Apple has locked down the NFC capabilities of their phones towards using apple pay, there's not much we can do about that. While they announced that it will be available for developers, I am uncertain of if we will see things like unlock with nfcring will be accepted into the app store.
Here's a thread for future reference: https://forum.nfcring.com/topic/865/nfc-the-times-they-are-a-changin/2
No, this is not something that is worked upon, Android doesn't really have inbuilt support for locking certain apps, it's usually a feature of skinned versions of android from the manufacturer of the device.
Hi, First off, I moved your post into a new thread, as it wasn't related to the thread you posted in.
Secondly, How are you currently opening the gate? I've seen (movies) people use a garage door fob or using a pincode lock on the side.
I think it's safe to say that the gate installers won't get you a nfc enabled access point unless they have such a service/device readily available to them, Which means that you'll either have to find a service that does or roll your own.
If you haven't already- which should have been your first step, give them a call and see if they provide alternative ways of opening the gates.
Hi, Welcome to the NFCRing forums,
could you please a bit more details about what isn't working, other then "doesn't work"?
We can't help you if we do not know what errors you get, and if it is related to your ring or if it's a app problem (if that's the case, this is the wrong forum for support).
What have you tried so far, can you confirm if your ring is functional otherwise?
edit; I suspect that you' may be attempting to write a large file to a small tag.
I can rapport that the visa ring looks badass. No Epoxy, no inlay visible! It's all one big "unibody" design. There's no visible seam either! Crazy! 2017 will truely be amazing.
@Astrit said in Shipping & Usability:
- Does it get shipped to Kosovo/Europe
yes, It'll be sent from the UK.
- Can i use it instead of a normal Elevator Tag and do i need extra stuff as this is the main reason why i want to use hen i have my hands full just to swipe it and open the elevator.
That's entirely up to what sort of NFC the elevator uses, and if the people maintaining the access cards will give you access with a 3rd party device (the NFCRing).
I know nothing for NFC so please let me know if i can do similar stuff.
Welcome to the world of NFC, I'm sure you'll be amazed when you realize how much you are already using NFC in your everyday life and opportunities to use it even more!
RFID reader eh? Either way- Way ahead of it's time! Cool!
Unless somebody else in the community has these phones, I'm afraid you'll have to test for yourself and report back to us! :)
Engraving was a kickstarter-pledge, and was highly delayed because of the issues and hard to track these custom rings after, AFAIK it is not something they want to offer to everyone thought the store.
Every custom ring has to be manufactured and shipped individually, which is a huge pain the behind for the team to manage and deal with incase the ring cracks or the epoxy gets loose.
If you are interested in this for a special purpose (other then just having your name on it for no apparent reason other than "coolness"), I suggest contacting support@nfcring.com though email for details.
@MrStein I'm pretty sure we all are curious about your projects! You should keep us in touch! :D
Hi, What do you want to do with a ring-blank? Inserting your own chip with an antenna is not recommended.
Futhermore, a 3D printed version is recommended if you're trying to make your own, where you can modify the size as needed.
Is there actually a benefit of pre-ordering? Seeing as us in Sweden has very few terminals of the sort, I wouldn't really benefit of doing so if there wasn't a incentive.
Hello, @Domenico .
What exactly are you trying to achieve here? Could you please elaborate ?
You cannot pay with the current NFCRings available. If you are talkng about the VISA Ring available at the select area of Rio, for the Olympic games, they only work with VISA, in Rio at this moment.
@johnyma22 right, my bad. Not thinking before typing. :p
so this device doesn't work with either of the nfcrings?
Have you tested this or has somebody told you? Would be nice to have a confirmation of it, so we could put it on a list of 'do/not'work'.
Nice, I'll be trying this after vacation! Exciting to see some development on desktop use for nfc readers!
