IMPORTANT:
- All tags do not come pre-programmed.
- Pre-programmed tags should work natively with all NFC enabled phones, but certain tasks that modify the root function(s) of the phone (i.e. Turn on GPS) will only work for rooted Android phones. If you are not certain, please feel free to drop us a message here or by email to confirm.
- For Android users, we recommend you to download "NFC Task Launcher" or "AnyTAG NFC Launcher" (our Malaysian partner) app from Google Play store to freely configure your own tags (this includes setting and erasing pre-programmed tags).
- All tags are not metal friendly, so ensure that you do not attach on metallic surfaces.


Notes:

NFC Personal Contact Card is it programmable? i mean can we update our contact number later on using Google Play software to customize it right?

Hi,

Yes, in fact, all NFC tags are programmable with a NFC app available from Google Play Store. We highly recommend NFC Task Launcher.
So when you have a new contact number next time, you just have to re-encode your tag using the app.

P/S: Normally there's a write option to 'lock' your tag. So, remember not to 'lock' your tag, because once you do that, it will be read-only.

The Tapway team

Card only got one design? can we stick any custom sticker on top of it? I want to customize it so its look like normal business card do u have plain card?

This post has been edited by ejoeflizzow: Oct 4 2012, 03:47 PM

Hey ejoeflizzow,

That's the only design we have currently. We do not offer customization of designs unless orders come in a bulk (i.e. 200 pieces at a go).
We're working hard to get our hands on equipments so that we can offer this service.
Would you want to try out the one we have and maybe we can notify you next time when we offer the service?

Cheers.

- Jason

Nice..

Pls pm bulk pricing for roughly 100pcs..

Thanks!

does this work to give password to guests when at our home? ie. turn on wifi and enter wifi password.

Yup. There are different apps to achieve this, Instawifi would be a pretty good app. The guest would have to download the app before being able to tap and access your wifi.
The guest, without the app, can tap on the NFC tag and he/she will be led to the app download page in the Google Play Store.
Or you can even transfer your app from your phone via NFC.

Cheers.

1x 'Home Mode' Tag, 1x 'Car Mode' Tag, 1x 'Work Mode' Tag, 1x 'Night Mode' Tag is this all can b customized by using the nfc tag launcher?what the diferent with Standard Lifestyle Sticker?

This post has been edited by hebehow: Nov 3 2012, 01:24 PM

Hi,

All our tags are re-programmable with any NFC app available Play Store.

The mode tags are decorated with common mode identifiers (car, home, night, office) and in different colors than the standard tag. The difference is only decorative.

Cheers,

can blackberry user re-programmable tags with any NFC app?

no understand the usage of this tag.

can explain further????

For Blackberry users, you have to purchase this app called NFCShortcuts in order to launch shortcuts using NFC. Here is the link: http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/co.../65183/?lang=en

Added on November 4, 2012, 11:22 pmHi,

Our NFC tags can help you simplify tasks and save time whether you're in your car, at home or in your office. For example, when you step into your car, you would set your bluetooth, turn on GPS, set Car Mode, open Maps app, play music etc. It is very tedious to accomplish all tasks, more so when you're rushing. With our NFC tag on your car, you can accomplish all these tasks with just one simple 'tap'! These tags are re-programmable using a free app (e.g. NFC Task Launcher from Google Play Store).

Hope I answered your question.

Please do not hesitate to follow up.

Chee How

hi,is that all the nfc tag at the market could perform all the multiple task by 1 tap using NFC task launcher or only the nfc tag u sold?

Hey hebehow,

Any NFC tags currently in the market should be able to perform all the task using any apps that are available in the Google Play Store (not only NFC Task Launcher).
However, if you're using a Blackberry (sadly ) you may not be able to configure the and use certain tags (i.e. our Personal Contact Card) due to compatibility issues (and of course lack of app support).

Hope that clears it up for you.

- Jason

so you need to enable bluetooth/wifi all the time in order to "tap" it??

Dear darkdevilrey,

Nope, all you need to do is to turn NFC on (please note that not all phone models have NFC at the moment).
Bluetooth and WiFi are different technologies altogether.

