Do you have to launch an app to scan a tag? Or do you simply touch your phone to a tag and it works?

Use an app like Trigger to program the tags. You just have to have your phone screen on and on the main screen when you scan the tag. At least that's the way it works with my LG Optimus F7.

Your phone just has to be turned on and not on the lock screen. Then you can just scan the tag without going into an app.

You need to have an app installed and running in the background that recognizes and creates an action for the tag. You don't, however, need to open an app to scan the tag. You just need to make sure the phone is unlocked
771131
You just need to enable the NFC function in your phone settings to scan a tag. To write a tag you would need an app. (There are free apps available)

on an HTC One, simply scan, but phone must be unlocked and screen turned on.

All you need is the Tag pen to go with it. You do have to download the Leap software for the tag pen, directions come with it. And then connect the pen to the computer with the connector, and download the software for the map. If you are giving it for a Christmas gift, it's a good idea to get the pen connected to the computer and download the software ahead of time! The internet really gets clogged Christmas day with everyone trying to do it!

With the galaxy S4 it will, the HTC Vivid and the Galaxy Tab don't have nfc chips in them so they will not work. You have to download trigger on your cellphone so you can write commands to the tags, I found that one beter tan all the rest of apps. You can write commands to the tags and when your place Your phone on the tag it will perform the task you wrote to the tag. I have them. At work, home, in the car and on my keys.

These tags are not GPS sensors, but when scanned with any QR code reader app on your smartphone or tablet, the map of your pet's location will be displayed on your pet's profile page under "Last Scanned" so you can track your pet.Any smartphone with a QR code reader will be able to scan the tag. Most devices already has an app you can use to scan. If you don't have one, you can easily install one for free by visiting the app store.

No, it comes with 2 tags. The locator is set up to search for one tag at a time. Instructions are very simple and easy to use

The tags are super easy to use. You do not need any programming skills at all. I don't have any experience with programming. You just need an app from the Google Play store. I use "Trigger." I am not sure about the Samsung S4 active, but as long as it has NFC, these tags should work.

So I own one of these and just tried it. Once you activate your account (which is free with the purchase of the tag) then it will show you any recent scans of the QR code. I scanned it with my phone (Android, though I don't know if that makes a difference) and got a popup saying Dynotag would like access to my location. I hit "Do Not Allow" but the account for the QR code still showed the approximate location this is what I got. "No scans with coordinates. April 03, 2014 08:03PM GMT Location not shared. IP: 72.128.21.145 - Mission, KS US" and for the record, Mission KS is give or take 20 miles away from me.

Assumig your phone has NFC, check to see if your phone can download the Samsung app to program them.I use an app called trigger which works just the same. If you can download it, you can program it. Trigger is also a really nice free app to get into some more automation. Look up tasker which gives you full access to the abilities of your phone

I think you'd needa different tag for each pet. When you scan the tag it will take you to the website where you'd post a picture and information about the animal Then when someone else scans the tag that info will come up, allowing them to contact you and it will send you a text informing you of the location where the pet was when scanned. You can rescan the tag if you want to edit your pet's profile but it doesn't just stay on your phone. My biggest concern with this product is that the tag doesn't seem very durable. I'm afraid it's going to break so I don't actually have my dog wear it much... which makes it pretty useless. I think you'd needa different tag for each pet.

I only had the FOB but as far as I understand, the main difference is that the TAG doesn't have an ability to find your phone at the push of a button. So the FOB is two-way but the TAG is only one-way seeking. I hope that this helps.

Well... In my expirience and with a little patience, you can customize many different options of your smartphone: Change the screen brigthness, change the volume, activate car mode, open an specific application and many more! I suggest you first try one of the many available apps in the markets that allows you to read/write your tags and program your specific task to them. An example for me is: -When I get to work, I have one tag sticked to my desk, after I scan it, the phone goes to vibration mode, wifi off, 3G on, GPS off and also I have a time tracker app that allows me to punch in/out times by scanning this tag. -When I go home, I have another tag sticked to the door, then, phone goes: wifi on, 3g off, sound on, bluetooth on and open music app to play throug bluetooth enabled stereo. -When I drive my motorcycle I got another tag sticked under the tank protection, then my phone goes: GPS on, sound on, drive mode on. It really depends on how you want to handle your phone in different situations, hope my uses help you.

I bought a nexus 4 3 months ago and yes, the tags work with it. The NFC Task Launcher app may say that it could not write to the chip, but it actually does.

No, this only opens via the scanner. The first time I programmed it, I made a big mistake. It was set up to open, BY ANYONE, just by depressing the first finger pad. That is the only pad that actually depresses. The proper set up is: You press that pad first, then scan your finger.

No. You just touch the tag to the back of your phone to cause some action . You can place the tag anywhere.

It depends. The system is not as responsive as I expected. It usually takes 8-12 minutes until a notification arrives - and that location is already some minutes old. So if you have a fast traveling pet, good luck. You are dealing with outdated info.The map on the android is not accurate either. Plus, even if you try to locate your pet within the home zone, the map on the mobile device is useless, because it shows the tagg being at the center of the home zone.

Yes. You need to set up each tag to correspond to a button. There are enough buttons on the locator for 4 tags at once.

Are you NFC settings enabled? Pull down from the top of the screen with two fingers. Look for "NFC" make sure under the words there is a green line. Go back, open the app, go to write have it do something simple, then find " write " place the tag near the bottom of the phone right where the battery is ( NOT the charger port, the actual battery ) Once it says "Complete" Or whatever the app says, close the app and simply place it near the battery again. If nothing happens then if you got a extended battery without NFC that's why. Please comment back exactly what happens, if it doesn't work. I'll check back
