issues with NFC

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 07:49:00 GMT

Hi - I'm experiencing some possible "non-wanted" limitations with the NFC features in Xperia S

1) I can't get NFC to work while the phone is locked - is there an option to enable this (I mean for example Wifi is turned on while phone is locked - why is NFC disabled).

I have two tags for also start playing the first song and to toogle Wifi - but this requires the phone to be unlocked. Useless in my meaning.

I want to even use a tag to unlock the phone.

2) Why is NFC enable/disable icon missing in "tools" widget (i.e. bluetooth, wifi sound, gps and all almost all other is there...)

thanks in advance, regards from Mattias

1) The phone needs to be unlocked as of right now. Don't know if there will/can be a change to this. I'm actually on your side here. I would like it to work when locked too (at least have the optiont to choose). I've forwarded this feedback already but I will add your comment.

2) Good feedback, I'll make sure this gets through to the developers.

Thanks for posting!

Hey, I'd also like to see both of these features.

Even though from what I've read the first one is disabled due to security reasons and I perfectly understand the concerns about it, it could at least be optional instead of enforced.
