Topic: P2P communication between Xperia S phone and ACR122S not successful

Hi all,

There are some post about Nexus S and ACR122U NPP communication successful,

but my test environmet is a little bit different.

My Phone: Sony Xperia S . Android 2.3.7 NFC capable
Reader: ACR122S (serial).

In the phone I am using API Demos (complied for andorid SDK 2.3.3 API 10), "ForegroundNefPush" test.
In the reader I am using the ACR 122S Tools 1.0.0.0 to send PN532 commands directly.

As far as I know, Samsung Nexus S has PN655N NFC chip but no news about NFC chip inside Xperia S.

All looks OK, but  D4 86 command returns a "25": DEP Protocol: Invalid device State. the system is in a state which does not allow the operation.

Any ideas what is happening? Hardware incompatibility? Any configuration missing?

Re: P2P communication between Xperia S phone and ACR122S not successful

I sent the question to ACS and that was the answer:
-------------------------
""
  I am sorry to tell you that we have not tested the ACR122 with Xperia S NFC phone.

  There is possibility that the communication between Xperia S and ACR122 is different from the Nexus one.

  But I do not have much information at this moment.
""
------------------------------------

Maybe NXP has the answer, because we are really using PN532 of ACR122.


I cannot find Nexus S brand new yet, I will try with Galaxy Nexus in few weeks... but anyway looks not to be a "good" solution: " to use my appl. not olny you need a NFC phone, even should be Samsung"

Re: P2P communication between Xperia S phone and ACR122S not successful

Hi !
I found that:

ACR122 Manual

1.2 Bi-Color LED
A user-controllable bi-color LED with red and green color is provided.
* The green color LED will be blinking if the "Card Interface" is not connected.
* The green color LED will be turned on if the "Card Interface" is connected.

So, because of the led, is blinking, red, or turned on only when the phone is on the reader (non application lauched) and none SW on PC side, could be possible a hardware incompatibility between ACR reader and Sony Xperia S and Samsung SIII,

any idea?????

Re: P2P communication between Xperia S phone and ACR122S not successful

Hi,
I've managed to make the Xperia S connect with the ACR122U reader. The problem is if the reader is in initiator mode the connection does not form with the Xperia S, which I think is at Initiator mode itself. So to make the phone connect with the reader the reader has to be put in the target mode. This can be done with the library provided by NFCtools.

groups.google.com/forum /#!forum/ nfc-developers

In target mode the reader displays a yellow light, and when placing the phone running a NFC beaming application on the reader I get prompted to "touch to beam" And I've successfully sent text data and read it from the java client from the reader.
thanks.
