You do not even need to stick them to anything for them to work. You can just leave the wax like paper on the back and leave it sitting on the table. Just an option.
You should read page one of this threadOn my Verizon S3, every time I scan an NFC tag it gives me a popup stating something along the lines of "About to open browser. Continue?" However the same tags do not cause this popup on my friends' AT&T S3. What gives? Anyone know how to get it to just do the action and not ask me to confirm it each time?
Programing an NFC tag is all well and good, but from what I can gather apps that "program" them need root access to be able to do a couple of tasks, ie turn off/on mobile data. Not exactly ideal.
I've placed two individual NFC tags on my desk. On one side I have a tag that reduces the volume of my phone so, if I do have a phone call, it won't be too loud that it'll disturb my co-workers. On the other side of my desk, I placed another tag that - at the end of the work day - I pass my phone over and it restores my phone volume to max.
Why didn't you just put that on one tag?
I just have one right now by my front door so when I leave the house it turns wifi off, mobile data on, screen brightness and volume max. Then when I get home it turns my wifi back on, mobile data off and turns on auto brightness.

I would love to do the same thing, but I think you have to touch the sticker everytime you walk in and out of the door, right? I guess, it would be wonderful if NFC could pick up as far as few feet at least so you don't have to actually touch the sticker.
It doesn't have to touch, they have an inch or two of range. Which doesnt sound like a lot but means you don't have to actually put the phone down and pick it back up. I almost just swipe it on the counter on my way in and out. It is a little annoying that the phone has to be unlocked though.
You can only toggle ringer state (ring, vibrate, silent) not volume level.
Oo didn't know that the phone needs to be unlocked to have those tags register with the phone :-(. It seems to me that NFC system is not yet up to the 21st century. I am almost convinced to abandon NFC idea and use a tasker application such as timeriffic or something similar.
My Verizon S3 won't actually send the text, it'll compose it but I have to look at the phone and hit send. Is this the way it should work? Thanks
Also, what size do you recommend? I see there are 48byte tags out there as well as 1K tags. Do the higher capacity tags work with the S3? Would I be able to do more with a 1K tag?
