- Anyone know what the NFC Command is that tapping a phone (9930 in my case) invokes? I finally got NFC pairing to work by essentially writing a tag to the Gateway, using the "NFCL_Toggler" command in NFCShortcuts. Anyone who has paired with NFC, can you look and see?
Thanks for the help.07-19-12 09:29 AMLike 0 -
As for the original question, I was having an issue pairing with NFC. It worked at first, then stopped. I contacted BlackBerry, scoured forums, to no avail. I finally got it working again by creating a tag and writing it to the Gateway. it basically toggles the Bluetooth on and off. I wondered if that was how it was designed.

So, instead of doing the usual and combersome thing of putting the Gateway into Discover mode and then search for it from the BB, then confirm the connection on both BB and the Gateway, you just tap the Gateway .
Now, I am not sure if the tap also turns on the BT. Can either of you confirm how it originally worked? Did the tap both turned on Bluetooth and then paired the devices?07-22-12 10:50 PMLike 0 - I think the way the gateway works is that its NFC Tag has informartion about the Gateway, the information that is needed to pair with it like BT MAC address/etc.

The issue started after I was messing around with some shortcuts in NFCTags and I believe I altered tag 1. Long story short, I did all the things they say to clear the Gateway, deleted all NFC tags except one, tried to reinstall NFCTags, deleted all BT settings, etc. Nothing worked. I even contacted BB, but no help (although they tried).

I was creating some new shortcuts and tags and made edits to Tag 1. Not sure if that affected the NFC command for the Gateway.
Anyway, it now works perfectly and it seems to be more due to a minor change I made in a Bluetooth option. Cannot remember which one, unfortunately.
My issue appears to have had nothing to do with NFC Shortcuts.

Another question:
What happens if you open NFCShortcuts app and tap the Gateway (make sure NFC and the backlight is on)? Does NFCShortcuts ask you if you want to add the tag?07-25-12 03:49 PMLike 0 -
And it connected to the Gateway before I said "yes" or "no".
Hope this helps.
