              Yep. For my other tags, it is just below the camera. For the ring, right on top of the lens seems to work best. Probably because of the aluminum body. The only plastic is around the camera.

                  The official HTC One sweet spot documentation is a lot larger; i had originally posted it in the other thread, but HTC changed their website around (again), Here's the updated version:
                  <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://forum.nfcring.com/topic11-10.html#p62">topic11-10.html#p62</a><!-- l -->

                  also, please post images of phones with sweet spot in the other thread, to keep this one clean (perhaps even locking this thread ?)

                    Hi Andreas,

                    When we're talking about a 'sweet spot' we are actually referring to the specific place where the rings will trigger a read/write.
                    Because of the construction of the rings this can be distinctly different to the read positions that you can use with a standard tag, and often significantly smaller.
                    The picture you're referencing actually shows where the chip itself and associated antenna are located in the HTC One, which is a good indicator of where to start looking for a sweet spot but isn't necessarily showing that the NFC Ring will read in that entire area.

                        Ya, clicking on Nexus 4 now just takes you to the Front Page.

                        EDIT: Here is the link that it should go to.

                              Hello. I am checking whether this ring is possible to use with a MOTO G?

                                @david-pinto From what I read at the NFC World website the Moto G doesn't have NFC, so therefore would not work with the ring. You should still check in the Settings if you have an option to turn NFC on under "Wireless & Networks" -> "More..." since I think there are a couple of versions of the model(at least one with and one without LTE radio).

                                "Motorola has confirmed to NFC World that its affordable Android smartphone, introduced in November 2013, does not have NFC" (http://www.nfcworld.com/nfc-phones-list/)
