I'm curious too. I currently own a MiBand and everything works fine.
I think we'll have to wait for Android L which supports Bluetooth LE unlocking.
Currently, it works with a Tasker profile, though it's often a bit slow and can take up to 5-10 minutes untill it realises that the Miband is there / not there. On the other hand, if it's security you're thinking about, it may be a solution.

can you link where u got the mi band from? and what price you paid?

I got mine from ibuygou and paid 30$ for it. Though there are other major Chinese sites that sell it (like Banggood, ...)

For now there's no solution for truly proximity-unlock as in MIUI.
But for other phones only near solution is Xposed-module No Lock Home (all other apps non-functional for reasons).
It will to enable secure lock-screen if no connection with bracelet e.g. you lost phone = distance over 10 meters.
When Mi Band connected in module settings once tap "plus" icon > Bluetooth (MAC address)
This will fill MAC-address in field below and auto-locking will work.
Experiment with other settings too and don't forget to donate to author of module.
Maybe sometime he will add unlocking based on signal strength from band as in MIUI: I posted feature-request.

Did no lock home work for you? I thought it didn't support bluetooth le?
Currently i'm using tasker profile but it's sloooooow

Will this work if we use MIUI ROM?

On cm12 (android 5.0), smart lock with miband actually works!

NFC Tags that work with the S6

Just to confirm the Kamor NFC tags - NTAG203 Chip (link) works well with the Galaxy S6 phone.

I have thought about buying some of these for a couple different uses. I'm curious what other people are actually using these for on a regular basis. Also how helpful is the "programmable" feature with these when paired with the S6?

In general NFC tags have there uses... I mean there are apps out there that can do almost similar functions if not identical to what NFC tags do. For example an app called Llama can do similar functions such as switch things on/off based on your cell or GPS location. It has a mirad of customizable functions that can be triggered. Another is Tasker. However with NFC Tags, one big advantage as you all may know is the "on demand" of executing functions with the tags. Hence when I put my phone in my car charger the NFC tag that's stuck to the cradle instantly puts my phone in car mode, shutdown Wi-Fi, enable Bluetooth and launch my music player. Same goes for night mode at the night stand charger... Again on demand oppose to time or location. The programming aspect and features are based on the software you use to create the functions. You can pretty much do all the basic phone toggles except for enable/disable GPS. (Android security feature) Some have predefine tasks that you can use to write on the tag as soon as you install the app. Trigger, one of the apps I'm currently using also has predefined brand functions. Like Samsung related tasks to put the phone in low power mode along with other custom functions... However its not device specific so these functions can be a hit or miss in regards to operating. Oddly the latter did not work on my S6. But another NFC app may have it right.
So far I'm really liking these NFC Tags. Not sure if there are better/more features than others but for basic stuff these are doing a lot.

I just bought NFC tags 512, should get them by Saturday, it's for BT in my car as the S6 won't automatically connect to my HTC Car Stereoclip module

I purchased these for my M7 and they still work for the S6

Nice price!!

I have some of the Samsung brand "TecTiles" NFC tags. I've had them for two years. I've yet to find a really good use for them. I'm more likely to use automation based on BT connections or whatnot using Llama, Tasker and/or Trigger as s-one mentioned. I thought I finally had a good use for them recently, and made some things with Trigger, programmed my tags and got ready to rock. I think realized that I can put a shortcut to the Trigger task on my home screen and that it's just as easy, if not easier, to click on that shortcut than to get my phone in just the right spot to hit the NFC tag.

I've got some tags that came with a Moto X 2013 that seem to work OK with the S6.

Sorry for posting this in an old thread but suspect it is the right way anyway as the question is about NFC tags
Could some one confirm WHICH NFC tags/cards Actually work with the Samsung S6(we have the ACTIVE)???
We have some laying around but when we get message saying"nfc tag not supported"
Thank you for assisting

NFC not working properly

Is anybody having any issues with NFC? I have NFC always on, but most of the times it doesn't work (doesn't read the tag), unless I open the magic tag app: the NFC icon is always there, but it looks like it gets deactivated somehow: I tried enabling the performance mode, but the issue is still there...
Thanks,
GM

Is the app protected in phone manager, battery?

