I would like to use NFC when the screen is off but this is not possible atm.
I want to use it for sound profiles for example but now I have to unlock the screen all the time wich kind of wastes the NFC advantage for me.
If someone would make a MOD so NFC is always on would this mean the phone will no longer go into deep sleep?

I'm using the NFC.apk from the Xperia Z thread, and it works for me (the only problem i noticed is that the phone doesn't display the NFC icon in the status bar, but NFC still works)

Hello,
is there a way that i can use NFC when Screen is Off or Locked ?
NFC works only atm when Phone is on and Screen is unlocked.
Ha! You mentioned my pet hate about Android NFC. No you cannot use it with the screen off. It is supposedly for security but it is totally stupid. The whole use of NFC is best with screen off. For example, you go into your car, hold your phone near an RFC sticker near the steering wheel and it changes your ring tone volume etc and enable driving mode. Come into your home, hold it near an RFC sticker near your front door and it uses a quieter ringer etc.
But you don't want to unlock your phone everytime for this to work. Really stupid and ruins NFC for me! But its not HTC, its Google.
there are several mods for using NFC while screen off. (just slightly modified nfc.apk)
I guess it's just a matter of time until those mods will be ported for the One. (still sounds like Braveheart to me :laugh
Obviously, you'll need root for that.
@jonstatt - I guess the logic is that, if someone had a password set and someone developed a way of getting around that, put it on an nfc chip... swiped it and your into the phone.
I agree it's annoying but it is for the purpose of security.
Hey all.
I know I'm not the only one but my At&t HTC One kinda annoying seeing nfc that I can't even use the way I want to and power save option on the notification bar that I really would never use. Has anyone found a way to remove it?

Root and use custom rom or root and use modaco tools to remove...use the search function

I read that you can long press on the notification, and disable the app and it would actually still be turned on.
Just a question... How did you even get to show an NFC icon on your device? I myself wanted to at least show that icon when my NFC is turned on to no avail. This has been bothering my for weeks already as I am afraid that I might be having a broken NFC chip on my device as everytime I toggle it I don't see any N icons at the statusbar at all.

For NFC to work, you have to turn off Power Saver. I learnt this the hard way when I thought my NFC chip wasn't working as well, was halfway to the shops for an exchange when I thought, let's try this one last thing
I don't have any NFC notifications though.

I don't think that's accurate, unless it only turns nfc off at a certain battery threshold.
Tested mine @ 27% battery and it still makes the bloopy nfc sound, with power saver on. I also do not have any nfc notifications, just the sound.

The NFC icon only shows up on AT&T(possibly T-Mobile/Sprint) configured devices. If you're installing your ROMs with the International settings, it won't show up.
EDIT: Also the NFC antennae itself is located on the top quarter of the phone, so if you're trying to make contact with another NFC device or a tag, you'll need to position it there.
Ohh ok So it's another AT&T exclusive lol! Finally this made my mind at ease now... Was really wondering why no icon shows up yet logcat doesn't show any errors at all. :good:

To remove the "Power Save" notification (without root), long press on the notification, tap "App info", then force close. The notification will go away until you either reach 14% battery life (at which the Power Save turns on), or if you restart your phone. Then just force close it again.
Xposed module to remove the NFC icon completely!

I just wrote a Xposed module which can remove the NFC Icon (I only tested on HTC One X, but should work on HTC One). The NFC Icon is complete GONE! You could check out on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467970
To remove the nfc icon settings>more and untick the nfc box..
There is an app in the play store that will remove the power saver icon if you mean that you want to use the power saver, but not have the icon in the status bar. Otherwise, just go into settings aswell and turn it off. Settings>power
Or did I totally misunderstand the thread?
Edit: the app is called 'jmz power saver disabler' again, this is if you want power saver running, but not the icon visible. Otherwise just turn off power saver under settings.

I don't think he wanted to turn these features off, just doesn't want the notification(s) taking up room in his status bar. The NFC icon can be turned off (if you're rooted), by navigating to /system/customize/ACC/default.xml - open this with a text editor. Find <item type="integer" name="nfc_show_icon">1</item> and change 1 to 0, then reboot. Now NFC can be on, and the icon won't be there. Haven't found an easy way like this for the Power Saver notification, but like mrrick said, there is an app to do it, as well as a few other options in Dev
Edit: whoaaa this thread was way dead, man...
Haha.. Whoops

Hello. Yesterday i was trying to use a NFC tag sticker to turn on my tv and launch LG remote app but it's only working when unlocked and screen on. I'm on arhd93 and was trying to replace nfc.apk modded for older releases but no luck. Is there any way to use NFC with screen of on 5.0.2 ?
NFC tag is cool fauture but will be more comfortable working when screen off
Maybe someone can mod NFC .apk from 5.0.2 to work on screen off?
There is an Xposed module for that so you no longer need to mod the nfc.apk like in the past. Its called "NFC LockScreenOff Enabler", you can set it to enable NFC when the screen is turned ON and unlocked (stock setting), Screen turned on and locked, or screen turned off.
I have been searching looking for way to make this work with no solution.
I have disabled AOD since it is consuming battery heavily and wanted notifications to behave as on stock android where they turn screen on. My note 8 is receiving notifications and LED turns on, but screen doesn't. I have to manually turn it on to be able to see the lockscreen notification.
Is there any way to make this work?

Facing same issue.
Having the same problem. Aod does not work anymore.

I use "Dynamic Notifications". It lights up notifications when screen is locked. There's a certain amount of customisation, including screen on time. Used it on many of my phones including Note 8.
Wait.. You want the screen to turn on for every notification?
I hate that... Some apps even ignore the settings either way.

Same here, that would drive me nuts if the screen turned on for every notification. It's bad enough the screen turns on everytime the phone is plugged in/unplugged from USB or from a wireless charger.
Shouren, you can try snoozy charger app to manage the plug/unplug screen on issue

Thanks. The rom I'm using is actually supposed to have that disabled but I don't think it works for wireless charging, only cable. I never never charge with the cable anymore. But whatever, I prefer not to install apps just to disable one minor thing.
I understand you, I also prefer wireless, but, it works with wireless too
There must be a build prop tweak or something but I can't seem to find one right now.
Maybe a PM to a nice dev and they could tell you where to look. Report for community if you figure it out
It's really weird that the function of NFC in my Xiaomi9 with a little problem. I did a screen recording and made a record show how NFC works in my Xiaomi9.
https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ag2PVSbNI_G2gbxyTbPopENFuZ9_RA?e=RRiSkd
See that it keeps on-off after I turned it on. I can turn it off then the action of on-off stop.
Due to this reason, I give up flash PE even beastROM because it cannnot be turned on after I turned it off.
I have tried to flash different firmware+vendor file but it just doesn't work. None of them ...
Only MIUI10 can make me turn NFC off even it keeps on-off after turn it on...
Have you guys with similar problem as mine ?
I used this to make a tasker profile and works fine to turn off Nfc with screen off then back on with unlock screen: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/bmigrs/turn_off_nfc_when_display_goes_off_and_only_turn/
Thanks !
Yes, I can do it by automate as well.
My key point is : Is it ROM's bug or my mi9's problem for NFC keeps showing ON and OFF(Or said " keep changing its state between enable and disable ")...

Mine stays on, maybe you have aggressive battery enabled.
Which ROM and vendor?
Miui10 eu 9.7.22
