Touchpad NFC? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I remember when touchpad was introduced HP did a whole shpeal about touch to share which basically used NFC I presume.. so is there a chance of getting NFC working on android or are drivers closed source for it?

It wasn't nfc . it was Bluetooth modified to touch share with other webos devices

Nfc is technically not a heavy sharing medium... It establishes the connection and whatever needed to be transferred went through Bluetooth. Otherwise there was no reason to touch them together

I know what NFC is. The Touchpad doesn't have it.

Touchpad does not have Near Field Communication technologies built into it.

Touchpad doesnot have nfc it just use bluetooth to transfer and communicate with other device!! I have 2 touchpad and that touch thing works between those two but it always prompts me to turn on bluetooth to share stuff!! So no NFC

I was under the impression that's what android relies on as well (that data transfers over Bluetooth once the NFC is established, but it's turned on automatically). Possible HP have there own proprietary system to detect 2 HP products touched together.

Bluetooth cuts wifi on 4.2.1

Hello.
When I use my Bluetooth headphones my wifi cuts out after about 10 minutes, it only affects the nexus because my xbox can still connect as can my 2 computers and laptop.
I know for a fact it's not my internet as my noise margin is currently at 19.5db download and 25.5db for upload.
help please??
Android 4.2 has a lot of Bluetooth issues. I don't know how to fix it, try to Google it?

I use Bluetooth and wifi at the same time all the time. I have a moga controller that's paired and surf no problem.

Asus, the maker of our N7, had to cut corners to come under $200 mark, so they specc'd a cheap WiFi/Bluetooth chip in the N7. Furthermore, they cut corners on QC, thus the atricious build quality and service issues.

I take this back. It doesn't happen all the time and a reset usually fixes it. Sometimes when I pair my Moga, my play store won't load. I can still surf but some apps wont connect. Rebooting fixes it until I attempt to pair again. Its not every time but about 1 out of 5 times.
I thought it was just the Moga Pivot app at first and I just use the universal driver now... but it still cuts wifi occasionally.
Probably just a quirk with 4.2.1

Uses for 1 NFC tag

Hello,
I have 3 NFC tags, 1 I use near my front door to turn on and off WiFi and the other one on my bedside table to turn on alarm clock.
I have 1 more, and I can't find any uses for it.
I've been searching the internet for good ideas and I didn't find a useful one. Can you help me?

I put one on the satnav holder in my car. I attach the phone to it and it opens up car mode
i put the other just near the door and that starts the laptop up by sending a magic packet via wifi

Enable magic packet/wake on lan (WOL) on your computer
Find an app that can send these magic packets to your sleeping computer
Computer is awakened.
I think it works on ethernet LAN too...not sure on that, though.

Wifi dies...

Have my pi set up running XBMC. my root filesystem is on a 160 G USB hard drive. I am using one of the recommended wifi dongles. Under heavy data transfer, wifi would go offline. Bought one of the tested/approved belkin powered hubs. No more dropped wifi under heavy transfers. Newest issue is if I let it sit idle for more than 3 or 4 hours, the wifi drops and won't come back without a hard reset of the pi. I made changes to the cmdline.txt that fixed it from dropping while idle when the wifi dongle was direct connected. No difference with it on the hub. Pi power supply is a 5v 5a supply, so there is plenty of juice available. Any ideas???

Can you get a log using dmesg once the Wifi dongle drops? That may give some insight.
Use:
dmesg | grep -i usb

I can put the hd on the hub and have no issues with it disconnecting. Currently the hd is on the hub and the wifi dongle is on the pi. Loses wifi under heavy network data transfer.

Post the output of ifconfig and iwconfig when you have a chance.

Try a bigger mA power supply for the raspi since you have attached an external hdd which requires more power, thats when and why your wifi dies...

Yup, those kinds of issues are ALMOST always due to not enough power.

Try turning off wifi while pairing. Once paired, turn it back on.

Many thanks for your quick reply.
I actually tried this last night but it didnt seem to work. I was trying to pair it with my Nexus S which is running Stock Android 4.1.2.
What I did I turned the wifi of Nook off, then paired it with my nexus s, it could find my nexus but didn't really connect properly (It did sort of paired as I got message from both devices saying that they would like to pair each other). When I then tried to send a file over bluetooth, it just never worked...

Pairing and connecting are two different things. You asked about pairing. I don't know how to help you with connecting.

Thank you for pointing this out, so once I can pair it doesn't necessarily mean that I can connect?

As far as I know, that is right. Connecting has a lot of variables like services offered, etc. I know very little about this so maybe someone else can help.

so there is currently no any fix for this bluetooth connection issue in CM10.2?
Is CM11 stable enough for daily use?? As I know it has not released a stable version yet.
Read up on making a backup of your 10.2 and then give cm11 a try. If you don't like it you can always go back. Small SD cards are cheap these days.
"Stable" is kind of meaningless imo.

Bluetooth issues

Anyone else have issues with bluetooth and calls?
When I'm in my car, it cuts in and out and is almost completely useless as a phone. Don't remember it being like this when new.
Att is sending me another phone to see if it does the same thing.

Afaik it wont be resolved with new phone as well. Its a bug in kitkat. Only way to fix this is turn wifi off when connected to bluetooth and driving.

I have a nexus 4 previously and now a moto x and s5. Everyphone has this issue.. My problem is when i am on call and driving for some reason i can hear others voice but others cant hear mine. If i switch to ear piece and back to bluetooth it works just fine again for sometime. So i searched a lot and found that turning wifi off solves the issue. It works for me atleast

I'm not doubting your experience at all. Though, I will add that I always have wifi off in the car when connected to Bluetooth (profile scheduler turns out of four me), but I still get the music shipping problem.

If your music stutters then it might be a problem with memory. Trying freeing up memory with clean master. Also check what process are running in settings>applications and kill some apps which are not useful for you. Try it.. Hope it works out for you
