[Q] WP8 NFC App?

I´m searching a special App for my 8X: Is there any app which can read NFC tags and use them to interact like starting bluetooth or something like this? On Android, there is NFC Task Launcher. Does WP8 has something similar?
thanks in advance!

Search "NFC Tag" in the Store. I was thinking of getting some NFC tags and had a look the other day. There were a few of them and I'm pretty sure they had the ability to launch a specific app as well as activating WiFi, Bluetooth etc.

Starting apps can be done. Changing settings is a no-no in Windows Phone due to security concerns. The most is the ability to open the settings page (e.g the wifi settings) but you have to turn it off yourself.

Bluetooth allows it to connect to Bluetooth headsets and stuff from the app itself.
Disable keylock to allow you to accept calls from the app even when your screen is locked.
Audio record I'm guessing is to allow you to record from the app? But I'm not sure.
Viber has an SMS system in it...
Think of the others and how they can be implemented to HELP in using the app, rather than spy on you. Also, read all the conditions for all the other apps like it, and you will see that they are all very simular.
Use your common sense man, if it was malicious it would have been noticed officially and removed from the playstore.

Sending photos direct from camera? Pretty obvious really, this Thread is a waste of time and effort, there is nothing malicious there at all. Every thing can easily justified by valid functionality in the apps usage.

Yeah it is. There is a legit explanation for these permissions. I mean it's one of the most downloaded apps on the market and only HE decided to check the permissions?

i dont know but i hope you read this carefully again

THats on the website googleplay:
Allows the app to take pictures and videos with the camera. This permission allows the app to use the camera at >>>any time without your confirmation<<<<

This is the ONLY way camera permissions are granted for an app. So the app developer has no choice but to include this permission whether he likes it or not. The "any time" part is beyond the developers control. Heck even Google Search requires this same permission. View the android manifest for more details. Don't be alarmed.
PS. Buddy I have rolled around in Android. So if you saying I have "no clue about" it is an understatement.

OP thanks for the Warning and Users will decide what they want to set their permissions for their apps. Thanks.

[REQ] Motorola Skip App

Small request for someone knowledgeable to extract the Motorola Skip app that it might have the ability to be ported to another phone (though I'm sure there's a whack of framework addons as well)

If I recall correctly, isnt there like a playstore app mod that makes your phone seem like your phone is in another country so you can have access to that country's specific apps?

It's not looking for your country, it's a device block. The app you're thinking of is Market Enabler, but you still need a Moto X to download the apk

I don't have a Moto X but I tried several apps you talk about before and it never worked quiet right. Even changing my build.prop didn't allow me to download.

Bump
Still looking for a kind hearted soul to find the APK

Isn't Skip just a Moto-branded NFC tag? If so theoretically any NFC reader would work with it, no? You could use Tasker to do x task when the Skip is read, I would think.
Or try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qnsolv.tag

Tasker lacks any and all NFC handling/interaction.
The NFC App you posted, lacks the ability to effect the lock screen.

I've actually got it to work. Although I'd love to still try the skip app.
I use tasker, NFC task launcher and secure settings. My razr HD is rooted and unlocked and the screen unlock only works reliably with the pattern lock (the pin lock got me unreliable unlocks). I use a Samsung tectile which I stickied to a duck tape loop which fits over my belt.

I want the skip app, too. Just to try it out
Although, from what I've seen in a review video, the app didn't seem to work as reliably as the tasker setup. Even if the screen was supposed to turn on once a tag was tapped, it mostly required you to turn on the screen and then tap the tag.
And honestly, I doubt that the skip app will just work on my razr HD without tweaking the app. I run stock Motorola Android 4.1.2, and for the phones settings I need secure settings app to change the system settings as the regular OS doesn't allow external apps to change the settings. But still, once the app becomes available, I'll give it a shot. Just like you said, it's just one app.

harika bir şey haklısın

I hope someone finds a way to use the skip and skip dots for something other than just unlocking. It's just too limited right now to be very exciting.

Well, considering how often I unlock my phone over the course of a day, it may not be exciting to just unlock, but it definitevely is convenient. Although I'd love Motorola to support other NFC enabled devices, too.
I can understand that they have this thingy for the Moto X exclusively (I mean it's one of their selling points), but if older phones can do, too, why not support it?

[Q] Install carrier exclusive apps

Is there any way to install carrier exclusive apps on non-carrier phones? I'm not talking about OEM exclusive apps, but carrier exclusive ones.
For example I want to install AT&T Locker on my Lumia, but I'm not in the US, let alone on AT&T.
Can this be done?

Yeah, same proxy technique as for OEM apps...

I tried Reker's proxy: 117.135.139.179, and also another one: 103.13.29.118.
I could freely install OEM apps, but not that AT&T Locker one.
What else can I try?

You have to actually create your own proxy rules. It should be pretty obvious what part of the URL specified from your phone is the MO identifier; you just have to change that to another MO. (For example, T-Mobile USA uses "TMO-US" and Rogers Canada uses "ROG-CA"; I think AT&T uses "ATT-US".) Those "public" proxies are only aimed at the OEM apps, since normally the MO apps aren't worth anything to people who don't use that MO.

Thanks a lot. After meddling a bit with Fiddler2, I finally managed to install that AT&T Locker app. It fu**ed up anyway, opened fine but crashed at login. Guess it's not my luck.

Yeah, I can understand that Fiddler isn't the easiest thing to run... Are you using my app to install AT&T Locker or are you using the direct URL? Also after you got it installed, is it requiring an AT&T SIM or something?
Oh, another thought... What device are you using? This app actually has some provxml stuff that gets deployed on Lumia devices.

I have a Lumia (1020). So what I did was using the Auto-responder function to capture the URL then redirect it. I changed product code to a 1020 AT&T (dm=RM-877_nam_att_205), change carrier to AT&T (moId=ATT-US). I accessed it with IE using the direct URL (bookmarked in advance). I think it worked fine, since it did display the install button.
When I opened the app, it displayed a signup/login window. After enter my credentials and hit login, it crashed, and kept crashing when I tried to access back to the app. Had to remove and reinstall. Then I tried to signup for a new account, it still crashed and crashed. From my laptop, I can login fine.
I didn't see anything on the app that said it requires an AT&T sim. But since I'd changed moID to AT&T, it should be tricked into thinking my sim is AT&T isn't it? And I did keep the proxy on all the time. If you can install and run it fine, could you give me some instructions about how you did it? Like what and how parameters should be changed?

I actually have only ran it on my 520, not even on my 928 yet... I just know it needs extra privileges once installed, as it shows up inside the Tier3 list. Check on your phone if its in that list if you can.

I'm a little confused here. It sure requires an OEM level restricted capability, which is ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO_FULL, I think, so we cannot sideload it. But since I'm installing it from the store, it should be okay, isn't it? Like we can use proxy method to install Nokia Camera which obviously has this capability.

The app installs from the store, but the provxml that's inside might not be executed. Usually you can launch Tier3 using the dial string to check if it's fully installed. You can find the code in the WP8 Diagnostics thread in my sig.
EDIT: Never mind... I thought this app had one and it doesn't. I'll need to look at the xap to investigate...
Those ATIV S devices are looking to be more and more useful...
