Easy Hotspot NFC

Once you've set up an NFC tag to use with Easy Hotspot, just unlock your phone and tap it on the tag to turn your hotspot on. Tap the tag again or click on the Easy Hotspot notification to turn it back off.

In the spirit of keeping things as easy as possible, you can set up any NFC tag with just a few taps in the app:

1. Launch Easy Hotspot
2. Tap the Easy Hotspot icon in the app
3. Place your phone on the tag you want to use
4. If the tag is not empty, Easy Hotspot will prompt you before overwriting it. If it is empty, or if you tap "OK" on the overwrite prompt, Easy Hotspot will write to the tag, and you're done!

Put an NFC tag sticker on whatever devices you use your phone's hotspot with for an effortless way to get your device connected. I use a small tag (http://nfctags.tagstand.com/collections/ntag203/products/type-2-nfc-ntag-wet-inlay-circle-25mm) stuck on the inside of my tablet case to get my tablet online while riding the train to & from work. If you're going to stick the tag on something metal, like the bottom of a MacBook, be sure to use a shielded tag, like one of these: http://nfctags.tagstand.com/collections/ntag203/products/mifare-ultralight-white-metal-proof-nfc-sticker-circle-30mm-diameter

NOTE: Make sure the tag is under your phone's NFC antenna when trying to read it to activate and de-activate Easy Hotspot, or write to it in order to set up a tag for Easy Hotspot to use. This location varies depending on phone model, so you may need to move your phone around a bit until it sees the tag. You'll hear your phone's default notification sound when Easy Hotspot finds a tag.

What permissions are used and why:

NFC - to scan the Easy Hotspot NFC tag
Access Wifi State - to determine if WiFi should be reactivated when Easy Hotspot is turned off
Change Wifi State - so that Easy Hotspot can turn your device's WiFi hotspot on and off
Internet - for automated crash reporting