NFC is an hardware feature, it looks like it becomes inactive and the only way to make it work is open an application that uses it, or turn it off and on again, and this behaviour makes it useless..

I am using it quite often and I did not have this issue. I have it always turned on and it never turned off. Which rom do you have? (B1**) because in the last update they have done some changes.
However since I have never seen a H8 with this problem a factory reset might help.

NFC is hardware but requires software like IR. And battery management and memory management sometimes messes with them.
Try backup (Huawei native backup app), factory reset and restore.

I checked and both magic tag and nfc service are set not to be optimized: I can't find magic tag in the list of the protected apps though.....

Have you factory reset it? No one complains about it

Definitely not a problem on mine either. Maybe if you tried a factory reset like mentioned previously, or ensured you're running the latest version of firmware

Some recently installed app could have messed with it. Try a factory reset and check with the apps as you install it.

hello, mine is not working at all. may be a hardware problem? i just got the phone and i couldn't do the tap to transfer with my old phone, and i can't read tags i made with trigger. also the native app won't read them. of course nfc is on

I realized that the NFC doesn't work when you place the honor 8 back to back with another phone. The receiver for the NFC seems to be at the top, so what I tried was pointing the top of the phone towards the back of another phone and it worked.

That's kinda bad, but not as bad as Sony's placement (at the front)

I have never encountered this problem with my H8.Try factory reset,if that does not work then maybe there is a problem with the rom you are currently using.

True!That's odd

It is indeed very odd, I spent hours fuming that I might have purchased a faulty device but I just thought to try it and bingo. Small annoyance when compared to how nice of a phone the H8 is overall.

Since I don't use NFC very much, I don't any issues with placement, but it annoys me a little when using it.

Is there a way to uninstall or turn off The magic tag app?

NFC Service Optimized? Magic Tag Optimized>?
How? Where is Magic Tag? I can't find it as well... Help!

For me, the NFC problems (which were severe) were fixed with the Nougat update.

Smart lock add NFC tag

In Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ..... there is no option for NFC tag. Why is that? It only lets me add bluetooth device. I have NFC tag that I want to use to unlock, but I can't find that in Trusted devices.
Any hints?
Thanks

Still looking for a way to add NFC tag under SmartLock. It worked when I had Nexus 6P. What am doing differently with S8?

tasker + secure settings will do what you want.

Why can't I do it using SmartLock? This was available on Nexus 6P, and it is a standard Android feature. Is it a bug in Samsung S8 software?

Does everyone with stock S8+ have the same issue? Is there really no NFC tag option in Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ?

Before firmware update I can used this without problem but now I can't found this settings.

Well then this is a bug. How do we report it to Samsung? I need to unlock my phone when it's on NFC tag, without rooting my phone.

Got an update from Samsung last night, but this bug is still not fixed. No NFC option under SmartLock

It's not just Samsung bug. NFC Smart lock also disappeared on Lineage OS on my Nexus 5 and with out any system updates. I've read that it has to something with Google play services and it's missing from some other phones too.

I need the solution right now. It's very annoying[emoji58]

NFC Smart Unlock was also removed on the Google Pixel phones with a 7.1.2 update and is still gone in the 8.0.0 (Oreo) update I just installed now. It was likely removed because it was buggy and stopped working on some phones (like mine).

Please comment on this why it is not there?

Did you read the post above yours? It explains why. And this is S8+ forum, not Zenfone forum....

Googled removed it due to lack of use. If you have an old NFC tag paired, it'll still work, but no way to add new ones

This is pretty disappointing... I had looked into getting an NTAG216 chip encapsulated in glass implanted, with unlocking my phone as one of the possible novel uses of it, but I guess I can forget that!

I guess we need some tweaks to get back NFC Smart Lock feature, like Magisk, scripts type of method and all that by all means.
Is there somebody who knows how Google blocked it technically?Assuming the culprit must be Google Play Services, though, if so, we done...?