Cheers.

- Jason

im using samsung galaxy y GT-S5360.

can use?

So what are the limitation on blackberry? Beside personal contact card. So that means I have to purchase NFC shortcut for blackberry in order to fully utilize it?

Cannot use :-|

Dear darkdevilrey,

Sorry but your phone model does not support NFC..


Dear evoangel,

We're are not too sure ourselves as we have not really tested on the Blackberry platform. Big chance that you may not be able to use the Personal Contact Card because of compatibility issues as well.
If you have tried with any Blackberry NFC apps, please do give us some feedback as well.


Dear belthaz,

Thanks for helping us reply!


- Jason

Hi jason Thanks for the explanation even for a small order.

Hey noobie123,

A sale is always a sale even if the order is small.

Cheers.

- Jason

im interested in your product. im running a online store. let me know if you are interested as well. we can talk about it. thanks

Hi Evoangel,

Even though we have not fully tested NFC on the BlackBerry platform, based on our research, in order to fully utilize NFC function on your phone, you need two paid apps called NFCShortcuts and ShortcutMe. Please read this article for more details on how to use NFC on BB: http://crackberry.com/how-use-nfc-tags-blackberry.

Also note that our Personal Contact Card, which uses the Mifare Classic standard, is not supported by the BlackBerry platform unfortunately. However, all other tags are supported by BlackBerry.

If you're interested, try our tags out and give us some feedback. =)

Chee How

Hi, can COD Enhanced NFC Lifestyle Pack in wangsa maju?

Hi yellow_label2207,

Wangsa Maju is a little far. Would you prefer us to Poslaju it to you for an extra RM6.00?

- Jason

If so, where can cod?
Faster i get the items, the better.

Dear yellow_label2207,

The quickest method at the moment is by Poslaju/Posekspress as we are all caught up with work.
Both post methods only require 1 day to reach, with extra RM6 for Poslaju and RM3 for Posekpress.
We would be happy to take bank transfer in the case if you could not purchase via our website here.

Sorry and thanks!

Added on November 29, 2012, 10:18 amSo the different 'mode' tags is only for decorative purpose? What do you mean by 'not come pre-programmed'?

This post has been edited by ymir06kw: Nov 29 2012, 10:18 AM

Hi, Just wanted to clarify..for instance if i want to switch on my bluetooth in my car, i tap it on the sticker..wat if i tap it again will it switch off my bluetooth ? i'm interested in this because i want to use bluetooth only in my car and to save battery at home switch it off..

Hey efariz,

Thanks alot for your support!


Hey ymir06kw,

Thanks for interest!
Yes the different mode tags are decorative purpose for users to easily differentiate the uses for each tags.
Users are to program the tags using NFC apps from Google Play Store, we do not pre-configure it with any settings.


Hey b7tchinc,

Yes you can make a switch from the tag.
If you're using the NFC Task Launcher app, simply create a task for bluetooth on and another separate task for bluetooth off. Then, when you encode/program the tag, you will need to create a New Switch tag, which you will put bluetooth on and bluetooth off.
Your tag will become a switch to turn on/off your bluetooth each time you tag it.

Hope that helps..

Cheers.

Hi TS, interested in this Enhanced NFC Lifestyle Pack - RM45.00.

Price for Poslaju to Kuantan please.

Very interesting product.. will order once i have smartphone..

hope in future the design/pic print on NFC been more style & cool design..

by the way nice advertisement you got..

free bump 4 you..

Thanks!

Hope you'll spread the word around about this cool technology and the endless possibilities that it brings to us all.

received item in good condition , fully Recommended Seller.

Responsive and polite seller, definitely recommended

Wasn't too thrilled with the condition of the product when I collected it at PosLaju though. It was just an envelope containing printed A4 paper with the NFC stickers + card stuck to it. The envelope certainly looked battered due to inconsiderate handling by PosLaju. Some corners of the stickers had become bent but fortunately the stickers themselves were not creased so it's still usable. The counter girl didn't help much by proceeding to rip off the consignment note from the envelope with force without bothering about the content.

