How to stop NFC from opening URL on Android?
I have a NFC ring that I am basically using as a cheap alternative to a fingerprint censor for my Android cellphone. I have added it as a trusted device to unlock my phone successfully.
But, the ring seems to have an embedded URL in it, that auto opens just after I unlock the phone, much to my annoyance.
The URL opens nothing currently, but no doubt interacts in someway with a requisite Chinese based company app (with waaaaay too many permissions, camera, microphone, contacts...bank accounts...etc LOL ) that I dont want to install on my phone.
Anyway, does anyone know how to disable how Android deals with built in NFC actions? Note, I do not have any third party "actions" app installed that would be causing this behavior.
Thanks a lot for the help and insight:-)

Hi Jackie
Thanks for the heads up and information. I appreciate it.
It is disappointing that Android (or cellphone vendors) does not treat NFC actions as independent of the unique NFC device itself.
Begin rant...
Generally it is disappointing that NFC has not taken off as much as I personally believe it should. It is so obviously useful, for payments, bus fare, keycard access systems, inventory auto tracking...etc. Once again we have to rely on Apple to push it through the channel partner ecosystem ... and then obligatory "wallgarden" it :-(
End Rant
The company or brand is called Jakcom. I don't actually know if the company is doing anything sketchy, they may not be at all and 100% on the up and up. But way too many permissions, and being that my phone is stuck on 5.1 I have no way of managing things. The ring looks damn cool though. Understated and tough build materials :)

Thanks for both of your help :-)
There has got to be a way to stop it, lol and I would have thought turning off Android beam was it.
