Can anyone else verify this? I have used NFC on my Nexus 4 for wallet and sharing things but for some reason they cant read the samsung tectlies or program them... My GNex does but not the Nexus 4. Anyone else having this problem?


Update:
So I did a little research and it turns out that h NFC chip within the Nexus 4 is completely diffrent than the ones in almost every other android device. This means we cant write NFC tags based off of samsungs tectiles hardware/software.
first Broadcom nfc controller chips in Google Nexus 4 | nfc-phones.org
NFC tags; Tectiles, SmartTags, Tag+, Mifare and much more | nfc-phones.org
I dont know why google would choose this tech, I mean maybe its more open? but nothing is commercially available for this and I really did enjoy using the samsung tectiles technology. Now it seems it was a waster of money.... Im no pro at understanding al of the info on those sites I provided but as the end user it sucks. What do you guys think?

My Samsung Tectiles are working with my Nexus 4. I previously wrote them with my Galaxy Nexus, but after rewriting them with my Nexus 4 they're working great. I don't know if it matters, but I'm using the app NFC Task Launcher, not the official Samsung app.

that may have a lot to do with it because the after I was using was the official Samsung NFC app. I will give that a try thanks :-)

Update: thanks a lot man I downloaded that app and everything works just like it did before I really appreciate it!