I'd like to suggest including a hardbacked cardboard in the envelope when posting, especially to places outside Klang Valley (I live in Kuantan) where it would more likely survive the rough handling and transportation.

Now looking for nice ways to programme the stickers.

Cheers

What is the different between Standard Lifestyle NFC Tag vs NFC Personal Contact Card? in term of how it can be program?

Hi Xanacon,

The difference is that NFC Personal Contact Card has higher capacity than the NFC tag. NTAG tags normally store up to 144kb, whereas Mifare 1k can store up to 770+kb of data.

Hope that answers your question.

actually i am very confuse with the sticker, is the sticker tag is programmable for NFC?

thanks,

Hi Jwwh,

Yes, all NFC tags are programmable with a free app from Google Play Store.

Hope that clears your confusion.

Tapway

and it can re-program at any time right?

thanks,
jwwh

Hi Jwwh,

Yes it can be reprogrammed anytime if you don't make the tag read-only... There's a feature for locking the tags on NFC Task Launcher app (for example), but as long as you don't select it, you can reprogram again and again.

Hope that answers your question.

Greatly interested in your products. But is it compatible with my Lumia 920?

Hi there,

Our product is indeed compatible with Lumia 920. But bear in mind, there are several actions that can't be achieved with the Windows platform, such as changing connection settings.

Other than that, most actions can be performed with available NFC apps in the marketplace.

The Tapway team

Thanks for the confirmation. will buy through your web. await your good news..

Hi,

The Tapway team

i read that the mifare 1k is not NFC compliant, and not supported by latest devices such as Nexus. but why is it still being sold as a 'NFC' card?
Can you kinda explain a bit more? Thanks.

Hi,

In fact, Mifare is NFC compliant and can be used on most NFC enabled smart phones, with the exception of Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 and some blackberry devices. Since Mifare is a standard developed by NXP, phones with NXP NFC chip will automatically support it.

Also to note, Samsung Tectiles are using exactly Mifare too.

Hope that clears your confusion.

Very interesting product and I might say the price is really really good.

This is a very interesting question.
I have a quite similar question though.

Can the tag be used by two handphones, let say me n my partner (both galaxy notes 2)
If I programmed it to switch on bluetooth and switch it off again when I tap at second time..

What will happened if first phone I tapped (switch on bluetooth) and then I tapped the second phone.
Will it recognised two phones or will it switch off bluetooth on the second one?

Hope you can understand my question

..and yeah one more thing.. Can the sticker survived the scorching heat if put in a dashboard of a car here in sunny Malaysia?

This post has been edited by redzaril: Feb 5 2013, 11:36 AM

Hi there,

That is a great question. In fact, we have tried it with NFC Task Launcher by Tagstand, and it worked like a charm. The first person who taps on the sticker will turn on, the second person that taps will turn on as well! The tag recognizes which phone and at what state it is (on / off). So, you and your partner can use them together without a glitch!

Hope I answered your question, bro.

Wow.. I am really amazed on your prompt reply.

Now I really need to decide which package to choose from.
Somehow I think the Hangtag looks more durable than the sticker.

Can the sticker survived the scorching heat if put in a dashboard of a car here in sunny Malaysia?

Thanks for the compliment. Just doing our job to give the best customer service! ;-)

The stickers can sustain high heat condition. I have personally used it for 8 months now and so far I'm still tapping on it as usual!

Our hang tags are freshly baked from the factory and it is indeed more durable and feels better in hand.

The choice is yours, my friend.

Bought Enhanced NFC Lifestyle Pack from TapWay. Very quick response and he will answer every single questions that you have in timely manner.

I have been using NFC chip for few days, find it very useful when I'm driving (set bluetooth on, turn on tomtom & music player) and during meeting (set silent on)

got a question though... do i have to root my phone in order to use NFC to activate my GPS? any bypass without rooting?

I need 10 tags urgently...

Please PM me best price

Hi there,

Currently there is no way to activate GPS without rooting your phone since it is a native restriction of Android. Same goes for turning on / off data.
