How to detect that Tap+Send setting is disabled or enabled [WP8]

[AhmedRBasuony]

Hi,

I'm building an application using NFC for Windows Phone 8,
I want to know if the user enabled using Tap+Send from Device settings or not.

How can I detect that?

Hi,

Changing device setting through an app in WP8 is not possible. However, when you tap two WP8 devices and their Tap+Send setting is on , they will create a NFC communication channel that can be detected by a sound which appears when the devices are in proximity. By that sound you can detect whether Tap+Send for the device is enabled or not.

I'm a bit late with this hint but I just saw your question. Hope it helps, anyway.
