I can bang the ring against the phone all I want, it won't read.

don't bang it, you have to hold it on the right spot for a second, then it will work much better.

It takes a moment to power up the chip and read the info on the chip.

Awesome, let us know here if you need help with it!

Update on this: I did contact them and talk to them and they are refusing to remove their project...

I've never used that sugru stuff, but saw it online when it came out and figured it'd be useful for just about anything day to day. Must buy some soon! Great tip.

It has two inlays, one is black and the other is transparent. Sometimes you could turn it around, so that the inlay you don't like faces the bottom.
Range varies. If your phone isn't very good then the range will be bad. Note, this has nothing to do with how expensive your phone is. Your phone can be expensive as well as being crap.
Sony make a good phone with a decent range on the NFC antenna.

Yeah, I believe there's a 3D model out there somewhere. Printing in plastic is a whole different scenario - there you're not dealing with the negative effects of nearby metal and so you're not limited nearly as much as you are if you replace the chip/inlay in a metal ring.
If you'd like to have a play around, pm me and I'll get your address to send you a ring with a defective inlay.

Glad you got a working ring again!

Also waiting for the silver and black carbon fibre I pledged for...

Buy one now, these things move VERY slow!

Just popped by for nostalgia reasons, saw this thread, decided to repost a previous thread on this topic. It even has video of it in action ...

We're aiming to introduce VCard support soon! We have it in a branch on the repo just hasn't been completed and merged yet..

You'll have to adhere to the container rules laid out in the NFC specs, and set up an app that will read your nfc ring and inject the text into the place that you want it.

Just got back from my vacations and I'm catching up :-)

hi group,

i would use it to store game data combined with the nfc game kids like my free system:
NFC Playing Figures / Lego´
where you can make interactive playing systems.

or even with the new lego dimension system:
Lego Dimensions RFID/NFCSystem

so it is possible to meet together and come to you playingstate with one short handmovement.

sunny wishes,
Alex

Hi Nishantha,

I believe this has been sorted for you now via our support system.

Thanks!

Note 3 also doesn't require swipe.. So looks like it's Samsung only, TouchWiz modification?
