can i print emails?

Hi
Just set up my work pop email all OK but can't find a print button to send to wireless printer!?!?!
Am I missing something or is this not something I can do?

I use an app called PrinterShare that does a nice job.

You'll wanna use something like "print share" app. I fill out real estate contracts on my tablet sometimes and it let's me print not only to any printer on the current WiFi network but also to any printer that has the client software running on it. Well worth the few bucks IMO.

Epson and Brother (maybe others) have free apps if you have one of those brands.

Does anyone know if I could send email to a pdf printer (to generate a pdf file). I want this as I can use pdf annotator to make additional notes to my emails.

This is probably the ONLY thing I've NEVER done with an Android tablet [yet].
My SIII has support for Printing, but it's unclear if Samsung did something or pre-installed some app to enable this... It would be nice if the OS just did this natively, I'm surprised you have to install an app, but that sounds simple enough... Damn, maybe I should be making printer apps instead of security apps, eh?

[APP]NFCSecure v1.3.5

NFCSecure offers Android users a fast and easy way to protect their devices. By utilizing NFC technology, NFCSecure prevents access to any of the phone or tablet’s functions until an associated NFC tag is scanned. The app can be used in place of inconvenient PIN/Password unlocking or in combination with them to enable two-factor authentication. Stop walking around unprotected, and install NFCSecure today!
Features Include:
Code:
- Fast NFC unlock of Android devices
- Easily pair your device with multiple NFC tags
- Option to disable lockscreen widgets (Android 4.2+)
- Optional NFC lock delay (i.e. Require NFC scan every hour or every 3 times unlocked)
- Option to bypass NFC scan by typing Gmail credentials (i.e. for lost NFC tags)
- Option to bypass NFC scan by typing saved PIN (i.e. for lost NFC tags)
Requirements:
Code:
-Any NFC-enabled Android device running 4.0+
-One or more NFC tags with read/write access
Coming Soon:
Code:
- A full range of NFC tags including NFC rings, wristbands, and stickers
- Web portal add-on to enable remote device locking/unlocking and NFC tag management
- Corporate app suite with web portal, user/device management and provisioning, security policy enforcement (minimum PIN, require encryption, etc.), remote locking/unlocking/wiping, geolocation, and more. Contact us for customization options.
Permissions Required:
Code:
- android.permission.INTERNET
-- Required for version verification and authentication with App Engine (Coming soon!)
- android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
-- Required for locking the device when you complete a reboot
- android.permission.NFC

- android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
-- Required to get a list of the accounts on the device for possible authentication.

FAQ
What devices are supported?
All of them! Well....if you have NFC at least.
What if I get locked out and lose all my keys?
Not to worry! Tapping on the app icon on the lockscreen will temporarily disable the lock, allowing you to authenticate with your Gmail account.
What NFC tags should I get, and where should I get them?
Within the app you can find a section called "Purchase NFC Tags". Here you can find a couple different sites that sell NFC tags which I have found cheap/cool/interesting/share worthy.
Can I use my NFC Key for storing other data still? I want to use it to trigger a <insert random action trigger here>
Currently, no.
Bugs and Issues
I dont think there are any. Please let me know what you find.

Awesome. Look forward to it. Any way of implementing multi user with android 4.2? Nexus 7 and such. Each kid has a key ring? Sounds legit

If you mean each key will unlock you to a off user, that's currently impossible until Google releases some open APIs for account management.
What you can do though is install the app on all the seperate user accounts and set different keys for each. The child would have to switch their account before scanning the key, but it would - i think - give you the result you're looking for.

Can't wait to try this at home. I have a bunch of Andytags(.com) everywhere. Should be interesting.

Its really best if youre able to get them on something you have with you constantly. The idea is to make it secure, not to be a pain in the ass to unlock your device. Try sicking one on your wallet so you have to tap your pocket, or maybe in your belt.
Someone saw this thread last night and contacted us about getting some NFC hardware to go along with our app, so hopefully soon well be able to provide some nice and convenient tags instead of slapping stickers everywhere.

Great job on the app, can't test though cause I have no nfc tags.

You can pick them up for stupid cheap on that site i mentioned above.

Sounds cool. Is it possible to make this process even quicker? Like simply tapping on a tag to unlock the phone?

I think you could probably achieve that by removing your lock screen, but as far as a stock device with NFC goes, your device won't actually scan anything unless the screen is on and the device is unlocked.

Really like the idea but could you impliment the HFC hack so it works with screen off?

That's not something i do. That's something your ROM dev does.

Havent got much (any) feedback about how the app functions. Has anyone actually tried the app out yet?

Seems like that is where most people are. Not too many people out there actually have NFC tags laying around.

[Q] NFC in the UK

Has anyone used their Xperia T to make NFC payments yet? Or used NFC at all? I found a digital passport app not too long ago. does this work?

I tried installing a patched google wallet app from modaco but the app wouldn't run, the app has been reported to work in the uk on rooted nfc capable devices. no idea why I can't get it working, feel free to give it a blast: http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-15-r87-v15/

I have only used NFC to connect to my Sony speaker I got for Christmas, along with "NFC easy connect" app, it works fine, but I also tried to share a picture with my wife (sgs3) but it failed and my brother (GN4) failed, only thing I could share from phone to phone was a contact. Perhaps I needed an app to share pictures, but I thought the point of NFC was simplicity :/ not tried it for payments yet, don't think I will anytime soon until it becomes much more reliable!

As far as I know, you need to be using the same app to be able to transfer stuff between phones. The only thing I've been able to share between different programs was a web page (stock browser to dolphin).
But I agree with you that NFC needs to be better standarized to be practical.

I've google-beamed something to my mate's phone (SGS3) using NFC and Bluetooth.
Both needed to have NFC and Google Beam enabled for it to work.
I've also bought some Smart Tags and have used them without issue.

HTC one sharing photo with s4 via nfc

How does nfc work? My mates got. S4 and tried to send me a photo but it just sends me to a dead play store link.
Any tips on how to work with any device?

did you make it work? I tried the same thing but all I heard is the sound twice but nothing. Somewhere I read, you need to have the Bluetooth on but didn't help...

I use "send!" from the app store which uses nfc to make a wireless connection so you have much better speed. But if you want to use pure nfc just install "Android Beam" and you can send things through nfc to others even if they don't have the app. Under share it will pop up with the app that allows you to send it.

Doh, I guess android beam is now baked in so just let the devices connect and it will auto share the content, as I said I use send!. Here's the official tutorial https://support.htc.com/en-uk/005-HTC_One/0G0/040

The s4 has to have s-beam off and nfc on then it'll work.

Whether it is the best or not I use NFC Task Launcher (on the Google play store). Has a wide array of tasks and can also use any of your Tasker tasks as well.
