Because your tags haven't formatted yet?

Tags must be formatted before writing data to them. NXP TagInfo will tell you if the tag is formatted. NXP TagWriter, NFC Task Launcher and most other apps can format tags.

Tags cannot be affixed to metal surfaces. If you stick them to metal, tag behavior will either be erratic or not work at all.

Our 1k tags will work with any device that supports MIFARE™ classic tags (i.e. has an NXP NFC chipset). This includes the Samsung Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia, HTC One X, Nexus S, Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, and many other phones.

Please note: due to technical limitations, the Galaxy S4, Nexus 4 phone and the Nexus 10 tablet cannot read MIFARE™ classic 1k tags. The Galaxy S4, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 will work with our NTAG203 tags (see below).

If you plan on using them in a public space we recommend you to lock them, that is, make them read only. Our tags can be made read only, but the specifics of how you do it depend on the app you are using. NOTE: setting the tag to read-only (locked) is permanent, nobody can change that tag after that, not even you.

Normally, our tags need to be less than 2cm (approx 3/4 of an inch) from the phone to work. For best results, actually touch the tag with the phone.

No, NFC tags don't need batteries. Without getting into the technical details, just assume tags are like CD/DVD discs. You can write to and read from them without batteries.

NTAG203 tags have 144bytes, though the usable memory after formatting is 137 bytes. You can still use these tags to execute complicated tasks, however you must use an App that stores the tasks locally in the phone, not on the actual tag.

Ultralight tags have 64bytes ( NDEF memory is 42bytes), suitable for short url, text storage, however  user could store exceeded info that over its capacity by using tasker launcher apps. If in such way, the tags only store an application's  pointer, then the pointer will find the actual NDEF info in local mobile phone memory and conduct it. Therefore this form of nfc tags can only be used in specific nfc phone instead of share infor among various phones.

MIFARE 1K tags have 1024bytes (1KB), though the usable memory after formatting is 768 bytes. These tags have more memory than most tags on the market allowing you to execute more complicated tasks.

NFC Tags' functions under four headings: Settings, Phone, Web and Social. A handful of examples:

Settings

• Enter quiet or in-car mode
• Set an alarm clock
• Launch an app
• Join a WiFi network. This could be used for giving convenient access to coffee shop networks.
• Show a message

Phone
• Make a call
• Send a text
• Share a contact vCard

Web
• Open a web page
• Show a location on a mapping service, such as Google maps
• Check-in to Foursquare, or other location-based services.

Social
• Update Facebook status with a location
• Like' on Facebook
• Send a tweet
• Follow a Twitter user

Tags may also be pre-programmed and distributed to users. Such a Tag could be set to take the user to a manufacturer's service support page and sent out stuck to washing machines or other domestic whitegoods. Factory-prepared Tags can also be printed with logos, or moulded into forms apart from stickers, such as key fobs or wristbands.

NFC Tags are a near field communication application for use with mobile smartphone devices ,worked at 13.56 Mhz with read distance less than 10 cm.

Each Tag is a low-cost self-adhesive sticker with an embedded NFC chip.They are programmed before use, which can be done simply by the user, using a downloadable Android app.

When an NFC-capable phone is placed or 'tapped' on a Tag, the programmed action is undertaken. This could cause a website to be displayed, the phone switched to silent mode, or many other possible actions.

Unlike most RFID, which makes an effort to give a long reading range, NFC deliberately limits this range to only a few inches or almost touching the phone to the Tag. This is done deliberately, so that Tags have no effect on a phone unless there is a clear user action to 'trigger' the Tag.
