      Hi,

      I've just received my NFC Ring (a friend of mine received it and give me the ring today).

      Seems that my Nexus 4 does not read my ring. I tested it with the inlay tags that come with the ring and it is working fine with them.

      I am not using any kind of case but a film in the back side of the telephone (I don't think that is its the problem but I don' really know.

      Thanks.

        Sometimes you have to press the ring to the case, not just tap it.
        Do you have a normal or alpha ring..??

          With My nexus 5 have to hold it in the right spot for about half a second, then it reads.

          If i quickly tap it, it never reads it.

            @Memnoch I think it is a normal one. Not just "press", it has to be the exact position. a milimiter moved or a degree twisted and it would not read it :(

              I have a standard NFC Ring and a Nexus 4 as well. The sweet spot on my Nexus 4 is pretty particular. I'm assuming you tested across the entire back side of the phone to see if there is an area with better NFC signal?

              For my particular phone, the sweet spot happened to be (looking from the back) about an inch and a half from the bottom and an inch from the left side. There are other spots that will work, but that seems the best.

                I can't unlock my N4 with the ring because of the cover I think....what do you think about the Alpha Ring? In my opinion the Alpha ring would "talk" better with the phone but I'd like to know if someone tried before buying...

                  I have the Alpha...with the case it's like 75-80%...without about 95%.
                  It does get annoying as hell sometimes ;)
