I just ordered my NFC ring and can't wait to get it. I am happy it will unlock my NFS based Android phone (Nexus 5), which is worth the purchase alone, but after seeing Apple's keynote and seeing how easy their NFC based payment system is because of Touch ID, I can't see why this ring can't be used for Google Wallet authentication as well. Is this something that would be hard to implement? I think it would be very convenient not to have to do anything but touch my phone to the terminal then touch my ring to the phone to authorize the payment. Just as easy as Apple's Touch ID solution.

Thanks

Hi all,

I got my NFC Ring a few days ago but I am having an issue. The main reason I bought the ring was to easily unlock my phone without having to use a pin every time. My phone is encrypted (Nexus 5) so I have no way of turning off the stock PIN/unlock power on screen. Is there a way to integrate the ring into Google's stock PIN lock screen without root or evenn get around it? If not I feel like I just wasted 50 bucks. I do not want to root either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nick
