accurate as well ; <
cause right now i have:
Car setting-
launch manage connections
turn on bt
and then set Loud profile
coming out of that setting is okay..
but when trying to go from sleep to medium i have to check for BT on cause i can go into car mode from any setting i am currently in..Last edited by knowledge_6; 10-21-11 at 02:26 PM.
