File: For example.nfc

To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to search for it automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs installed on your computer.

Checking the device for NFC

Would you like to try the technology in practice, but don’t know if this is possible on your device? Let’s check.

To do this, carefully open the back cover of the smartphone or tablet, in a situation where it can move away without damage and inspect the gadget’s battery.

In the presence of NFC development, you will see this abbreviation there. If the cover of the phone/tablet is not removable, then the corresponding icon or abbreviation will be located on the outside.

If for some reason you do not want or cannot remove the cover, you can make sure that such a communication method is available in the device settings.

Find the “Wireless networks” tab, then “More …” and if NFC is available on the device, then there will definitely be a corresponding item.

NFC activation

If you found it on your device, you must also activate access to NFC technology. You can do it like this:

1. go to the “Settings” section and then “Wireless networks”, “More …”, where earlier you could make sure that NFC is available;
2. confirm by clicking on the item “Allow data exchange when combining {amp}gt; device name {amp}gt; with another”;
3. Android Beam is immediately activated on an Android smartphone. If this does not happen, click on it and select “Yes” so as not to disrupt the system;

What should I do if the device does not support NFC?

Don’t worry if you don’t find the built-in function, there is a way to connect NFC to your device. But you can only do this if the panel cover on the back and the SIM card slot on your smartphone/tablet are removable. Installing NFC in this case is not difficult.

The best solution is to install a special module – an external communication device. It is compatible with almost all smartphones, easy to use and gives you access to NFC without buying a new phone.

Main types: chips, SIM cards, external devices, stickers. The last of them are of two types: passive – which do not allow data to be exchanged, and active – use Bluetooth and Wi-fi communication channels for transmission, which significantly increases energy consumption.

These stickers are attached to the outer shell of the phone, which is also not very practical.

The most popular are the following:

• NFC SIM. Now available for purchase from most mobile operators. You can find out about the availability of such a SIM in the communication salon. You only need to install the finished card in your phone or tablet. This type of module is the most affordable and easy to install.
• NFC antenna. The second way, for which you will need to purchase an NFC antenna. You can do this in the communication salon. Next, the antenna is attached to the SIM card and inserted into the device.

As you have already seen, installing the module is quite simple and safe: you do not need to download additional applications or programs. However, these services do not completely replace the Android Pay app, but are just some of its many features.

An NFC tag is a miniature device in the form of a chip that can be attached almost anywhere: from the phone to being inserted under the skin!

We will not use such radical methods, but it is worth noting that contacts, settings, a URL and other data and commands can be placed on the chip. All gadgets can support the tag.

In order to read data from such a device, you need to find a specialized official application on Google Play and then, after installation, you can give the tag various commands for execution.

NFC communication

The technology can also be used to transfer files.

The following steps must be taken to transfer data:

1. make sure you have completed NFC and Android Beam activation;
2. unlock the device, exit the “sleep mode”;
3. check device detection with each other;
4. connect;
5. transfer data between devices;
6. a specific beep will sound at the end.

• small dimensions of the device;
• high transmission speed;
• support on almost all mobile devices.

It is worth highlighting the cons:

• relatively small range;
• Not all devices are equipped with an NFC chip.

So, thanks to these notes, you have learned quick and easy ways to check your device for the ability to transmit information and interact with other technical means using Near Field Communication. By following the simple instructions in this article, you will also be able to find out for yourself if your smartphone has this technology, you will be able to integrate NFC into your phone and transfer the necessary files at high speed.