I think it isn't a bug... And it is not removed on purpose... I am running the latest Software for my Smasung S8+ (7.1.1) and I can still add NFC Tags. Under SMart Lock I go to trusted devices and then add NFC tag. I already have two NFC tags in there, so I dont know if this feature is still availible to me because I added one on Version 7.0 so maybe you had to add one earlier to still have this option unlocked which wouldnt make any sence tho... I suggest you try the app NFC Tools Pro and NFC Tasks (like tasker) which both work together very well and let you allow to unlock you phone with the tag.
Best regards

I have found a workaround, though it requires root and manually editing a preferences file.

How to enable Preferred WiFi Calling on Android P Developer Preview?

As was shown here: https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-preferred-wifi-calling-option-verizon-pixel-pixel-xl/ you could enable WiFi calling as your preferred calling method with this nice little ADB command. I can confirm with Oreo it worked, and stuck through reboots and all. I have however now sideloaded my Verizon Pixel with the Developer Preview of Android P. It was a smooth upgrade, however I can no longer get WiFi calling to be preferred with the ADB command. It was originally still listed there, and was still containing the "2" value, but the setting no longer worked. I did a factory reset to start fresh, and I notice that the setting is no longer present when doing the “settings list global” command. I tried adding the line and it still does not work. Anyone have a workaround or any ideas on what I can try to get the WiFi calling to be preferred again? I really rely upon it at work, as we have almost no cell signal, and I have come to love the previous ability I had to have it be the Preferred method for all my calls. Since I have one of the jacked Verizon Pixels, I was never able to unlock the Bootloader, so there is no going back for me! I do also want to say on that note though, for the last week, since I did the factory reset and re-did everything, my phone has been rock solid on the "P" Developer Preview!

I know there was a flashable magisk module that enabled the options, but it doesn't help with the actual ims status(*#*#4636#*#*, phone settings, ims status). It might be that you need the official Verizon rom that includes the necessary lib files, or that the dev preview doesn't include those and therefore you can't yet enable it?

I though about the Verizon thing as well, but I also used the Developer Preview for Oreo, and it worked with it just fine, so I am thinkning they have just moved it somewhere else in the "P", or something of that nature, but I am hoping that someone here can possibly figure it out!

I'm having the same problem after a recent update. WiFi calling no longer works, and the option has disappeared from settings.
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* no longer brings up the menu, either.
I tried via adb shell to set wfc_ims_mode=2, but that doesn't work. `settings list global` shows that it is set to 2, but even after reboot wifi calling still doesn't work.

Probably just something that handy yet been implemented, being it is a Dev preview . Same thing with the lockscreen shortcut icons for camera and phone.

Just an update. I stuck a T-Mobile SIM card in my phone and after using the magisk module I mentioned, the options appeared for the advanced and wifi calling. I'll do it again tomorrow and pay a screen . It's almost midnight here so gonna crash

I'm running stock p on verizon. Hoping someone comes up with a solution.

Experiencing this issue after upgrading my Pixel XL and my wife's Pixel 2 to the Verizon Pie.
Details for my Pixel XL:
Android Version 9
Android Security Patch Level: August 5th, 2018
Kernel Version: 3.18.10-ga765425
Build Number: PPR1.180610.009
I used to use the ADB hack flawlessly, now I can't seem to make WiFi Calling Preferred over mobile network. So even though I have one bar that goes in and out, it uses the network then drops.

I'm gonna pm ya

I haven't even updated to P yet and mine stopped working on the last security patch. I can set it back using adb. Reboot and wifi calling comes on. The first phone call works for about 5 minutes, then drops. The settings database values go back to default. The only way to get it to work again is to go through the whole process again.
Too much trouble. Sure would be nice to just turn it on and have it work.

If you've already had WiFi calling working previously with pixel (I can only confirm first gen works with this)
Add this : system/buildprop under additional properties -Make sure to enable read write on "system" first and then add the following (see doc).

Doc here
Just copy paste all lines according to instructions from previous post. Check and make sure under phone menu that you are instructions registered

I didn't not know. Can't use it in France anyways so I'm not worried about it.

Doesn't work in DP5
Hoping that someone else here can verify it in the regular version of pie.
I didn't switch to the RTM because WiFi calling is too important and I did want to test it though.
