Samsung Tectiles for Android
You can write a task to a TecTiles tag to change a device setting, open an application, share a contact, make a call, send a message and more.
Run the task by holding the back of your device over the TecTiles tag. Place the TecTiles tag in a convenient place, so you can run tasks more easily.
Supported phone :
Galaxy Note , Galaxy Note2, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4
Selecting the application to launch was crazy...was not even sorted by name.
I am new to using these and I love them. Currently using them with my Galaxy S7 Edge.
The task you can set are limited.
The TecTiles 2 (V2) along with this app work great! Perhaps the prior review by the other person was based either on a prior software version, they may not have been programming them correctly or attempting to program version 1 of the tiles. Assuming they were following the easy to understand instructions in the app, then it was more than likely a previous software version flaw that has since been fixed or version 1 of the tiles. But I can confirm that TecTiles 2/V2 work with this app.
It definitely needs more setting options. Very very limited to what settings you can adjust. I also think that all settings should be able to be toggled. What harm could arise from allowing this? Zero. I don't want to check in or open apps, I just want to adjust the settings of my phone and I feel a little let down. :( If there were access to a significant amount of settings, then I would rate this 5 stars without hesitation.
I love what they can do, I just wish they worked when the phone is in a case. Will not read tag with even a basic hardshell cover on the back of my device.
For me I am using Galaxy S5 and I got no problem... Just that I cannot send any messages using WhatsApp but instead I *MUST* use the default messaging app... Plz update
Uncle to write tags
Thanks a lot Samsung. What kind of NFC tags are supported with the S6?

Bought textiles because, you know Samsung note 4, Samsung Techies should work right? Wrong, wasted money........ Thanks Samsung
Samsung TecTiles + Samsung S6 + This Samsung App. Tiles were a waste of money.
The app functions but refused to program any of my textiles... What gives?
Upgraded my phone (note 4) but now all my tags don't work
Samsung to Samsung should work thinking iphone is looking better everyday
GS4 update to most recent software.
Note edge +tec tiles= nfc tag not supported. Me wth
This app does not work with older samsung brand tec tiles.
I assume nfc adds extra draw on the battery. The tag that I have has too little storage to do much, I can imagine having several for different places but I don't really have the need to change several settings, launch apps or get my phone out every time I arrive at one of these places. A bit of a gimmick but I like the idea.
Sometimes it does not connect to mobile NFC
the task available are far too limited :/
My old textiles or not compatible, apparently nor is the phone. Samsung neglected that fact.
Stops working every time I tap
Lame.
Needs Do not disturb toggle
How can it be that its own app (samsung in a samsung phone) cannot be moved to the SD card? samsung Galaxy S4 mini

Purchased the Samsung brand TecTiles, opened the pack, tried to program one and was told they are not supported on the Galaxy S5. Went back to the store and all the packs are exactly the same, so I'm unsure what brand to buy. Also, no refund since the pack was opened.
It works great, yes. It's very easy to use and helpful, yes. But it's missing options like toggle GPS, toggle screen rotation, close application... Which would make this a 5-star app I guess.
I can't seem to find some of this supports activation of the Hotspot or not. I was wanting to turn that on when in the car so my wife only devices would work.
If this is Samsung NFC tag writer I expect better settings support. Every morning when I wake up I have to setup on my smartphone Multi window ON, WiFi, Sync ON, Smart stay, screen rotation and sound on. I will really appreciate better support of this app for my note edge.
Hey Samsung, thanks for NOT telling us they are unsupported with Galaxy S4! I found this out AFTER I bought TecTiles! I finally found out that I need TecTiles 2 so I may use them with my S4. Tsk, tsk...
Works well but limited functionality. Would be great if included ability to turn on/off other features such as Location Services
Class
I really like it. I use it to set my everyday alarm.
Usefull in many ways
I got the Samsung Brand TecTiles from my provider. After trying to program got a message that this tag not supported. I have a Samsung Note 4.
Would be nice if it had more options, like no notifications when tectiles are activated.
I saw so many updates . I didn't see the changes in the list. We must need mobile data on /off

I just want my phone to unlock when I touch it to the tag. Can these do that?
