This How.com.vn article shows you how to read NFC tags using your Samsung Galaxy device. NFC, which is short for near field communication, is a technology that makes it easy to wirelessly transfer information to and from your phone or tablet. If you’ve never used your phone’s NFC feature before, it’s easy to turn on and use. NFC tags are usually flat, circular, and about the size of a quarter. They can come in a variety of styles and colors, and they often say "NFC" somewhere on them. NFC tags can be found pretty much anywhere, but are commonly found near routers, on keychains, on bedside tables, on desks, and in cars.
Steps
Pull down the notification bar. If you’ve never used the NFC feature before, you may need to turn it on. Start by using a finger to pull down the navigation bar from the top of the screen.
Tap the Settingsbutton. This icon will be located in the top right corner of the screen.
Select Connections. In your settings, you’ll see a list of options. “Connections” should be right at the top of the page.
Make sure NFC and payment is switched on. Scroll down until you see the “NFC and payment” option and tap the toggle on the right side of the screen.
Return to your home screen. Tap the “Home” button, which is the middle of the three buttons at the bottom of your device.
Hold your phone against the NFC tag. For the information transfer to work, it’s best to place the center of your phone against the tag. After a few seconds, you'll receive a notification related to the function of the NFC tag.- Common uses for NFC tags are to send a file, share contact information, connect to Wi-Fi, and make payments.
