    Is it possible for the s4 to read a rfid chip using its NFC technology, I just want the phone to register that a chip has been scanned i have been trying but with no success(using various NFC apps, turning NFC on holding chip to phone, nothing happens), Can anyone give me some advice if this is possible and if so what apps they used. thanks.


    **Info i found elsewhere online:

    "RFID chips operate at several different frequencies whereas NFC tags all operate at 13.56MHz. There is a type of RFID chip that also works at this frequency but I still don't think it will work with an NFC reader"

    Can any one verify if the above is correct

    RFID can also use 125khz.

    I found my S4 to be much fussier about reading stuff than my nexus 7 or S3 was. Where the NFC tag info app will read my debit and student cards on those the S4 just flashes up a "this tag is not supported" message.
