Do anyone ordered this and get an NFC tag included. I have limited experience with NFC tags and this one does not seem writable. What it's for?

You are correct, the NFC tag included is not writeable, however you can download an NFC editor app and it will be an application on your phone that whenever your phone detects the tag, it will perform an event that you want it to. But it will only work on a phone that you program it to work on. You can also program multiple phones to do different things whenever the tag is detected but again it will only happen on whatever phone you program it on.

I don't know since I don't have the battery but J. Wilson is wrong, the battery provides the NFC signal. If the battery doesn't have NFC abilities you will not be able to use Near Field Communications. Does anyone have this answer? I would like to buy this if it does have NFC capabilities.

I have this battery. It claims it works with NFC but it does not. Very disappointing.

I use an app called tasker with my nfc. tasker is an automation tool and can do all kinds of cool things. if my nfc writer can't perform some action, I'll turn to tasker and define a set of steps I want done. some nfc writers allow you to call a tasker set of instructions. So, even though the nfc writer might not do the job, because tasker can be called from nfc we can add functionality. good luck!

No idea about NFC, not had an opportunity to use that function. The bluetooth works fine with a couple of different bluetooth speakers and keyboards.

The tag acts like a trigger. Download an app to read/write to them (Like Trigger), and make sure NFC is enabled. Then rub the tag along the back in order to read/write to them. Your S4 should make a sound when it recognizes them.

should be compatible with any nfc app. they are rewritable. use the app called NFC task launcher.

Yes, ANY NFC keytag should work fine on ANY NFC enable device. Look at www.kimtag.com to see more on tags.

I never used NFC. On the other hand this model does not have Android operating system. HR

The NFC antenna is part of the back cover. The ones that I received included NFC antenna in the extended back cover. I have not used anything that requires NFC so I don't know whether it works well or not. I hope that helps you.

Unfortunately, no. Apple has yet to see the potential of NFC (one of the many reasons I stand by Android). Sorry :/

Tags for "Droid" ... But they might: http://www.forbes.com/sites/markrogowsky/2014/09/01/the-tech-once-called-nobody-freaking-cares-is-on-its-way-to-must-have-status-with-the-iphone-6/ ... For the price, it's worth a try. NFC is awesome.

It doesn't use NFC, just bluetooth. You can connect/reconnect remotely. I use connected to an amp and I do it in presentations and can disconnect so someone else can connect and vice versa. You have to trigger it to do the initial pairing but then you're golden.

My conclusion; yes easily removable, side buttons function very easily also, and it is just a very top notched functioning cover, I don't know what NFC tags are?? But it fits my Motorola Droid, Maxx (or whatever it is) perfectly, I love it, and I love the cover, I got the pink cover so that it would stand out. Much love to you...

I don't know if it's NFC compatible with the case in it. I don't use the NFC.

I don't believe so as the NFC doesn't trigger anymore, the NFC chip being located in the battery, that being said, the price was right and it works otherwise. Let's face it, the original battery wasn't great either. Weird smell, burnt out instantly, etc...
